Emperor Kang Yuan on the side saw Concubine Ning staring at Sumu, and asked suspiciously: "What is Concubine Ning looking at, so fascinated?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I am looking at Princess Chen's maid. This little maid is mediocre in appearance, but very smart." Concubine Ning looked at Lu Qingtang with a smile, her tone obviously a little yin and yang.
Emperor Kang Yuan was puzzled, "Oh? How to say it?"
"Let Bingyun speak. After all, Bingyun saw it with his own eyes." Concubine Ning smiled and looked at Bingyun beside her.
Bingyun quickly knelt down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty was confined to Qingquan Palace some time ago and knew nothing about the outside world. After the confinement was lifted, your Majesty asked your servant to go to work outside the palace, and your servant saw Princess Chen with your own eyes. The Sumu girl next to me started flirting with King Xian on the street."
After hearing Bingyun's words, Su Mu, who was hiding behind Lu Qingtang, visibly trembled.
Feeling Su Mu's fear, Lu Qingtang reached out and took her hand from behind, signaling to reassure her.
"Is this happening?" Emperor Kang Yuan looked a little unhappy, "Princess Chen, do you know about this?"
It's a serious crime to seduce a prince, let alone a brother's maid.
Nowadays, the situation in the court is chaotic, and there are quite a lot of disputes over the matter of establishing a prince. It is difficult not to think too much about these things happening at this time.
When Lu Qingtang heard this, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law didn't know about this. I wonder if Miss Bingyun made a mistake."
Her expression was calm and her eyes were confused, not like she was lying.
"Did you see it wrong? So you, Lu Qingtang, admitted that Su Mu had left the palace?" Concubine Ning raised her lips and sneered.
Not to be outdone, Lu Qingtang laughed, "Of course, we have gone out more than once. My daughter-in-law lives in the palace and is worried about King Chen's movements. Now that she is pregnant and inconvenient to move around, she naturally has to use Sumu to convey the message to us. News. I wonder if Miss Bingyun mistook the other person for Su Mu and misunderstood."
As she spoke, she glanced around, focusing on Jiang Mei for a moment, and then looked away again.
Jiang Mei didn't notice Lu Qingtang looking at her, she just watched the fun.
"Your Majesty, I wanted to think it was a misunderstanding, but I didn't expect it to be true." Concubine Ning glared at Lu Qingtang, "Let a despicable maid seduce the wise king, Lu Qingtang, you are so brave!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mu immediately knelt down and said, "No, I'm not here. I really just left the palace to deliver letters to the princess and buy some food. I met the wise prince twice, but I never exceeded it. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Su Mu kowtowed several times.
No matter how calm she was, she was still afraid, and her teeth were chattering as she spoke.
The princess was indeed right, after using herself, she turned around and sold herself.
This mother and son really love each other and are a family!
Mo Ze, who was beside him, saw that Su Mu was so scared, and probably understood the truth of the matter, and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Lu Qingtang.
But after all, they are still husband and wife now. Husband and wife are one body and should naturally share weal and woe.
So Mo Zeshen stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, concubine, the princess is always restless. This son-in-law knows it, but I don't know what evidence the concubine has to prove that Su Mu is not clear with the seventh brother?"
"You want evidence, right?" Concubine Ning waved her hand, "Bingyun, bring it out."
After hearing this, Bingyun immediately took out something from his arms, unfolded it and saw that it was a used handkerchief.
Lu Qingtang glanced at the handkerchief, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Mei in the corner.
She was far away and had no idea what the situation was, let alone the impending danger.
After looking at Jiang Mei, Lu Qingtang looked at Su Mu again. Su Mu felt relieved and gave her a shallow smile.
But I heard Bingyun say to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, this is the veil that Su Mu gave to the wise king. It is said to be a token of love. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Emperor Kang Yuan glanced at the veil, then looked at Su Mu, and said, "Su Mu, is this your veil?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know who this belongs to. I have never had such a veil before." Su Mu shook his head and kowtowed again.
This veil is not hers, so she doesn't have to admit it.
After hearing this, Concubine Ning immediately retorted, "You are so brave, you are a slut, here are the witnesses and physical evidence, and you still don't admit it!"
"Your Majesty, if it's Su Mu's, it's Su Mu's. Even if she doesn't admit it, won't others in Longqing Palace still recognize it?" Lu Qingtang saluted, "Besides, this is an old handkerchief. At first glance, it's Japanese. For daily use, you can recognize it if you have seen it before.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Fei Yu Colored Ibis appeared not far away.
Isn't this Jiang Mei's veil?
Concubine Ning, who was still arrogant just now, heard the whispered conversation between the two of them, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Have you fallen into Lu Qingtang's trap again?
how so!
But she understood one thing. Lu Qingtang already knew that Jiang Mei was their spy and did this on purpose.
However, Jiang Mei, who knew nothing about it, was still waiting to watch the excitement, completely unaware that she was already behind bars.
Su Mu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but cheer for Lu Qingtang in his heart when he saw this situation.
The princess had the foresight to steal Jiang Mei's handkerchief and give it to Mo Zeqing.
In fact, it is not considered stealing. To be precise, it is "exchanging".
After all, she spent several days embroidering that new veil, how could she give it away for free?
At this time, Emperor Kang Yuan ordered someone to pass the veil over to the palace attendants of Longqing Palace for identification.
Not only Cai Ibis Feiyu, but also the other young eunuchs recognized it as Jiang Mei's veil.
When the eunuch beside His Majesty dragged Jiang Mei out of the crowd, Jiang Mei still looked confused and completely at a loss.
How did she know that her veil was in the hands of the wise king? She thought it was lost.
But no matter how she explained, no one believed her.
Even for further confirmation, Emperor Kang Yuan also checked the records of entering and exiting the palace, and found that Jiang Mei had indeed left the palace during this period.
This is where he left the palace to report to Mo Zeqing.
When she couldn't get away, the young eunuch helped deliver the news. When she had time, she went to Xian Wang's villa to report the news, which turned out to be evidence that she had seduced Xian Wang.
Jiang Mei couldn't argue. In order to prevent her from biting anyone else, Emperor Kang Yuan ordered her to be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this was Concubine Ning's fault.
But now, her son was present and had just made a meritorious service. Emperor Kang Yuan could not let her down like this.
"Concubine Ning, this matter has been found out, don't mention it again in the future." Emperor Kang Yuan said to Concubine Ning with a cold face.
Concubine Ning immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I misunderstood Princess Chen. Since it was Jiang Mei who did it, let Jiang Mei bear the consequences."
Concubine Ning felt much more at ease now.
This time, I couldn't be exposed in public like last time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come out after being banned again.
She also understood that Emperor Kang Yuan was giving her a step down, so she went down the slope.
But next time, she really wouldn't dare to attack Lu Qingtang easily.
This ugly guy is really very scheming.
With this thought in her mind, Concubine Ning glared at Lu Qingtang fiercely.
