Chapter 923: Entrusting the Empress
Concubine Li Xian Huo Ran raised her head!
It's the emperor, how can the emperor be in the apse?!
A bright yellow robe swept out of the apse, Yuan Zhi walked towards the head with a calm face and sat beside Queen Zhou.
Everyone bowed their heads and saluted.
Concubine Li Xian was stunned for a moment.
She finally understood what was strange about Empress Zhou's expression, it turned out that the emperor had been listening to the apse, listening to her previous argument of not admitting her guilt, and listening to her embarrassment that she now had to admit her guilt.
If she had known that the emperor was listening, Concubine Li Xian would not have confessed to her guilt no matter what!
"Your Majesty, the concubine was just confused for a while, and she didn't speak too much, and she didn't mean to offend the Queen Mother. The concubine knows her mistake and asks the emperor to forgive the concubine! β
Concubine Li Xian's mind moved, and she immediately fell to the ground, crying bitterly, "Your Majesty, the concubine is only in a bad mood recently, so she will say such undesirable words." The concubines were able to enter the palace to serve the emperor thanks to the favor of the queen mother, how could the concubines really slander the queen mother? β
As she spoke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Concubine Li Xian has always been strong and rarely cries in front of people, and Queen Zhou frowned at this scene.
Zhao Guiren rolled his eyes disdainfully.
This wicked woman almost hurt herself, and now she is crying and pretending to be pitiful in front of the emperor, she is really good!
Yuan Zhi looked at Concubine Li Xian and remained silent, "Oh? Why are you in a bad mood? β
Concubine Li Xian took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Yuan Zhi sadly, "Concubine...... The concubine felt lonely and homesick in the palace, the queen was pregnant, the emperor often accompanied her in Kunning Palace, and the rest went to Chuxiu Palace, and rarely came to Changchun Palace. The concubine kept the empty room alone every night, so she was depressed and would say inappropriate words. β
Her posture is very low, her tone is very weak, and her complaining appearance makes people have to sympathize.
Only Empress Zhou's brows became more and more frowned.
She knows Concubine Li Xian's temperament very well, Concubine Li Xian looks weak and dignified on the outside, but she is very strong in her bones, and she will never easily show weakness in front of outsiders.
I won't say anything like being alone in an empty room.
Concubine Li Xian at this moment makes people feel strange and fake, but except for Queen Zhou, others probably don't feel that she is acting.
Empress Zhou opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
Concubine Li Xian's crime is conclusive, it is common sense that she wants to pretend to win the emperor's sympathy, although she looks uncomfortable, there is no need to put Concubine Li Xian to death.
She didn't say anything, but Zhao Guiren couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by her!" What is called being alone in the empty room so depressed, according to Concubine Xian Niangniang, in the future, we concubines can talk about the Queen Mother if they are in a bad mood? Is there any rule to that? β
Concubine Li Xian glanced at Zhao Guiren with tears, "Sister Zhao's words are good, but you are favored by the Holy Grace, so naturally you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." If you were as lonely as I am, you might not do anything and say anything. β
Zhao Guiren: "......"
She's been a little more favored lately, but she's not left an empty room alone!
Zhao Guiren couldn't figure out how to distinguish for himself, so he listened to Concubine Li Xian say quietly: "The emperor is a good man." This matter is all the fault of the concubine, and the concubine does not dare to disrespect the queen mother in her heart, but she didn't keep the door on her lips, and it is a fact that she was confused for a while. But this rumor has spread to this day, it is the result of Zhao Guiren's deliberate dissemination, if she does not spread it like this, the words of the concubine offending the queen mother will only be heard by a few close palace people, why would it be so troublesome that the palace knows about it? If the queen mother is unhappy, this is not only the responsibility of the concubines, but also the emperor is asked to learn from it. β
Zhao Guiren broke out in a cold sweat when he landed.
Damn Concubine Li Xian, in the end, she still put the blame on her!
"Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine at most wants Concubine Li Xian to be deflated, but this is indeed what Concubine Li Xian said, she is disrespectful to the Queen Mother, what does it have to do with the concubine?"
"Alright, shut up."
Yuan Zhi glanced coldly, and neither Concubine Li Xian nor Zhao Guiren dared to speak again.
He glanced at Xiao Jizi, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Imperial Garden and tell the Queen Mother about this matter." The person who was offended was the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would be punished how she could dissipate her anger. As for the two of themβ"
Yuan Zhi paused, "Concubine Li Xian is grounded in Changchun Palace, the worship is halved, and Zhao Guiren is grounded, and he is not allowed to leave Chuxiu Palace if he has nothing to do." β
Zhao Guiren was shocked in his heart.
The emperor grounded the two of them together and waited for the queen mother to fall, which seemed to be the same, but in fact there was a difference.
At least she didn't enshrine halving.
Her offering as a noble person was not high in the first place, and if it was halved again, this day would really be impossible to live.
From this point of view, the emperor still favors her in his heart, right?
Before Zhao Guiren could figure it out, she had already been invited out of Kunning Palace, so she had no choice but to bless herself and go back to Chuxiu Palace honestly.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Xiao Kiko went from the palace to the Imperial Garden.
He told Su Youyi about this from beginning to end, and Su Youyi couldn't cry or laugh.
Unexpectedly, she and Ji Yushen sneaked out of the palace to play on a whim, and they caused so much turmoil, and let Concubine Li Xian and Zhao Guiren take this opportunity to compete for the wind and become jealous.
Xiao Jizi said: "The emperor and the queen have already interrogated last night, and now Concubine Li Xian and Zhao Guiren are grounded in their respective palaces. What the emperor meant was that this matter involved offending the Queen Mother, and in order to dissipate the Queen Mother's anger, the Queen Mother was asked to decide how to punish her. β
Su Youyi just smiled, "If you don't come to tell me, I don't know about this at all, so why talk about being angry?" But since the matter is getting bigger, sooner or later I will know that this matter will be dealt with in the end. The two of them offended me because I didn't fake it, but they were concubines, and it was only right that they should be dealt with by the queen, the lord of the harem. β
"What did the Queen Mother say?"
Xiao Jizi said with a smile: "Nominally, the queen is the master of the harem, but the emperor and the queen love you in their hearts, so they naturally listen to you." How to deal with this matter, the Queen Mother should not be humble, just say what is in her heart. β
Su Youyi paused, her gaze swept over Xia'er, Yan'er and the others.
They all watched curiously, not knowing what kind of decision Su Youyi would make.
Su Youyi thought about it and said with a smile: "It's okay." This matter is still handled by the queen, and it is said that the mourning family has full authority to entrust the queen to deal with it. However, there are a few words you can tell the queen that whoever the mourners think is offensive should be dealt with. Although Zhao Guiren made a big fuss, she was not at the mourning family, but at Concubine Li Xian, and the mourning family couldn't blame her, don't you say? β
As soon as Xiao Kiko heard this, she understood.
Su Youyi said on her face that she would hand it over to the queen for disposal, giving the queen face, but in fact, she hinted at punishing Concubine Li Xian and sparing Zhao Guiren's thoughts.
He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave will go back and tell the emperor and the queen." β
