When Wu Zechen heard what the queen said, his expression suddenly turned cold, and the oppressive aura suddenly spread. The queen, who was facing this aura, was even more frightened, and she felt as if it was becoming more difficult to breathe. !
How could Prince An be so terrifying? ! Sure enough, we can't keep him, we must get rid of him!
At this time, the queen and the prince only had one thought in their minds. Even the emperor on the side also had this thought, with a hint of vague fear flashing in his heart.
"When the queen said these words, was there evidence? Since there is no evidence, saying such words is also slander. How is it different from this palace lady?" Wu Zechen's cold voice was like being wrapped in ice, which made people just listen. I felt a chill in my heart.
"But the queen has no evidence, but I have evidence." He looked directly at the queen with cold eyes and said without mercy, "I always pay attention to solid evidence when speaking and doing things, unlike the queen who only relies on one mouth and guess."
"you--"
The queen was furious. She obviously didn't expect that Prince An would be so disrespectful to her and say such words in front of so many people, which seriously damaged her dignity!
Not only her, but the emperor on the side also looked bad. After all, she was his queen. Ridiculing the queen like this made the queen lose face, and it also made him lose face! What's more, Prince An's words undoubtedly have hidden meanings for him!
Wu Zechen didn't care what the two of them thought, and immediately ordered outside: "Come here! Bring that person in!"
The queen was interrupted before her words could be spoken, with a particularly ugly look on her face. However, before she could say anything else, she saw Wu Zechen's personal bodyguard Lian Ye coming in from outside the side hall, followed by a palace maid, dressed in traditional attire and next to a soft couch. The maids were exactly the same, obviously belonging to the same palace.
The queen frowned. For some reason, she felt a little bad in her heart. She looked at the emperor and saw the same look in the other's eyes.
The palace maid immediately knelt down as soon as she entered the room. After greeting each one, she said, "My slave An Xin, I have something to report to the emperor and the empress. It's about Cui Ru."
As if remembering that the adults present might not know who she was talking about, she raised her hand and pointed forward. It was the disheveled palace maid next to the soft couch!
"She is Cui Ru, and she works with the slaves. We eat and live together on weekdays." Xu was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so she added, "The names of the two slaves are recorded on the roster. , the steward has records there, the emperor can send someone to check, this slave will definitely not tell any lies!"
At this time, the emperor looked at An Xin with an evil expression, not caring about what she said. He only knew that An Xin's appearance probably meant that today's plan would fail!
After all, this An Xin is the person who was found by Prince An! He didn't believe that Prince An would specially find someone who was unfavorable to him to undermine him!
The emperor remained silent, but Wu Zechen said: "Tell me everything you know."
After receiving Wu Zechen's instructions, An Xin carefully glanced at the emperor and saw that although the emperor's face was ugly, he did not stop him, so he told what he knew about the situation.
"My servant noticed that Cui Ru's behavior these days is a bit suspicious. She often takes the right cards out of the palace, and every time she comes back, she seems to be in a good mood. Not only that, she also has a lot of valuables on her body. It's not like us at all. The slaves can afford it." An Xin said her discovery carefully.
Cui Ru on the other side was trembling with fear, her face was full of fear, and her eyes looking at An Xin were full of resentment.
If she could, she would definitely rush forward to stop An Xin from continuing to speak, but she couldn't, so she could only watch An Xin's mouth open and close, saying all the things she was most worried about.
"My slave once asked Cui Ru where she got all her money, but she refused to say anything. I was curious and followed her when she left the palace one time." An Xin didn't care about Cui Ru at all. Looking over there, he was just talking about his findings.
Cui Ru was shocked when she heard An Xin say that she was following her out of the palace. Could it be that An Xin discovered her collecting money to do things?
However, what Cuiru didn't expect was that what An Xin said next made her look in disbelief.
"My servant discovered that Cui Ru was having a private meeting with Mr. Yang! All her valuables were bought for her by Mr. Yang, and she secretly did that with Mr. Yang!" An Xin said, looking at Cui Rushi, There was a look of disgust on his face.
"You're talking nonsense! It's nothing! I didn't know this young master before today! Why did you frame me?!" Cui Ru stared at An Xin with red eyes, full of anger.
Seeing this, the Queen on the side quickly said: "The servants in the palace are not allowed to make a private life-long decision with others. Everyone knows this. Cui Ru must also know this, so how could she make such a mistake? An Xin, please don’t slander and frame Yu Cuiru, otherwise I will not let you off lightly!"
"My slave has evidence!" An Xin glanced at the queen timidly, with a look of fear on her face, but she still mustered up the courage to say.
Is there evidence?
Everyone was shocked. How long had this happened? The palace maid named An Xin actually has evidence in her hands. Doesn't that mean that this evidence is most likely to be true?
Everyone looked at An Xin and saw that the latter took out something from his arms, but it was a jade pendant of high quality!
Such a jade pendant is definitely not something that lower-class palace maids like the two of them can possess. Sure enough...
"This jade pendant was given to Cuiru by Young Master Yang. I saw it with my own eyes. During a private meeting between the two of them, Young Master Yang personally handed it to Cuiru!" An Xin said anxiously, as if she was afraid of the crowd. Don't believe in yourself.
Everyone looked at the jade pendant with different expressions, and the one with the most obvious reaction was Yang Hongan. He looked at the jade pendant in disbelief. Wasn't this jade pendant the object he had lost a few days ago? ! For this matter, he was severely punished by his parents!
Because this jade pendant has his name engraved on it!
What he didn't expect was that this jade pendant would appear here, in the hands of a person who absolutely shouldn't be there!
It was obviously impossible for the palace maid named An Xin to pick up this jade pendant of hers. She had not been to the palace for a long time! After contacting the person who brought this palace maid here, he already had a guess in his mind——
It’s Prince An!
