Chapter 409: Changing Face
She frowned slightly, and said with teary eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know about this matter, the concubine was wronged, you can't listen to the words of this cheap maid, this is someone deliberately framed!" ”
When the emperor saw her "I see pity" appearance, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Meng Yelian didn't expect that it would be like this today, she naturally saw the emperor's face clearly, and now she didn't dare to speak again, so she decisively chose to protect herself.
But at the same time, she was jealous of Jiang Yingli in her heart, thinking that there were so many people who excused and justified her, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
The emperor stretched out his hand to break the concubine, and then patted the hem of his clothes impatiently, and he looked at the embroidery girl coldly: "You, raise your head, can you be responsible for what you say?" You must know that if you dare to lie to me, you have committed the crime of deceiving the king, and you will destroy the nine tribes. ”
When the embroidered girl heard this, her face turned pale, but she became more determined: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't lie!" The dress was indeed embroidered by the slave and maid herself, and the slave and maid were clear about which patterns and patterns were embroidered on it, and what threads were used, which buttons, the slave and maid also knew that they did not dare to lie, and the slave and maid dared to swear to the sky, if the slave and the maid lied, they would be punished by God, and the sky would be thundered! ”
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect this slave to dare to make such a poisonous oath, the emperor heard this, his eyes sank, the concubine had already been frightened by the poisonous oath of this embroidered girl.
She subconsciously looked at the emperor, just facing the other party's gloomy face, and her voice trembled and called: "Your Majesty, the concubine ......"
"Bang", the emperor didn't wait for her to finish, and slapped her hard, the concubine was stunned for a moment, fell to the ground, and after a while, she covered her face and looked at the emperor aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine was really wronged." ”
The emperor looked at her coldly: "I asked you to assist in the six palaces with the queen, and that's how you repaid me?" ”
Jiang Yingli saw this sudden reversal, and was shocked, the emperor used to be very fond of this concubine, how could he change his face like turning a book? I was even more afraid of the emperor in my heart.
It is said that a companion is like a companion tiger, and now that she understands this meaning, she can't help but start shaking, and she is also afraid of the treachery in this deep palace, if she goes out of this door today, she is afraid that she will never dare to enter the palace again.
Because the emperor was suddenly angry, everyone knelt down and saluted: "The emperor is angry." ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's attitude towards the concubine has changed greatly, and he can't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and after the emperor was silent for a long time, he sighed and said: "Okay, since today's matter has been clarified, it is a misunderstanding, so the county lord will go back first." ”
The emperor suddenly put the topic on Jiang Yingliang, he wrinkled his brows and said, "I won't stop there, you go back and wait for news." ”
Jiang Yingli was relieved when she heard this, although she was still a little angry that the concubine had not been punished at present, but thinking of what the emperor had just said, she had a trace of expectation, if the emperor really wanted to punish the concubine, then she really had to thank the other party.
Jiang Yingli couldn't stay in the palace anymore, she followed Mrs. Hou to salute the emperor, and then followed Yunchuan out.
After leaving the palace, several people got into the carriage, and Jiang Yingli returned to his place, but when he saw Yunchuan sitting opposite, Jiang Yingli felt guilty and complicated.
If it weren't for Yun Chuan's rescue today, she probably wouldn't have been able to get out of this deep palace, thinking of this, she lowered her head and thanked Yun Chuan: "I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince today, if it weren't for His Royal Highness to come to the rescue, today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of this palace." ”
Mrs. Hou watched the two of them from the side and didn't speak, and at the same time, she felt that Jiang Yingli didn't need to thank Yun Chuan, it was originally what he should do, but he didn't know Yun Chuan's true identity.
But......
Forget it, Yun Chuan didn't let her tell Yingliang, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only sit there with her handkerchief twisted, staring at the "culprit" with a pair of eyes.
Yun Chuan noticed his aunt's complaining eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that his aunt had a grudge against him because of his identity, but this is also human nature, Yun Chuan understands, and at the same time, he is also very sad and can't confess in front of Jiang Yingliang.
Yun Chuan subconsciously wanted to pull Jiang Yingliang's hand, but as soon as his hand was raised, he realized how out of line his action was.
He hurriedly put his hand down, coughed lightly, looked at Jiang Yingli carefully, and found that the other party did not notice his movements, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said lightly: "It's nothing, you accompanied your aunt into the palace today, if something happens to you, your aunt will be unhappy, I should help you." ”
Hearing Yun Chuan's faint, slightly alienated tone, Jiang Yingli was in a complicated mood, it seemed that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince should know that he had asked Qiu Muyun to switch sides, and his mood was even more ashamed.
She looked up at the other party, and suddenly wanted to confess: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, in fact, ......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yingli paused, she glanced at Yun Chuan hesitantly, then gritted her silver teeth, and said with determination.
"Your Highness! In fact, out of selfishness before, I let Ding Shi go to the camp of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I don't know if you know, but ...... In short, I am very ashamed now, I just received your favor, if you have a grudge, even if you come to me alone, after all, I asked Ding Shi to change sides, and he was also forced by me......"
Jiang Yingliang's voice fell, and the carriage instantly quieted down, only the breathing sound of a few people remained, but Mrs. Hou was a little surprised, she didn't expect Jiang Yingliang to make such a decision, and for a while, her mood was also very complicated.
However, if you look at it from Jiang Yingliang's point of view, if you insist on choosing the camp between the DPRK and China, the four princes and the crown prince are all the people who should be chosen, and Yunchuan is too low-key, which really makes people see no hope.
Maybe it's because Yun Chuan is Ding Shi, so Mrs. Hou doesn't have any particularly uncomfortable emotions in it, mainly because Yun Chuan deceived Jiang Yingliang, so she felt that one deceived and the other was deceived, which could be regarded as canceling each other.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Hou closed her eyes and recuperated, she didn't plan to care about these two juniors.
Yun Chuan was also a little surprised when he heard Jiang Yingli confess, he didn't expect her to be so honest, but he didn't blame Jiang Yingli for this matter, after all, from the other party's point of view, it is indeed better to change camps.
Yun Chuan was silent for a moment and didn't speak, but Jiang Yingli became nervous, Yun Chuan saw her expression, and knew that if he couldn't get an answer, he might not be able to sleep well.
Then he sighed faintly: "I know, this is your choice, I can't keep people, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
