Chapter Twenty-Eight: Concubine Li's False Accusation

When he returned to Biluo Palace, Yurun said worriedly, "Noble, the Seventh Prince won't really go to testify for Concubine Li, right?" ”

"That's right." Yuzhuo was also anxious, "The emperor loves the younger brother of the Seventh Prince the most, and the Emperor will definitely believe what the Seventh Prince says." ”

Both girls became impatient.

Jing Guiren scolded, "What are you panicking about? Didn't the emperor ask about the crime yet? It's never too late to figure it out! Let's wait first, and when something happens, it's not too late for the soldiers to come and cover the water. ”

Jing Gui's heart is really big! Yurun and Yuzhuo muttered in their hearts.

Ah! It's raining, but it's cool! It would be nice if there were grapes to eat at this time.

But this season, all the grapes in the palace are stored in the cold cellar? Grapes are not expensive, but cold cellars are expensive!

Ordinary grapes are put in the cold cellar and taken out again, but not everyone can enjoy them.

Therefore, the grapes in late autumn are particularly precious.

In the past, when she was in the Western Chu Kingdom, how could she ever worry about eating grapes?

At this time, the benefits of being born in the emperor's family are shown, and as a princess of a country, what reason is there to refuse the fate of harmony?

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Everything comes at a price.

She was still thinking about it here, and Yu Zhuo walked in tremblingly, "Nobleman, the chief manager of the emperor's side is here." ”

Yuzhuo looked worried, and said in a low voice, "This Wang Guan won't be ordered by the emperor to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, right?" ”

"Perhaps!" Chu Shuyao said and walked out.

Manager Wang was full of smiles, although he was flattering, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he deserved to be the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

"Please say hello to the Jing nobles, and the Jing nobles will be blessed." Mr. Wang saluted respectfully.

Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt!

"Why did Mr. Wang come here in person? What does the emperor have to order? Jing Guiren asked, already sitting down.

"Returning to the noble man, the emperor asked the servants to come over and ask. What kind of reward do you want? ”

Mr. Wang didn't dare to be careless at all! After the concubine goes to bed, the emperor will issue rewards, but those rewards are all according to the past, and they are all similar things.

The emperor sent someone to come over and ask in person, is Jing Guiren still the first one? And he also sent him, the chief manager, to ask in person, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Jing Guiren.

Jing Guiren was also very surprised when he heard what the king said, so he asked the king, "Isn't this reward all according to the past?" ”

Could it be because she didn't really sleep last night, so the emperor treated her differently?

Mr. Wang saw that Jing Guiren looked surprised, and he didn't break it, after all, Jing Guiren's calmness was abnormal?

Seeing that Jing Guiren was stunned and didn't speak, Chief Manager Wang reminded again, "Jing Guiren has thought about what reward to ask the emperor for?" Does the slave have to go back to his life? ”

"Huh? Reward? Jing Guiren muttered and thought for a while.

Everyone thought that Jing Guiren would name a string of rare treasures, but Jing Guiren said in an astonishing voice, "I wonder if the emperor can give me some ice grapes to taste?" ”

"Grapes? Ice grapes? Manager Wang first repeated in shock, and then laughed, "The emperor will definitely send someone to send the ice grapes that the nobles want." Is there anything else you want? ”

"Nope." Jing Guiren said neatly.

Mr. Wang suddenly felt something in his heart, no wonder the emperor would be so attentive to Jing Guiren? This Jing noble person is really different!

Mr. Wang just left, and Yuzhuo asked with a painful face, "Noble." Is that much of a love for grapes? ”

That's the emperor's grace! Even if you don't ask for some rare treasures, it's good to ask for the grace of a gold medal exemption! After all, Concubine Li hasn't gone to the emperor to complain?

What a waste! Such a good opportunity, but it was just exchanged for some grapes?

Before the grapes were delivered, Concubine Li had already gone to the emperor to complain.

The emperor couldn't stand Concubine Li's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he asked Mr. Wang to invite Jing Guiren over.

On the way there, Mr. Wang was thinking, this Jing noble man has just received the holy favor, is he going to fall like this?

Alas! Jing Guiren is a good person, and the other concubines get grace, that is, they can't wait to move the treasures of the entire palace to themselves, and Jing Guiren just wants to eat grapes!

Now the Jing nobles have not eaten the grapes? I don't know if the emperor is angry, and he doesn't give Jing Guiren grapes.

Alas! It's a pity, it's a pity!

Mr. Wang went to Biluo Palace to invite Jing Guiren, and kindly reminded Jing Guiren that Concubine Li went to the emperor.

At this point, Mr. Wang said no more. This is also his sense of self-protection to be able to be the head of the palace.

As soon as Manager Wang said this, Yuzhuo and Yurun panicked, and Jing Guiren was about to follow Manager Wang, but Mama Kong said that she would also follow, and asked Yuzhuo to follow, and Yurun stayed to guard the palace.

Mr. Wang walked in front, and Mama Kong deliberately waited for the intersection to turn and whispered to the nobleman, "You don't have to worry too much, presumably the emperor is facing the little master." Otherwise, he would not have sent the chief steward of the king to invite the nobles over. ”

Yuzhuo followed behind, and also heard what Mama Kong said, and said more, "But there are still seven princes..."

Before Yu Zhuo finished speaking, he was glared back by Jing Guiren.

Yuzhuo wants to say, Concubine Li still has the seventh prince to testify to her? The Seventh Prince said just now that he can help the nobles testify, and he can also help Concubine Li testify.

And the nobleman ignored the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince lost face and was angry, didn't he have to help Concubine Li perjury?

In the emperor's imperial study, as soon as the Jing nobles entered, Concubine Li pointed her nose and scolded, of course, Concubine Li is the imperial concubine, not a shrew in the market, she can't jump her feet, and she won't spit dirty words. But those words are as sharp as knives.

Concubine Li asked Jing why she was pushing her into the water. She asked herself if she had done anything to the noble people.

Jing Guiren listened quietly, and waited for Concubine Li to finish before defending herself, "I didn't push Concubine Li at all, why did Niangniang frame me?" ”

The two of them insisted on their own words, and the emperor had no way to decide the case.

Yu Zhuo naturally wouldn't tell the fact that the Seventh Prince was a witness, because the Seven Princes didn't know if they were enemies or friends? And the possibility of being an enemy is greater, so she doesn't dare to take this risk, so she can only let the situation stalemate.

Mama Kong stood up at this time and volunteered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is foolish, but there is a way to distinguish between the two mothers, who is true and who is false!" ”

Mama Kong looked confident at first glance, and Concubine Li was directly unwilling, "You are the person next to Jing Guiren, how can you believe your words?" ”

Mama Kong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "How dare the slave and maid play tricks in front of the emperor, the emperor is sage, can't you see the intention of the slave and maid?" The slave didn't dare to make a mistake, she just wanted to let the emperor know the truth as soon as possible! ”

"Bold, a minion, dare to contradict this palace." Concubine Li first scolded Mama Kong, and then coquettishly told the emperor.

"Your Majesty, look..."

Before Concubine Li's coquettishness was finished, the emperor said directly to Mama Kong, "If your method is not feasible, I will definitely not spare it." ”

"Yes." Mama Kong responded respectfully.

Mama Kong looked at the two palace maids beside Concubine Li and asked, "Have you all seen that the noble people pushed Concubine Li into the water?" ”

Concubine Li looked at the two palace maids, and the two palace maids said in unison, "Yes, we saw Jing Guiren pushing Concubine Li's mother." ”

Concubine Li immediately looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty." Shall I just say it? ”

Mama Kong said again, "The slave maid hasn't finished asking yet, please wait for a while." ”

Even if you ask, what can you ask? Jing Guiren did it, you still want to clear the suspicion for Jing Guiren, can you, a slave and maid, clear your suspicion? ”

Mama Kong is neither humble nor arrogant, "Concubine Li, the method of the slave and maid is agreed by the emperor, please let the slave and maid finish asking." ”

Concubine Li saw that the emperor had no intention of saying anything to stop her, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

Mama Kong asked Yuzhuo to take one of the palace maids to wait outside the palace, and when Yuzhuo and the palace maid went out, Mama Kong asked the palace maid who stayed in the hall, "You said that you saw Jing Guiren pushing Concubine Li, and that Jing Guiren pushed Concubine Li's back, or in front?" ”

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then said, "At that time, Concubine Li was talking to Jing Guiren, and Jing Guiren pushed Niangniang's back. ”

"Okay." Mama Kong nodded, and said to Chief Manager Wang, "Please take this palace maid to the apse for a while." ”

Then he said to the emperor, "Please wait a while, the slave and maid will go and call Yuzhuo in." ”

Waiting for Yuzhuo and another palace maid to come in, Mama Kong asked the palace maid what she saw, whether Jing Guiren pushed Concubine Li's back or front.

The palace maid looked at Concubine Li, and finally said timidly, "At that time, Concubine Liniang walked over to Jing Guiren, and Jing Guiren grabbed Niangniang's arm and dragged Niangniang down. ”

"Then you mean to say that Jing Guiren didn't push Concubine Li's back?"

"Slave, slave and maid are a little confused." The palace maid received Concubine Li's fierce gaze. I was too scared to speak.

"Your Majesty, the slave has already asked clearly." Mama Kong replied to the emperor.

At this time, there was also a little eunuch who called the chief steward and the palace maid over.

The emperor slammed the table, so frightened that the palace people's legs trembled.

"What's going on? Why don't you tell the truth? The emperor was angry, and everyone trembled.

The previous palace maid bit her head and didn't change her words, "The slave did see that Jing Guiren pushed Concubine Li. ”

"Did you see Jing Guiren pushing Concubine Li's back?" The emperor asked slowly, but even if his tone was gentle, it made the palace maid's back cold.

At this time, she didn't dare to change her words, "Yes, the slave maid saw that Jing Guiren pushed Concubine Li's back." ”

"What about you?" The emperor asked another palace maid.

"Slave, slave and maid can't remember clearly, it seems to be pushing the back." The palace maid trembled and stammered.

"Your Majesty, the development of things at that time was unexpected, the matter was urgent, and the palace maids were anxious for a while, and they couldn't remember clearly. But no matter where you push, the Jing nobles pushed the concubines! The emperor wants to be the master of his concubines! Concubine Li burst into tears in an instant, as if she had been greatly wronged.

At this time, the palace people went back and forth, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince asks to see you." ”
