Chapter 493: Tiger poison does not eat its seeds
"Concubine Li, who did this?"
Princess Huai'an roared angrily.
The second prince's concubine and Sun's concubine trembled in unison.
The second prince hurriedly stood up and talked to Xi Ni, "The emperor's grandmother, aunt, Concubine Li and Jing'er were like this because they fell into the dry pond. They were all accidents."
The Queen Mother stared at Murong Xu, "Second brother, do you think the Ai family is blind? The Ai family can clearly tell the difference between injuries caused by falls and injuries! Aunt Gui, please ask Concubine Li and her daughter to go to the side hall to announce the imperial doctor."
"Royal grandmother!" The second prince was anxious.
The Queen Mother slammed the table angrily, "Murong Xu! Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds! Tell the Ai family honestly where Jing'er's injuries came from!"
"Royal Grandma, Jing'er was indeed injured by a fall. She is celebrating the Chinese New Year. Her grandson has already asked the imperial doctor to give her medicine, so there is no need to declare the imperial doctor to her!" Murong Xu knelt there and kowtowed hard.
The more he behaved like this, the angrier the Queen Mother became, so she kowtowed to him without letting go.
Everyone was surprised.
Zhao Wanyi was so distressed that she wiped away tears and quickly knelt down to stop Murong Xu, kowtowing together, "Your Majesty, it's all your granddaughter-in-law's fault and has nothing to do with the Second Highness. Please punish me!"
"Young lady, you beat Li and Jing'er like that?" The Queen Mother's angry eyes were full of shock and disappointment.
Zhao Wanyi hurriedly defended with tears in her eyes, "It was Concubine Li who instigated Jing'er to tamper with grandson's daughter-in-law's decoction. She was caught by granddaughter-in-law, and she was so angry that she had her mother and daughter beaten. Both of them were grandsons." It’s my wife’s fault!”
The Queen Mother became more and more angry and slammed the table hard, "Come here, bring Concubine Li and her daughter! Today, the Ai family must find out about this matter!"
Concubine Li and Murong Jing entered the hall again. Seeing everyone staring at them, they hurriedly knelt down.
The Queen Mother asked coldly: "Concubine Li, the second prince's concubine accused you of instigating your daughter to add medicine to her soup. Is this true?"
"You are wronged, Queen Mother! You are wronged!" Concubine Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
The second prince angrily reprimanded, "The evidence is solid, but you still quibble?"
Concubine Li shook her head vigorously with tears in her eyes, "The Queen Mother Mingjian, I still don't know why the Second Highness and the Crown Princess insist that I instigated the child to drug the child. That day Jing'er was beaten half dead and was sent back. I collapsed at that time. Before I could go to see His Highness and the Crown Princess, the housekeeper came over with a group of guards and imprisoned us mother and daughter in the courtyard, leaving us to perish on our own
Jing'er almost couldn't survive. Fortunately, some of the medicine she prepared for Jing'er was still left. These days, we, mother and daughter, have been gritting our teeth and holding on. Please give me advice from the Queen Mother! ”
The Queen Mother held Nanny Gui's hand tremblingly, staggered to Murong Jing, lifted her arm, and when she saw the shocking wound, her chest was instantly filled with anger, and she turned around and slapped Murong Xu hard.
Zhao Wanyi turned pale with fright and was about to speak.
The Queen Mother suddenly and coldly ordered, "Someone, take away the second prince, the second prince's concubine, Concubine Li, and Miss Jing, and interrogate them separately!"
"Grandma Huang! Grandma Huang! My grandson knows he was wrong! Grandma Huang, please forgive my grandson once!" Murong Xu was dragged off by the guards in a panic.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
The Queen Mother expressionlessly asked people to invite the emperor and empress.
Princess Huai'an quickly took the lead in resigning.
After the group left the Queen Mother's Palace, they kept looking back and whispering to each other.
Murong Chen and Shen Tian took their children, looked at each other, and whispered: "I'm afraid this palace banquet will end hastily. You take the children back first, and I'll stay to explain."
Shen Diantian nodded and immediately followed the steps of Princess Huai'an. "Aunt, are you coming together?"
The eldest princess of Huai'an held her arm solemnly and asked in a low voice: "Want to leave the palace?"
"Yes, His Highness asked me to take the child back first. Aunt, do you know what happened?" Shen Tian asked in a low voice.
The eldest princess of Huai'an looked into her curious and frightened eyes and reminded: "Don't ask, it's not a good thing. The second brother has become more and more outrageous in recent years, even his own daughter can be beaten like that!"
"The second prince beat him? Wasn't he the second sister-in-law?" Shen Tian deliberately pretended to be stupid.
The eldest princess of Huai'an sighed and shook her head, "You are too naive! It was really the second prince's concubine who beat him, how could he react like that? No matter what, she is his daughter, and he will not cover up for the second prince's concubine! Hey! Don't mention it, it's too bad ! ”
The eldest princess of Huai'an hurriedly took Shen Tian out of the palace, and happened to run into Princess Qingfeng who had just entered the palace.
Princess Qingfeng hurriedly saluted and nodded to Shen Diandian politely and distantly.
"The eldest princess and Concubine Shen are leaving the palace? Isn't it still early?"
The eldest princess of Huai'an showed a majestic smile and replied calmly: "If you don't want to stay, just go back. Princess, please do so."
Shen Tian obediently followed Princess Huai'an without saying a word.

Princess Qingfeng watched them go away with an expressionless face, "Hongqin, let's go! First, go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother."
As soon as the master and servant arrived outside the Queen Mother's Palace, they were stopped by Aunt Gui standing at the door.
"Princess, the Queen Mother is missing, please come back!"
Princess Qingfeng's expression changed slightly, she glanced at the main hall, then turned around and left obediently.
His face was solemn.
Inside the palace.
The Queen Mother choked angrily, beating her chest and shaking her head, "I used to be the second child who didn't know how to restrain herself when it came to women, but the rest was pretty good. But today I found out that he is so vicious! Emperor and Empress, look at Jing. Go! ”
Murong Jing had just finished taking medicine and was carried in on a stretcher.
The queen hurriedly stepped forward and accidentally touched Murong Jing's arm.
Murong Jing was so painful that she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to say a word.
The empress came closer and took a closer look at Murong Jing's injuries, and their faces changed.
The queen just felt like the world was spinning, "Mother, are you saying that the second son made his daughter like this?"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and nodded heavily, "The Ai family has just carefully interrogated Girl Jing. She didn't do anything at all? She didn't drug anyone in the second family either. These are all excuses to frame Girl Jing. Concubine Li was implicated by Girl Jing." , was beaten together, but not that seriously.”
The emperor was stunned. He immediately knelt down and looked at the child, "Jing'er, tell the emperor why your father beat you? Don't worry, with the emperor here, no one can do anything to you!"
Murong Jing shrank in fear, her eyes full of confusion, "Jing'er didn't do anything, and I don't know why dad hit me. Grandfather, does dad not love Jing'er anymore?"
When the three adults heard this, they all felt uncomfortable.
The emperor was an emperor after all, and he quickly regained his composure and continued to ask: "Then think carefully, did you do anything to make your father angry during this period, or did you see something or someone you shouldn't have seen? Or maybe I went somewhere I shouldn’t have gone.”
Murong Jing replied honestly: "Jing'er used to play in the garden of the mansion, but my mother and concubine were not allowed to go elsewhere. Later, when my sister returned to the mansion, I secretly visited her a few times, but Aunt Cen wouldn't let Jing'er play with her sister. Jing'er can only watch secretly."
