”I was originally innocent. I only relied on a bunch of random people to slander him. Why do I have to prove it? Or could it be that the empress likes to listen to the slanderous words of others before framing her own family? ” Mu Ru Yue's attitude was calm. Once she said that, the empress's expression became even uglier.
”Alright.” Seeing that the two of them were quarreling, the emperor chided, ”Seventh Princess, as a junior, you disrespected the empress. This is your fault, do you recognize it?”
”Mu Ru Yue admits her wrongs.” After saying that, Mu Ru Yue knelt down. Seeing her act this way, the Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he said, ”Since you are admitting your wrongs, from today onwards, I will punish your Duke's Mansion to close up for a month. No one is allowed to summon you.”
”Yes.” Mu Ru Yue was stunned. 'What's going on?'
”Your majesty!” The empress couldn't take it anymore. The emperor coldly swept her a glance before he said, ”We will have the people of the clan investigate the matter of the Phoenix Tail Zither missing. If they find out, they will not forgive us. As for the Crown Princess's gift, you should change it for now. ”
”Yes.” The empress was still unwilling, but since the emperor had already spoken, she didn't dare to say anything else. They hadn't thought that they would just stop pursuing the matter. Furthermore, the matter regarding Mu Ru Yue that Princess Die Xiang had mentioned earlier?
”Butterfly Xiang.” The Emperor looked at Princess Die Xiang and called out.
”This subject's daughter is here.”
”You are speaking nonsense and disturbing the audience. This Emperor punishes you. From today onwards, you are to eat and recite Buddhist chants by the empress dowager's side. You are not to walk freely within the palace.” Princess Die Xiang's face paled as soon as the Emperor finished speaking. She was about to speak when she was frightened by a cold gaze from the Queen. She didn't dare to speak. He could only reply.
And this result was something that no one could believe. Shouldn't this matter be investigated to the end? What kind of medicine is the Emperor selling in his gourd?
Even the empress was incensed, much less the officials.
They should have started with the investigation of the missing Phoenix-Tail Zither in order to lead out the entire series of frame-up against Mu Ru Yue, but the result? The Emperor was actually making peace? What could escape his eyes in this palace?
The emperor clearly knew about her movements these past few days, but she still did it!
The Queen thought to herself, unable to quell her anger.
”I'm afraid you won't be able to see the reward you wanted. ”Today is a joyous day, I shall give you a chance to renew your request.” The emperor looked at Qin Shijing and said. When Qin Baijing heard this, he said with a twinkle in his eyes, ”I heard that the Princess was in the arena that day and her melody was amazing. I think... May I ask for the princess consort to play that song? ”
Qin Baijing's words brought everyone back to their senses.
It had to be known that this was what the empress meant just now.
The emperor looked at Qin Shijing and could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He only asked, ”Are you sure?”
Qin Baijing nodded and stared straight at the emperor. After a long while, the emperor nodded and said, ”Seventh Princess, are you willing to fulfill this wish of yours?”
This Qin Shijing was really from the empress's side! As Murong Yue thought this, she couldn't help but worry for Princess Wuyou. However, she still stood up and said, ”In reply to your majesty, Mu Ru Yue is willing. However, I hope that you can borrow the zither. ”
Mu Ru Yue walked out as she spoke.
Everyone looked at Mu Ru Yue with disbelief. He didn't expect that she would actually dare to do it. If she did, the matter of her stealing the Phoenix Tail Zither would be implemented. Feng Chen looked at Mu Ru Yue, who had agreed to Qin Qian's request on her own accord, and felt extremely flustered in her heart.
