Chapter 367 The arm can't twist the thigh

The Queen Mother, who had been in a high position and had not spoken a word, suddenly knocked on the table hard, and her calm eyes became more stern.

"Lao Liu, please stop confessing randomly. The children and Wan Yan are still here. If they hear you say such things, their faces will look ugly."

Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan immediately looked at the Queen Mother, with some surprise in their eyes, but they immediately understood that the Queen Mother was helping them.

He immediately became silent.

But everyone was surprised, why is there something about the Queen Mother here?
The seventh prince, Gu Moling, narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully, with a hidden edge in his fox eyes.

Princess Cheng was very dissatisfied and clenched her hands into fists.

The Queen Mother is so annoying, she always protects Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan!
Gu Jingshan frowned and looked sideways at the Queen Mother.

"Mother, there is no need to protect King Yi anymore for this kind of thing. They are not children and they should pay the price for their actions."

The queen sat on a high seat, no longer in shock, her eyebrows were furrowed and she didn't say a word.

Seeing that Gu Jingshan didn't trust her, the Queen Mother said without blinking.

"The Ai family didn't protect them. It was indeed the Ai family who kept it a secret. When Yan'er was pregnant, someone told the Ai family as soon as possible."

"Later, Yan'er gave birth to two little girls, and the Ai family went to see them. If you don't believe it, it's your fault, but the Ai family kept this matter hidden."

No one believed the Queen Mother's far-fetched remarks.

But the Queen Mother looked sharp and no one dared to refute.

Gu Jingshan looked at the Queen Mother with a cold face, "Since the Queen Mother has known this for a long time, why did you urge them to have a child during the Flower Festival a few days ago?"

As expected of an old woman in the palace, the Queen Mother said without changing her expression: "Of course the Ai family is acting, otherwise how could they hide it for a while longer?"

Hearing this, Concubine Qi, who had been sitting dignifiedly, suddenly spoke out, lightly but very sharply.

"But that day, you said that you heard the sound of a child in the palace. You were obviously telling us that King Yi and Princess Yi have a child. Is this also for acting?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Qi coldly and spoke confidently.

"Of course."

Concubine Qi's attitude was courteous, but her words were sharper.

"I don't understand. You want to help King Yi and Princess Yi hide the emperor's affairs, and at the same time you say such things, pushing them to the forefront. It's so contradictory, can't it be justified?"

When masters compete with each other, their words are all carefully planned.

Nan Wanyan was frightened when she heard this, but neither she nor Gu Mohan was suitable to talk now.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and suddenly smashed the tea cup to the ground.

"If the Ai family didn't act like a show, would you still be able to see these two cute little girls today?"

"Aren't you just holding the Ai family's grandson, granddaughter-in-law, and great-grandson to account now?"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and the Queen Mother patted the armrest of the chair heavily. "Emperor, please see for yourself. It has just been reported that Lao Liu and Yan'er have two daughters. You have called so many people here, and in front of the late emperor, you did this to the two girls that Xi Ye met once in a century!"

"If the Ai family doesn't tell the truth today, do you still want to drag these two little girls out and punish them?!"

The Queen Mother actually moved the late Emperor out!
Gu Jingshan was furious, the Queen Mother did this every time, she would move out of the late Emperor even if she couldn't say it!
The joints of his clenched fists turned white as he looked at the unforgiving Queen Mother in front of him.

"Mother, King Yi and his wife hid the two little girls in the palace for five years without reporting them. This is the crime of deceiving the king! Even if you insist on being partial, I will severely punish King Yi and Princess Yi!"

"Okay, what the Ai family is saying now, you have turned a deaf ear to!" The queen mother stood up suddenly in anger, her eyes were red with pain and sorrow, and she pointed at the emperor tremblingly.

"Since you want to punish so much, then punish the Aijia! After all, it was all done by the Aijia!"

No matter how powerful the emperor was, he still had to worry about his biological mother's mood.

He was a filial son and could not really do anything to the Queen Mother.

"Mother, please stop saying angry words!"

The emperor suppressed the annoyance and resentment in his heart, carefully supported the queen mother's swaying body, and asked her to sit down.

"How could I punish you? You know the palace rules and your father's last wish. King Yi has two daughters at his knees, but he still kept it secret for five years. Now the whole world is saying that he was born wild. If we don’t punish them today, how will the royal family lose its dignity?”

As he spoke, the emperor's voice became softer again, "This is only the second priority. The most important thing is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you continue to make trouble like this and let me absolve them of their mistakes, where is my prestige? I can only respond to you, The punishment is not that severe.”

The Queen Mother frowned, but she stopped and said no more.

The emperor originally wanted to severely punish Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan, at least a hundred blows would be required. In this case, neither of them would be able to get away with it.

But if the Queen Mother made such a fuss, it would be inappropriate if he punished her more severely.

"Come here! King Yi and Princess Yi deceived their superiors and violated the late emperor's last wish. They each gave eighty big boards!"

Nan's eyes were slightly playful, and he finally picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After all, the arms can't twist the thighs, not to mention they are not right.

Ordinary men will be killed or injured if they take eighty blows.

No matter how good Nan Wanyan's medical skills are, she is still a delicate woman. If she is beaten with a stick for eighty years, it will be a question of whether Nan Wanyan can survive.

Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan looked at each other, and Nan Wanyan was about to speak.

Suddenly, a milky voice spoke first, "If you want to be beaten or punished, just come at me!"

Everyone looked towards where the sound came from, and saw the little girl with pigtails standing up, looking at the emperor, and spreading her hands to block Gu Mohan and Nan Wanyan behind them.

"Grandpa, don't hurt them. Everyone is responsible for what they do. They all come to me."

Another little girl with a bun also stood up timidly, also protecting Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan.

"Me, if my sister and I make grandpa unhappy, please punish us. Don't hurt my mother and the others..."
