Chapter Twenty-Three: The Truth Is Like Clothing

"Uncle!" The girl in brocade who originally sat on the ground and seemed to have hurt her ankle suddenly brightened her eyes, and she didn't need the support of the two palace attendants, she quickly got up, and threw herself into the bright yellow of the stride, and when a pair of big hands grabbed her, Lord Huaizhen seemed to have just remembered to salute, but was immediately stopped by Emperor Changtai.

"Huaizhen, what's going on? You're hurt? Emperor Changtai immediately noticed that the brocade-clothed girl was holding her hands high to her, with obvious blood stains, and immediately said angrily, "How do you slaves take care of the county master?!" ”

The emperor was furious, and all the people around him immediately knelt down, including Su Ruhui, who had unbearable knee pain, and at the moment of kneeling, Song Caisu gave her a smug look, which made Su Ruhui faintly feel bad.

Sure enough, the county lord of Huaizhen pointed at Su Ruhui with a crying voice: "Uncle, the soft sedan chair that this person was sitting on hit me, and the palace maid next to her will murder me!" Uncle is going to call the shots for meβ€”"

Emperor Changtai swept his eyes at the scene, and he was already a little clear, although Su Ruhui couldn't get rid of this matter, but Huaizhen himself was probably responsible for most of it, after all, it was Huaizhen who ran and crashed into the soft sedan chair. But he doesn't have a princess under his knees, this niece has always been liked by him, and now King Ning resigned at the beginning, and he is also the benefactor of Emperor Changtai, but Su Ruhui is only the daughter of a minister, and it doesn't matter if the palace people of Mingguang Palace are concerned.

Emperor Changtai immediately made a decision and slowly spoke: "Su Ruhui, the daughter of Su Wanhai, are you guilty?" "The emperor has an excellent memory, and he only listened to the Queen Mother once, and then remembered Su Ruhui's name.

Hearing Emperor Changtai's words, Su Ruhui's heart sank, Song Caisu knelt on the ground obediently, and a gloating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she saw Su Ruhui kowtow and said calmly: "The courtiers accidentally collided with the county lord, the crime deserves death, and please punish Your Majesty!" She was articulate just now, and Song Caisu had a headache when she argued, but she didn't expect Emperor Changtai to come, but her attitude changed suddenly, and she took all the charges down at once, which surprised the people around her, and the green clothes even raised her head, as if she wanted to speak for her, but when she thought that the person in front of her was the Son of Heaven, she bowed down in fear again.

Emperor Changtai saw that she neither argued nor pleaded, and actually admitted her mistake like this, but he was a little surprised, and he also liked her cleverly, and the punishment he originally planned was lighter, and he nodded and said: "Huaizhen is a dignified county lord, when you see her, you don't get off the sedan chair first to salute like a ceremony, but knock down the county lord, and the following offense, with humility, should have been expelled from the court, and scolded your parents for being unable to discipline her!" ”

The emperor said harshly, and even Song Caisu, who planned this matter, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his heart was pounding, for fear that if Emperor Changtai found out about his plan, I was afraid that the Song family would also be affected at that time.

Su Ruhui still had a calm face, and only said: "The courtiers are dull and frivolous, and have nothing to do with their parents, and please ask Your Majesty to punish the courtiers for the injuries suffered by the county lord!" No matter how His Majesty punishes, the courtiers will never complain! ”

"Since you say so, you still have a little filial piety, so I will allow you." Emperor Changtai said to Zhang An beside him, "Yes, the Su family's words and deeds were out of place, and they collided with the county lord, causing the county lord of Huaizhen to be injured. In addition, Su's virtue is insufficient, and he cannot accompany the Queen Mother for the time being, so he sent it to another palace to live temporarily, and copied the female rules and female rings 500 times each, and after the copy was full, he gave the Queen Mother and then discussed the matter of returning to Renshou Palace! As for the slaves of Mingguang Palace, let the queen be disciplined! ”

After disposing of it, Emperor Changtai ignored the four people in green who were sincerely afraid, but stared at Su Ruhui, who was kneeling there quietly, and said, "Su Ruhui, do you have any objections?" ”

"Thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, thank you for your majesty's forgiveness of your father!" Su Ruhui kowtowed calmly and said sincerely.

Emperor Changtai stared at her raised eyes for a moment, and saw that she did not show any resentment, her anger gradually subsided, and he smiled and said to the county lord Huaizhen who was holding her hand: "Huaizhen, are you still satisfied with the emperor's treatment like this?" ”

This disposal was so heavy that even Zhang An felt sorry, and the county lord of Huaizhen also wiped some of the oily skin on his hands, but Su Ruhua's skirt was stained with blood, and her forearms were obviously drooping...... Even if it is the prince who collides, I'm afraid the emperor will be punished for copying books and grounded, right? Zhang Anzhong sighed, a little sympathetic to this eight-year-old girl, but the accumulated years of palace career made his face always calm and without ripples.

Lord Huaizhen still pouted, and seemed to be not very willing, but before she entered the palace, her father, King Ning, had warned her not to be too presumptuous in front of Changtai and the Queen Mother, so Huaizhen pouted and nodded, which was considered to have allowed Su Ruhui to pass the test.

When Emperor Changtai announced the punishment, the green body shook obviously, as if she couldn't believe it, she was not for herself, Queen Zhou and Concubine Gu Xian have always been good friends, and she will not embarrass them too much, but for Su Ruhua. The court staff has always been used to beat slaves in the palace, and the slightly decent slaves will not be punished in the palace. The humiliating significance of this punishment far outweighs its criminal significance.

Even if Su Ruhui has no grade in the palace, she is the daughter of the general of the auxiliary country from the second grade, and the future princess! To be humiliated like this, can you stay in the palace in the future? Moreover, after receiving the court staff, she has to move out of Renshou Palace and move to live in another palace, which is equivalent to removing her from the queen mother.

Su Ruhui's name of entering the palace is to accompany the Queen Mother, and now the Queen Mother has three girls around her, the most favored Miss Huo Qi, and Zhou Yi'er is the queen's niece, these two plus the three princes who go to Renshou Palace from time to time, where can the Queen Mother still think of Su Ruhui when the time comes.

Staying in the palace in such an unknown way will sooner or later be trampled to death by the palace people!

Rather than accept this punishment, you might as well be expelled from the court!

After kneeling to see off the emperor, the palace road that was originally crowded with people was suddenly deserted, and only the four palace people of Mingguang Palace remained, looking at the blood stains on Su Ruhui's skirt, and couldn't bear to say: "Miss, go to Mingguang Palace with the slave maid first to wrap the wound, and the virtuous concubine will intercede for you." ”

Su Ruhui accompanied Concubine Gu Xian during this time, and spent a lot of effort to make Concubine Xian happy, and Green, as the big palace maid next to Concubine Gu Xian, was still very grateful to her, but she didn't immediately leave her alone.

However, Su Ruhui shook her head and said softly: "You can't implicate Concubine Xian Niangniang!" ”

"Niangniang, she ......" Luyi wanted to say that Concubine Xian Niangniang was deeply pitied by the Queen Mother, but she quickly realized that Emperor Changtai made the punishment decision in front of the people of Mingguang Palace, and even Mingguang Palace reprimanded her. Obviously, he also expected Concubine Gu Xian's incident, who knows if this lord deliberately punished Concubine Gu Xian to intercede so that he could borrow the donkey to get off the slope, or wait for Concubine Gu Xian to intercede and then reprimand Concubine Xian?

Thinking about it again, that Huaizhen County Lord was brought in by Xifu Palace, Xifu Palace? Although Green Yi did not accompany Concubine Xian to Renshou Palace to ask for peace today, she had already heard about those things in the Detai Palace, Concubine Gu Xian had always been not very harmonious with Concubine Huo, and the emperor's favor was far inferior to that of Concubine Huo.

Could it be that it was because Concubine Gu Xian's reluctant plea in the Detai Hall made the Huo family hold a grudge and deliberately took over this Huaizhen county lord and borrowed Su Ru's painting to make a living? This possibility is not impossible, although the Huo family is favored, it is very unpopular with the Queen Mother, and in the Changtai Dynasty, everyone knows how important the attitude of the Queen Mother is regardless of the harem.

This is also the reason why Concubine Gu Xian and Concubine Huo Guifei are not in harmony, and the emperor's favor is scarce, but she can still sit firmly in the position of Concubine Xian. Therefore, when the Huo family wants to deal with the concubines who are protected by the Queen Mother, in addition to instigating Changtai to snub them, there is no good way, and the obvious calculation will only cause the Queen Mother to suppress the Huo family.

Dragging the county lord of Huaizhen in, but this embarrassing situation can be solved.

The Queen Mother and Emperor Changtai were very grateful to King Ning for his actions back then, and they were also very tolerant of King Ning's Mansion. Over the years, the reward of King Ning's Mansion has always been the most and the best, it is said that when King Ning entered the palace to meet him, as long as he looked at a few more things, even if it was a rockery in the imperial garden, Emperor Changtai would let people move to the palace.

King Ning now has three sons and four daughters under his knees, the two sons are all adults and live in the mansion, the inner court is rarely moved, the youngest son is still by his side, and the two sons of the Kaifu are all named marquis, which is the only one among the kings. And the four daughters also have two daughters married, and the remaining two younger daughters, one concubine and one concubine, the county lord of Huaizhen is the concubine, and she is also the only daughter of Queen Ning, and the treasure is abnormal.

And when the Queen Mother originally raised Princess Le'an, she also loved the county lord of Huaizhen very much, and now that Princess Le'an has passed away, the county lord of Huaizhen is the most noble blood among the royal women in the imperial capital.

Therefore, even if the Queen Mother knew that all this was done by the Huo family, but with the county lord of Huaizhen, she could really drag Concubine Gu Xian into the water, making it difficult for the Queen Mother to interfere.

Thinking of this, Green Yi didn't dare to persuade more, although she sympathized with Su Ruhui, she was also Concubine Gu Xian's person. It's just that she was also surprised that Su Ruhui would confess her guilt so readily, and couldn't help but reproach in a low voice: "Miss, you are really, although that is the county lord, but Your Majesty Shengming, why don't you tell the difference?" ”

Su Ruhui smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, arguing? That will only make Emperor Changtai even more displeased!

Su Ruhui was also a concubine when she was at home, and she was an only daughter, her father gave birth to three sons before he had a daughter, and he was very pampered, when did he live a life of looking at people's eyes?

But that doesn't mean she really doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons. Su Ruhua clearly remembers that when she was five years old, she and her third brother Su Rufeng, who was born from the same mother, climbed the wall and went out to play with her second brother Su Rujun.

Su Wanhai thought that Su Rujun, the eldest of the three, must be the mastermind, and after ordering the three to kneel outside the ancestral hall, he grabbed the rattan whip and beat Su Rujun fiercely, at that time Su Rufeng and Su Ruhui were so frightened that they cried, and told Su Wanhai that they were the masterminds, but Su Wanhai ignored them at all, and Su Rujun was beaten all over his body, and he had a high fever overnight, and almost lost his life.

After he got better, Su Ruhui felt extremely guilty, and asked the second brother puzzled when he visited, why he didn't tell the truth.

Su Rujun sighed and said with a wry smile: "Ruhua, do you really think that your father will not know that you picked me up to go out together?" It's just that you and Rufeng are young and can't be beaten, and my father beat me just to scare you so that you don't dare to climb over the wall without permission in the future. ”

When he was seven years old, Su Ruhui understood, in fact, Su Rujun had another reason that he didn't say that day, Su Wanhai knew that the mastermind was not Su Rujun or whipped him with a heavy hand to scare the third son and young daughter, because Su Rujun was just a concubine, and in the eyes of Su Wanhai, who was born with a very heavy bloodline, his life and death were far lighter than Su Rufeng and Su Ruhui, who were born in the old princess.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what the truth is, because people who know the truth may not want to believe it, and even if they do, they will pretend not to know.

For example, Su Wanhai back then, such as Emperor Changtai just now.

Su Wanhai was reluctant to beat his son-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he used his concubine to kill chickens and monkeys; Emperor Changtai wants to repay King Ning's favor back then, so he has to blame Su Ruhui to make the county lord Huaizhen happy.

It's not that they don't know the truth, it's just that it doesn't matter what it is to them, they just make their decisions.

The so-called truth is just a piece of clothing that is not so important, wear it when you want to wear it, and press it at the bottom of the box as if you don't see it when you don't want to wear it, and that's it.
