064 A slap
That night, as Du Yao expected, Wu Zhen learned about what happened to Zheng Qi'er in Fengyi Palace. It turned out that Zheng Qi'er came out of Fengyi Hall and ran to Wu Zhen to complain, but Wu Zhen happened to be not in the palace at that time, and only returned to the palace in the evening.
Zheng Qi'er cried in the main hall and cried not like a person, and regardless of the image at this time, she complained in Wu Zhen's words.
"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know where to offend the queen's mother, she actually wants to ruin the concubine's appearance, Your Majesty, you must be the master of the concubine! Your Majesty, even our children are a little bit close...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty must be the master of your concubines! ”
At this time, Zheng Qi'er had already cried into tears, and Wu Zhen was very upset when she saw it. He didn't believe Zheng Qi'er's words, with his understanding of Du Yao, if Du Yao really wanted to ruin Zheng Qi'er's appearance, Zheng Qi'er must have done something.
"Concubine Ai, don't cry, you tell me that you are innocent in this matter."
Meeting Wu Zhen's eyes, Zheng Qi'er was inevitably a little nervous in her heart, but since she was ready to confront Du Yao, she was not afraid.
"Of course the concubine is innocent, how can the concubine get into trouble now that she is pregnant with a child?"
After getting Zheng Qi'er's answer, Wu Zhen decided to find out why, and he instructed Qin Xiao on the side.
"Qin Xiao, you go to Fengyi Hall to invite the queen over, and there is also Concubine Lin."
"Your Majesty, the queen's subordinates have already ordered someone to go there, and the rain has spread that the queen is not feeling well today, so she will rest first."
Knowing that Du Yao had stopped, Wu Zhen glanced at Zheng Qi'er in his arms, and he noticed the unwillingness in Zheng Qi'er's eyes. He helped Zheng Qi'er up from his arms, wiped her tears, and said softly:
"Okay, stop crying. Since the queen is asleep, I will talk to the queen tomorrow, and if the concubine is unwell, go back to sleep early. ”
Seeing that Wu Zhen deliberately forgot about this matter, how could Zheng Qi'er be willing, she dragged Wu Zhen's arm and didn't let go.
"The queen is sick and can't be disturbed, but Your Majesty can't help but give an explanation to the concubine, if the child in the concubine's womb has something that is long and short, who should be responsible at that time?"
Seeing that Zheng Qi'er insisted on entanglement, Wu Zhen reluctantly ordered Qin Xiao on the side.
"Go and bring the concubine."
"Yes."
Qin Xiao didn't dare to slack off after receiving orders, he could see that Wu Zhen didn't want to invite anyone over, but Zheng Qi'er's bitter entanglement was tireless.
Walking on the long street in the palace with Li Qinlin, Qin Xiao looked at her more than once, and seeing Qin Xiao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Qinlin couldn't stand it.
"If you have something to say to me, just say it, what's the matter?"
"Do you know why His Majesty summoned you today?"
"Zheng Qi'er is in the Great Hall now?"
"You know it all."
Qin Xiao originally wanted Li Qinlin to be prepared so that he could deal with it, he should have guessed that Li Qinlin would have expected it.
"It's not difficult to know about this matter, today I saw Du Yao's dispute with her with my own eyes, and I think Your Majesty will also find out to me."
"How much are you involved in this?"
"All involved."
"Why are you doing this, Du Yao doesn't deserve this."
Qin Xiao didn't expect Li Qinlin to get so close to Du Yao, he was very worried that Wu Zhen would hurt her because of this.
"This matter is Zheng Qi'er's fault, I helped Du Yao just because I also hate Zheng Qi'er, and finally had a chance to punish her, why should I let her go?"
Seeing that what Li Qinlin said was reasonable, Qin Xiao had less of his previous worries, as long as Li Qinlin was fine, he was relieved.
"In short, you have to deal with it carefully for a while, no matter what Your Majesty says, you must be patient, especially to Zheng Qi'er."
"This matter is Zheng Qi'er's fault, Your Majesty is so wise that I will not be wronged, you can rest assured."
For some reason, Qin Xiao felt uncomfortable when he heard Li Qinlin praising Wu Zhen in front of him, he knew that he had fallen into it and couldn't extricate himself.
Noticing the sad look on Qin Xiao's face, Li Qin sighed in his heart. A lot of things are not that she doesn't know, it's that she doesn't want to know, or pretends not to know.
Li Qinlin came to the main hall just in time to see Wu Zhen holding Zheng Qi'er, and Li Qinlin felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
"The concubine greets Your Majesty."
After giving a salute to Wu Zhen, Li Qinlin glanced at Zheng Qi'er in Wu Zhen's arms, and said with a smile:
"Concubine Zheng Guifei is really interested, it seems that the lesson given to you by the queen mother has not made you have the slightest remorse."
When Li Qinlin said this, he didn't care that Wu Zhen was still here, and when he heard Li Qinlin's words, Wu Zhen didn't understand a little.
"Lin Guifei, I heard that a good show was staged in Fengyi Hall today, I don't know what kind of role you played."
"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine is just a bystander, listening to something that shouldn't be heard, knowing something that I didn't know before, I think Your Majesty is interested in what the concubine is going to say when she comes down."
After listening to Li Qinlin's words, Wu Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and Zheng Qi'er, who was in her arms, saw that Li Qinlin intended to say that she had ruined Du Yao's appearance back then, and immediately said.
"Your Majesty, today is Li Qinlin, a slut, who bullied the concubines together with the queen, and Your Majesty wants to make decisions for the concubines and children!"
Zheng Qi'er's move was obviously caused by humility, and Wu Zhen could already feel that her lies were getting closer and closer.
"Why is Concubine Zheng so nervous, if the concubine is reasonable, what does it matter if the concubine says? Your Majesty has always been fair, and he will definitely give the concubine a satisfactory answer. ”
Li Qinlin said this, Zheng Qi'er couldn't help but become more and more nervous.
"Your Majesty......"
"Okay, love the concubine and let the concubine finish speaking, I will definitely give an explanation to the innocent people."
Noticing Wu Zhen's determined appearance, Zheng Qi'er felt a burst of regret in her heart. She originally expected Wu Zhen to warn Du Yao because of the child in her belly, but she didn't expect Wu Zhen to handle this matter so calmly, maybe there is nothing in this world that can make Wu Zhen nervous.
Seeing that Wu Zhen was bent on finding out the truth, Li Qinlin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, do you know why the queen mother has not heard from her after being hit by the arrow back then, and even the Oblique Rain Tower can't find out where she is? That's because someone took the queen away when she was unconscious. ”
Li Qinlin deliberately looked at Zheng Qi'er when she spoke, and Zheng Qi'er was obviously weak at this time and didn't dare to look up at Li Qinlin. Noticing this detail, Wu Zhen's face became more and more bad, and then let go of Zheng Qi'er and sat upright.
Noticing this scene, Li Qinlin continued.
"That man not only took the queen away, but also ruined the queen's appearance with a knife. Does Your Majesty think that person should be punished? ”
Li Qinlin turned around and asked Wu Zhen directly, Wu Zhen glanced at Zheng Qi'er and noticed that Zheng Qi'er looked flustered. Zheng Qi'er has been married into the mansion for many years, how could he not see that Zheng Qi'er did it?
"Concubine Zheng, I want an explanation."
Seeing Wu Zhen questioning Zheng Qi'er, Li Qinlin applauded in her heart, she just wanted to see Wu Zhen punish Zheng Qi'er with her own eyes.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Zheng Qier said in a hurry:
"The concubines and concubines did that back then, but the concubines ......"
Before Zheng Qi'er finished speaking, Wu Zhen gave her a slap, and the crisp slap echoed in the main hall, and all the palace attendants saw this scene.
Zheng Qi'er covered her face and looked at Wu Zhen in disbelief, she never thought that Wu Zhen would treat her like this, she thought that even if she did something wrong, Wu Zhen would forgive her in the face of the child.
"I thought you were a kind-hearted person, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
"Concubines, concubines, Your Majesty, concubines."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, Qin Xiao, send Concubine Zheng back to the dormitory, and you are not allowed to set foot in the main hall from today onwards."
"Yes."
After getting the order, Qin Xiao came to Zheng Qi'er and made a gesture of invitation, but he was happy for Li Qinlin in his heart.
"Please, Concubine Zheng."
Seeing that the matter was completely revealed, Zheng Qi'er couldn't say anything, but she was unwilling to do so.
After Zheng Qi'er left, Wu Zhen came to Li Qinlin, took Li Qinlin's hand and said:
"Thank you for helping me take care of the Queen."
"This is what a concubine should do."
Li Qinlin knew that Du Yao was very important to Wu Zhen, and the person Wu Zhen cared about was the person she wanted to protect desperately.
"Du Yao didn't see the flaw, right?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the queen has not seen the slightest flaw, and the queen has always thought that it is time for the concubine to fall out of favor now."
Li Qinlin's expression was very indifferent when she said this, as if all this was so insignificant to her. Looking at Li Qinlin's appearance, Wu Zhen felt very uncomfortable.
"Your sister ...... that day"
"Your Majesty doesn't need to say it, everything Your Majesty has done has your Majesty's reasoning."
The words that were originally going to be explained were interrupted by Li Qinlin, and Li Qinlin didn't want to listen to any explanation at this time. Li Qinhan has left, she doesn't want to pursue too much, and revenge will hurt others and hurt herself after all.
Looking at Li Qinlin's appearance, Wu Zhen suddenly didn't know what to say.
"I'll explain it to you when you want to hear it."
Wu Zhen knew that the current Li Qinlin was still immersed in the grief of losing his sister, and no matter what he said at this time, it would be useless.
"It's not too early, if Your Majesty doesn't have anything important, the concubine will go back."
"Not going to stay here tonight?"
"Nope."
Li Qin couldn't get past the level in her heart, she didn't want to have Wu Zhen guiltily, that would be disrespectful to her sister.
Wu Zhen could feel her unnaturalness, and he was no longer reluctant to see this.
"Then you go back and rest, and remember to take care of the queen tomorrow."
"Yes."
When I came out of the main hall, it happened to be drizzling in the sky. Li Qinlin, who was walking on the long street, smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. When Wu Zhen spoke to her so gently, she almost fell into Wu Zhen's endless tenderness. Fortunately, she kept telling herself to keep her distance from Wu Zhen, just because Wu Zhen killed her sister.
Li Qinlin can't do it without hating Wu Zhen, she is not a saint, and she doesn't want to be a saint. She will do what Li Qinhan asks her to do for him, but she will not have too much entanglement with him anymore.
