When the Queen Mother heard the Queen's concerned inquiry, she turned her face inward, covering her chest with sadness:
"Let's go! Your Majesty, please let her... let her go. I don't want to see anyone in the Duke's mansion."
The queen who was bending over the bed, her face froze, turned to a look of concern, and was about to say something, but the queen mother turned her whole body inward, and couldn't stop screaming in pain.
The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "My mother is in mourning. I don't want to see you at the moment. Please go and wait outside."
The queen was humiliated, and after looking at each other with the prince, she had no choice but to bow and leave. She went outside with a cold face, took Uncle Qin and his son to a deserted corner, and asked in a low voice:
"What on earth did you discuss at Yue's house last night?"
Uncle Qin Guo looked anxious: "Last night, I took Zong Liang and Zong Heng to the Yue family. I kept a low profile and apologized without any disrespect. When I left the house, Mr. Yue was still fine."
Qin Zongliang was still calm: "Aunt, everything my father said is true. Now that I think about it, what happened yesterday was just a series. First, a woman appeared out of nowhere and caused a big wedding banquet. We went to apologize, and the Yue family came back. Something happened."
Queen Feng's eyes widened: "You mean someone is using the Yue family as a tactic to deal with the Duke's mansion? Who is that?"
Uncle Qin frowned and shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I'm afraid I'm going for the prince and you."
The queen felt her head hurt a lot again. She took a deep breath to suppress her thoughts and said:
"If it's for the prince, it's either the third or the second child! Who else was there when you were talking?"
Uncle Qin: "Yue Hengjin is here too."
Cuiwei Palace.
Concubine Rou: "Yue Hengjin is also present. Your Majesty will be able to find out if you just ask."
Chu Chengyao smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, even though he is present, he will not tell the truth."
Concubine Rou asked puzzledly: "Why not?"
"My daughter was wronged in the Duke's Mansion, and her father died inexplicably after people from the Duke's Mansion came to the door. Even that night, the Duke's Mansion had already apologized for the wedding and got the Yue family's understanding. But Mr. Yue Sudden death is another matter."
Seeing Concubine Rou thinking deeply and saying nothing, Chu Chengyao said again:
"What's more, in the officialdom of the Yue family, except for General Yue who is far away in Binzhou, there are no amazing juniors to support the family. It can be said that the glory of the Yue family is entirely supported by the imperial grandmother. If Yue Hengjin even sacrifices his own father's life, he can understand , how can we still gain a foothold in this capital in the future? The imperial grandmother is already old, and this matter can just give the Yue family some prestige."
Concubine Rou's brows gradually relaxed as she spoke. She rubbed the jade-faced raccoon in her arms, and a smile spread from the corner of her mouth:
"So, the Duke's Mansion must swallow this loss."
Longevity Palace.
Qin Zongliang: "Aunt, I'm afraid Yue Hengjin won't tell the truth. The Queen Mother is your Majesty's biological mother. If we refute and verify the evidence, the Queen Mother's condition will worsen and she will fall into the hands of the person who set up the trap. I am afraid that this mute will have to be recognized by the government. Yes, you and His Highness must also be prepared."
After the queen mother took medicine and fell asleep, the emperor took people from the Duke's Mansion and the Yue family to the imperial study.
Uncle Guo told the truth about that night and said that he had done nothing wrong.
Yue Hengjin was silent for a moment: "Wei Chen was feeling unwell last night. He only stayed with Uncle Guo and the two young masters from Guogongfu. After sitting for a while, he went to the study to take medicine. When he came out again, Uncle Guo and the other three had already left the hall. Wei Chen sent the person away, and when he returned... my father had already collapsed in the hall..."
