Rebirth: The First Daughter and the Ruthless Concubine

When the emperor came back, it was already half an hour later. There were a group of princes behind him. Meng Wan was sitting there, clearly aware of a hot light in the crowd, and her eyebrows immediately frowned.

Huangfu Qian was among them? It seemed that taking advantage of this good time of the year, the emperor even put aside the mistakes he had made.

But no matter what, Meng Junyao is dead, and the only person she has to deal with is Huangfu Qian, and the easiest way to deal with him is to ignore him and let him fend for himself for the time being.

At this time, the emperor and the empress had already sat down. After everyone paid their respects and bowed, an eunuch sang in a high-pitched voice: "The Minister of Rites has an audience -"

This is one of the most important moments of the year, so everyone sat upright and looked towards the door, and the emperor also looked on happily.

Seeing several palace maids carrying the sachets sent by each family appear in front of him one by one, he and the queen looked at them together, nodded slightly, and looked very happy.

But Meng Wan found it a bit boring.

Bored, he took out the hosta given by the emperor from his hair and started playing with it casually.

It is green and transparent, and the tentacles are warm and cool, like jade, but it is not fragile after being knocked twice. It does not seem to be made of that kind of material, but it is actually quite interesting.

The tribute from Persia is indeed a good thing.

She was thinking so carefully that she didn't even notice the sudden freeze in the atmosphere in the palace. It wasn't until there was a bang, the sound of something being broken, that she suddenly raised her head.

What caught her eye was a pair of eyes that fell on them for an instant. Before she could find out what was going on, she saw her father and aunt both stood up and knelt down in the center of the hall.

"Your Majesty is aware that there must be some flaw in this. The sachet sent by our Prime Minister's Mansion is undoubtedly a dragon and phoenix pattern."

That sentence made Meng Wan's heart tremble. Naturally, she had come to her senses a long time ago, but she didn't know what happened. She could only stand up and stand there, a little dazed.

A bright red sachet was thrown at her feet: "Take a look for yourselves and see if the dragon in your eyes looks like this."

The couple immediately picked up the sachet and looked at it. Their expressions suddenly changed, and Meng Wan's heart sank even more. They stepped forward and snatched the sachet, and then their whole body

He was stunned again.

Nine-clawed python, ten-clawed dragon, the sachet that had clearly been carefully inspected turned out to be the pattern of a python, and the tenth claw was nowhere to be seen.

Like a basin of cold water poured down in the twelfth lunar month of winter, Meng Wan couldn't help but tremble. She knelt down on her knees without even having time to think about it, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is aware that this sachet was handled by my daughter.

I am convinced that what came out of my prime minister’s house is undoubtedly a dragon and phoenix pattern! But now, it must have been tampered with!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Who could it be? Who could have done this? Tell me!"

Explanation? How did she know what was going on, but she understood a little bit--

For the royal family, it is a big taboo to not distinguish between dragons and pythons, but now there is a problem with the evil-repelling sachet that was presented to them. Naturally, the evil is getting worse. Therefore, no matter how hard she tries to explain, it is useless. At this moment, she can only

He could lower his forehead and say, "I don't know."

One sentence made the emperor's face darken.

No matter how much he likes Meng Wan or has a crush on Prime Minister Meng, as an emperor, there are some things that are really taboo. Like this time, dragons and pythons are not distinguished, which is a big taboo!

Immediately, he waved his long arm and said: "Come here, drag Meng Wan down to me, put him in the sky prison, and let him go!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. The matter has not been fully investigated, how can you convict this little girl?" Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Meng stopped him in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although the sachet belongs to the Prime Minister's Palace, it has passed through the hands of many people before it was delivered to the Emperor. So how can we assume that it is our fault!"

The third lady also prostrated herself on the ground and shouted loudly.

Even some ministers who had always been under the care of Prime Minister Meng knelt down and echoed: "The emperor is aware of this!"

All of a sudden, the huge hall was filled with calls for mercy.

Meng Wan frowned and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the emperor.

The emperor's face became even darker.

How could he really want to deal with Meng Wan? If it was an ordinary matter, he would not be willing to do it anyway. But this time the situation was serious, how could he not be annoyed?

"Your Majesty -" Seeing the emperor's brows furrowed as he was being forced by everyone, Meng Wan kowtowed to him, straightened up, and then said: "Since there is something wrong with the sachet in my house, then I should be punished.

, but there is no problem with the sachet in my house, so please check it carefully, Your Majesty."

What he said was neither hasty nor panic, and everyone in the palace couldn't help but admire her - after all, she is the daughter of the prime minister's old love, and she can still be so calm and composed at this time. I believe that this matter

It definitely has nothing to do with her.

At that moment, everyone agreed: "Your Majesty is aware of this!"

"I know, take her down first!" The emperor now felt a little calmer and nodded slightly. Only then did the guards come forward and take Meng Wan out.

"Your Majesty -" Prime Minister Meng was so anxious that he could only plead with the Emperor at this moment, but the Emperor waved his hand impatiently: "No need to say more, Prime Minister Meng should go back to the house, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.

, if it really has nothing to do with Meng Wan, I will also restore her innocence. As for you, you have been staying in the house for the past two days, and you are not allowed to enter the palace unless summoned."

--

The matter of the sachet was of great importance, not only because it involved the prime minister's daughter, but more importantly, because it related to the emperor's dignity. Therefore, not long after dawn the next day, people from Dali Temple followed to check.

First, we found the embroidery ladies in the house who were doing needlework, and after asking around, they couldn't find out why. Everyone insisted that they embroidered according to the drawings, and the eldest lady personally inspected them after they were finished.

On the other hand, there are no problems.

On the other side of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites even swore that there would be no mistakes if the things were handed over to their Ministry of Rites.

The matter suddenly reached a deadlock, and the third lady was so anxious that she almost fainted. She couldn't figure out why, since there was no problem, the dragon pattern turned into a python.

"Master, if we can't find out who is responsible, then can we only be responsible for this matter?"

Tears fell, and when Prime Minister Meng saw this, he became a little worried: "If we can't find out, not only my daughter, but also the General's Mansion will be involved."

Long Mang said that what is related to the majesty and meaning of the emperor is the most cherished thing of the royal family. Now that something has gone wrong, how can he give up so easily!
