Chapter 168 Anticlimactic ending
"Enough, how can we take seriously what a crazy palace maid says?" The Queen Mother was furious. This Que'er used to be a capable person and had helped her in many things. She had thought of transferring her to her side after this matter was over, but now it seemed that she might do more bad things, so she couldn't let her say anything anymore.
"It seems that the Queen Mother is feeling guilty?" The young Prince Fu was not willing to tolerate her and he confronted her directly.
"I don't have any guilt for anything, I just think it's ridiculous that you guys took the nonsense of a palace maid seriously.
Although the Queen didn't understand why this palace maid could be so stupid, it didn't mean that she didn't understand the truth of the matter. It looked like the aunt and niece were going to have a big fight, so why was she so happy?
"Let her speak." The emperor knew that the matter could no longer be covered up. With so many people watching, he had to teach his mother a lesson to prevent her from trying to get involved in everything.
Que'er relaxed. The emperor had asked her to speak, so how could she not speak?
"What happened was, when I went to get the food, I put the clothes in the food basket in advance. After I brought the food back and put it on the table, Sister Cai'er used the excuse of sending the food basket back, left the food basket she brought and took our food basket away. Then, when the three of them were eating happily and not paying attention, I carried the food basket to the inner room, took out the clothes inside, and put them back in their original places." It felt so good to say it. Que'er felt like the breath that had been held in her heart was finally released, and she felt relieved.
"You framed someone...Tell me, who taught you to say that?" Shi Yaoyao's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
"Why don't you just ask Sister Cai'er?" Que'er has given up hope now. She doesn't dare to expose the empress dowager, let alone a concubine.
Nanny Xing and Nanny Zhang also came to their senses. They had never expected that Que'er was such a hidden person. It turned out that she was the Empress Dowager's person.
The Queen Mother had no time to argue with the Prince of Fu at this time. She regretted it very much now. It was all Rou'er's fault that she got involved in this mess. Now she could only pin her hopes on this concubine. As long as she refused to admit it, no one could do anything to her.
“Cai’er was just assigned to me to serve me. How would I know what she has done, Your Majesty…” Shi Yaoyao dragged out a long tone that she thought was charming, looking at the emperor lovingly.
Young Prince Fu could not stand such pretentious women the most: "The matter is very clear. It is this concubine who wanted to frame Huang Xiunu. What crime should she be charged with? Isn't there a law in the palace?" When will the trial be over? He even wanted to go to his brother Huang's house for lunch at noon.
"Your Majesty, Miss Shi is right. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that someone deliberately taught this maid to say this. How could someone who has done something bad say it so easily without being severely tortured?" Xu Rou was afraid that Shi Yaoyao could not bear it, so she stood up to speak for her.
"That's right." Shi Yaoyao looked at Xu Rou with gratitude. It was this sister Xu who saw through her thoughts about the emperor. She promised that if she succeeded in doing this, she would let the empress dowager bring her into the palace. This matter had to succeed, and she had to enter the palace.
"Que'er, Cai'er, did you hear that? This young lady said that only torture can make people tell the truth. What do you think?" Huang Ye is no pushover either. She knows how to manipulate people's hearts.
Looking at the face that looked like the Empress Dowager, the two palace maids did not dare to say anything: How could you not know what was going on when others did not know? And you still want to torture them severely? Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry. If their lives are really threatened, even if it is the Empress Dowager, they dare to tell it out.
"Alright, alright, let's just leave it at that. There's not much time left in the morning, so we'll just hold the beauty pageant in the afternoon. You all can go home." The Queen Mother spoke again. She had to say something. The investigation could not go any further. This beauty was obviously not easy to deal with, so the matter could only be put aside.
Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter any further and didn't say Huang Ye was guilty anymore, most people present breathed a sigh of relief. This was good too, as they couldn't push the empress dowager against the wall.
"Huang Ziye, are you really willing to enter the palace? I heard that when your grandmother and mother heard the news of entering the palace, they were unwilling and cried for several days." Xu Rou said proudly. She would never let this bitch escape.
Huang Ye's face was calm, without the panic that Xu Rou hoped to see: "I believe everyone here knows that I am a treasure in my family. For an ordinary daughter to leave her parents to get married, her family members are also very reluctant to let her go. Not to mention entering the palace, it is even more rare to see her throughout the year. My grandmother and mother are reluctant to let me leave them, which is also human. How come this lady says that she doesn't want to enter the palace?" Huang Ye simply said it out loud. Some things are more likely to resonate with people when said directly rather than beating around the bush.
"You..." Xu Rou didn't know how to refute, so she could only stomp her feet and act coquettishly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at her, she always quibbles..."
The emperor ignored her, and didn't even look at her. He got angry when he saw Xiao Fu Wang winking at him. They were all troublesome. He had to cover up this matter half-heartedly. Didn't he have any face? But she had to consider her father's face. It was really embarrassing for her mother to be like this. He couldn't sit still.
"Everyone go." The young emperor strode out, and the people accompanying him hurriedly followed. The empress and the queen mother also left. The young Prince Fu went to see the third prince. The child didn't speak for a long time. What was he thinking about?
He was shocked when he saw this. The child was staring at her adopted sister infatuatedly. How could he bear it? "What are you looking at, kid? Is that what you should be looking at?"
"Brother Crown Prince, Miss Huang is so pretty." The Third Prince was not a fool. He would not tell others something that was not true. It was normal for him, a child, to say that she was pretty.
