The emperor asked for some more details.

After hearing what his subordinates said, although the emperor heard his subordinates confirm that it was Prince An, he still had some doubts in his heart.

After the man left, the emperor called the commander of the secret guards and asked again.

"What's going on in the capital these days?"

Hearing the emperor's words, the commander immediately replied.

"In reply to the emperor, something has indeed happened in the capital recently..."

After the commander finished talking about these things, he mentioned the Zhu family again.

"Mrs. Zhu is in the prison, crying and making a fuss every day..."

When the emperor heard that Zhu was crazy, he frowned.

"Is Zhu really crazy or just pretending to be crazy?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician and doctors have all checked and found that he is indeed crazy..."

The commander reported the news from the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.

I heard that the concubine of the Ningyuan Earl's son had drugged his wife with safflower and made Gu Rong unconscious.

The emperor laughed.

"This is quite interesting. Zhu's daughter didn't do anything cruel, but the daughter of the Duan clan did something so cruel?"

As he laughed, the emperor's face turned ugly again. Duan's daughter had committed such a cruel crime, what about Concubine Duan and the others?

"My lady, this is bad..."

After hearing what the palace maid said, Concubine Duan's face looked extremely ugly.

"How could Duan Zhen be so stupid? To do such a thing. And Duan, why didn't she discipline Duan Zhen properly? This matter has spread so widely now, it will harm the emperor and me..."

Concubine Duan was furious in the palace and immediately sent people to the Ningyuan Marquis's residence and to Duan Zhen's home...

When Mr. Duan, Mrs. Duan and Old Madam Duan heard the news, they were also shocked.

"How could Zhen'er do such a thing?"

Mr. Duan looked at Mrs. Duan.

"How did you educate Zhen'er to let her do such a vicious thing..."

Old Madam Duan and Mr. Duan scolded Madam Duan harshly.

Madam Duan never expected that her daughter would do such a thing. She sent people to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion to inquire about the news and apologized to Madam Duan and her husband.

"Now you go to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. No matter what, you must obtain the forgiveness of Mrs. Gu and Minister Gu..." When Old Lady Duan heard what the palace maid sent by Concubine Duan said, she was extremely anxious.

Before they set out, Censor Duan and Madam Duan arrived with their men.

The Zhu family received news that Old Madam Zhu, First Madam Zhu, and First Master Zhu went to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.

Seeing her granddaughter sleeping, Mrs. Zhu burst into tears.

"Rong'er, wake up and look at your grandmother."

Gu Rong woke up for a while, but was too weak and went back to sleep.

Now that they heard the truth, Old Madam Zhu, Madam Zhu and others were extremely angry.

"Mother-in-law, you must not forgive Aunt Duan for this matter. Rong'er has suffered a lot..." Old Madam Zhu and Old Madam Gu were talking.

Master Zhu was also talking to Minister Gu.

Duan Zhen was slapped several times in the face, his clothes were stained with blood, and he was beaten with twenty sticks in front of everyone. He pretended to be unconscious and was sent away to be treated by the imperial physician.

"Daughter-in-law Ye, Zhen'er was wrong. Now she has been punished..." Madam Duan apologized to Gu Rong with a guilty look on her face.

Mr. Duan also apologized.

Seeing her brother, sister-in-law and mother apologizing to Old Lady Gu and Minister Gu, Duan felt very uncomfortable. But in this situation, she could only endure it.

Minister Gu was very angry and Old Madam Gu also had a cold face.
