The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 258 Complaint again

"Princess Wei?"

"Why is she here all of a sudden?"

The princes and nobles spoke one after another, looking embarrassed.

They gathered together today, and they didn't care about their reputation, so they naturally didn't want to be caught by others.

"I heard that when the news of the death of the King of Wei reached the palace, the Princess of Wei cried and fainted on the spot." The eunuch beside whispered.

Everyone remembered that they had forgotten that the Princess of Wei had just lost her husband.

The emperor in front of them had just lost his son.

Their expressions froze, but they thought again that it was because of this that the emperor could understand their pain better!

"Your Majesty..." Someone called out in a low voice, with a pleading look on his face.

I think they wanted to get a word of amnesty from Emperor Liang De as soon as possible.

Emperor Liang De pondered for a moment and said, "I know what you are thinking. Let's wait in the side hall first."

They looked at each other, and some were reluctant to leave like this.

But the emperor couldn't drive the Princess of Wei away...

"Thank you, Your Majesty." They bowed and were led to the side hall.

Outside the palace gate, Liu Yuerong stared at the moon in the sky, watching it become thinner and thinner.

Why did I wait so long? She thought.

This wait made Liu Yuerong hesitate.

If there was nothing, she didn't want to see the emperor.

Emperor Liang De sat there, looking gentle and easy to talk to. But he was the emperor, and he ruthlessly eliminated his own son's in-laws...

"If the emperor has already rested, I won't bother him." Liu Yuerong hesitated.

Her haggard face looked a little pitiful under the moonlight.

The palace maid also felt sorry for her embarrassing situation, so she said, "Princess, please wait a little longer. Maybe someone will come out to pick you up in a while."

The palace maid paused and asked, "But what happened in the mansion?"

Liu Yuerong originally thought that such a big thing naturally could not be told to a little palace maid like her.

But in a flash, she remembered that she had made a big mistake when she reported Xue Qingyin last time. She couldn't make the same mistake again this time.

"There is something... I should have reported it to my father long ago, but..." Liu Yuerong showed an awkward expression, "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding."

Without waiting for the little palace maid to continue, Liu Yuerong said, "Concubine Qiao... disappeared a month ago."

The little palace maid was shocked: "What? If I remember correctly... Concubine Qiao is also pregnant, right?"

Liu Yuerong nodded lightly: "Yes."

The little palace maid was sweating profusely, fearing that she was involved in some royal secrets, and turned around and hurried into the palace to report to Emperor Liang De.

She bumped into the eunuch who was walking out.

The eunuch frowned and asked her, "Why are you so flustered?"

The little palace maid stammered, "Princess Wei...she said something, a big thing, and it must be reported to Your Majesty."

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, then took her back to see Emperor Liang De.

The palace was empty at this time. The little palace maid exhaled, not daring to look up, and quickly explained what Princess Wei said.

"She has been missing for a month?" Emperor Liang De's face was slightly gloomy, "Why did you come to the palace to report at night today?"

The little palace maid certainly couldn't answer, she thought to herself that Concubine Qiao would not elope with someone, right?

"Bring the person in." Emperor Liang De said.

Liu Yuerong was quickly led into the door by the eunuch.

As soon as she took a step, she felt a stagnant air in the palace, which was blocked there and could not be dissipated.

The emperor was not very happy.

Liu Yuerong took a deep breath and was not too scared, because she knew that the anger was not directed at her.

"What happened? Tell me in detail." The voice of Emperor Liang De sounded.

Liu Yuerong knelt down and bowed, and said, "The concubine Qiao disappeared after His Highness set off... I wanted to go to the palace to report to my father at that time. But the servants stopped me and said that His Highness always thought I was jealous. If I report this, I am afraid that His Highness will misunderstand me again.

"But now His Highness is gone. It's not that I am jealous again, but I think that Qiao has a child in her belly, which is probably His Highness's only blood... I now only hope to find Qiao as soon as possible, so as to comfort the pain in Wanpin's heart. "

After Liu Yuerong finished speaking, she felt that her words were impeccable.

She did not directly point out the guilt of Qiao Xinyu and Qiao Teng, but as long as her father investigated a little, there would be results.

By then, she would be able to extricate herself from it.

"I will send someone to find her whereabouts." Emperor Liang De said in a deep voice.

He did not look very angry.

This made Liu Yuerong a little disappointed.

But think about it, Qiao Xinyu does not have a Xuan Wang who can support her behind her...

Liu Yuerong calmed down again.

At this time, Emperor Liang De suddenly spoke up, and said in a cold tone: "You said that the subordinates stopped you and did not allow you to report?"

Liu Yuerong was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes."

Emperor Liang De said slowly: "What a big courage, the servants are still the master's master? And almost missed the big thing. Who is it? I think he should be executed. "

Liu Yuerong was so shocked that she felt a chill on her back.

Her words were just to downplay her role... an excuse.

No, wait, it wasn't all an excuse.

Liu Yuerong suddenly thought of the nanny who always had a stern face beside her.

That was given to her by her mother-in-law.

Liu Yuerong whispered, "Yes... Nanny Xiao."

Emperor Liang De looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Go back to the palace with the Princess of Wei and execute her."

The eunuch responded.

Liu Yuerong's heart immediately started pounding, not because of fear, but because of excitement.

Look, this is the supreme imperial power.

All it takes is one word from the father, and Nanny Xiao who dares to take advantage of her will die.

Once Qiao Xinyu is removed, she alone will have the final say in the Wei Palace from now on.

My mother was right, today's desperate situation is not yet a desperate situation. Where did this go?

"Princess, please." The chamberlain opened the door for Liu Yuerong.

Liu Yuerong nodded and stepped out.

After she left, the princes and nobles returned to the palace.

Liu Yuerong's carriage slowly arrived at the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion, but when she entered the door, she keenly felt that something was not right about the atmosphere inside.

"What's going on? Where is the person?" Liu Yuerong asked with a frown.

Someone immediately answered her question: "Concubine Qiao is back."

Liu Yuerong's expression changed.

Are you... back?

It seems that the person sent out was indeed someone close to Qiao Xinyu!

"That's great..." Liu Yuerong suppressed the coldness in her tone.

The chamberlain beside her also said: "That's great, please come and see me immediately."

Liu Yuerong pinched the handkerchief. Then Aunt Xiao...

But the chamberlain seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said, "Let's watch the execution before leaving."

Liu Yuerong pursed her lips and suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth.

But the servants of the palace looked panicked, watching the execution? What punishment?

"Where is Aunt Xiao?" the chamberlain asked.

At this time, no one realized the hidden meaning behind these words.

Grandma Xiao was quickly brought over.

Qiao Xinyu was a few steps behind and was helped over.

Under the moonlight.

She walked slowly, and the loose robe she wore no longer looked as elegant as before.

Then he went to the army... His Highness was dead, but she was still alive. How could she still have the dignity to live?

Didn't the hardships of the march wear away the fetus in her belly?

Liu Yuerong stared at the visitor, almost losing her composure.

finally.

Qiao Xinyu is close.

She didn't look haggard, and she didn't even have a trace of fear.

She even gained some weight!

Liu Yuerong clenched her fingers.

The anger in his heart rose to the sky.

Aunt Xiao looked at Liu Yuerong warily, then at Qiao Xinyu, and finally at the person coming from the palace...

"Princess, the concubine has returned from praying for blessings. It's getting late at night, so why don't we all take a rest early." Aunt Xiao said.

Pray?

What prayer?

Liu Yuerong reacted immediately.

Oh, is this the excuse the old godly woman gave Qiao Xinyu? Want to cover up her involvement in the army?

Liu Yuerong said nothing and just walked aside.

The chamberlain then said: "Take it down."

Before Grandma Xiao could react, she was firmly pinned to the ground.

"Execution," the chamberlain said again.

Aunt Xiao looked panicked: "Why is this?"

The person holding her down also asked: "I don't know how to carry out the execution?"

The chamberlain was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, so let's beat him to death first."

Aunt Xiao suddenly looked horrified, but was silenced before she could speak.

Liu Yuerong could no longer hold it in and gave Qiao Xinyu a arrogant look.

The intention of killing chickens to scare monkeys is obvious.

Qiao Xinyu's heart sank. She knew that if the Liu family's plan failed, they would have two plans...

Obviously, she has already complained to the emperor...

But Qiao Xinyu kept her face low and asked the chamberlain: "This is the person Wan Bin admired, and he is also an old man in the house. What mistake did she make?"

Liu Yuerong almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

Still asking?

Qiao Xinyu is really not afraid that her affairs will be exposed!

Let's take care of herself first.

The chamberlain did not answer Qiao Xinyu's words, but said: "The concubine is pregnant, I'm afraid she won't be able to see the blood."

Then he ordered someone to bring a screen.

Liu Yuerong frowned but didn't say anything.

He only turned his eyes to stare at the miserable condition of Grandma Xiao.

The torture stick fell on Granny Xiao's body one after another.

She couldn't scream, but her face quickly turned pale, then turned purple, and then twitched... and there was no movement.

The whole palace of Prince Wei was as silent as a cicada, and all the palace people stood under the eaves, watching this scene in silence.

Liu Yuerong's heart surged with pleasure at first, but after seeing it, she felt no pleasure at all.

When the cane falls again, it's like hitting another ball of rotten flesh...

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to the palace early to meet the saint." said the chamberlain.

The torture stick stopped in response to the sound.

Liu Yuerong looked around and saw fear in these people's eyes as expected.

Next...it's you.

She looked at Qiao Xinyu.

Qiao Xinyu was still asking the chamberlain: "I wonder why your Majesty summoned you?" She seemed a little naive and stupid.

Naturally, the chamberlain would not respond to her voice and hurried back to the palace with the others.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The princes and nobles were still complaining about their sufferings in tears.

At this time, the palace servants only heard: "Your Majesty, Princess Wei is here again."

The princes and nobles were unhappy.

Are you going to let them finish talking today?

Then why is Princess Wei so busy?

Emperor Liang De was also unhappy.

Upon seeing this, the palace man hurriedly added: "The person...has been found."

"Oh..." Emperor Liang De's expression suddenly became much more subtle, "This is a coincidence."
