"This palace didn't see anything except the eunuchs holding on to Concubine Zhen!" Then he looked around at everyone present with compassion, "Aren't you different from what you see in this palace?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs and palace maids drooped their heads one by one, asking them to embarrass the unfavored concubine They still have a little courage, but if they want to offend the big red concubine Chen Niangniang in front of the emperor, then they will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they will find death.

Tang Meiren looked at the eunuchs and palace maids around her and bowed their heads silently, and scolded angrily: "A group of useless dog things!" Tang Meiren was angry and grabbed the sleeve of the Taoist priest on the side, and said sharply: "You say! What did you see? You're a monk, you can't lie, do you?! ”

The Taoist priest hesitated for a long time, but finally replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Poor Dao... Poor Dao did see that it was Concubine Zhen who injured herself. ”

Tang Meiren seemed to have a backing, looked directly into Shangmu Qing's eyes, and said confidently: "Did you hear that?!" It was Concubine Zhen who hurt herself, and it has nothing to do with us! ”

"Oh? Dao Chief, you have to think it through. Mu Qing's dark eyes turned cold and devouring, his vision was as sharp as a knife blade, and even the air around him seemed to turn condensed in an instant. When the palace is down, where will I tell the emperor about this matter, do you guess that the emperor will believe the two concubine sisters and the palace? Or will you believe that you are a Taoist priest from outside the palace? ”

The Taoist priest who spoke just now was stunned suddenly, his face was a little ugly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and stepped aside, no longer speaking.

At this moment, Tang Meiren was even more angry, she understood the threat in Concubine Chen's words, and she understood that this Concubine Chen did have such a ability. Now the emperor is very fond of Concubine Chen, I'm afraid that no matter what Concubine Chen says, the emperor will believe it, right? Tang Meiren looked back at herself, she had been tepidly consumed in the palace for so many years, and the emperor came to her palace to sit when he thought of her, but when he didn't think of her, he couldn't see her for months.

Tang Meiren thought in her heart: If Concubine Chen really told the emperor about today's incident, she would have just asked a few Taoist priests to do it, and it didn't matter, but now that Concubine Zhen was injured, then the matter would not be so simple. At that time, if the emperor blames him and lynched the imperial concubine and prince, this crime is not small. Thinking of this, Tang Meiren was even more annoyed in her heart, but she had no choice but Concubine Chen's position was higher than her, and if she was clearly contradicting it now, she was afraid that it would be even more unpleasant, so Tang Meiren could only endure her unwillingness and resentment, staring at Concubine Chen.

Seeing that Tang Meiren was already furious, and seeing that she was on the verge of collapse, Mu Qing suddenly softened her expression again, and said with a coquettish smile: "Oh, in fact, this palace doesn't want to make such a big deal about it, the emperor is busy with government affairs, if he disturbs the emperor for such trivial things, this palace also feels uncomfortable." ”

Tang Meiren is also very smart, as soon as she heard this, she knew that Concubine Chen had something to say, so she rolled her eyes and thought: After all, this matter is the queen's idea, and she wants her to find a way to trick Concubine Zhen's mother and son to scare the mother and son. But now that Concubine Chen has inserted a foot into it, why should she have a hard time with Concubine Chen, and when she can't eat and walk around, she will become the queen's substitute ghost?

So when the shape was unfavorable to Tang Meiren, she immediately changed her complexion, and her flattery was very good. "My sister is right, we concubines naturally hope that the harem can be harmonious and peaceful, and the emperor can make as little trouble as possible, and the concubine believes that the queen thinks so in her heart."

After all, in front of so many people, since Tang Meiren is soft, then Mu Qing wants to give enough face to others. So Mu Qing said modestly and politely: "That's good, since you and my sister's hearts are the same, then there is a little mention in the palace now, I wonder if my sister can hear it?" ”

"Sister Concubine Chen is polite, sister Jin Yu is good, and my sister should listen to herself." Tang Meiren said respectfully.

Mu Qing glanced at Tang Meiren's flattering smile, and a faint voice poured out of her lips, and there was no trace of love surging on her emaciated face. "It's not early, Concubine Zhen and His Royal Highness the eldest prince should kowtow, it's better for my sister to let them go like this, and then go back to tell the queen that the matter has been successfully completed. As soon as the queen is happy, maybe she will reward her sister for doing things well, anyway, most of the rituals have been completed, and her sister is not considered to have deceived the queen. As for Concubine Zhen's injury... The palace and Concubine Zhen must not say a word about today's events, and the emperor will not blame his sister and the queen for this matter in the future. After all, the purpose of this palace is just to hope that Sister Concubine Zhen and the eldest prince can rest well and stay away from the right and wrong in the palace, and they do not intend to embarrass your sister. ”

Tang Meiren asked cautiously, "But Concubine Zhen's injury?" ”

Mu Qing smiled indifferently: "The wound outside the skin, it is not small, but it is not big, apply some ointment, promote blood circulation and remove stasis, and you don't have to alarm the imperial doctor." Sister don't have to worry. ”

Tang Meiren thought about it for a while, and felt that Concubine Chen's mention was good, not only could she make her deal with the queen in front of the queen, but also would not publicize today's events, which could be described as the best of both worlds. However, Tang Meiren is really shrewd and cunning, and she is always not at ease when she doesn't get the other party.

"Once everyone here today steps out of the palace gate of Yiqian Palace, they will definitely not reveal a word." Tang Meiren said, her words seemed to be a promise and a temptation to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing naturally knew Tang Meiren's thoughts, and knew that if he didn't give a clear answer, Tang Meiren would not be relieved. So, Mu Qing nodded as if promising and said, "Definitely!" If you break this promise, you will be damned. ”

After getting Concubine Chen's oath, Tang Meiren relieved her heart and leaned over. "The ritual has been completed, and things are going well. The concubine did not disturb Concubine Zhen and His Royal Highness the eldest prince to rest, and retired first. ”

After everyone left Yiqian Palace, Zhu Yu stepped forward to help Concubine Zhen's mother and son up from the ground, and carefully checked the injuries on Shen Zhen's arms.

Shen Zhen bared her teeth in pain, but in order not to let her son worry too much, she still smiled at Liang Xi and comforted: "Mother is fine, Xi'er don't worry." He turned his head to the palace maid beside him and said, "Quickly take His Highness to wash up in the inner room." ”

Before Liang Xi was taken away by the palace maid, he looked at Mu Qing, who was still standing in place, for a long time, and said timidly: "Thank you!" ”

Mu Qing knew that Shen Zhen was deliberately supporting his son, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded in response.

After Liang Xi left, Shen Zhen walked straight to Mu Qing, and the first thing she said was not thanks, but still with a strong sense of vigilance. "Why did you save us?" (To be continued.) )
