Chapter 962: Another Accident, Admit It or Not
"Empress, my wife wanted to brush Princess Yuan'an's fallen hair, but Princess Yuan'an turned her head in a panic and bumped into my daughter-in-law's fingertips!" Shao Wanru was calm and unhurried. 's replied.
"You..." Princess Yuan'an was so angry that her orifices were filled with smoke.
"Princess Yuan'an, why are you panicking? Could it be that I'm going to beat you in front of the Queen?" Shao Wanru laughed and said, "This was completely an accident, and it was an accident that Princess Yuan'an took the initiative to bump into."
"The Empress, is it possible that you should punish your daughter-in-law for such an accident?" Shao Wanru turned around and the Empress said softly.
The Queen's face was as dark as water, and she was so angry that she wanted to grab the cup at hand and throw it out, but the reason in her heart forced her to endure it. If what happened before was an accident, what happened now was indeed an accident.
She had just concluded that what happened to Princess Yuan'an was not intentional. At this moment, she could not say that Shao Wanru did it on purpose. It was indeed Princess Yuan'an who tilted her head and the scratch on her face was caused.
Yuan An is not a useless person. I don't know if he can help his son in the future, or if he will be a hindrance to his son. If he had known that no matter how hard he picked at that time, he might not have found a more suitable son.
Princess Yuan'an's behavior and behavior have already made the Empress angry. With Princess Yuan'an's behavior, the Empress cannot tell now that this was intentional.
The hall fell silent, and the Queen's eyes fell coldly on Shao Wanru's face, with anger visible.
Princess Yuan'an couldn't help but grasp the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands, bit her lip, and felt panicked and confused. It was obviously not like this, but she couldn't give a reason to prove otherwise.
Just like the Queen, with the previous "accident", the current "accident" can also be explained, unless the previous thing was also intentional.
"Since it was an accident, it's better not to hurt the harmony. You two will just love each other from now on!" After a while, the Queen said slowly.
"You should act according to the wishes of the Queen!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and agreed very softly. A palace official came over to help her stand up and sit down on one side.
After the scene just now, the Empress would not really think that Shao Wanru was gentle.
Princess Yuan'an was unwilling to give in. The empress's behavior of pressing down both of them almost confirmed that she had evil intentions, or that her brother's beating was in vain.
Since the fight was in vain, the party must be at fault.
"The Queen...my second brother is wronged!" Princess Yuan'an did not stand up, but looked at the Queen with tears in her eyes, full of expectation.
When she faced Shao Wanru for the first time, she couldn't lose.
"Princess Yuan'an means that what your good second brother did was right, and his dirty words were also right? There was also Third Young Master Wen at that time. If the Queen wants to know what Second Young Master Qu said, To what extent do you mean to degrade Prince Chen’s palace, please invite the third son of Prime Minister Wen to come into the palace to investigate!”
Shao Wanru knew that Princess Yuan'an would not acknowledge the matter so much, so he smiled slightly and took up her words.
And belittled Prince Chen’s Mansion?
The Empress wished she could give Princess Yuanan two slaps in the face, that sick and dying child, but could the beloved of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager be belittled?
If it was just Shao Wanru's matter, it would be okay, but if it really got involved with Chu Liuchen's matter, not to mention that the Queen Mother would not let him go, even the emperor would reprimand him.
This precious son
Daughter-in-law, will it really help my son?
"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. Second Young Master Qu should be punished for talking nonsense!" said the Empress.
She knew clearly that she must not be partial at this time.
"The Empress, that is my second brother!" Princess Yuan'an didn't believe that the Empress actually said that, she said sadly, tears falling down one by one.
Her second brother, who would later become King Zhou's wife-in-law, was humiliated, and it was also King Zhou who lost face.
Princess Yuan'an reminded the Queen to notice that there was still King Zhou's face in this.
"You are outrageous. Even if the prince breaks the law, he will still be held accountable!" The queen's face darkened and she said sternly. She didn't like such an ignorant daughter-in-law very much!
This matter is not a good thing at first glance. It must be related to his son. Yuan An is really useless and does not have the magnanimity to be ranked in the middle palace in the future. Looking at it like this, it seems that the emperor’s concubines have suffered. This is what it looks like when you cry to yourself for grievances.
Every time at this time, the queen looked down at them. Even the concubines were still concubines. As long as they were concubines, they could only cry like this.
But Princess Yuan'an was the concubine she chose for her son. How could the future crown princess and empress lose her dignity so much that she was worse than Princess Chen on the other side.
In terms of appearance, Princess Chen looks smaller and softer. Now she is reasonable and generous. She looks like a royal concubine, while Princess Yuanan looks like a concubine.
How could the Queen be so happy when the two were compared and judged?
"Queen, it's not good, it's not good!" A eunuch hurried in, sweating profusely.
"What's the matter?" the Queen Mother said displeasedly, her Fengyi Palace should indeed be tidied up, what else could happen if everyone is making such a fuss!
"His Royal Highness Chen Wang broke Master Qu's hand!" the eunuch said, wiping the cold sweat from his head.
"What?" Princess Yuanan swayed and almost fainted.
"What's going on?" The Queen asked anxiously after being stunned for a moment, with a headache. This matter is something that can't be ignored now.
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen came from Prince Chen's Mansion and met Mr. Qu Er at the palace gate. Without saying a word, he had Mr. Qu's hand broken, saying that he wanted to avenge Princess Chen!"
The eunuch said.
"Chen...how did King Chen know this?" The Queen quickly turned back to look at Shao Wanru.
"When I entered the palace, I sent someone to tell His Highness that His Highness also knew about my daughter-in-law's previous trip to pick out clothes. Originally, he wanted to accompany my daughter-in-law there, but only let her go there after something happened. I’m going there, I told you to inform His Highness when I come back!”
Shao Wanru said in a very orderly manner.
His expression was natural, without any trace of panic, as if he meant what he said.
"You...you...how could you go so far?" Princess Yuan'an was filled with grief and anger. One of her thoughts caused her second brother to break his hand. This was her second brother. Although he was not very advanced, It's great for her.
"Princess Yuan'an said something wrong. It's not that I'm exaggerating. I just told His Highness the matter. I didn't expect that His Highness would meet Mr. Qu Er. It's probably Mr. Qu who made His Highness angry again! It must be like that. When my words came out, not only was I angry, His Highness was also very angry."
Shao Wanru's face
His expression was very helpless.
In a word, Qu Xinghong committed the crime himself and has nothing to do with others!
Princess Yuan'an was so angry that her silver teeth were almost broken. If the Queen hadn't been here, she could hardly control herself and pounced on Shao Wanru, scratching her hateful face.
"Does the Emperor know about this?" The Queen ignored them and continued to ask.
"Someone has already gone to report to the Emperor and the Queen Mother!" the eunuch reported.
So the Emperor and the Queen Mother already know about this!
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, suppressed the anger surging in her heart, and stood up, "Let's go, go to the Queen Mother's office with me, and let the Queen Mother comment on this matter!"
She can't suppress this matter now, and she can't suppress it. It concerns her son, so she can show her fairness and decency by letting the Queen Mother handle it.
She is a queen and the queen of a country. She cannot favor her son, so that the emperor and the queen mother can trust her more!
"Yes!" Shao Wanru said softly.
Princess Yuan'an supported the palace man's hand to stand up, gritted his teeth, and followed behind the Queen.
The group of people went to the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother together.
When they arrived at Cining Palace, they reported it to the Queen Mother, who then walked in with Princess Yuan'an and Shao Wanru.
The Queen Mother was sitting on a large chair. When she saw them coming in, she just raised her eyes with an unhappy look on her face.
After the Queen sat down, Shao Wanru and Princess Yuan'an knelt in front of the Queen Mother. No one from the palace came to help them, which meant that the Queen Mother did not spare them the courtesy.
"Queen, what is going on?" The Queen Mother asked the Queen slowly, ignoring the two kneeling men.
"Actually, it was just an accident. Young Master Qu fell down the stairs and almost hit Princess Chen. However, she did not actually hit Princess Chen. Princess Chen asked a maid to slap Young Master Qu a few times. Princess Yuan'an and Princess Chen The princess had a quarrel, and they both went into the palace to find me for comment. Unexpectedly, King Chen beat Mr. Qu Er at the palace gate!"
The Queen sighed helplessly and simply told what happened.
Shao Wanru's eyes were slightly lowered, but his eyes were cold. The Queen's words sounded wrong to him.
What he said was very interesting. He and Chu Liuchen were both unreasonable and beat up people one after another!
"The second young master of Qu Xing, Hong Qu, although he is unimproved, must be the direct grandson of the eldest princess Ruiping. He was beaten by Princess Chen and King Chen one after another, and now his arm is broken. It's really not very good. good!"
After the Queen Mother finished talking about the cause and effect, she frowned slightly and said.
"Princess Chen, is this true?" The Queen Mother turned to Shao Wanru and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, this is indeed what happened. My granddaughter-in-law was frightened at the time. She thought that someone was deliberately ruining her reputation in order to harm His Highness, so she ordered the maid to beat Mr. Qu regardless of Qu. Whether the second young master meant it or not, under the circumstances, it is true that he bumped into my granddaughter-in-law. If he really bumped into me, my granddaughter-in-law might have to die to apologize!"
Shao Wanru did not refute the Queen's words, and continued very calmly. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his expression was respectful but did not make people feel weak.
At this moment, she will not be weak, let alone hinder Chu Liuchen!
It is clear at a glance which one is more serious, a broken arm or a life.
