Xue Chang's guess was correct. Qiu Yilan was indeed in full venomous mode at this moment. In front of Queen Mother Gu, Queen Jiang and others, she scolded Kuang Qingwu until he was as good as a pig or a dog. At this time, Kuang Qingwu had already arrived. Although he had expected the day when the incident would be exposed since he deliberately seduced Qiu Jinzhu, he never expected that Qiu Yilan was so eloquent. He wanted to interrupt several times, but failed to find an entry point, and his face turned pale and red. It was extremely embarrassing.
Finally, Qiu Yilan came to the end: "... please two ladies to make the decision for my cousin! Kill this bastard and clear the world!"
Before Kuang Qingwu answered, Qiu Jinzhu, who was disappointed, exclaimed first!
This pig teammate!
Although Qiu Yilan was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but sigh secretly at this moment!
Sure enough, Queen Mother Gu immediately seized the opportunity: "Ning Tai seems to have something to say? But what Ning Yi said is wrong?"
Qiu Jinzhu, who was severely pinched by Xiuyan, did not dare to oppose Qiu Yilan in public. She held back her tears and said, "When I return to the Queen Mother, what my cousin said is..."
"You have to think about it!" The Queen Mother interrupted with a half-smile, "According to Ning Yi's intention, the crown prince Zhang Guogong is to be executed... Are you sure what your cousin said is okay?"
"..." The color on Qiu Jinzhu's face changed, and she subconsciously looked at her lover not far away, only to see Kuang Qingwu also casting a sad glance at him. He then withdrew his gaze and raised his hands towards Danqi: "Two Your Majesty, I have indeed betrayed Princess Ningtai. Now that the Princess wants me to die, I have nothing to say!"
His move of retreating in order to advance was obvious to Qiu Yilan, but it suddenly disturbed Qiu Jinzhu's heart: "How could this happen? Didn't Fifth Sister say that she wanted to save me? Why did she want Kuang Lang first?" Life?!"
I remembered that Qiu Yilan had said before that Qiu Zhongyan died at the hands of Kuang Shihan, "Fifth sister wants to use this opportunity to force Kuang Lang to death so that he can avenge Uncle Wang?!"
"What should I do?! If I go along with the fifth sister's advice, what will happen to Kuang Lang... If I don't go along with the fifth sister's advice, with the fifth sister's character, how can I be spared afterwards?!"
"My mother and my fifth sister both said that Kuang Lang lied to me, but now he is willing to die... If he really wanted to lie to me, why would he admit that he had failed me? Could it be that he has any difficulties?"
She was lost in thought here, and others didn't have so much time to wait.
Empress Dowager Gu immediately sneered: "Ningtai, didn't you hear what the crown prince Zhang Guogong said? This matter is serious, how can you not say a word and let your cousin speak for you?!"
Although Empress Jiang, who always loved to quarrel with the Queen Mother, rushed over in time to calm down Qiu Yilan, she had no intention of making a show of it at the moment. She held a tea cup in her hand and looked down meaningfully at the Danqi. She was quite capable of this. This incident was taken as a test for Qiu Yilan.
Without the Queen to stop Queen Mother Gu from continuing to coax Qiu Jinzhu, Qiu Yilan naturally had to go into battle on her own: "The Queen Mother's words are wrong. My cousin has not yet left the cabinet. How can I say such things in public?" Exit? Naturally, the wife of the minister can only narrate it, and what the prince Zhang Guogong said just now is obviously a confession! In this case, why should the empress embarrass the cousin of the minister, and she should also punish the wife of the minister. Give justice to my wife’s natal family!”
Although Empress Jiang didn't say anything, her presence here was a help.
For example, Qiu Yilan could be more arrogant and domineering in her words. Anyway, the Queen was going to the school to take the exam, so she couldn't really sit back and watch her niece-in-law being dragged down and beaten by Queen Mother Gu.
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Gu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She glanced at the Queen below, and resisted the urge to call for Qiu Yilan to be taken out and beaten to death - with Empress Jiang here, this order would definitely not be carried out, and it would be a waste of time. Chunguang.
These days, Empress Dowager Gu planned to take advantage of Duke Qin's illness to deal with the Queen's gang, and she spent a lot of time thinking about it. The Queen Mother is also about to become a great-grandmother. Her energy is very precious now and she doesn't want to waste it in vain.
Therefore, he only glanced at his confidant female officer.
The female officer understood and said in a cold voice: "Princess Ningyi must not be presumptuous! How can you be allowed to say anything when the Queen Mother asks questions! Besides, why can't Princess Ningtai explain herself?!" Your cousin will do anything shameless. , are you afraid of saying it again? !
"What Madam Zheng said is ridiculous." Queen Jiang, who had been standing by and watching, frowned slightly when she saw the Queen Mother's female officer coming out to speak. She also glanced at Ms. Lin beside her. Ms. Lin immediately said, "What's wrong with Princess Ningyi?" Are you being presumptuous? Kuang Qingwu is the eldest son of the country, but he is shameless and seduces the young princess. It is a waste of time to read the book of sages! It’s human nature to be punished as soon as possible! How can you call it impudent?”
Queen Jiang drank tea leisurely and looked at Queen Mother Gu provocatively - the female official may sound nice, but she is still a slave in front of members of the royal family. Of course, the slaves of the Tian family are beyond the reach of other servants, and they have class after all. . So Miss Zheng came out to reprimand Qiu Yilan, but Su He and others did not dare or could not reply on her behalf. If the Queen did not let Miss Lin come out to take over the situation, Qiu Yilan could only continue to do it on her own.
"Want to use a slave to humiliate my nephew? I'm dreaming!" Queen Jiang snorted coldly in her heart, "Do you think I am dead?"
"Princess Ningyi has already left the cabinet. Even if she has not left the cabinet, Princess Ningtai's parents are still here. How can Princess Ningyi be able to take on such a big matter before Prince Xihe and his wife come over to talk?" Then Princess Zheng followed up. Ms. Lin was an old rival. She frowned slightly when she heard this and said in an indifferent tone, "Furthermore, Princess Ningyi once ignored her relatives and exposed King Xihe for disrespecting her aunt. This shows that the relationship with Princess Ningtai is far away. It's far from being called a sisterly love! Prince Xihe and his wife are not here now, so how can Princess Ning Yi's one-sided words be trusted?"
To be honest, Qiu Yilan also felt that the current scene was a mess - when she and Qiu Jinzhu came over, Tang Zimo and Qiu Dian were there, but Queen Jiang who arrived later said, "There are private matters in the backyard. It is not appropriate to let too many outsiders in before we find out." Intervene" and forcibly sent them away.
The queen did this because she received news on the way that Qiu Jinzhu was deeply in love with Kuang Qingwu. She was worried that Tang Zimo and others would stay. If the crowded scene could not be controlled well, Qiu Jinzhu would be accused of being confused and defected. It would be great fun to protect Qingwu.
The problem is that although Empress Jiang sent many people away for the purpose of controlling the situation, only a few people were allowed in the palace - but Qiu Mengmin and his wife were supposed to come over, but they haven't shown up yet!
Now that Lady Zheng was talking to them, Queen Mother Gu and Queen Jiang also felt that something was wrong. They asked the palace attendant at the door together: "Is there any news about Prince Xihe and his wife asking for a meeting?"
"Two ladies, no." The palace attendant went out of the palace to ask around, and then came back in a hurry to report, "Prince Xihe and his wife have not arrived at the palace gate yet!"
After hearing this, everyone in the palace was very surprised: "Could it be that Qiu Mengmin simply doesn't want this daughter anymore? But even so, he will eventually come to the palace to announce it, right?"
"Send someone to the Qiu family's other courtyard to spread the word!" Empress Dowager Gu pondered for a while and gave the order decisively.
Qiu Mengmin and his wife haven't arrived yet, and the people in the palace will not be idle.
Empress Dowager Gu seized on Qiu Yilan's previous grievances with her uncle's family and questioned why she took the initiative to stand up for Qiu Jinzhu this time. Of course, Qiu Yilan was not to be outdone and insisted that she would never quarrel with her uncle's family again. They are flesh and blood relatives: "Does the Queen Mother think that a minister should not stand up for her cousin, or even add insult to injury to her cousin?"
Empress Jiang was also laughing casually: "Mother, how can my family have any grudges the other day? What's more, wasn't King Xihe also deceived by those cunning servants before and violated his mother's orders? Princess Ningyi is magnanimous and repays evil with kindness. We should reward rather than question, right?”
Empress Dowager Gu was not angry at this moment, and said calmly: "Empty words are not worthy of belief. Let's wait until Qiu Mengmin comes to discuss it." Do you really think that the Ai family doesn't know your Jiang family's plan to delay time? It's just that the Ai family now wants to delay it until tomorrow - after all, the evidence proving that Qiu Jinglan instructed Princess Ningtai to seduce the Ai family's nominal grandson Kuang Qingwu... will also take time!
So everyone in the palace went back and forth and had a taunting battle for a long time. Finally, when the palace servant who went to tell Qiu Mengmin and his wife came back, the result was very unexpected: it was not that Qiu Mengmin and his wife didn't know that they had to go to the palace to plead guilty... but they all came. No more.
At least not for the time being.
The reason why he couldn't come was also very simple: Qiu Mengmin was furious when he heard that his daughter had committed such a scandal. In addition, his concubine Bian and his eldest daughter-in-law Ding Qinghong were provoking them... so after he returned to the other courtyard, Not meeting Qiu Jinzhu who had gone to the Jiang Family Courtyard earlier to look for Qiu Yilan, he rushed over to settle the score with Princess Yang!
And Princess Yang was also very angry. Her biological daughter had suffered such a big loss and was still causing trouble. She was so full of injustice that she didn't know who to go to! At this juncture, Qiu Mengmin kept saying, "How do bitch women raise their daughters?" and "I know that all of you Yang family bloodlines do not follow the rules of women." Princess Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and in a fit of anger she rushed forward to fight with him!
She was a prostitute. Although she grabbed Qiu Mengmin a few times at first, she was soon pinned to the ground and beaten violently by Qiu Mengmin. Of course, Princess Yang was beaten with scars and was immediately unconscious. In a short period of time, she was There is no way to enter the palace.
And Qiu Mengmin... His face was scratched like a tabby cat by Princess Yang's long nails. He was in a hurry to apply medicine to stop the bleeding and could not meet the noble person.
"What happened to the Qiu family that is in such a mess!" Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Gu glanced at Qiu Yilan gloomily, and said to Queen Jiang with a sneer, "What's so strange about such a family raising an unruly daughter! "
Empress Jiang was not willing to let her go: "The Kuang family is not a good thing. My daughter-in-law remembers that Kuang Shihan's biological mother abandoned her son and ran away with the family property just after her husband died. How can such a shameless woman's bloodline be enough?" How well-behaved do you expect him to be?”
"There is a saying that flies don't like seamless eggs. If Ning Tai is a chaste person, what will happen no matter how many people seduce her?" Queen Mother Gu sneered, "In the end, she is still frivolous!"
After hearing this, Qiu Jinzhu felt a chill in her heart: The Queen Mother said she was frivolous, could she still live? If you are lucky enough to survive, what future will you have? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Kuang Qingwu again - this time Kuang Qingwu was not looking at her, but was watching the two empresses arguing with an indifferent expression.
But it was Qiu Yilan who was standing in front of her. Shi Shiran said: "The Queen Mother, if my cousin is frivolous, then wouldn't Qingwu deserve death?! Besides, my cousin has not arrived yet. As for hairpins, who doesn’t have time to be young and ignorant?”
Queen Mother Gu glanced at her with disgust and said coldly: "Why do you plan to teach the Ai family to handle this matter?!"
