Chapter 37

This sneer seemed particularly inappropriate.

The Queen Mother turned around and glared at Concubine Shu: "Ming Feiyan, what are you laughing at!"

Seeing the Empress Dowager calling her name directly because of her laughter, Concubine Shu also stood up and looked at her, with a spring-like smile on the corner of her mouth:
"My dear sister, the laughter and cursing in this scene is very interesting. If my sister doesn't join in, she will be let down!"

"Concubine Shu!" Judging from what she said, it seemed that she was mocking herself for acting on purpose, and the Empress Dowager's tone couldn't help being angry: "Pay attention to your identity!"

"The concubine is telling the truth, why is it in vain?" After saying this, Concubine Shu raised her chin slightly, raised her finger to the mad-looking Xianggu at the door, and asked:
"This person keeps saying that he has an affair with my daughter-in-law, but there is no evidence other than crying and arguing. Now that he can't make a false accusation, he wants to die together. The queen mother will be executed at this time. Isn't it a guilty conscience?"

"You say Ai's family is a thief? How bold!"

Since Ming Feiyan entered the palace, she has not changed her habits of the world, and she is quite favored by the late emperor.

Although the two can't get along in harmony, she is always respectful to herself.Unexpectedly, today she turned against herself in front of a room full of concubines because of her daughter-in-law!

"How dare the concubine say that the queen mother is a thief?" Without waiting for the queen mother to speak again, Concubine Shu preempted Wang Xueru, who looked frightened and angry: "In the eyes of the concubine, the person who brought this Xianggu into the palace , is the real snake and scorpion heart, whose intentions are more sinister than this Xianggu."

"He concluded that the newlyweds are like glue, no matter what he says, even if my daughter-in-law is full of mouths, she can't refute her innocence."

Concubine Shu's lips and tongue were like swords, she walked towards Wang Xueru as she spoke, with murderous aura all over her body:
"You keep saying that you want to seek justice for this aunt, but there are dead eggs under the nest? No matter what the result is, he will never get out of this palace alive!"

Kneeling on the ground, Wang Xueru, who had been trembling and not daring to raise her head, never thought today that this Concubine Shu would follow her into the palace.

What was even more beyond her imagination was that, as a mother-in-law, she would still protect her daughter-in-law under such circumstances.

But now she doesn't know why her brother sent this Xianggu in, let alone how it will end!

"Mr. Rong, what is your purpose?" Dowager Shu stared at Wang Xueru, who was in tears, and asked aggressively, "Or, what does the person behind you want to do?"

Not long after Wang Xueru first entered the palace, she had never dealt with this concubine Shu, and now she was even more worried, and could only cry on the ground tremblingly: "Aunt, I don't know, my concubine doesn't know!"

"Concubine Shu! Ai's family is still here!" The queen mother was quite dissatisfied with her actions.

It's her turn to educate her own daughter-in-law!

"It turns out that the Empress Dowager is not deaf and blind." Concubine Shu sneered, and sat back to her original place. "Just now, the nobleman was jumping up and down, and the concubines thought that she was in charge of the harem."

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother was choked and only cared about her luck.

At this time, the other concubines were relieved from the inexplicable pressure.

It has always been heard that Concubine Shu is a child of the world, but she has always followed the rules in the palace, but unexpectedly today she is domineering and protective of her daughter-in-law, and has made the Queen Mother speechless.

He couldn't help casting envious looks at Princess Yan.

This sudden happiness really made Lu Wanlan puzzled, she never expected that Concubine Shu would trust herself so much, and she would not hesitate to offend the Queen Mother because of it.

Seeing Lu Wanlan's inquiring gaze towards her, Concubine Shu only returned an affirmative look.

She really thought that she was going to be a grandmother, but it was not until today when she saw Lu Wanlan giving oranges with her sleeves rolled up, that bright red spot shattered her dream.

He was a little disappointed at first, but it seemed that Guding was bought by someone, and he seemed to turn Lu Lan to death.

If she tells her that her husband hasn't consummated the room with her, where will the child's little face be put?
It's still this mother-in-law, help her carry it.

Concubine Shu smiled helplessly. For the sake of her daughter-in-law's innocence, she could only put her son's face aside, and was about to announce the truth: "Queen Mother, in fact, my daughter-in-law is..."

"Report!!" An urgent announcement from outside the door interrupted Concubine Shu in time, "The chief of the servant's respect room, Xiao Quanzi, the internal supervisor, brought Princess Yan's red handkerchief to see the empress dowager, and begged her to surrender."

Princess Yan's?Drop a red handkerchief?

Xiao Yanzhi and Lu Wanlan consummated their marriage? !

Hearing this sentence, everyone in the hall, including Lu Wanlan, was extremely surprised.

Ronggui and the Xianggu stopped crying immediately.

There are rumors in the market that this Lu Wanlan's reputation has been ruined all along, and he married King Yan by force, so how could there be this Luohong handkerchief at this time?
The royal concubines and concubines of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to hand over the red handkerchiefs they wore when they got married to the Queen Mother for inspection to determine whether the woman was chaste.

The concubine who had been watching couldn't believe it, this scene was full of twists and turns.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager made such a fuss because she didn't see Yan Wangfu for a long time to send her into the palace?
Now that there is this, then this groundless slander is self-defeating!

The Empress Dowager looked indifferent, exhaled silently, and said to Eunuch Ning, "Let him in."

After a while, I saw the inner eunuch holding a snow-white brocade handkerchief, slowly walking into the hall, kneeling in front of the queen mother:
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the King of Yan ordered someone early in the morning to send the princess's red handkerchief into the palace. It was because the servants were not good enough to do things and delayed. The servants are willing to accept the punishment and apologize."

A touch of bright red on it, dazzling like a gemstone, imprinted in everyone's eyes.

The Queen Mother glanced at it and remained silent.

Lu Wanlan also seemed quite surprised to see Concubine Shu, and exclaimed in her heart, Xiao Yanzhi actually arranged this move!
The Empress Dowager saw the facts before her eyes, whether it was true or not, it showed that the King of Yan vowed to protect his concubine to the end.

She needed to find a way for Lu Wanlan to get rid of the crime without losing her face, so she thought about it and said:
"The respect office is not doing well, so go and get the punishment according to the law."

"My servant thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness." The eunuch put down the red handkerchief and left the door.

Although Wang Xueru on the side felt uneasy, she heard the Queen Mother's rather disappointed tone:

"Mr. Rong was bewitched by others, and lost his manners in front of the palace. He was banned for one month and fined for three months."

"Thank you... Queen Mother." Wang Xueru knew that this kind of punishment was already the lightest, so she didn't dare to intercede again.

"As for this Xianggu, she accused the concubine of false accusations, she is treasonous, dragged down and killed with a stick! Aijia doesn't want to hear him speak again!"

After hearing this, the elephant aunt was terrified, and desperately tore off the brocade handkerchief in the eunuch's hand:
"You guys! These imperial power nobles are high above you, how can you know that it is not easy for poor students! You are so quick to run, even greedy for the money for disaster relief! How could there be you scum in the Great Zhou... woo..."

But he is a frail man after all, he only yelled a few words before his mouth was gagged, his hands and feet were bound and he was dragged out.

The queen mother snorted coldly: "The Ai family didn't know that this poor student who prided himself on being noble would also become an elephant aunt?"

But seeing Duan Xinglang, who didn't dare to look up just now, with a rather regretful expression, he asked again: "You and him are good friends? Why didn't your father teach him what pride is? He actually made him humiliate all the scholars in the world? "

"The Empress Dowager, this person's name is Fang Anwen, and he escaped... from another place." Duan Xinglang said where this person came from, remembering his father's instructions before entering the palace, so he didn't mention the name of the place.

"He also has an elder brother. The two of them studied hard for ten years, but their mother was seriously ill when the scientific examination was about to take place. It may be a helpless act to be an elephant aunt to make a living. The two of them have always refused to accept the relief of the humble minister, but they did not expect that today , will slander the princess here."

After hearing this, the hall was completely silent.

Everyone here is rich and well-to-do, with no worries about food and clothing, how can they understand the hunger and cold of the poor? At this time, if they don't say "why not eat minced meat", it is the greatest self-cultivation.

The Queen Mother naturally didn't want to find out why he became Xianggu, but from Duan Xinglang's words, she found out the reason for how to punish Lu Wanlan.

She sighed softly: "At the end of the day, the source of this matter is Princess Yan. If your brother didn't mention anything, how could he be bitten by him?"

Then he turned to Lu Wanlan with scheming eyes: "You! How do you want Aijia to punish you?"
