My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 254 Confrontation in front of the palace
The atmosphere in the imperial study room was thrilling, and Ning Bin in the Yaoguang Palace was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

She had just received a secret report from the eyes and ears outside the palace. Princess Hetai and the Shen family had entered the palace to file a petition. The emperor was currently meeting with those people in the imperial study.

Ning Bin broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of the consequences she might face if her whereabouts were exposed.

She knew very well what the person next to her was most taboo about. With her actions, she had touched the bottom line of Emperor Qianyuan. Since her disfigurement, she had lost her Sacred Heart. If she offended His Majesty again, all her plots would eventually come to nothing. Eastward flow.

Just as I was sitting on pins and needles, my confidant, the palace maid Luo Qin, ran in with a panicked look on her face and said, "My Lady, Eunuch Chang Sheng is here and said that Your Majesty would like to ask you to go to the imperial study."

Ning Bin's eyes went dark, and her whole body felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

She tightly grasped the arm of the harp beside her, with a fierce look in her eyes, "Tell Aunt Hua that when she gets to the palace, she will bear all the blame for her sins, and I will guarantee that her three generations of descendants will be prosperous and wealthy."

"Eunuch Debao, go to Fengyi Palace immediately and ask the Queen to come to the Imperial Study Room and tell her that I am in trouble and must be rescued. If she dares to stand by and watch, don't blame me for being in trouble."

Ning Bin forced herself to calm down and became calmer.

"Mother Nian, go to the Fuguang Palace and take the Sixth Prince and the Fifth Princess outside the Royal Study. Tell them that if Your Majesty wants to severely punish me, my mother-in-law, there is no need to plead for me. Just cry. The harder you cry, the more miserable you are. The better.”

After giving all the instructions, Ning Bin let out a heavy breath and immediately returned to her normal demeanor. She followed Eunuch Chang Sheng to the imperial study room with a smile.

"Father, I haven't seen your Majesty for a long time. I wonder why your Majesty called me here today? It happened so suddenly that I didn't even have time to dress up properly."

On the way, Ning Bin pretended not to know and approached Mr. Chang Sheng.

Eunuch Chang Sheng's expression remained unchanged, "I'm just here to convey a message. I don't dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. I guess it's because Your Majesty hasn't seen Ning Bin for a long time and is thinking about you."

"Really? That's great. I thought Your Majesty had forgotten me."

Ning Bin pretended to be happy and smiled shyly.

Eunuch Changsheng smiled but did not answer. This master was also flexible and good at acting.

I just don’t know whether Empress Ning is better today, or whether she is superior to Princess Tai, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Neither party is a fuel-efficient person, so Sajia just sees it as a show of excitement.

Ning Bin was well aware that Eunuch Chang Sheng was notoriously tight-lipped, and trying to pry out information from him would undoubtedly be in vain. In this case, it would save her the trouble of talking, and the two of them stayed in silence all the way to the imperial dining room.

Because the scars on her face had not yet healed, Ning Bin came to see the saint with a veil on her face, revealing only a smooth forehead and a pair of beautiful eyes.

"I have seen your majesty. I wish you peace, eldest princess."

Entering the Imperial Study Room, Ning Bin did not look sideways at the others and only saluted the two people with higher status than herself. "Get back on your feet. My beloved, do you know why I called you here?"

Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and asked in a very ordinary tone.

Ning Concubine's eyes showed resentment, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty has not stepped into Yaoguang Palace for several months. How can I know your thoughts?"

Emperor Qianyuan pointed at Shen Wei who was kneeling in the palace, "Do you recognize this girl?"

Ning Bin's pupils shrank, but she pretended to be frightened and shouted in horror: "Ah... Your Majesty, this is a human or a ghost, I was scared to death."

Emperor Qianyuan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, "My beloved concubine really doesn't recognize her."

Ning Bin shook her head repeatedly, looking overly frightened, "I have never seen this person before. Her face is really impressive. If I have seen her, I will definitely recognize her."

"This is Shen Liangyuan from the former Prince Qi's residence, the third young lady of Mr. Shen's family. She pointed out to me that it was you who sent people to save her from the fire and water, but today the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Shen, was poisoned by her in the Shen family. Conspiracy, Miss Shen San also testified that she was ordered to do it by you. What does my concubine have to say about this? "

Emperor Qianyuan asked calmly, his face was calm, showing no emotion or anger.

"Shen Liangyuan?" Concubine Ning asked with a confused look on her face: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, isn't the Miss Shen San whom King Qi accepted earlier dead long ago? Who is this girl from? Who is she? Are you going to pretend to be Miss Shen San?"

"My beloved, all you have to do is answer me, was it your fault that Shen Liangyuan died in the sea of ​​fire and faked his death? And was it your instigation that she poisoned Mr. Shen today?"

Faced with Ning Bin's evasiveness, Emperor Qianyuan did not tolerate it and asked clearly again.

Unexpectedly, Ning Bin burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty, even if this woman is really Shen Liangyuan, I am not related to her, so why should I save her? How to save her?"

Ning Bin argued aggrievedly: "As for the fact that she was ordered by my concubine to poison and frame the prince's wife? This is even more nonsense. If I really want to do such a secret thing of killing people and silencing people, , he must be looking for his confidant, someone who will not betray the concubine, right? And Shen Liangyuan and Mrs. Shizi are biological sisters, and the concubine is not a fool, so she would be stupid enough to find such a person to frame the Shen family? How can that be true? Aren't you just giving the handle to others?"

Princess Hetai snorted coldly: "Ning Bin is indeed very eloquent!"

Ning Bin lamented and said: "I know that the Crown Prince's wife has been framed, and the eldest princess is very angry. But I was wronged, so I have to defend myself. I can't let someone throw dirty water in vain."

"Ning Concubine, don't be anxious. I have ordered people to bring witnesses to wait outside the palace, and your majesty has also sent people to invite the flower girl who is serving you. Right and wrong, after the face-to-face confrontation, will it be resolved? Has the truth come to light?”

Princess Hetai smiled calmly, looking like she had a chance to win.

Ning Bin's heart sank slightly, but her face remained calm and composed, "I have a clear conscience, so I am not afraid of being punished. Your Majesty is aware of everything and can definitely restore my innocence."
