The emperor personally supported her, which made Yan feel a little more proud and confident.

She gently wiped the tears from her face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this concubine just came from Concubine Ning. Today is the day when the morning and evening are settled, and she didn't come. The concubine thought she had just entered the palace and didn't understand the palace. She reminded her kindly of the rules in the school. I never thought that Concubine Ning would be so proud of being favored. In front of many servants, she would not salute her concubines, contradict them, and let her maids beat Rong Hai and Nanny Chi. .Your Majesty, you have to decide for your concubines!"

She lowered her head slightly, but she didn't see the emperor's brow furrowed slightly.

The Empress Dowager placed the teacup heavily, "How could such a thing happen?"

When the queen mother spoke, the Yan family became even more dependent.

"Yes! Empress Dowager. Rong Hai, Nanny Chi, and all the servants can testify for the courtiers and concubines."

Rong Hai and Nanny Chi knelt down and said in unison: "Your servant can testify to the empress."

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the princess entered the palace for one day, and you made her a noble concubine. The Ai family didn't care about it. You spoiled her and spared her sleep, and the Ai family didn't say anything. But, she is so defiant. , the emperor can't ignore it!"

Guo Heng understood Yan's intentions, and smiled lightly: "Queen, you are being serious. Although Adela is young, she is the princess of the Southern Border Kingdom after all, and she understands the rules."

Yan Shi was young and couldn't hold her breath anymore, her voice was filled with grievance, "Your Majesty, do you mean that my concubine wronged her?"

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is that even if Dali Temple decides a case, you should always listen to what the defendant has to say, right?"

The Yan family was eager for the emperor to say this, and quickly said: "The emperor is right, my concubine is not afraid to confront her."

The Empress Dowager said: "Since the Empress said so, let the Concubine Ning come over, and the Ai family will ask her personally. She has been in the palace for so long, and the Ai family has not seen her yet!"

"Queen mother, the noble concubine is suffering from a cold. I was afraid that she would pass on her illness to you, so I didn't let her come to pay your respects. Wait for her to recover in two days before coming back. What do you think?"

Yan said: "Your Majesty, have you been deceived by Concubine Ning? The concubine sees that she is not suffering from a cold, but is injured!"

"Injured?" The queen mother had already received news of Ninghe Gongnao's assassin, but the emperor said to keep it a secret, so she couldn't speak rashly.At this time, the queen mentioned that she immediately sat upright and said seriously, "Your Majesty, how did Concubine Ning get injured? Could it be that there are assassins in this palace?"

Seeing her expression, Guo Heng seemed to know everything, and thought, don't you all know everything?

He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said lightly: "Why did the queen mother say that? The palace is so guarded, how could there be assassins? Adela is from southern Xinjiang. She liked to dance with spears and sticks since she was a child. She just accidentally injured her arm. I was afraid that she would scare the queen mother, so I kept it from you and didn't let her come to greet you."

"But that's not what the imperial concubine said. She said..."

Guo Heng glanced at Yan Shi and smiled faintly, "Queen, do you trust Concubine Ning Gui or Zhen?"

The queen quickly said: "Of course the concubine believes in the emperor."

Guo Heng didn't speak any more, and lowered his head to drink water.

The queen looked at the queen mother, who nodded slightly at her.

The queen stood up, went to the emperor, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, even though Concubine Ning is from southern Xinjiang, she is already a concubine in the palace, so she has to abide by the rules in the palace. She didn't come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother today, and even contradicted the concubines. Senior, my concubine thinks that the emperor must punish her for her crimes, so as to make an example to others."

Guo Heng looked at Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and the queen mother who was staring at him next to him, knowing that he had to give them an explanation today.Thinking of Adele who bit him last night, he licked the corner of his mouth, let out a deep breath, and taught her a lesson.

Thinking of this, he helped the queen up, "The queen is justified, and those who do not obey the rules should be punished. Shuiyun, go to the Ninghe Palace to pass the decree, Ning Guifei Adela, who has no respect for her elders, contradicts the queen, and does not obey the rules." According to the palace rules, move to Meifangyuan to think about the past. Considering that she is injured, allow her to bring two personal maids. Go!"

"Yes."
