Which of you will tell me what this is all about? The emperor's voice was calm and stern, which made people feel not angry and arrogant.

Originally, the young concubine disappeared from the jade pendant, so he ordered someone to find it, and now that the banquet was almost eaten, he thought about going to this garden to walk around, and these ministers all followed.

It's just that I didn't expect that I hadn't taken a few steps before I encountered a dispute between the young ladies, and seeing that these women were dressed very luxuriously, they should be the children of his ministers, and they were all uneasy in the palace, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

When a eunuch moved over, he sat down with the queen, and the concubine looked at him pitifully, so he sighed and beckoned her to pull her into his left side.

The queen's face became bad for a moment, but she still pulled a stiff smile generously, so as not to lose her manners.

"Back to the emperor, here's the thing." As soon as Zhao Xinlan heard the emperor's words, she hurriedly fought in front to speak, "The little girl is the daughter of the Zhao family, the head of the household, and when I was at the table just now, I heard that something was missing in the room of the young concubine, so the little girl thought about coming out to help find out if it was where it was, but I didn't expect to see this eldest lady of the Xie family secretly playing with something."

Zhao Xinlan paused when she said this, she glanced at Mama, and Mama immediately presented the jade pendant in her hand.

"White jade, that's the white jade of this palace! Your Majesty, that's the white jade you gave to the palace......" As soon as Nian Guifei saw the jade pendant in her mother's hand, her eyes lit up as if she had seen light.

She stood up in surprise, and then quickly stepped forward to take the jade pendant in Mama's hand, and the baby was stuck in her arms, and her eyes looked at the emperor with affection.

The emperor also stood up, walked up to her and looked at her, then pointed at Zhao Xinlan with an angry face and asked, "Who did you just say was playing with Concubine Ai's beloved things?" ”

Xie Chuyao's heart sank, she was afraid that she would be at a loss today, she raised her eyes and glanced at General Xie, who was also frowning with a look of embarrassment and disbelief.

"It's her, Xie Chuyao, the daughter of General Xie's family, she was seen by us and denied it, refusing to admit that she stole the concubine's jade pendant, and the little girl would only get entangled with her in a hurry." Zhao Xinlan pointed at Xie Chuyao with an angry face.

Xie Chuyao hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor, and said with a straight face: "Ask the emperor to be clear, the little girl did not steal the jade pendant of the concubine!" ”

"You still want to deny all the stolen goods, Miss Xie, the things of the concubine are also delusional that you can do, you are really daring!!" Zhao Xinlan looked at her with a distressed look.

Xie Chuyao gritted her teeth and glared at her and shouted: "Zhao Xinlan, you woman don't play here, this jade pendant is obviously planted by you on me, now it's good, reverse black and white, Miss Zhao is really a good means." ”

"Enough, General Xie, is this your daughter?" The emperor helped Nian Guifei to sit back on the soft collapse, and asked Xie Nanchuan with an angry face.

Xie Nanchuan hurriedly came to Xie Chuyao's side from the crowd, and then bowed to the emperor before replying: "Back to the emperor, it's the little girl!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently shook her hand and showed her a reassuring smile before saying, "Your Majesty, since Yao'er said that the jade pendant was not stolen by her, it was not stolen by her, and this daughter is the most sincere, and she will never deny it if she did it, and besides, Yao'er will not make this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, I don't know if Miss Zhao saw the general's daughter steal the jade pendant?" ”

Zhao Xinlan's face stiffened when he asked, and then Wei Wei was speechless.

"Oh, General Xie, this jade pendant was obviously found from your daughter, you still don't admit it, what kind of honest child, no matter how honest you are, you will always be moved when you see beautiful things." Hube Shangshu also stood up, he came to Zhao Xinlan's side, his eyes swept her, and she immediately froze in fright.

Daddy, this is to blame her for a lot of things.

Xie Nanchuan glanced at this Zhao Pan with an unfathomable face, this person has always been at odds with him, and often has a lot of quarrels with him because of the funds in the army, and now he must have seized the opportunity to put himself to death.

"Lord Zhao, this General Xie's concubine doesn't look like that kind of greedy child, it's still hard to make a conclusion about this matter, it's better to investigate it thoroughly!" The empress, who was sitting on the right side of the emperor, finally spoke, and it was not difficult to hear from her words that she was a little biased towards Xie Nanchuan.

The Emperor glanced sideways at her, then fell silent.

"Sister Queen really doesn't have a backache when she sits and talks, this is not what she stole from her sister's room, she must be speaking lightly, but the concubine is angry and can't come out, this thief stole it from the emperor on the concubine's birthday, and this jade concubine likes it the most." As she spoke, Concubine Nian took a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, looking pitiful.

When she shed tears, the emperor's heart softened, and he took her into his arms and gently coaxed: "Don't worry, concubine, I will never spare this jade stealer!" ”

After speaking, the emperor's eyes stared fiercely at Xie Chuyao, who was kneeling on the ground.

"General Xie, this matter is a combination of stolen goods, don't say good things for your daughter anymore, what honest child, no matter how honest the child is, if he makes a mistake, he will be punished, fortunately, this jade pendant was found by Miss Zhao after being seen by Miss Zhao, what did you want? Is she going to take the jade pendant for herself? The emperor's eyes were as deep as the vast sea, and people did not dare to look directly at the majesty in them.

"You have been fighting abroad all the year round, and I don't blame you for teaching your daughter to have no way, but today's matter has to be concluded, there is a saying that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so if your daughter commits this crime today, I will punish her with fifty boards as a warning." The emperor said easily, but he didn't know that these fifty boards were equivalent to her life for a woman.

"Your Majesty, please ask the emperor for mercy, this matter must not be Yao'er's doing, please ask the emperor to spare the little girl this time for the sake of serving the country and being loyal!" Xie Nantian didn't believe that Xie Chuyao did this thing at all, but at the moment, there were hundreds of gravel gold, and this jade pendant was still the thing of the young concubine, so the emperor naturally wanted to punish him, and now he could only ask him to spare Yao'er for the sake of his own merits.

The emperor angrily pointed at Xie Nantian and scolded: "Okay, you Xie Nantian, you use your merits to threaten me?" After scolding, he said, "Your daughter is a thief, and you still have to intercede for her, you just hurt her like this, and a loving father is a failure!" ”

"Your Majesty, please don't blame Daddy, all these things are because of the little girl, the jade pendant is really not stolen by the little girl, if the emperor really wants to be punished, then punish it, but please don't blame the little girl's father anymore!" Xie Chuyao looked at the emperor with clear eyes, there was no fear in her eyes, only brightness and transparency.
