Chapter Thirty-Nine: Snatching the Child
Tian Meiren couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Su Zhaoyi's story, but she never expected that Li Qiusheng even confessed to the crime of planting the ground urchin, and clearly admitted that he was instructed by Concubine Shu.
Li Qiusheng's new confession startled Nan Jingpei, Shufei, Shufei, Shufei, the full page of confessions were all instructed by Shufei. In addition to abusing and killing Qian'er, all of them are directly related to Concubine Shu without exception.
With Li Qiusheng's confession, all the people in the Tai Hospital were acquitted. Except for Feng Qian'er's participation in the case and being sent to the court for hard labor, no one was involved.
After the fall of Li Qiusheng, Wang Pintang became the best candidate to serve the public, and naturally, he temporarily took the position of head of the Tai Hospital.
As soon as the internal guards of the Tai Hospital withdrew, all the news of the previous strict lockdown spread.
Hearing that Li Qiusheng had a new confession, Concubine Shu's heart was half cold. knelt outside the imperial study for a whole day, and did not wait for Nan Jingpei's summons.
Donglai held his hands and looked down at the concubine kneeling in front of him, without any expression on his face.
"Father-in-law Donglai, when will the emperor summon the palace? Ask my father-in-law to help the palace report again. ”
Over the years, Concubine Shu has never been so condescending to anyone in the palace, and today in order to ask to see the emperor, she actually pleaded with a eunuch to this point.
"Concubine Niangniang used to look down on us eunuchs, why did she ask for our chief steward now?" A little eunuch said in a weird way.
Concubine Shu bit her lip, if it was in the past, she would definitely give him a slap in the face, but not now.
"The emperor is on fire, you should leave quickly, don't bother our chief manager to be scolded." Seeing that Concubine Shu did not refute, the little eunuch became more and more proud.
"Shut up." Donglai reprimanded: "The master is the master, and the slave is not allowed to practice." ”
The little eunuch flattened his mouth and muttered: "It's difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river, which kind of master is it?" ”
Concubine Shu can be so low, so Donglai also felt a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said: "Concubine Shuniang, don't kneel here to annoy the emperor, the slave advises you, or hurry back to the palace to think about it behind closed doors, maybe the emperor can still look at the past feelings and treat the mother lightly." ”
"The palace is wronged, why doesn't the emperor see the palace, it's all Li Qiusheng's despicable villain, he deliberately framed the palace."
Even Donglai felt very pale with such an argument, he sniffed and said, "Concubine Niangniang, it's useless for you to say this to the minions, and the minions are not the adults who interrogate Imperial Doctor Li in the court." ”
"But......" Before Concubine Shu could finish her sentence, she saw a tall and pretty figure beside her slip past her.
Donglai hurriedly greeted him, bowed slightly and said, "Concubine Xian, the emperor is waiting for you." ”
Concubine Jiang Xian stopped, turned her head to look at Concubine Shu, did not speak, and helped Donglai's wrist into the imperial study.
Nan Jingpei was standing by the window and worried, and he had already heard what Concubine Shu had just said. Although he didn't want to believe it, he had to say that Concubine Shu's performance really disappointed him. In fact, on the day of the Red Plum Banquet, he had already warned her. It's a pity that she didn't listen to half a word.
Concubine Jiang Xian bent her knees slightly: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
Nan Jingpei turned around and beckoned at her.
"You know everything?" Nan Jingpei looked at Concubine Shu outside the window and asked.
Concubine Jiang Xian glanced at Nan Jingpei's gaze and said, "The concubines have heard about it." ”
"You and Su Zhaoyi are on good terms, I want to hear what you think about this."
Concubine Jiang Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "The emperor has his own holy judgment, and the concubines dare not speak falsely." ”
"You don't want to say?" Nan Jingpei stared at her for a moment and said, "You are a smart person. ”
Concubine Jiang Xian shook her head: "It's not that the concubine is smart, it's that the concubine can't bear it." ”
"Can't bear it?" Nan Jingpei was a little surprised: "Why? ”
Concubine Jiang Xian sighed and said: "The emperor also said that the concubine and Su Zhaoyi have always been good, and the concubine harmed Su Zhaoyi, and the concubine should hate her." If you talk about her heart, the concubine really wants her to die. But when you think about it, Concubine Shu can't die. ”
"Huh?" Nanjing Pei frowned.
"Your Majesty, the young son is innocent. Even though Concubine Shu is guilty of a lot of sins and mistakes, as long as the concubine thinks that she is the biological mother of Princess Yangxiu, and that Princess Yangxiu is the only daughter under the emperor's knees, the concubine will not be ruthless. Concubine Jiang Xian stroked Nan Jingpei's shoulder and said gently: "Your Majesty, even if it is for the sake of the child, leave Concubine Shu with her life." ”
"For the sake of the children?" Nan Jingpei asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Concubine Jiang Xian nodded: "The emperor believes that Princess Yangxiu is still so young, if she doesn't have her biological mother to take care of her, how pitiful it should be?" ”
"Being taken care of by such a femme fatale mother made me feel sorry for my daughter." Nan Jingpei said indignantly.
Concubine Jiang Xian stared at Nan Jingpei's gaze and asked, "What the emperor meant, the concubines don't understand." ”
Nan Jingpei let out a heavy breath and looked at Concubine Jiang Xian: "I plan to change Yangxiu with a mother." While Yangxiu was still in infancy, she was not affected by Concubine Shu. lest such a person teach my princess badly. ”
Concubine Jiang Xian steadied her mind and said: "The emperor is also right, children are not sensible, and they should choose a mother with a dignified character to raise them well." I just don't know who the emperor wants. ”
Nan Jingpei stared at her for a while: "Who do you think is more suitable?" ”
Concubine Jiang Xian thought for a moment and said, "Although Su Zhaoyi has a gentle character, after all, she is not compatible with the Xiao family, so it is not very convenient. Cheng Jieyu and Xu Chongyi are still young, and they are not small in play, and they are also very suitable for taking care of the princess. The concubine felt that although Tian Meiren's status was not high, she had a kind temperament, and it was most suitable for her to take care of the princess. ”
Nan Jingpei smiled indifferently: "Why don't you fight for yourself?" ”
"Concubine?" Concubine Jiang Xian shook her head: "The concubine is stupid, I'm afraid I can't afford such a responsibility." If the princess is wronged, the concubine will really die of guilt. ”
Nan Jingpei laughed loudly for a while, and said, "Tian Meiren is pregnant, and I'm afraid I don't have the heart to take care of Yangxiu." In my opinion, it is most suitable to send Yangxiu to your palace. ”
"This ......" Concubine Jiang Xian was overjoyed and almost burst into tears.
Nan Jingpei smiled: "This is a good thing, why are you crying?" ”
Concubine Jiang Xian rubbed her eyes and said, "Concubine, concubine cry with joy, lose her temper for a while, and hope that the emperor will forgive her sins." The concubine must do her best to take good care of the princess. ”
Nan Jingpei nodded: "Go, go to Baohua Palace and hug Yangxiu over." ”
Concubine Jiang Xian got the holy decree and walked out of the imperial study very happily.
Concubine Shu was still kneeling outside the hall, gloomy, but when she looked up, she saw Concubine Xian smiling, and she didn't know what Concubine Xian was happy about, so she stared at her intently for a while.
Concubine Xian stopped, slowly squatted down, hooked the corners of her lips and whispered: "The concubine will definitely take good care of Princess Yangxiu, and she must be regarded as her own, sister rest assured." ”
