Chapter 73 Confidence
This means that even if the frame-up of Prince Rong is successful today, no one in Prince Rong's mansion will die.

The late emperor left a lot of things to save the lives of Ling Xiao and his son. I'm afraid the emperor has even forgotten the existence of this dragon-headed cane.

No wonder the concubine was so arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone and even not taking the emperor seriously.

Feelings have such confidence.

The Grand Duke cursed the late emperor in his heart and made him the crown prince, but this created such a powerful opponent for him.

It's really a relief even after death.

If the late emperor knew that he was scolded by a eunuch, he would have opened his coffin.

After all, the Grand Duke had seen many big occasions and was able to remain calm in the face of danger. He immediately said respectfully, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. The Emperor knows that the Queen Mother is ill, so he specially ordered me to bring some nourishing food to the Queen Mother."

After saying that, he held the box in both hands.

"Humph!"

The concubine snorted coldly, without even looking at the box, and put down the cane in her hand heavily. The sound shocked the Grand Duke, who was afraid that the concubine would go mad and use him as a scapegoat. In that case, he would be at a great loss today.

She said in a cold voice: "A weasel is paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. How can that kid have good intentions? Take these things and these lowly creatures and get out of here with me."

"My Lady Concubine, this is the Emperor's will. I cannot make the decision. Please accept it. My mission will be accomplished."

The Grand Duke wished he could kill the old man with one blow, calling them lowly creatures. Who is born noble? They are lowly creatures, forced by life.

The Grand Duke tried hard to persuade himself not to be angry. Don't be angry. If you get angry to death, no one can replace you. Besides, those who went out haven't come back yet. He has to buy time for them.

Anyway, the old man wouldn't want the emperor's things, so she had to accept them.

But she overestimated the Toffee's patience and intelligence. If she was going to be safe today, why would she come out with a dragon-headed cane?

The concubine raised her cane and hit the Grand Duke, cursing fiercely: "Who the hell are you? Even the emperor's son dares not disobey me, why are you barking in front of me? Get out of here, or I will kill you all. What can the emperor's son do to me?"

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

The Grand Duke was hit hard by the Toffee's dragon-headed cane. He grimaced in pain and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out.

Except for the people in Prince Rong's Mansion, everyone understood the purpose of this imperial edict.

A eunuch walked in holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and behind him followed Lord Lu, the Minister of Justice.

"Your subordinate greets the Concubine Dowager."

"Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Toffee asked with a dark face.

Lord Lu immediately bowed and said, "My Lord Consort, I have received a report from someone that there is evidence of treason hidden in Prince Rong's mansion, so I reported it to the Emperor. For the sake of the country and Prince Rong's innocence, the Emperor ordered me to search the mansion. Only if Prince Rong is innocent can he return home safely."

This was a clear threat, and even the arrogant concubine could no longer be arrogant.

But she is an old hand at palace fighting. Today, the eunuch Grand Duke must have come first to place the stolen goods. Later, this old dog Lu found them out and trapped Ling Xiao in the palace to prevent her from doing something desperate. Bah, she is a human being, and humans will do something desperate.

"Bah, you bunch of bastards, are you that stupid to keep evidence of my son's rebellion? It's not that easy to kill my mother and me. Don't even think about searching Prince Rong's mansion, unless you step over my dead body."

Lord Lu was so angry that his teeth itched. This concubine was really a shrew as the legend said. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why is the concubine like this? Let me search and the truth will be revealed.

I heard that Princess Rong is pregnant with twins. If something happens to the Concubine Dowager and it gets to Princess Rong's ears, causing her to have a miscarriage, then the Concubine Dowager will suffer more than she gains."

"What, twins?"

The concubine was stunned, but she reacted and raised the dragon-headed cane in her hand to hit Lord Lu.

"You bastard, you dare to cause my daughter-in-law to have a miscarriage. Even if I die, I will drag your entire clan down with me to be buried with us."

Lord Lu was shocked, thinking that this was a crazy woman. He snatched the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand, stepped back several steps, and held the imperial edict high.

"Tiffany, you are trying to disobey my order. Someone, take her down. She has gone crazy."

"Brush brush..."

The imperial guards immediately drew their swords from their waists and pointed them at the concubine.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous here, Dowager Concubine? Let this gentleman search it." At this moment, Leng Yue and Anyi walked in. Leng Yue immediately supported the Dowager Concubine who was so angry that she lost her composure.

"Don't be angry, Concubine Dowager. Let them search. Our Rong Palace is clean and innocent. We are not afraid of being framed."

Leng Yue helped the stunned concubine to sit down and said with blinking eyes.

"Yes, Toffee, don't worry, we are not afraid."

An Yi, who had already changed his clothes, also agreed. Usually An Yi hid in the dark and always wore black clothes. Now he was wearing a green suit, the guard uniform of Prince Rong's Mansion.

The concubine finally came back to her senses and looked at the two of them. They nodded to her and gave her a reassuring look.

The concubine held Leng Yue's hand. She knew that she was Su Nanyi's maid. She didn't expect that this girl would stand up at the critical moment. She thought that they had already cleaned up the dirty things.

So she said, "Okay, I'll let them die knowingly."

Then she looked at Lord Lu and said, "Please go ahead, Lord Lu, but I have to make a promise. If anything is broken in Prince Rong's Mansion, I will make you pay ten times the compensation."

"Yes, I will make sure that I will not damage any plant or tree in Prince Rong's mansion."

When Lord Lu saw Leng Yue and the other man appear and said those words, he knew that today's plan had failed.

But the search still had to be carried out. He couldn't possibly slap himself in the face, and he also had to report to the emperor.

"Come here, search for me. Be careful not to damage anything in the mansion."

Lord Lu gritted his teeth and gave the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Imperial Guards and detectives from the Ministry of Justice in the hall quickly went to search.

The Grand Duke then looked at Leng Yue and Anyi carefully. He had indeed underestimated the people in Prince Rong's Mansion. The internal strength of these two people was not inferior to his.

At this point, he had no choice but to squint and wait.

At this time, the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice's detectives searched every courtyard, but nothing that should have been there was found, so they all returned empty-handed.

"Report, Lord Lu, we didn't find it."

"Report, Lord Lu, we didn't find it either."

"Report..."

"Report..."

……

A total of ten teams went out, and all returned empty-handed.

"Hahahaha... you bastard, how are you now? Is Prince Rong's Mansion innocent?"

The concubine was extremely happy and pointed at the Grand Duke and Lord Lu and cursed them happily.

Lord Lu...

The Grand Duke...

There's really nothing to say about these two bastards.

"My Lord Concubine, I am sorry to bother you. I will go back and report to the Emperor."

Lord Lu said this with gnashing teeth.

"Humph, all of you get out of here!"

The concubine snorted coldly and spoke sternly.

"Yes, the slave will leave."

"I am resigning."

Lord Lu and the Grand Duke bowed to the Concubine Dowager, then left Prince Rong's Mansion with their tails between their legs.
