Princess Zhaoren was the mother of the Anping County Lord. Last year, the marriage proposal of the Anping County Lord was ruthlessly rejected by Meng Yuan. As a mother, Princess Zhaoren was naturally also shameless, and she must have hatred for the Xuan Wangfu's mansion. Therefore, Zhao Ling was not at all surprised that Princess Zhaoren would say so at this time.
Since Princess Zhaoren made such a suggestion, although Empress Duanjing felt it was a little inappropriate, it was inconvenient for her to raise objections.
At that time, when Emperor Ming first assumed the throne, when the political situation was unstable and the steps were difficult, he received the strong support and assistance of Princess Zhaoren. Therefore, the status and prestige of Princess Zhaoren in the DaZhaog Dynasty was self-evident.
Emperor Ming also respected his own imperial sister by a great margin, and Empress Duanjing naturally did not dare to push aside her opinions too much.
After pondering for a while, she gave the order. "Come here, put the eldest lady of the Zhao family in the Heavenly Prison temporarily, and take the prince's wife to the side hall and hand her over to the imperial physician for treatment. Tonight's matter will continue to be thoroughly investigated, and we must find out the truth."
Anping County Master stood behind Princess Zhaoren, and upon hearing the order of Empress Duanjing, a look of pride appeared on her cold and pretty face, and she gave Zhao Ling a condescending glance, her attitude was extremely arrogant, but deep in her eyes there was a deep look of pride. Strong jealousy.
How could this woman be so favored by King Xuan, who had always been unfeminine? Thinking of the arrogant and cold man's dismissive attitude towards her, she felt heartbroken.
She swore that one day, she wouldl make the man who disdained the world bow down under her feet.
Zhao Ruo knelt down beside Zhao Ling, her head bowed, a sneer on her face, after her successful trick.
Zhao Ling, what a situation she got herself into today. This trick of the Anping County Lady was really effective. In this life, she would bear the name of a witch, and shr would never come out of the prison. At this moment, she felt that the wound on her back was less painful.
Several eunuchs and court ladies led the way. Several palace maids carried Zhao Ruo to a nearby side hall, and handed her over to the imperial doctor who rushed over to treat the wound on her back. Several eunuchs were responsible for arresting Zhao Ling and taking her to the Heavenly Prison in the palace.
Princess Zhaoren and the Empress both spoke up, although Ning Yan and Fu Yuechan were anxious in their hearts, they were helpless.
Zhao Ling couldn't think of a way to escape for a while. She thought in her heart, since she didn't have the strength to fight hard, she could only go to jail for a few days and make a long-term plan. She didn't admit that she knew magic tricks, and for the sake of the Duke's Mansion and the Prince Xuan's Mansion, forgive them and they didn't dare to do anything to her without solid evidence.
She said coldly to a few eunuchs who were close to her and wanted to reach out to fight, "I'll do it myself without bothering the father-in-laws."
Standing up, she smiled slightly at both Ning Yan and Fu Yuechan, still looking as usual and acting calmly.
Just when she turned around and was about to leave with the eunuchs, she suddenly sensed a cold and familiar anger from afar.
"Who dares to touch this king's woman!"
It was Meng Yuan's voice! How could he go and come back?
Zhao Ling followed the prestige and saw Chang Dong pushing the wheelchair, coming here at a much faster speed than usual. Meng Yuan was still sitting in the wheelchair with his back straight, his usual cold an?d unwavering face was vaguely eager.
The two, master and servant, did not look sideways, and went straight to Zhao Ling's side. Meng Yuan habitually took Zhao Ling's hand, looked up at her, and asked with concern, "Ling'er, are you alright?"
Zhao Ling patted the back of his hand, smiled at him gently, and shook her head gently.
Meng Yuan grabbed her hand a little harder, raised his eyes and glanced coldly at the people around him, and finally stopped on Empress Duanjing, and said in a deep voice, "I dare to ask the empress why you want to put this king's future concubine in the heavenly prison"
Queen Duanjing had never seen Meng Yuan look so cold and severe. Usually, when Prince Xuan saw her, although the expression on his face was also light, at least his attitude was still respectful, and he still had the proper etiquette. But now, even the greeting wss exempted, and anyone could see that he was angry.
Princess Yaohua was accustomed to being arrogant. Seeing Meng Yuan's attitude towards her mother, she couldn't help but scolded: "Bold, how dare you be so rude to the empress. Lord Xuan, don't you know, your future? The princess is a witch, and she used witchcraft to hurt people just now, so my mother put her in the heavenly prison, lest she use witchcraft indiscriminately and hurt others."
Hearing this, Meng Yuan looked at Princess Yaohua with cold eyes that could freeze, and he said word by word: "Princess Yaohua, you'd better keep your own mouth, if someone dares to talk nonsense in the future, say This king's future princess is a demon girl, and this king will make her unable to speak again."
Everyone present was aware of King Xuan's temper and knew that he had a unique personality. After hearing this threatening remark, they did not dare to open their mouths for a while, for fear that King Xuan would be unhappy and his tongue would be cut off by him.
Princess Yaohua ate a humble pie, and her pink and pretty face turned pale for a while, but she did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Meng Yuan. She cried out in grievance, "Queen Mother." She hid behind Empress Duanjing, although she glared at each other, she didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing Meng Yuan being so disrespectful, no matter how good-tempered Empress Duanjing was, she couldn't hold back her face for a while, and her tone became severe.
