Chapter 188: Debate and Argument
Emperor Joan of Arc frowned when he heard this, and when he arrived at the main seat of the main hall and sat down, Concubine Mei Shu followed on the couch next to her, and the slaves and maids below slowly got up.
"How could it involve you?" The majestic voice of Emperor Joan of Arc sounded, with seriousness. He has many concubines in his harem, but he hates women with vicious hearts.
After following Emperor Zhende for many years, Concubine Mei naturally knows the emperor's temperament. How much the emperor doesn't like women with vicious and deep hearts, no one knows better than her.
Although the emperor asked Wen Qingwu, she didn't speak. His eyes turned slightly and looked at Concubine Mei. Touching Wen Qingwu's eyes, Concubine Mei Shu directly opened her mouth first, and said, "Gao Cai people went to participate in the autumn hunt yesterday, and Wen Cai people also went together. He was found dead in the house early this morning, but Ji Fang, the slave who had been serving with the talented people yesterday, was gone.
Yesterday, he disappeared at the same time, and the little maid Liu Ye beside Wen Cairen. ”
Concubine Mei Shufei said as she secretly looked at Emperor Joan of Arc's expression.
"Early in the morning, the concubine recruited the slave Chun Niang who served closely by the Gao Cai people, and asked Chun Niang how close and far the Gao Cai people had been recently, there was nothing strange, only Wen Cai Ren, a little different." Concubine Mei looked at Emperor Joande's increasingly heavy face, and her heart was finally relieved.
She disposed of Wen Qingwu alone, the harem was full of people, and the imperial history of the previous dynasty was in charge of the east and west, and she also had to take care of the emperor's family affairs, as Wen Jin said, it is normal to have a "unkind" name. But the emperor is different.
Concubine Mei Shu's heart relaxed, leaning on the handrail on one side, her dignified posture was a little lazy, perhaps also disdainful of Wen Qingwu: "Wen Cairen used to be very good sisters with Gao Cairen. Later, for some reason, the two had an awkward fallout. No" Concubine Mei pinched Jinpa's fingertips and nodded at Chunniang below: "It didn't take long for the talented person to die." ”
The previous dynasties all had to tell the evidence to be conclusive, and the harem was different. Emperor Joan of Arc was a customary person, in the previous dynasty according to the rules of the previous dynasty, when he arrived in the harem, he followed the customary method of the harem.
In other words, because he is the master of the harem, he doesn't care about the so-called evidence. That's the biggest evidence he's for.
After Concubine Mei finished speaking, the hall quieted down, and Wen Qingwu raised her head and looked at Concubine Mei: "Can Concubine Niangniang's doubts be clarified to the emperor?" ”
A "doubt" lightly pointed out the fact that there was no evidence at all in the words that pointed to Concubine Mei Shufei.
Concubine Mei Shufei opened her mouth with a straight face, and before she could speak, Wen Qingwu said: "If the mother finishes speaking, it will be time for the concubine." ”
The one who can be convicted, when Emperor Joan of Arc is not there, is Concubine Mei Shu. But Emperor Joan of Arc is here, and it is this emperor.
But what is fighting, it is her and Concubine Mei Shu, who can convince the emperor more.
Empty arguments and arguments, she Wen Qingwu has never been afraid of anyone.
"Let's talk about autumn hunting first, Niangniang is right, yesterday's autumn hunting, the talented people went, and the concubines also went." Wen Qingwu looked at Emperor Zhende who was looking at him with a straight face: "But the emperor, yesterday's autumn hunt, all the concubines of the entire Ziwei Palace went." The concubine didn't know how the concubine could pull the concubine without evidence.
Besides, my maid is gone. Yesterday, Liu Ye ran into the hunting mountain because she was naughty, and the concubine begged the concubine to send someone with me to look for someone in front of the hunting ground. If Liu Ye was sent to do bad things, how could the concubine do this?
By the way, speaking of this," Wen Qingwu said, his tone paused, and his voice was aggrieved and choked: "Actually, it's not the fault of the lady concubine."
After all, Liu Ye is just a little slave, and it is normal not to send someone to look for it. It stands to reason that even if they are found, they will be punished. All this is blamed on the concubine for looking at Liu Ye's young age and being too indulgent, it is all the concubine's fault. Therefore, the concubine received ten slaps in front of everyone for the slave and maid, and she did not dare to complain. Wen Qingwu said as he spoke, and there was a mist in his eyes. Raising his arm and covering his cheeks, his cheeks were red and tender. It's not pitiful.
Generally, the disposal of palace concubines will not be in front of outsiders, one is for the dignity of the harem, and the other is for the face of Emperor Joan of Arc. In any case, the affairs of the harem are also his family affairs, and if they are placed in front of outsiders, they will not be caught by the imperial history.
Even though he often goes back to listen to Goshi discuss his family affairs, in fact, he hates Yushi to talk about his family affairs.
Emperor Joan of Arc turned his head and glanced at Concubine Mei Shu.
Concubine Mei Shu's face was panicked: "Your Majesty, the concubine is also angry."
"Your Majesty, don't blame Niangniang!" Wen Qingwu said, kneeling down with the corners of her skirt, with mist in her eyes, but her voice was serious and straight: "This matter is indeed the fault of the concubine." ”
Since seeing Concubine Mei's panic, Emperor Zhende's unhappiness has disappeared. Only at this moment, I heard that Wen Qingwu had admitted her mistake first and protected Concubine Shu in front of her, and her face was better: "Tell me, what's wrong with you?" ”
Emperor Joan of Arc favored Concubine Mei Shu, she knew it. How could she clearly say that Concubine Mei Shu was not good? Whether it's good or not, you can only let Emperor Zhende slowly taste it in his heart.
"A mistake lies in arsoning with slaves, which leads to the dereliction of duty of the maid. The second mistake lies in ignoring humility. brushed the dignity of the lady concubine in public, and went directly to the hunting mountain to find the lost little maid. "Who wouldn't.
In order to protect the little maid, she would rather be punished, which is so benevolent.
"It is the rule in the palace that the mother is punished according to reason. The concubine has no second word. Wen Qingwu said, prostrate down, and looked serious. It seems that he really thinks that the rules cannot be abolished.
Emperor Joan of Arc looked at Wen Qingwu with a sincere expression below, and pursed his lips that were blown by the autumn wind for a moment of silence.
The filthiness of the harem, he just didn't say it. But that doesn't mean you don't understand. I'm too lazy to care.
"Wen Qingwu, where are you going?" Concubine Mei Shufei interrupted the silence in the hall with a cold face: "You're talking about talented people, what are you talking about?" ”
"Isn't what Niangniang said before that Liu Ye's whereabouts are suspicious?" Wen Qingwu knelt up straight and looked up at Concubine Mei Shu: "What the concubine is talking about now is exactly what she is talking about. ”
Concubine Mei Shu didn't like it: "Where are you going back to the palace?" You're clearly running on it."
"Alright." Emperor Zhende interrupted, turned his head to look at Concubine Mei Shu, who was aggrieved because of the sudden interruption, grabbed her white fingers, pressed them in the palm of her hand and patted them: "Listen to this little hoof first." ”
Then he looked back at Wen Qingwu: "Go on." ”
Concubine Mei Shu let her hand be in the palm of Emperor Joan of Arc, and looked at Wen Qingwu with Emperor Joan of Arc's gaze, the grievances on her face were gone, and her face was gloomy.
