Chapter 50 Talking about the Child
swnovels.com Emperor Mingyuan raised his eyes slightly and said gently, "In your opinion, how should
we deal with Princess Chu?"
Queen Chu heard that the Emperor was not displeased and said, "I thought that Retired Emperor's
body was related to the fate of North Tang. Princess Chu thought she was smart and thought that her
medical skills were extraordinary. She treated him privately and ignored the safety of Retired Emperor.
It was a great crime. Fortunately, it did not lead to serious consequences. Therefore, I thought that she
should be expelled from the palace and reduced to a second wife. Without an imperial edict, she was
not allowed to enter the imperial palace." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Emperor Mingyuan smiled and said, "You're right. If you make mistakes, you won't be punished. If you
make contributions, you won't be rewarded. It's indeed not His Majesty's doing. Let's do as you say."
Queen Chu knew that the Emperor would agree. The punishment was not serious, and it was only a
matter of reputation to be promoted to a second wife. After all, Princess Chu had married into the
imperial palace, so she could still be brought back in the future.
Of course, she did not want to have any conflict with Prince Wenhao. The most important thing was
that Yuan Qingling could not enter the imperial palace or get close to Retired Emperor anymore.
Chu Mingcui also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Emperor had not changed his attitude
toward Yuan Qingling after the meal.
However, Emperor Mingyuan changed the topic and said, "You have to be punished for your mistakes,
but you have to be rewarded for your contributions. It's a great achievement for Yuan Qingling to save
Retired Emperor. If your merits are offset, I'll first punish her and then reward her. Then, she'll still be
Princess Chu and be rewarded with two strings of Southern Pearl. What do you think?"
Chu Mingcui couldn't believe her ears at all. If her merits were offset, she would be rewarded. The
Emperor did not intend to punish her at all.
"Two strings of Southern Pearl?" Queen Chu's eyeballs popped out and her face suddenly darkened.
"Your Majesty, there are only three strings of Crystal Ball in total."
The large and round Southern Pearls of Crystal Ball were rare treasures. In previous years, there was
only one string of the Southern Pearls offered by Crystal Ball. The Emperor would most likely give it to
Queen Mother. It was rare for her to have three strings this year. She thought that she could get one
string. Now, he had given two strings to Yuan Qingling. He still had not given the rest to Queen Mother.
"Yes, there are actually three strings this year. The aquatic product of Crystal Ball is very rich this year."
Emperor Mingyuan said with a smile.
Queen Chu said unwillingly, "Your Majesty, how could Princess Chu be considered to have contributed
to saving Retired Emperor? Could it be that the Retired Emperor's illness was cured by her partial
prescription?"
Don't you know? Emperor Mingyuan was slightly surprised. "You have sharp ears and sharp eyes.
There are many capable people around you. You don't know Princess Chu has contributed?"
Looking at Emperor Mingyuan's slightly sarcastic but gentle face, Queen Chu suddenly realized that he
was angry. She was afraid that he had already seen through her and Chu Mingcui's minds.
"Your Majesty, you must be joking." Queen Chu's sharpness slowly weakened.
