The emperor is gradually recovering, and he has to go for a walk to eat after lunch every day in the past few days, and it is the same today.

Accompanying the emperor for a walk were not only Eunuch Zhang, but also the queen, and Li Jingrong, who came to pay her respects. She and the queen supported the emperor on both sides, so he didn't take care of himself.

Yesterday it was cold and windy, but today the sun is shining brightly. The emperor and his party walked on the arch bridge, the early spring sunshine was warm, and they looked at the sparkling water in the pool under the bridge. They looked into the distance and saw the many buildings and mountains, which was refreshing and refreshing.

Sure enough, after the cold winter, the New Year is coming, and every inch of the mountains and rivers is full of hope.

The emperor couldn't help but feel happy, and his steps were more steady than before. He turned to look at the queen beside him, and suddenly saw wrinkles creeping into the corners of the queen's eyes. The emperor was dazed for a moment. The queen was also getting older. Unknowingly,

The queen has been married to him for more than 20 years, but he seems to rarely look at the queen seriously. He has always regarded her as the queen of Ningguo and the master of the harem, but he has hardly realized that she is also a woman and needs to be taken care of.

and favor.

After all, he was ashamed of her.

Seeing that there seemed to be guilt and tenderness in the emperor's eyes, and he kept staring at her, the queen's face heated up, and she couldn't help but feel a little unnatural, "But is there something on my face? Why does the emperor keep staring at me?

?」

The emperor shook his head, "Queen, for so many years, I have always ignored you and wronged you."

The queen was stunned at first, and then her heart suddenly became sour, and her eyes became red. Why did she realize her grievance now? Was it because Concubine Li died and Concubine De was grounded? Thinking like this, the queen felt even more aggrieved.

Become sour.

After being sore and weak for several times, the Queen finally hardened her heart and said very tactfully: "As long as the Emperor sees me and has me in his heart, I will not feel aggrieved."

The emperor was even more moved. He took her hand and walked slowly down the arch bridge. After coming down from the arch bridge, the emperor and others still walked around the pool. The ground was four or five feet high from the pool. The water in the pool often needed to be cleaned, so there were two steps.

It's possible to go down.

Just when the emperor and others were about to approach one of the steps leading to the pool, voices came from below. The voices were not loud, they were whispering and it was hard to make out what was being said, but one could hear that there was someone, but no one was visible.

, must be sitting on the ridge.

The emperor frowned and said, "Who is where?"

The two palace maids on the porch were frightened. They quickly stood up and looked towards the sound. When they saw it was the emperor, queen and others, their faces turned pale with fright.

Two palace maids came up in a hurry, even walking and crawling in the panic.

"This servant pays homage to the Emperor, the Queen."

"Which palace are you from? If you don't go on duty, what are you talking about secretly here?" The queen took the lead and asked majestically.

"Going back to the Empress, I am from the Clothing Bureau, and Xiaoman is from Concubine Lan's palace. I went to deliver clothes to Concubine Lan's palace. I met Xiaoman. We are from the same hometown. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we talked for a while.

Zihua."

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

"That's all, I won't do it next time."

"Thank you, my dear wife, there won't be another time for you slaves."

The Queen pondered slightly and then asked: "I just heard you mention the Crown Princess?"

Their faces suddenly turned pale. They were hesitating, unable to explain, and their voices were trembling.

Seeing them like this made the Queen confirm that what she just said was not wrong. Li Jingrong, who was watching silently from the side, curled up the corners of her mouth in a subtle way, and soon disappeared invisibly.

"Tell me, what's wrong with the Crown Princess? You are actually talking about the master behind his back?" The queen's voice suddenly became harsh, and the emperor also frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with the queen's harshness, but because he was dissatisfied with Su Cixuan and these two people behind his back.

A girl talking about her master.

The two palace maids shivered, their faces were completely drained of blood, and their foreheads hit the ground, "I know your mistake. I will never dare to do it again. I beg the queen to spare me this time."

"Answer me first, what are you talking about about the Crown Princess? What happened to the Crown Princess?"

"My maid, my maid only heard that the Crown Princess and Young Master Ji are here, in the palace, in the palace..."

"What are the Crown Princess and Mr. Ji doing in the palace?" the Queen asked sharply, her voice even more chilling than before.

"Here, in a private meeting." The palace maid named Xiaoman was trembling all over.

"You are so bold, how dare you slander the Crown Princess like this? Come here, drag these two bastards down and beat them thirty times."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know your mistake. I will never dare to do it again. I beg your Majesty, please spare your life."

Just as the guards were about to drag the two maids down, the emperor shouted in a deep voice with a very ugly face: "Slow down."

"Your Majesty, no one is in awe of these slaves who slander their masters behind the scenes without severe punishment. I am afraid that more and more people will follow suit in the future, and the rumors in the palace will be difficult to contain." The queen said earnestly.

"Punishment is necessary, but since there are such rumors, we must find out clearly."

"Bring them to Chengqian Hall, I have something to interrogate."

"Yes." The guards immediately responded, escorted the two maids, and went to Chengqian Hall with the emperor and others.

The emperor's face was livid, the queen and Li Jingrong were proud of each other, Li Jingrong smiled in triumph, and the queen was surprised. Only Eunuch Zhang, although his face was calm, was secretly worried for Su Cixuan.

When they arrived at the Chengqian Palace, the emperor screened out the others, leaving only the two maids, including the queen and Li Jingrong. Logically speaking, this was a royal private matter, and it might be a big scandal, so Li Jingrong should avoid it. But she

She was also worried that the two palace maids did not speak thoroughly, so the emperor and empress did not order her to avoid it, so she bit the bullet and stayed.

The emperor's eyes were blazing, and he asked the two palace maids where they heard the rumors, and when and where the Crown Princess and Young Master Ji had a private meeting.

The two palace maids hesitated for a moment in fear, and then told them everything they knew.

Li Jingrong listened, and the time and place were right. She was secretly happy. It seemed that her maids and Song Minzhen had done a good job.

The emperor's face is extremely ugly. How can a woman with no self-respect and no sense of manners be worthy of being a crown princess? If this rumor really spreads, where is Chen'er's face, and where is the face of the royal family, so that the world cannot see the joke of the Luo family!

"Zhang Huaizhi."

"Here." Eunuch Zhang bowed and came over to listen to the order.

"According to my decree, no one is allowed to spread rumors. Anyone seen talking in twos and threes will be escorted to Ye Ting for questioning. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beaten to death."

When the two palace maids heard this, their heartbeats almost stopped and they knelt there shivering.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will go and deliver the order right away."

The queen curled her lips and then asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, where are those two girls?"

The emperor glanced at the two men with disgust and said, "Thirty sticks. If you dare to spread rumors in the future, you will be killed with a stick."

The lips of the two palace maids trembled, and they did not dare to beg again, fearing that the emperor would change his mind and order them to be killed with a stick. Although, after thirty days, they did not know if they were still alive. But it was better than being killed with a stick.

"Someone, drag me down."

After the two palace maids were dragged down, the emperor's expression did not improve at all. Su Cixuan, how should she be dealt with, and for what reason should she be dealt with? They absolutely cannot deal with her for being unruly and unbecoming of a woman. The royal family cannot afford to throw this person away.

Moreover, does Su Cixuan and Gongzi Ji really have an affair? This affair happened in Su

Did it happen before Cixuan married the prince, or after marrying the prince? If it happened after marrying the prince, then, in addition to Su Cixuan being cheating on Hongxing, Gongzi Ji was also suspected of seducing the crown prince. Gongzi Ji did this, really

Is it just that they can't escape the love between men and women, or is there another purpose? Or does Liang Guo have evil intentions?
