Volume 1 Harem Tricks Chapter 41 Fire 2
"Things outside the body, hahahahahahaha Talking about this warehouse today, the things burned are enough for more than a dozen ordinary people to live for a lifetime. How can just a fluttering omission erase all the faults? Tang Mingruo suddenly appeared from behind and interrupted Queen Shu Yaqi's words.
"Your Majesty." The queen mother originally wanted to say something, but Emperor Changzhi's expression revealed a little impatience, so she could only give up.
Emperor Changzhi has never been an extravagant and wasteful person, and the things that have been prepared in the entire treasury recently. In fact, they are all just things to save face when the envoys of the Western Kingdom come in a few days. If this was the usual case, Emperor Changzhi would definitely not have murderous intent because of something like Qiao Ruoli, but now it is very different.
"Your Majesty, Ah Li, no, it's the people of Qiaone, although there is a fault. However, today there was a lot of fire. Regardless of his personal safety, he insisted on rushing in to rescue the ingredients. You see, we salvaged these things. When the bell saw the queen mother, she couldn't help but panic, and quickly crawled over, knelt on the ground and pleaded with Emperor Changzhi.
"Your Majesty's fault today is all Ping'er's fault. I hope Your Majesty won't implicate Sister Ruoli, you see that Sister Ruoli's arms have been burned like this. It was all the slave and maid's fault, and it was the slave and maid who accidentally knocked over the candlestick, which caused such a disaster today. Seeing this, Ping'er also went up to plead.
Qiao Ruoli knew that he and Ping'er were now both prosperous and loss-making. After all, the errand was ordered to Ping'er by herself, and if she made a mistake, she would inevitably be punished, but if she took the blame on herself three times and twice, Qiao Ruoli couldn't bear it, and quickly pleaded for mercy.
"Your Majesty, the subordinate has committed the crime of inspection, and the subordinate is willing to bear it." Qiao Ruoli knows that although people's hearts may not be able to change people's hearts, if others give their hearts, how can they not repay their hearts?
"Guifei Niangniang, the sisterhood between Ping'er and Qiao Neiren is really touching, but the slave maid has a sentence that is not worth talking about." A second-class palace maid who was following Tang Mingruo suddenly appeared and spoke.
"At this time, if there is anything that should not be said, don't say it quickly. You must know that most of the things burned today were used by the envoys of the Western Night Kingdom when they came, and now it is too late to prepare even now. Tang Mingruo said.
"It's the concubine Niangniang, what the slave wants to say is that the slave just ran to Gong because of abdominal pain, and I just happened to meet this Ping'er and also want to go in, so what candlesticks are fake, and the slave is willing to guarantee with her life." The second-class palace maid said a little proudly, as if she had seen that she had been rewarded by Tang Mingruo for her ability to do this errand.
"Hahaha, the girl next to the concubine is very articulate, but Xian'er is very curious, how did she, a palace maid of Rongming Palace, go to the place where Shangshi is to go to the toilet? Isn't that strange? Song Qingxian also stood up and said at this time.
"Xian'er is right, isn't there a person around the concubine who is bent on pleasing the master and climbing the high branches." Shu Yaqi saw that Tang Mingruo hadn't thought of any rebuttal for a while, so she hurriedly interjected, and the implication was that the concubine didn't know how to sympathize with people and used people without beads.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid has never seen this sister, since this sister said that she can guarantee with her life, then the slave maid will use her life to repay her innocence." Although Ping'er is timid and afraid of things and not very clever, she can still tell who is really good to him or fake.
Qiao Ruoli gave up his life today to find more ingredients to come out, not only to help Qiao Ruoli himself, but also to help himself, Ping'er knew that the crime she committed today was a heinous crime, and she also missed Qiao Ruoli's help, and never thought of putting all the blame on herself, so she also made up her mind at this time, and after saying that, she crashed into the stone lion.
Seeing this, Qiao Ruoli wanted to stop Ping'er, but in the end it was still a step too late, and Ping'er had already bumped into it, but fortunately, Qiao Ruoli also caught Ping'er in time, so although her head was injured, her life was not in danger.
When Emperor Changzhi saw the commotion in front of him, he suddenly felt a little impatient in his heart, glanced at the queen and said, "What does the queen want?" Since you are the lord of the six houses, then you can tell me what you plan to do with these individuals! ”
"This ......." Emperor Changzhi's words turned fast enough, and Queen Shu Yaqi really didn't know how to answer this sentence for a while, so she could only look at Song Qingxian for help, after all, Song Qingxian came to ask her for help today, and she had to come up with a plan to calm Emperor Changzhi's anger.
"Father, my son has an idea." Song Qingxian saw that Queen Shu Yaqi was embarrassed, and hurriedly spoke.
"Say it." Emperor Changzhi looked at the bustling people in this courtyard, and only felt that his head hurt badly.
"In recent days, the retainer has often been able to eat the fresh things made by this Qiao Nei in the queen mother's house, so it is better to order this Qiao Nei to prepare a table of banquets, and invite the ministers to taste, if she has won the appreciation of the ministers, then let her wait until the envoys of the West Night Kingdom come to let her do it, if not, she will chop off her hands and throw her out of the palace." Song Qingxian said with a smile on his face.
It's just Song Qingxian's smile. made Qiao Ruoli only feel terrifying. Qiao Ruoli silently clenched his hands into fists, hoping to reduce the presence of his hands. He didn't want his hands to be cut off here. His hands. Not only can you eat, but you can also work. can also heal people, this is the capital for him to survive and live out of the palace in the future!
"Xian'er's idea is not bad. Your Majesty will do what Xian'er said according to the wishes of the concubines. This can not only reflect the majesty of our royal family, but also reflect the fact that we treat the people below when they make mistakes, and we are never blindly harsh. Shu Yaqi echoed.
"Just do as you say, the envoys of the Western Night Kingdom will enter Beijing in five days, so the day you said will be set in two days." Emperor Changzhi stroked his sleeves and turned around and left, Zhao Bin saw this, and hurriedly saluted the other masters present and followed.
The biggest leader in this palace is also gone, and the others naturally won't stay here for long. So they followed one after another. It's just that when Song Qingxian walked out of the gate of this courtyard, he glanced back at Qiao Ruoli with a worried look on his face. But Qiao Ruoli didn't find out, he was just taking care of the injured people around him.
"Xian'er, on weekdays, you and the queen are quite close. It's just that you're a piece of meat that fell off my body. The concubine also misses you very much, and occasionally you still have to go to the concubine's palace to do more. Concubine Tang Mingruo walked out of the door of the courtyard, stopped Song Qingxian and spoke.
"Mother, what are you talking about? Since I was born to you, nature will never change. But my father, in the early years, ordered me to be raised by my mother's side, and my mother has treated me like a biological mother over the years, and I naturally can't let her down. And in these years, isn't there a king by the side of the concubine? In that case, why should you worry about my son? Song Qing replied with a smile on his face.
"Xian'er, are you complaining that I only have kindness to you, not kindness? Xian'er, do you know how my heart hurts when you say this about me? Tang Mingruo said and left a few tears out, but these tears were worthless in Song Qingxian's eyes.
"Where did the concubine say this? Two sons born to the mother. A five-year-old grew up under the queen's knees. One has been raised under the knees of the Queen Mother since he was eight years old. The mother concubine gave birth to two children raised by the most noble women in the world, and many people can't get this blessing! Song Qingxian still said with a smile, but his steps took two steps back.
"Xian'er, are you still complaining that I was biased towards Li'er back then? But you know, he is younger than you, don't the older children have to let the younger ones go? It's the mother's fault, and the mother's fault is that there is no bowl of water. Tang Mingruo saw Song Qingxian retreating, and couldn't help but want to take two steps in and catch him, but Song Qingxian had kung fu, how could he be caught by a woman.
"What the mother said is really easy, if it wasn't for General Cheng's help, I, the child who was pushed out by you, would probably have died in the hands of the assassin long ago, in order to protect you and my brother, I once risked my life, since the grace has been repaid, now I have to repay the mother's nurturing grace!" Song Qingxian saw that this woman was really difficult, so she could only leave the next sentence and turn away.
Tang Mingruo saw that Song Qingxian was so ruthless, and he was unwilling to stop him again and again, so he could only turn around and leave, but when he returned to the palace, Tang Mingruo couldn't help his temper and smashed several objects before sitting on the edge of the stool and gasping for air.
"Concubine Niangniang, please drink tea and moisten your throat." A little palace maid walked up with some fright, but Tang Mingruo overturned the hot tea and sprinkled the palace maid, but the palace maid didn't dare to say a word.
"An immature white-eyed wolf!" Tang Mingruo shouted as if he meant something.
At this time, an old lady walked out and motioned to the people around her to hurry down, and only when the people were clean did she speak: "Has the concubine Niangniang forgotten Mrs. Tang's instructions to you?" ”
"Hahaha, entrustment? Let me please that little? A white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! Just because now he is full of saints? Joke, isn't it good to leave me without him to support me? Tang Mingruo smiled hideously, but the grandmother on the side was not afraid.
"Mother, the old slave said something arrogant! You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you have to plan and plan, so you have to plan and plan to get what you want! It's not a good thing for the mother to be so anxious, be careful of being caught. The old woman said.
