Chapter 351 Argument
Seeing Madam He and He Wan crying and snotting, Prime Minister He felt disgusted, but he couldn't just ignore what had happened.
After a scolding, he left the house. This matter must be informed to Lan'er in advance, so as to prevent the Queen from holding on to it.
At this moment, Shang Zhanchen had already told the Queen the whole story, and the Queen was furious.
"How ridiculous! How dare you say that my things are hers? You are so bold." The queen's chest heaved with anger.
I didn't expect that Mrs. He would be so arrogant. Even if she didn't care about her own things, Yi Yi was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion after all.
The future Crown Princess actually falsely accused her of stealing in front of so many people. She really doesn't care about the royal family.
"Mother, please calm down. I think this matter might alarm Father."
They should know that today's incident will not end well. If he guessed correctly, He Yuan would definitely ask Concubine Lan for help.
They will definitely ask the emperor to act as a middleman, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the queen mother at this time.
"So what?" The queen looked angry.
He framed her daughter-in-law and smashed her mother's belongings, which showed that he obviously did not take her seriously.
If she lets it go this time, where will her dignity as the queen be? Wouldn't Imperial Concubine Lan become even more arrogant?
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Sun walked in from outside.
"Your Highness, Eunuch An is here and said the Emperor wants you to come over."
“……”Queen.
I glanced at my son beside me, and found that Chener had really guessed it right. I didn’t expect them to be so quick.
Don't think that the matter can be resolved by inviting the emperor. This matter concerns her and Yiyi's reputation.
If he just let it go like this, how would he establish his authority in the palace in the future? Even Yi Yi would be looked down upon.
When the Queen and Shang Zhanchen arrived at the Imperial Study, they saw the Right Prime Minister He Yuan and Concubine Lan there, as well as the Left Prime Minister Shen Ze.
I don’t know what they said before, but now they all have gloomy faces.
"I have met the emperor."
"My son has met my father."
"Well, everyone, please sit down." The emperor nodded at the queen and Shang Zhanchen, then looked at He Yuan again.
"The Right Prime Minister has already told me about your bracelet. I wonder what the Queen thinks?"
When I heard about this before, I was also very angry. A lady from the prime minister's mansion actually framed the crown princess.
He also smashed the Queen's mother's belongings. If it were someone else, he would have been thrown into jail.
But his status as the Right Prime Minister was there, so he couldn't ignore his face, not to mention that Imperial Concubine Lan also came to help talk.
Even though I was unhappy, I still had to give him face, but I was really angry about this matter.
He also had to consider the queen's feelings and see what she thought about the matter.
"You are the Crown Princess, but you were falsely accused of stealing in front of so many people, and you also broke my mother's belongings. Your Majesty, how do you think I should feel?"
The queen's face also darkened. Don't think that this matter can be covered up by finding the emperor.
Seeing that the Queen was planning to pursue the matter, He Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, knelt before the Queen, and performed his great ceremony.
"I have failed to manage my household properly, and I broke my mother's belongings, and I have wronged the Crown Princess. I am here to apologize."
He Yuan knocked his head heavily to the ground. Although he was unwilling, he had to compromise at this moment.
After all, the Queen Mother's relics were broken. This matter could be a big deal or a small one, so all I can do now is to bow my head.
The Queen did not expect that He Yuan would give her such a generous gift. It seemed that he was trying to settle the matter peacefully.
If I continue to insist on it, I will seem petty, but if I just let the matter go, I will feel unwilling.
Just as I was thinking about it, Shang Zhanchen's voice came over.
"It's unfair! It's easy for the Right Prime Minister to say that, but my Crown Princess was falsely accused of stealing by your Madam in front of so many people.
Where is the face of the left prime minister! Where is the face of our royal family!" Shang Zhanchen's voice was cold.
He glared at He Yuan with dissatisfaction, thinking that he could just invite Concubine Lan and his father over and apologize and the matter would be solved.
His mother was in a difficult position to talk to, but he had to speak up. He couldn't just let his Crown Princess suffer such grievances.
"..." He Yuan's body stiffened.
Although the prince is not the emperor yet, the tone of his voice and the pressure he exuded made him panic uncontrollably.
Even the emperor didn't feel this kind of oppression, which made him feel tight in his heart. He always felt that today's events would not end well.
He secretly glanced at Concubine Lan, and Concubine Lan immediately looked at Shang Zhanchen with a smile.
"Your Highness, what you said is very serious. Madam He just identified the wrong bracelet. How can it be related to the reputation of the royal family?"
Concubine Lan looked relaxed, and then turned to look at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, although it is heartbreaking that my sister's bracelet broke, Madam He did not do it on purpose.
I didn't know it was my sister's bracelet. I think it would be better to just let it go. It would also show my sister's generosity."
Although Concubine Lan spoke calmly, she was actually quite angry in her heart. That mother and daughter were a pair of idiots.
No matter how much you want to deal with the Crown Princess, you shouldn't frame her in front of so many people. That's really stupid.
"According to Concubine Lan, if someone falsely accuses you of stealing, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to apologize."
"You..." Concubine Lan gritted her teeth in anger.
He glared at Shang Zhanchen with dissatisfaction. This kid rarely participated in this matter before. He didn't expect that his words today would be so sharp.
"..." Shen Ze said nothing.
He sat there like an old monk in meditation. When he heard about this before, he was also very angry.
No matter what, Yiyi is still his daughter. He actually falsely accused her of stealing in front of so many people, which clearly shows that he doesn't take him seriously.
I had wanted to argue with the Emperor today, but judging from the current situation, neither the Queen nor the Crown Prince has any intention of settling down the matter peacefully.
Then there is no need for me to say anything more, just wait and see.
Seeing Shen Ze sitting there as if nothing had happened, Concubine Lan's eyes flashed with displeasure.
"Left Prime Minister, today's events were all caused by the Crown Princess. What do you think of this?"
She had a serious look on her face, but she was full of sarcasm in her heart, thinking, "Cunning old man, you still want to hide away in peace."
"Your Highness, I will follow the arrangements of the Emperor and the Empress on this matter." Shen Ze bowed to Imperial Concubine Lan.
He acted as if he was letting you guys take charge of the matter. With the Queen and the Crown Prince protecting Yi Yi, what else did he need to say?
“……” Concubine Lan.
He glared at Shen Ze with dissatisfaction. This old fox was cunning, but he shouldn't think of hiding in peace.
“We can’t blame Madam He for what happened today. If Madam Shen and Second Miss Shen hadn’t said that the Crown Princess didn’t bring the bracelet when she came,
Madam He would not mistakenly think that the bracelet was hers. If this matter is brought up, Madam Shen and Second Miss Shen have an unshirkable responsibility."
Concubine Lan looked at Shen Ze sarcastically and said, "Don't think you can act as if nothing happened."
"..." Shen Ze's hands tightened.
He almost couldn't maintain the expression on his face. He was so angry that he cursed the Wan mother and daughter as idiots.
Even if you dislike Yi Yi, you can't help outsiders frame her. Don't you know that it is a disgrace to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
But no matter how angry you are, you have to control yourself and not let others laugh at you.
