"Bold!" the emperor said angrily, "Chu Qing, are you kidding me?"
Chu Qing smiled and closed the box, and then said: "How dare I, sir? It's just..." Chu Qing paused, looked at the emperor with deep meaning, and said: "Isn't this the box that your Majesty gave to the Gong family, which is also a national treasure?"
The emperor looked at Chu Qing with cold eyes and said, "What do you mean? Tell me clearly."
Chu Qing looked at him in silence. The two looked at each other, both trying to see something in the other's eyes, but they couldn't see anything.
Poria on the side looked at the two people strangely. She didn't see anything in the box just now. She didn't know why the emperor was so angry after seeing it, and she didn't know the meaning of their words.
Although the people from the aristocratic family didn't understand what the two were talking about, this was a good opportunity for them.
"Your Majesty, since the three-day period has come and the head of the Gong family has not been found out, according to the previous agreement, the head of the Gong family should die to apologize."
Chu Qing looked at the family members and said with a smile: "In such a hurry, Your Majesty and I haven't finished talking yet."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and waved his hand: "That's right. The three-day period has come, but the head of the Gong family has not recovered the national treasure. According to the agreement, Poria, what else do you have to say?"
Fu Ling frowned slightly and said, "I have nothing to say. I just ask that your Majesty convict Fu Ling and that the Gong family be treated leniently." Fu Ling knew that it was impossible to get the emperor to let the Gong family go, so she could only ask her to be lenient. Frustrated.
"Poria."
Chu Qing looked at Fuling with an ugly face. Although he knew that this matter was the emperor's plan, he had no evidence. Even if he had more evidence, he had no choice but to find a way to get the emperor to withdraw the deal.
Fu Ling smiled at Chu Qing and shook her head, then turned to look at the emperor and said: "The matter has come to this, I have nothing to say. I just hope that your majesty will let the Gong family go."
A sly smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then he said: "Here, put the head of the Gong family in prison and deal with it later."
Chu Qing watched Poria cocos being taken away, looked at the emperor unwillingly, and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice. This matter is not trivial. You must not wrongly accuse a loyal minister selfishly."
"Bold!" The family member said sternly, "Chu Qing, you dare to speak so disrespectfully to His Majesty, are you risking your life?"
Chu Qing ignored the family members, but looked at the emperor and said, "I dare to say a few words. Your Majesty knows exactly what happened when the national treasure was lost. If you want the country to be healthy and peaceful, your Majesty must consider it carefully."
"Are you threatening me?!" the emperor yelled.
Chu Qing bent down slightly and said, "I don't dare."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good."
There was a sudden sound from the side, and everyone turned to look. A eunuch was trotting over with a panicked look on his face.
"What happened?"
The little eunuch bent over and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is suddenly seriously ill. The doctor said... Your Majesty, please go and have a look."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked forward quickly. Chu Qing frowned and followed.
When he arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, the emperor hurried in. Chu Qing and a group of people were waiting outside.
"How is the Queen Mother?"
The imperial doctor shook his head in horror and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother... is critically ill, and there is nothing we can do about it."
The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, and then he said angrily: "What do you do for food? If you can't cure such a minor illness, what use do I need you for?"
The imperial doctor who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Now there is a way to save the Queen Mother."
The emperor quickly asked: "What can we do?"
"Tianshan snow lotus."
The emperor was slightly startled, Tianshan Snow Lotus
"Your Majesty, only the Tianshan Snow Lotus can save the Queen Mother right now, but this Tianshan Snow Lotus is extremely precious, and picking it..."
"I understand." The emperor interrupted the imperial doctor, then turned and walked out.
Didn't Chu Qing want to save Fuling's life? Then let him exchange it for Tianshan Snow Lotus.
