Concubine Lu leaned against Ling Tianyin's arms and cried.
Her hot tears rubbed against the back of his hand, and she was helpless.
"Your Majesty, if I had known this earlier, my concubine would no longer follow you into the palace. If this place is like a dragon pool and a tiger's lair, Shen'er would be killed at any time. Why didn't the concubine and you know each other in the first place!"
This sentence carried Concubine Lu's sorrow for so many years, and when it was repeated, Ling Tianyin also frowned in discomfort.
Ling Tianyin grabbed her shoulders tightly: "Xiangfu, I don't allow you to talk nonsense, all along, I have not done well enough, and I have neglected you and Shen'er, but I will never do this in the future, and I will never let others. Hurt your mother and son by half!"
He raised his handsome eyes, which contained determination and determination.
"I passed on my will, and the Zhong family bullied the king without thinking. She has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and she is no longer worthy of being the mother of the world. Today, she will be deprived of the post, and she will hand over the phoenix seal, demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace!"
Empress Zhong was shocked.
She stared at Ling Tianyin in a daze: "Your Majesty! How dare you treat me like this? I am the empress you appointed back then! I am the daughter of the Zhong family!"
Ling Tianyin's eyes were very strange.
He protected Concubine Lu, who was sobbing weakly, and his tone was cold: "Ms. Zhong, I have given you many opportunities, but you have overstepped again and again, relying on the Zhong family to misbehave, and now, even poisoning the prince. come out!"
Empress Zhong was making her last struggle: "That's slander and frame-up! The concubine never did it!"
Ling Tianyin was furious: "As long as I want to investigate, do you think you can escape?! It's a fact that you ban your own daughter and don't give food and drink. It's also a fact that you instruct the palace servants to poison them. Your evil has already been exhausted!"
He stared at Empress Zhong, with blue veins showing on his forehead: "It's already kindness for me to save your life."
Concubine Lu leaned against Ling Tianyin's arms, with tears in her eyes, but looked at Empress Zhong indifferently.
The queen took the blame for herself, and she had no mercy at all.
At this moment, the Guards, who had just gone to thoroughly investigate the officer's errand, also rushed back.
Not only did they come back, they brought someone with them.
Ling Tianyin frowned: "Who is this?"
Gu Nuoer blinked her long eyelashes: "It's the old gardener from Zhongfu!"
The gardener tremblingly greeted him: "Caomin is a craftsman in Zhongfu who is responsible for cultivating flowers and plants."
Ling Tianyin narrowed his eyes: "What are you doing here?"
"Come to confess what Caomin knows and sees, all the things that Zhongfu accepts bribes."
The Guards stepped forward and whispered beside Ling Tianyin: "Your Majesty, this is just an insider, and I have followed the people who have been contacted by the official and clerk, and found that he will loot the silver taels almost every month. Take out more than half of it and send it to the Zhongfu."
"Furthermore, the gardener from the Zhongfu said that just the day before yesterday, he saw this official entering the Zhongfu, but he didn't want to send money, and he didn't know why."
Ling Tianyin sneered when he heard this.
What's not clear about this?
"What can he do? Naturally, he thinks that Nuo'er has usurped power, and went to tip off the Zhong family!"
Therefore, just now, the queen arrested someone and wanted to throw dirty water on Gu Nuo'er!
But I never imagined that the feng shui would take turns, and today, Queen Zhong was the one to be unlucky!
Shooting yourself in the foot, stealing chickens will not lose rice.
The Guards added: "Master Zhong is also waiting outside the door and wants to explain to the emperor in person."
Ling Tianyin laughed: "Is it an explanation or a sophistry? What I heard today, whether it's the Zhong family or their Zhong family, is enough!"
