Chapter 57: Dong Guifei's crying grabbed the ground
As soon as His Majesty brought Su Yiting and the disheveled Concubine Rui back to the imperial study in the palace, Concubine Dong Guifei rushed all the way.
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"
People hear it before they hear it.
Before Dong Guifei appeared, Concubine Jiang heard Dong Guifei shouting at the top of her throat.
She was very disdainful of Dong Guifei in her heart, in order to prevent Dong Guifei from ruining her good deeds today, Concubine Jiang directly stopped Dong Guifei who was walking all the way to the door.
"Sister Dong Guifei, earlier today, my sister was still unwell and said that she wanted to go back to her palace to rest, why did she get up from the bed and come to His Majesty's imperial study now?".
Concubine Jiang didn't stop Dong Guifei, but also reprimanded the palace maids who followed behind her.
"How do you all serve your master? Sister Guifei is unwell, you don't go to ask the imperial doctor to treat your sister, but you want your sister to drag her sick body here to run?"
"Come on, drag this group of useless palace people out of the palace and punish them for twenty!"
Concubine Jiang gave orders, and in the end it was Dong Guifei's people who were going to fight, as soon as Dong Guifei saw Concubine Jiang behaving like this, how could she be willing to give up?
"Concubine Jiang, it depends on the owner to beat the dog! This palace is now standing in front of you, and you are going to dispose of the people in my palace with one mouth! Concubine Jiang, have you forgotten that this palace is the concubine!"
Concubine Dong Guifei directly pushed away Concubine Jiang who was blocking her way, and then rushed to His Majesty with the people in her palace.
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged! You have to be the master of the concubine and the child Su Yiting!"
Dong Guifei suddenly heard that her son and Rui Guiren were messing with the palace on the painting boat, and she didn't even have time to dress up, so she came to the imperial study in plain clothes to intercede for her son.
On weekdays, Concubine Dong Guifei wears heavy makeup and is graceful and luxurious, and in the concubines in the palace, she is like a peony with a fragrant national color and a graceful and dignified state.
But now that I came in a hurry, this pink delicacy was not wiped and the brocade clothes were not worn, but this plain face made the angry majesty in the palace see a little pity.
"Someone, give a seat to the concubine."
"Since you're not in good health, why don't you rest in the palace? It's cool on the autumn night, and you're dressed so thinly, what if you get sick again?"
His Majesty's words of concern, listening to Concubine Jiang's mother, were like a fish in her throat.
Last moment on the painting boat, His Majesty personally gave her a peony lantern, and now, when His Majesty saw this beautiful Concubine Dong, he forgot about her, Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang also admitted that Concubine Dong Guifei did have a bit of a good look, and she was quite good at taking care of her body.
Concubine Jiang obviously entered the palace later than Concubine Dong, and she was younger than Concubine Dong, but Concubine Dong stood with her, but others couldn't know which of them was older and who was younger just from their faces......
Things in this world are really unfair.
She and Concubine Dong Guifei also gave birth to a prince for His Majesty, and now, her son Su Chen'an is as good and excellent as Shu Yiting, but because of Dong Guifei's favored mother, her son Su Chen'an will always be pressed by Su Yiting!
Why?
Why do this to her?
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with these two?"
Concubine Jiang saw that His Majesty had compassion for Concubine Dong Guifei, and hurriedly diverted the topic, if His Majesty's compassion for Concubine Dong was allowed to overflow, maybe Su Yiting would be acquitted at that time!
"The matter between Rui Guiren and Shu Yiting is really bad, today is the Begging Festival, and the families of those officials who were on the painting boat just now have seen it."
"Your Majesty, if this matter is not severely punished, how should those relatives outside who know about this matter view the majesty of my royal family? How can we honor Your Majesty's prestige?"
Concubine Jiang no longer hid it, and spoke directly to His Majesty.
If today's matter is her subtle admonition here, if Concubine Dong Guifei blows the pillow wind in His Majesty's ear, then His Royal Highness Su Yiting will really have to escape this catastrophe!
"Your Majesty, the royal family
will be looked up to and respected by the people of the world, because the people in the royal family are all of noble birth, if the people of the world find out that the people of the noble royal family are also sitting in such a filthy harem, then the dignity of my royal family will be swept away!"
"What Concubine Jiang said is extremely ......"
After His Majesty heard Concubine Jiang's words, he muttered for a moment and echoed the exit.
"If the face of my royal family is lost, the people of this world will see the royal family as a worthless joke!"
"The two of you are in this imperial study today, and you have made it all clear! If there is anything to hide, then you will find out, and you should be careful of your skin!"
The emperor was furious and ambushed millions of corpses.
Although Rui Guiren was a little clever, she couldn't help but tremble when she encountered His Majesty's anger.
As soon as Rui Guiren trembled like this, he forgot to distinguish for himself, and Su Yiting on the side clenched his fists, restrained the fear of his father in his heart, and pretended to be calm and defended.
"Father, today's matter, the son was really framed! I am willing to tell my father all the causes and consequences of the incident, and ask my father to make decisions for his sons!"
"Erchen went to the palace banquet of the Qiqiao Festival with his mother today, and soon after the mother was unwell, she left Erchen alone to chat with the families of palace officials at the Qiqiao Festival."
"But Erchen is worried about his mother who is unwell, but he can't just leave a guest, that will ruin his mother's mind Zhang Luo's begging palace banquet, so in the end, Erchen stayed."
"Erchen has always been incompatible with the cheerful atmosphere of the palace banquet, so Erchen found a clean place to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but Erchen's alcohol is not good, and Erchen is still thinking about his mother, so he has a slightly drunk feeling after drinking, and then Erchen is also a little tired, so he is ready to find a bed on the painting boat to lie down and rest."
"When Erchen was drunk and slightly drunk, he groped little by little, because it was dark, and Erchen searched for a long time to find a bed where he could rest temporarily."
"When Erchen was about to take off his coat, he found someone on the bed, Erchen's head was stunned all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but surprise the woman on the bed, so he hurriedly ran out, but Erchen was already drunk, and this walk was very unsmooth, so he fell a lot, so when my father saw me, Erchen was so embarrassed!"
Su Yiting picked himself out of this filthy harem matter.
Don't let the slightest trouble get on him.
"Your Highness, you said that you were drinking alone at the painting boat and then got drunk, don't you think this matter is ridiculous? Your Royal Highness, you are a famous thousand cups in my royal family, and you are not drunk! In the past, when the royal family celebrated the New Year's banquet, you drank so much wine with Your Majesty and couldn't keep your mouth shut, why did you drink alone today, but you got yourself drunk?"
Concubine Jiang asked aggressively.
"This ...... This is because Erchen was worried about his mother's body at that time! When you get drunk, you get drunk faster!"
Su Yiting didn't expect Concubine Jiang to bite him tightly, and she could only rack her brains to tell the lies that Yuan herself told.
"Oh? Your Royal Highness, you are really very filial to your sister concubine!"
"Even if your argument barely makes sense, then the palace wants to know that you are a dignified prince who is drunk, why don't you have the palace people who are waiting for you?"
"Your Royal Highness, the prince must always be accompanied by at least one attendant, a palace person, when you are drunk and need to rest, but you are looking for a room on the painting boat by yourself?"
"What about the palace people who were in charge of serving you at that time? Even if the palace people are not here, why did your highness and your attendants leave you?"
After Concubine Jiang quibbled with Su Yiting, she asked another fatal question.
The story that Su Yiting made up temporarily is naturally impossible to complete everywhere, as long as people with a heart want to find it, they will definitely be able to find loopholes in it.
"Your Highness, could it be that you deliberately split your close attendants and palace people just to have an affair with the Rui nobles?"
Concubine Jiang saw that Su Yiting's face was pale, and her heart was dark.
After so many years, she finally won in front of Dong Guifei's mother and son!
「……」
Of course, it is impossible to explain it.
At that time, he asked the palace people who followed him to go and set Xi Qingyan and lead Xi Qingyan to take the bait, and Qingchuan, a close servant who had been following him, also left with knowledge and interest when he was messing with women!
"It's not good for slaves! The slave maid is the palace person who follows His Royal Highness Shu Yiting! At that time, the palace banquet was too busy, and the slave maid went to the palace banquet to help on her own initiative, so that when His Royal Highness Su Yiting needed someone to take care of him, the slave and maid were not by his side!"
"The slave maid was confused for a while, and she did bad things with good intentions, so that His Royal Highness Shu Yiting was wronged, all of this is the slave's fault!"
When Su Yiting didn't know how to explain, the palace people who were waiting for him came out directly to confess.
She knows that her little life is very cheap, if she can't save His Royal Highness Shu Yiting today, then her whole family's lives will not be saved!
Now, as long as she stands up and takes all the blame, then her whole family can live in peace.
"What a faithful servant!"
Concubine Jiang didn't expect that the slave maid beside Su Yiting would suddenly speak like this.
"Come on, drag this slave and Gu down and kill them with a rod! Because of her mistake alone, it has led to such serious consequences, even if she loses this little life, she can't make up for the face of my royal family!"
His Majesty's anger was all sent out towards this little palace maid who stood up and confessed.
Only then did the little palace maid know what fate she was about to face.
"Save me! Save me!"
The little palace maid was originally the person selected by Dong Guifei for her son Su Yiting, so when the little palace maid saw that she was about to die, she didn't care about anything else, she only knew to call for help to Dong Guifei!
"Pull it down! Pull it down! It would be a waste of food to keep such useless slaves and maids!"
Su Guifei was worried that this little palace maid would say something terrible without holding back, so she hurriedly asked the guards to drag the little palace maid down.
At first, the screams of the little palace maid could still be heard in the imperial study, but gradually the screams disappeared......
"The palace people don't serve by His Royal Highness Shu Yiting's side, so what about the attendants around His Highness? Could it be that the attendant suddenly wanted to go to the palace banquet to help at this time?"
Concubine Jiang sarcastically said to Concubine Dong Guifei and Shu Yiting in front of her.
"The attendant needs to be by his master's side at all times, this is his mission, if he is not there at the critical moment, what is the attendant called?"
"Chuan Yi Ting's close attendant!"
After His Majesty heard Concubine Jiang's words, he spoke outside.
Qingchuan has been waiting outside, so the eunuch in the imperial study directly brought people to His Majesty.
"Lone remembers you, your name is Qingchuan, and you are a good guard, Lone asks you where your close attendant was when His Royal Highness Su Yiting was drunk? Why didn't you stay by your master's side?"
