Chapter 544: Heavy punishment together
"Your Majesty, the concubine did not intend to hurt Xu Lingyi, if the concubine really had this intention, she would not immediately jump into the lake to rescue, but Lan Liangyuan, the concubine originally just reminded Xu Lingyi that the fetus is less than three months old, and it should be raised in the house and less out and about, but Lan Liangyuan opened her mouth and ridiculed the concubine for not giving birth, and also pointed fingers, now that I think about it, I am afraid that I am preparing to deliberately provoke the concubine, so as to plant the blame!"
Concubine Wan's mind had already cleared up at this time, and while she was arguing for herself, she also increased Lan Liangyuan's suspicion with one sentence.
But Lan Liangyuan is not a vegetarian either, so she immediately refuted.
"What the concubine said is true, Wan Concubine Niangniang did not give birth, didn't she? Xu Lingyi was depressed in her residence, in a bad mood, she specially asked the imperial doctor, and Mama Feng, who was sent by the queen mother to take care of the dragon fetus, finally put her mind at ease and went out to breathe, I persuaded her like that at the time, maybe it did make Concubine Wan Niangniang unhappy, but the original intention was to comfort Xu Lingyi, so that she could rest assured and relax her mood, how did it get to the mouth of Wan Concubine Niangniang, it was I maliciously provoked? ! ”
Speaking of this, Lan Liangyuan choked up with red eyes.
"Since the concubine entered the palace, Wan Concubine Niangniang didn't like concubines, I think it's because the concubine's father is the boss of Wan Niangniang's brother, and Wan Niangniang's position is higher than that of the concubine, so you want the concubine's family to prostrate at your feet? The concubine's father has come to his current official position, and he is also based on his real ability, why should he let it! ”
If the first words are all explanations, then the next words will directly intensify the contradictions.
In the past, the official positions of the two families alluded to the ambition of the concubines.
It has always been taboo to collude with the former dynasty and the harem, especially the concubines through grace to develop the power of their relatives, and it is just a matter of not breaking it, once it is broken, which monarch can endure it.
This is also why even if Fang Yu is so favored, he has never asked for a benefit for Liu Qin in front of Pei Yao, and will only help each other secretly, so that Liu Qin can work hard to seize the opportunity to move up.
And Concubine Wan here, although her brother Hu Daixu is indeed capable, but as Lan Liangyuan said, the Qiu family has today, and it is not a vain, if Hu Daixu can really be in charge, Pei Yao will only raise him one more level, but now there is none, which means that it is not yet hot.
If Concubine Wan humiliated Lan Liangyuan in the palace because of the affairs of the court outside, it would be dissatisfied with the employment of people in the court and dissatisfaction with Pei Yao.
Looking at Pei Yao's gloomy face, even if Pei Yao was not annoyed with the Hu family because of Lan Liangyuan's words, Wan Lingyi's heart was tight.
If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if.
So Concubine Wan also immediately knelt down and climbed a few steps forward, and hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the concubine and the concubine brother have no meaning of what Lan Liangyuan said, the concubine doesn't like Lan Liangyuan, that's because since she entered the palace, she has relied on her good family background and high position in the palace, so she has no concubines, and later the concubines raised the six princesses, and she caused a lot of trouble, and slandered the concubines and mistreated the princesses, and connived at the subordinates to murder the concubines, and even harbored evil intentions during the draft, and murdered the same batch of show girls, how can such a person be credible!"
Although Concubine Wan's hands are not clean, how much better can Lan Liangyuan be?
For a while, the two began to bite each other.
Lan Liangyuan was naturally panicked, but she also knew that the previous things had passed, and the emperor would not turn over the old accounts, the important thing was that Xu Lingyi had a miscarriage in front of her, so she immediately said loudly.
"Wan Concubine Niangniang said so many words that reversed black and white, and kept accusing the concubine of not, just to escape the crime of harming Xu Lingyi's miscarriage, what crime did the concubine have, the concubine beared, but Wan Concubine Niangniang, if you didn't do it to the concubine, how could Xu Ling, who was standing next to the concubine, be involved, fall into the lake, so that she had a miscarriage, when Xu Lingyi fell into the lake, she jumped down as soon as possible to save people, it can be seen that Niangniang should know the consequences of Xu Lingyi's injury, and what does it mean to commit it knowingly, Could it be that Niangniang jumped into the lake at that time and pretended to save people, just to hide the crime and escape responsibility at this moment! ”
These words really hit Wan Concubine's heart.
When she saw Xu Lingyi fall into the water, Wan Concubine's thoughts exploded for a moment, and then she immediately chose to jump into the water to save people, even if she didn't know how to swim in the water, what she could do was to avoid responsibility.
But I didn't expect that now because of her actions, she is a little unclear.
Fang Yu silently watched the two argue and accuse each other, and this time he didn't intend to interject.
And Pei Yao has already been quarreled with the two of them.
Originally, Xu Lingyi's miscarriage was enough to make people feel annoyed, and at this time, I still heard the quarrel between two people who were inseparable, and Pei Yao was even more angry.
"Alright, shut up!" Pei Yao shouted angrily with a cold face, "Concubine Wan knew that Xu Lingyi was pregnant, and she also had a verbal conflict with her, which indirectly harmed Xu's miscarriage, even if she didn't mean to, it had already caused a big disaster, but she didn't want to repent, she just blindly shirked it, took away the title, demoted it to Lingyi, and sent it back to the palace to be grounded for reflection, and the sixth princess took it to Qi Jinyuan to be temporarily taken care of by Concubine Zhao. ”
Wan Concubine, oh no, it's Hu Lingyi now, her face suddenly turned like ashes, her eyes widened, and she finally didn't mention it in one breath and fainted.
Yue Tao exclaimed in surprise and called the imperial doctor, and hurriedly carried Hu Lingyi away.
Seeing this situation, Lan Liangyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was extremely happy, and quickly lowered her head to hide the excitement in her eyes.
But then she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Although today's incident is the biggest fault of the Hu family, but as a low-ranking concubine, your words are disrespectful, you rush into a high position, anger others and cause disasters, and you will not escape the blame, and you will be punished with the Hu family to immediately return to the palace and be grounded for reflection, without my will, you must not come out!"
Pei Yao's deep voice gave an order, which immediately made most of the blood on Lan Liangyuan's face fade.
Naturally, it was all a lie that she had just asked for a punishment, and she was really punished this time, or such a heavy punishment, how could she be willing.
Grounded, no edict can be issued, so how can she compete for favor?
Obviously, Xu Lingyi can't serve after giving birth now, but her opportunity has come.
Thinking of this, Lan Liangyuan immediately cast a distressed glance at Fang Yu next to her, but Fang Yu's face was pale and she looked like she didn't want to get involved.
Seeing this, Lan Liangyuan couldn't see anywhere, Fang Yu still didn't accept her, and had to give up.
"The concubine obeys!" Lan Liangyuan kowtowed.
Leaving the scene is a little more decent than Hu Lingyi.
After they were all gone, Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head irritably, raised his hand and patted his forehead.
"Your Majesty." Fang Yu said softly, "The matter has come to this, the emperor must take care of the dragon body, Xu Lingyi has lost the child, I am afraid it will be uncomfortable when he wakes up, and the emperor has to appease one or two." ”
Pei Yao raised his head, with a depressed expression on his face, "I really didn't expect that this good news is only about ten days, and this is it."
"The world is unpredictable, no one wants to see such a thing happen, but Xu Lingyi is still young, take care of her body, she will definitely have children, and the important thing now is that the Xu family outside the palace must also be appeased." Fang Yu said softly.
Pei Yao nodded and stood up, "Let's go, let the Xu family have a good rest." ”
