Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

"How could it be possible that Princess An Qing was the one who caused what happened tonight? Crown Princess, please don't wrongly accuse others just for your own selfish reasons."

Before the emperor could speak, the empress, who had rushed over after receiving the news, immediately directed her criticism at the crown princess.

"Your Majesty, the matter about Old Eight is definitely not what the Crown Princess said. You must not listen to her one-sided words."

"Queen, why are you defending Princess An Qing so much? Do you know everything that happened tonight?" When the Crown Princess heard the Queen defending Princess An Qing, alarm bells went off.

"Princess An Qing is your Majesty's sister, the Eighth Prince is your Majesty's biological son, his mother is still Consort De, and Princess An Qing and Consort De are sworn sisters, how could she possibly harm the Eighth Prince?"

The Queen's expression remained calm, but what she blurted out was an accusation against the Crown Princess for slandering Princess An Qing.

"Does Her Majesty trust Princess An Qing so much?" Seeing that the Crown Princess was angry at the Queen's words, Chen Changli immediately spoke up to help the Crown Princess.

"This is not a matter of trust." The Queen said with sarcasm, "It's a matter of the Crown Princess seeking revenge for her own selfishness and trying to stir up trouble in Luoyang City."

The Crown Princess was so angry that she sneered: "If I had such ability, how could I be harmed to this extent by you."

At the end of her speech, she became furious and rushed forward to question the queen, but she almost fell to the ground after taking a few steps.

Chen Changli noticed that she had accidentally kicked the unconscious Princess An Qing, and hurried forward to support her, then called a few palace maids to support the Crown Princess.

After standing firmly, the Crown Princess was still frightened.

She patted her chest, exhaled a few times, and glared at the queen angrily: "In front of my father, you are so impatient to throw dirty water on my head. It shows that Princess An Qing's murderous move on Old Eighth was also your fault, so you feel guilty."

She didn't care why the Queen came to help Princess An Qing, she just mixed up the Queen and Princess An Qing according to her own ideas.

If the Emperor had any doubts or grudges against Princess An Qing, the Empress would be the first person the Emperor would hate.

"Crown Princess, you are getting bolder and bolder." The Queen was very dissatisfied with what the Crown Princess said and immediately stared at her sharply. "Who is Princess An Qing? How could she possibly poison the Eighth Prince? It's obviously you who harbored evil intentions and tried to sow discord between His Majesty and Princess An Qing."

Chen Changli originally thought that the Queen would only fight back against the Crown Princess, and then saved Princess An Qing for her own purposes.

Unexpectedly, in her words, even though Princess An Qing was imprisoned in the Dali Temple by the Emperor, it was because of their deep brotherly love, not because Princess An Qing was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

"Hearing what the Queen said, could it be that the story about Princess An Qing passing the news about Da Jing to the traitor Tu Yuanzhou, which led to Tu Yuanzhou attacking Da Jing, is false?"

Chen Changli found some of the Queen's words very interesting and couldn't help but mock her.

The queen's face suddenly became stiff, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Changli was as cold as ice.

Chen Changli looked calm and said with a tone full of sneer: "If a princess who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason was let off because of a few words from the queen, how pitiful would the soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield be."

"Besides, no matter how much your majesty cares about your sister, he can't condone her betraying Da Jing. As your majesty's wife, the queen is the model of a mother to the country. All the people in the world are your children. You don't care about the people of the world, but you care about a traitorous princess. How do you think those people who have suffered from the war will feel?"

The border is in turmoil, and the people living on the border have either lost their families and been separated from their wives and children, or have been displaced and are in danger of their future.

The Queen, as the mother of the country, should have been concerned about the people living along the border. How could she shield a traitor like Princess An Qing for her own selfish reasons?

When Chen Changli's mind turned to this point, he felt extremely angry. He also thought that the emperor and the empress were worthy of being a couple. When the country was about to be destroyed and the family was about to be ruined, they were still thinking about refining the Phoenix Gu.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had known the prince from the beginning, and the person he wanted to be loyal to was also the prince. Otherwise, facing an emperor who couldn't tell the priorities, he would probably learn from the traitor Tu Yuanzhou and rebel.

"You are so insolent." When the queen heard Chen Changli's angry words, she suddenly felt that her face and dignity were torn off and trampled upon.

She was a little angry and embarrassed. If looks could kill, she would have wanted to use her gaze to cut Chen Changli, who dared to refute her, into pieces.

Chen Changli was not afraid of her gaze, and said calmly: "Empress, I have something I don't understand. Please help me solve this puzzle."

He said this in a very calm tone, as if the anger brought by Princess An Qing was like a passing cloud and he didn't take it to heart.

The emperor couldn't help but look at him when he heard this, but seeing that his expression was very calm from beginning to end, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Chen Changli is indeed bold. No wonder Prince Duan has targeted him repeatedly. It seems that he has known Chen Changli's temper for a long time.

The emperor sighed slightly, then looked at the queen again, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

He trusted the queen, but all that was based on the queen's loyalty to him.

If the queen had other ideas and was determined to use him, the emperor would get rid of the queen even if it meant risking the whole world's condemnation.

"What do you want to ask? Just ask in front of His Majesty, and I will answer truthfully." Feeling the emperor's gaze falling on her, the queen clearly did not look over, but she could still clearly see that the emperor's gaze this time was full of doubt and scrutiny.

Her heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest, but she didn't dare show it. She tried her best to keep a calm face, hoping that the emperor would see her calm expression and no longer doubt her.

"So far, only the people in the Palace of Heavenly Purity should know that we brought the Eighth Prince into the palace. Why did the Empress in the harem receive the news and rush to the Palace of Heavenly Purity in time?"

What Chen Changli meant by this passage was that he suspected that the Queen was spying on the Emperor. Upon hearing this, the Queen's face turned pale and her eyes became a little vague.

Although she and the emperor had a tacit understanding, as for things like spying on the emperor, both of them just needed to know it in their hearts. If it was discovered, no matter how eloquent the queen was, she would not be able to defend herself, and the emperor would never tolerate what the queen did being exposed in public.

"Yun, you vicious woman!" The emperor took the initiative and was furious.

The queen knelt down in front of the emperor and blushed as she explained, "Your Majesty, things are not what you think."

"I am only concerned about your majesty and worried about your health, so I sent a few people to guard the Qianqing Palace."

"As for the poisoning of the Eighth Old Man, it was only after I arrived that I heard what the Crown Princess said, and I made those guesses. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, I scolded the Crown Princess. I never thought that the Crown Princess and Chen Changli would suspect me like this. Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
