After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 237: A fishy fish
Yun Xi returned to the dark room again and reported to Emperor Deshun that Lin Luoling was forcibly taken to Concubine Chen's Chenxi Palace by Zhuang Yan.
Upon hearing this, Prince An lost his usual calm demeanor and stood up abruptly.
When Emperor Deshun saw this, he understood how important Lin Luoling was to Prince An, and he tried to stop her, saying, "If you go out rashly, you will not save Lin Luoling, but harm her."
After that, Emperor Deshun stood up and said to Yun Xi, "Go find the glass cup that Concubine Chen has been missing for a long time, and come with me to Chenxi Palace."
The colored glaze cup that Guifei Chen was dreaming about was obtained by Emperor Deshun after searching for treasures before Concubine Li passed away, and was also made by a skilled craftsman.
Originally, Emperor Deshun planned to give the cups to Concubine Li on her birthday, but she passed away. After the set of nine glass cups was completed, Emperor Deshun could only place them in a brocade box in the Zhengde Hall and take them out to admire them whenever he missed her.
Once, Emperor Deshun was absent-minded, and Concubine Chen, who was still Concubine Chen, accidentally entered the palace. When she saw this set of exquisite colored glass cups, she liked them so much that she asked Emperor Deshun for them several times.
Emperor Deshun lied to Concubine Chen and told her that the set of colored glaze cups was a gift to the prince who would inherit the throne of crown prince in the future.
Prince An knew that this set of glass cups was a comfort to Emperor Deshun, because each of the nine glass cups was engraved with the expression of Concubine Li when she was dancing different dances. After pouring fine wine and tea into the cups, the colors would change depending on the temperature.
In addition, the carving craftsmanship is exquisite, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like Concubine Li is dancing in the cup.
Prince An said: "When we were in Xuzhou, the young prince Jiang gave me a set of extremely exquisite colored glass cups. Although they are not as good as the ones my father has, they can still be used as a fake."
"Oh? Did you bring that set of glass cups?" Emperor Deshun asked with his hands behind his back.
Prince An nodded and told Yunxi which box the set of glass cups were placed in.
Emperor Deshun gave Yunxi a look, and Yunxi hurried away.
Emperor Deshun said, "You should proceed with the matter we just discussed. I will go to Chenxi Palace in person and bring your beloved concubine back to you in good condition."
After Emperor An Chao bowed and thanked Emperor Deshun, he walked towards the secret passage leading out of the palace.
Emperor Deshun went to Chenxi Palace. When he was approaching the gate of Chenxi Palace, Yunxi came with an exquisite brocade box in his arms, sweating profusely. He slowed down his pace and walked beside Emperor Deshun.
Seeing Emperor Deshun looking at him, Yun Xi nodded slightly.
Emperor Deshun knew that the set of colored glaze cups that Jiang Chi gave to Prince An was just as Prince An said, they could be passed off as genuine, making it difficult for Imperial Concubine Chen to distinguish the real from the fake.
"Your Majesty is here!"
When they reached the main gate of Chenxi Palace, Yun Xi sang loudly.
Emperor Deshun did not wait for Concubine Chen to come out to greet him, and walked straight into Chenxi Palace.
From a distance, I saw a group of palace maids kneeling on the ground, and Concubine Chen and Prince Jin standing at the door with stern faces.
He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw Lin Luoling kneeling on the ground next to the red pillar on the right, his face pale along the chest.
On the bench in the middle of the yard, a palace maid was beaten to a bloody mess.
Seeing Emperor Deshun coming, the palace maid kneeling in the courtyard came to her senses from her shock, knelt down, turned around and shouted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
When Concubine Chen and Prince Jin saw clearly that the person coming was Emperor Deshun, their stern faces suddenly changed. Concubine Chen looked like someone who had suffered a great injustice, and Prince Jin had a silly look on his face. They both walked quickly forward and saluted and greeted Emperor Deshun.
Emperor Deshun waved his hand to ask them to stand up, and asked in confusion, "What happened to make my beloved concubine so angry?"
Concubine Chen said calmly, "I didn't know that your majesty came to Chenxi Palace. I was not able to greet you. It was my fault."
After a pause, Concubine Chen wanted to cry but couldn't, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and she cried in a just right tone: "It is because I failed to discipline the palace maids. Not only did I wrong Princess An, but I also offended Your Majesty."
"Princess An?" Emperor Deshun helped Concubine Chen up and raised his eyebrows. "Isn't she in Jingshou Palace? Where is she?"
Prince Jin knelt aside and said with dissatisfaction, "Mother had good intentions. Thinking of how much you loved Prince An in his early years, and hearing that Prince An was about to marry Lin as his princess, mother sighed that Prince An had a virtuous wife, and finally felt relieved. So she gave the gold and jade bracelet that my grandmother gave to you on your 40th birthday to Princess An as a gift.
Knowing that Princess An is the daughter of Lin Tingxu, the richest man in Jingxuzhou, what precious things has she not seen? After all, it is my mother's good intention, I shouldn't break it and hurt my mother's heart. "
After the King of Jin finished speaking, Concubine Chen glanced at the King of Jin and angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of your father? How could a gentle and virtuous girl like Princess An do such a thing?
It was because Princess An didn't take it that Qiu Shui let go of it, and the gold and jade bracelet broke into pieces."
Concubine Chen deliberately told the truth, and Prince Jin snorted, "Mother has always been partial to Prince An. In the past, in the palace, everything good was given to Prince An, and you didn't even know who your biological son was. Now Prince An hasn't married Lin yet, so why are you partial to her too?
"I saw it clearly from the side. It was clearly Princess An who pretended not to catch the bracelet, which caused it to break. But Mother punished Qiu Shui. Qiu Shui had worked hard in Chenxi Palace for more than ten years, but he was beaten to death. And you don't allow me to tell the truth?"
Concubine Chen raised her hand and slapped Prince Jin, saying angrily, "Prince An lost his mother when he was young, so what's wrong with me loving him more? Prince An is your biological brother, how did I teach you?
If I hear you say this again in the future, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my son.”
As she spoke, Concubine Chen's tone softened slightly and said, "What you saw when you entered the palace was not true. It was indeed Qiu Shui who did not hold the bracelet firmly, so it broke. It has nothing to do with Princess An.
Besides, Princess An is the master. Even if Qiu Shui has served me for many years, she is still a maid. She broke her bracelet and just admitted her mistake. I was angry because she took advantage of the fact that I usually treat her differently from others and lost her sense of propriety by contradicting Princess An in front of me."
Lin Luoling, kneeling beside the red pillar, looked down at her chest as Concubine Chen and Prince Jin, mother and son, performed for Emperor Deshun.
It was clear that Concubine Chen deliberately beat Qiu Shui to death and said this on purpose in order to flatter her and make her hate by the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem in the future.
Prince Jin covered his face, looked at Concubine Chen in shock and said, "Mother, you hit me?"
"That's enough!" Emperor Deshun was too lazy to watch their show. "Prince Jin, please stand up! It's just a gold and jade bracelet. Why make such a fuss? You're going to make the eunuchs and palace maids laugh at you."
Concubine Chen complained in a low voice, feeling wronged: "What can I do? If I don't punish Qiu Shui, and the Empress knows about this, I will be scolded and punished again."
Emperor Deshun put his arm around Concubine Chen's shoulders and said, "You have been wronged over the years."
"Yun Xi, why don't you order people to clean up the yard?" Emperor Deshun said with a cold face.
Yun Xi took the order and waved to the eunuchs behind him. Then the eunuchs came forward and carried away the dead Qiu Shui.
Concubine Chen raised her eyes and looked at Prince Jin, with the corners of her lips slightly raised. She knew early on that Qiu Shui was the Queen's spy planted in Chenxi Palace, but she had never found a suitable opportunity to kill Qiu Shui. Today she could kill two birds with one stone.
Emperor Deshun took Consort Chen in his arms and walked to the front of the palace. He turned to look at Lin Luoling and scolded her coldly, "Prince An has a high fever, and you don't know how to serve him. Why do you come here to cause trouble? The Empress Dowager left you in Jingshou Palace, but you don't know how to serve her filially. You are really rude.
Yunxi, take Lin to the Ministry of Education, and let her learn some rules. As punishment, she will be required to copy the "Female Virtues" a hundred times in Jingshou Palace, and she is not allowed to step out of Jingshou Palace until she finishes copying. "
