Chapter 135: Offsetting the merits and demerits
The eunuchs in the water went over to pick up people.
The palace people helped the two girls to the nearest Changqing Hall for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat.
The ladies were not in the mood to play, and they all gathered in the middle palace.
Empress Zhuang sat on the top and said majestically, "Who can tell the palace what is going on, how did the two good girls fall into the pool." ”
All the nobles looked at each other, and they couldn't say why, they just cared about talking to Qi Xiangxi, Hu Xing suddenly fell down, and then Li Caixia.
Seeing that no one spoke, Queen Zhuang's voice suddenly became low, "Why, there are so many people, and no one has seen anything?" ”
Qi Zhongya, who had been waiting beside her, obviously saw a woman in pea green clothes tremble, she was not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, she had never experienced such a scene, and her face was a little pale.
Qi Zhongya said, "Did that girl have something to think about?" ”
Her voice is gentle and relaxing.
Everyone looked at each other, I don't know who Qi Zhongya was talking about, the woman in bean green clothes, but she felt Qi Zhongya's direct gaze, and she was at a loss for a while.
Finally, he stood up tremblingly, and said with a face full of horror, "Hui Empress...... Niangniang, the courtiers didn't see anyone pushing Miss Hu, she only knew that Xu Fangfei and Hu Xing had a tongue before the incident, and at the time of the incident, Xu Fangfei was the closest to Hu Xing. ”
Xu Fangfei stood up with a pale face, knelt down on her knees, and cried, "Niangniang, although the courtiers have a tongue with Hu Xing, it is absolutely harmless. ”
Queen Zhuang didn't scream, she looked at Xu Fangfei with sharp eyes, and Xu Fangfei was still shouting grievances.
Qi Xiangxuan also changed his clothes and came back.
First saluted Queen Zhuang, and gave him a seat before he said, "Queen Mother, Erchen listened roughly outside the door, Queen Mother don't worry, I think there are too many people on the arch bridge, and I accidentally fell down." ”
When Qi spoke to Xiangxi, Queen Zhuang would always listen, and she eased her expression and said, "The queen mother knows that you are always so soft-hearted, and it is only about the reputation of the two girls, but you can't be sloppy." ”
At this time, another noble girl stood up, she was not as frightened as the two just now, her expression was calm and respectful, and she said, "Queen Mother, Fifth Highness, although the courtiers didn't see how Hu Xing fell into the water, but the courtiers saw that Li Caixia was knocked down by the Showa County Lord." ”
"Min-yeon?"
Qi Xiangxuan listened to her words, and contemplation flashed in his eyes.
Empress Zhuang looked around, but she didn't see Minyan, so she asked the palace people around her, "Go and invite the Showa County Lord." ”
The noble girl obviously said that she saw Minyan knock Li Caixia into the water with her own eyes, but Queen Zhuang still used the invitation, which shows her status.
The little palace maid nodded, but before she could walk out of the palace gate, she was blocked by Min Yan.
Also came Qi Zhongxin and the Yu sisters.
"The queen doesn't need to send someone to call Minyan, Minyan is also looking for the queen."
As he spoke, he threw the little palace maid who had just been kicked off the bridge in, and the little palace maid fell heavily to the ground, and her already pale face was even more bloodless.
The queen's color changed, and Mama An sank her face for a moment, but she still said patiently, "What does the county lord mean by this, but this little palace maid has made the county lord unhappy, and the county lord told the slave and maid that the slave and maid will be severely punished." ”
Everyone was shocked by her appearance, but no one noticed that Qi Xiangxi's face changed slightly.
Min Yan said respectfully to the queen, "Niangniang, it's not that Min Yan made a big fuss and deliberately couldn't get along with this little palace maid, but Min Yan saw with her own eyes that she wanted to hit someone into the water, and Min Yan only cared about saving people, but she didn't check and bumped into Miss Li, which caused Miss Li to get this disaster." ”
Empress Zhuang said in disbelief, "You mean, someone instructed her to deliberately hit someone into the water?" ”
"Did anyone instruct Min Yan not to know, Min Yan only knew that she wanted to run away when she hit someone."
Qi Zhongya made a different voice, "County Lord, you said that the little palace maid deliberately hit someone, who did she hit?" Can anyone else see it? ”
Yu Jingxin just wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Minyan.
Qi Zhongxin wanted to say something, but she didn't see what happened, so she could only be in a hurry.
Min Yan frowned and looked at Qi Zhongya, Qi Zhongya pursed her lips and looked at the nobles, "But did anyone see this palace maid hit someone?" ”
Everyone shook their heads in unison, Qi Zhongya was like a peacock standing tall, looking at Minyan proudly and elegantly.
"County Lord, you see, so many people haven't seen this little palace maid hit someone, but someone has witnessed the county lord hitting Miss Li."
It means that Min-yeon deliberately shirks responsibility in order to get away with it.
Min Yan sneered, "What the hell is going on, I won't know after the trial." ”
Qi Zhongya shook her head slightly, and said disapprovingly, "Little palace maid, no matter how low her status is, it is also a human life, does the county lord not care so much?" ”
"The princess doesn't have to pretend to be merciful, the lord of this county only believes that she has seen it."
Saying that, Min Yan said with a straight face, "Queen Mother, Min Yan is by no means the one who talks about the river, at the time of the incident, although this little palace maid was hidden, but Min Yan really saw it clearly, she originally wanted to knock the Yu cousin into the water." ”
Queen Zhuang's face changed slightly, and she glanced at Qi Xiangxuan inadvertently, but seeing that his face was as usual, Queen Zhuang's eyes sank, and she slapped the table, "Someone." ”
Two elderly grandmothers came in from outside, "The slave is here." ”
Queen Zhuang said, "Take this girl down, interrogate it well, and make sure she recruits the people behind the scenes." ”
The two grandmothers responded in unison, "Yes." ”
The little palace maid only came in a hurry, "Niangniang spares her life, and the slave is wronged......"
Then, it was gagged and dragged out, and only a "woo" sound could be made.
The nobles were stunned by this thunderous method.
Before the little palace maid was dragged down, her eyes for help looked at Qi Xiangxi, Qi Xiangxuan's eyes were indifferent and unmoved, which made the little palace maid even more desperate.
Empress Zhuang had already expressed her attitude, but Qi Zhongya changed her words, "Although the county lord was unintentional, but in the end he knocked Miss Li into the water, did he plan to expose it like this?" ”
Min Yan's face was expressionless, only the coldness was hidden in her eyes, "What the princess said, Min Yan will definitely come to the door to make amends afterwards." ”
Unexpectedly, Minyan actually said such a thing as coming to the door to make amends, Qi Zhongya was stunned for a moment.
Qi Zhongxin finally found a chance to speak, "Why does the imperial sister keep holding on to Minyan, she is at fault, but it is true that she saves people, why don't you say what reward she needs to give for saving people?" ”
Qi Zhongya's expression was a little stiff.
Queen Zhuang said at the right time, "Okay, the merits and demerits are offset, and there is no need to come to the door to make amends." ”
The gentle smile on Qi Zhongya's face almost couldn't be hung up.
Empress Zhuang began to comfort the remaining noblewomen, and each of them gave them something to soothe their frightened hearts.
The imperial doctor came to report, the two girls who fell into the water woke up, and Queen Zhuang's heart really let go.
It took Li Caixia to fall into the water for so long and was rescued, he was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on, but fortunately, she was fine.
At this point, the flower-viewing banquet could not continue, so Queen Zhuang dismissed all the nobles, and the nobles went out of the palace with heavy hearts.
Halfway through, the fork in front of you is to the Shunfu Palace of the Empress Dowager.
Min Yan said, "Do you want the two cousins to go and say hello to the imperial grandmother." ”
The Empress Dowager De was born in the mansion, and the two sisters wanted to call their aunt and grandmother.
Yu Jingxin hesitated slightly, then shook her head.
Min-yeon expressed her understanding, and then sent the two out of the palace.
