Chapter 352: Confrontation
The palace maid looked at Bai Jiujiu indifferently, "The slave didn't even see the dragon robe, how could she say that the dragon robe was presented to Your Majesty, Mrs. Xu, if you didn't do it, you didn't do it, so why deceive Your Majesty and Niangniang." ”
Bai Jiujiu was trembling with anger, and then a voice sounded quietly, "You lie!" ”
It was Xu Huaiqing who spoke, he had been observing the palace maid just now, and the palace maid looked away, not daring to look at him, "What the slave said is true, please Your Majesty and Niangniang Mingjian." ”
The Emperor sat in a wide chair and never spoke, but his face was unusually ugly. The crown prince and the queen glanced at each other and said coldly, "Lord Xu, it must have been the last time that my father misunderstood you, causing the two of you to hold a grudge, so he took this opportunity to take revenge, his heart is really hateful." ”
Hearing him say this, the emperor suddenly became angry, and glared at Xu Huaiqing and Bai Jiujiu viciously, "The day after tomorrow Fanbang will come, you have not completed the dragon robe within the specified time, and you are still so neglectful of my affairs, what dare you hand over to you in the future, come to someone, will ......"
Before he finished speaking, the eunuch outside screamed, "King Wei has arrived, and the prince of Baili has arrived!" ”
The crown prince raised his head suddenly, and resentment burst out of his eyes, this King of Wei was everywhere like a ghost.
In a daze, King Wei and Baili Su had already come in.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"Chen Baili Su participates in the emperor."
"Get up." The emperor raised his hand, and when he saw his son, who was most satisfied with him now, he was in a slightly better mood.
After King Wei stood up, he spoke eagerly, "Father, my son-in-law heard that Mrs. Xu took over the work of making dragon robes, but she was slow and delayed, and she has not done it yet?" ”
"That's right, I'm going to punish them."
King Wei's gaze swept over everyone present, and his gaze stayed on the prince for a moment longer, and then he said slowly, "Father, Fanbang will come in three days, this is a big deal, the whole country knows it, since Mrs. Xu knows the seriousness of the matter, why did she deliberately disobey the holy decree?" It can be seen that there must be some misunderstanding in this. ”
The crown prince couldn't help but snort lightly, "You don't talk nonsense here, what misunderstanding can there be, the witness is here, she didn't do it, she didn't do it, slack is slack, what, King Wei, do you have to disobey your father's will?" ”
King Wei only glanced at him lightly, "Human witnesses sometimes make false testimony. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Aunt Su is the old man next to your mother, how could she ruin her reputation because of this little thing?" The Emperor frowned.
King Wei didn't answer, just stared at the palace maid, staring at her until her scalp was numb, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
Seeing this scene, Baili Su arched his hand and smiled lightly, "Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear, this aunt, it seems that there is a ghost in her heart." ”
The queen squeezed her veil tightly, "Aunt Su, what the hell is going on, did you take the dragon robe, or did you not go to the Xu family at all?" ”
The palace maid knelt down and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the slave and maid are wronged, Mrs. Xu really didn't make a dragon robe, if the slave and maid lie, the sky will be thundered!" ”
Tsk, this is really ruthless, the queen looked at King Wei and Baili Su, and said with a smile, "Both of you heard it, Aunt Su is the person next to me, and she has been serving by my side since I entered the palace, and she can't lie, so please don't mislead Your Majesty." ”
Seeing that this road would not work, King Wei said again, "Your Majesty, the matter of the dragon robe is full of doubts, and you can't make a conclusion about it, since this is the case, why not set a time limit and let Mrs. Xu make a dragon robe to atone for her sins?" ”
This matter can be big or small, the emperor thought about it, and felt that it was okay, so he warned Bai Jiujiu and Xu Huaiqing, and ordered Bai Jiujiu to make the dragon robe within three days, otherwise, the Xu family would be convicted.
This is already the best ending, Bai Jiujiu and Xu Huaiqing kowtow to thank him.
"Alright, all stand down, I'm tired." The Emperor waved them away.
Here, the queen returned to the dormitory, thinking about everything that happened just now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, so why did King Wei and Baili Su come at the same time? It is reasonable for King Wei to intercede with Xu Huaiqing, after all, no one in the government and the opposition, except for the emperor, does not know that Xu Huaiqing is the person of King Wei.
But what about Bailisu?
In fact, since last time, the queen has already seen that Baili Su seems to be helping Xu Huaiqing speak intentionally or unintentionally, and Xu Huaiqing has a close relationship with King Wei.
"You go to the East Palace, pass on my words, and let the prince be careful of Bailisu, there is something wrong with this person."
After the henchman left, the queen fell crooked on the beauty couch, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, all kinds of things recently were beyond her control, and she gradually had a feeling of powerlessness.
In the East Palace, after hearing the words brought by the queen's henchmen, the prince really raised his vigilance and secretly observed Baili Su.
And after Zhao Feihuai and Mengting failed again, they were all resentful, how could Bai Jiujiu be so good.
Meng Ting was even more angry and dropped several vases in a row, she couldn't help Bai Jiujiu before, because Xu Huaiqing protected her everywhere, but now she is the prince's concubine, and she can't even do anything about her, how can she bear this breath. The dark thoughts in my heart bubbled out one by one, and there was a hint of coldness in my eyes.
After Bai Jiujiu left the palace, she returned to the mansion, prepared the materials used, and devoted herself to the production of the dragon robe again, because with the experience of the last time, she did it quickly this time.
In fact, it is impossible to make a dragon robe in three days, and there must be no mistakes at all. But Bai Jiujiu is different, she is already skilled, and her speed is several times that of ordinary embroiderers. If it really doesn't work, you can also use a trick to fool the past.
She was actually very disappointed in the emperor's eyes, but no matter how unwilling she was, she still had to do the dragon robe, because the emperor left Xu Huaiqing in the palace, and she had to wait until she drove the dragon robe out, otherwise, Xu Huaiqing would be more than lucky.
Therefore, although she complained a lot in her heart, her subordinates did not dare to stop.
During this period, King Wei sent someone to deliver the news and asked Bai Jiujiu if he needed help, and he also knew that it was basically impossible to make a dragon robe in three days, even the most powerful embroidery girl couldn't do it.
Bai Jiujiu is just a human being, not a god.
I couldn't imagine that I killed King Wei, Bai Jiujiu was really not an ordinary person.
She rejected King Wei's kindness, plus the queen had an order, as long as she made the dragon robe, anyone who interfered would have to be offended, although King Wei was worried, but there was no way.
This is obviously finding fault, but the hateful Bai Jiujiu can only do it, and he doesn't dare to have any objections. I think she is also a big head of the sect, and she is worshiped by thousands of people in the spiritual world, but she has to be restrained everywhere in the mortal world.
