Chapter 417 Su Wanrong was banished to the cold palace
Su Qing knew that she couldn't disobey the princess's order, so she had to bite the bullet, calm her mind, and prepare to take action. At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside, "The emperor has arrived... The queen mother has arrived..."
Everyone was shocked and terrified, and they all knelt on the ground to salute.
"Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor; greetings to the Empress Dowager, long live the Empress Dowager." Everyone's voices were in unison and trembling, sounding particularly low in this tense atmosphere.
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager both looked solemn, with their brows furrowed, as if they were carrying a heavy burden. They walked into the house with heavy steps, and every step seemed to carry invisible pressure.
The Emperor's sharp eyes were like those of an eagle, with majesty and scrutiny, quickly and accurately sweeping over everyone present. That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making people shudder, and finally fixed on Princess Shaohua. His voice was low and suppressed, as if squeezed out from the depths of his chest, and he said in a deep voice: "What on earth are you doing? This is so disgraceful! How can such chaos be allowed in this palace!"
Princess Shaohua trembled when she heard this, and she stood up quickly. Her expression was nervous and anxious, and her delicate face was full of anxiety. She twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, and in a slightly trembling voice, she carefully explained the whole story to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor's expression became even gloomier, like the dark clouded sky, and the thick haze seemed like it would turn into a downpour at any time.
He clenched his teeth, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and his eyes were filled with deep disappointment as he looked at Su Wanrong, as if the treasure he had placed high hopes on was now a pile of waste. At the same time, uncontrollable anger was burning in his eyes, and that anger seemed to devour Su Wanrong.
Su Wanrong was crying like rain on pear blossoms. Her delicate body was shaking. She said in a tearful voice, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. My true feelings for you are as clear as the sky and the sun and the moon. There is absolutely no falsehood."
The emperor snorted coldly, his tone full of chill: "The evidence is irrefutable and right in front of us, and you still dare to make such a clever argument!"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Emperor, this matter is of great importance. We need to think carefully and do not act impulsively."
The emperor nodded slightly, looked at Su Qing solemnly, with doubt and inquiry in his eyes, and asked: "Su Qing, is this method of caesarean section feasible?"
Su Qing knelt on the ground instantly, her body trembling like a leaf in the wind, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this technique is extremely risky. If you are not careful, it will end in one corpse and two lives. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
Su Qing thought to herself, "A caesarean section is easy to do, but if it turns out that the child is not the emperor's blood, it will be a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of the family! I haven't gotten rid of the Su family yet, so I really don't dare to act rashly."
The emperor pondered for a moment, his frown never relaxed, and he slowly said, "For the time being, banish Su Wanrong to the cold palace, and make a final decision after the matter is thoroughly investigated. As for the fetus in the womb, quickly summon the imperial physician to come for consultation, and make sure to find a foolproof plan. Keep a good look after that servant, and if he dares to commit suicide, kill all his clans."
When everyone heard the emperor's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Su Wanrong seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and she shouted hysterically: "Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this. I was really framed. You can't just listen to one side of the story."
The emperor shouted angrily: "Shut up! If you are truly innocent, I will give you justice."
Afterwards, Su Wanrong was forcefully dragged away by the expressionless guards.
The emperor looked at everyone with dignity and said in a stern tone: "Anyone who dares to say a word about what happened today will be severely punished!" After that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left resolutely.
The Queen Mother looked gloomy and shook her head helplessly. With the careful support of the nanny, she walked away slowly and unsteadily. The Queen followed closely behind her and also left in a hurry.
Princess Shaohua was left standing there alone, with a blank look in her eyes.
"Xiao Qing~Did I do something wrong just now?" Princess Shaohua's face was full of regret at this time, her brows were furrowed, and her lips were slightly pursed.
"Princess, you were really impulsive just now." Su Qing bowed slightly, her expression solemn, and her tone was a little worried. "How can you catch someone cheating like this? This matter should be considered carefully. If you act rashly, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."
"But I am also doing this for my brother's own good. Why does the way my brother looks at me make me feel so scary?" Princess Shaohua supported Su Qing, her body trembling slightly. "The first time I saw that look in my brother's eyes was when he was killing people.
That look was filled with coldness and murderous intent, which makes me shudder every time I think about it. Do you think my brother will do this to me...?” At this point, Princess Shaohua's voice gradually became lower, filled with fear and uneasiness.
"Princess, don't think too much. After all, you and the emperor are siblings, born of the same mother. It won't happen, it won't happen." Su Qing hurriedly comforted, patting the back of Princess Shaohua's hand. "Even if the emperor is angry for a while, he will definitely not do anything to you because of the brother-sister relationship. Princess, relax and don't scare yourself."
"No~~ Xiaoqing, you don't understand. My royal brother is a cruel and ruthless person. My father can do that... My royal brother... Alas... Why am I doing this?" Princess Shaohua's face was filled with deep worry, and her eyes were filled with endless fear and confusion. "I don't know if this will be the last time I see my mother!" She murmured to herself, her voice trembling.
Su Qing naturally knew what Princess Shaohua meant. After all, she was the one who did it herself! How could she not know the emperor's ruthlessness and determination?
This is why I am worried about the spy every day. Once it is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.
That would be an abyss from which there would be no return, and what awaited her might be extremely cruel punishment, or even annihilation. Whenever Su Qing thought of this, she felt like a thorn in her back, and the fear and uneasiness in her heart became stronger.
Su Qing helped Princess Shaohua to the Queen Mother's bedroom, but the Queen Mother closed the door and refused visitors, citing a headache.
After listening to what the nanny said, Princess Shaohua nodded and understood what was going on.
"Let's go, Xiaoqing. I did something wrong. Even my mother is going to give up on me! Haha... haha... haha... The emperor is ruthless, and the royal family is even more ruthless. It's a pity that I was born into the wrong family. Let's go back!" Princess Shaohua had empty eyes, which made people feel distressed.
Just as Su Qing was helping the princess get on the carriage, a young eunuch hurried over and said, "Princess Shaohua, please stay. Madam Xiaohou, please stay!"
Princess Shaohua was suddenly shocked, fearing that she would not be able to see her child today!
