sick princess

The object of Emperor Zhaode's suspicion is also obvious - if he hadn't become suspicious of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine would not have to rush to defend herself in front of Emperor Zhaode just now.

This matter was not done by the imperial concubine, but by the concubine Zhuang.The second concubine was busy picking herself out, and the rivalry was inevitable.What's more, they already disliked each other. At this moment, it's hard to imagine the smell of gunpowder between them.

In the absence of hard evidence, naturally neither the imperial concubine nor the concubine Zhuang would admit to this matter.

Empress Xu looked at Concubine Zhuang, who was full of emeralds and dressed in rich and noble clothes, and then at Concubine Huang, who took the gentle route and quietly grabbed people's attention. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes. The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

No matter who did this thing, the other one will certainly not be unaware.These two people who dare to plan and use her daughter, she will make them pay the price!

"Actually, it's not difficult to know the truth of the matter. Arrest the imperial concubine and the concubine Zhuang's court ladies and servants for a trial, and you will know. What does the emperor say?" Empress Xu was angry at the concubine and Zhuang In the eyes, suggested.

"Empress, the existing evidence has not yet proved that the concubines are guilty, so you have to send someone to arrest the people around them. Can the concubine think that you are doing public lynching?" , looking towards Empress Xu with undisguised dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Just now, when she was fighting with the imperial concubine, she was able to temporarily stand on the united front with Empress Xu. Now, she can naturally stand with the imperial concubine because Empress Xu has harmed her interests.

"That's right, the empress is eager to love her daughter and is eager to find the murderer. The concubine can understand, but the concubine's move is probably inappropriate. The concubines are the daughters of important ministers, and their natal family is also a respectable family. If the concubine treats the concubines Those who say they will be arrested will be arrested, and those who say they will be interrogated will be interrogated. Once it is spread, the concubines and their natal families will lose face. It is a small thing, and people mistakenly think that the empress is unkind. I hope the empress thinks twice."

She is indeed the favorite concubine who has won Emperor Zhaode's favor all these years. The same words, said by the imperial concubine, sound different.

If Concubine Zhuang's words could still be caught as an excuse to offend her superiors and be disrespectful to the Empress, then Concubine Huang's words were all for Empress Xu's consideration, at least on the surface.

The imperial concubine's words are well-founded and well-understood, but it seems that Empress Xu is impatient and incapable of doing things.

Emperor Zhaode looked at Empress Xu with dissatisfaction immediately.For the concubine, it is a very embarrassing behavior to arrest the palace people around the concubine for no reason. Even if it is Empress Xu, if she does not have certain evidence, it is not easy to do so.

Empress Xu was still so careless in doing things, Emperor Zhaode couldn't help but shook his head.If this matter hadn't involved Baoluo, he would definitely have to scold Queen Xu now.

However, when he thought of Baoluo lying lifelessly on the bed alone, his heart softened.

Someone actually made Baoluo look like this right under his nose, not only Queen Xu was angry, but Emperor Zhaode was also angry. Just now, didn't he himself suspect the imperial concubine who has always been trusted by him?Thinking about it this way, the queen's actions are also understandable.

The imperial concubine naturally noticed the change in Emperor Zhaode's expression, and the smile on his face faded a little.She knew that no matter what, as long as Baoluo was involved, Emperor Zhaode's tolerance for Empress Xu would be unexpectedly high.For Empress Xu, Baoluo is a gold medal in her hand to avoid death.

As long as Baoluo is alive, Emperor Zhaode will not do anything to Empress Xu.Even if he is already so obsessed with Queen Xu!

Empress Xu kept a blank face, as if she didn't notice the different thoughts of the people around her: "It's hard to say who harmed this palace's Baoluo, but the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine placed-insert-probe-son next to the emperor, But it's a real thing. Spying on the emperor's tracks is not a small crime. Just because of this, we should carefully judge the imperial concubine and the people around her, lest those two people still have accomplices, but we don't I know. The emperor said, didn't he?"

"Watching the traces of the emperor? The empress is so majestic, she puts such a big hat on the concubines when she speaks, the concubines really don't know what to say." Concubine Zhuang's words were as unruly as ever.She doesn't even look down on the imperial concubine who is the most favored in the Sixth Palace, so how can she look down on the empress who has been out of favor for a long time and her natal family has long since fallen?

The imperial concubine opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't say anything under the uncertain eyes of Emperor Zhaode.

If Emperor Zhaode really wanted to, he wouldn't be able to find out who those little eunuchs belonged to.Sophistry at this time is useless, it will only make Emperor Zhaode's impression of her worse.

The imperial concubine glared at the arrogant Concubine Zhuang, she is such an idiot, don't implicate her if you want to die!

Sure enough, Emperor Zhaode's expression became darker after hearing what Empress Xu said.The imperial concubine knew that this was a sign of Emperor Zhaode's murderous intent, and their placement of someone next to Emperor Zhaode finally touched the sensitive string in Emperor Zhaode's heart.I also don't know how Empress Xu suddenly became so keen-sharp, and could accurately figure out Emperor Zhaode's mind.

"Just do what the queen says." Emperor Zhaode said.

Soon, the confidants of Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Zhuang Guifei were suppressed by the surrounding guards, and one can imagine what will happen next.

At the moment when her confidant was taken away, Concubine Zhuang's expression was very ugly.On the contrary, the imperial concubine still maintained an elegant and calm posture.This made Emperor Zhaode couldn't help but look at the imperial concubine more, wondering if he had wrongly blamed the imperial concubine.

Maybe, this matter really has nothing to do with the imperial concubine?After all, the imperial concubine is a smart person.As she said, she should not do things that will give people a handle.

The emperor is eager to get a result, and the people below will naturally work hard. As for the means used, no one will care.

After a while, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the concubine's concubine sent someone to recruit those maids. The concubine's empress knew that the emperor valued the Longevity Princess, and she thought that the Longevity Princess was not compatible with the imperial concubine, so she wanted to murder her." Princess Longevity, blame the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words: "Now, it can be regarded as proving the innocence of my concubine."

Concubine Zhuang frowned: "Wait a minute, you have clearly hidden the most crucial information——"

"The imperial concubine and the imperial concubine don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. Although the matter was not done by the imperial concubine, it has nothing to do with the fifth princess. The fifth princess is jealous that the Longevity Princess is more favored than her. In addition, The imperial concubine was reprimanded by the emperor recently because of Princess Longevity, and the fifth princess has had trouble with Princess Longevity. The fifth princess wanted to teach Princess Longevity a lesson, so she released wild cats to scare her."

"I don't know where the imperial concubine learned about this, so she used that wild cat to make a game."

"As for the few people around the emperor, the people of the imperial concubine were inserted by the Zhuang family into the emperor's side before the imperial concubine entered the palace. It's time to 'remind' the emperor."

"As for the imperial concubine and empress, they were placed next to the emperor when she was first conferred the title of imperial concubine. The purpose is the same as that of the imperial concubine."

The eunuch cleverly skipped the person placed by the queen mother.Even Emperor Zhaode couldn't bring it up, let alone a slave.

The Empress Dowager is Emperor Zhaode's aunt, unless she has committed some serious crimes, it is not easy for Emperor Zhaode to blame her.

The imperial concubine and concubine Zhuang placed people next to Emperor Zhaode, and Emperor Zhaode could be furious and deal with the second concubine; the queen mother placed people next to Emperor Zhaode, but Emperor Zhaode could only calm down and settle the matter in private, after all , the Queen Mother did nothing.

"Imperial concubine! Concubine! Hmph, if this incident hadn't happened, I really don't know that my beloved concubines, one by one, have such means, not only dare to reach out to Baoluo, but also reach out to me. on the body!"

"Your Majesty, this concubine knows it's wrong." The imperial concubine faintly felt that things were out of control, but she didn't know exactly which link went wrong.However, now that Emperor Zhaode has grasped the truth of the matter, she can only try to obtain Emperor Zhaode's understanding to mitigate the crimes committed by herself and her daughter: "The concubine cares too much about the emperor, and in a moment of confusion, she will Please forgive me for doing such a thing.”

"As for Han'er, at such a young age, she definitely can't have such harmful thoughts. If you say that she doesn't like the Longevity Princess and makes some troubles for the Longevity Princess, the concubine will believe it; but if you say that she She deliberately murdered the Longevity Princess, and the concubine would never believe it. She caught the cat, maybe she just wanted to scare the Longevity Princess, but who knows, it was actually used by someone with a heart..."

From the corner of the corner of the imperial concubine's eyes, she glanced at Concubine Zhuang, who was the "spirited person" she was talking about, it couldn't be more obvious.

Concubine Zhuang Gui's eyes were about to burst: "It's clear that your mother and daughter first wanted to murder the Longevity Princess, so I followed suit! At this time, why are you pretending to be a good person!"

"Enough! I really don't know. At this time, how can you still have the face to argue for yourself! My Baoluo is still lying in a coma on the hospital bed. If something happens to Baoluo, you guys No one can escape!" Empress Xu couldn't bear it anymore.

"If your majesty is not ready to punish these people, please give the concubine and Baoluo the death! Baoluo is weak, how can she stand up to these people's repeated tossing? On weekdays, when she is not sick, she still wants to give up. Drinking medicine every day, taking care of her too weak body, now...just thinking about the crimes she suffered at a young age, the heart of my concubine is like being cut by a knife." Queen Xu said while crying: " Rather than letting her live in such a tortured state, it would be better to let her go with my concubines..."

"Queen, this is not the case. I have said that no matter who hurts Baoluo, I will not forgive lightly!"

"I pass on my decree: The noble concubine Zhuang's misbehavior and cruelty, murdered the emperor's daughter, spied on the emperor's trace, abolished the concubine's position, and put her in the cold palace!"

"The fifth emperor's daughter is arrogant and arrogant, she has repeatedly bullied her sisters, and she has no filial heart. This murder of her own sister has violated the ancestral family law. The fifth emperor's daughter is imprisoned in the royal temple to think about her mistakes, and she is not allowed to go out without an order. During the royal temple, if there is no repentance, they will be ordered to shave their hair and become a nun."

"Imperial concubine Zhou's misbehavior, spying on the emperor's traces, not strict teaching daughters, confinement for one year, during this period, the second son of the emperor was handed over to the concubine De to be raised, and the seventh son of the emperor was handed over to the concubine Rong to be raised."
