After some salutes, Cao Bin was about to speak when Empress Dowager Liu interrupted him directly.

Then, he reprimanded sharply:

"You are too presumptuous and bold! You actually threatened Zhaoyang to take you to see Aijia, don't you know the etiquette of foreign ministers?"

It was also the first time for Cao Bin to meet the Empress Dowager Liu alone, and he didn't know her temperament.

Seeing that she was well maintained, she thought she was a peaceful old woman, but she was very angry, and she gave Cao Bin a lesson when she first came up.

Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but help her forehead a little. She already knew her mother's temper. Cao Bin's request to see her was just asking for trouble.

Chen Shimei was a little gloating at first, but when he saw his mother-in-law getting angry, he couldn't help being a little frightened.

Although this temper was not against him, it was also worried that it would harm the innocent.

Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but give him a blank look. Although my mother was angry, it wasn't against you. What are you worried about?

Haven't seen Cao Bin, the person concerned, are you not afraid at all?

Cao Bin originally wanted to pave the way, but he was no longer polite when he saw this, and cupped his hands and said:

"The empress dowager forgives the sin. The servants found some special treasures in the Xiangyang palace. They were supposed to be dedicated to the empress dowager as a token of loyalty."

"Since the Empress Dowager doesn't like it, I'd better offer it to the officials..."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly changed her face, and said quickly:

"Come in with Ai's family!"

After speaking, he got up and walked into the side hall. Cao Bin smiled and followed quickly.

The two princesses couldn't help being a little surprised. What's going on?They couldn't understand it at all.

"Tell me, what did you find in Xiangyang Palace?"

Entering the side hall, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly turned around, stared at Cao Bin closely and asked.

Cao Bin laughed and said, "Queen Mother, what is the reason why Queen Zhang passed away ten years ago, I don't need Cao Bin to say more..."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly lost her luck, stared at Cao Bin fiercely and said:

"You want to use this matter to threaten Aijia?"

"Don't forget, the Ai family is the emperor's aunt!"

Cao Bin shook his head and smiled, "How dare Cao threaten the Queen Mother? He just wants to cooperate with the Queen Mother..."

......

After half an hour, Cao Bin followed the queen mother out of the side hall.

Empress Dowager Liu pretended nothing happened, and said with a smile:

"Monkey cubs are used to whetting people's appetites. Your gift is not bad. The Ai family likes it very much."

The two of Zhaoyang looked at each other, not knowing what happened in the side hall, which would change the Queen Mother's attitude drastically.

But Empress Dowager Liu didn't have the heart to entertain them anymore, she waved her hand and said:

"Zhaoyang, the Ai family is going to meet the emperor, you two go back first, and come to see me next time."

With that said, she turned around and went to the bedroom, and ordered someone to change her clothes.

Princess Zhaoyang looked at Cao Bin in surprise and said, "You really convinced the queen mother?"

Cao Bin laughed and said, "The Empress Dowager is merciful, Cao Mou is moved with emotion and understands reason, and finally made her old man feel sympathetic."

Princess Zhaoyang was stunned, a little in disbelief, her mother was not such an easy-talking person.

After a while, the Queen Mother had changed clothes and came out. She ignored Princess Zhaoyang and called Cao Bin and said:

"Come with Ai's family, first go see Concubine Pang."

Concubine Pang's sleeping hall has been sealed off, and there is no one in the courtyard, deserted and deserted, only the faint voices of people in the Zhengbei hall.

At this time, Concubine Pang ushered in Li Meiren's revenge again, and she had gotten used to it after so many days.

However, today is very different, because the Pang family is about to be executed.

That's why Li Meiren's mood is extraordinarily carefree, and her face is full of spring breeze.

"Sister Pang, are you happy? Why don't you smile?"

Concubine Pang was full of despair, how could she laugh?I just feel that life is hopeless and the time of death is approaching.

Seeing her like this, Li Meiren's face immediately turned cold and said:

"I am happy today, but you are so sad, come here, beat me to death..."

Today, she no longer has any scruples, and Ponzi is gone.

Even if Concubine Pang really died, no one would investigate it carefully. It can be said that she committed suicide in fear of crime.

Hearing this, the confidant eunuch immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves, and laughed ferociously.

Concubine Pang looked at the approaching eunuch, feeling chills in her heart.

At this moment, an old and majestic female voice came in:

"Li Meiren, didn't you just have a miscarriage? You have the strength to act like a boss here! Who gave you the courage?"

Then, with a "bang", the door was kicked open.

"Too... Queen Mother!"

Seeing the Empress Dowager who hadn't seen her for a long time appeared, Li Meiren was taken aback, knelt down quickly, and explained in a panic:

"Queen Mother, it was the Pang family who caused the concubine to be separated from her flesh and blood, and the concubine couldn't bear it..."

Cao Bin was next to the queen mother, and saw Concubine Pang's face was red and swollen, her eyes were sunken, her expression was haggard, and several slap marks were clearly visible.

Immediately, some anger rose, and he couldn't help pulling the Queen Mother's skirt.

Empress Dowager Liu glanced at him with some distaste, and didn't listen to Li Meiren's excuses, so she drank coldly:

"Bold, how dare you speak stubbornly in front of Ai's family? Come, give me a slap in the face!"

Just as the eunuch was about to step forward, Cao Bin jumped out first and shouted: "I'll come..."

Li Meiren is a bit stupid, the queen mother is so violent?

I have difficulties, have you listened to my explanation?

Before she could react, Cao Bin had already stepped forward and slapped Meiren Li twice.

She let out a miserable scream and almost flew up.

It was Cao Bin's intention to restrain his strength, otherwise he would have killed her with a single slap.

At this time, Concubine Pang also noticed Cao Bin, and said in surprise: "You are a talented person, why do you..."

Concubine Pang thought she was hallucinating, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief and said:

"Juncai, why did you enter the palace?"

Cao Bin glanced at Li Meiren who was slapped to the ground, covering her face and crying, and shook her wrist and said:

"I'm here to expose Li Meiren's conspiracy!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Concubine Pang up and said, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

For several days, Concubine Pang was lonely and helpless, and suffered all kinds of bullying.

When I saw Cao Bin now, I felt like I saw my relatives, and couldn't help crying.

Empress Dowager Liu curled her lips and reminded impatiently:

"Okay, don't cry, this is in the palace, pay attention to etiquette."

Concubine Pang stopped crying, wiped her tears, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

At this time, Li Meiren also noticed Cao Bin's clothes, covered her face and asked sharply:

"You are not an eunuch in the palace! Who are you? How dare you hit me..."

Before Cao Bin could speak, Empress Dowager Liu said coldly:

"It was the Ai family who brought him into the palace, are you not convinced?"

Li Meiren suddenly lost her temper, and cried with grievance: "Queen Mother, I have been wronged!"

Empress Dowager Liu ignored her, turned around and said to the old eunuch beside her, "Bring the emperor here!"

Seeing that the old eunuch was about to leave, Cao Bin hastily added:

"Old man, don't forget to call an imperial doctor first, and then go to the imperial dining room to order something to eat!"

The old eunuch looked at Cao Bin speechlessly. Do you think that I, an old man, knows how to split a body? This is the imperial palace, so you are too impolite?

However, the address of the old gentleman is quite comforting, so he told the other two young eunuchs:

"You go to the imperial hospital and the imperial dining room, and follow Uncle Zhongjing's orders."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but look at Cao Bin, but Concubine Pang's heart was very ironic, and her eyes became moist again.

It's really been too hard these few days, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I am often retaliated by Li Meiren.

Physically and mentally, it has been extremely uncomfortable.

After a while, the two young eunuchs had already brought food and the imperial doctor over.

First, he treated Concubine Pang's beatings, and then put the food on the table, letting her fill her stomach first.

There was no decent food for several days, Concubine Pang was a little gobbled up, and she choked up again while eating, and asked:

"Juncai, have my father and the others been killed?"

Now that the sun has passed noon, it stands to reason that the execution time has passed.

She put down the bowls and chopsticks, and cried, "It's because I acted too hard that I hurt them..."

Cao Bin quickly stopped her and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already asked Mr. Bao to suspend the execution."

As he spoke, he became very serious, and said righteously:

"Your Majesty, you have no guilt, you didn't do anything at all, why blame yourself?"

Concubine Pang looked at Cao Bin in astonishment, seeing his determination, she immediately reacted.

This is to reverse the case for himself, so with some joy, he nodded quickly and said:

"Juncai, I didn't do anything."

"It's all framed by this bitch, Meiren Li!"

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu nodded with satisfaction.

Li Meiren has already panicked, so blatantly "colluded confession", the queen mother is clearly with them.

Just when her mind was spinning rapidly, the emperor hurried over.

After saluting each other, Li Meiren hurriedly threw herself into the emperor's arms, crying:

"Help the officials, Queen Mother, Queen Mother... I can't live anymore!"

The emperor looked at the slap marks on Li Meiren's face, and said angrily, "Who did that?"

Just as Li Meiren was about to identify Cao Bin, Empress Dowager Liu said, "The Ai family beat me!"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said: "Queen, Li Meiren just had a miscarriage and is weak..."

Empress Dowager Liu sneered and said, "Xiaochan? The Ai family sees that she is very strong!"

Before the emperor could speak, Empress Dowager Liu continued:

"Didn't the emperor thoroughly investigate the relationship between the Ai family and King Xiangyang?"

"How can even a beautiful Li be able to coax you around? It seems that your Imperial City Secretary is also very incompetent."

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly looked at Cao Bin.

Only Cao Bin knew about the investigation of the Empress Dowager by the Imperial City Division.
