Chapter 345: Lecture in the Palace
Fu Rongxue was taken straight to the main hall, the emperor and queen sat in the first place, and she couldn't see the expressions on their faces when she raised her eyes.
When the emperor saw her cooperate, he didn't embarrass her, and gave her a seat after saluting, and the queen had a lot of complaints, but because it was the emperor's personal will, she didn't dare to disobey it.
"The princess has been in the limelight recently, and even the words about you have been circulating in the streets, I am fortunate to listen to one, and it is good, I am really glad to have all the forces to help you."
Fu Rongxue's forehead was sweating, sure enough, the superior person always had more eyes than others, and the emperor's words were praised on the surface, but in fact it implied that she was secretly cultivating power.
The more urgent the situation, the more sober her head became, and she protected the peach who was about to cry behind her, Shi Shiran said: "The emperor praises falsely, those people are just the people who were saved by the concubine before, they know how to repay their kindness, they don't dislike me, they just beg for food by their side."
"Oh? It's different from what I heard, the princess didn't deceive me? ”
The breeze blew in from the door, Fu Rongxue shivered, and subconsciously wanted to lean next to seek warmth, but suddenly thought that Yehui was not there, and she was being questioned by the emperor.
She rubbed her fingertips and said: "The emperor clearly checked, the people of the tea faction are just helping children, and the eldest is only sixteen years old, with a pure heart, heaven and earth can be learned, and they are still the emperor's people, and the emperor can do whatever he wants them."
The righteousness of the words was awe-inspiring, the hall was solemn, the emperor suddenly laughed for a long time, Fu Rongxue lowered her head when she heard the sound, and took the opportunity to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.
Sure enough, when dealing with people, especially the emperor, a casual sentence may not protect your head.
The emperor's reaction meant that he accepted her explanation, which may have been temporary, but it was sufficient.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know what to say or not."
Then don't talk about it! Fu Rongxue had just picked up her life, and when she heard Queen Wen's words, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, but after all, she was a queen, even if she was dissatisfied, she could only hold back.
Looking up at the queen, he saw that her eyes were on Peaches.
"Queen, please speak." The emperor is not interested, he is thinking about how to compensate King Lian and his wife, after all, the responsibility for this kind of misunderstanding is on him, and if it is not handled properly and let King Lian centrifuge, it will not be worth it.
"Recently, the palace procured a batch of cloth for the palace people to make autumn clothes, but the people who wore the clothes all appeared more or less red rashes, which were diagnosed by the imperial doctor, which was a manifestation of poisoning." Her eyes flickered, and she turned to peaches.
"And these cloths happen to be the princess's maids, in the shop opened by Peach."
Peach knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave doesn't have it, the slave and the maid ensure that the cloth in the store is all good fabric, and the cloth that was only handed over last night, how could there be a problem so quickly."
Her head was flushed, and she pulled the corner of Fu Rongxue's clothes for help: "The princess save me, the slave really doesn't dare."
The emperor frowned, waved his hand impatiently and asked Mama to step forward and block her mouth, and pointed at Fu Rongxue thoughtfully: "The princess has something to say, I have also heard this."
In the last sentence, he was lying, he didn't care if anyone in the palace was really poisoned, he just wanted to see her reaction.
Fu Rongxue's face was like frost, it turned out that she had left a hand when she called her over, and she couldn't buckle the hat of forming a party for personal gain, so she would be poisoned in the palace, anyway, as long as it was something that could make her die, Queen Wen was willing to try.
She stepped forward without impatience and arched her hand: "Your Majesty, although my maid does some small business, she really doesn't have the courage to make up for good, let alone poison."
"Princess, who knows people and faces, but doesn't know hearts, who knows that you, a slave, also learn to do some unsightly things behind your master's back." This time it was Empress Wen who spoke.
She pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and the handkerchief covered the smug smile at the corner of her mouth, how did Fu Rongxue get out of this palace this time.
"The queen said that the palace people had this symptom a few days ago, but the cloth was only delivered last night, and the time is not right." Fu Rongxue shrugged, she saw it with her own eyes last night.
When Empress Wen saw the move, she did not panic in the face of the emperor's suspicious gaze, and took out a contract from her arms and presented it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the delivery order drawn by Momoko herself, but it wasn't handed over last night."
The playful tail note almost made Fu Rongxue spit out on the spot, she pursed her lips, begged the emperor to show her too, called the soulless peach, and repeatedly confirmed that this was indeed signed by her.
"If you think about it, did you really sign it?"
"Signed, signed, but he said that according to the private delivery time, this is just to settle all the money."
Fu Rongxue was powerless to support her forehead, and she was sure that the peach had fallen into Queen Wen's word game, and it was too late to deny it.
"The emperor's concubine is guaranteed by her personality, Peaches will never be able to do such a thing, there are still leftover fabrics in her shop, and the emperor can send someone to check."
She gritted her teeth and said, now she can only play a game, she is gambling, and the gambling emperor doesn't want to care.
"I don't have that kung fu, but the country has national laws, since Peaches can't prove that she is not a murderer, then according to the regulations, she must go to prison, as for the princess, I will give you an explanation later."
"Your Majesty, I request that this matter be investigated and that Peaches be cleared." Fu Rongxue interrupted his words with righteous words, and the silence in the hall was terrifying.
Empress Wen couldn't help but be proud, it was really stupid to offend the emperor for a slave.
Peaches raised her teary eyes in disbelief and kowtowed to her heavily: "The princess is very kind, and the slave is unforgettable."
Now even if she is allowed to go to prison immediately, she is willing, with the princess here, there will definitely be no accident.
"The princess has a noble status, so don't meddle in such trivial matters." Empress Wen said softly, resolutely to exclude her from this matter, her purpose was not just to give her a peach, but to give her a horse.
"Isn't the Queen arguing with me about this little matter now?" Fu Rongxue said sarcastically, with one hand behind her back, she could faintly see Ye Huiming's momentum.
"Don't make any noise, since the princess is interested, let her be treated, Peaches is temporarily in prison, and she is not allowed to pass on news to the outside world."
"Thank you for your kindness."
The emperor waved her hand to get her up, and when he heard the big eunuch say that King Lian was on his way, he suddenly had a headache and just wanted to solve the matter quickly.
"Don't worry, I still have one condition, the princess must live in the palace during the investigation, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble, okay?"
He can also be regarded as pushing the boat to make amends to Ye Huiming, and secondly, with Fu Rongxue in the palace, presumably King Lian will not do anything out of the ordinary.
"Yes." Fu Rongxue agreed without thinking, and when she saw Queen Wen's distorted face out of the corner of her eye, she was in a much better mood in an instant.
"I will wronged you for a while, and I will definitely find out the truth." She bent down to help Peaches up and whispered in her ear, as for how to explain that she lived in the palace, Fu Rongxue didn't think about it at all.
