Everyone was curious about this.
Wei Qing laughed as she took off the empress's embroidered shoes from dog general's mouth and gave Mo Qi a meaningful glance.
Mo Qi understood tacitly and forcibly took off the eunuch's shoes.
Wei Qing took out the silver needles and used the white silk handkerchief that she brought along with him to dig out some dark brown powder from the gaps of the shoes.
The powder, when matched with the white silk handkerchief, was even more eye-catching.
Everyone stretched their necks and stared at the silk handkerchief.
"What is this?" Old Emperor frowned and asked.
Wei Qing glanced at the empress. "This is meat powder. That day, I sprinkled this powder on the doorstep of the Compendium Pavilion and on the doorstep.
And right now, the Compendium Pavilion is still able to see the eunuch's footprints. If anyone has any doubts, they can take the eunuch's shoes for a check and it will be very clear. "
The Queen's eyes rapidly turned. She didn't go to the Compendium Pavilion … It was a rebuttal.
"Wei Qing, I have never been to the Compendium Pavilion, it seems like you are purposely framing me."
Wei Qing let out a cold laugh. She had already reached the edge of the cliff, yet she still hadn't reined him in.
"Empress, do you dare to say that you didn't summon this eunuch to your Yi Kun Palace?"
Things had already gotten to this point, and he still did not know how to repent. Wei Qing was truly angry, and even changed her respectful title.
The empress dowager and Old Emperor looked at the empress with increasingly disappointed expressions!
The empress's heart skipped a beat. "Your majesty, so many people have walked past here. It's hard to say if chenqie might accidentally bump into them!"
Wei Qing sighed, looking at the empress with a complicated expression. "Empress, this eunuch only appeared in the imperial garden after you came here. If you insist on saying that, then you can check whether or not the soles of the palace maids by your side are stained with this minced meat powder and judge whether or not this eunuch has appeared in your Yi Kun Palace. "
The Queen's mind was already filled with countless bombers that were bombarding the place in turn. Now that Wei Qing had said so much in one go, she could not even think of anything else as she rubbed her forehead with all her might.
"Wei Qing, did Prince Chu order you to slander me like this?" The Queen was furious.
Seeing that the empress still hadn't repented, Old Emperor slapped the armrest of the chair. "Men, send the empress back to Yi Kun Palace."
If this were to continue, it would only be losing the face of the entire imperial family.
Hearing that, all the soul in the Queen's body seemed to have been pulled away as she begged Old Emperor to believe her with her head hanging low.
When the Empress was sent back to the Yi Kun Palace, the news of the Old Emperor spread throughout the entire palace.
If anyone dared to speak carelessly about the Imperial Gardens just now, they would move their heads carefully.
Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing who was crossing her legs, and her gaze couldn't help but become somewhat doting on her.
"Is that the meatloaf in your little porcelain bottle?"
Wei Qing nodded.
"But how can you be sure that some animal won't come here to lick?" Xiao Qingqian played with her fingers.
"It's very simple. There are also other powders mixed in the minced meat. Animals have a sharper sense of smell than humans and they are naturally resistant to dangerous foods. Do you think that even if animals pass by, they would lick the meat?"
"Smart!" Xiao Qingqian pinched Wei Qing's nose.
Wei Qing smiled as she raised her eyebrows, "I hope the empress can learn from this lesson. In the future, don't keep your eyes on me or you will …"
"Why?" Seeing her stutter, Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"You asked even though you knew the answer."
"I don't have any. I really can't guess."
Wei Qing glared at him. She didn't believe that Xiao Qingqian wouldn't be able to guess what she wanted to say next, but she had purposely chatted with her.
Yi Kun Palace.
The Queen knelt by Old Emperor's feet, her tears forming two shallow marks on her chubby face.
"Your majesty, chenqie was only muddle-headed for a moment. After all, Wei Qing threw so many things at chenqie, what made chenqie most infuriated was the pink vase that you bestowed to chenqie." The empress said with a flick of her wrist. She looked miserable, so haggard that she looked pitiful.
Old Emperor also remembered the pink vase.
This pink vase was a pair, Old Emperor also had one, he once said —
There were a total of two pink vases, forming a pair. I am only one, and I am only one empress. Although I have to accept concubines in order to balance the dynasty, the empress is the most important woman in my life!
These words were now very far away.
If the empress had not mentioned the vase today, he would have forgotten about it.
"Your Majesty, chenqie was muddle-headed and didn't teach the crown prince well, causing so many things. "But, chenqie's feelings for the emperor have never changed." At this point, the Queen's tears once again burst like a dam that had burst.
Old Emperor looked at the sad Empress and sighed heavily.
"Empress, if you're angry at Wei Qing for being so impudent, you can tell us that we will naturally seek justice for you, but you shouldn't have done something like this, you shouldn't have done such a thing!"
"Your majesty, chenqie will definitely correct it in the future."
The Old Emperor looked around the empty Yi Kun Palace, and ordered some people to bring some things to the Queen.
The empress's tears fell as she prostrated herself on the ground. "Your majesty, chenqie was muddle-headed and unworthy of the emperor's forgiveness!"
"Alright, now that the other three kingdoms have gathered at the Capital City of the Northern Kingdom, it's not good for our family to be made public. You should pay more attention in the future!"
Originally, Old Emperor was filled with anger, but seeing the Queen acting like this, he felt that there was a reason.
Not only was the empress not severely punished, the Old Emperor even gave her a reward. This matter quickly spread to every corner of the palace.
Xiao Qingqian frowned, his face filled with cold killing intent.
Wei Qing raised her hand to smooth the creases on his forehead, "Don't frown anymore, this result is within my expectations."
"Since you already know, why don't you just do it once and for all?"
They all say that a woman in love has a negative IQ, Wei Qing felt that these words would apply to men. Xiao Qingqian was so shrewd in the past, why did he become so slow now?
"For so many years, the empress has been the head of this harem. If she didn't have that ability, she would have long died in the struggle within the palace."
The reason why the empress was able to sit at the back of the table steadily was not because of these little tricks and schemes. She felt that if she wanted to take down the empress, she had to do so step by step. It was like a slow poison.
Previously, it had been Xiao Hanqi, but today it was the Empress. Although the Old Emperor had chosen to forgive them, of course, Wei Qing did not know whether it was because Gu Nian and her husband shared the spoils or because the Northern Kingdom had more prestige.
No matter what, if the empress were to continue doing whatever she wanted in the future, she would fall into the abyss one day and die a horrible death!
