She recognizes this earring!

"grandmother……"

Concubine Ye glanced at her face and said, "I heard that your grandmother often goes to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and the like. The tigers and wolves in the mountains are very fierce. Next time you go back to visit relatives, please tell the elderly to be careful."

She changed the subject and added: "Of course, I hope you can get out of this palace alive."

Fangqi looked at her in disbelief: "You, why on earth did you do this?"

Queen Yizhuang interrogated Fangqi and Fangrong again.

Jin Wen was still present as a witness.

Fangrong knelt down and cried out that she was wronged.

Fangqi knelt down but said nothing.

Concubine Ye was sitting at the table and said: "With all the witnesses and material evidence, how can we be wronged? Why don't you two accuse me based on the truth?"

"Fang Qi..." Ning Jia looked at Fang Qi with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, Envoy Nizi, the three princesses are young and ignorant, and are not suitable for marriage at the moment. If you have other requests, envoy, just speak up." Emperor Yongping said.

"No, it's nothing." Ning Yang said, "Anyway, this bracelet belongs to the third sister, I will just give it back to her now."

"Fangqi..." Ning Jia and Fangrong knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"That's fine." Queen Yizhuang said, "Ning Jia, please keep this purple jade bracelet."

"Empress," Fang Qi said, "Yes, this slave took it..."

The attendant took the order and left.

Fangrong was also shocked: "Fangqi, you must not blindly admit it!"

Concubine Ye also stood up and said to Queen Yizhuang: "Please deal with it impartially!"

Then he ordered his attendants: "Go and find out what the beating is about."

"Is Fangrong involved in this matter?" Queen Yizhuang asked again.

"This..." Emperor Yongping was just afraid that he would say this and didn't want to hear it today.

"She has already admitted it herself, how can she still lie? Stealing things from the palace is not an exaggeration, even if it is punishable by death. Now, it is already a light crime." Ning Yang snorted from the side.

"Then just chop off one of her hands and drive her out of the palace, so that she can have a long memory and never do this again." Queen Yizhuang said.

"Otherwise what?" Queen Yizhuang frowned.

Not far after the Nizi envoy walked out of the post house, he saw several people from the market gathered around, whispering and discussing.

Queen Yizhuang said to Fangqi: "Fangqi, you have always been mature and prudent, how could you be so confused?"

A man came out of the hiding place and gave some money to some people in the market.

"Is there someone else involved in this matter?" Ning Yang took a step closer to Fang Qi and said sternly.

Then he turned to Fangqi: "Fangqi, are you willing to plead guilty?"

"Fang Qi is responsible for all the work. I only have myself to blame for letting down the kindness of the Empress and the Third Princess..." Fang Qi said.

The man turned a few street corners and returned to someone under the shadow of a tree.

The Nizi envoy rolled his sleeves and returned to the post house.

"Empress," Concubine Cheng stood up and said to Empress Yizhuang, "Fangqi has been in the palace for many years. Today, she just made a mistake in her trip. Please give her a chance to change her ways."

"Why is the envoy so impatient? Let King Gu and other ministers discuss this matter further." Emperor Yongping said.

"No!" Fang Qi said hurriedly, then turned to Ning Jia and said, "Third Princess, Fang Qi was confused and failed you..."

"Your Majesty," Huaihua General Qiao Lingyu came out and said, "The last general is willing to go to Mingdan to make meritorious service to the country."

Fang Qi continued: "This slave should not be greedy and be obsessed for a moment..."

"The maids of Jianjia Palace have stolen tributes. The palace rules have been rectified. They are not allowed to discuss this matter in the future. Tomorrow, all palaces will take this as a warning and clean up the inner palace." Queen Yizhuang said.

"Yes..." Ning Jia was still crying and fell to the ground. Concubine Cheng helped her up, and she walked over to take the bracelet.

Fang Rong cried and fell to the ground to receive the punishment.

"No." Fang Qi said quickly, "It's all because of Fang Qi's confusion. Fang Rong didn't know about it."

When Ning Jia heard this, she stood up and said with a trembling voice: "Fang Qi, it's not..."

In the afternoon, a female body was fished out of the river, with a severed hand still dripping with blood.

Queen Yizhuang looked at Ning Jia and said slowly: "According to the rules of the palace, those who commit theft will be punished differently according to the value of the item. This purple jade bracelet is priceless, and it is a tribute from Ming Dan, so it is a capital crime.

It is also within the legal principles. It is extremely merciful to spare her a life and a hand now."

Li Yun, the Minister of War, said: "Excluding the troops stationed on all sides, most of them are in Chiyue. In the Yufeng War, the available troops are about 70,000."

The war in Yufeng resumed, and the military situation was urgent. Emperor Yongping ordered troops overnight.

When he went to court again in the morning, Emperor Yongping said in a deep voice: "The lonely king is determined to draw up a decree, and the three princesses will marry Mingdan."

"Since the second princess of your country has already made a promise to someone else, and I, Ming Dan, cannot force anyone to do anything, please ask the Holy Lord to give the third princess of your country the Golden Crow King as my queen." The Nizi envoy said.

Suddenly there was a legend in the streets and alleys: a palace maid stole tribute and had one of her hands chopped off and was driven out.

Yunhui General Pang Huahu led an army of 150,000 to Hedao City.

"Yes." Concubine Cheng, Concubine Ye, Ning Jia, Ning Yang and others bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, I will not be afraid to bury Huanyue's bones on the battlefield." Qiao Lingyu knelt down.

The Nizi envoy met again and proposed a new approach.

He said to the executioner maid: "Cut off your hands and expel me from the palace. You will not be allowed to enter the palace again!"

"yes."

Queen Yizhuang added: "Although Fang Rong was not involved in this matter, her words were careless and her actions were inconsistent. She will be punished by receiving ten lashes and three months of silver punishment."

The attendant walked over and asked a few people about it, and then came back and reported to the Nizi envoy.

"Five hundred thousand." Li Yun said.

"General Qiao is brave and loyal, and the lonely king deeply appreciates it." Emperor Yongping nodded, "However, since Ming Dan surrendered, although he seemed humble, he never truly surrendered. In the past few years, he has been looking for capable people.

We are training our troops day and night, and are ready for a major war at any time. Now that we are surrounded by enemies from the north and south of the moon, and the battlefield is noisy, it is really not suitable to start another war."

Then two palace maids came up and pulled Fangqi down.

"How many Ming Dan are there?" Emperor Yongping asked again.

"Slave, slave, I am willing to submit..." Fang Qi kowtowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, the Queen, for not killing me."

"Your Majesty..." Qiao Lingyu wanted to say more.

"Indeed, I promised you." Emperor Yongping said.

"Queen Mother!" Ning Jia was shocked, her lips turned white, she knelt on the ground and cried, "Queen Mother, please spare Fang Qi, she will never do such a thing..."

"Nizi came all the way from a thousand miles away on the orders of King Jinwu. He only wanted to seek a permanent alliance between the two countries. However, the Holy Lord refused several times. Are you unwilling to be on good terms with Mingdan anymore?" Although Nizi looked respectful on his face,

, these few sentences are important.

Ning Yang had already stood up, pointed at Fang Qi and shouted to Queen Yizhuang: "Queen Mother, it is indeed her!"

"Your Majesty, seventy thousand is enough." Qiao Lingyu said.

"In this case, Nizi will return to Mingdan tomorrow and report truthfully to King Jinwu. The Mingdan Kingdom is weak and the king is young, so it is difficult for the princess to be a good match." Nizi envoy said.

"The envoy must not misunderstand. It is indeed difficult for a young girl to be the queen of a country. In addition, if the envoy has any request, the lonely king will do his best." Emperor Yongping said.

"I heard that the third son of the Xiao family has fled in fear of crime. Do you still think of him as your consort?" said the Nizi envoy.

"Messenger Nizi," Prime Minister Zhou Ting stepped forward and said, "The daughter of the royal family of Huanyue Kingdom must be married after seventeen square years."

"Then what do you think Concubine Cheng should do?" Queen Yizhuang said.

"Mother," Ning Yang suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Queen Yizhuang, "it's better to return this bracelet to Third Sister."

"Okay, before noon the day after tomorrow, Nizi will be waiting for the Holy Spirit's will at the post house." Nizi said.

I seem to hear words like "Mingdan tribute", "stealing" and "princess".

"What?" Queen Yizhuang asked curiously.

After hearing this, the Nizi envoy immediately ordered his attendants: "Go and find out."

Ning Jia's tears rolled down her face, and she kowtowed to Queen Yizhuang and begged: "Empress, please spare Fangqi."

Under the dancing shadows of the trees, Meng Han smiled and said: "It was done well."

"This originally belonged to Third Sister. I only borrowed it for a few days to wear. I should return it to Third Sister now, otherwise..." Ning Yang stopped talking at this point.

Fang Rong also cried and fell to the ground: "I beg the Queen to spare Fang Qi."

At dusk the next day, Yufeng Border Express came:

The Yufeng Kingdom has assembled an army of 200,000 and is making a comeback. The war in Hedao Border City is tense. Please send troops for reinforcements!
