Chapter Eighty-Three: Breaking the Game

After the guards entered, Concubine Jia heard the cry of resistance coming from the cave, and she was excited at first, but she slowly felt that something was wrong, why was this sound so familiar, more like, more like......

"Xiuchun!"

The guards lifted the two of them from the hole and threw them on the ground, Concubine Jia raised her hand to cover her mouth and exclaimed, her pupils dilated in disbelief.

Most of the people present recognized that the palace maid with messy hair and disheveled clothes was Xiuchun beside Concubine Jia, and some concubines who did not agree with Concubine Jia or were bullied by her all held an attitude of watching the excitement and watched coldly from the sidelines.

After all, Concubine Jia has served the emperor for so many years, and he still has some impressions of the people around her, and when he heard Concubine Jia's exclamation, he was even more sure.

"You're from Concubine Jia's Palace?" The emperor asked, his face was not good.

Xiuchun was so frightened by the battle in front of her that she couldn't speak, but she just kept asking Concubine Jia for help.

Concubine Jia's brain was blank when she saw that it was Xiuchun who was taken out, what about that little slut in Yuqing, shouldn't she be lying here, how did she become Xiuchun?!

As soon as she came back to her senses, she saw Xiuchun's eyes asking for help, and even the emperor looked at her, her heart was in a mess, and she immediately kicked away Xiuchun's hand holding her embroidered shoes like a disgusted fly.

"When the emperor asked you, you said! Look at the main palace and do it. ”

"The slave maid is from Concubine Jia's palace." Xiuchun couldn't stop crying.

"What's going on, why are we all here?" A beautiful and pleasant female voice came from behind, from far and near.

Everyone turned around and saw that the noble man who had disappeared from the second half of the banquet appeared in front of them, and the little eunuch was next to him.

"Where did you go, I didn't say that I came out to enjoy the flowers, why didn't I see you." The emperor saw that it was more than sunny, and his serious affection eased.

Yu Qing didn't reply directly, but bent her knees unhurriedly, and first asked the emperor and the concubines above her to say goodbye, and then said slowly: "Back to the emperor, the concubines originally came out to enjoy the flowers, and when they met Xiao Mingzi on the way, they went to the pavilion not far away to talk for a while." ”

"Yes, the emperor, the slave is holding the little eunuch to serve food to the banquet, and I met the Qing nobles coming out to enjoy the flowers, and there happened to be some dishes to ask, the sun was scorching, and the slaves were afraid of the Qing nobles, so they took the Qing nobles to the pavilion in front."

Because of Concubine Zhen's case, the emperor knew about Xiao Mingzi, so the two of them said that they would discuss the dishes, and the emperor believed it.

"You're a man with a heart." The emperor praised Xiao Mingzi.

"Emperor Xie, serving the master is what a slave should do."

Xiao Mingzi was very happy, this is the first time, there are good things in the weather, and if you make up a nonsense, you can also be praised by the emperor.

In fact, after smashing Xiuchun and the stupid man, the two of them came out of the cave and walked to a hidden place to wait for the emperor and his party, estimating that the time would appear.

Since the appearance of Yu Qing, Concubine Jia and Xiuchun have stared at her viciously, but Concubine Jia has been afraid of the emperor and has restrained herself, and Xiuchun's face is completely unconcealed hatred.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Yu Qing looked at Xiuchun with a puzzled expression and said.

"It's you! It's you slut who hurt me! Xiuchun still had tears on his face, his hair was messy and he knelt on the ground, pointing at Yuqing with one hand and shouting.

"What do you mean?" The queen looked at Xiuchun with sharp eyes, it was really a good show today.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid were smashed and framed by someone, this person is a noble person!"

In fact, Xiuchun didn't see who stunned her at all, she was completely guessing, the guards had not brought anyone here, and Yu Qing was very likely to overhear her words outside the cave, so she came in and knocked her unconscious, making her look like this, so that the emperor could find out and punish Concubine Jia.

"Bold! Didn't you hear what the noble man said just now? The emperor asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, Xiuchun has served her concubines for many years, she has been diligent and careful, and her concubines don't believe that Xiuchun would do such a thing. I also hope that the emperor will investigate thoroughly, if it is really Xiuchun who does such a filthy thing, the concubine will never allow her, if not, wouldn't she have wronged her. ”

Concubine Jia originally wanted to abandon this thing that was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but she didn't expect that the peak turned around, and Xiuchun's words in a panic seemed to have a turnaround.

Just hoping that the thing was really done by Yuqing, the emperor would never tolerate such a vicious and short-handed woman by his side, completely forgetting that he was the mastermind of this whole thing.

"Your Majesty, she lied, Qing Gui and Ming were familiar with each other when they were young, they must be helping each other, deceiving the emperor, the emperor Mingjian!" Xiuchun saw Concubine Jia helping her speak, and she was more confident.

Xiao Mingzi didn't expect Xiuchun to dare to bite back, the protector was heartfelt, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said: "Your Majesty, what the slave just said is true, if you cheat, you are willing to die." ”

The emperor lowered his eyes, as if he was deep in thought.

Seeing this, the queen said that there was no reason not to insert a stick, and said: "Your Majesty, although this is the case at the moment, what Xiuchun said is not impossible, and the concubines think that it is better to check it out to calm people's hearts." ”

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at the queen.

The queen's heart trembled, and her tone changed slightly, "The concubine believes that the noble people will not do such a vicious thing, and my sister has always been knowledgeable, and she must understand that the Qing is self-purifying, and she will not refuse to verify it." ”

Yu Qing raised her eyes to look at the queen, her face was expressionless, she only glanced at it, turned her head and said with a smile: "Okay, the concubine is not afraid of what he hasn't done, the emperor only cares about tea." ”

The tone was lighthearted, as if the central figure of their discussion was not themselves.

"Check!" Seeing that Yu Qing looked indifferent, the emperor ordered.

The guards stepped forward, brushed away the hair of the two and examined them carefully, and turned back, "Back to the emperor, there are no traces of smashing on the heads of the two." ”

Xiuchun's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while, obviously he had a faint pain in the back of his head, how could there be no traces.

What Xiuchun didn't know was that Yu Qing and Xiao Mingzi did hit them with stones, but they didn't hit them heavily, and after tossing for a long time, the traces had long been gone.

The reason why she was in a coma for so long was because when she was put in a coma for the two of them, Yu Qing found that a paper bag had fallen from Xiuchun's body, and when she opened it, she saw that there was a pile of white powder inside, which must have been prepared for her, and she turned to Xiuchun and the stupid man.

And that bag of powder was prepared by Concubine Jia to Xiuchun before the banquet and stunned Yu Qing.

Concubine Jia was also a little flustered, and pretended to be calm and said, "The birthday banquet in this palace is so boring, the palace is all over the place, just the Qing nobles go out to enjoy the flowers alone, and the Qing nobles say that they discuss the dishes with Xiao Mingzi, but the two of you are familiar with each other, and you can't fully believe what you say, I don't know if there are other people who can testify." ”

"Concubine Jia's words are wrong, with Concubine Jia's dancing posture like a fairy, how can the concubine feel that the banquet is boring."

Yu Qing watched Concubine Jia's face change, knowing that she still resented being robbed of the limelight by her own sword dance, she didn't pay attention to it, and continued calmly: "Speaking of human witnesses, unfortunately, there are really ones, and there is more than one. ”

Xiao Mingzi understood what Yu Qing was talking about as soon as he heard it, "Back to the emperor, when the slave was talking to the Qing nobles, there were a few little eunuchs who had done something wrong on the side, and the Qing nobles kindly reminded them a few words, if Concubine Jia didn't believe it, she could call them over, and she would know as soon as she asked." ”

As soon as this remark came out, who else didn't believe it, and who was so stupid that they would really call for questioning, so clear, which is right and which is wrong, it goes without saying.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law." The stupid man woke up slowly, opened his eyes and went to Xiuchun's side, hugged Xiuchun, and kept calling his daughter-in-law in his mouth.

The emperor was furious, "Bold and cheap, doing filthy things in broad daylight, and daring to bite others, it's extremely hateful!" ”

Xiuchun has known that it is not good since the stupid man woke up and called her daughter-in-law, but now she is really speechless, Yu Qing proves her innocence, this fool calls her daughter-in-law, can she still say that the matter is caused by Concubine Jia?

Xiuchun subconsciously looked at Concubine Jia, only to see her looking at herself with a threat in her eyes, remembering her previous methods, if she said it, her family would die, and this matter could only be swallowed in her stomach with her teeth.

"Queen, you are in charge of the harem, you can deal with this matter, just one point, and punish it severely!"

"The emperor is angry and angry, why should he be angry about such a trivial matter." The queen saw that the emperor was really angry, and hurriedly comforted her.

A good birthday banquet came out of this file, but it was okay with her, she was happy to watch.

I thought that the person who was punished today would be a noble person, but now it has frustrated Concubine Jia's prestige, and the snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, why not.

"Today, the noble lady was wronged, so I really took her back first." The emperor took Yu Qing's hand, and regardless of everyone's reaction, he turned around and left.

The queen looked at the backs of the two walking together, her eyes were gloomy, and she quickly retracted her gaze, frowned and looked at the two kneeling on the ground, the fool kept holding Xiuchun, Xiuchun seemed to have lost her mind, and she didn't resist.

"The palace maid Xiuchun is filthy and messes with the palace, and she will be killed immediately!" The queen snapped.

After a pause, he added: "Concubine Jia, as a concubine, connived at the palace people to do such unbearable things, the discipline is not strict, and the virtue is lost, thinking that today is your birthday, the palace will not be severely punished, and you will be grounded for one month from now on, and you can reflect on yourself." ”

After speaking, the wrist was raised, and immediately a little eunuch sent his arm to support it carefully, the queen held the posture of the master of the harem, and left dignifiedly, and the other concubines also returned to the palace when they saw the good show.

The guards stepped forward to set up Xiuchun and the stupid man, Xiuchun seemed to react at this time, crying and pounced on Concubine Jia, "Concubine Jia's mother save me, Concubine Jia's save me, the slaves and maids are all for you!" ”

When Concubine Jia heard this, she hurriedly covered Xiuchun's mouth, looked left and right, fortunately, everyone had already left, so she let go of her hand and said viciously: "What nonsense, what does this palace have to do with it, if you do such a filthy thing, this palace will not be able to protect you." ”

Xiuchun also counted on herself to take care of the whole thing, Concubine Jia would at least save her life, watching Concubine Jia turn her face and not recognize people, eager to clear up the relationship, decided to break the net and call the queen back, after all, people have not gone far.

When Concubine Jia looked at Xiuchun, she knew that she was going to bite back, and she was not in a hurry at this time, and said in a quiet tone: "But thinking of your dedication to serving the palace for many years, your family and the palace must take good care of it." ”

The last few words are extremely articulate.
