Chapter 275 Please, Queen, Clear My Name
Fang Qingge was filled with grief and indignation, and his accusations were like cries of grief. The entire hall seemed to be filled with weeping.
"A woman's innocence is so important! If I had been so depressed that I did not come to ask the Queen to redress my grievances, but instead committed suicide..."
Fang Qingge couldn't continue speaking here. She choked up and picked up the handkerchief to wipe her tears.
When the emotions calmed down a bit, a sad voice exploded in the ears of the Queen and the others.
"How are our two young children, me and His Royal Highness, going to cope with the future?
They will be accused of slandering their biological mothers with baseless accusations and will be unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be ridiculed behind his back by people who do not know the truth because of Qingge's death.
Qingge asked the sky with grief and indignation. I just want to ask these people, why are they putting the blame on the East Palace?
You say that Qingge stole someone, then who did I steal?
Queen, the prince has only been gone for a few days. I don't know what I did wrong. I was forced to death.
Please ask the Queen to give Qingge justice."
*
"That's unreasonable!"
Queen Qin slapped the phoenix chair and listened to Fang Qingge's tears while suppressing her anger.
She never imagined that the East Palace would be in chaos as soon as the prince left.
When she heard Fang Qingge say some vulgar words like "putting the blame on others", she didn't care about having her ears dirty and blamed him.
Thinking about Zhao Yaxue, this brainless niece, who had actually gone to the point of blatantly accusing the prince of being a cuckold.
Her anger suddenly flared up.
Pointing at her maid Xia He, she ordered sternly,
"Go, tell the Crown Princess."
"Yes, I obey your command."
*
Just as Xia He was about to go out, the maid's report came from outside the door.
"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, the Crown Princess requests an audience."
Queen Qin slapped the armrest of the Phoenix Chair again.
"Xuan."
"Here."
Soon, Crown Princess Zhao Yaxue and Nanny Yun hurried in.
Seeing Fang Qingge kneeling on the ground, she pursed her lips, knelt on the ground with a plop, and took the initiative to say,
"Aunt, please understand. Fang Qingge is disrespectful and disobedient. She even beat up several servants in my Zhaoling Palace.
She was even more arrogant and domineering, and even threatened me with a wave of her fist and a frown. Aunt, it’s really too frustrating for Yaxue to be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace! Woo woo woo…”
"Shut up! You still have the nerve to cry. I want to ask you, have you questioned Fang Liangdi about her affair?"
"Wuwuwu... Aunt, there are rumors about this matter. Yaxue doesn't know whether it is true or not. The show of power tonight was all Concubine Zhang's idea."
Queen Qin was troubled by Zhao Yaxue's crying. She waved to her personal maid Liu Ma.
Madam Liu stepped forward and said,
"Crown Princess, please stop crying. The Queen has been unable to eat and sleep for several days and nights because of the Crown Prince's trip to Jiangnan City."
When Zhao Yaxue heard this, she immediately stopped talking.
At this time, Queen Qin said in a serious tone,
"You also know how frustrating it is to be the Crown Princess? Have you ever thought about the reason? Something happened in the inner courtyard of the East Palace, didn't you investigate it first?
Instead, you convict people without asking any questions. Don't think I don't know your little tricks.
I won’t say much about Fang Qingge’s character. But I don’t believe that he cheated on me.”
When the Crown Princess heard this, she quickly argued,
"Aunt, I wanted to clarify this matter tonight, but Fang Liangdi just started a fight over a disagreement. She refused to obey discipline and hurt the people in my yard.
Li Liangdi and the others, as well as the servants in my Zhaoling Palace, have all seen it. Please understand. Give Xueer authority. "
Queen Qin was a little disappointed.
But when he saw his beloved niece crying so hard, he softened his heart and said,
"You all stand up and answer."
"Here."
The Crown Princess was helped up by Nanny Yun. Fang Qingge was also helped up by Nanny Jiang.
*
The Queen said to the Crown Princess,
"Tell me the whole story of this matter."
Seeing that the Queen was willing to listen to her explanation, Zhao Yaxue wiped her tears, bowed hurriedly and began to speak.
"Yes, aunt, it all started when Qiulan, the head maid in my courtyard, overheard it on her way back to the palace. I'm not lying.
Please call Qiulan in, she is waiting outside the door."
"pass."
Qiulan came in tremblingly, and when she saw the Queen's stern face, she fell to her knees on the ground.
He stammered,
"Your Majesty, I am not lying. I just heard someone hiding in the rockery whispering."
The Queen Mother said nothing, but to Madam Liu,
"Concubine Zhang and the others should be here too, right? Let them all come in. I'd like to see who has the guts to interfere."
"Here."
Seeing the Queen's tiredness, Madam Liu said to the outside of the door,
"Concubine Xuan Zhang, Concubine Li Liang Di, Concubine Lu Liang Yuan, Concubine Qian and the palace maids will come to see the emperor together."
As soon as all the women in the inner court of the East Palace arrived,
Their little thoughts seemed to be written on their faces.
For the Empress, who was used to seeing the emperor's concubines using even more aggressive tactics, it was simply unbearable to watch.
"Tell us all! I don't want to hear any nonsense."
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty the Empress."
After Queen Qin took drastic measures, the truth came to light.
A trivial matter was turned into a major incident that almost killed someone because of the evil intentions of a few people.
Queen Qin looked at them with dismay and said,
"This is what you did! You disappoint me so much!"
A heavy sigh struck the hearts of the Crown Princess and the others, and they were so scared that they fell to the ground and dared not say a word.
*
Queen Qin turned her head and glanced at Fang Qingge, and said comfortingly,
"Fang Liang Di has been wronged this time! Madam Liu, go and fetch me the consecrated Buddhist beads and give them to her as a reward."
Queen Qin watched Fang Qingge accept the thank you letter and said no more. A wise person doesn't need to say much.
Turning around, she spoke in a stern voice,
"Juan'er, the head maid in Concubine Zhang's courtyard, was beaten to death as a warning to others."
When the senior palace maid Juan'er heard this, she was so frightened that she suddenly fell sideways, trembling all over and begging for mercy.
"Empress, please spare me, please spare me! Wuuuuu, Concubine, Concubine Zhang, please save me, please save me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die."
Before he could say a few words, several old women came up and covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Queen Qin looked down at the Crown Princess and Concubine Zhang who were playing dumb and said sternly,
"Crown Princess Zhao Yaxue knelt in the ancestral hall for three days to reflect on herself. Concubine Zhang Yuying knelt in the Buddhist temple and copied Buddhist scriptures for a month.
The prince has just left, and you guys are already causing all this trouble. You are really capable! Get out of here!
I hope this is the last time I worry about the affairs of the East Palace. If anyone is looking for trouble, the cold palace is still in need of a few companions. "
Upon hearing this, several women in the inner courtyard of the East Palace were so frightened that they knelt down again with a plop, their heads almost hitting the floor.
