After returning from Duke Huai's residence, the fifth princess did not go back to the Princess's residence, but went to Zhongcui Palace.
Since she was confined, she found that the queen mother didn't like her, and the emperor hated her, but fortunately, the queen was still willing to see her.
Therefore, the fifth princess would often go to Zhongcui Palace to talk with the queen for a while when she was free, to make her happy, and if she got any valuables, she would also send them to Zhongcui Palace.
Her son-in-law is gone, and the child is so young, she needs to find someone to rely on.
The queen sat on the throne dignifiedly, and when she saw her coming, she smiled gracefully: "Why, this banquet is over so soon?"
The fifth princess sat down at the side, took the tea brought by the mother, and took a breath: "Not yet, I just want to come and see the empress."
The queen looked at her lovingly, her eyes slightly raised: "What a sensible child."
When the queen was not smiling, she had a gloomy and chilly air about her. Seeing her smile, the fifth princess was in a particularly good mood, so she cheered up and talked to the queen.
The topic later turned to the banquet, and the queen asked casually: "Have you watched those three children? Are they all okay?"
The fifth princess looked up at the queen's well-maintained face, and considered how to answer to make her happy.
After getting along for this period of time, the fifth princess faintly felt that the queen had some hostility towards Su Ying, but she couldn't tell where this hostility came from.
All she knew was that if she made fun of Su Ying in front of the queen, the queen wouldn't mind at all.
However, she couldn't say what the queen's attitude towards Su Ying's child was. She might not hate it, but she didn't particularly like it either.
The fifth princess thought about it for a while, but still felt that she was telling the truth: "The three children are very healthy and cute. The fourth child even peed on my face earlier."
Curiosity flashed in the queen's eyes: "Oh? What's going on?"
The fifth princess smiled, as if she didn't care at all: "The child is not good-looking at such a young age. I just said something casually. I didn't expect this child to have a grudge."
The queen smiled lightly and nodded slightly: "This child's temperament is like her mother's."
"Isn't it?" The fifth princess also smiled, her eyes were a little colder, "If the second emperor brother didn't like her and dote on her, I'm afraid it would be difficult for her temperament to adapt to the royal family."
The fifth princess was talking when she suddenly saw someone coming in from outside. She took a closer look and found that this person was Hu Momo who was beside the Queen Mother.
Mother Hu stepped forward and saluted the queen respectfully, then turned to the fifth princess and said, "Fifth princess, the queen mother asks you to go there."
Seeing that Madam Hu's expression was not good, the fifth princess even looked at her with a touch of disdain.
Her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly surged through her, and she asked, "Nurse Hu, has the imperial grandmother returned?"
Hu Nanny replied: "No, the Empress Dowager is still in Prince Huai's Mansion."
The fifth princess paused, and asked again: "But what happened?"
Mother Hu only felt that the fifth princess was putting on a show, and her disdain for the fifth princess in her heart added to her disdain. She said slowly: "The fourth young master's nanny died of poisoning."
The fifth princess was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Is there something wrong with that child?"
Mother Hu thought that this was what the fifth princess was worried about, and she sneered: "Thanks to God's blessing, the fourth young master has escaped the worries of life."
The queen also seemed to be relieved, she put her hands on her chest and said, "That's good."
The fifth princess finally came to her senses at this time, her watery eyes widened suddenly: "Mother Hu, what do you mean, do you believe that the poison was given by this princess?"
Hu Nanny lowered her head: "This old servant never said such a thing."
"You!" The fifth princess understood at a glance. She clenched her hands into fists and said through gritted teeth, "Her own child was poisoned, so why should she place the blame on this princess?"
"If the fifth princess wants to explain, she can explain it to the Queen Mother."
"I won't go, I won't go!" The fifth princess shook her head vigorously, she was a dignified princess, she had never done such a thing, why should this crime be placed on her.
"If the fifth princess didn't do this, the queen mother will return your innocence." Seeing that the fifth princess didn't cooperate, Madam Hu said, "The old slave took the princess away at the order of the queen mother. If the princess doesn't cooperate, then..."
When the fifth princess saw four or five guards walking towards her behind Madam Hu, her eyes suddenly turned fierce like ice blades. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you?!"
If it was Mother Hu, of course she wouldn't dare, but this is the Queen Mother's will.
The fifth princess is very regretful at this time, if time can start again, she will definitely not take half a step into Duke Huai's mansion.
Who knew that such a thing would happen, and he was even framed on his own head.
Although Madam Hu didn't say clearly that she did the poison herself, her eyes already thought so. The fifth princess was furious: "You don't have enough evidence, how can you slander at will!"
Hu Nanny's face was serious, and she looked very serious: "Let's talk about all this after the princess sees the mother."
The fifth princess looked towards the gate of the palace again, and saw that her personal maid had been tied up by the guards.
She saw Hu Nanny's indifferent expression again, and her heart was pounding. Could there really be so-called evidence? Her motive for harming others seems to be enough... What if there is no way to explain it
The guards forcibly took away the fifth princess, but the fifth princess resisted stubbornly. She became more and more panicked, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "This princess has not harmed anyone, so why arrest him?"
Seeing the commotion here getting louder and louder, the queen couldn't help shouting angrily: "Presumptuous!"
When the guards heard the Queen's scolding, they couldn't help but slow down their movements.
The fifth princess took the opportunity to break free.
The queen's eyes swept over them, her eyes were cold.
Madam Hu bent down towards the queen in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "The empress, this old slave is also following orders, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the empress."
The fifth princess was tugging with the guards earlier, her dress was crumpled, her bun was untied, she kept panting, she looked a little embarrassed.
She knelt down beside the queen and hugged the queen's thigh tightly: "Empress, please make the decision for me. I haven't done it, I really haven't done it."
"This..." After all, it was the queen mother's order. Even if the queen wanted to keep Ye Rao, she was still a little embarrassed at the moment.
The fifth princess begged bitterly: "Empress, someone slandered me, someone wanted to kill me, you must make the decision for me."
The tears in the eyes of the fifth princess were like pearls with broken strings, they couldn't stop falling, crying so hard that people's hearts softened.
The queen thought for a moment, then slowly said: "If you really haven't done it, you won't be slandered. It just so happens that I want to go and see that child, why don't I go with you too."
