Maybe it was because she felt that she could finally feel at ease, Xu Xiangjin slept for a long time, and when she woke up, she was a little confused, until she suddenly remembered that Zhan Qing had returned, and hurriedly wanted to get up to find someone, only to find that he was lying on his bed, looking at her with blazing eyes, which made her feel a little ashamed for a while.

"I... I just thought I was dreaming, maybe I slept a little dazed, you just rushed back, just here with me for so long, now you must be very tired, I'm fine now, sleep feels very comfortable, you also pack up, now there must be many ministers waiting for you to lecture. ”

Xu Xiangjin felt that he was very empathetic at this moment, and he was a fan of Zhanqing's career, obviously he also needed someone to accompany him, but he was willing to let him go very sensibly.

Zhan Qing did have something to do at this time, but Xu Xiangjin's state didn't look as good as she said, and he was still a little worried.

"Is it really okay for you to be alone, do you need me to get you something?"

"Hmm..."Xu Xiangjin pretended to think for a while, and then rubbed his stomach pitifully, "I dare to eat anything when you are not there, for fear that someone will poison me, plus because of the injury, the doctor won't let me eat anything, I am much better now, I really want to eat something delicious, can you let someone make me something delicious." ”

First, Xu Xiangjin didn't want him to worry, so she seemed to be more like usual, and secondly, she had slept for too long and was indeed a little hungry.

"Okay..."Zhan Qing lightly dropped a kiss on her forehead, "I'll immediately order someone to make you something to eat, wait for me to deal with some urgent matters first, and I'll be back soon, can you rest when you're tired alone?" ”

Xu Xiangjin was only injured in the buttocks, but he felt that he regarded himself as a disabled person, and left the palace maids and senior female officials who served him alone.

As soon as Xu Xiangjin came out, Zhan Qing's face immediately became gloomy, "Yankang, how did you check?" Who is so bold? The one who dared to touch me. ”

Although Yan Kang has been with the emperor for so many years, he still has some confusion about why he suddenly became so terrifying, especially before every time he gets angry like this, it is like Satan coming, as if he will take people's lives at any time.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Concubine Lingniang, after you left the palace, she came to Miss Xu the next day, and after she left, Miss Xu was injured, and then it was Concubine Zhen who saved her!"

"It turns out that I usually underestimate Concubine Ling, it seems that it's time to meet her for a while."

Zhan Qing didn't even change his clothes, but still took the original person and returned to his palace in a mighty way, ordering someone to bring Concubine Ling over.

Concubine Ling didn't expect that she had been beaten like this, Xu Xiangjin was still alive, she had been thinking about how to get rid of her unknowingly in the past few days, and she never thought that the emperor would come back so quickly, and her plan could only be put on hold for the time being.

She knew that once the emperor saw Xu Xiangjin's half-dead appearance, he would definitely ask her to ask her for guilt, so she had thought about the wording of how to answer from the beginning, so when Zhan Qing really found someone to take her to interrogate, she was not very flustered.

"Your Majesty, you won't tell your concubine when you come back, so that your concubine can pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, I don't know what Your Majesty called me here today?"

Zhan Qing had already seen that Concubine Ling had been pretending to be knowledgeable, but he originally thought that as long as the well water did not interfere with the river water, he didn't need to demolish her, but he didn't expect him to dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, he saw him pretending like this now, the more he looked at it, the more he hated it, and immediately threw the teacup in his hand next to her, so scared that she didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Say, who let you lynch in this harem, besides, Xu Xiangjin is the person I brought over, you dare to treat her like this, you can't help but ignore me too much, you'd better be honest, why did you do such a thing? Otherwise, don't blame me for not looking at your family's face. ”

It turned out that it was because of his own family that he deigned to come to interrogate in person, and he didn't care about the love of husband and wife at all?

But even though she was unusually angry in her heart, she looked aggrieved on the surface.

"Your Majesty, I'm really wronged, it's true that I'm fighting well, but that's not my will, Your Majesty also knows that I'm just a concubine in this harem, if the queen gives an order, how dare I disobey? Of course, I also know that Miss Xu is His Majesty's person, but after all, His Majesty is not there, and I have nowhere to find someone to help, so I can only helplessly follow her orders. ”

Zhan Qing narrowed his eyes, obviously, he didn't believe Concubine Ling's words, besides, he didn't give her the queen's phoenix seal before leaving, how could she give orders.

"I remember that you have always been at odds with the Queen, why don't you know when you listened to her so much? Or would you rather have such an order? ”

Concubine Ling knew that the more she explained at this time, the more she was wrong, so she simply didn't say anything except shouting grievances.

"Since you said that it was the queen's order, then it's just right, invite the queen over to confront each other and see who said it is true or false?"

The messenger received the order and went out quickly, and the palace maid had quickly poured a cup of tea for Zhan Qing, and sat on the top seat and drank it calmly.

Concubine Ling has been the young lady of the family since she was a child, she has never been wronged at home, even her parents have not worshiped her so much, and her status is not small after coming to this palace, so she has almost never knelt like now, she is already delicate, and after a while, she feels the pain of her knees jumping and jumping, which makes her a little unbearable, and she hurriedly begs for mercy pitifully.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is estimated to be a long time away, this underground is really hard, my knees hurt so much, Your Majesty can you allow the concubine to stand up for a while, and then kneel when the queen mother comes..."

She deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice, and she has always been very confident in her appearance, how many men have fallen under her pomegranate skirt, if she hadn't entered this harem, she would definitely become a peerless figure, the emperor is also a man after all, and it is inevitable that she will be vulgar in the face of beauty.

But she was about to blink her eyes off, but the emperor turned a deaf ear, and did not mean to let her stand up at all, the emperor did not speak, and Concubine Ling naturally did not dare to stand up without authorization, so she could only kneel in pain, and after a while, her beautiful eyes contained some tears.

"You think your legs hurt just by kneeling here for a while, so when you asked people to hit Xu Xiangjin with the board, why didn't you think that she would hurt too? Just this little pain won't kill you, so you just kneel and deserve to be punished. ”

Isn't it just to teach a nameless woman from outside, where can she compare with her identity, it is her honor to be willing to deign to teach her, and now the emperor still makes her empathize, it is too ridiculous.

But even if she was indignant in her heart, now that the emperor was angry, it was really not suitable to say anything that made him unhappy, so she could only kneel while secretly cursing Xu Xiangjin in her heart.

……

Zhan Qing said that he was looking for the queen to confront him, but in fact, he had already investigated it clearly, so before the queen was brought over, he brought Concubine Xian over first.

Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Xian has always been on the queen's side and will never betray her, but now that Concubine Ling looks at her confused appearance, she knows that this time she will never protect the queen.

"Concubine Xian, tell me everything you know, so that I will naturally help you."

Although Concubine Ling didn't quite understand what the emperor meant, it was certain that Concubine Xian was definitely threatened, especially when she heard the emperor say to help her, her originally gray eyes lit up, and she knelt down directly.

"As long as Your Majesty is willing to help, I will say anything, it is the queen, because she was received a phoenix seal and grounded, so she can neither give an order nor do it herself, so I ordered someone to find me, and then asked me to bring a message to Concubine Ling, let her deal with Miss Xu, I just conveyed the queen's order, other than that, I really didn't do anything, Your Majesty must investigate clearly!"

She kowtowed extremely loudly on the ground, which was much more useful than her aggrieved two voices, and Concubine Ling admired her a little now, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xian, who had always been unscrupulous, would have a time when a rabbit was in a hurry to bite someone.

"Who let you talk nonsense here, be careful that I tear your mouth apart, in vain I am usually so good to you, and now you are slandering me in front of Your Majesty, are you tired of being crooked?"

The queen heard the whole process of Concubine Xian's explanation outside, and before she could enter the house, she immediately howled and scolded Concubine Xian.

If it was in normal times, no matter whether she made a mistake or not, Concubine Xian would admit her mistakes invariably, but this time, she stubbornly raised her head, and for the first time looked at her so directly, the queen inexplicably felt that her momentum was a little weaker.

"The reason why I used to protect you in everything was because I was grateful to my mother's family for giving my father a job, so that he could support the whole family, but I never thought that all our gratitude was used, and my father turned out to be a shield, and he is still on death row, if I hadn't gone to see him in time, maybe you would have sent the poison a long time ago, and I would almost have no father."

The queen actually knew about this, but she just felt that her father was just abandoning an inconsequential person, but she didn't expect that a choice at that time would cause so much trouble to herself, and she felt a little regretful for the first time.

"I'll figure out another way for your father's affairs, I know you're just angry, that's why you're talking nonsense, it's too late to take back what you just said! We've always been good sisters, and I'll definitely take your affairs to heart, so you don't have to frame me so extremely. ”
