Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 110 Tears of Anger (2)
"Report to Your Majesty, please see Doctor Cheng Rong." At this time, the imperial eunuch came in to report. "Let him in quickly." Ming Gong straightened his clothes and ordered the eunuch to close the thin curtain. Cheng Rong knelt down expressionlessly to pay his respects.

"Cheng Rong, you and Que Tu are good friends, why didn't you intercede for him this time?" Ming Gong asked. "My lord, because I'm a minister in the court, and I'm acting privately and publicly, it's not good to plead for mercy without knowing the situation." Cheng Rong smiled.

"Cheng Rong, you are sensible. This time, more than [-] courtiers from the imperial court jointly impeached Dudu for illegal activities in the capital. What do you think?" Ming Gong stroked his beard.

"I believe that Mr. Jutu was imprisoned by the order of the queen, and the king should first listen to the reasons of the queen." Cheng Rong said calmly.

"Hey, Cheng Rong, aren't you talking nonsense? The queen has been in a coma for several days because of her grief. How do you tell her to speak up? Let me see that she rebelled and assassinated the prince. The evidence is conclusive. You should be punished and beheaded on the spot. , you don't have doubts, do you?" Mingong snorted.

"My Majesty, I believe that if the Empress Dowager is the first witness, if she cannot wake up for a day, the Majesty will not be able to kill Qutu." Cheng Rong nodded his head and said.

"Okay, you want to say that the widow is too anxious, and killing Jutu at this time is somewhat of an element of public revenge, isn't it?" Ming Gong said with a stern face.

"Your Majesty, there is actually one person who knows the truth." At this time, the imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi interrupted.

"What do you mean?" Mingong looked back at Xiao Ruzi strangely. "Did your majesty forget? Before your majesty left Beijing, you personally told Miss Yunniang to take care of the princes." Xiao Ruzi reminded cunningly.

"By the way! Yun Niang!" Ming Gong suddenly thought of Yun Niang's beautiful appearance, and couldn't help calming down a little, and immediately told Xiao Ruzi: "Xiao Ruzi, where does Yun Niang live now? I will go and see her now."

The eunuchs set up a chariot, Minggong walked all the way to Chonghua Palace, Yunniang was playing in the yard with Hui En, when she saw Minggong coming in like a tiger, she quickly knelt down and saluted.

"My servant Yunniang kowtowed to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Yunniang said with her lips parted.

"Yunniang, you have been haggard these days, let me see how the princes are doing during this time?" Mingong smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the princes were bitten by mosquitoes before, and they all had rashes on their bodies. It is a pity to pray for the crown prince, who was not in good health and passed away." Yun Niang said sadly.

"Oh, it's not your fault, Yunniang, tell the widow, when the widow was not around, was there a rumor in the palace that Qutu had the disobedience to kill the prince?" Ming Gong stared at Yunniang and asked in a low voice.

"This, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I know that the Queen Mother personally ordered Quetu to arrest him, but for some reason, he didn't execute Mr. Quetu, and the higher-ups didn't say anything, so no one cares. Yes." Yunniang replied.

"That's unreasonable! It seems that this Qutu is really abhorrent!" Mingong suddenly recalled the past rumors about Qutu, which further strengthened his suspicion.

"Yunniang, you stay to accompany the widows, let them all go down." Ming Gong stared at the timid Yunniang, and ordered suddenly.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done, Yun Niang is just a lowly girl." Yun Niang immediately changed her face, knelt down and replied.

"Shut up, the widow sees that you look a bit like a queen, so I let you take a walk with the widow, why, even you dare to ignore the widow?" Mingong said angrily.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yun Niang cautiously followed Ming Gong.

The next day, just after morning, Minggong felt uncomfortable all over, so he told Xinyue with a bitter face, "Xinyue, show me, I want to go to Chonghua Palace to find Yunniang."

Xinyue whispered nervously: "Your Majesty, Yunniang was just taken away from the Chonghua Palace by the queen's order. "

"What? Si'er is she awake?"
