Chapter 304: Wishful Thinking
Yang Tian secretly received the look handed over by the concubine, and said, "Your Majesty! Imperial Concubine Niangniang! Wechen found a man and a woman on patrol when they were forgetting themselves and intimacy, and when they stopped-"
Where could Ning Wutai listen to such slander, so he intercepted and said: "What nonsense! β
Yang Yong was interrupted, and looked at the emperor with a really helpless look, Jing Wu knew that her brother's violent temper would only add fuel to the fire at this time, so she didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and preemptively said, "Wutai! The emperor is here, if you and Xi'er are innocent, they will make decisions for you! β
Ning Wutai looked at his sister, and then he was silent.
Yang Tian continued: "Weichen really didn't know that it was Lord Ning and Miss Xi'er, but the situation at that time was not only seen by Weichen, but I was afraid that if I didn't punish it, others wouldn't obey the public......"
Jiaqing was the most taboo about the palace rebellion, and the eyes that looked at Ning Wutai here were much colder, "What do you have to say?" β
Ning Wutai suddenly remembered that this situation only occurred after a palace maid poured him a glass of wine during the period, and immediately said with fierce emotions: "Your Majesty, framed!" Someone framed the minister, wine! There is a problem with wine! β
Concubine Yu on the side couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, Lord Ning, everyone here has drunk this wine, why do you have a problem?" β
Ning Wutai's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and Concubine Yu's words made his words have no place.
Jiaqing is still reluctant to do too much, after all, Ning Wutai is his right-hand man, and there are some things that he is still more suitable to do, but the current situation must be dealt with.
Jiaqing's hesitation, Su Qing took in the full view, and said: "Maybe Lord Ning drank too much wine, and it is normal to be immoral after drinking for a while." On weekdays, Lord Ning is also measured in his work, and his loyalty is visible, and he also asks the emperor to remember his merits and deal with them lightly. β
Jing Chang breathed a sigh of relief, this Su Qing is not a person who has fallen into a well.
Jiaqing seemed to be very interested in this reason, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
Concubine Yu was quite embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, if Lord Ning is immoral after drinking for a while, it is not a big deal, but if Lord Ning and the palace maid secretly communicate with each other and make a private agreement for life, the nature will be different, right?" β
Jiaqing noticed that there was something in Concubine Yan's words, so he asked, "Why did Concubine Yan say this?" β
Concubine Yan looked at Jing Lady apologetically, and continued: "The imperial concubine loves her brother and may not take it seriously, but the concubine always hears rumors that Lord Ning and the palace maid are not clear, so I am afraid that others in the palace will follow suit, so isn't there chaos in this palace?" β
At first glance, what Concubine Yu said was really for the sake of the overall situation.
"Concubine Niangniang might as well say it directly, if Ning Wutai really violates the rules of the palace, the first one in the palace will not be able to spare him!" Jing Wu cut the railway, and this move was also to show her position to the emperor.
It's just that she may not have seen Ning Wutai and Xi'er bowing their heads and looking weak.
Seeing that the imperial concubine spoke so neatly, the emperor also raised his voice, "Concubine Xu, do you have any evidence to prove that Ning Wutai and Xi'er have a personal relationship?" β
Concubine Yan raised her chin, looked at Ning Wutai and Xi'er with her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines just heard that there is any evidence, but the people who really understand the situation must be the people around them, whether it is true or false, you can know it when you ask." β
"Come on, call all the palace maids and eunuchs around Ning Wutai and Liu Jiaxi'er!" Jiaqing gave an order, and often came to push and shoved in one by one.
After a while, standing in a row, Ning Wutai looked at the past, there should be no one who assassinated him.
"Back to the emperor, the minions don't know!"
"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid are not very clear, and they have not seen it."
"Back to the emperor, slave - slave maid - I don't know."
"Your Majesty, minionsβminionsβ" It was a little eunuch who followed Ning Wutai who spoke, and his dodgy gaze caught in Jiaqing's eyes.
"What are you shivering about? Have you seen anything? Jiaqing spoke.
The little eunuch knelt down in panic, kowtowed to the ground, "Back to the emperor, the slave didn't see anything, but Lord Ning asked the slave to buy a hosta, I don't know what it's for, I really don't know anything else." β
"Hosta? What kind of hosta? Concubine Yan asked.
The little eunuch said in fear: "That's it, it's a begonia flower." β
At this time, Xi'er was sticking the begonia flower on her head, and Concubine Yan walked over with a look and twitched it from Xi'er's head.
"Hiss~~" Xi'er was hurt and took a breath of cold air.
At this time, Xi'er still didn't say a word, she loved Ning Wutai, she had already thought about these consequences, what about being punished, instead of living a life in chaos, she felt that it was worth it to win someone's heart vigorously.
At this time, Jing Wu realized what had happened.
Xi'er's silence and disregard for death are at home, breaking through Jing's defense line little by little.
"But this?" Feiran took the hosta to the little eunuch and questioned him.
Facing this hosta, the little eunuch really wanted to cry without tears, "Yes." β
"Your Majesty, isn't this obvious enough?" Concubine Yu said to Jiaqing, who had a black face.
Jiaqing knew what kind of existence his family was for Jing Wu, if he was punished easily, he was afraid that Jing Wu would feel uncomfortable for a long time, he turned his head to look at Jing Wu, only to see Jing Wu who was full of words in his throat, frowning and worried, this idea is even more difficult to do.
"One hosta can make a private decision for two people, it's a bit too far-fetched, Concubine Niangniang, you are the person in charge of the palace, you have to tell a piece of evidence for everything, right?" Su Qing was obviously a little dissatisfied with Concubine Yan's blatant provocation and said.
Concubine Su didn't expect to kill Su Qing halfway, and Concubine Su, who was already dissatisfied with Su Qing, raised her eyebrows, "Lord Su, is this questioning the palace?" β
Su Qing bowed, "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen just thinks that it is a little unreasonable to convict the two of them just because of the hosta." β
Concubine Su sneered, "Lord Su wants evidence, okay!" What do you think of this evidence? β
After speaking, he shouted outside the door: "Come in!" β
Everyone looked out the door.
I saw the plainly dressed Red Qiang walk in fearfully, and after seeing the emperor, she couldn't think of anything else, so she had to plop down and kneel: "Slave and maid Red Qiang see the emperor." β
"Your Majesty, this person is the palace maid who has been serving Ning Wutai, and she also lives with Xi'er, she should know." Concubine Yu looked at Red Qiang and said.
"Raise your head!" Jing couldn't let Concubine Yan lead her nose away, and said to Red Qiang.
Hongqiang was already terrified, raised her head and looked at a pair of Shang Jing's fierce colors, and her panicked legs were straight and weak.
"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, if you scare her like this, it will force her to death." Concubine Yan looked at Jing's face, and she just wanted to laugh in her heart.
Jing Wu was not to be outdone: "Concubine Niangniang is really fast, this just happened, you found a witness, this efficiency is really fast." β
Jiaqing didn't say anything good about anyone on either side, but just turned his finger to look at Hongqiang and said in a low voice: "You say." β
Where does Hongqiang dare to slack off, "The slave maid has never seen Lord Ning and Xi'er do anything inappropriate~"
β¦β¦
Jing Wu was quite surprised, but before she was a little happy, she heard another sentence: "The slave just saw Lord Ning's jade pendant without any opinion." β
"Jade pendant? What jade pendant? Jing asked.
Red Qiang muttered and said, "A jade pendant with Ning written on it and Xi written on the back......"
Jing Wu seems to remember the jade pendant, but wasn't it given by my brother and sister-in-law?
"That jade pendant-" Jing Wu was about to explain, Ning Wutai couldn't bear this torture anymore, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The minister likes Xi'er, this matter is wishful thinking on the part of the minister, and it has nothing to do with Xi'er girl. Ask the emperor to see clearly, and all the consequences will be borne by the ministers! β
