Chapter 17 My Daughter's Name Sleeps on the Moon

Su Mianyue told herself to calm down. She took a deep breath and looked up at Mu Tinng, "Your majesty, I recognize that the palace has nothing to say, but I did not meet with anyone privately. Just now, this father-in-law said that he saw me and Biwu get into a carriage. I wonder what kind of carriage that carriage looks like. Is it a satin hibiscus embroidered pattern or an indigo roll embroidered ball pattern?"

The little eunuch was immediately questioned. He hesitated as if thinking, and then said with certainty, "Your majesty, it's an indigo roll-and-embroidered ball pattern! That's right! That's it!"

Su Mianyue sneered, "You're lying!"

"Not a servant!" The little eunuch said, kowtowing his head in attachment for a long time and calling out sincerely, "Your majesty, every word of the servant is true, and there is nothing to hide!"

"It's true?" Su Mianyue spat and said, "It's true, your sister! These two carriages were all made up by this palace! You saw me get into this imaginary carriage!"

The little eunuch was shocked by Su Mianyue's imposing manner and trembled for a moment.

Mu Tinng frowned as he stared at Su Mianyue.

Su Mianyue turned a deaf ear to Mu Tinng's expression and questioned the eunuch harshly, "You said you saw this palace get on the carriage, then this palace asked you, which street did you see?"

"This, this slave doesn't remember!" The little eunuch panicked and suddenly became incoherent.

"Don't remember?" Su Mianyue sneered. "I don't know at all, do I?"

"Su Mianyue!" Mu Tinng shouted. "How dare you!"

Su Mianyue was unconvinced, "Every word that the concubine said is true, but this little eunuch did not answer. It seems that he is deceiving the emperor. The emperor must not believe it!"

"Deceive me?" Mu Tinng sneered, "What about you? Have you ever left the palace?"

Su Mianyue choked on Mu Tinng's words, "Yes, your concubine is indeed..."

"What else do you have to say?" Mu Tinng interrupted her and reprimanded her. "You, as a queen, don't lead by example. All the civil and military officials are here tonight. As a result, you ran out of the palace! Even if you didn't have a private meeting with anyone, it would be a big mistake if you didn't intend to go out of the palace. How can you defend yourself? Come on, give the empress a 30 percent reprimand as an example!"

Su Mianyue was cold all over, and she looked at Mu Tinng coldly, "Your majesty, my concubine only asked one question. If it was Noble Imperial Concubine Ling who left the palace tonight, would you punish her like this?"

"Qingqing won't be like you!" Mu Tinng looked at her with disgust, as if she was a very dirty thing. "The people outside the palace are evil. They are of the highest rank. You only return to the palace when your son is young. Who knows if you have done anything against the face of the royal family?"

Mu Tinng clenched his hands into fists and said fiercely, "If it wasn't for Prime Minister Su's sake, as usual, you would have been sentenced to a great punishment. I will spare your life for the time being. If you do anything to humiliate the royal family again, don't blame me, Wuqing!"

"Wuqing?" Su Mianyue looked at Mu Tinng and murmured, "Your majesty, when did you ever have feelings for your concubines? When Noble Imperial Concubine Ling was sick, the one who was punished was your concubine. She accidentally fell down, and the one who was punished was your concubine. Your concubine was grounded for months because Noble Imperial Concubine Ling couldn't play cards, and you were grounded for months. I spent most of this year in Phoenix Palace, and I didn't even know what the flowers in front of the upper qing palace looked like."

Su Mianyue looked at Mu Tinng with a bleak look in her eyes, "I know that you love Noble Imperial Concubine Ling, so I never fight with Noble Imperial Concubine Ling for anything. Even if the power to manage the six palaces was given to her, I don't care. But now, your majesty said that you would treat your concubine, Wuqing. I just want to ask your majesty, since your concubine married you, your concubine is still a perfect person. Ask yourself, have you ever loved your concubine?"

Mu Tinng looked into Su Mianyue's black and white eyes, which were supposed to be as bright as water, but they were still.

All of a sudden, he remembered the scene when he got married.

He removed her red cap, and she smiled like a flower, but dared not look at her. When he asked her name, she bowed her head and smiled at him, "Your highness, your concubine's father's surname is su, your daughter's name is mianyue, and the small word Qingqing."

He suddenly remembered that the queen's nickname was also Qingqing.
