After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

After hearing the maid's cry, the emperor's face was extremely gloomy, the concubine also had a look of regret, but Qi Guohou and Xiao Yuanqi looked normal.

The emperor asked: "The jade pendant you mentioned, but this jade pendant in my hand?"

The palace maid nodded and said with a sob: "Yes, when Mingshu Gonggong brought the jade pendant, the servant girl was also beside Fangcao, so she could see clearly."

Xiao Yuanjing was like an outsider, silently eating melons in his heart, nibbling on the melon seeds and waiting for the next person to come out to add fuel to the flames and fan the flames by the way.

As a result, the queen waited for the next person, and after listening to the congratulations from the servants outside, she could see the majestic queen leading the maids into the Zhaoyang Palace. Looking at the people in the Zhaoyang Palace, the queen walked away with her head held high. Come, after saluting to the emperor, he accepted the salutations of others, sat down and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter involves the suicide of an inner court lady, how can I not inform my concubines?"

The emperor's face was gloomy: "The queen has been unwell for the past two days, and what's more, the incident happened so suddenly, I haven't had time to find the queen yet."

The queen still had a smile on her face, and her gaze swept from Concubine Yu to Marquis Qi one by one, and finally stopped on the maid: "This is the maid who complained?"

The court lady knelt down and didn't dare to raise her head at all. Concubine Yu said, "It's exactly what the empress said."

Empress: "Then what about the court lady who caused Jing Er to threaten her regardless of her status? How does she look like? Can she compare to the imperial concubine's younger sister?"

Concubine Yu was choked up for a moment about the seemingly peaceful question of the queen, but she actually asked the question with a knife, and said: "Empress, my concubine knows that you love the fourth highness and wants to argue for the fourth highness. The concubine originally wanted to deal with it privately, so she didn't want to embarrass the queen's face. I never thought that your majesty was going to eat in Zhaoyang Palace later, and bumped into him. That's why... the concubine is going to the fourth highness, the queen's empress You can learn from it.”

The emperor hurriedly said: "The matter has already happened, do you want to slap it down without mentioning it? The maid of the inner court was threatened by the prince and died angrily in order to preserve her innocence. If this happened in his mansion, I would have nothing to say, but This happened in the harem, the harem under your control, queen, how will the queen deal with such a thing?"

The smile on the Queen's face faded, and she said: "Your Majesty also said that this matter is under the control of the harem, so let the concubines do it."

Concubine Yu said with some embarrassment: "However, it is about His Majesty, it is not just a matter of the harem. If His Majesty doesn't know, the concubine will just give in. She is just a maid, but now that His Majesty knows, the concubine can only do it If we can tell the truth, even if Qi'er did something like this today, the concubine can still hand over Qi'er to His Majesty."

The empress looked sideways at Concubine Yu Gui, capturing the glint of pride that flashed in her eyes. The empress was about to speak, but when she turned her head, she saw the wink from Xiao Yuanjing.

Such an understatement, closing her eyes and shaking her head lightly, is obviously to let the empress listen to these people quietly, but the empress hesitated to speak, so Concubine Yu only thought that she was at fault, and hurriedly saluted the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Fangcao died in order not to cause the feud between the courtiers and concubines and the empress, and also not to cause the family members to die. Please make the decision for Fangcao, Your Majesty."

The Qi Guohou, who had been silent all this time, said: "Your Majesty, this matter is nothing more than a trivial matter. The Fourth Highness is young and full of vigor, and the grass is not bad. It is normal for the Fourth Highness to ask her to serve her. It's just that the lady in the palace misinterpreted the meaning of His Highness the Fourth Highness, and she is not the personal servant of the Fourth Highness, it's a pity to look at her."

Concubine Yu also nodded and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, if the Fourth Highness likes it, tell the concubine, the concubine sent him there, and now...he has killed a person."

The emperor's complexion became worse and worse. After exchanging glances with Concubine Yu Gui, Qi Guohou continued:

"Your Majesty, this is originally a matter in the harem. It is not easy for the minister to intervene, but the four highnesses are of high character, and they will definitely not do such a thing. The minister believes in him. The maid said that she died of illness and gave it to her family. It is enough for people to make more compensations, the Fourth Highness is a prince with a distinguished status, and the Fourth Highness cannot be punished for such a trivial matter, who has never been young before."

Hearing that the Marquis of Qi put aside his relationship for Xiao Yuanjing like this, the emperor was even more enraged: "Just because he is a prince and has a noble status, he should set an example. How can there be a prince who bullies others and forces innocent women to die like this?" Look, if this matter spreads out, you will lose all face of the empress!"

Qi Guohou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The Fourth Highness is still young, and it is inevitable to be full of blood. In the future, if you have a princess, you will naturally convert if you have a princess under your control."

Originally like Xiao Yuanjing, Xiao Yuanqi, who ate melons in silence, said: "Master Hou is wrong. In the Fourth Brother's Chengqian Hall, the maids can't even enter the door of the sleeping hall, and the personal servants are nothing more than Ming Shu. With Lidong, in my impression, the fourth brother is clean and self-sufficient, living like a cultivator, how can he understand the clouds and rain in this world."

Qi Guohou didn't expect Xiao Yuanqi to say such a sentence, and hurriedly said: "It seems that His Highness King Pingdu understands His Highness the Fourth Highness better."

Xiao Yuanqi nodded and smiled, and did not speak again, but the emperor said angrily: "Jing Er, you know your mistake!"

Xiao Yuanjing, who was still thinking about why Xiao Yuanqi would suddenly speak for him, was called back by the emperor's angry shout, looked straight at the emperor and said, "Father, I don't know what's wrong."

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing's attitude of refusing to admit his mistakes, the emperor stood up and pointed at him: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you are a son-in-law! Now that you have killed someone else, you should have an attitude of admitting your mistakes. Since you have already admitted this The jade pendant is yours, so you should know that if you sincerely repent and admit your mistakes, I will not really punish you."

Xiao Yuanjing bowed respectfully to the emperor and said: "Father, my minister said that the jade pendant belonged to my minister, but my minister never let Mingshu take the jade pendant to threaten Fangcao to serve my son. Chen, this jade pendant was lost yesterday when I went into the water to save her, and I also planned to let Ming Shu go back to the palace, and find someone to look for it in the mud of Yueli Pond. I don't know why this jade pendant is here In the hands of Fangcao!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Yuanjing with anger in his eyes, Concubine Yu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Fourth Highness, quickly admit your mistake to His Majesty, you are His Majesty's son, and the Empress is here, but you just forced a maid to death. It's not a big deal, it's a big deal to make His Majesty angry."

Xiao Yuanjing straightened his body and said: "Why do I have to admit what I didn't do? Is it because the jade pendant is in Fangcao's hands, why didn't my father take a closer look at the jade pendant? I want to get it back, but I don’t want to cause misunderstanding.”

Hearing what Xiao Yuanjing said, the emperor felt a little doubt in his heart: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yuanjing stared into the emperor's eyes with firm eyes: "Father, you can recognize the engraving on that jade pendant."

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's reminder, the emperor picked up the jade pendant again and looked at it carefully. When he got the jade pendant, the emperor had doubts in his heart, but after hearing Xiao Yuanjing's behavior of forcing the palace maid to death , I was so angry that I forgot about the doubt.

Now that Xiao Yuanjing mentioned it, the emperor looked at the jade pendant carefully. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he remembered the origin of this jade pendant. He couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuanjing in surprise: "How can this jade pendant be Here you are."

Xiao Yuanjing straightened his back: "Naturally, it was given by Wei Shizi. Grandma said that Wei Shizi also likes to do research. This is very similar to my son. In addition, the relationship these days really gets along with Wei Shizi, so Wei Shizi Then I gave this jade pendant to Erchen, saying that if I have a chance to go out of the palace in the future, I will definitely go to Yunzhong to have a look, but I am afraid that there will be disasters in the long journey, so with this jade pendant, Erchen will not have to reveal his identity. It can also let people know that the minister is a guest of the Zhenbei Palace, so no one dares to move."

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's explanation, Yu Guifei and Qi Guohou in the palace were a little surprised.

The emperor said: "Why didn't you say it clearly just now?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "This jade pendant was given to my son, and it belonged to me. I also wear it every day to show the importance I attach to the Zhenbei Palace. If my son loses his own jade pendant, I won't be so anxious , precisely because the jade pendant engraved with an eagle was lost, and it was given by Wei Shizi. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I hurried to find it, but I didn't want it to be used by someone with a heart as evidence to frame my minister. He would be so foolish as to threaten a court lady with the jade pendant sent by Prince Wei."

Concubine Yu quickly knelt down on the ground and begged the emperor for mercy: "Your Majesty, I don't know, it's... the jade pendant is in the hands of the maids, you... tell me! Where did the jade pendant come from! Why did you frame the Fourth Highness! Let me be your knife!"

The court lady was scolded by Concubine Yu Gui, she was so frightened that her three souls disappeared and her face turned pale. She looked up at the emperor and empress, and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yuanjing bowed to the emperor and said: "Father, those who framed my son and minister can be punished, and the person behind the scenes wanted to drag the mother into the water. This time, my son asked Father to deal with it impartially, for my son. Redress the grievances, avenge the mother's grievances, and severely punish those who framed her!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Yuanjing's angry look, thinking that he had misunderstood his son again this time, the emperor also hated the person behind the scenes, but as soon as he opened his mouth to call someone, the court lady who complained stood up , bumped towards the pillar in Zhaoyang Hall.

Before everyone could stop her in the future, they could only watch helplessly as the palace maid bumped into the pillar, dripping with blood, and immediately lost her breath.

There was a moment of silence in the Zhaoyang Palace, and no one spoke for a while. At this moment, the Empress got up and came to the palace, saluted the Emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the concubine has always taught Jing'er to understand the general situation, to know how to advance and retreat, not to make things difficult for others, and to be a son who can share the worries of the majesty. The concubine is married in Yuanchun, and Jing'er is the son by her side, but the concubine is a mother." It's really wrong to ask him to back down step by step. Now, the person behind the scenes is so bold that he uses the lives of innocent people to ruin my reputation. The concubine is very angry, please Your Majesty Severely punish the people behind the scenes and seek justice for Jinger!"

The empress spoke angrily, even the emperor felt that what the empress said was reasonable, and hurriedly ordered: "Although the two people involved in the case are dead, the person who instigated this case must have left his feet, and the incident happened again in Zhaoyang Palace. Biography Jiang Yan, ask him to find out who is behind the scenes within three days, as for Concubine Yu, who is not under strict control, something like this happened in the palace, fined her salary for one year, demoted to Zhaoyi, restrained her feet and meditated on herself Pass."

Upon hearing the emperor's order, Concubine Yu immediately cried and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's concubines don't know, and concubines are also bewitched by others, and concubines are wronged."

The emperor looked at her quietly: "How can the people in my own palace not know?"

Concubine Yu looked at the emperor's appearance, her eyes were full of tears, her grievance was even worse, she stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, her eyes were slack, she was calling softly for your majesty, before she fell to the emperor, she saw the empress in the palace limp and fell down .

The emperor didn't care about Concubine Yu who was calling him softly, but walked quickly in front of the queen, hugged the queen into his arms, and anxiously walked towards the bedroom behind.

Xiao Yuanjing hurriedly said to Chengyouzhi: "Hurry up, go get the imperial doctor!

Concubine Yu Guifei never leaned on the emperor's body, and the emperor didn't respond to her tears, and she was even more angry. Seeing the emperor's nervous empress, she clenched her fists angrily and let her nails poke her palms .

And Xiao Yuanjing had a smile on his lips, but when he looked at Xiao Yuanqi, there was some doubt in his eyes.

This Xiao Yuanqi seemed to be unable to see through anything, and he really didn't know what he was thinking.
