Chapter 9 Working together to save people
Xu Qi saluted Feng Yu with a fist and said respectfully: "Princess Qiyu, what this person has done, the subordinates really don't know, the subordinates just act according to the order, and they want to take this person back to deal with it." ”
The eunuch prostrate in front of Feng Yu, kowtowed and begged: "Princess, help, if the slave goes back with them, his life will be gone." ”
"Bold!" Xu Qi scolded sharply, "You slave resists the decree, now you dare to disturb the princess, and you don't want to go back with me to be punished." With that, Xu Qi asked his soldiers to catch the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground.
"Stop!" Feng Yu raised her hand to stop the forbidden army who was about to step forward, and said, "Since this matter has been touched by this princess, I will not sit idly by." ”
The soldier looked at Xu Qi in embarrassment, Xu Qi wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Xiao Yan next to him cast a sharp gaze, he motioned for the soldier to stop.
Feng Yu looked at the eunuch on the ground and said, "You tell Princess Ben first, what mistake did you make?" ”
"Slave, slave is the person in the palace of Concubine Huigui, who is responsible for feeding the rabbits raised by Niangniang. Today, the slave went to feed the rabbit on time as before, but when he got there, he saw that the rabbit was dead. ”
The little eunuch knelt on the ground tremblingly, and cried: "Concubine Hui loves rabbits, and now that rabbits are being raised to death by slaves, Concubine Hui wants to put the slaves to death." ”
Feng Yu frowned slightly, and said in a serious tone: "There is such a thing, a rabbit uses a human life to resist, then Concubine Hui is too ruthless." ”
Hearing Fengyu's words, the little eunuch immediately kowtowed heavily, "Ask the princess to save the slave." ”
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor loved the princess very much, and if the princess came to the rescue, his life should be saved.
Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan next to her and asked, "What does the general think about this?" ”
"This is a matter of the harem, and the minister does not dare to make a judgment." Xiao Yan said respectfully, then looked at the little eunuch, then at Feng Yu, and continued: "But the noble concubine's move is indeed too vicious. ”
What Feng Yu wants to hear is the latter sentence, if Xiao Yan gives in to this or has an attitude that it doesn't matter to herself, then she will have to get to know him again.
"What the general said is very true."
Feng Yu looked at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You and I went with me to meet my father, and you told my father about this matter through 1510, and I believe that my father will handle it impartially." ”
"Thank you, princess, thank you, general."
Feng Yu raised her eyes to look at Xu Qi and said, "Leader Xu, can you hear what the princess said?" If you still insist on taking this man back, do it to me. ”
Seeing this, Xu Qi's face changed, and he knew that he couldn't stop Fengyu and Xiao Yan, so he immediately knelt down and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”
However, Feng Yu kept an eye on it, she guessed that when she went to the emperor, the emperor would definitely interrogate about this matter, and Xu Qi was one of the witnesses.
So Xu Qi was also forced to go with him.
When she arrived at the emperor, Feng Yu told the emperor about the eunuch, and the emperor did ask the eunuch to explain the matter in detail.
Not only that, but also asked Xu Qi if there was indeed something wrong, but Xu Qi insisted that he didn't know what happened, he just obeyed Concubine Hui's order to arrest the eunuch back.
The emperor didn't expect Concubine Hui to be so arrogant and domineering, she always looked gentle and lovable when she saw her on weekdays, but she was so willful behind her back.
"Someone, pass on the wisdom of the concubine."
After a while, Concubine Hui came to everyone, and when she saw the eunuch kneeling on the ground, her face changed instantly.
"The concubines see the emperor."
"The eunuch kneeling on the ground, can the concubine know?"
Seeing Feng Yu and Xiao Yan standing next to her, Concubine Hui knew that she couldn't avoid it, and if she lied again at this time, she would definitely anger the emperor.
"Back to the emperor, this eunuch is from the palace of the concubine, I don't know what he did and kneeling here?"
"You're pretending to be innocent." The emperor snorted coldly and said sharply: "Dignified concubine, you are so vicious in doing things, have you ever thought about your identity?!" ”
"What does the emperor mean by this?"
The emperor got up and walked up to Concubine Hui and said, "He said that because he raised a rabbit in your palace, you asked him to die, is this true?" ”
"The emperor is aware that the concubines are wronged."
Seeing Hui Guifei's pitiful appearance, Feng Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Guifei Niangniang, now that this person is here, how can she still shirk like this?" ”
"Princess, what are these words? What I haven't done, I can't admit it. Concubine Hui looked at Feng Yudao, and then turned her head to look at the emperor, tears began to accumulate in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, this matter was originally a trivial matter, and it was a matter in the palace of the concubines, but the princess intervened here, presumably intentionally framing the concubines."
Feng Yu stared at Hui Guifei with wide eyes, such a noble concubine who opened her eyes and said nonsense, so shameless made her speechless for a while.
"What the concubine said is to frame the princess."
Xiao Yan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke up, he glanced at Concubine Hui Guifei, who was looking at him, and then turned his head to face the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the princess has been with her ministers today, and when she returned to the palace, she met the eunuch who was being chased, and the princess ordered the ministers to stop and ask casually, and when she learned the whole thing, she couldn't bear it, so she came to the emperor."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Concubine Hui immediately changed her words and said, "The concubine never wanted to frame the princess, but she ...... It's just that this eunuch did raise the rabbit raised by the concubine, but the concubine just wanted to scare him, but didn't want to ......"
"Just to scare him, as for letting the forbidden army chase people in the palace?" The emperor said in a deep voice.
Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, and then explained in a low voice: "Concubine, concubine didn't expect him to escape, so she was angry for a while, so she asked the forbidden army to arrest him." ”
"I'll ask you one last time, do you have the order to take this eunuch's life?"
The emperor looked at her with a gloomy face, Concubine Hui was silent and didn't dare to speak, Xiao Yan said again: "Your Majesty, there must be other people present in this matter, if the concubine Niangniang is unwilling to answer, you can announce the people present at the time, and you will know as soon as you ask." ”
As soon as Xiao Yan's voice fell, Concubine Hui immediately said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and it was the concubine who was in a hurry to give the order. ”
The emperor looked at her coldly and snorted, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "According to the general, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Xiao Yan bent down and saluted with his fists, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, although this matter is in the emperor's harem, the punishment is related to the laws of the country. If everyone does not act according to the law like the noble concubine, then what reputation do I have in the north to face the people and other countries. ”
"What's more, the noble concubine Niangniang has a noble status, but she does not set an example, if this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely lead others to follow suit, and it will not mess up the laws of our country."
"The general said it well."
The emperor nodded approvingly, looked at Concubine Hui and said, "As a concubine of the Northern Capital, she does not play an exemplary role, and she is arrogant and domineering; Second, they are unrepentant and have no mercy. ”
"Fortunately, this matter did not cause a big mistake, and punished Concubine Hui for being grounded in her bedroom for a month, so reflect on it."
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, so spare the concubine this time." Concubine Hui cried and begged.
Concubine Hui thought that the emperor would be punished lightly because she loved herself, but the emperor was not moved at all, and directly ordered the palace maid next to her to take her back to the palace.
Seeing the emperor treat her like this, Concubine Hui's hatred for Feng Yu deepened even more, if she hadn't provoked it, she would not have been grounded.
When things calmed down, Feng Yu bowed to the emperor, "Father, if there is nothing else, the sons will retreat first." ”
The emperor looked at her lovingly and nodded, and instructed: "Okay, you still have injuries on your body, go back and rest well." ”
"Yes, the son thanked his father."
"Wechen also retired." Xiao Yan also saluted, and after getting permission, turned around and followed behind Feng Yu.
