Chapter 70: Listen to the Corner
At this moment, the palace maid who blocked the road sat on the ground trembling, worried that the incident at the east window would happen, and her little life would be gone at any time.
Hurriedly crawled over with a rolling belt, holding on to the railing tightly.
"Sister! Sister save me! ”
"Panic what!"
The palace maid saw that she was crazy and pounced, dirty, even if she knew that there was a railing in front of her, she subconsciously took a step back, frowned and pulled out a silk handkerchief to cover her nose, and said disgustedly.
"I did everything according to Concubine Jia's instructions, and I didn't recruit anything, my sister must show Concubine Jia, the slave has always been loyal, please save me!"
"Alright, your faithful mother knows it."
The people who looked inside were obviously relieved to hear themselves say this, and sneered.
"So I took your family to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to settle down."
When the palace maid who blocked the road heard this, her eyes were dark, her mind was swollen, could she not know what this meant, so she couldn't help begging for mercy, and bluntly said that she was willing to do anything for Concubine Jia, and only begged Concubine Jia to let her family go.
That's what I'm waiting for.
"Someone will come to interrogate later, and you insist that you don't know anything, and you have never intercepted the midwife, and someone will send you out of the palace to reunite with your family after the fact, otherwise...... Do you understand? ”
"Understood, slave maid understood!"
The palace maid who blocked the way nodded again and again, knowing that she would inevitably be punished during the arraignment, but she could save her and her family's lives in the end, and the result was already excellent.
"Mother, everything is done."
Concubine Jia was worried in the palace, for fear that one would be too late, the two had been arraigned, confessed truthfully, and she was finished, and she didn't even want to look at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table in front of her.
Hearing the maid's reply, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Heh, this time I want to see how this little slut protects himself." ”
After that, he lifted the silver chopstick, sandwiched a piece of crispy rolls three times, and asked the maid to serve half a bowl of red jade pearl soup, only to feel that this meal was really appetizing.
In the past few days, Yuqing has always been unable to sleep steadily, and she still can't get rid of the fact that Concubine Zhen died, and her beautiful and kind face and gentle and caring voice always appear in Yuqing's mind.
In addition, taking care of the little prince during the day, although he was still in infancy, he could vaguely see the shadow of Concubine Zhen between his eyebrows and eyes, and he was even more depressed.
Even the emperor often visited the little prince, and found that Yu Qing had lost his former cheerfulness and liveliness, and his face was sad, and he paid more attention to the progress of the case.
There was a cracking sound in the imperial study, and the frightened guards at the door all shrank their necks, and stood guard even more conscientiously, not daring to relax a little, lest they attract the emperor's anger.
"What?! Tell me again! The emperor roared angrily.
Xue Gui looked at the broken inkstone on the side of the pillar and sighed, this is a good Yunzhou inkstone, and it can produce such two pieces in a year, and the emperor has been reluctant to use it.
Or because some time ago, when Qing Guigui was there, the emperor specially ordered him to come out of the library, and then he used it on the case every day, and now he fell like this.
Fu Ankang didn't know that there was such a thing in the middle, but he just repeated what he just said truthfully.
"The midwife who delivered the baby for Concubine Zhen flatly denied that someone had intercepted her halfway, and she ......"
Fu Ankang frowned, and there was anger in his words that he couldn't suppress.
The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't think it would be a good thing to say later.
"I also insisted that Yu Qing used her family as a threat, deliberately created dystocia, and went to the mother and kept the child."
Because of the matter, Fu Ankang personally went to the prison to supervise the arraignment, and the whole process was in his eyes, and the old woman blindly bit it, and even the criminal law in the prison did not let her go.
framed an unrelated person with his life, if it was someone else, he might believe it, but this is Yuqing, the two grew up together, and no one knows better than him what their character is.
is also more troublesome in this way, there is no breakthrough to prove that she is innocent, Fu Ankang is now in turmoil.
"Ridiculous! Bring the midwife to the temple, and I will interrogate it myself. ”
The emperor didn't believe that Yu Qing would do such a thing, and he was able to sacrifice his life to save Concubine Zhen, who he didn't know, and there were few people in the palace with a good heart.
After getting along during this time, the emperor also found the shining point in Yu Qing's character, he was not pretentious when he was rewarded, and he was not willing to fall when he was punished, how could such a strong and self-reliant person be so vicious and vicious.
"After the midwife explained everything, she hit her head against the pillar, and she lost her breath on the spot."
At that time, Fu Ankang found that the midwife was wrong, and flew forward, but he didn't have time to stop it, and watched everything happen in front of him.
The midwife is not good for delivery, no matter what, she is going to die, but she is so decisive in death, and she does not give him the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the backlash.
"Yes, that's good!" slapped it with one palm, and the whole case trembled.
"The emperor is angry, and the dragon body is important." Xue Gui hurriedly appeased on the side.
The emperor was so angry, how could he hear so much, he was speechless for a while, and the needles in the imperial study could be heard, and he suddenly seemed to think of something.
"What about the palace maid, what do you say?"
Fu Ankang clenched his fists and shook his head: "I don't admit it, I just don't know anything, and I haven't stopped the midwife halfway." ”
The palace maid had a sad expression when she told it, as if she had really been wronged, and she kept saying that she didn't know why Yu Qing wanted to frame her as a little palace maid.
The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and it can be said that there is no way to verify that things have progressed to such a point.
"I know, you should step back first."
"Your Majesty, this matter can never be done by Yu Qing, the two of them are framed and bitten, and they must be instructed by someone behind them, please let the emperor know it!"
Fu Ankang doesn't know what the emperor thinks in his heart, if he really listens to the slander and disposes of Yu Qing, what will be good.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, he waved his hand, and Xue Gui immediately walked to the hall.
"Fuku-sama, please."
Fu Ankang looked up at the man behind the imperial case, and finally didn't say anything, this is the person he once swore allegiance to, but if something happened to Yuqing, he would risk death to rescue her.
But just as Fu Ankang was about to step out of the temple gate, a low voice came from behind him.
"Lord Fu, Qing Guiren is now my woman, and your title for her also needs to be changed, and I hope Aiqing will remember it."
Fu Ankang turned around and looked at a pair of inky eyes, with the scrutiny of a king, and the meaning of a beak that could not be ignored.
Thinking of Yu Qing who had just blurted out by himself, his fists clenched and slowly released.
After a while, Fu Ankang spoke: "Since you are the emperor's woman, I hope you can protect her thoroughly, minister, retire!" ”
He bowed down and retreated.
Xue Gui heard this as if he was struck by lightning, how could this Lord Fu dare to contradict the emperor like this, and there was a sense of threat, it seemed that if the emperor couldn't protect the noble people, Lord Fu would ......
No, no, it must be my own imagination, such a big rebellion and violation of the rules of the monarch and the minister, it must not have been done by the Fu people who fought on the battlefield and were loyal to the monarch and patriotic.
Throwing off the crazy conjecture in his mind, Xue Gui walked to the emperor's side and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner now, ...... you look?"
Xue Gui wanted to ask the emperor where he was going to put the dinner, but seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time, he could only stand aside and wait for orders.
The emperor seemed to look down at the folds, but in fact, his head was full of more than sunshine, and he couldn't read a word.
"Go see the little prince." As he spoke, he got up and strode out.
Xue Gui finally got the order, and hurriedly stepped forward and followed behind the emperor, he didn't know where in his heart, this was to see the little prince, it was obvious that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
The girl at the door saw that the emperor was coming, and she was in a hurry to pass the word, but she was pressed down by a gesture from the emperor, and immediately stood silently by the door, not daring to move a little.
The closer he got to the door, the slower the emperor's pace became, and finally stopped at the bottom of the porch, looking at the silhouette of a woman reflected in front of the window, holding a baby in his arms, and whispering something.
I heard it carefully, it was the voice of the sun.
"You little bean ding, you don't worry at all, although you look like your mother, but how can this character go against the grain, and you are very naughty and mischievous."
"Your mother is a gentle person, kind and beautiful, don't be like your father, domineering and arrogant."
In the house, Yu Qing hugged the little prince, and couldn't help but point his nose with his hand, he was still a doll in his arms, and he learned to toss people.
When I came back at noon, I heard people complain to her, the little prince was so hungry that he cried and didn't eat his mother's milk, everyone was in a hurry, if the emperor knew, their heads would not be enough.
I couldn't make a fuss, and finally I looked forward to Yu Qing coming back and saying a call, and when Yu Qing saw it, her voice was hoarse.
After thinking about it, I went to the imperial dining room and asked Xiao Mingzi for some fresh goat milk, and when I came back, I cooked it, it was cool and warm, and I tried to feed it to the little prince, but I didn't expect it to work.
"Fortunately, the noble man is smart, and the little prince is willing to eat goat's milk, otherwise it will be troublesome for the emperor to blame."
Since Yu Qing was named a nobleman, he transferred Xiyue to serve by his side, and it was Xiyue who spoke at this time.
Goat milk is not as easy to drink as cow's milk, and it is rich enough in nutrition, no matter how good it is for children to drink, it is only a try to pass the sun, and the most important thing is that the little prince is willing to drink.
"Who is saying bad things about me behind my back, don't you want your head?" As he spoke, the emperor lifted his feet and entered the house.
This cold sound frightened Xiyue, and she caught a glimpse of a bright yellow out of the corner of her eyes, but she didn't dare to raise her head, and knelt down with a plop.
The emperor wasn't talking about her, so he had to quickly ask for guilt.
"The emperor forgives the sin, slave and maid...... The slave maid ...... "I was stumbling for a long time, but I couldn't say a complete sentence."
Xiyue thought, this time it's really over, talking about the emperor behind her back, but it's a big crime to kill her head, I just hope that the emperor only blames herself, don't implicate the good of the young lady, thinking of this, she resolutely raised her head.
"Your Majesty, just now the slave and maid did not choose what to say, and if they wanted to kill, they would be cut off and left to the emperor's disposal, but this matter is not about the Qing nobles, please don't implicate the Qing nobles."
I just ask the emperor not to blame Miss, so that even if she dies, she will have the face to see the old lady.
"It's a girl who is loyal to the Lord, and when she is dying, she dares to talk to me about conditions."
When the emperor saw Xiyue's heroic and righteous expression, he couldn't help laughing, and he had to hold back, it was really hard.
When Xiyue heard this, she knelt in place and trembled, only to feel that a catastrophe was coming.
A sneering laugh caught the eyes of both at the same time.
Yu Qing couldn't help laughing, seeing that the two of them looked at herself, she coughed pretending to be serious, and raised her eyebrows to look at the emperor.
