After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 8 Deprivation of title
  After saying this, Tian Hong seemed to suddenly think of something, and stood up directly and walked to the edge of the pool where Concubine Chun fell into the water just now.

He checked the railing carefully, and then his expression changed drastically.

He immediately walked up to Emperor Qing Ling, knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are obvious cuts on the railings, and the cuts are neat. It looks like they were caused by a sharp weapon. Someone framed Concubine Chun, Your Majesty!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the scene was shocked.

How dare you assassinate the princess during her full moon feast? This is simply audacious!

Emperor Qingling was furious and looked at the queen: "Queen, is this how you manage my harem? The concubine framed my favorite concubine at the full moon banquet, causing both Concubine Chun and Concubine Yao to fall into the water! You didn't know?"

The Queen was suddenly called upon. She raised her head and looked at Emperor Qing Ling, then stepped forward and knelt down.

The concubines in the harem also knelt down.

The concubines said: "Your Majesty, calm down."

All the concubines were kneeling, except for the Yao Concubine who was still being held and protected by Emperor Qing Ling.

The queen looked up at Emperor Qing Ling with sad eyes, filled with tears, and begged: "Your Majesty, how did I know about this?"

Emperor Qingling frowned, obviously displeased: "What does the queen mean, do you want me to blame Concubine Chun who fell into the water? Or should you blame Concubine Yao who saved her! Or should you blame me!"

He was so energetic and his voice was so rich that everyone on the scene knelt down.

In an instant, only Emperor Qingling and Concubine Yao were left standing.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is indeed caused by the Empress's negligence, but the top priority is to find out the mastermind behind this and restore Concubine Yao's innocence."

The person speaking was the Queen's father, Prince Heng. He was also the Queen Mother's biological brother, that is, Emperor Qing Ling's biological uncle.

Emperor Qingling looked sideways at Prince Heng and said solemnly: "That's natural, but my uncle understands my heart best."

This sentence directly made Prince Heng sweat.

How could he have forgotten that what their Emperor Qing Ling hated most in his life was the alliance between the former dynasty and the harem? If he opened his mouth to dissuade him, wouldn't he have bumped into Emperor Qing Ling's sword?

Prince Heng quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just thought that only Concubine Yao and Concubine Chun were present at that time. Concubine Chun fell into the water, and Concubine Yao could not escape the blame."

Emperor Qingling waved his hand and directly ordered Wei Weiran: "Then listen to Prince Heng, Wei Weiran, let me investigate and search the palace!"

Wei Weiran quickly knelt down and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Prince Heng raised his head suddenly, caught Emperor Qing Ling's eyes and quickly glanced away.

He really shouldn't have taken the lead this time.

But he was very eager to protect his daughter, for fear that the emperor would convict him and the empress.

Such a large-scale search of the palace, no matter whether it is true or false, will definitely find something, and the person who is implicated, even if he has a grudge against his Wu Ya family, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the future.

Wei Weiran sent people to search the palace, and Emperor Qingling said coldly: "Everyone, get up."

Everyone stood up, but they all avoided the eyes of Emperor Qing Ling.

Only Prince Heng looked at Emperor Qingling, but he happened to look at him with his eyes, which were frighteningly heavy.

Prince Heng suddenly thought of a possibility and almost fell to the ground on the spot with weak legs.

No, no, no, no, how could it be possible?
  Everyone waited for about two quarters of an hour, and Concubine Yao was already seated. She was still wearing Emperor Qing Ling's dragon robe.

Concubine Yao didn't feel honored, but she was wary of danger in times of peace.

Why did the emperor have such an attack?
  Others may think that he cares about her, but Concubine Yao herself knows that is not the case.

Does Emperor Qing Ling like her?
  Of course I like it.

As an emperor, he loves all the women in the harem. No one is his favorite, and no one really comes into his heart.

The superficial love is just to balance the former dynasty and the harem. If it is true, it does not mean that it is not there, but it is not as good as the country.

While she was deep in thought, Emperor Qing Ling walked towards her, raised his hand to cover hers, and said warmly: "Are you cold?"

Concubine Yao smiled and shook her head, holding his hand back: "Your Majesty, I am not cold."

Emperor Qing Ling raised his lips and touched her face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Don’t worry, I will compensate you.”

Just as Concubine Yao was about to stand up to thank her, Emperor Qingling pushed her down on the chair and said warmly: "Sit tight, I feel sorry for you."

Concubine Yao looked at him with her lips raised, her eyelids lowered, and she smiled gently.

The smile reached straight to his eyes, and the corners of Yang's eyes were smiling.

"Your Majesty~"

Just two words.

But Concubine Yao could say that Emperor Qing Ling felt itchy in his heart.

Emperor Qing Ling looked at her deeply and patted her hand.

"Your Majesty, Wei Xin found something, but..."

He glanced vaguely at Concubine Chun, who was standing to one side in a panic, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Emperor Qingling walked forward from Concubine Yao and said solemnly: "Speak!"

Wei Weiran quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Wei Xin found a dagger in Yanxu Palace. There were sawdust on the sword tassel on the railing by the pool. The maid next to Concubine Chun also said that she saw it with her own eyes. Concubine Chun ordered people to cut the railings..."

Hearing this, Concubine Chun immediately knelt down and was horrified: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Someone must have deliberately wronged me!"

Yanxugong is her bedroom.

And it was a grace that she herself begged for between the beds.

It is said that a former imperial concubine was favored by the late emperor in Yanxugong Palace. Since then, she has been favored and favored all the way to the position of imperial concubine.

She wanted to follow the old path of the Imperial Concubine, but unexpectedly, this happened just after Concubine Yao came out.

Who could frame her upright and get away with it on her own? Who else could she blame besides Concubine Yao?

Concubine Yao must have deliberately cut off the railing, and then planned to take the opportunity to push her into the water, try to rescue her, then remove herself, and then blame everything on her!
  With such scheming and hatred, she couldn't think of anyone else except Zong Yaohe!

Thinking like this, Concubine Chun pointed at Concubine Yao angrily and said, "It's her! It must be her! It's her who framed me! She did it on purpose, it must be her!"

Wei Weiran glanced sideways at Concubine Chun and looked away indifferently.

In his opinion, Chun Fei is finished.

If you are so disrespectful in front of the ministers and concubines, even if the emperor really has the intention to protect you in the future, he will no longer be able to do so.

"Concubine Chun was stripped of her title, demoted to the rank of Young Master Jiang, and thrown into the cold palace. Everyone in Yanxu Palace was sent to the Department of Sentence and Punishment to work as coolies, and her personal maid was sentenced to death."

Emperor Qing Ling gave the decision directly.

There was no hint of defense in his words, and from beginning to end, he never even looked at Jiang Xiaozhu.

Young Master Jiang cried so hard that he knelt and crawled towards Emperor Qing Ling: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am sincere to you. I hope the Emperor will see that I have served you for such a long time..."

Before she could finish her words, Wei Weiran stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Come here, take Young Master Jiang down, don't dirty the Emperor's eyes!"

"Yes!"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Young Master Jiang was crying so hard that she was extremely embarrassed. She had lost face in front of everyone.

For a moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Concubine Yao.

As soon as she came out of the cold palace, the emperor had a seizure.

Although Concubine Yao has not been favored for a month, looking at her appearance today, it seems that the emperor deliberately stayed away to protect their mother and daughter. She is indeed extremely favored.

If there is a child next to him, he will definitely be a strong opponent in the future.
