Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 932 Empress Dowager Liu asks

The nanny didn’t know whether there was really a hidden story behind this matter or whether the princess was just too strong-willed.

She thought so in her heart, but her face was calm, and she said politely: "Madam Wang, the Queen Mother is not feeling well, so I want you to go to the Cining Palace to take care of her."

Concubine Wang had thought about this yesterday. After Empress Dowager Liu knew about these things, she would definitely summon her for questioning. So she was not surprised at this moment.

She replied "yes", turned to look at the wet nurse behind her, and said, "Take good care of the third prince."

"If he starts crying again, take him to the Cining Palace to see me, understand?"

Concubine Wang was mainly worried that the Third Prince would not be able to see her, so she cried for a while and damaged her throat.

The nurse said respectfully, "I understand!"

Wangpin then looked at the nanny with a smile and said, "Let's go. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting for too long."

The nanny sighed: "The Queen Concubine Wang really has a loving motherly heart towards the Third Prince."

Speaking of the Third Prince, Wangpin's eyes were filled with tenderness, and she said, "I like children. All the children in the palace are the same in my heart."

What she meant was that if she was so kind to the Third Prince, a child with no blood relationship with her, how could she murder the eldest princess who was related to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?

Of course, those who can serve Empress Dowager Liu are all smart people. This nanny understood what Concubine Wang meant, but did not express her opinion, but just led the way.

No one knew that Wangpin didn’t sleep the whole night last night.

Because she betrayed Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the Queen Mother, she was under tremendous pressure! She also had to think about how to hide it from the Queen Mother and save her life today.

Although she had prepared herself for so long, Wang was still very nervous on the way to the Cining Palace. Unconsciously, a layer of cold sweat oozed out of her palms.

finally--

Concubine Wang arrived at the Cining Palace in a sedan chair.

She was supported by Xiao Tianzi and came down from downstairs and walked all the way inside.

The closer she got to Empress Dowager Liu's bedroom, the more nervous Concubine Wang became.

But at this moment, she couldn't show anything unusual, otherwise if others saw her, it would be over...

Wangpin could only take a few deep breaths secretly and pray for her pounding heart.

The layout of the Cining Palace remains the same as before.

Wangpin came in with red eyes and knelt beside the bed to salute respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"

Although Empress Dowager Liu was cruel to the palace maids, she was always kind to those in her own camp and understood the principle of combining kindness with severity.

In the past, when concubines came to pay their respects to her, Empress Dowager Liu would immediately ask them to stand up and give them a seat.

But today, Queen Mother Liu was slow to call Concubine Wang to get up, so Concubine Wang could only kneel there.

She knew the reason in her heart, but her eyes were getting redder and redder.

It was unknown how much time had passed until Wangpin's legs began to go numb. Empress Dowager Liu looked at her and asked leisurely, "Wangpin, do you know why I summoned you here today?"

The princess was no fool, and of course she understood that the so-called attending to the sick was just an excuse.

She kept telling herself to keep calm. So from the time she entered the Cining Palace until now, Wangpin had not taken the initiative to explain.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu finally asked, Concubine Wang raised her head and looked at her, tears suddenly falling from her eyes: "I know that the Empress Dowager wants to ask about something related to the eldest princess."

"Your Highness, please be wise! If it weren't for your favor, how could I have become the foster mother of the Third Prince and sit on the throne of the head of the palace?"

"You and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion have been so kind to me, how could I plot and use the princess to do something worse than pigs and dogs?"

After listening to the nanny's story yesterday, Empress Dowager Liu felt that something was wrong. Today, she heard Concubine Wang's tearful assurance...

However, Empress Dowager Liu did not jump to conclusions. She just asked in a deep voice: "You said you didn't do these things, so why does the evidence the emperor found point to you?"

"Why did you confess your crime in Yangxin Palace?"

As her life was at stake, Wang Concubine used her lifelong acting skills, wiped away her tears and said, "Empress Dowager, it was that bitch, Concubine Chun, who framed me!"

"I used to think she was just a noble lady who came from the Western Regions and had no foundation in the palace, so I didn't guard against her too much."

"Who would have thought that she had bribed that lowly maid Xin'er without my knowledge, and worked together to set this trap for me!"

"This time, I was caught off guard and fell into their trap..."

"All the evidence points to me. I have no way to prove my innocence. If I continue to deny it, it will only make His Majesty furious! Maybe then, His Majesty will demote me in anger..."

"It doesn't matter if I lose the right to raise the Third Prince and my current position. But if I ruin the Empress Dowager's plans, won't I be guilty of a thousand deaths?"

"That is why I have no choice but to admit my fault and plead guilty to Your Majesty, hoping to calm Your Majesty's anger."

"Fortunately, His Majesty did not punish me too much for the sake of the Third Prince."

At this point, Wangpin kowtowed heavily and said, "I fell into Concubine Chun's trap this time because I was stupid. I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me!"

When Empress Dowager Liu first heard the news, she believed that Concubine Wang was framed.

It’s not that she believed that Concubine Wang was kind, but Queen Dowager Liu still had some understanding of Concubine Wang.

She was not so stupid as to set her sights on Yun'er right under her nose.

What's the difference between that and courting death?

After listening to Concubine Wang's account of the whole story, Empress Dowager Liu was already 90% convinced.

Concubine Chun is Prince Jin's person. Did she do this because of the struggle among the concubines in the harem, or was it instructed by Prince Jin?

If it is the latter, what is the purpose of King Jin doing this?

Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes, a hint of contemplation flashed across her eyes...

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Wangpin called out cautiously, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother..."

Empress Dowager Liu is well aware of the principle of giving a red date after a slap. Concubine Wang still has great value, so she won't do anything too ugly.

"I know that you have always been loyal to me and it is impossible for you to plot against Yun'er."

"Get up and give me a seat."

Wangpin's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

No matter what happens in the future, at least she has passed the first level.

After kneeling for so long, Wangpin's legs were numb and she had to be supported by Xiao Tianzi to stand up.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

The purpose of Empress Dowager Liu calling Concubine Wang over was to clarify these things. Now that the matter was clear, she explained: "I know that you have been wronged in this matter, but how can anyone in the harem not be wronged all the time?"

"You also said that Xin'er committed suicide and there is no evidence. It is useless to get entangled with Concubine Chun at this time. You can go back to Yikun Palace and copy the palace rules for the future."

Wangpin bowed her head and said respectfully, "I will follow the instructions of the Queen Mother!"
