Chapter 60: Confrontation in the Palace

Early the next morning, news came from the palace, ordering Mrs. Ling Wei to enter the palace immediately after Wei Xiyue's early court.

Last night, the emperor rested at Concubine Lin's place, and woke up early in the morning, Concubine Lin was sorting out court clothes for the emperor, and when she saw the emperor instructing her inner servants like this, she was panicked, lest Wei Xiyue be quick to talk about the truth of the matter.

She smoothed the folded hand of her clothes, the emperor was keenly aware of this, knowing that this matter was related to Huo Zeyu, Concubine Lin couldn't help but worry.

Holding Concubine Lin's slender white hand, the emperor said softly: "It has nothing to do with Zeyu, I just went to ask about the situation in the Wei Mansion." ”

The emperor said this, but Concubine Lin didn't believe it, she pulled out her hand, and squeezed out a smile on her well-maintained face, "The gossip in this city is boiling, and it has all spread to the palace, and Ling Yu also confessed to his concubine when he entered the palace that day." ”

Speaking of Huo Lingyu, Concubine Lin's true feelings were revealed, and she continued: "Since this matter is Guan Lingyu, can the concubine also be present to watch?" With that, he lowered his head and tugged at his cuffs with both hands.

The emperor looked at Concubine Lin's black and supple hair, his heart was soft, and he freed Concubine Lin's slender hand from the entanglement of his sleeves, "Don't worry, I will inform you in the morning." ”

Concubine Lin smiled gently and sent the emperor out of the door. Seeing that the emperor and his party were gradually moving away, she smiled, frowned, and quickly sent someone to the Wei Mansion to warn Mrs. Wei to think of her words.

This morning, the Wei Mansion was really in a hurry, first there was news from the palace that Mrs. Wei and Wei Xiyue wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible, and then Concubine Lin asked Mrs. Wei to be cautious in her words and deeds.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly tidied up her clothes, and then called Wei Xiyue and waited with her for the emperor's summons.

When Wei Xiyue heard the news of entering the palace, she was not flustered, knowing that it was Huo Lingxiao's promoter behind this, she sat on the purple acid branch circle chair gracefully, looking at Old Madam Wei with a sad frown.

Seeing Wei Xiyue's relaxed expression, Mrs. Wei threw a warning glance, so that Wei Xiyue could not talk nonsense when she entered the palace.

Wei Xiyue ignored it, still leisurely playing with the tea cup on the side table.

Not long after, the palace sent someone to bring Mrs. Wei and Wei Xiyue into the palace.

When she came to the palace and saw that Concubine Lin was also there, Mrs. Wei's expression froze, and she turned her head and glared at Wei Xiyue.

The two stepped forward respectfully, bowed to the ground in a proper manner, and the sharp voice of the attendant came, causing the two to stand up without courtesy.

The maid guided the two to sit down, and the old lady nodded in thanks.

"Old Madam Wei, I respect your family's loyalty, and I have always tolerated the Wei Mansion, but I never expected that you would disappoint me so much." The Emperor spoke.

Seeing the emperor so distressed, coupled with Concubine Lin staring at her, and Mrs. Wei trembling, she was panicked, and couldn't help but slide down the chair and kneel down again.

Seeing that Old Madam Wei was so cowardly in front of the emperor, Wei Xiyue smiled mockingly, and the disdain in her heart was even worse, seeing Old Madam Wei kneeling, she snorted coldly, got up and knelt aside.

"The Emperor Mingjian." Wei Xiyue said loudly, "Since the Minnu returned to Beijing, the old lady in the mansion has targeted me everywhere. On that day at the palace banquet, the maiden was framed, the sword in her hand was replaced, and the queen mother was almost injured, and the old lady did not investigate in detail after returning home..."

When Concubine Lin saw Wei Xiyue speaking wildly, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly made her eyes look at her, and ordered Mrs. Wei to stop Wei Xiyue quickly.

The emperor beside Concubine Lin listened with relish, and seeing that Old Madam Wei seemed to have the intention of stopping, he waved his hand, "Old Madam Wei, if you have a clear conscience, let her continue." ”

Mrs. Wei was helpless, so she had to listen to Wei Xiyue tell her one by one.

With the support of the emperor, Wei Xiyue was even more unstoppable, "The same is to take the Tianci Academy, and at the same time, the concubine of the Wei Mansion, the old lady only invites a famous teacher for the second lady in the mansion." This matter is just mediocre, and the next thing is to fall below the eyes of the people. ”

When the emperor heard this, he became more and more interested in this matter, "You can tell me carefully, and I will make the decision for you." ”

Knowing that Concubine Lin was powerful and the emperor loved Concubine Lin very much, Wei Xiyue did not inform the emperor of what happened in Concubine Lin's palace, but only said that Mrs. Wei wanted to be at the banquet and moved her clothes to ruin her reputation.

Wei Xiyue spoke generously and passionately, but suddenly, she burst into tears again.

The emperor said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Xiyue, who was impassioned, pursed her lips, as if she was speechless, she raised her eyes and looked around, and then looked at the emperor, the emperor understood, waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat.

When the chamberlains and palace maids came out, the emperor spoke: "There is no one now, you can say it." ”

Wei Xiyue gritted her teeth and hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "What the people girl said involves the royal reputation, so you must be cautious. ”

Hearing that it was related to the imperial family, the emperor smiled, and his face gradually became solemn.

"On that day, Concubine Lin's mother came out of the palace to marry His Royal Highness, and the grandmother of the people's daughter was against the people's daughter, and she openly disobeyed the order and wanted... Let the daughters of the people be concubines. ”

Raising his eyes to see the emperor's face, Wei Xi Yuefu said again: "Grandmother's move is really disrespectful, and the people dare not report it!" ”

Wei Xiyue cleverly concealed Concubine Lin's druggedness, leaving only the matter of the four princes marrying, and Concubine Lin's face gradually eased when she heard this.

She echoed: "Your Majesty, the concubine never knew that this old lady Wei was so bold!" Then he got up and wanted to plead guilty.

Wei Xiyue saw that Concubine Lin also began to fan the flames on the side, and smiled in her heart, "I beg the emperor to see that the father of the people's daughter died on the battlefield, and make the decision for the people's daughter!" ”

Wei Kemu is the person who can be used by his side, and the emperor doesn't want to be too harsh on his mother, just a beating, he never thought that Wei Xiyue would kick in the air and make things fall into an uncontrollable situation.

The emperor was in a dilemma, on one side was the queen of the martyrs, and on the other side was the mother of the important ministers. Seeing that the emperor was undecided, Concubine Lin glanced at Mrs. Wei and said, "Chen." ”

Old Madam Wei was worried that the emperor would punish her, and she was hinted at by Concubine Lin, and hurriedly shifted the responsibility to the Chen family.

"Back to Your Majesty, Sister Yue'er said a lot, the old woman doesn't know it, the house is the old woman and daughter-in-law, and the old woman has not been in charge of the house for many years."

is as close as a mother and daughter on weekdays, and at the critical moment, she put her love aside, Wei Xiyue sneered in her heart.

When the emperor heard that someone could solve this dilemma, he repeatedly called for someone to bring Chen into the palace.

On the way, Chen's heart was uneasy and very cramped, seeing Chen's like this, the chamberlain frowned and spoke: "Your Majesty already knows what you have done, and you must not quibble after entering the palace." ”

When Chen heard this, he was even more flustered in his heart, could it be that the matter was exposed?

Entering the palace and seeing that the Chen family had arrived, the emperor coughed and said majestically: "Chen, Wei Xiyue has told everything about it, what justification do you have?" ”

Chen quietly raised her eyes, and saw that the old lady had an eye knife, and the hand behind her back was compared to a four, Chen knew everything, she was desperate, and she had no choice but to close her eyes and said: "There is nothing to say about the concubine, the concubine is guilty, and let His Majesty punish her." ”

Seeing that Chen confessed to his crimes, the emperor was overjoyed and quickly resolved the matter. Considering that Chen was Wei Kemu's wife, the emperor only raised it high and put it down gently, so that Chen could copy the scriptures behind closed doors and think about it, and he was not allowed to move freely without permission.

Seeing that the punishment was so light, Wei Xiyue was unwilling, but the emperor Chrysostom said that she didn't say anything more, so she had to give up.

Things subsided, and the group returned to the house.

On the carriage, the atmosphere was tense, and Chen looked at the old lady, his eyes widened angrily, but Wei Xiyue was not able to say much because of Wei Xiyue. The old lady was reported by Wei Xiyue in public, and she was angry, and Chen's anger added fuel to the fire.

Wei Xiyue watched the fire from the other side, and was very gloating in her heart. Today's outing, although there is no substantive punishment, still greatly frustrates the spirit of Mrs. Wei and the Chen family.

Back in the house, the three of them scattered. Forced by the emperor's order, Chen had to obediently return to the courtyard and began to copy the scriptures. The old lady sat on her chariot, thinking about today's events in her head, and she sighed, raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw a maid who was so frightened that she knelt in her courtyard, what was going on? The old lady was even more depressed in her heart.

"The old lady is not good! Young Master Wei is gone! ”

Hearing the maid's words, the old lady's eyes darkened, and the world shook and shook in front of her eyes, and she stumbled and fainted.

When Chen learned that the old lady had fainted, he hurried to the old lady's room in spite of the emperor's grounding order, and sat on the edge of the old lady's bed and wept.

After a quarter of an hour or so, the old lady woke up slowly. Before he opened his eyes, he heard a sobbing voice, knowing that it must be Chen who came to cry, and when he opened his eyes, it was not true.

The old lady was helpless in her heart, knowing that today's events were indeed against Chen, and he coughed in order to attract Chen's attention.

Chen was awakened by this cough and withdrew from his thoughts, "Mother, you are awake!" Then he called someone into the house.

When the old lady saw that Chen's first reaction was to care about her body, she couldn't help but sigh, she eased her tone and stopped Chen's gently.

"Today, the old body can't stand you, Wei Xiyue suddenly went crazy and began to bite indiscriminately, but the situation is urgent, and she should be called to the concubine, and the old body will compensate you first."

Hearing what the old lady said, she moved Concubine Lin out and picked it up by herself, but she couldn't help her, so she piled up all her hatred on Wei Xiyue.

"Wei, Xi, Yue." Chen gritted his teeth and paused word by word.

There was a knock on the door outside the house, and the maid informed Wei Xiyue that she wanted to see her. The old lady and the Chen family looked at each other, not knowing why Wei Xiyue came, and after a while, the old lady nodded and asked Wei Xiyue to come in.

"I heard that my grandmother fainted as soon as I returned home, thinking that I needed to recuperate, and Brother Tan didn't bother to take care of my grandmother, so I came to understand Brother Tan."

This... This Wei Qingtan has disappeared, but Wei Xiyue has come to ask for someone, how can this be good?

Wei Xiyue saw that the old lady was silent, and knew why. Wei Qingtan had been admitted to the mansion by Huo Lingxiao, and she crossed her arms to see how Old Madam Wei responded.
