Chapter 277: Putting the blame on others
Cao Ruomi was very confused. She was really motionless, and Guanyin was shattered in her hands.
Above the main hall, people were panicking as they exchanged glances.
“It’s so good, why is the Guanyin statue broken?”
“There is no reason for this sign, I’m afraid it’s ominous!”
"Yes, Da Qi worships the Buddha. Is it because the queen's moral conduct has fallen short and she is punishing her?"
There were different opinions at the time.
Gao Qian stood up abruptly, his eyes as cold as knives. Everyone knelt down in silence, not daring to make another sound.
Liang Huan was no exception. She was stunned for a moment, frowned and knelt down.
The noisy hall suddenly became quiet, as silent as a tomb.
Cao Ruomi had his hands empty, and stood stiffly with his head lowered, staring blankly at the broken jade on the ground, his mind went blank.
Gao Qian looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice: "Queen."
Cao Ruomi's hands and feet were cold, and he looked up numbly, his lips murmuring: "Your Majesty..."< br>
She is the queen of a country. Today's ominous sign is obvious to everyone. Once spread, it will be known to the whole world.
Public opinion makes gold, but accumulation destroys bones.
If he is branded with an ominous mark, his position as the queen and Yanger's crown prince will not be guaranteed!
The birthday banquet was held with so much effort and fanfare, but it turned out that he had dug a trap and was waiting for her here.
The thoughts are not evil!
Full of anger burned her internal organs, but the anger and grievance made the corners of her eyes red.
No, the Guanyin statue must have been tampered with. It needs to be investigated!
Cao Ruomi came back to his senses, his face was filled with shame, and he knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this concubine——"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and someone in the palace straightened up, The tone was firm.
"Your Majesty! There must be a misunderstanding here! Please investigate this matter thoroughly!"
It's Zhou Yun.
There is no usual joking and narrow-mindedness, but a rare seriousness.
Liang Huan didn't even raise his eyelids, it was expected that Zhou Yun would speak out to protect him.
"Your Majesty, this is definitely none of my sister's business." Seeing this, Cao Danqing also raised his head and looked over, his voice trembling slightly because of his nervousness.
Gao Qian looked gloomy and remained silent.
The prince is only seven years old and still has a childish streak. He has never been in such a situation and was frightened when he saw it.
Hearing what Zhou Taiwei said, his voice was clear:
"Father, someone must be deliberately trying to frame the Queen Mother."
Liang Han raised his eyelashes slightly and saw a pair of eyes that could spit out fire.
"It's her, this Guanyin statue was given to her! She must have tampered with it!"
Gao Yang raised his face, straightened his body, and pointed angrily.
Cao Ruomi looked at Gao Yang's young and tender face, and his heart was as sharp as a knife. He pulled him into his arms and scolded him in a low voice: "You can't say that without any evidence. Concubine Shu is also a piece of cake." Good intentions.”
The Queen Mother signaled to the nanny beside her: "Why don't you send His Royal Highness back to the East Palace quickly?"
The nanny led the palace people forward.
Gao Yang held Cao Ruomi tightly with his small hands, his eyes firm: "No, Imperial Grandmother, Yang'er won't leave, Yang'er will stay, Yang'er will stay with the queen mother!"< br>
The Queen Mother sighed slightly and said kind words: "The Prince will go back to the East Palace first. The Imperial Grandmother is here, so you can go without worries."
After that, she gave her a look.
Grandma had no choice but to squat down, soften her attitude, and half pull and half persuade.
Gao Yang pushed him away hard, turned to face Gao Qian, and begged with choked eyes: "Father, I want to stay here to accompany my mother!"
Cao Ruomi's eyes Her eyelashes were moist, and she held the little hand wrapped around her, her voice a little hoarse, pretending to be strong.
"The queen is fine."
Gao Qian frowned: "Take the prince back——"
"Your Majesty," Liang Huan picked up a piece of broken jade, looked at it carefully, and slowly raised his head, "it's better to have someone check it. Don't wrong the queen, and don't wrong the concubine."
The unhurried tone revealed a bit of innocence. "If such a good day is ruined because of the congratulatory gifts I sent, I will not be able to escape the blame even if I die."
The voice is clean and very touching to the ears. sincere.
This bumbling bitch!
Cao Ruomi couldn't help but exert strength on his hands, holding back his anger and looking sideways, feeling more and more hateful in his heart.
"Mother?"
Gao Yang felt pain and called out softly.
As soon as Cao Ruomi lowered his head, he saw that the thin skin and white flesh in his hand had red marks, and he quickly let go.
As soon as Liang Huan finished speaking, Zhou Yun and Cao Danqing also said they would conduct a thorough investigation.
Gao Qian's eyes were cold, and he slowly glanced around the hall. A few people responded, all of whom had close relationships with the Cao family and the Zhou family in the past.
Liang Huan glanced at him calmly and took it to heart.
Seeing that her grandma could not persuade the prince, the Queen Mother had no choice but to go and coax him personally.
Cao Ruomi whispered a few words of comfort, and the prince stopped being stubborn and stepped aside very sensibly.
This scene seems to be about parting between life and death, which is unbearable.
Liang Huan looked at it coldly, but felt nothing.
Cao Ruomi pursed his lips and knelt upright. His eyes moved lightly, with tears in his eyes, passing over the faces of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, if it is really because I brought this ominous omen, I am willing to die to apologize, so as not to bring disaster to Daqi."
The queen has always been elegant and dignified. The words were all spoken in a soft voice, but at this moment, under the gentle and gentle appearance, there was a bit of iron and steel.
As soon as these words came out, people started talking secretly.
Gao Qian had no expression on his face and looked at the Queen Mother: "What does the Queen Mother mean?"
The Queen Mother hugged the Prince to comfort him, and raised her head after hearing the sound: "Check it."
Gao Qian slightly Nodding, he glanced at Zhou Yun, who was kneeling in the front, and pointed at another person next to him and said: "In that case, come closer to check, so as not to wrongly accuse the lonely queen and concubine Shu."
" Yes."
The two stood up and stepped forward, while the others couldn't help but look at them curiously.
The sudden shattering of the Guanyin statue is really unheard of. Is it a punishment from heaven to warn the queen of her unkindness, or is it a deliberate frame-up and a deliberate design by Concubine Shu?
There is a little expectation hidden in my heart.
Gao Qian glanced lightly and said: "Everyone, get up. I really want to know what is going on."
After receiving the emperor's order, everyone sat down again, He stared at the two people who came forward to inspect the jade with wide eyes.
Zhou Yun bent down and picked up a few pieces, checking them repeatedly. As time passed, his brows became more and more wrinkled. The cracks were natural and there was no trace of gluing at all.
The guess just now was also overturned.
Zhou Yun raised his head again and looked at each other with the person who was looking at him. Neither of them saw any clues. Is it really God's will?
Seeing that there was no sound between the two of them, the Queen Mother let go of the Prince and ordered the palace servants to pick up a few pieces.
After taking a closer look, he said in a deep voice: "It's not sticky, it actually split by itself..."
The hall was buzzing with discussion again. Is it true that the Queen is going to die? Apologize?
Cao Ruomi's lips turned white and his face looked extremely ugly.
Liang Huan suddenly stood up and pointed firmly at the silent man beside him, his voice cold.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Queen. It must be Cui Haoji who hates the punishment I have given him so often. He took advantage of others' unpreparedness and deliberately caused trouble, hoping to make me bear the crime of framing the Queen!"
Cui Hao knelt down in fear, his face turned earth-colored.
The discussion in the palace stopped abruptly.
Liang Huan stepped forward, turned his back to everyone, and lowered his voice.
"Your Majesty, in public, this matter must be explained in order to stop Youyou from talking. This gift was given by my concubine, and the things were given by Cui Hao. Even if he has to die to apologize, She is also a concubine, or Cui Hao. The queen is the mother of a country and must not be related to this matter."
The people in the palace could not hear it, but the Queen Mother Zhou Yun and others heard it clearly. He clearly wanted to find a scapegoat to calm public opinion.
At first glance, it sounds very inappropriate, but when you think about it carefully, it is not a solution.
Gao Qian nodded and pointed.
I've been on the road these days, and the time is uncertain. I'm sorry, but I'll be back to normal in a few days~
