Chapter 108
The imperial concubine gritted her teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about, Your Highness?"

"Forcibly seeking the emperor's asylum is a crime."

She stared at the law, and couldn't help but feel scared, who knows what strange regulations are in the laws of Tianyuan Kingdom.

If she had known that Shen Mengqi would copy the law so hard, she shouldn't have asked the former minister of punishment to amend and add laws at will in order to get a lot of money quickly.

Who would have thought that the sins he committed before would become his calamity now?
The imperial concubine looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "Why do you only force me to do so?"

As she spoke, she tugged at the sleeve of the emperor.

Under the emperor's protection these years, the imperial concubine has become more and more bold and presumptuous.

The emperor said without raising his head: "I was not forced."

Shen Mengqi wasn't bothered, she directly opened the first few pages of the law.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine was still relieved, because she remembered that no one had tampered with the previous few pages, and they were all normal regulations, and she absolutely did not violate them.

In the next second, she heard Shen Mengqi say: "Article [-] of the Tianyuan Kingdom's law, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and all foreign ministers in private meetings will be executed with a cane."

"What does this have to do with my palace?" The noble concubine looked at Shen Mengqi with a sneer and said, "Your Highness, it can't be because you embrace the laws of the Tianyuan Kingdom that you have taken over all the principles of the world, right?" .”

"This princess remembers the Minister of the Household Department and the former Minister of Rites, and the former Minister of the Ministry of Punishment as frequent visitors to your palace. People in the harem say that they go to your place more often than they go to court."

The queen mother raised her eyelids, looked at the imperial concubine and asked, "Is that so?"

"She's talking nonsense," the imperial concubine explained, "Queen Dowager, you know the concubines well. The concubines are either with the emperor all day, or they stay in the palace by themselves. For these foreign ministers, the concubines are all avoiding suspicion." .”

"At most, it's just that when the concubine occasionally goes to see the third prince to study, she can meet them, but she never said anything. The concubine's palace people can prove it for the concubine."

Without waiting for the queen mother to answer, Shen Mengqi took the words over and said: "Coincidentally, this princess also heard the news from the people in the imperial concubine's palace."

With that said, Shen Mengqi quietly tugged at the corner of Lin Jihan's clothes under the table.

Lin Jihan, who had been staring at Shen Mengqi in a daze, said slowly: "Yes, the king of Japan was also there that day. I heard from the palace man that Shangshu Hubu hurriedly came to discuss the situation in the court with you until late at night. And most of the personnel you have placed in this batch of scientific expeditions have made it to the list."

"Your concubine, won't you give me an explanation?"

Looking at the emperor who turned black face at her for a moment, the imperial concubine hurriedly explained: "He is lying! Your majesty, please don't believe him, the people in the palace have been poisoned by the concubines for a long time. Open your mouth and speak!"

After so many years, she still hasn't gotten rid of her habit of not turning her head in a hurry.

Shen Mengqi looked at the imperial concubine with a sneer and said: "Oh, the people in the imperial concubine's palace were made dumb and deaf by you, not born with disabilities as you said before."

Fearing that everyone present would not be able to hear clearly, Shen Mengqi specially emphasized the words poisonous, deaf and dumb.

The imperial concubine's face darkened instantly, she looked at Shen Mengqi and gritted her teeth, "Are you bullying me?"

Shen Mengqi sat upright, "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

The emperor said coldly: "Your concubine, you are really good."

Looking at the indifferent emperor, the noble concubine said in a panic, "Your Majesty, my concubine and my concubine."

"You have admitted it yourself, how do you want to quibble?"

"The concubine didn't want to quibble."

The noble concubine held her heart and said: "Your majesty, you know that since the concubine saved the empress with her life, she has been in poor health and can't hear too much noise."

"The eunuchs and maids in this palace are always messy. The concubine really has nothing to do, so I made such a bad plan. Please also look at the empress's face and spare the concubine this time!"

Although the imperial concubine's voice was full of crying, she did not have a single tear in her eyes, and all her strength was spent on howling.

Everyone could tell that she was faking it, but she brought out the late queen empress, that is, she took out the gold medal for avoiding death.

Sure enough, the emperor sighed, then closed his eyes and said to the noble concubine, "Get up first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that this matter was about to be suppressed, Shen Mengqi said: "If the body is broken, it can be healed, but if the heart is dirty, it can't be cured. The empress was kind and benevolent, and the people loved her very much. It was after a generation of virtuous people that the posthumous title of filial piety was given."

Lin Jihan followed her words and said: "If the empress knew that the imperial concubine had killed hundreds of people for her own selfish desires, I don't know if she would regret being saved by you."

Seeing that the emperor's face turned cold again, and the imperial concubine was angry, she said to Lin Jihan, "This is our family business, what's the matter with you?"

"Didn't you just say that we are a family? Why, not now?"

"you!"

"Shut up!"

The emperor looked at the noble concubine unbearably and said, "Don't you think it's not embarrassing enough?"

The imperial concubine immediately fell to her knees, "I know my mistake."

"I've been too indulgent with you these years. There are hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs. They are also the children of their parents. How can you bear it?"

"Concubine. Concubine"

Now, the imperial concubine really burst into tears.Since she saved the empress, the emperor has been obedient to her all these years, and he has never said a single serious word. This is the first time he has said such a serious word.

"Decide my will, the noble concubine is not worthy of the position, she will be demoted to a concubine, and she will be banned for a month, and she will not be released without my will!"

"Concubine?" The noble concubine was instantly frightened, "No, Your Majesty, this concubine really knows her mistake, so please forgive this concubine this time!"

The third prince also knelt down, "Father, please let my concubine mother go, I am willing to take it on my mother's behalf!"

The imperial concubine became even more anxious when she heard that, she slapped the third prince hard and said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The third prince firmly knelt beside the imperial concubine and said: "Father, my concubine has a strong temper, and she will not be able to bear being reduced to a concubine. I am willing to be punished for my mother, and I ask my father to do it!"

"Your majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, the concubine has accepted the punishment, and the concubine will accept whatever punishment you punish!"

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little moved after seeing it.

At this time, Lin Jihan said lightly from the side: "What a mother and child love each other deeply, it's really touching."

Lin Jihan was clearly stating the facts, but he always felt a little uncomfortable when it fell into everyone's ears.

The emperor waved his sleeves, turned around and stopped looking at the imperial concubine, mother and son.

"Take the concubine away."

Looking at the noble concubine who was being pressed by the eunuchs to walk towards her bedroom, the third prince cried, "Mother, mother!"

Those who didn't know thought it was the parting of their mother and child.

The emperor grabbed a corner of the dining table violently, and then lifted it violently, the dining table was overturned in an instant, the dishes on the table were scattered all over the floor, and the scene was in a mess.

The emperor looked at Lin Jihan and Shen Mengqi and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
