"Of course I did." Concubine Ye had no idea that she had fallen into the trap designed by Xie Qing.

Xie Qingwan smiled and said, "Then may I ask Niangniang, how did I push you, did I push you from behind or from the front?" ”

How did you push it? How did Concubine Ye know that she was originally nonsense, where could she say one, two, three, four, five.

Concubine Ye Defei looked at Emperor Yongqing and lied in front of His Majesty, but it was the crime of bullying the king, should she make one up randomly.

What kind of person is Emperor Yongqing, what a monarch is best at is speculating on people's hearts. From Bizhu's words, deeds, and looks, it can be confirmed that Concubine Ye De was indeed kicked into the water by Bizhu, and it has nothing to do with Xie Qing at all.

From the moment Concubine Ye Defei opened her mouth to identify that it was Xie Qing who pushed her into the water, Emperor Yongqing's face changed instantly. It's clear that Concubine De is lying. Concubine Ye is delicate and kind, and she is a rare "clear stream" in the harem, but now that she has been exposed by Xie Qing, Concubine Ye is like a clown.

Emperor Yongqing chose to wait and see, as the emperor, he didn't put too much energy into the harem, but he was not unaware of Ye Defei's pretentiousness, but Ye Defei was just a woman, he didn't know much, as long as this woman was in front of him in the state he wanted. But today's incident put Concubine Ye De's true face in front of him clearly, and he had to open his eyes wide to see clearly. What's more, this woman named Xie Qing, what trick does she want to play.

The harem, like the previous dynasty, must check and balance each other, so that the emperor can better control, but today's matter seems to want to break this balance. Xie Qing, although she is the daughter of the Xie family, but she is the daughter of the second room, Xie Erye has been dead for more than ten years, and the relationship between Xie Qing and the Xie family's big house is not good, so in fact, there is no power behind Xie Qing, a little orphan girl with no power, she actually has the ability to stir up the harem, which is not for Emperor Yongqing not to pay attention to.

Emperor Yongqing wanted to hide her emotions, of course Concubine Ye De couldn't see it, she felt that something was wrong in her heart, as long as she shed tears on weekdays, Her Majesty would be soft-hearted, and those who let her shed tears would be dealt with by Your Majesty, but today it seems that something is wrong.

But the water that spilled out of the words was spilled, Concubine Ye Defei had already said that it was Xie Qing who pushed her, so she couldn't say that it wasn't Xie Qing who pushed her now.

"I didn't see it clearly at the time, but this palace was pushed down, if it weren't for your palace, how could you fall, and then how could you fall into the water, Xie Qing, what crime should you be guilty of murdering the concubine!"

The corners of Xie Qing's lips hooked slightly: "In this case, Concubine De didn't see with her own eyes that it was the courtiers who pushed you into the water?" "This Concubine Ye De is rare to be smart, and it's not too much out of nothing.

Concubine Ye Defei gritted her teeth, "There were only a few people present at that time, you are the closest to the palace, isn't it who you are?" ”

tugged at Emperor Yongqing's sleeve again, and said with a whimper: "Your Majesty, this Xie Qing is the niece and daughter of Concubine Shu's sister, and she has been disrespectful to her concubines three times and twice, and she also asks Your Majesty to be the master of your concubines." ”

Xie Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, Concubine Ye De relied on Emperor Yongqing very much, but then she also figured it out, whether it was Concubine Ye De, King Zhao, or Ye Shangshu, King Zhao was slightly better, under the upbringing of Taifu, at least some ability, but Concubine Ye Defei and Ye Shangshu were both mediocre people, if they didn't have the favor of Emperor Yongqing, they wouldn't be able to do their current position at all.

"Oh? Shufei, Concubine De said that your niece is disrespectful to Concubine De, but is there such a thing? Emperor Yongqing turned to ask Concubine Shu.

In Emperor Yongqing's opinion, Xie Qing has no power behind him, and the Xie family has two concubines in the big house, and there is no need for Xie Qing at all, so Xie Qing can probably only rely on this aunt, so I am afraid that today's matter will not be related to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Xie Shu watched from the sidelines for a long time, Xie Qing was her niece, and she summoned her to the palace, and His Majesty was going to blame herself nine times out of ten, so she had already calculated the countermeasures in her heart.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De's sister's words, the concubines don't dare to agree, all the sisters are here, Qing'er didn't say half a word about Concubine De's sister." Concubine Xie said confidently.

In fact, Xie Qing didn't say half a word to insult Concubine Ye De, of course scolding people is going to beat around the bush, so that you know that the other party is scolding you, but you can't find any mistakes, you can only admit it.

Concubine Ye De was anxious: "Concubine Shu, the concubine knows that Concubine Shu's sister is popular in the harem, and she is not more likable than the concubine." ”

The corners of Xie Qing's lips hooked up a touch of sarcasm, Concubine Ye De is really stupid, this is not what she said, so so many concubines are good friends with Concubine Xie, so they can't form a group to help Concubine Shu speak, if you don't open your mouth, you will offend a group of people.

The faces of all the concubines were stiff, and one of the older concubines immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she has never helped anyone, but since Concubine De said this today, the concubine has to stand up and say fairly, Miss Xie spoke more straightforwardly, but she didn't say anything about Concubine De, if a person is going to be framed for being disrespectful to Concubine De because he tells the truth, then the concubine can't help but cry out for Miss Xie." ”

The concubine who spoke was Concubine Hui, just like her title, she was virtuous and kind, and she had an eldest princess, especially the queen mother, and even Emperor Yongqing had a respect for her. Her father was a former imperial doctor, and this concubine had completely inherited her father's temperament and was outspoken, so she said it with great weight.

Xie Qing smiled softly at Concubine Hui to show her gratitude. Concubine Hui also smiled at her, Concubine Hui is also a straightforward person, so Xie Qing is very appetizing to her, she can't tolerate Concubine Ye De framing her like this, so she can't help but stand up and speak for her.

"Concubine Hui, you are a partial concubine." Concubine Ye De gritted her teeth and said, not forgetting to complain to Emperor Yongqing, "Your Majesty, look at them, they all bully their concubines." ”

Concubine Xie Shu couldn't see Concubine Ye's style the most, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you also know Concubine De's temperament, and she is always easy to be overwhelmed, and when others say a word, she has already thought ten sentences in her heart, so she feels that Qing'er is insulting her." ”

A vivid example is in front of her, Concubine Hui just stood up and said something aggrieved for Xie Qing, Concubine Ye immediately said that Concubine Hui was favoring Concubine Shu, this person is just too heavy-minded, which is commonly known as hypocrisy.

Isn't a slut just hypocritical?

Xie Qing looked at Emperor Yongqing's expression in his eyes, his expression was as usual, so that people couldn't see any joy or anger, from the emperor's point of view, Emperor Yongqing did have true love for Concubine Ye De, but to what extent he would condone Concubine Ye De, it was really uncertain.

"Your Majesty." Xie Qing knelt down to Emperor Yongqing, but his back was straight, and he raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, several maidens are your concubines, and this matter is all caused by the courtiers, and the courtiers are really ashamed in their hearts." The courtiers entered and exited the court, and their words and deeds were unceasing, which made Concubine De unhappy, and the courtiers were willing to be punished. ”

Concubine Xie frowned slightly, what did she want to do, it was not easy to make Concubine Ye De's ugliness show, is it really good to give up at this time? Concubine Xie Shu's lips opened slightly, she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it after all, because Emperor Yongqing's attitude was unclear, if Emperor Yongqing really favored Concubine Ye De, then it would be better for Xie Qing to bear the consequences alone, and if she mixed in, I am afraid it would be bad.

But Concubine Hui opened her mouth and said, "Miss Xie, you didn't say anything wrong, you did anything wrong, don't take the blame on yourself." ”

Xie Qing smiled gratefully at Concubine Hui: "The courtiers Xie Niangniang is very loving, and the courtiers recognize it by the courtiers, and the courtiers can't admit it if they don't do it or kill the courtiers." ”

The implication is that if it is disrespectful to Concubine De, I can grit my teeth and admit it, but I won't admit other things.

Concubine Hui nodded, feeling in her heart that this was a wise woman.

"Concubine De Niangniang, Xie Qing's words and deeds are insignificant, Lao Niangniang's slender hand rewards the courtiers a few times, I don't know if you can relieve your anger, if there is no courtier, you are willing to accept the punishment. But the reason why you fell into the water is really not related to the courtiers, the courtiers have limited ability, and they failed to rescue the lady in time, if the mother wants to be punished, the courtiers are willing to accept it, and only ask the lady not to anger others. ”

Xie Qing spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, her back was straight, she knelt on the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen, and her hair was messy.

Ye Chengxuan frowned slightly, this woman is really articulate, let alone Concubine Ye De, I am afraid that the imperial historians in the court may not be able to speak as well. Ye Chengxuan quietly looked at Concubine Ye De, her heart was bad, Concubine Ye Defei's face was gloomy, and her eyes were resentful, obviously she didn't seem to intend to let this matter be left like this.

At this moment, Ye Chengxuan finally understood Xie Qing's purpose, she wanted to make Emperor Yongqing disgusted with Concubine Ye De. Emperor Yongqing can pamper Concubine Ye De, but he doesn't necessarily like a concubine who doesn't have the slightest eye. Emperor Yongqing has been here for so long, although it seems that he is on Concubine Ye De's side, but according to normal times, if Emperor Yongqing really completely favors this Concubine De, he would have pulled Xie Qing down and blamed him, instead of waiting until now.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Bizhu has confessed that she accidentally kicked Niangniang into the water, not Miss Xie, so please let Your Majesty take it lightly." Ye Chengxuan saw the opportunity and hurriedly said.

Xie Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, so fast that no one noticed. She ignored that there was also Concubine Ye De's nephew next to her. This Ye Chengxuan must have seen something, so he hinted at Concubine Ye De and stopped the matter.

Concubine Ye Defei frowned slightly: "Xuan'er, you ......"

"Mother." Ye Chengxuan immediately interrupted her words, "If it weren't for Miss Xie who saved Niangniang, I'm afraid that Niangniang would still be unconscious at the moment." ”

Regardless of whether what Concubine Ye Defei said about Xie Qing torturing her in the water is true or not, in the eyes of everyone, it is true that Xie Qing saved Concubine Ye Defei.
