Chapter 123: The palace maid is paralyzed
Tong Jinghe's scolding made the whole scene quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, everyone present had different expressions.
Of course, Huang Yining had a good look on the show, staring at Tong Jinghe with interest, with a playful and smug look in her beautiful eyes.
Su Qiaotong looked at the palace maid kneeling not far away with some worry, she knew that no matter who won and who lost on the court today, this palace maid would end up miserable.
And Xiao Qianyu frowned tightly, and his handsome face was tense. Rao is that he believes in Tong Jinghe again, and at this time he can also see the strangeness. Especially Tong Jinghe was still shouting and drinking in front of herself, and there were no rules at all.
"Concubine Xian, what are you doing here?" Xiao Qianyu asked with a calm face, a pair of eyes that were as deep as a pool, making people unable to see the thoughts inside.
"Your Majesty...... The queen mother suddenly found such a palace maid of unknown origin and wanted to frame the concubine. The concubines were in a hurry to justify their innocence, so they would lose their temper and hope that the emperor would forgive them. Tong Jinghe hurriedly explained.
Regardless of the facts, the emperor's attitude is the most important.
"I didn't see Ning'er framing you, but you, in front of me, slandered Ning'er, are you guilty?" Xiao Qianyu's face was even more ugly, and the whole person became gloomy, like a ball of thick ink that could not be dissolved, and like a dark cloud before the storm.
Tong Jinghe chuckled in her heart, how could she forget that the emperor loves the queen the most, how can she say that the queen is not in front of him?
"The concubine is guilty, please calm the emperor's anger." Tong Jinghe was busy crying, and looked at Xiao Qianyu pitifully.
After all, it has just been warm. Yu Wen was still there, Xiao Qianyu was angry in his heart, but when he saw Tong Jinghe's weak and helpless look, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and his brows gradually relaxed. The whole person was like the sun passing through the dark clouds, and it slowly became clearer, and it was no longer as terrifying as just now.
"It's good to know the guilt, and don't talk nonsense in the future." After speaking, Xiao Qianyu turned his head to look at Huang Yining. As if worried that she had an opinion about her soft-heartedness.
Huang Yining didn't care. There is not too much expression on her face, what she cares about most now is the truth of this matter, as for Tong Jinghe's coquettishness. She is like a floating cloud. I don't care at all.
Now I saw Xiao Qianyu turn his head to look at himself. Huang Yining naturally met his eyes and asked easily, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask this palace maid?" See what she knows. ”
Huang Yining's words are very lethal. Tong Jinghe, who was pretending to be innocent and helpless just now, instantly became ruthless after hearing this.
This Huang Yining! Do you really want to play me to death?
Xiao Qianyu nodded, turned her head and asked the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over: "Which palace are you from?" Do you know what's going on today? ”
As soon as Xiao Qianyu's majestic voice sounded, the palace maid's body, which could barely be supported, suddenly softened, as if she didn't even have the strength to kneel.
She seemed to be paralyzed by fright.
"Xiao Guozi!" Seeing that the palace maid was scared enough, Xiao Qianyu frowned and glanced at Xiao Guozi who was standing aside.
"Yes." Xiao Guozi hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the palace maid up from the ground, dragged her to the side of the main hall, let her lean against the pillar, and then raised his hand and beckoned the little eunuch next to him to bring a bowl of soup.
Xiao Guozi broke the palace maid's teeth and forcibly poured a mouthful of soup.
"Ahem......" The palace maid was choked and coughed.
Seeing that she had recovered from her, Xiao Guozi hurriedly stood up and stepped aside.
After the palace maid drank a sip of the soup, her spirit was obviously better than just now, but her expression was even more panicked and helpless.
She looked at Tong Jinghe tentatively, but found that the latter was looking at her seriously and coldly, and the meaning in that expression was quite obvious: If you dare to betray your master, not only you, but also your family will suffer a catastrophe.
The palace maid was frightened by this look, and her body shrank involuntarily.
"Huh?" Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Xiao Qianyu became a little impatient, and her tail note rose, and her tone was full of impatience.
The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please ask the emperor to spare his life!" Slaves...... The slave doesn't know anything...... Didn't know anything......"
As she spoke, her tears flowed involuntarily, and her shoulders began to shake violently.
"Bold minion! In front of the emperor's majesty, you still dare to hide something, how many heads do you have? Huang Yining shouted suddenly.
This scolding scared the palace maid to the core, she was a thief herself, and just because of Tong Jinghe's threat on the side, she gritted her teeth and wanted to fool the past. However, at this time, seeing that the emperor and the queen were full of anger, she couldn't stand such a prestige at all, and couldn't help blurting out: "The slaves and maids are all obeying the instructions of the virtuous concubine Niangniang......"
As soon as the words came out, Tong Jinghe's face changed greatly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tong Jinghe said angrily. She couldn't believe that this palace maid was so bold, her main owner was still beside her, she dared to sell her lord for glory, she didn't know that if she Tong Jinghe fell, there would be no one to protect her little palace maid.
It's stupid! Stupid! Tong Jinghe was so angry that her palms trembled slightly.
However, she knew very well that she must not lose her temper at this time, otherwise, she would really fall for Huang Yining's tricks.
Huang Yining turned her head to look at Tong Jinghe with a smile, as if admiring the restrained expression on her face that she was angry and did not dare to say. This kind of cat teasing mouse posture made Tong Jinghe angry in her heart, and she couldn't care so much for a while, so she fought back.
"Your Majesty, what is the origin of this palace maid, the concubine doesn't know at all, let alone why she wants to pour dirty water on the concubine's body as soon as she comes up, doing this is no benefit to her little palace maid, who is behind her back?" As she spoke, she looked at Huang Yining without being humble or arrogant.
Huang Yining just smiled lightly: "Concubine Xian, why are you so excited, isn't the emperor asking her?" The answers to the questions you just asked are all in this palace maid. ”
"The concubine is now suspicious, she was deliberately instructed by someone to frame the concubine, so the spearhead is directed at the concubine. She can't confront me as a witness, and what she says has no credibility. Tong Jinghe raised her face, a pair of beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the on-demand momentum really made people a little confused, especially Xiao Qianyu. He even somewhat believed that Tong Jinghe was framed.
"Concubine Xian, don't be impatient," Xiao Qianyu said comfortingly, "Regardless of whether she was arranged by someone else to frame you, let's hear what she has to say first." (To be continued.) )
