Chapter 154: Stealing Love
At this moment, Xiao Zhengchu suddenly rushed into the room, his eyes wide open and he shouted angrily: "Yu Le, how dare you bring the wife of a guilty minister into my father's bedroom!"
This scene shocked Zhao Junning. She had never expected Xiao Zhengchu to suddenly appear. Who leaked the news? Zhao Junning had no time to think about it at the moment. She knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please calm down! I know that this is presumptuous, but I have no choice.
I beg the princess for help, hoping to find a way to clear my husband's name with her help. Your Highness has given me and my family 15 days to find evidence, but it is difficult for us to convince your majesty of my husband's innocence. If he cannot gain your majesty's trust, he will always bear the guilt and will never be able to turn things around!
Your Highness, I understand that I have offended you in the past, but what I did today was not out of malice. I know that you have always been concerned about your safety, and I also believe that your Majesty will wake up out of selfishness. Not only to save my husband, but also for the country of Wei!"
When she was moved, Zhao Junning couldn't help but shed tears. This was also Zhao Junning's most amazing point, being able to say such words in an emergency.
Just as Xiao Zhengchu was about to speak, a loud shout suddenly came: "The Queen has arrived!"
This sudden voice made Zhao Junning stunned. She secretly wondered what happened today. First, the prince came for no reason, and now even the queen came back from Xingguo Temple. With full of doubts, Zhao Junning cast her eyes towards the door.
The Queen walked in slowly with the support of Xiao Yufu. The Queen was graceful and elegant, and her every move showed her noble temperament. However, everyone present looked at each other in confusion, with questions in their hearts.
Xiao Zhengchu, Xiao Yule, Zhao Junning and Wen Yongxing all stared at the queen who looked so proud and proud. They really couldn't understand why the queen would appear at this moment. Especially Xiao Yule, she hated the queen to the extreme.
Moreover, the queen had not appeared in public for two years since she went to Xingguo Temple for training. Her sudden return today really surprised her. Could it be that Xiao Yufu had informed the queen? But on second thought, although Xiao Yufu was a little naughty and willful, she still knew the priorities of things and would not do such a thing. So who was the one who tipped off?
For a moment, all kinds of speculations came to mind and everyone fell into deep thought.
At this time, the four of them bowed and saluted, saying in unison: "Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother!/Your concubine pays homage to the Queen Mother!/Your old minister pays homage to the Queen Mother!" The scene seemed solemn, but everyone's heart was full of ups and downs.
The Queen raised her hand slightly and said softly, "No need to be polite." Then, she looked at Zhao Junning with a look full of contempt. After the four entered the main hall, the Queen looked down at Zhao Junning standing below and said slowly, "You are the daughter of General Zhao, the granddaughter of the Zhenbei Marquis and Zhenxi Marquis—Zhao Junning, right? Hmm... You are really bright and beautiful." Zhao Junning nodded slightly, then raised her eyes and looked directly at the Queen without fear.
"In this case, it is understandable that Li Ziyan gave up his position as a royal consort and married you. After all, someone as beautiful as you does have some skills. It's just a pity for my Fu'er, who suffered a great loss for no reason."
After hearing this, Zhao Junning understood in her heart that the Queen came here to vent her anger for her daughter.
Xiao Yufu, who was standing by, was flustered. She grabbed the queen's sleeve tightly and whispered, "Mother..." However, at this moment, Zhao Junning was increasingly confused by Xiao Yufu's behavior.
The queen continued, "Back then, my Fu'er and Li Ziyan were childhood sweethearts and had a close relationship. Who would have thought that someone else would steal her away? If that's the case, the marriage contract should be counted."
"It is a great blessing for Zi Yan that Your Majesty and the Princess favor him, but I have heard that this marriage contract has expired five years ago. His Majesty has clearly stated that the princess is of noble status and cannot easily marry a court official. Therefore, I really don't know where the marriage contract mentioned by Your Majesty came from!" Xiao Yule turned his gaze to Xiao Yufu, his eyes full of doubt and confusion.
