Nan Muze's face darkened, "Losing the Phoenix Seal is a capital crime. Regardless of whether it was stolen or not, you who keep the Phoenix Seal should be punished accordingly. If the person who stole the Phoenix Seal must be beheaded, then losing it You, the one with the Phoenix Seal, should be guilty of the same crime!"
When Liu Fang heard this, her expression suddenly changed, "Your Majesty has already taken care of this matter, how come Prince Cang..."
"Oh? Have you dealt with it? Aren't you just waiting for that person to be punished? Then why are you okay?"
Nan Muze said with a cold face, "If the phoenix seal was really stolen by a maid, then you must have thrown the phoenix seal in a very obvious place. Otherwise, how could a little maid who rarely enters the palace steal such a valuable thing?" Something? Are you not guilty of keeping the Phoenix Seal in this way?"
"I……"
"I haven't finished speaking yet. As far as I know, the princess and her maids have not even entered your bedroom. How dare they steal your phoenix seal? Did you put the phoenix seal in it? Do you want to use it as a stepping stone at the gate?"
Liu Fang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "How can Prince Cang be so sure that they have never entered my palace?"
"Oh, the prince said that you went back to the palace to sleep after the banquet. In that case, how could they force their way in? Could anyone come in and disturb you while you were sleeping? Or, in other words, they would just do it in front of you Your face rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in your palace, and then justifiably took away the Phoenix Seal? In this case, do you believe it?"
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
"Bullshit? You were obviously told by this king and you became angry, right? You used such a despicable method to slander Princess Cang, and everyone saw it. You were the only one who kept yourself in the dark, thinking that your plan was perfect, but In fact? Everyone is just looking at your identity to save you some face. Since you are so shameless and aggressive, I must also count with you and use my phoenix seal to slander Princess Cang. What crime should be committed!"
Liu Fang blushed when she was told that, and immediately looked at Nan Gongcheng aggrievedly.
"Your Majesty, look at Aze, how can he talk like this..."
"Is what I said wrong?"
Nan Muze was determined to punish her, so he looked at Nan Gongcheng again and said:
"Brother Imperial, the matter has reached this point and everyone has been punished as they deserve, but Brother Imperial should know who is the initiator of this matter!"
Nan Gongcheng lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Nan Muze added: "I was thinking about the queen's reputation before. Even though everyone knew the truth, even though everyone knew that the queen was slandering a little maid, everyone still wanted to save the queen's face and did not hesitate to behead an innocent maid. , just to silence the public, but now that the prince has paid his life for it, is there still a lot of gossip in the world? Now that things have happened, do we still want to protect the queen's remaining reputation?"
"Prince Cang is talking nonsense! Why would I use the Phoenix Seal to slander Princess Cang? If you say this, at least provide evidence!"
Nan Muze sneered, "Evidence? Then do you have evidence? You said you were not slandering, so where is your evidence?"
"Everything has been found from that girl, what more evidence do you want?"
"You are the ones who said these things! If someone else finds the phoenix seal from that maid's body, that can be considered evidence, but what kind of evidence does your person count? It's also possible that the phoenix seal was in your hands from the beginning and was forced to be given to others. The body is said to have been stolen. Isn’t the Queen very good at doing such a thing?”
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Assuming that this king is talking nonsense and there is no evidence from both sides, it is best to keep the reputation of both parties and let the matter go undisclosed, but you must be aggressive. In this case, the gentleman who broke the law is as guilty as the common people, and the second prince was punished and demoted. After serving the common people for three years, shouldn’t you, the queen, stay in the cold palace for three years?”
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to his nonsense. He is so angry that he has started talking nonsense."
Liu Fang looked anxious and looked at Nan Muze angrily: "I know you are very angry now, but you can't..."
"You said that the second prince and the others indirectly killed the prince. If that's the case, you, the instigator, indirectly killed the prince.
The murderer of my son! If you hadn't used the Phoenix Seal to slander others in the first place, how could they have committed the crime? Now that they have all been punished, you, the initiator, should also be punished, right? "
After Nan Muze finished speaking expressionlessly, he looked at Nan Gongcheng and said, "This is the end of my words. The rest of the emperor can handle it himself."
After saying that, Nan Muze turned around and left there.
As Nan Muze and others left, Liu Fang no longer had the arrogance he had before. She just stood aside sweating profusely and looked at Nan Gongcheng cautiously.
"Your Majesty, what Aze said are all angry words. Don't take it to heart. Everything has nothing to do with me..."
"Have you said enough?"
Nan Gongcheng spoke coldly.
Liu Fang gritted her teeth and did not dare to speak anymore.
Nan Gongcheng said again: "I know the truth of the matter. I have given you enough face. I beheaded a maid just to preserve your remaining reputation. But instead of restraining yourself, you have gone even harder. Queen, please let me I'm so disappointed."
Liu Fang quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry, I am my concubine..."
"Now that things have happened, do you still want to quibble? Do you really believe that everyone in the world is a fool, or do you think that I am a fool?"
Liu Fang bit her lip and was speechless.
Nan Gongcheng took a deep breath, "It's not that I don't help you, it's that you really have no reason now. You were the cause of everything. You were also responsible for the death of the prince. Since I want you to be the queen, I have already I have tolerated you again and again, but now, how can you let me let you?"
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, but none of this was my idea..."
"It wasn't your idea, could it be the prince? Until now, you still refuse to repent. You keep saying you want to seek justice for the prince, but now you start to blame him. You are such a good mother and queen!"
Liu Fang was speechless, her face full of panic.
At this moment, she regretted how much she had talked so much. If she had just let Nan Muze leave in a good manner, wouldn't it have been so troublesome?
While feeling regretful, Nan Gongcheng had already turned around and returned to the imperial study.
"Come here, please take the queen back to the Palace of Peace and confine herself to her for a year."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fang collapsed to the ground on the spot.
A year of confinement?
How is this different from relegating her to limbo?
Beauties in this palace come and go, and it’s hard to say whether the emperor will still remember her as the queen after a year...
Liu Fang was anxious and rushed forward, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Your Majesty..."
But before she could rush forward, she was already blocked by two guards. No matter how she shouted, the emperor didn't look back and quickly closed the door to the royal study.
She was unwilling, unwilling, and kept shouting. She completely lost the look that a queen should have...
As Liu Fang was dragged away, the surroundings became quiet.
In a corner not far from the imperial study, a young man stood there quietly for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Behind him, a follower lowered his head and followed, "Congratulations, Your Highness, killing two birds with one stone."
