Chapter 340: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 24

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I dare not! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

"Jingtai!" Wen Yuan called out sternly.

Jingtai understood, took a step forward, and shouted sternly: "You bold servant! How can you make up the story of the queen's golden branches and jade leaves?! Why don't you tell me who ordered you to do this?!"

The chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no choice but to kowtow and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I deserve to die! I really just wanted to choose a wedding dress with good meaning, and I didn't mean to be disrespectful at all!"

"Good meaning? I think you want to curse me to come back to life!" Wen Yuan sneered, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The people in the Imperial Household Department have always been fence-sitters, and they will curry favor with whoever is in power. Now that I am in the limelight, it is not surprising that they sent me a piece of auspicious clothing.

However, the style of this auspicious dress...

Wen Yuan carefully looked at the auspicious dress in his hand. The style of this auspicious dress was not the current popular style, but an old style from many years ago. It was just well preserved, so nothing could be seen.

"Where did you find this auspicious dress?" Wen Yuan suddenly asked.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was stunned by the question and said hesitantly, "To answer... to answer your Majesty, this wedding dress was... found in the storehouse."

"Warehouse?" Wen Yuan raised her eyebrows.

"Which warehouse?"

"It's...it's the warehouse of the Imperial Household Department..." The voice of the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department became smaller and smaller, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Jingtai!" Wen Yuan called out coldly.

"I'm here." Jingtai responded quickly.

Wen Yuan glared with anger, snatched the wedding dress, and threw it to the ground without thinking, cursing: "You dog slave! Which blind dog dares to fool me with this kind of rubbish?! Do you really think I am made of mud?!"

The head of the Imperial Household Department was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, banging his head on the floor tiles with a loud thumping sound, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please spare my life! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

"The Emperor has arrived--" the eunuch's shrill voice came from far away, and Yinzhen, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stepped steadily into the Yongshou Palace.

The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department had no time to think about how to deal with the current dilemma. He was frightened out of his wits by this sudden change. He collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"What's going on?" Yinzhen frowned slightly, looked around, his eyes fell on the luxurious but strange auspicious dress on the ground, and then looked at Wen Yuan who was still angry.

He knew Wen Yuan. This little woman was usually spoiled and willful, but she would never get so angry for no reason. Someone must have provoked her.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!" When Wen Yuan saw Yinzhen, her eyes suddenly turned red and she spoke in a crying voice.

"These people are really going too far. They actually dared to take one...one..." As she spoke, she seemed to be extremely angry. She couldn't speak for a long time and just kept wiping the corners of her eyes with her embroidered handkerchief.

Seeing this, Yinzhen's heart softened immediately. He quickly walked to Wen Yuan, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, I will vent your anger for you."

As he spoke, he glanced fiercely at the palace maids kneeling on the ground, scaring them so much that they lowered their heads even lower.

Wen Yuan fell into Yinzhen's arms and said coquettishly, "Isn't it because of this bunch of dogs and slaves? Are they all blind? My enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow, such an important day, and they dare to use an old dress to fool me. Your Majesty, look, this, this..." She stepped on the auspicious dress thrown on the ground again, with some tears still in the corners of her eyes, looking very aggrieved.

"The Queen has arrived——"

Following the eunuch's shrill voice, the queen, surrounded by a group of palace maids, slowly walked into the Yongshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." The Queen bowed slightly with an elegant posture and a gentle voice.

"Get up." Yinzhen responded lightly, his eyes still on Wen Yuan, with a bit of pampering and worry.

"Your Majesty, what happened? Why is Concubine Li still here?" The Queen pretended to be ignorant and asked, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the kneeling steward of the Imperial Household Department and the auspicious dress thrown on the ground.

The tears in Wen Yuan's eyes were like pearls that had broken off the string, rolling down one by one: "These people are really going too far. They dared to take one... one..."

As she spoke, she seemed to be remembering something sad. She was choking with sobs and unable to speak. She just covered her mouth with a handkerchief and her shoulders trembled slightly.

When the queen saw this, she sneered in her heart. This Guarjia family member was always pretending to be good in order to win the emperor's sympathy.

But she remained calm, and instead asked with concern: "What happened to you, sister? What happened to make you so sad?"

She first asked a few questions with concern, and after Wen Yuan's crying came to an end, she glanced at the wedding dress on the ground as if inadvertently, and then exclaimed.

"Hey, why does this dress look so familiar? This, this isn't..."

She didn't say anything else, but just covered her mouth with her handkerchief, looking incredulous.

"Bold Guaerjia!" The queen raised her eyebrows and shouted harshly.

"I never knew you had the guts to steal the former queen's belongings and even tried to pass them off as real to deceive His Majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was startled and looked at the auspicious dress on the ground at the same time.

Yinzhen's eyes also fell on the auspicious dress. Of course he recognized this dress. Many years ago, Queen Chunyuan wore this auspicious dress.

The queen's words were like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, immediately causing a thousand waves.

Everyone lowered their heads in fear, not daring to breathe. Everyone knew that the late queen was a taboo in the emperor's heart, and no one could mention her, let alone touch her.

And now, Concubine Li actually dared to steal the late queen's relics, and even tried to pass the fake off as real in order to deceive His Majesty. This is simply treason and she deserves the punishment!

However, Yinzhen just glanced at the auspicious dress indifferently, with no expression on his face.

He reached out and gently stroked Wen Yuan's hair, saying softly, "Yuan'er, don't cry, I believe in you."

A simple sentence is more powerful than any explanation.

Hearing this, Wen Yuan raised her head with tears in her eyes, looked at Yinzhen pitifully, and said in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have never seen this dress, let alone stolen it! There must be some misunderstanding!"

Seeing this, the Queen cursed inwardly, "Fox Charmer," but remained calm on the surface, and continued, "Sister, you are wrong. The pattern and design on this dress are exactly the same as the auspicious dress that the late Queen wore back then. Even the gold thread is unique in the palace. How do you explain it, sister?"
