Chapter 18: One Month
The emperor glanced at Zhao Shicheng with deep eyes, raised his hand to signal, and the eunuch and maid immediately retreated.
Xu Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Zhao Shicheng came in time, otherwise if the fifty boards were hit, she would be half-crippled if she didn't die.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave Miss Xu a Night Pearl, but how can you prove that the concubine's Night Pearl was not taken by Miss Xu?" Concubine Shu suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean by this?"
Xu Tingyu looked at Concubine Shu in disbelief, this is just nonsense!
Concubine Shu chuckled, still looking gentle, and turned her head to look at the emperor, her expression was innocent.
"The concubine just thinks that there should always be some difference between His Royal Highness the Prince's Night Pearl and the concubine's Night Pearl, and I want to hear how Miss Xu distinguishes it."
Separately? The difference between the pearls of the night? She hadn't even seen Concubine Shu's Night Pearl, so how could she know the difference between Concubine Shu's Night Pearl and Zhao Shicheng's Night Pearl!
Xu Tingyu's mind was dazed, Zhao Shicheng sneered and looked at Concubine Shu, "The pearl of the night is an offering, all of them are the same, what does Concubine Shu think is different?" ”
"The concubine doesn't mean to make things difficult, it's just that the night pearl was given to the concubine by the emperor, and the concubine cherishes it on weekdays, and now she doesn't want to give up any clues, after all, who knows if Miss Xu has two night pearls, but she just hid the other night pearl?"
It sounded reasonable, but when it fell in Xu Tingyu's ears, he just wanted to sneer, this concubine was planning to bite her to death.
"Xu Tingyu, do you have any evidence to prove it?"
The emperor asked Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu was silent, how could she prove this?
"Someone ...... coming"
"Father, slow down!"
The emperor followed the sound and looked at Zhao Shicheng, Zhao Shicheng squinted slightly, "Xu Tingyu has no way to prove that she did not steal the night pearl of the concubine, does the concubine have evidence to prove that Xu Tingyu is not only the night pearl given by her son, but secretly hid one?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is another quibble for Xu Tingyu!" Concubine Shu retorted.
Zhao Shicheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered coldly, "Is this prince quibbling?" Didn't Concubine Shu charge Xu Tingyu An like this? ”
"Hongu ......"
Concubine Shu wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the emperor.
"This matter is too strange, now the biggest suspicion is Xu Tingyu, I don't care if Xu Tingyu takes it or not, it doesn't matter if Xu Tingyu takes it or not, it doesn't matter if you hand over the Night Pearl, or find out the Night Pearl from the palace, I will give you a month, and after a month, if you can't hand over the Night Pearl, don't blame me for treating you for the crime of bullying the king!"
"The courtiers don't understand where the courtiers are bullying the king, and please ask the emperor to make it clear!" Xu Tingyu laughed angrily.
"Father! Erchen will take Xu Tingyu to atone for his sins! Zhao Shicheng saw Xu Tingyu's face change, and immediately forcibly pulled Xu Tingyu back to the East Palace.
Xu Tingyu refused to leave, Zhao Shicheng was impatient, and picked Xu Tingyu up and took him back to the East Palace.
"Put me down!"
"A capital crime of bullying is not enough? Do you have to anger your father, and let Concubine Shu take measures to treat your father for the crime of extermination? What if you were framed for this? Judging from the current evidence, you are indeed the person with the biggest suspicion, and your father's words sound like favoritism to the concubine, so why not give you a chance to wash away your grievances? ”
Hearing this, Xu Tingyu looked at Zhao Shicheng suspiciously, how could this guy suddenly become so brainy.
For Xu Tingyu's suspicious gaze, Zhao Shicheng was extremely disdainful, "This prince grew up in the palace when he was a child, and he hasn't seen any disturbing things?" ”
Xu Tingyu remembered this stubble.
"How? Do you appreciate me for bringing you back? Stopped you from angering your father? ”
Zhao Shicheng raised his eyebrows, very proud.
Hearing this, Xu Tingyu immediately rolled his eyes and retorted to Zhao Shicheng, "If you hadn't given me some night pearls because you were playing tricks on me, I would have been involved in this?" ”
Zhao Shicheng pouted, "If it weren't for the fact that you were because of this incident at the Night Pearl stall, you thought I would run to give you a head?" ”
This was said strangely, Xu Tingyu felt a little strange, but he didn't know what was wrong, he just snorted lightly, and he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Shicheng.
"That's how you react to your life-saver?" Zhao Shicheng asked strangely.
"You're embarrassed to say it's my savior!"
When he arrived at the East Palace, Zhao Shicheng let go, and after Xu listened to the rain and complained, he turned around to leave.
Zhao Shicheng grabbed Xu Tingyu's arm, dragged Xu Tingyu in front of him, squinted slightly, revealing a sense of danger, and then asked word by word, "Concubine Shu is very favored in the palace, are you sure that if your life is not guaranteed, you still want to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who likes to do nonsense when he has nothing to do and has won the emperor's sacred heart?" ”
Threat! This is a naked threat!
Xu Tingyu was angry, but he could only swallow his anger and slowly soften his tone, "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that what should the courtiers do to their life-saving benefactors?" ”
Seeing Xu Tingyu's aggrieved appearance, Zhao Shicheng pulled out an extremely bright smile, "En...... The requirements are not high, you just need to unconditionally agree to my three requests! ”
As long as you unconditionally agree to his three requests!? Still not too demanding?! Xu Tingyu scolded her mother in her heart, did she think she was the magic lamp Aladdin?
