Chapter 207 Lying
"Twins? I would like to congratulate the Empress on her pregnancy and Nong Wa on her double happiness."
Fu Mengli bowed slightly and said in a neutral tone.
Shen Ningyue lowered her eyelashes and smiled faintly, then raised her eyes and looked directly at Fu Mengli with burning eyes and said softly:
"Thank you for your 'good words', Sister Zhipin. Regardless of whether I am carrying a prince or a princess, as long as the heir is safe, healthy and grows up strong, I think Your Majesty will be the same as I am and will not be unhappy at all.
There are now eight princes in the palace. Although they are young, they are all very strong.
Your Majesty has no shortage of princes who can inherit the ancestral temple and great cause as alternatives. As the queen mother of Dayong, I don't need to worry about the inheritance and continuation of the Dayong royal family.
However, when my sister, Concubine Zhi, saw me and heard the news that I was pregnant with twins, she asserted that the Pepper Palace wanted to celebrate Nong Wa's double happiness with malicious intent, and the palace maids and eunuchs present all knew it.
I can understand and sympathize with Sister Zhipin's resentment about the Fifth Prince falling into the water. Sister Zhipin was very sensible not to ask me directly when she came in."
Shen Ningyue raised her hand slightly to signal the palace servant to invite Fu Mengli to sit down and serve tea, and then continued:
“The Fifth Prince said that it was this palace’s Mingyue who pushed him, but this palace’s Mingyue said that it was the Fifth Prince who pushed her. She didn’t push him, but she didn’t stand firmly and fell into the water.
Both sides hold their own opinions. As Mingyue's biological mother, I tend to believe Mingyue's opinion.
If I were to let my people interrogate you, my sister Zhipin would definitely feel dissatisfied, and it is understandable that she would suspect that I am biased towards her own child.
Therefore, I sent all the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving at that time to the Ye Ting. After the Ye Ting Ling interrogated the palace maids and eunuchs, it would become clear who was right and who was wrong. "
“As for Mingyue, the Fifth Prince has indeed suffered a great crime, and I have already confined her to her room.
And your majesty, I heard the news that the fifth prince fell into the water in the Pepper Room and immediately sent someone to report to your majesty. Sister Zhipin, why don’t you sit in the Pepper Room for a while? Your majesty will be here soon. "
Shen Ningyue hoped that big things could be reduced to small things and small things could be forgotten. Faced with her daughter's flickering eyes and guilty look, Shen Ningyue did not completely believe her words.
However, in the short term, Shen Ningyue did not have the energy to pry open her daughter's mouth and make her tell the truth.
"Your Highness, what you said is reasonable and well-founded. If I continue to make trouble, it will be unreasonable. But I want to see Princess Hengshan first. Is that possible?"
Xiaoji ran in from outside, nodded slightly to Shen Ningyue, then lowered his eyes and stepped aside, thinking about what had just happened.
After Xiaoji brought Fu Mengli to the room where the fifth prince was, he did not stay to chat with Fu Mengli and her son, but returned to Shen Ningyue, and was sent to Princess Hengshan's room by Pu Jie.
"Your Highness, Aunt Pujie said that the Queen does not believe what you said. Please tell me the truth. Was it you, Your Highness, who pushed the Fifth Prince? Why did you push him?" Xiaoji said bluntly.
Qin Mingyue buried her head in the quilt and did not answer.
"Your Highness, although the Queen is a little harsh on you, you are her biological child and her eldest daughter. How can she not stand by you? You must believe that the Queen cares about you!"
"do not know."
"Your Highness, please tell me!" Xiao Ji dug Qin Mingyue out of the bed and kept pursuing her. He finally got the answer after talking so much.
"I pushed Qin Mingzhang, but he was the one who pushed me first, at the stone steps. Later, I took him to play in the fish pond, and I pushed him behind the flowers when no one was looking."
Qin Mingyue wiped away her tears and said pitifully.
Because the Fifth Prince was not seriously injured and no major disaster had occurred, Xiaoji did not actually care about the right and wrong between the two little princes. He just treated it as children's play and did not allow the princess to play with the Fifth Prince in the future.
But the fact that the princess had concealed the truth from the queen made her even more concerned.
Is it because the Queen Mother gave birth too frequently and neglected Princess Hengshan's feelings?
Xiaoji rubbed the head of Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue, and asked her if she was sure that no one saw that she pushed the fifth prince.
After getting a positive answer, Xiao Ji told Qin Mingyue over and over again that it was the Fifth Prince who pushed her first. He pushed her once on the stone steps, and everyone saw it.
Later, when the two of them went to pick flowers from the bushes by the pond, the Fifth Prince pushed her again, but failed to push her and fell into the pond himself.
Repeat it over and over again, asking Qin Mingyue to remember it until her mouth is dry.
"Your Highness, do you remember it?"
"remember."
"Your Highness, this is not something you are asked to repeat. Just remember it. If anyone asks you, just say that the Fifth Prince pushed you first and you pushed him back. Your Highness did not lie."
Xiaoji blurred the fact that Princess Hengshan deliberately took the Fifth Prince to the edge of the pond and pushed him into it, and only connected the fact that the Fifth Prince pushed Princess Hengshan with the later fact that Princess Hengshan pushed the Fifth Prince.
