After saying this, everyone around him knelt on the ground.
Everyone did not dare to breathe, and the whole palace was silent.
Then Wen Qiurou pointed at Du Baili on the ground and said:
"Especially you, how did you become the second brother? When I asked you to pick up Shengsheng, forget it if you didn't bring her back, and you followed your younger siblings to make such a big fuss! You were put into confinement after you came back. After all this time, there is still no progress at all. Your sister has suffered so many years outside. Can't you pamper her and protect her more when you come back?"
Du Baili gritted his teeth, "What the Queen Mother said is..."
Seeing that his attitude was so friendly, Wen Qiurou's mood relaxed a little and she said slowly:
"Whether you did it or not, since it happened under your eyes, you should go back to confinement now!"
Du Baili clenched his fists, with thousands of words stuck in his throat, and finally nodded.
Then he stood up and walked out slowly. Halfway there, he turned back and glanced at Liu Shengsheng.
That look in his eyes was indescribably complicated.
Liu Shengsheng opened her mouth and was about to say something when Wen Qiurou said coldly:
"Shengsheng, you don't need to plead for them. They have enjoyed enough blessings in the past few decades. They have enjoyed decades of blessings, but you have suffered for so many years. Now, let them suffer for a few days." , that’s exactly what it should be!”
After a pause, she glared at Du Baili with hatred, "What's more, they were at fault in the first place. Just relax and live here peacefully. The Queen Mother will strengthen the guard and send more people." People are here to protect you!"
Liu Shengsheng's heart was extremely touched.
Even at this moment, I forgot what I should say.
Since returning to Liguo, she has been very wary when facing everyone.
And I always feel that most people in Liguo are bad, especially those in the palace...
But now that she was so protected by the queen, she was really moved.
Maybe you should relax your mind, stop pushing yourself so hard, and stop looking at everyone with vigilance.
Perhaps, I can try to trust the queen in front of me a little bit...
While Liu Shengsheng was deep in thought, Nan Muze, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Empress, the matter of assassins can be big or small. At the very least, it may be that someone wants to make a joke on us, but at the most serious level, it may be that someone has ulterior motives and is trying to undermine the friendship between the two countries.".net
Hearing these words, Wen Qiurou's face suddenly became serious.
He then heard Nan Muze continue to say: "Therefore, my opinion is that anyone who has entered the palace needs to be tortured to extract a confession. Thinking about it, it is unlikely that they will know nothing. As long as they are punished, they can know more or less. One or two."
Wen Qiurou nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense, then I will do as you say."
It must be said that the Queen's people are very resolute. Not long after, the guards who went down for interrogation ran back with eager expressions.
"Empress, after asking, those few people really knew about it, and they all were killed after the torture!"
Wen Qiurou squinted her eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she was curious, how could someone do it so easily...
Liu Shengsheng glanced at Nan Muze, and both of them remained silent.
The guard said earnestly: "Those people all said the same thing. They all said that His Highness ordered them to put the snake in Her Highness the Princess's bedroom. They also said that they just threw the snake under the bed and didn't do anything. I thought the snake would crawl onto the bed and scare the princess..."
Wen Qiurou's face was gloomy, "Are you sure that's what everyone said?"
The guard nodded, "It's absolutely true, that's what they all said..."
Wen Qiurou gave Liu Shengsheng a serious look, with a hint of questioning in her eyes.
Liu Shengsheng pretended to be surprised, "No way? Why would the second brother do such a thing..."
The guard said seriously
: "A palace maid said that the snake was quietly thrown in by the two father-in-laws. She also said that they only threw a snake in at most and did not find any assassins. She said that the second prince just wanted to scare the princess, and there was no such thing. I thought about hurting Her Highness the Princess."
"You mean, they think Shengsheng directed and acted the assassin thing?"
Wen Qiurou's voice was a little colder.
The guard looked ugly, "That seems to be what he meant..."
"good very good!"
Wen Qiurou frowned, "Drag all those people down and behead them!"
"yes!"
"By the way, go tell the second child and tell him not to come out to see anyone for the next month. Using such childish methods is a waste of all the respect I had for him!"
"yes!"
As the guard retreated, Wen Qiurou looked at Liu Shengsheng with a distressed expression and said, "Shengsheng, don't worry, your second brother is so ignorant, the queen mother will definitely punish him well, and let him be confined for a month first. , have a good quiet time, and then the Queen Mother will drag him to apologize to you!"
After a pause, she added, "If you are still angry, you can catch a few snakes to scare him. You don't have to worry about the queen being angry. The queen is on your side."
I don't know how to explain it, but Liu Shengsheng's mood at the moment is really complicated.
Because she actually began to believe in the queen in front of her.
Not only that, she even felt that this queen was really good to her.
When this idea came to her mind, Liu Shengsheng shook her head quickly, and then looked at Nan Muze blankly.
Nan Muze understood the idea and asked, "It is Shengsheng's blessing that the Queen attaches so much importance to Sheng. Without the Queen's protection, I am afraid that the king and she will really not be able to stay here. Today, thank you Queen for helping Sheng." Sheng seeks justice."
It was rare to hear Nan Muze speak so politely, and Liu Shengsheng's tone became much gentler.
"Mother, thank you."
Wen Qiurou patted the back of Liu Shengsheng's hand, "Silly girl, didn't my mother say that? You are my daughter. There is no need to say thank you. My mother knows that you can't trust anyone easily. This is right, so you Even if you are wary of the queen, the queen will not be angry. On the contrary, you know how to protect yourself correctly, and the queen is quite happy."
After saying that, she looked at Nan Muze gently, "This is your husband, so you should call me your mother, so you don't have to be so unfamiliar..."
Liu Shengsheng smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't seem to cough much today."
Hearing this, Wen Qiurou was stunned for a moment, then touched her throat, "It seems so, it's strange."
Liu Shengsheng's hand inadvertently grabbed her wrist, "Does the Queen often stay in the palace and rarely go out?"
Wen Qiurou looked at Liu Shengsheng in surprise, then looked at her wrist, and said with a pleased look on her face: "People outside are spreading rumors that Shengsheng, you are an unparalleled miracle doctor in the world, and the queen mother is very happy, hahaha, I didn’t expect you to take the pulse of my mother.”
Liu Shengsheng: "..."
When I say this, I feel like I am treating myself as a child.
Then I heard Wen Qiurou say: "My mother is very touched that you have such a heart. However, my mother is not actually ill, but her body is too weak. She is usually prone to colds and colds. When she gets excited, she keeps coughing." , it’s all an old problem, and even the imperial doctors in the palace can’t do anything about it, so don’t worry about your mother.”
