Chapter 248: Derelict Father
Song Yi stood behind Ah Yao and respectfully bowed his hand to Ah Yao, "It's too late for the subordinates, so the girl is frightened." ”
"It's okay, there's a Rauson guard."
Concubine Xiao looked at Song Yi suspiciously, and said, "This is your guard?" ”
"Last time, Concubine Xiao's people easily broke into Su Mansion and kidnapped Begonia, so I hired a guard, and the kung fu is not bad, right?"
Concubine Xiao clenched her fists tightly, so angry that the green tendons on the back of her hands burst out.
Glancing at the guards who were beaten all over the ground by Song Yi, Ah Yao asked with a smile, "Does Concubine Xiao still want to enter the mansion?" ”
Concubine Xiao gritted her teeth and glared at Ah Yao, and warned viciously: "You wait for me, this matter is not over." ”
As soon as the words fell, Concubine Xiao left the Su Mansion with her own people.
Seeing Concubine Xiao and the others walk away, Song Yi lowered her voice and asked, "Concubine Xiao will definitely not give up, you have to be careful." ”
"Whatever she does, just let the horses come!"
She turned to look at the people in the house, "Everyone has worked hard, let's go back and rest!" Tomorrow I will be busy with the aftermath of Begonia. ”
"Yes."
"Steward Chen, wait a minute." Ah Yao called out to Steward Chen.
Steward Chen stopped and looked back at her respectfully.
"What else does the girl command?"
Ah Yao approached Steward Chen and instructed softly: "I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and the future affairs of Begonia will be handed over to you to be in charge, and you must not be wronged Begonia." ”
"I understand."
"When you are done with the funeral of Begonia, you will send two taels of silver to the people in the house, and then take a holiday, so that everyone can have a good rest."
Steward Chen arched his hand and said, "I'll thank you for everyone first." ”
"Go down and rest!"
"Yes."
After Steward Chen left, Ah Yao looked back at Song Yi again, "You can also go back and rest!" ”
"Hmm."
After Song Yi left, A-Yao also went back to her room.
The next morning, the palace was crowded.
The person who came was Feng Hai, the great eunuch next to the emperor, and when Feng Hai saw A-Yao, he immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"The slave has seen Miss A-Yao."
Feng Hai is a person close to the emperor, so he naturally knows Ah Yao's identity very well, and his attitude towards Ah Yao is respectful, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Father-in-law Feng is early."
Seeing that Ah Yao was still calm and relaxed, as if nothing had happened, Feng Hai approached with a sad face.
"Something is wrong."
"Father-in-law Feng, don't worry, speak slowly."
Feng Hai took a breath and said, "Early this morning, the old slave found Concubine Xiao kneeling outside the emperor's bedroom, and when he stepped forward to inquire, he learned that Concubine Xiao had been kneeling outside the door all night.
Concubine Xiao sued the girl in front of the emperor, set the slave to kill Xiao Mu, and cried to ask the emperor to give an explanation, and the emperor asked the old slave to come to announce the girl's entry into the palace. ”
"I see."
Seeing that A-Yao looked calm and did not have a trace of panic on her face, Feng Hai's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Girl, what the hell is going on? Who killed Xiao Mu? Do you have a plan for coping? Feng Hai asked with concern.
"It's complicated, I'll explain it to the emperor in person!"
Feng Hai stopped her and reminded in a low voice: "Concubine Xiao is determined to ask for justice this time, if the girl can't cope with it, apologize, and the emperor will find a way to protect you." ”
"There is a message from Lao Gonggong, I understand."
Feng Hai is the emperor's person, and his words are the emperor's meaning.
She didn't do anything wrong, and it was impossible to apologize.
"Shall we go, then?" Feng Hai asked.
"Hmm."
As soon as A-Yao got into Feng Hai's carriage, Song Yi chased him out.
After seeing Ah Yao's carriage go away, Song Yi trotted back to Rong Qianhan's courtyard.
"Lord Wang, A-Yao has entered the palace."
"Hmm." Rong Qianhan twisted his eyebrows and thought.
"What do we do?"
"Keep up."
Song Yi opened his eyes, "We also want to enter the palace?" ”
"Go to the gate of the palace to pick up A-Yao."
"Okay, my subordinates will go and prepare the carriage."
……
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
As soon as A-Yao stepped on the threshold of the imperial study, she heard a familiar cry.
If it's not Concubine Xiao, who else can it be?
Concubine Xiao cried and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubines lost two relatives overnight, and the concubines really can't swallow this breath, so I beg the emperor to make the decisions for the concubines!" ”
"Okay, stop crying." The emperor persuaded.
"The concubine knows that you have always felt indebted to Ah Yao, but Ah Yao didn't grow up in front of you after all, and it is inevitable that you will do something wrong, so you can't favor her anymore."
"You get up first." The emperor was a little impatient.
"Ask the emperor to see that the concubines have been taking care of the harem for many years, and they must be the masters of the concubines."
The emperor sighed faintly, "I know, you get up first." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as Concubine Xiao got up, she saw Feng Hai come in with Ah Yao.
The moment the eyes of the two touched together, Ah Yao obviously saw a trace of resentment in Concubine Xiao's eyes.
Ah Yao glanced at her lightly and came straight to the emperor.
"See the Emperor."
The emperor waved his hand, "Get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xiao on the side with his spare eyes, "Why did Xiao Mu die?" ”
"Blame yourself for your own death."
“……”
There was a touch of embarrassment on the emperor's top, and he couldn't ask this question anymore.
Feng Hai leaned closer to Ah Yao and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, don't forget the old slave's previous words." ”
"Thank you father-in-law for the reminder, I say everything from the bottom of my heart."
The emperor and Feng Hai glanced at each other, Feng Hai couldn't say anything more, so he could only retreat to the emperor's side.
Concubine Xiao knelt at the emperor's feet again, crying bitterly about A-Yao's arrogance.
"Ask the emperor to learn from it, the concubine is true, I don't know what heinous crime Xiao Mu has committed, it is worth Ayao to connive at the maid in the mansion, sneak into the Xiao Mansion in the middle of the night and kill Xiao Mu."
Ah Yao turned to look at Concubine Xiao coldly, "What Xiao Mu did, Concubine Xiao should know best." ”
"I don't know." Concubine Xiao didn't even look at her.
"I didn't condone Haitang to sneak into Xiao Mansion to kill Xiao Mu, it was Xiao Mu who bullied Haitang again and again, so he brought himself to death, and his death is not anyone's complaint."
"You ......"
glared at Ah Yao, Concubine Xiao cried bitterly to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, Ah Yao kept saying that Xiao Mu bullied Begonia again and again, does she have any evidence?" ”
"You know that Begonia is dead, and I have no evidence, so that's why you ask like this, right?" Ah Yao asked rhetorically.
Concubine Xiao ignored her and continued to say to the emperor: "I ask the emperor to make decisions for the concubines." ”
"You ......"
The emperor's gaze wandered over the two of them, and finally fell on Ah Yao.
He sighed lightly and said, "Ah Yao, you come out with me first, I have a few words I want to say to you alone." ”
"If the emperor has anything to say, just say it here! I'm afraid that Concubine Xiao will be too careful. Yao said.
The emperor looked at Concubine Xiao, "Will Concubine Xiao be too careful?" ”
"Concubines won't."
Quite generous!
"Let's go!"
The emperor took A-Yao out of the imperial study and stood outside the door.
Seeing that Ah Yao didn't speak, the emperor shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You, you!" Why can't you learn to bow your head, and your temperament is more stubborn than your mother. ”
"It's not that I won't bow my head, it's that someone taught me not to bow my head."
Rong Qianhan told her that if it wasn't her fault, don't take it on herself.
Once upon a time, she was just a lowly servant girl with some scruples.
But now, she is a princess with a noble status, and she doesn't need to worry about anything.
It's not my own fault, and I can't take it from myself.
Seeing her so stubborn, the emperor still couldn't bear to reprimand her, "Tell me what's going on?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, here's how it ......"
Ah Yao told the emperor about Xiao Mu's bullying of Begonia from beginning to end, and did not let go of even the subtle details.
After listening to this, the emperor's expression was a little complicated.
After thinking for a long time, the emperor spoke, "Now that Xiao Mu and Begonia are dead, the people who bullied Begonia have also been killed by you, and all of them are dead without proof."
However, Haitang broke into Xiao Mansion and killed Xiao Mansion, everyone knows it, and this matter is not easy to do. ”
"Haitang is not guilty, I will never let Concubine Xiao reverse black and white."
The emperor approached A-Yao and said softly: "Now that Concubine Xiao is holding the handle, there is nothing on your side, which is not very beneficial to you." ”
"I can find evidence."
The emperor shook his head, "How long will it take for you to find evidence?" ”
"Give me a day, and I'll find the evidence."
"Concubine Xiao won't give you a day." The emperor said.
"Then I'm ......"
Before A-Yao's words were finished, a forbidden soldier ran straight over.
"Emperor Qiqi, there is a man who claims to be Miss Ayao's guard, and he asks to see him at the gate of the palace."
Bodyguard?
Could it be Song Yi?
"What does that guy look like?" Ah Yao hurriedly asked.
The forbidden army described the man's appearance, which was not much different from Song Yi.
Ah Yao is sure that it is Song Yi.
"That man is indeed my bodyguard." Ah Yao said to the emperor.
"Then let him in!"
The emperor always takes special care of Ah Yao, if it is someone else, the emperor will not take care of any guards.
After a stick of incense, Song Yi came to the emperor and A-Yao.
"Subordinates see the emperor."
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at Song Yi, "You're not from Southern Xinjiang?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, your subordinates are from Dongli." Song Yi said truthfully.
"Dongli people?"
Ah Yao hurriedly explained: "I am under his care in Dongli, so that I can turn evil into good fortune and survive until now." ”
"Then I should reward you well."
"As a guard, the subordinates should protect Miss A-Yao, and they don't dare to ask for any rewards."
"What did you do when you entered the palace this time?" The emperor asked.
"His subordinates have evidence to prove that Xiao Mu has bullied Begonia several times, and he also sent someone to set fire to Su Ji, almost killing Miss Ayao and a few guys in the store."
"Xiao Mu set fire to Su Ji, when did this happen?" The emperor did not know anything about this matter.
"It's been happening for several days, and I was afraid that the emperor would worry about me, so I kept it a secret from the emperor." Yao explained.
"How dare you hide such a big thing from me?"
The emperor was a little angry, and he regretted letting Ah Yao live outside the palace.
He has already lost Soho, if A-Yao goes wrong again, how can he explain to Soho?
The emperor had a gloomy face and asked, "No one in the palace knows about this?" ”
"They all know it." Ah Yao said truthfully.
"Everyone in the palace knows about this, but I don't know about it?"
Ah Yao nodded weakly.
The emperor was even more angry.
The daughter had an accident, and everyone hid it from him as a father.
He was too derelict as a father.
Seeing that the emperor was annoyed, A-Yao cautiously approached and shouted, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
"Come in with me."
"Oh."
Ah Yao and Song Yi followed the emperor back to the imperial study.
