Chapter 793: Sunset (I)
Mu Chanyuan's movements have always been neat. When he returned to his lodgings, he immediately changed into his formal clothes, and called the chamberlain to give him a careful order:
"I'm going to go to the palace right away. Originally, I invited my father and mother to sit in the house today, but now it seems that I am afraid that I have not come back at that hour. You tell them to sit with me for a while. I will leave the palace as soon as I finish my work, and I will not delay too long. β
After thinking about it, he took out another burden and handed it to the chamberlain, and said with a smile: "If they are bored waiting, you can show them this." I made it for them with my own hands these days. β
The waiter felt strange, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he had to smile and agree.
Mu Chanyuan only brought a maid, and she no longer said goodbye to Ji Meishu, so she went directly to the palace.
According to her grade, there was no King Wei and Princess Wei to lead her, so she could only wait for the edict. But after all, she was pregnant, and the guards ran fast, but in half an instant, an attendant came to lead her to a soft sedan chair and went straight to Qingning Palace.
Empress Shao sat on the top coldly, gritted her teeth, and asked Jia Shen in a low voice: "Do you know what she is doing?" β
Jia Shen looked confused: "I don't know." Yesterday, Princess Wei came over with the little county lord, but you didn't see it. The old slave also went to warn him and asked His Royal Highness King Wei to come over and explain to you...... Why didn't King Wei come, she came? She's a ......."
The old chamberlain hurriedly stopped and lowered his head, swallowing back the half of the sentence "something" at the end.
Empress Shao glanced at him and snorted, "What you said is not wrong at all, what's so scary?" What kind of thing is she? Back then, it was just for Princess Silla to get pregnant, so I casually promoted a daughter of Changshi who served the princess to Erlang as a concubine! A concubine, what is it? Do you dare to come and see me alone? Hold on to her belly? β
"Mother, you whisper." Jia Shen hurriedly persuaded him, sighed, and complained in a low voice, "It's all the rumors outside!" If you get twins, the king will add a white one! This Mu probably thinks that his stomach is so expensive! β
Empress Shao stopped talking, but her face sank like water, and it was obvious that she was getting more and more angry.
"King Wei's widow Mu Shi came to see the queen's mother." The palace maid outside the hall is transmitted.
"Hmm." Empress Shao only snorted.
Mu Chanyuan was still as gentle and upright as before, and gave Queen Shao a kneel and bow to Queen Shao carelessly: "Mu Chanyuan, knock to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old." β
This etiquette is pretty much the same.
Empress Shao's face softened: "You are pregnant, don't bend over like this, get up and give you a seat." β
"Thank you for your grace." Mu Chanyuan stood up, saw the palace people bring a round stool, and bent her knees to nod her head to thank her, before carefully sitting on the side.
"You don't have a good baby in the Weiwang Mansion, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that Mu Chanyuan was always nervously protecting her stomach with one right hand, Queen Shao's anger rushed up again.
As soon as her eyebrows moved, Mu Chanyuan knew that she was angry again, so she hurriedly stood up again, bowed her knees and said, "The concubine is here to ask the queen for forgiveness today!" β
After saying this, he simply fell to his knees again and bent down.
"You? What are you guilty of? Empress Shao became more and more annoyed when she saw her not taking her own stomach seriously like this.
"Niangniang misunderstood His Royal Highness King Wei! That incident, that incident all started by me, and Your Highness didn't know about it at first! It was only later that when the matter came to an end, I had to take advantage of the situation......" Mu Chanyuan was so nervous that she was sweating, the palms and foreheads of her hands were on the ground, she closed her eyes, and said word by word.
Empress Shao was slightly stunned: "From you?" What's going on? β
Just ask!
Being willing to ask means there are gaps to exploit!
Mu Chanyuan closed her eyes tightly and recited the words that had been arranged along the way: "When the concubine was young, she befriended Shen Hao, the daughter of Shen Xinyan, in Shuzhou. Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Shen Hao was naΓ―ve at that time, and he would tell the concubine what he heard at home. Once, the concubine heard her say that her ancestor may not be surnamed Shen, but surnamed Su. The concubine was startled at the time, so she remembered it very firmly.
"After entering Beijing, the concubine heard about the case of the rebellion of the Marquis of Su, and His Majesty originally intended Shen Xinyan to preside over the trial. But he tricked up his game and avoided the errand. Because it is related to a Su character, the concubine body is attentive. Later, when she entered the Weiwang Mansion, the concubine ordered someone to visit her in private.
"Who knew that the people sent out by the concubine accidentally met the Shen Li brothers and sisters, and after the exchange, they knew that the Shen family might indeed be Su Hou's relatives......"
Empress Shao looked at her coldly and listened coldly.
There was no other movement in the main hall of Qingning Palace, and the huge hall listened to Mu Chanyuan's voice trembling and echoing.
The concubine was really annoyed with Shen Hao, so she made an assertion and brought the case out. When the case arrived at the Criminal Department, His Royal Highness learned that it was the concubine who was behind the scenes, so he reprimanded the concubine.
"I originally wanted to stop, but who knew that His Royal Highness the Winged King broke the city of Luo. If the Shen family is let go in this situation, then when the Wing King returns with immortal military exploits, not to mention King Wei, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may he be able to take advantage of him? ! β
Speaking of this, Mu Chanyuan already felt that she was justified, although her hands still did not dare to leave the ground, her head was raised, and she looked straight at Queen Shao.
At this moment, Empress Shao looked at her as if she was looking at a madman: "So, you persuaded King Wei again and ordered Qin Yitong to stab the case directly into the hands of Princess Gantang, and send it to Your Majesty?" β
Mu Chanyuan's heart jumped suddenly, the secret way was not good, but she didn't know where her mistake was, so she hurriedly leaned down again, and her forehead hit the ground: "The concubine is arrogant, but she is only single-minded ......"
"Shut up!"
Empress Shao shouted loudly!
She couldn't understand how this cheap maid in front of her thought that such an elegant and knowledgeable woman was qualified to enter the East Palace to give birth to the prince?!
Jia Shen hurriedly bent down and whispered in Empress Shao's ear: "That's it, don't be angry." She is just pretending to be smart, she thinks that she has a child in her belly, you can look at her face, don't be angry with King Wei. The little woman's cleverness is all for her husband. Don't take it personally......"
"Can I not take it to heart?! Am I a fool? I dare to say this kind of rhetoric openly in my Qingning Palace, in front of me, generously!
"said that she was for the future status of the crown prince and King Wei, so she was determined to suppress their siblings, and even used the trick of framing!
"If these words reach His Majesty's ears, then I, the queen, can still deserve it? Can the prince's East Palace still live?! Such unrighteousness, disloyalty, and unfilial piety!
"If I had spared her after hearing this, would I not have my own life?!"
Empress Shao almost screamed! 2k reading web
