Chapter 498: Seeing is believing
Concubine Zhao, turned into a monster?
When the queen and Concubine Rong heard Emperor Hui's words, they were all surprised and looked incredulous.
It's just that if you look more closely, the queen's expression is really shocked and inexplicable, and she can't believe it; And Concubine Rong seemed to have a hint of joy on her face.
However, the snickering joy on Concubine Rong's face flashed too quickly, so fast that if she hadn't stared at her face well, she would probably miss it.
Regardless of whether the two reacted or not, the most important thing now is Emperor Hui's words.
Emperor Hui said that Concubine Zhao has become a monster, what does this mean?
How did you suddenly become a monster by being a good person?
If someone else said this, the queen and Concubine Rong might still treat him for the crime of alarmism and rumor-mongering.
Emperor Hui once said that Zi Bu said that the strange power is chaotic, so in the Nanzhao Palace, it has always been forbidden to talk about these things of the gods and ghosts.
But today, Emperor Hui himself said that Concubine Zhao had become a monster, which was contrary to his words and deeds.
But Emperor Hui is the emperor after all, not an ordinary person, so even if he talks to himself and slaps himself in the face, the queen and Concubine Rong will not take the initiative to expose Emperor Hui's shortcomings.
At this moment, the two can only cooperate.
Because, when Emperor Hui said this, the expression on his face was really too serious, so serious that the queen and Concubine Rong had no way to doubt the truth of his words.
If what Emperor Hui said is true, then this Concubine Zhao has really become a monster?
Emperor Hui saw that after he finished saying that, the expressions of the queen and Concubine Rong changed from surprise to fear, and finally, to puzzlement, so he waved his hand to Chang Gonggong and ordered Chang Gonggong to bring people to escort Concubine Zhao out.
Gonggong Chang obeyed orders, and soon, Concubine Zhao in the inner hall was escorted out by several internal guards.
When she was escorted out, she was still wrapped in the bright yellow brocade quilt that Emperor Hui usually covered.
The queen and Concubine Rong both saw that after Emperor Hui saw that the quilt was wrapped in "Concubine Zhao", a look of extreme disgust flashed on his face.
Both of them seemed puzzled.
The mass of things wrapped in the brocade quilt in front of her, looking at the outline, can barely be recognized, it is a human form, but her whole person is wrapped in the quilt, what it looks like, I can't see it at all.
was puzzled, so he heard Emperor Hui scolding Chang Gonggong, "Chang Ting, what's the matter with you, didn't I ask you to escort her out, how can I tell her to bring out my quilt too!" ”
When Gonggong Chang heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "The emperor is groomed, it's not that the slaves don't listen to your orders, it's true, there is something wrong with this Concubine Zhao, and the slaves are afraid that the mother will come out without concealment, which will damage the royal reputation, so I agreed to take the quilt out of the quilt." ”
As soon as Father-in-law Chang explained this, Emperor Hui understood.
Concubine Zhao is here to sleep tonight, so she should be naked at the moment, if she is not allowed to come out wrapped in a quilt, it will indeed have a bad impact, and it will also damage the royal face, it seems that he is still wrong to blame Chang Ting.
Thinking of this, Emperor Hui showed an approving look at Chang Ting, Chang Ting saw it, bowed and bowed, but he did not take credit, and silently stood back beside Emperor Hui.
Chang Ting is interesting and loyal, Emperor Hui has always known, otherwise, he would not have stayed with Chang Ting for so long.
The queen and Concubine Rong didn't care if Chang Ting was interested or loyal, they wanted to see with their own eyes what Concubine Zhao, who had become a monster in Emperor Hui's mouth, looked like?
Even if Emperor Hui said it himself, but seeing is believing, right?
Concubine Zhao is the princess of the Xiongnu, if something happens to her, whether it will cause the two countries to go to war, these are not good.
The queen knew that Concubine Rong had done things in private, but she didn't find out what Concubine Rong had done.
Now listening to what Emperor Hui said, her heart couldn't help but sink.
Concubine Rong will inevitably be light, and at this moment, the queen can't help but rejoice in her caution a few days ago.
If she arrested the Xiongnu's Neiying a few days ago, and Concubine Rong was ruthless to the Xiongnu princess, then it is very likely that Nanzhao would be bitten by the Xiongnu because of this, even if she caught Neiying, it would be meaningless.
Thinking that it might cause a war between the two countries because of Concubine Rong's temporary jealousy, the queen's eyes were cold.
Just when the queen's thoughts were churning, she heard Concubine Rong ask: "Your Majesty, this Concubine Zhao refuses to show her true face, how can the concubine and the queen know her ......?"
The following words, Concubine Rong did not say.
However, the emperor and the queen also understood.
Concubine Rong meant to ask the emperor what to do now.
Indeed, Concubine Zhao covered her head with a quilt, and no one could see what she looked like now.
can't see the true face clearly, how can you determine whether what Emperor Hui said is true?
When Emperor Hui heard Concubine Rong's words, he waved his hand to one of the guards holding Concubine Zhao and motioned for him to take off the quilt on Concubine Rong's head.
The guards got Emperor Hui's orders, so they naturally didn't dare to hesitate and slacken, although they still had lingering palpitations, they still reached out and took off part of the quilt that Concubine Zhao covered her head.
Just picking this one off is enough for others to see what the person under the quilt looks like.
The queen and Concubine Rong probably didn't expect the vision to be so terrifying, and they both gasped, and the palace maids behind them screamed in fright.
When the queen and Concubine Rong heard the maid's call, they turned around and glared fiercely at the person who spoke up.
The two of them have been in high positions for a long time, and they all have their own set of controls, and when the maid saw her two of them looking at her like this, she was so frightened that she was silent, and she didn't dare to make any more superfluous sounds.
The queen and Concubine Rong turned their heads again and looked at Concubine Zhao.
At the moment of turning their heads, the eyes of the two briefly met in the air for a moment, but then, they staggered away again, and they only stared at Concubine Zhao.
The person not far from them was not so much Concubine Zhao as the monster in Emperor Hui's mouth.
The queen felt a chill in her heart, she knew that Concubine Rong was ruthless and did such a thing, but when she saw with her own eyes that a good and decent person had become the blurred flesh and blood she is now, the queen still felt a chill on her back for a while.
In addition to being frightened, the queen couldn't help but think, where did Concubine Rong get this medicine?
The queen always felt that Concubine Rong should have a backhand, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to choose this sensitive time to complain to the emperor.
Since she dared to sue, it means that she has already thought of a countermeasure and can get herself out of this matter cleanly.
But the queen has been paying close attention to Concubine Rong's movements these days, and she hasn't seen her do anything else except see her ordering someone to give Concubine Zhao medicine?
