The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 43

Hearing the sound, Jiaorong's brows couldn't help wrinkling, she pursed her lips and wanted to explain, but Yougui blocked her mouth one step before her: "You said you were loyal to me all day long, but now you have something to do. I still deceive you on purpose, is that how you show your loyalty!"

Yougui was also getting angry, after all, it was her who was most affected by this incident.Yinti has a bad personality and was not favored by the emperor. Now that Yinti has become the prince, how can the emperor put his mind on Yinti?

Jiao Rong gritted her teeth, although she was eager to defend herself, but in order to dispel the nobleman's anger, she knelt down respectfully first, and then said in a firm tone: "If the young master hadn't told me just now, this servant would not have known about Er A Brother was made the crown prince. All of this is the emperor's decision, and the servant is just a servant, how can he know such a big thing?"

Hearing Jiaorong's tone of righteous words, Bai Lan knew that Jiaorong's stubborn temper was not willing to give in in front of Yougui.But Yougui was already angry at this time, and Jiaorong's behavior was undoubtedly adding fuel to the flames, Bai Lan couldn't help frowning, trying to stop her: "Jiaorong..."

"You still dare to mention the emperor in front of me!" Yougui stood up straight away, her usually indifferent face was now as cold as a glacier to the extreme, and she said coldly: "You were in Yanxi Palace earlier. It’s all right to seduce the emperor. I think you have helped me with many things, and I think you have been promoted as an official in the imperial court, which is my answer to you. But now you know how important the emperor’s appointment of a prince is to me, and you still don’t say anything. Don't mention it, do you want me to die immediately?"

Yougui's words hit Jiaorong's face one by one like hail from the sky, her face became more and more serious, and she didn't know which sentence you should explain first.

Yougui is the Empress Dowager's person, and Jiao Rong knew this early on. The most important thing about this matter is not about Yinti's future, but that the Empress Dowager will blame Yougui. It was rare for her to be disrespectful in front of a court lady, and she lost her ladylike demeanor.

Yougui said that she was tired, so she stretched out her hand to support Bailan, leaned on her head, closed her eyes and pressed her temples lightly, trying to calm herself down. Her voice was much softer, but still very cold: "Now I will give you a chance to make up for what you have done. Whether it's the emperor or the second elder brother, if there are any important actions these days, let's talk about them together."

Hearing this, Jiao Rong frowned a little bit, she has always done her duty, so she didn't know what Mr. Yougui wanted to know from her, and she talked about the emperor behind his back, which was against the palace rules Yes, Jiao Rong's thinking is used to rigidity, and at this moment her lips are locked and she can't say a word.

Seeing her expression, Yougui thought that Jiaorong knew something and refused to say it, and immediately became angry, took a step forward and reached out to slap Jiaorong on the face.This blow vented all the grievances and anger that Yougui had endured for a while, and it hit Jiaorong's fair and tender face very crisply, and Bai Lan next to her was startled, screaming and backing away.

There was a burning pain on Jiaorong's face instantly, and she was also stunned for a moment, and she didn't react for a long time with her head down.Yougui was a little annoyed and laughed, and she didn't know whether it was because of her anger or because of her impulsiveness. She didn't seem to expect that she could be so impatient, watching her trembling hand that slapped her , a little panicked.

Although she has a cold face, everyone around her knows that Yougui has a gentle personality and is very kind to his servants.But right now, she actually reached out and hit her maid, which was something she could never do in the past.

The pain got worse, Jiaorong swallowed lightly, wanting to explain, but she also knew that no matter what she explained, Yougui would not listen.The only thing to blame is that she is a palace maid, her life is like nothing, and the words in her mouth don't carry any weight.

I don't know how long it took, Jiao Rong endured it, kowtowed her head slowly, and her voice became extremely cold: "This servant has never seduced the emperor, and she is really stupid. I don't know the slightest news about the emperor. It is the servant who failed the little master's expectations." , if the young master is angry, just ask the servants to punish the servants, so don't dirty your jade hands."

What Yougui hates seeing the most is Jiaorong's appearance at the moment, always acting so obedient and loyal, leaving her with nothing to reprimand.It is precisely because of this that if she treats Jiao Rong a little bit harshly, her conscience will feel bad.

This feeling of mixed feelings and tearing back and forth in my heart is the most devastating.Yougui closed her eyes, she really didn't want to see Jiaorong again, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go away from now on, don't let me see you again!"

Mr. Yougui has always been the most dignified and dignified model among all the concubines, but now he keeps swearing, he must have been pushed to the extreme.Jiaorong is always able to take in all other people's emotions in her eyes, she saw the helplessness and bewilderment of Yougui at the moment, so she could only softly answer: "Yes."

Immediately, Jiaorong and Bai Lan looked at each other, Bai Lan frowned and waved at her, signaling Jiaorong to leave first, and she will take care of Mr. Yougui.Jiao Rong lightly nodded her head, got up lightly, and stepped back.

After Jiao Rong left, Bai Lan helped You Gui to sit down.Looking at Jiaorong's back, Yougui looked very weak, with empty eyes, as if lost in thought: "Second elder brother has become the prince, what should Yinti do? What should I do with the queen mother?"

The Empress Dowager has a lot of ambitions for the former court in recent years, but although she is a mistress of the harem, it is very difficult to reach out to the former court, so the Queen Mother has high hopes for the elder brother, as long as the elder brother If there is a chance to become the prince, the queen mother can completely control everything about the elder brother and thus intervene in the previous dynasty.

Bai Lan has never seen Yougui look so panic-stricken, as panic-stricken as a child who lost money.Bai Lan stepped forward and patted Yougui on the back with some distress, wanting to comfort her but didn't know what to say: "Master..."

Compared with the turmoil in the harem, the emperor himself was much calmer in the Qianqing Palace.He first went to see Yinreng, and told the young Yinreng about his expectations and high hopes for him. The child listened very seriously, but he didn't feel any surprise, and he didn't even show the slightest joy on his face. , just said softly "My son knows", and there is nothing to say.

The emperor wasn't annoyed at all, what he always liked was Yinreng's stable temperament, which had an imperial demeanor.After returning to the bedroom, the emperor was about to take a nap when Liang Jiugong suddenly walked in hurriedly: "Your majesty!"

The emperor just took off the jade pendant on his waist, when he heard the sound, he glanced at Liang Jiugong: "What's the matter?"
