Chapter 429: Fire
When the people waiting outside saw the emperor walking out angrily, they all hurriedly lowered their heads, did not dare to take another look, and did not dare to come out, only stared at the tips of their shoes and slowed down their breathing.
Gonggong Su stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the humidity in this courtyard is heavy, so the servants will serve you to go outside." ”
The Emperor did not speak, but walked outside.
Father-in-law Su hurriedly waved his hand, and several little palace maids immediately understood, turned around to make tea, and prepared tables and chairs.
In the middle of the night, Leng Yiwei, the king of Qi, appeared in everyone's sight, everyone looked at him quickly, and then lowered their heads again, Leng Yiwei looked at Rong Xi who was standing over there, her eyes swept over gently, her face was like a smile but not a smile, and her bright face was like a delicate flower in this mist.
He took a deep breath, secretly hating himself, how did he see that ugly maid as Rong Xi just now? These two people can't be compared!
Leng Yiwei squinted his eyes slightly, covering the cold light inside, Rong Xi gently picked his lips, the lip flap was red and delicate, but at the moment it was a sarcastic arc.
He gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his head slightly, Rong Qiu followed from behind, and then there was the lowly maid.
Leng Yiwei flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and left slowly.
Rong Qiu's face was pale, the corners of her forehead were slightly moist, and she didn't know if it was because of the mist or because of cold sweat, her fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly under her sleeves.
When Rong Xi saw her come out, she was slightly surprised and said, "Why did my sister come here?" Didn't you say to get something? Let my sister be easy to find. ”
Rong Qiu raised his head, his eyes stared at her fiercely like a poisonous snake, he bit his lip tightly but didn't know what to say, he was bored for a long time, and could only whisper: "Sister, good means!" ”
"What is my sister talking about?" Rong Xi wondered, "What the hell is going on?" She glanced at the servant girl a few times as she spoke, "Huh...... Fourth brother and sister, isn't this your maid's name Cui'er? ”
Princess Ying also set her eyes on Cui'er, she stepped forward and exclaimed, "Yes, Cui'er, how did you end up here?" Didn't you say that your stomach hurts, did this princess let you go back first? ”
Everyone lowered their heads and listened, coming and going, and they all had a general idea in their hearts, where did this Cui'er have a stomachache, it was clear that she had found an excuse to come here to have a tryst with King Qi, I am afraid that she was bent on dreaming of being a phoenix on the branches!
Cui'er was ashamed, but she didn't know what was going on, so she could only shake her head and say in a trembling voice: "Princess, slave maid...... The slave doesn't know either......"
"I don't know? How could you not know? How did you get here yourself, you don't know? The princess was angry, and her tone was heavier.
Teardrops of Cui'er's eyes fell, and she hung her head and sobbed lowly.
"Get out of here!" The Emperor shouted coldly.
Princess Ying was silent with interest, and Cui'er hurriedly followed Rong Qiu and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Father," Leng Yiwei also knelt down and said: "The son is guilty, and he also asks the son to punish him." ”
Rong Xi and Leng Yixiu glanced at each other quickly, she hooked her lips and smiled, a sneering light flashed in her eyes, this Leng Yiwei is very smart, he admits his mistakes when he comes up, and he is not in a hurry to justify the ugly thing, he also knows that now it is just a blind justification, which can only make the anger in the emperor's heart heavier and add fuel to the fire.
When the emperor heard him admit his mistake, his face softened a little and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Leng Yiwei hung his head, his eyes fell on the bluestone brick ground under him, his thick eyelashes blocked the cold light under his eyes, he also wanted to know what was going on, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and the whole thing, there is no doubt that he was tricked, but what is this plan? Just to make something happen to yourself and this servant? It's a bit too much effort.
It's just that at the moment he is only a part of this plan, and in it, he can't see the whole plan more and more clearly, he took a breath and said in a low voice: "Back to my father's words, it's all to blame for the ministers, I ate a few more glasses of wine, I originally wanted to come here to sober up, but I just ...... found this little girl and saw that she was born with a beautiful face...... The son-in-law was drunk and immoral, and he asked his father to punish him. ”
Rong Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Leng Yiwei's back, she had to admire Leng Yiwei's mind, in such a short period of time, he was able to come up with such a statement, and in this kind of unfavorable situation for him, his statement could be regarded as the least damaged.
A prince and prince fell in love with a little girl and took over the house, which is nothing, right? What royal palace or even an official's palace does not have such a thing? It's just that some of them were seen by the emperor, and some of them weren't.
The emperor's face softened again, if it was really just like that, it was nothing, he turned his head to look at Cui'er, "I came to ask you, who are you?" ”
Where has Cui'er seen the emperor, although she is serving by Princess Ning's side, she is still not qualified to follow her into the palace, so this is the first time she has seen the emperor.
She was nervous in her heart, and hurriedly bowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave maid is from the British Prince's Mansion, and she usually follows the side of the British Princess, and her name is Cui'er." ”
"Princess, but so?" The Emperor turned his head to look at the British Princess.
Princess Ying stepped forward and saluted: "Back to my father's words, Cui'er is indeed a person from the British Palace, today's son's personal girl Fu'er suddenly fell ill, so she had to temporarily replace Cui'er. ”
She paused, seemed to sigh and said: "The prince usually blames the ministers for being too soft-hearted, so that the slaves and maids are not very easy to control, and now it seems that the prince is very right, it is the daughter-in-law who is not strict in governing the family, and he also asks the father to punish him." ”
Everyone hung their heads slightly, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Rong Xi smiled slightly, he knew that Princess Ying was smart and calm, and in such a situation, he really knew it.
Cui'er said that she usually follows the side of the British princess, if the emperor really blames it and pulls out the radish and brings out the mud, the British princess, who is the master, will naturally be punished, and at this time, the British princess quietly explained that her personal maid is not the Cui'er in front of her at all, but Fu'er, but Fu'er suddenly fell ill, maybe...... There's a reason why this disease came so coincidentally.
Isn't this what the British princess said later? Usually his heart is too soft, and he is reluctant to punish those maids and slaves, and he doesn't care about them one by one, isn't this Cui'er in front of him a good example?
Cui'er's face turned pale, and her kneeling feet couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The emperor's cold gaze swept around, like a fierce wind in winter, blowing on everyone's faces, "It hasn't been long since your body has just healed, I thought about letting you come to the mountain villa to breathe and recuperate, but I didn't think that this kind of thing would happen!" Indeed, it deserves to be punished! ”
His gaze slid over everyone, but the words were said to Leng Yiwei, Leng Yiwei listened to his words, and between the lines was to excuse himself, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The son is guilty and is willing to accept the punishment." ”
The emperor's tone was still cold, but the faint aura of solemnity disappeared, and he muttered for a moment and said, "In this case, then you will be punished for returning to the house, and you will be closed for a month, and you will not be allowed to go out!" Stay in peace and copy the scriptures. ”
"Yes." Leng Yiwei kowtowed, "Erchen obeys the order." ”
Rong Xi snorted coldly in his heart, what a heavy punishment.
"So ......" The emperor was about to say that everyone was dispersed, when suddenly Xiao'er whispered: "Princess! ”
Everyone's eyes were attracted, Leng Yixiu's face was also anxious, hugging Concubine Rong who had fainted and calling in a low voice, and Princess Ying also hurried over, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
Rong Qiu hesitated, wiped his eyes, and stepped forward with a trembling voice, "Sister......"
"Mrs. Rong, please stand back!" Leng Yixiu suddenly spoke, his voice was cold and sharp, there was no temperature in those eyes, there were no waves, but people were afraid for no reason.
Rong Qiu was stunned and couldn't help but take a breath.
"You still don't think she's hurt enough?" Leng Yixiu squinted his eyes slightly, and there was an indifferent light in his eyes.
Rong Qiu bit his lip and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning, this is ...... Why? My sister fainted for no reason...... I'm worried, too. ”
"Really?" Leng Yixiu smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "What did you say outside the hospital just now?" Do you remember? You forgot, this king hasn't forgotten! ”
Rong Qiu opened his mouth and was thinking about how to explain, when suddenly Xiao'er stood up and said slowly: "The princess didn't faint for no reason. ”
Everyone was shocked, Rong Qiu was even more stunned, Leng Yiwei looked at this scene, his heart felt like a rubber band was tied, he was pulled far and near, floating uncertainly, he always felt that this matter was not so simple, sure enough, people were in trouble.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Xiao'er walked quickly to the emperor and knelt down, bowing deeply to the ground, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the princess." ”
The emperor looked at Xiao'er in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on? ”
Xiao'er took a deep breath, and word by word clearly fell into everyone's ears, "Go back to the emperor, just ...... The princess was going out to look for Mrs. Rong, worried that she would suddenly disappear and not know where she went, afraid that she would have an accident, who knows...... Who knows......"
Xiao'er paused, but didn't look at Rong Qiu, just lowered her eyes, but the expression on her face was as firm as iron, "Just about to open the courtyard door, I heard Mrs. Rong's voice, she pleaded with my prince for the princess, saying that the princess had a hard time, the princess was very surprised when she heard it, and she didn't know what was going on." ”
