Chapter 45
"The Empress is here." Lanhua just had something happen, and the empress came.Mo Ziqing couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, this time he might be doomed.

The empress must be looking for trouble for her in such a hurry, Lan Hua is sick again.

Mo Ziqing let out a long sigh, glanced at Qian Hong who was kneeling on the ground in fear, and walked away.

"My daughter has met the Empress." Mo Ziqing saluted the Empress dignifiedly.

The queen empress had a straight face with an angry look on her face.With a casual glance, Mo Ziqing could feel the Queen's anger.

"Lanhua is so sick, what can you explain to Bengong?" The empress sat upright, only glanced at Lanhua, and asked in a cold voice.

Mo Ziqing bit the bullet, and replied respectfully to the empress, "I don't know what's wrong with this orchid, and I'm sick today, but I will do my best to cure this pot of orchids." of."

"Do your best to save the orchids?" The empress sneered, "You know the meaning of that pot of orchids to the emperor, right? After picking the orchids, the emperor kindly gave you a chance to find a way to make this pot of orchids bloom and then let it go." You. But you are good, the more you raise them now, the more orchids are not as good as before. Do you think this palace can still pamper you like this?"

The Empress took a breath, and cast a cold look at Mo Ziqing, "Today, for the sake of the Emperor, I absolutely cannot spare you."

"Come on, send this Mo Ziqing to the Punishment Department." The Empress ordered sharply to the palace servants beside her.

Where is the Punishment Division?As long as you go in, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin.Mo Ziqing felt terrified after thinking about it.

Mo Ziqing raised his eyes, and said unyieldingly to the empress, "Empress, it is indeed the fault of my servant that Lanhua had an accident. But anyway, my servant was ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned. If she is to be sent to Department of Punishment, I am afraid that the emperor should make an order, right?"

Mo Ziqing told the empress empress in a roundabout manner that she was imprisoned by the order of the emperor, and you have no right to get me to the Punishment Department.

"You, okay." The empress was very angry, pointing at Mo Ziqing, and smiling coldly, "As the master of the harem, I can't even control a little girl like you?"

"Empress, calm down, empress, please." Xiaodie suddenly knelt down, crying to empress, "Empress, our young lady didn't mean to contradict you, just, just."

"You maidservant, where do you have the right to speak here?" The empress angrily ordered the elderly nanny beside her, "Pull it out and give it twenty slaps."

"Yes, ma'am." The old nanny agreed angrily, and dragged the weeping Xiaodie out.

Mo Ziqing turned pale with fright, and didn't care about so much anymore. He let go of his pride all the time, and begged the empress, "Empress, my servant made a mistake. I beg you to let Xiaodie go!" Right. Xiaodie is just a court lady, she doesn't understand anything."

"Papa." A loud voice sounded, and Mo Ziqing's heart was broken in an instant.

The empress looked at Mo Ziqing who was lying on the ground from above, expressionless, "Mo Ziqing, you have today too? Aren't you always very proud?"

The empress sat in the sun, admiring her cardamom nails, without looking at Mo Ziqing, she just said indifferently, "Today, I want to kill your arrogance."

"Empress Empress." Listening to the loud slap sound, and imagining the pain that Xiaodie might suffer, Mo Ziqing's heart seemed to be tugging.Using his knees, Mo Ziqing quickly moved to the empress's side. Although he knew in his heart that the empress would not let Xiaodie go, Mo Ziqing still expressed sporadic hopes.

"Empress, I know my mistake. If there is any punishment, I can just come here. I beg you to spare Xiaodie." Mo Ziqing can be said to be a cold-hearted person.However, if a person really walked into Mo Ziqing's heart, Mo Ziqing would treat him as one of his own, and would protect him all the time, even with his own life.What's more, now Xiaodie is still punished for herself?
Mo Ziqing looked at the palace gate from time to time with earnest eyes.

"Empress, it's already full." The old nanny dragged Xiaodie in and said coldly.

Mo Ziqing looked at Xiaodie, whose eyes were blurred with tears and her face was already red and swollen, and her heart ached.Mo Ziqing hurriedly supported Xiaodie, "Xiaodie, are you alright?" Mo Ziqing carefully looked at Xiaodie's injury, but did not dare to touch it.

The Empress looked at Mo Ziqing coldly, with a sneer on her lips.

"Mother, it's just some trivial matter. Why are you so angry?" Xuanyuan Che's voice came from behind, and Mo Ziqing's heart was ignited with hope.

"Evil King, why do you have time to enter the palace today? Didn't you go busy with the affairs of the court?" The empress's attitude towards Xuanyuan Che could not be called friendly, but it was still kind.

Xuanyuan Che glanced at the tear stains on Mo Ziqing's face, and then at the scars on Xiaodie's face, a trace of reluctance welled up in his heart, and he felt even more guilt and self-blame.He couldn't even protect the woman he loved.

"Mother, Che entered the palace for Che's concubine." Xuanyuan Che said lightly, but his simple sentence reminded the empress that this is his concubine, not a cat or a dog, not you casually. punishable. "Che originally wanted to see Ziqing. However, I didn't imagine it. When I walked in, I found out that the queen mother actually wanted to send Ziqing to the Punishment Department, and punished the maid in my house like this."

There was a bit of questioning in Xuanyuan Che's tone.The Empress is also not afraid of Xuanyuan Che, besides, the situation is on her side now.

The empress smiled coldly, "Mo Ziqing failed to take good care of that pot of orchids, which made the orchids sick." The empress pointed to the pot of orchids not far away, very proud.

Xuanyuan Che looked in the direction the empress pointed, glanced at Lan Hua, and frowned tightly.

"Empress, this orchid is the treasure of the royal father, no matter what happens, it should be handled by the royal father, right?"

"Xie Wang, you must protect this Mo Ziqing today, right? It doesn't matter whether you will oppose me or not?" The empress's voice was rare and sharp, reminding Xuanyuan Che.

Xuanyuan Che was convinced, without any expression on his face, "Mother, Che has no intention of opposing you, just discussing the matter."

"Hmph, that's good. Let's send someone to invite the emperor. Let's see if the emperor will agree with the way I deal with Mo Ziqing after seeing this sickly orchid." The queen empress shook her sleeves angrily. He gave instructions to the maid beside him.

"Go, invite the emperor."

Mo Ziqing's heart just relaxed, and now he brought it up again.Mo Ziqing really couldn't guarantee that even if Xuanyuan Che was protecting him, the emperor would kill him when he saw the sickly orchid.

What should I do?Mo Ziqing could really be described as burning with anxiety at this moment.How can I get myself out of this trap?

Qianhong?Mo Ziqing suddenly thought of Qian Hong. Since Qian Hong dared to frame her, she dared to betray her now.Then I don't need to protect her and pity her anymore.

Mo Ziyao, you should also pay the price for what you did.

Mo Ziqing's fingernails dug into the flesh, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"The emperor is here." The emperor really treasured that pot of orchids. When he heard that something happened to that pot of orchids, he didn't care if there were any important national affairs around him, so he ran over directly.

Looking at the sickly orchid, the emperor's expression changed from eagerness at the beginning to sadness, and then to anger.

Mo Ziqing calmed down and waited quietly, waiting for the possible earthquake.

"What's going on here?" The emperor's voice was not loud, maybe because of heartache, or because of extreme anger.

The Empress gave Mo Ziqing a sinister look, "Your Majesty, this is Miss Mo's. If something happens, I'm afraid it must be related to Miss Mo. Besides, you were the one who ordered it, Your Majesty, and only Mo Only when the young lady raised this orchid until it bloomed can I touch confinement. This time."

The empress wanted to say something endlessly, but the emperor raised his hand to signal the empress to shut up.

"What do you have to say?" The emperor looked at Mo Ziqing quietly with anger in his eyes.Mo Ziqing is sure that if he is not careful at this moment, he will be irreparable, and even Xiaodie will be involved.

Mo Ziqing kowtowed heavily before explaining to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this orchid is of extraordinary significance to my servant. I have no reason to kill it, and it is impossible for me to kill it. What's more, my servant has always They are all doing their best, and Lanhua is also in good condition. Lanhua was so sick all of a sudden, because someone framed the minister's daughter and poisoned Lanhua."

"Nonsense." The empress said sharply, "How dare you deny something you did wrong? You really don't know how to live or die."

"Father, I believe that Ziqing is innocent." Xuanyuan Che said solemnly, even kneeling beside Mo Ziqing.

The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Che, then at Mo Ziqing, before he said calmly, "Tell me, what evidence do you have to prove your innocence."

Mo Ziqing's heart suddenly returned to its original position when it was mentioned in his throat.Since the emperor is willing to listen to his explanation, it means that everything can be saved.

Meeting Xuanyuan Che's worried eyes, and the empress' empress's vicious eyes, wishing she could kill herself, Mo Ziqing said leisurely, "My daughter caught the poisoner."
