Chapter 314: The Sin of Bullying
Mrs. Chu's knees were weak, her expression was sluggish, the female doctor's play was from Xue Hainiang's handwriting, so it is not difficult to imagine that Mrs. Ling should have colluded with Xue Hainiang a long time ago, even so, how could she dare to expect Xue Hainiang to seek 'justice' for her?
But now, among the ladies of the back house, except for Mrs. Liu, who holds the power, she really can't think of anyone else who can compete with Xue Hainiang.
As for the people who are usually good friends with her......
Her eyes were faint and dim as if they had revived, and she raised her eyes slightly, and moved her gaze to Mrs. Meng, who was still silently on the side, hoping that her best friend, who had been a good friend, could say a word for her at this moment.
But in fact, at such a juncture, not to mention that no one dares to believe that there is a child in her womb, even if it really exists, now that Mrs. Liu has not spoken, who would dare to go against the side concubine?
Mrs. Ling's heart was like ashes, and she no longer showed any struggle.
Now is the turn of Xue Hainiang to enforce the law impartially.
Xue Hainiang instructed the guards guarding outside the pavilion: "Come on." The guards entered in response to the call, stood in a row and walked to Xue Hainiang and knelt down, "The subordinates knocked on the side concubine Niangniang, and I have seen Mrs. Liu and all the ladies,"
Obviously, Xue Hainiang is placed on the same level as Mrs. Liu. It is conceivable that Mrs. Liu's status in the mansion is indeed transcendent.
Xue Hainiang no longer cares about such details, she knows very well that now that she has just arrived, the reason why everyone in the mansion is willing to listen to her orders is because she is a side concubine, and what she needs to do now is to seize this opportunity to stand up.
Xue Hainiang looked at the head of the guards and said: "Mrs. Chu lied that she was pregnant with His Royal Highness's heir, and now His Royal Highness is not in the mansion, everything in the mansion should be decided by the concubine herself......" She glanced at the silent Mrs. Liu with a smile, and then said: "And Mrs. Liu has no opinion, then, this concubine orders you to wait for the Chu family to be escorted down and grounded temporarily, and then it will be disposed of by His Royal Highness after His Royal Highness returns to the mansion." ”
The guards were also stunned, as if they were puzzled and shocked by Mrs. Chu's audacity.
How bold it is to lie that the little prince is pregnant with the prince, and now the news has reached the palace and the ears of the emperor and the queen mother...... This matter can already be called a deception.
If it hadn't reached the ears of the emperor and the queen mother, perhaps His Royal Highness King Qinghui would have been able to leave the palace for other reasons because of Mrs. Chu's dedication to serving her in the past, and it would be better than now, reporting the fact to the palace, and then putting Mrs. Chu to death for the crime of bullying the king.
But even if the leader of the guards is suspicious, no matter how incomprehensible he is, now that Xue Hainiang personally ordered it, he has to obey it.
The leader of the guards made a gesture to the subordinates behind him, indicating that they could step forward and escort Mrs. Chu down.
After taking Mrs. Chu away, Xue Hainiang Fu evoked a shallow but treacherous smile again, she looked at Mrs. Ling, and ordered: "Take Mrs. Ling down, so that she can take care of it." ”
Although the ban is not explicitly issued, it is not much different from the ban. The former is that the person under care is not allowed to step out of the courtyard at will, but outsiders are allowed to visit, and the maid is also allowed to go out to deliver meals, while the grounding is not allowed to go up to the master and down to the slave in the courtyard are not allowed to step out of the door half a step, and even the visitor is not allowed to enter.
Madam Ling breathed a sigh of relief, obviously had no objection to such an arrangement, when the guards came up and tried to take her down, Madame Ling raised her head proudly, her clear and bewitching face was full of disgust that was almost desecrated, and even the guards subconsciously frowned, and it was no wonder that everyone in the mansion did not like Mrs. Ling as a person, and sometimes, her temperament was indeed disgusting.
Mrs. Ling looked at Xue Hainiang solemnly, her knees were slightly bent until she completely touched the ground, she saluted Xue Hainiang, and she didn't know whether it was goodbye or what she meant, "The concubine thanked the side concubine Niangniang for rehabilitating the concubine." ”
If it weren't for Xue Hainiang's willingness to believe her words, her willingness to delay the hour for her, and her willingness to invite the female doctor for her, she would have been taken down and grounded now, and it was even her who was waiting to be disposed of, not the Chu family.
Xue Hainiang didn't care, and smiled: "It should be this concubine who thanks you, the Chu family deceived the upper and lower levels, and was guilty of bullying the king, and even might do something to confuse the royal bloodline in the future, but fortunately, you made such a witty decision today to avoid a farce in the future." ”
Otherwise, the charge of confusing the royal family will not only be settled by the punishment of the Chu family alone, at that time, I am afraid that it will affect the Qinghui Palace, and even make the entire royal family a laughing stock.
This farce was subsided after Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Chu were taken down, Xue Hainiang covered her lips a little tiredly and yawned, and smiled at Mrs. Liu: "It's not too early for this concubine to look at the hour," said Dao looked at the people at the banquet, who had different thoughts, and smiled a little meaningfully, "I don't know if you all feel a little tired......
Her tiredness was already palpable, and there was no one who didn't have the ability to refute it in public.
Meng Shi was the first to speak: "The concubine body is also feeling tired, and this matter is very complicated today. She sighed, as if she was sighing and regretful, "I don't know how Sister Chu could do such a thing, she lied that she was pregnant with the prince's heir, this is the crime of bullying the king." ”
At the beginning of her, everyone at the table couldn't help but echo: "That's right." Mrs. Chu is really ridiculous this time, this woman is pregnant for ten months, and all the truth will not be able to stop when the fetus falls to the ground, even if she can hide it for a while, she will not be able to cover it for a lifetime. ”
Mrs. Liu shifted her gaze to the trembling palace doctor, and smiled: "I don't know what the concubine plans to do with this slave who eats inside and out——"
It can indeed be called eating inside and out, colluding with Mrs. Chu to deceive King Qinghui and the side concubine, such a big crime, if you want to come and not die, he can't stay in this palace.
Xue Hainiang said with a smile: "It really should be dealt with well." ”
A clear and cold voice overflowed from his thin lips, but his words made everyone stunned, "Come on, the house doctor is so clever and intelligent." actually came up with such a way to help Mrs. Chu, how could such an act not be announced to the public. ”
Xue Hainiang's appearance of smiling and not smiling made the house doctor panic, he thought that this concubine was just a soft-footed shrimp, not to be afraid, but he never thought that the other party had such courage and foresight, he knelt down and kowtowed again and again, "The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates know that they should not be in the same stream with Mrs. Chu, and they all blame their subordinates for being confused for a while, so they should answer Mrs. Chu's ......."
Xue Hainiang didn't believe what he was saying now.
Not to mention, she was deeply puzzled by this in the first place.
