Chapter 216: Involving Cheng Shuiyao
"Again, who went to you?" The emperor couldn't believe his ears, and instead continued to look at Jiang Qingqing, trying to hear something different from his mouth.
But it backfired.
Jiang Qingqing once again said those three words clearly, his expression was very serious, and it didn't look like nonsense at all.
"What are you calling her for?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was wrong.
"This ......" Jiang Qingqing hesitated, not knowing whether he should say this matter or not.
"That's it, you don't have to say it now, come on, go and find the general's wife for me, I want to listen to her herself."
The emperor suddenly changed his mind and looked up at Gonggong Chen.
"Yes!" Gonggong Chen didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly informed.
In the General's Mansion, Cheng Shuiyao is slowly watering the flowers she raises.
It's just that before her kettle was stable, she suddenly saw Xiaoyun running in panting.
"Did something happen, why are you in such a hurry?" Cheng Shuiyao had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly calmed Xiaoyun down and told the matter well.
"It's a big deal, madam, Gonggong Chen came to the door with someone, and asked Mrs. by name to go to the palace, the general won't stop it," Xiaoyun finally calmed down and looked at Cheng Shuiyao eagerly.
Grandpa Chen?
Cheng Shuiyao squinted, and couldn't figure out why the emperor was looking for him for a while.
But since you are in such a hurry, it should be urgent.
Cheng Shuiyao glanced down at the clothes on her body, and saw that her clothes were quite stable, so she ran out directly.
After entering the front hall, Cheng Shuiyao found that Xiao Ji was also there.
"Since Madame is here, let's hurry up and go with our family, the emperor is still waiting in the palace, our family can't afford it," Gonggong Chen saw Cheng Shuiyao, and left his position in an instant, leaving with someone without thinking.
Cheng Shuiyao frowned and looked at Xiao Ji, trying to get some useful information from him.
But Xiao Ji shook his head at her, making it clear that he didn't know the cause and effect of this incident at all.
The incident happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to investigate, so he wanted to judge the situation by using Chen's father-in-law's tone, but Chen's father-in-law didn't accept his trick at all, and he closed his mouth and called it strict.
At the moment, there is only one way to see the move.
Cheng Shuiyao's heart was a little heavy, but she didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly entered the palace.
As soon as he entered the emperor's palace, Cheng Shuiyao saw an unexpected person.
Jiang Qingqing? How did she end up here?
Cheng Shuiyao subconsciously thought that something had happened before, and her heart became heavier and heavier.
"The courtiers have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Saluting respectfully, Cheng Shuiyao didn't dare to exceed the rules at all, and never got up without waiting for the emperor's order.
The emperor seemed to want to dry her, and he didn't see him say flat for a long time.
Cheng Shuiyao calmed down instead, kneeling quietly, waiting for the emperor to speak.
After about a pillar of incense, the emperor finally let her get up.
Cheng Shuiyao got up softly and looked directly at the emperor without hesitation, without the slightest dodge in his eyes.
"Do you know why I called you here today?"
The emperor lied to her first as always, but the incident happened suddenly, and Cheng Shuiyao couldn't have known it in advance.
Shaking her head seriously, Cheng Shuiyao slowly spoke, "The courtiers don't know, please ask the emperor to make it clear." ”
When she said this, Cheng Shuiyao's eyes didn't wander at all, and she looked at the emperor so fixedly, and she didn't see any weakness at all.
The emperor had a speculation in his heart, but he still spoke officially, "On the day of the banquet of the noble concubine, where have you been in the palace?" ”
"Back to the emperor, except for the bedroom and the imperial garden of this noble concubine, the courtiers went to ...... that day" Cheng Shuiyao said as she turned her gaze to Jiang Qingqing's side, the meaning was self-evident.
This is consistent with what Jiang Qingqing said.
Gonggong Chen nodded secretly and breathed a sigh of relief
"So what are you going to do?" The Emperor did not stop there, but continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if the emperor knows that I know my mother's family? My mother's family is the Jiangnan Jiang family, and this is my mother's eldest sister, that is, my aunt. Cheng Shuiyao asked and answered herself, her words were very rigorous, but she was generous, and there was no panic in her expression.
So there is still this relationship?
The emperor frowned, and almost remembered.
He knows that Cheng Yutang's current wife is not a wife, so what Cheng Shuiyao said is true.
But...... Obviously, there are doubts about this matter.
The emperor continued to look at Cheng Shuiyao and spoke, "So what? ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingqing and Cheng Shuiyao both sweated.
Although the previous incident was a miscalculation, there is no clear evidence to prove that suddenly telling the emperor at this moment will not only not wash away Jiang Qingqing's grievances, but may even cause the emperor's anger.
Thinking like this, Cheng Shuiyao blinked, still looking calm and relaxed, and spoke unhurriedly, "My mother once left a suicide note for me, asking me to fulfill my last wish for her and come to see my aunt. ”
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, so he could only continue to look at her.
"Of course, it is the courtier's to break into the palace without permission, please forgive the emperor!" Cheng Shuiyao knelt down while confessing, and lowered her attitude very low.
Cheng Shuiyao came like this, but the emperor was not angry with her.
This girl is also a little clever.
Jiang Qingqing looked at Cheng Shuiyao, and inexplicably saw the figure of her own sister on her, and she was very relieved.
If Jiang Yanyan had a spirit in the sky, I am afraid she would be very happy to have such a smart and clever daughter!
"This is human nature, I will not condemn you, you get up!"
The emperor didn't have the spare time to hold on to these small sins, but slowly said with a serious expression, "The prince found something in your aunt's palace, what do you think about this matter?" ”
This......
Cheng Shuiyao pursed her lips, not knowing what the emperor meant at all.
She didn't know anything about this matter, the emperor suddenly gave such a sentence, how could she analyze it?
Turning his head to look at the father-in-law who was still kneeling on the side, Cheng Shuiyao raised his eyebrows and said softly, "It's not this father-in-law who is ......."
The prince looked up and saw that it was Cheng Shuiyao who asked, and looked at the emperor with some confusion, not knowing whether he should answer or not.
"Answer the general's wife's question," Gonggong Chen glanced at the emperor and hurriedly gave him a look.
