Chapter 351 Unworthy
As if the door to a new world had been opened, the emperor turned his head and looked at the queen mother.
The queen mother covered her chest very much, trembling as she looked at Zhou Qing, as if she would die of anger in the next moment.
"You are really, so brave!"
The queen mother gnashed her teeth and was furious.
"The ironclad evidence is in front of you, what else can you say? I'll give you a chance, you should give me a reasonable explanation!"
Zhou Qing looked at the queen mother and the queen, the aunt and nephew played the trick almost perfectly.
They had done everything they could.
Taking a breath, Zhou Qing said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "How can the queen mother be sure that the box contains my birthday gift?"
As soon as Zhou Qing said this, the queen laughed out of anger.
"Everyone in Kyoto knows that your birthday gift is this!"
Minghe sat there, his eyelids twitched fiercely, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Zhou Qing went to meet the Queen and said directly, "Everyone in Kyoto knows that this is my birthday gift. That's because I made a big fuss on the day I bought the raw stone. However, this does not mean that I have to give the raw stone today because I bought it that day. How can the Queen be sure that this raw stone is the one I gave?"
The Queen immediately frowned and said impatiently, "Who gave what gift? The Imperial Household Department has all the records. I naturally know."
Zhou Qing smiled, "The Imperial Household Department has all the records. According to the Queen's logic, does that mean that at this moment, someone from the Imperial Household Department has registered what gift? Waiting in the side hall? Holding the registration book in hand? "
"Of course!"
Zhou Qing looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty is wise. I, like Shen Li, love our country and are loyal. We will never do such a stupid thing that will damage the stability of the court. I am innocent. This matter is really unjust. I beg Your Majesty to redress my grievances."
After a pause, Zhou Qing said, "Since the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are guarding the side hall with the registration book, I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate whether the gift I sent and the one brought by the palace maid are the same!"
The queen's eyelids twitched and she subconsciously looked at the queen mother.
The queen mother gave the queen a look of calming down and rest assured.
The emperor hummed in an ambiguous way, and the chief eunuch immediately went to execute it himself.
The court officials and their wives were eating melons as quietly as chickens (excited as dogs).
Shen Mingzhu stared at Zhou Qing, with hatred and pleasure coexisting in her eyes.
She didn't believe that Zhou Qing could escape today.
Shi Yuexin was so anxious that her palms were sweating, but she hated that she couldn't help at all. She couldn't help but feel more disgusted with Shen Li and the Prince of Ning's Mansion.
It was said that Shen Li was working away from Beijing, but what was the truth?
When she thought of what happened in the middle of the night, Shi Yuexin was furious.
In a moment, the chief eunuch led a young eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs into the hall.
The young eunuch was holding a book in his hand. He hurried forward and greeted him. "Your Majesty, this is the registration book for this birthday gift. Everything is on it."
The emperor didn't say anything. The chief eunuch picked up the registration book and handed it directly to the queen.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
The queen's face turned green and she said angrily, "Why am I looking at this! It's not me who needs to check the accounts!"
The chief eunuch didn't hesitate at all, and turned around and sent the book to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing said bluntly, "I can't read."
The chief eunuch
Everyone
In this solemn atmosphere, these four words are particularly strange.
Shen Mingzhu sneered sarcastically, and Zhou Qing immediately looked at her, "Are you looking down on me?"
Shen Mingzhu's face froze.
The sneer she just made was so quiet that she couldn't even hear it herself.
She even suspected that the sound was not made at all.
How did Zhou Qing hear it?
Before Shen Mingzhu could react, Zhou Qing said, "Your mother slept with her brother-in-law, what qualifications do you have to look down on me!"
Everyone
The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was suddenly pushed to the extreme.
How could Zhou Qing say such rude words!
Shen He was first called a fool by Zhou Huaishan and now was stepped on by Zhou Qing like this, and he was so angry that he trembled all over, "Enough!"
Just as Shen He opened his mouth, Zhou Huaishan said faintly, "The only emperor here is His Majesty. Apart from him, who is worthy of saying these two words? Even you want to covet the throne? Would you dare to sit on it if it was given to you? Is your family surname Su too!"
Zhenguogong Mansion, surname Su.
Zhou Huaishan said something to Shen He, which frightened Shen He so much that he trembled and looked at the emperor. He also completely angered the empress dowager, the queen, the prince's party, and the second prince.
The second prince loved Shen Mingzhu, and Zhou Qing slapped Huang's face in public, which the second prince could not bear.
But the prince was one step faster than the second prince.
The prince was the first to question Zhou Huaishan, "What do you mean!"
Zhou Huaishan said calmly, "Everyone knows that in our dynasty, the queen dowager and the queen, the two noble and supreme ladies, have always come from the Zhenguogong Mansion.
And the emperors of all dynasties are the sons of the queen dowager.
So, is there a problem with what I said just now?"
The prince was blocked by Zhou Huaishan and couldn't open his mouth.
Everyone knew that Zhou Huaishan didn't mean this at all, but who dared to say what Zhou Huaishan really meant!
After Zhou Huaishan finished speaking, he deliberately stared at the prince to make sure whether the prince would speak or not, and then slowly retracted his gaze, and then reached out to the eunuch chief steward and took the book.
"Since everyone's gifts are in this book, I will take the liberty to take a look."
Opening the booklet, Zhou Huaishan glanced up and down, "In the Duke's Mansion, a piece of auspicious embroidery is presented in a chicken-wing wooden box, to the Minister of Justice's Mansion."
The queen interrupted Zhou Huaishan.
"Looking for your family!"
Zhou Huaishan gently raised his eyes and looked at the queen, "Why are you only looking for my family?"
The queen gritted her teeth angrily, "Tell me why!"
Zhou Huaishan twitched the corner of his mouth, and an uninhibited smile appeared on his honest and honest face, "The common people don't know why!
Today, on a whim, the Queen Mother wanted to see the congratulatory gifts from Cao Min's family, and she discovered the magic of witchcraft in the congratulatory gifts.
But Cao Min and Cao Min's daughter were innocent and had not done anything.
Therefore, Cao Min reasonably guessed that someone wanted to harm the Queen Mother, but the Cao Min family’s gift was taken advantage of! "
The queen's eyes widened when she heard his nonsense.
The mother of a country couldn't help but cursed in her heart: What the hell are you talking about!
Zhou Huaishan no longer looked at the queen, but looked at the emperor, "Your majesty is wise, why don't you take the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, the residence of the Minister of Dali Temple, the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the residence of Jingzhao Yin, the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the residence of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion, Duan Kangbo Mansion, check all these gifts, there is no loss anyway!”
"You are just delaying time on purpose!" the queen said angrily.
The emperor raised his hand with great interest, "Yes!"
"Your Majesty!" The Queen turned to look at the Emperor, "The Queen Mother was cursed by Zhou Qing. Your Majesty did not take the decision to investigate the matter thoroughly for the Queen Mother. Why did you let Zhou Huaishan do whatever he wanted!"
The emperor glanced at the queen coolly and did not answer the question, completely humiliating her.
The queen was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The head chamberlain moved very quickly, and in a moment he brought all the congratulatory gifts from the families named by Zhou Huaishan.
