"Your Majesty, the Horse Master is indeed my distant relative.

But it was not because you favored me, your distant relative, that you allowed Ma Zhangshi to enter the palace.

When I first entered the palace, the money I was given to be in charge was awarded by the emperor himself. Has the emperor forgotten about it?

Since the money already belongs to Ma Zhangshi, should I ask who she spent it on?"

In just a few words, Ma E explained the contradiction that was originally directed at her.

Remove all the dirt from yourself.

She said this tenderly, and casually glanced at the eldest princess sitting in the corner.

I felt relieved when I found that he didn't show any angry expression after being provoked.

She didn't want to lose the Pei family, which controlled the military power of the Zhao State.

But Ma E didn't expect that her actions, which she thought were covert, were keenly noticed by the Sixth Prince below.

The Sixth Prince followed Ma E's gaze and glanced at the eldest princess who was kneeling on the ground with her eyes lowered, with murderous intent in his heart.

As expected, he was right. The bitch Ma E actually had a close relationship with the Pei family.

It seems that today's original plan of killing two birds with one stone turned out to be successful!

The emperor on top suddenly realized and suddenly remembered that one day before, Ma E did ask him to have her family members come to the palace to accompany her.

"Yes, my beloved concubine is right. I now remember that the reward money in your family's hands was indeed given by me personally."

After the emperor finished speaking, he leaned back casually on the large dragon throne, not caring about the expressions of the empress dowager and the sixth prince below.

Just after the emperor finished speaking, the empress dowager's expression changed slightly.

Who would have thought that the emperor would love Ma E to this extent?

He actually took the initiative to call Ma E's mother's family into the palace to accompany her.

The empress dowager stared at Ma E, and the hint of murderous intent in her eyes gradually turned into hatred.

It was all because of this woman that her relationship with the emperor has not been repaired until now.

The Sixth Prince continued to carefully observe the expressions on the eldest princess and Pei Ding's faces.

It was discovered that even after knowing that Ma E was acquitted, the two did not show the slightest sign of relief.

He sneered in his heart, humph, she's really good at pretending. She has a close relationship with Ma E to begin with, but it's amazing that she could remain calm after smoothing over her words.

Humph, no wonder father is so wary of Duke Xin.

And there is Princess Jiashan, who is obviously his aunt, but she is just an idiot who helps outsiders.

The emperor patted Ma E's shoulder in a soothing manner and wanted to take over the matter vaguely.

As for Pei Ding, the Duke of Xin who had been wronged and assassinated, he didn't even think of saying any words of comfort.

Pei Ding was his brother-in-law, so in front of Pei Ding, he didn't have to be humble and humbly to express his condolences like he did with other court officials.

But the Queen Mother could not let the Emperor have his wish, she covered her mouth slightly and coughed: "Emperor, these eunuchs have only found these things, they are too useless.

How can I give an explanation to Duke Xin if I'm so perfunctory? "

The Queen Mother said this deliberately. She didn't want the bitch Ma E to get away with it so easily by just acting like a spoiled brat.

The emperor had no choice but to turn his gloomy eyes to the young eunuch kneeling on the ground and asked: "Is this all you found?"

The young eunuch's eyes turned around in panic, and he kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we have also found the letters between this assassin and the head aunt of the Imperial Concubine!"

As the young eunuch spoke, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve. Behind him, the empress dowager's men pushed the aunt in charge of Ma E in.

As soon as the head aunt came in, she knelt on the ground and wailed, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty.

The Royal Concubine really did not order me to look for the assassin. This was all my own decision. Your Majesty, please spare my life!

Please don't make things difficult for the Imperial Concubine, Your Majesty. It's all my fault!

It has nothing to do with the Empress!"

The eldest princess, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly when she heard this.

Although this person was crying out for himself, one always felt that he was trying to flatter Ma E.

It's really hard not to doubt.

It seems that the aunt in charge has been bribed a long time ago.

When the eunuch beside the emperor saw this, he immediately gave a look to the young eunuch below, indicating that he should present it to the emperor.

But the emperor was obviously extremely impatient. He stood up and snatched the paper from the eunuch's hand.

The Queen Mother on the other side couldn't help but look at Ma E who didn't react at all and said in a deep voice: "Now that there are witnesses and evidence, why don't you kneel down?"

The Queen Mother's scolding seemed to have frightened Ma E, and she walked down from the dragon throne in a seductive manner.

She knelt obediently before the emperor, showing him her snow-white, slender and soft neck.

The emperor was so angry that he personally reached out to help Ma E up, and looked at the empress dowager with a little resentment: "Why are you so fierce, mother?

The Imperial Noble Consort is still young, how could she have experienced such a scene?

What can the current evidence prove? "

These remarks made the Queen Mother so angry that her head ached. What did she mean by "Ma E is young"?

Are you blaming her for being such an old nosy person?

The Sixth Prince standing aside also frowned silently.

My father’s favor for this imperial concubine is really too much!

When his mother and father had just got married, they had never been loved like this.

The emperor lowered his head and continued to look at the words on the paper.

All I saw was a complete account of his daily life and work schedule over the past half month.

Spy on him?

But if the assassin really wanted to monitor him, why would he suddenly turn around and assassinate Pei Ding?

This obviously doesn't make sense!

The emperor was not stupid. He had been on the throne for a long time. With a little thought, he could guess that someone was trying to frame his beloved concubine.

Taking advantage of the situation, he dragged the Pei family into this.

However, the real reason was that the emperor did not believe from the bottom of his heart that his beloved concubine would treat him like this.

So his eyes moved around to Pei Ding, the eldest princess, the queen mother and the sixth prince one by one.

He knew clearly the grudges between these people.

Even in front of the Empress Dowager, Pei Ding was accused of some unfounded crimes, which were all staged by him personally in front of the Empress Dowager.

Not to mention the Sixth Prince, most of the conflicts between him and the Twelfth Prince and the Crown Prince were instigated by him.

Although the two had teamed up to deceive him, now that he had the twelfth prince who could compete with the sixth prince, things were not out of his control.

He had been on the throne for a long time, and had mastered the art of policy to perfection. The more fiercely his subordinates fought, the happier he was.

When he sets up the game, he naturally hopes that all the chess pieces in the game are under his control.

So, he would not believe that this incident had nothing to do with the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince.

Although he wanted to add more fuel to the fire for both parties.

But these people cannot openly cause trouble in the palace where he lives!

When the emperor thought of this, his eyes grew colder.

He already had the result in mind, but he thought about it and realized that the purpose of the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince doing this was to suppress Pei Ding in the future.

There was still a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"So you think that the assassin today was sent by the Imperial Concubine?"
