Chapter 427: Wronged
"Queen Mother, my sister wants to ask you what Xiaohua has done, I don't think my sister needs to be angry with a palace maid!" Concubine Lin said to the queen, although she is at a disadvantage now, she doesn't know why she still wants to fight, after all, she knows that she can't lose so badly.
The queen glanced at Concubine Lin, and glanced at Concubine Lin with resentment: "Sister, you really can't blame your sister for this kind of thing, you should go back and ask that lowly palace maid what is going on?" Why did you question me instead? ”
Concubine Lin didn't expect the queen to turn against her like this, "Sister, look at what you said." Sister, how could I be questioning you, isn't this Xiaohua leaving? Besides, if Xiaohua went back and told her sister that it was inaccurate, wouldn't her sister have wronged her sister? ”
The queen smiled coldly, she knew very well in her heart that Concubine Lin was not well-intentioned, but since Concubine Lin was like this, then the queen wanted to go with the flow and listen to what she explained. "Then listen to my sister say this, sister, what do you want to know?"
Although the queen's tone made Concubine Lin feel a little uncomfortable, she quickly ignored this detail, because she wanted to make the queen unable to come to the stage, otherwise she would really feel very uncomfortable, which was definitely not allowed to be endured.
"Sister, it's nothing. My sister just wants to ask why Xiaohua is angry with my sister? I must teach her a good lesson when I go back, sister, you can rest assured. After Concubine Lin finished speaking, the queen spoke.
"Sister, when you say that, my sister feels that I am stingy." There was a hint of anger in the queen's tone, Concubine Lin didn't say anything, what she wanted was to calm down and see what else the queen could do.
The queen really opened her mouth again and said to Concubine Lin: "Sister, sister, I am not a person who is unforgiving, but today I was taking a good nap at noon, and suddenly the palace maid broke into the palace, and she didn't explain her intentions, so of course I can't let her go, after all, my sister also knows very well what this is?"
Concubine Lin shook her head when she heard this, and said disapprovingly: "It's not right for my sister to say this, it's normal for the palace maid to accidentally make a mistake, at least for my sister, I will never be locked up like this." My sister couldn't figure out why my sister didn't ask her about it? ”
In fact, Concubine Lin did not let her go after knowing the queen's identity of Xiaohua, but locked her up. wanted to know what the queen thought, so she deliberately pretended not to understand anything.
After hearing Concubine Lin's question, the queen thought about it and said to her with some embarrassment: "I was... I asked the palace maid to ask, but no one told me about the palace maid, so I could only say that she was locked up for illegally breaking into the palace. ”
Concubine Lin nodded disdainfully when she heard this, so she waved to the side.
The queen couldn't figure out what Concubine Lin was doing, so she followed the direction of her hand and looked over.
The queen never expected that Xiaohua would suddenly appear in her sight.
Obviously, she remembered that Xiaohua had been sent back to Concubine Lin's palace, and she suddenly understood that she had been commanded by Concubine Lin.
The queen tried her best to stay calm, but all her micro-expressions were seen in Concubine Lin's eyes.
"I'd like to see how you explain it?" Concubine Lin thought silently in her heart, then raised her head and said to Xiaohua solemnly, "Kneel!"
Concubine Lin's tone shocked the queen, after all, she was still in her trance.
Xiaohua knew what Concubine Lin meant, so she knelt down without saying anything.
"Tell me, what are you doing in the queen's palace, and why don't you explain your identity to the queen, is there any conspiracy?"
The queen had no way to interject, so she could only look at Concubine Lin and question the palace maid in front of her.
Xiaohua said to Concubine Lin aggrievedly: "Niangniang, the slave maid is really wronged, and the slave maid didn't know how to suddenly break into the queen's bedroom without long eyes." But the slave did tell the mother of her identity, you can ask the queen mother! ”
Hearing Xiaohua say this, Concubine Lin smiled silently in her heart and said suspiciously: "Don't talk nonsense, the queen mother has said that she has not seen you, nor has she heard your explanation, do you know how much you are guilty of lying in front of the queen mother?"
Xiaohua shook her head vigorously: "Queen Mother, the slave maid obviously told you!"
Things are getting clearer and clearer, Concubine Lin looked at the queen helplessly, pretending to be embarrassed.
The queen became more and more anxious, she didn't expect Concubine Lin to be so unable to come to the stage!
"I'll see..."The queen said to Concubine Lin, and then pretended to look at Xiaohua carefully.
"Hmm... My sister remembered, I did see this palace maid, she seemed to say something to me, but I didn't hear it clearly! ”
The queen really didn't know what kind of reason she should explain this, and she knew very well in her heart that she could never deny the fact that she had seen this palace maid.
"Let's go down." Concubine Lin said coldly at Xiaohua. Xiaohua hurriedly retreated, she knew that she should not have said the wrong thing, and when Concubine Lin announced her, she had already learned something.
After the queen watched Xiaohua go down, she turned her head to Concubine Lin and said, "Maybe my sister is wrong, sister, please don't think about it." In fact, the queen didn't want to make this matter bigger, because Concubine Lin was indeed reasonable.
When Concubine Lin saw this, her heart suddenly became proud. "How is that possible? My sister said something a little too big. But my sister should give my sister an explanation, otherwise how can I deter the people in my palace? ”
Concubine Lin's first half of the sentence did reassure the queen a lot, but the second half of her next sentence brought the atmosphere to a low point. "Then what does my sister want to say?" The queen asked, pretending not to understand.
"It's nothing. It is... A simple apology! Hearing Concubine Lin speak, the anger in the queen's heart burned, she didn't expect Concubine Lin to be so ambitious, but how could she let Concubine Lin act so arbitrarily!
The queen knew that she was at a loss, so she held back the anger in her heart and said, "Sister, it doesn't seem that serious." Isn't it okay to give this palace maid a little compensation? ”
In the harem, of course, the punishment of the palace maid does not matter even if it is wrong.
But being caught by Concubine Lin, what the queen was afraid of was that she would stab this matter to the emperor, in that case, her impression of the emperor would be a little worse, and she would never allow this.
But as the head of the harem, how could the queen bow her head to a concubine at will and admit her mistakes, it was simply a violation of ethics and morality, and the queen fell into a deep contradiction.
