Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cunning from Fen
"Your Majesty, if the slave and maid tell a lie, they will definitely die of thunder and thunder!" As if he was afraid that Dong Qilin would not believe what he said, Qingwei swore to the sky, "Concubine Shu pushed the matter of the eldest princess falling into the water, Concubine Ning, Concubine Yi and Su Xiurong all saw it, what the slave said is true!" ”
Dong Qilin listened to Qingwei's narration, and the 'color' of his face was no longer enough to describe it as 'gloomy'.
"Concubine Ning, Concubine Yi, Su Xiurong, what did you see?" Dong Qilin began to ask Concubine Ning a few people.
"The concubine did see the lady concubine pushing the eldest princess." As for whether Concubine Xiao Shu pushed the eldest princess into the water, Concubine Ning did not say.
"The concubine has also seen it with her own eyes, the eldest princess is still so young, and the sister of the concubine is really good at it!" Concubine Yi seemed to be unbearable, and turned her face aside.
"The concubine did see that it was the lady concubine who pushed the eldest princess, and she did see the eldest princess falling into the water." Su Xiurong said the same rhetoric just now.
After listening to the words of several people, Dong Qilin snorted coldly, and just wanted to speak, but saw Zhihe come and say: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is awake, I have to see you......"
Dong Qilin heard that the eldest princess had woken up, and he didn't care about asking anything for the time being, so he walked in, and Li Ling and the others naturally followed one step behind.
"Father...... Di'er is so afraid that Di'er will never see her father again......" The eldest princess lay in Dong Qilin's arms and cried, "Father, the lake is so cold, Di'er is so scared......"
"It's alright, it's alright, Di'er." Dong Qilin is obviously not good at comforting people, and there are only three words "it's okay" when it comes to speaking.
"Father, Di'er feels so cold, is Di'er going to die?" The eldest princess looked at Dong Qilin with wet eyes, and her whole body was trembling.
Seeing this, Dong Qilin had to hold the quilt tightly for the eldest princess, and then he didn't know what to say, so he had to look at the pear as if asking for help.
Li Ling ignored Dong Qilin's request for help, but still stepped forward, 'touched' the eldest princess's head, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, eldest princess, your father is here, it's okay, I heard that you fell into the water, your father is in a hurry, no, I know that you will be afraid, so I hurried to see you, don't be afraid." ”
Xu is pear ling's comfort worked, maybe for some other reason, the eldest princess stopped her tears, and said to Dongqilin: "Di'er is not afraid, father, Xiao Mother Concubine did not deliberately push Di'er into the water, it was because Di'er was unwilling to kowtow to Xiao Mother Concubine, Xiao Mother Concubine was so angry, so she pushed Di'er into Xiting Lake, it was Di'er who was ignorant, and the father and emperor could not punish Xiao Mother Concubine." ”
As soon as these words came out, Dong Qilin was a little embarrassed, and several other people did have different looks, but they all sighed in their hearts, the eldest princess is only eleven years old this year, and she knows what it means to retreat as advance, even if the emperor originally did not plan to punish Concubine Xiao Shu, this time the eldest princess said this, it is estimated that she has to be punished, and she is worthy of being Concubine An's 'daughter'!
"Di'er can rest assured, and my father will call the shots for you!" Dong Qilin asked the eldest princess to lie down, and let Ri Ling stay to take care of the eldest princess, while he let the others follow him out of the house, apparently to deal with the matter.
Ri Ling didn't care what Dong Qilin did, and staying in the dormitory was exactly what she wanted.
"Celestial Princess, this is 800 injuries to the enemy and 1,000 self-losses, why bother?" Pear Ling sat on the side of the eldest princess's 'bed', and when she saw that the eldest princess was pretending to be asleep, she opened her mouth softly.
The eldest princess really didn't sleep, and when she heard Liling's words, she turned her head and glanced at Liling in amazement.
"Concubine Xiao Shu is the emperor's favorite concubine, the miscarriage of Concubine Yi that Concubine Xiao Shu harmed before was just a grounding, but now it is just pushing you into the water, you are fine now, how do you think the emperor will punish Concubine Xiao Shu? A month's lockdown? Ri Ling said at the end, sneering.
"Di'er didn't understand what Concubine Xi was talking about." Princess Celestia turned her head away and stopped looking at Pear.
"If you don't understand, you don't understand, this palace just wants to tell you that Concubine Xiao Shu is not so easy to deal with, otherwise, Sister An would not have folded in Concubine Xiao's hands." After speaking, Liling didn't want to say much, so she sat on the other side, picked up a book and read it quietly.
The eldest princess turned her head back and looked at the pear in a daze for a long time.
Until the eldest princess couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep groggy.
Seeing that the eldest princess was really asleep, Li Ling put down the book, walked to the eldest princess's bed, and looked at the eldest princess's ugly face because of falling into the water, and couldn't help sighing.
From the very beginning, she knew that this matter was a trap given by the eldest princess to Concubine Xiao Shu.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Concubine Xiao Shufei can't do this kind of thing that is held by someone, she wants to deal with the eldest princess, there are a thousand ways to fight without blood, why push the eldest princess into the water in broad daylight, and provoke a bloody tongue?
Last year, the eldest princess once provoked Concubine Xiao Shu in front of the pear girl, and was blocked back by the pear lady's four or two thousand pounds, at that time, the pear girl thought that the eldest princess would definitely find Xiao Shufei unhappy, who knew that more than half a year had passed, and the eldest princess was safe and secure, but she didn't want to, the eldest princess thought about it for so long, but she came up with such a way that outweighed the loss.
It depends on what the emperor will do with Concubine Xiao Shu......
Li Ling sighed secretly in her heart, I am afraid that the result will not be as the eldest princess wants, the eldest princess risked her life and framed Xiao Shufei, but the eldest princess is okay after all, Dong Qilin has always favored Xiao Shufei, and the eldest princess is afraid that she will be disappointed.
However, the eldest princess is still smart, she knows that Concubine Ning and others will be led to Xiting Lake as witnesses, Concubine Ning is the person in charge of the harem, she is fair, and she will tell the truth what she sees, and Concubine Yi and Concubine Xiao Shu are endless, Concubine Yi must be willing to testify for the eldest princess, as for Su Xiurong, maybe she followed Concubine Yi, by the way.
This also shows that Concubine An's power is indeed in the hands of the eldest princess, otherwise the eldest princess probably has no way to attract Concubine Ning and others to testify for herself.
has such scheming at a young age, is it really a motherless child who is in charge early?
Li Ling sighed slightly, in time, the eldest princess will inevitably be smarter and more scheming than An Guifei.
Fortunately, the eldest princess is eleven years old this year, and she will marry in a few years when she is in her fledgling, otherwise she will have to bother to guard against the eldest princess.
After all, the downfall of Concubine An was her handiwork.
When the dust settled, and the eldest princess was also sent back to Yongfu Palace, Ri Ling had time to listen to the reply invitations from Zhihe.
"Originally, the emperor wanted to belittle Concubine Xiao Shu as Concubine Xiao, but later there was a palace 'girl' of Concubine Xiao Shufei to report, saying that Concubine Xiao Shu was making trouble to become a monk, saying that Concubine Xiao felt that she was guilty, although she did not mean to push the eldest princess into the water, but after all, the eldest princess suffered a sin, only by becoming a monk and chanting in front of the Buddha day and night can the sins be alleviated, so as not to repay the Seven Princes in the future. Then the emperor went to the Hundred 'Flowers' Palace, and the slaves and maids did not know the specific situation, and finally Concubine Xiao Shu was grounded for a month as a punishment. Zhihe said that at the end, there was a disappointment in his tone that could not be concealed.
After listening to it, Li Ling was also a little disappointed, but she had a hunch before, Xiao Shufei was just grounded at most, but she didn't want to, Dong Qilin really had the idea of degrading Xiao Shufei, but unfortunately Xiao Shufei was too cunning, while using the monk to show that she knew her mistake, and at the same time mentioned the Seven Princes, so that Dong Qilin moved his heart of compassion and spared her!
"What are we sorry for, the person who should be disappointed the most is the eldest princess." Rika smiled shallowly.
