Concubine Cheng glanced at the Crown Prince and Prince Ning, knowing that the Emperor wanted to use her hand to beat the two princes.
After holding her breath, Princess Cheng's expression became serious: "Wanze, do you know your guilt?"
Wan Ze trembled all over and fell to the ground quickly: "Concubine, please calm down, there is another hidden reason behind this matter!"
At this time, Wan Ze gritted his teeth and did not blame Wen Qingmei for everything.
As the eldest son of the Wan family, he has been with his father and grandfather for a long time.
He couldn't guess the holy will, but he still knew some things in the officialdom.
If the emperor is not here, he can still put all the responsibilities on Wen Qingmei.
After all, when it comes to women, even if he, a man, accepts Wen Qingmei, Wen Qingmei is considered to be on a high level.
Wan Ze honestly told the story, except that he concealed the fact that the woman was Xia Feiyuan.
Mrs. Wan was so anxious that she almost stepped forward to explain to Wan Ze.
Everyone present heard a key message.
It was Concubine Xia's maid who led them to the grove.
Concubine Cheng immediately turned to look at the prince: "Prince, we need to ask Concubine Xia and the people around her to come over for this matter."
Prince Jiang Yuansheng almost blurted out that he didn't care about the affairs of the Prince's Mansion at all.
But he still agreed, and when the prince's people were about to leave, Eunuch Fang came out.
"Your Highness, this old slave, please come together."
The prince was startled, then glanced at the emperor, immediately raised his head and said, "Yes, let's do it. I will go with my father-in-law."
Everyone in the room lowered their heads, but Concubine Cheng turned to look at Concubine Li: "Prince Ning, why did you happen to be shooting arrows over there?"
Prince Ning knew that Concubine Cheng's question was the emperor's intention, so he quickly came out and replied: "It was a guard who told me that there are interesting things in the forest."
"Which guard?" Concubine Cheng frowned. Prince Ning was clearly lured there.
Prince Ning was upset and angry. What he heard at that time was that a rich lady was having a private meeting with the prince. He heard that she was a lady from the Wen family.
He just passed by, but he didn't expect to find the prince and Wen Qingfang.
He immediately became playful and decided to deliberately shoot an arrow to scare them.
Unexpectedly, two sounds came from the other side. He felt that something was wrong, so he looked in the right direction and shot another arrow.
The subsequent arrow happened to hit Wan Ze and Wen Qingmei.
Concubine Cheng was silent for a moment, then looked at Prince Ning and said, "If you can't prove your innocence, deliberately shooting an arrow at the prince is a serious crime of murder!"
"Concubine, calm down!" Prince Ning immediately knelt down, straightened his face, and said seriously to Jiang Yue, "Father, what I said is true. I just heard that there are interesting things happening over there."
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and analyzed in his mind.
She sent someone to lure Prince Ning there. Naturally, Jasmine found out that Wen Qingfang was looking for the prince again.
But she didn't expect that the place where Wen Qingfang went happened to be the place where Xia Feiyuan and the young master of the Li family had an affair.
Was this an accident, or did Wen Qingfang do it on purpose
Once the prince, a witness, discovered the scandal between Xia Feiyuan and Li Ran.
Because of their face and reputation, the Li family will definitely let the second young master of the Li family, Li Ran, marry Xia Feiyuan.
In addition, Xia Feiyuan's maid apparently deliberately lured Wan Ze Wen Qingmei there so that she could cover up for Xia Feiyuan.
The people who came after them obviously didn't want Li Ran and Xia Feiyuan to be discovered.
Was it someone from the Li family who discovered it, or someone else? Why do you do it in the name of Xia Concubine's maid
Very interesting...
The prince came with Concubine Xia, followed by a group of maids and servants.
"Miss Wen, please check with Mr. Wan to see if there is the maid you mentioned?" The prince obviously didn't seem to be involved in this matter at all.
It was obvious that he was the victim and was almost injured by an arrow from King Ning.
Wan Ze and Wen Qingmei looked up and shook their heads at the same time: "None of them."
"That must be someone pretending to be my maid." Concubine Xia lowered her head and said, feeling shocked. She had just found out about Xia Feiyuan and Li Ran.
As a result, the Prince's Mansion was involved again, and the maid was not sent there by her at all.
If Xia Feiyuan could marry into the Li family, it wouldn't matter if her reputation was a little bit worse. She would be a hundred times better than the Wen family.
The prince raised his hand and said: "Father—"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yue glanced at him and Prince Ning coldly: "I told you to leave this matter to the concubine. If we can't find out, let Su Huo come over and handle it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Does this mean they want to get to the bottom of it? !
Everyone present had their own concerns, but no one dared to disobey the emperor and could only keep silent.
Concubine Cheng had no choice but to turn around and ask Wen Qingmei: "What does that maid look like?"
Wen Qingmei timidly raised her head and described the maid's appearance.
At the end, she also said: "I followed Concubine Xia there after seeing her order."
"Yes, yes!" Wan Ze immediately agreed, "It is precisely because of this that I was drugged without noticing."
Wen Qingmei's voice became even softer: "At that time, I felt that the maid was weird. After hearing Miss Xia's voice, I vomited—"
"Wait!" Princess Cheng frowned and stopped, "Why is there another Miss Xia?"
Wen Qingmei suddenly stood up in panic, but Wen Qingzhu held her down and gave her a calming look.
Wen Qingmei said with difficulty: "Master Wan and I heard the woman's voice. It was Miss Xia Feiyuan of the Xia family..."
This matter involved the Xia family. At this time, everyone looked at Concubine Xia a little strangely.
Wan Ze didn't say who the man and woman were having an affair just now, which is understandable.
After all, Xia Feiyuan is Wan Ze's cousin.
In this way, things will be clear.
Concubine Cheng felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and asked Wen Qingmei in a calm voice: "Tell me again what happened to you!"
Wen Qingmei was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and spoke word by word.
But at the end, she deliberately glanced at Mrs. Li and Concubine Xia, and said tremblingly: "Maybe I heard wrong, it's not Miss Xia and Mr. Li."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li and Concubine Xia were even more livid.
What does this mean? You are obviously defending them, but you are telling the person that she must have heard it right? !
Things have reached this point and have reached an impasse.
Unexpectedly, after going round and round, the prince and Prince Ning finally got into the car.
The Xia family is the prince's in-laws, and the Li family is the uncle's family of Prince Ning.
Concubine Li finally couldn't sit still and cast her eyes fiercely at Wen Qingmei: "Did you really hear it? Why didn't Mr. Wan say anything? Could it be that you framed Ran'er on purpose!"
Wen Qingzhu took a step forward and blocked Concubine Li's view for Wen Qingmei.
She looked at Concubine Li calmly: "Concubine, right or wrong, you can't believe one person's words. Since the twelfth sister said that those two people were Mr. Li and Miss Xia, let someone check where they were at that time. Isn’t it done?”
"Come here, send someone to check!" Princess Cheng immediately gave the order without any hesitation.
"Miss Wen!" Concubine Li didn't dare to be presumptuous because Jiang Yue was here, so she could only sneer secretly, "Your sister followed Mr. Wan when she went out at night. Could it be that she wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix?"
Wen Qingzhu chuckled, glanced at Prince Ning beside her, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Wen family is not a noble family, but the Wen family is from a noble family. Although the official position is very low, the twelfth sister is Under the conditions, there is no problem in marrying into an equal family and becoming the head wife!"
"Haha!" Mrs. Wan couldn't help but sneer, "Master Wen is just a lowly sixth-grade official, a concubine whose son is not favored, and he still wants to marry into the same family as his wife! What a big joke! "
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Wan: "Mrs. Wan, let me correct you. My grandfather is now a fifth-grade water doctor. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he has stepped up step by step. The twelfth sister said one Why not take the legitimate son of a sixth- or seventh-rank official as your head wife?"
Mrs. Wan wanted to be able to hold it back, but when she was slapped in the face in public, her head suddenly became hot: "You little bitch—"
In the middle of the scolding, Concubine Xia, who was standing next to the prince, coughed coldly.
Madam Wan suddenly felt that everyone was looking over. A chill ran down her spine, and she quickly changed her words: "Yes, Mr. Wen has been promoted to Doctor of the Water Department."
Wen Qingzhu did not argue with him, but turned to look at Concubine Li: "Mother, you have also seen that the people of the Wan family are like this. My father wants to have a wise eye to discern pearls. Even if Lord Wan is a high-ranking person, my father will not treat the twelve My sister married into the Wan family!"
Mrs. Wan was so angry that she pinched her palms fiercely. Wen Qingzhu actually stepped on the Wan family to show Mr. Wen's face.
No one present knew what the situation was like in the Wen family.
If it weren't for Wen Qingzhu's face, the Wen family wouldn't be qualified to come to this autumn hunt.
"What a sharp mouth." Li Guifei raised her chin and looked at Wen Qingzhu, "The Wan family is indeed not as good as the Wen family, but the level is there, the Wen family is not as good as the Wan family!"
However, Wen Qingzhu laughed out loud, his bright eyes sparkling with water, and his back straightened as he said: "Your Majesty, even the ancestors of the Fu family more than a hundred years ago started as a small ninth-grade official, but now, they are A century-old family that is envied by everyone in the world, although the Wen family has a poor start, it may not be impossible for them to become as big a family as the Fu family!"
Concubine Li wanted to say something else, but it was Concubine Cheng who came.
This time, the Xia family came with Xia Feiyuan.
Mrs. Xia knelt down and cried, saying that her Xia Feiyuan was innocent.
However, Princess Cheng only asked one sentence: "Then Miss Xia is in the house, can anyone else prove it?"
Mrs. Xia choked for a moment, then lowered her head: "No, but the Xia family has always had a pure family tradition, and Fei Yuan would never do such a thing! My wife can swear poisonous oaths! If she lies, she will be struck by thunder!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of light suddenly came from outside the house.
When everyone looked, there was a faint sound of thunder.
There was a sudden silence in the room. Wen Qingzhu couldn't help it and laughed: "Mrs. Xia, why don't you let Mr. Su go and investigate in person? It's just a waste of time for us to argue here."
Mrs. Xia's face turned pale and she didn't know what to say.
Concubine Cheng asked the emperor what he wanted, and then sent someone to invite Su Huo.
At this time, the room was completely quiet.
Wen Qingzhu looked at whether there was lightning outside and felt very worried.
Once it rains, I'm afraid there won't be any evidence in the woods.
But fortunately, Suho rushed back with his people before it started to rain.
"Reporting to the Concubine, Wei Chen found two types of medicinal powders there, as well as several completely different flavors of fragrant powders."
Concubine Cheng glanced at Xia Feiyuan behind Mrs. Xia, and her body trembled obviously.
