Chapter 11 False accusations fail
How did he get here?
is still followed by Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning?
Shang Kelan frowned, this time the matter is not easy to say, she did ask Wen Chun to inquire about the news, but now there is nothing to be sure, and there is no evidence......
"What's going on here? Concubine Chen, I let you rest for an afternoon, why did something happen again? ”
"Your Majesty."
Shang Kelan knelt on the ground, only to feel that her scalp was a little numb, first the imperial study, and then the little palace maid behind the rockery, after she brought people back, she didn't even have time to ask before she came to Xiao Guiren, this series of things is really incredible......
"Alright, let's get even, which of you will tell me what's going on?"
At this time, the superior was replaced by Jin Yantang.
"Your Majesty, although the concubine doesn't know what is happening now, she knows what happened just now."
Concubine Hua hid the smile in the corner of her eyes and continued to speak: "Originally, His Majesty asked the three of us to go to Jiuqu Bridge, and when I looked at the lotus flowers over there, I found that this palace maid was taught a lot by Mama, and I had to say that Concubine Chen's sister treated her badly. Concubine Hua pointed to the little palace maid and grandmother kneeling under her body.
"If you talk too much, you should be taught."
Jin Yantang closed his eyes, and he didn't have to think about it to know how many things were added to it, and it would be good to have a little bit of it after washing it.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine Hua was blocked like this, so she could only respond obediently, but she was not in a hurry, and the next thing was enough for her to drink a pot!
"Your Majesty, slave maid...... The slave doesn't mean that the mother is not! ”
The palace maid suddenly spoke, and crawled to the middle on her knees step by step, her face somehow full of tears.
"It's not about Hongu, who is that?"
Shang Kelan rubbed her forehead, this little palace maid followed her all the way back, it is impossible for anyone to instigate her in the middle, unless it was discussed early in the morning, she had just entered the palace, and the people around her did not have time to clean up.
"Niangniang, these bruises on the slave's body are all done by Qing'er under Sister Gardenia's hand, she also said...... also said that what they are waiting for is to represent the meaning of the mother, and if they are wrong, they also have the face to help the mother to punish! ”
"What else?"
Shang Kelan looked at her quietly, looking at what else could come out of her mouth.
"And it's Sister Gardenia.,She also said that she was serving the mother.,Last time the slave maid made a mistake and was seen by Sister Gardenia.,So she started beating the slave maid......"
The little palace maid fell to the ground lowly, not daring to look up at her.
"What about you, let's talk about it too."
She pointed at Wen Chun, she was the person that Jin Yantang specially asked Gonggong Fu to choose, why did something go wrong?
"If you go back to your mother, the slave is ...... It was because he was inquiring at the door and was discovered by Xiao Guiren that he was brought in. ”
"Inquiry?"
Jin Yantang only opened his eyes at this time, the corners of his mouth were a little unnatural, in the past, Lan'er was naughty, and often secretly looked at him outside the door, just thinking that he didn't know, but he let her go before because he didn't think there was anything, but now he is a concubine, if this is true......
"Yes...... It was Concubine Chen who wanted to win over Xiao Guiren and take away the power in the hands of Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning, so she ...... He told the slaves and maidservants to keep an eye on their movements. ”
As soon as Wen Chun spoke, Xiao Guiren was a little nervous and pulled the handkerchief, but when he heard her say such words from his mouth, he was also relieved, leaning on his back, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked a smile.
Shang Kelan looked at her quietly, her eyes sank, she didn't know what she was thinking, and when she saw Jin Yantang looking at her in surprise, she realized what was going on.
"Concubine Chen, is what she said true? If so, then it is your fault to be harsh and not strict in discipline, and tell Wen Chun to inquire about the news...... There is also a loss of identity. ”
He wanted to ask about it, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible, his Lan'er was not the kind of ambitious woman, and some words were irretrievable once admitted.
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, what matters is whether the two of them are telling the truth without being threatened."
Shang Kelan heard the pause in his tone, such a cover is obvious, if she can't find evidence, then she must be punished, the front one can barely get through, but the back one is obviously not punished.
"What does Niangniang mean by this, the concubine is just a noble person with a low status, where does she have the courage to do such a thing?"
"It's not known if you have the guts, but you do catch it, don't you?"
Concubine Hua on the side covered her mouth with a handkerchief to hide her smile.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was silent or looking at her, and it was clear that she needed to say something.
Shang Kelan glanced at Concubine Hua, and suddenly stood up, the tulle clothes followed her layer upon layer, her slender fingers curled up slightly, and she walked to Wen Chun, who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly squatted down, her dress was not messy at all.
"Wen Chun, your hands are shaking, tell Hongu what you are afraid of, or are you injured?"
Wen Chun's body trembled slightly, and he didn't speak, but his cuffs moved up.
Shang Kelan saw her overly deliberate movement at a glance, and reached out to slowly pull up her sleeve, revealing a small arm that was as smooth as a lotus arm, and it was white.
She paused, stretched out her hand and grabbed her arm, and pinched it gently, Wen Chun looked no different on her face, but her arm was unconsciously tense.
"Your Majesty......"
Shang Kelan turned around and suddenly knelt down, "The concubine thinks that the mistreatment of subordinates has not happened, because everything is not instructed by the concubine, and you say, has this palace ever done anything to you?" ”
The little palace maid was asked suddenly, and subconsciously shook her head.
Concubine Hua stared at her with some hatred.
"Since there is none, it is obviously Yuan Ge who is in charge of you, and Gardenia is serving closely by the side of the palace, even if you are standing in the room and waiting, she will say little, the only time she scolds is because the tea you poured is too hot, and you can't even do such a basic etiquette, how did you get into the palace!"
The palace maid knelt on the ground, stunned by what she said, Shang Kelan straightened her skirt slightly and looked at Jin Yantang.
"Concubine Chen's words are reasonable, come on, go and ask Yuan Ge, she used to work by my side before, how could there be such a mistake?"
"But Your Majesty ........." Concubine Hua was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jin Yantang.
"And your people are secretly listening to this, how can you explain it?"
"Naturally, it can be explained, the concubine just said that Wen Chun was injured, and the concubine didn't know if anyone had done anything to her, so what she said before couldn't be taken seriously."
"Your Majesty has been wronged!"
Before he could say anything, Xiao Guiren immediately knelt down, his face full of grievances.
"Niangniang, the concubine just invited her in to take good care of her, and there are still unfinished pastries on the table, where will it be bad for her!"
"Bengong didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry?"
Jin Yantang raised his eyes for a moment, and said lightly: "Inspection, don't you know!" ”
