What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 55 Concubine Chen, what else do you have to say?

Cui was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

"What a powerful woman, Zhao Liangdi stumbled, and I was not spared either."

"But I gave birth to a good skin!"

The prince's condition deteriorated further, Huayang Palace was sealed tightly.

Some people said that the wounds were suppurated, and some said that the high fever would not subside and they would die sooner or later.

The maids and eunuchs of Huayang Palace have already been interrogated, and all the houses that entered and exited the palace that day were also searched to the bottom.

No clues were found, and the case remained a mystery.

When everyone was at a loss, Gong Zhengsi broke the news that a young maid in Huayang Palace confessed that Chen Fei and the third prince ordered it.

The poisonous insect was not brought in from outside the palace, but kept in an abandoned garden inside the palace.

On that day, the concubine Qing took people to the banquet, and there were few people around the little prince, so she put it in the little prince's bedroom while no one was paying attention.

"joke!"

The old emperor trembled with anger.

"You are a mere court lady, what evidence do you have to slander my other son?"

In the main hall of Jiaofang Palace, the emperor pointed at the little maid kneeling under the stage with trembling fingers.

Severe torture, the little maid was covered in blood, her wrists and ankles were shackled, it was very miserable.

She looked at Concubine Chen mournfully, tears pouring down her face.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, it's the servant who is worthless and can't help being tortured. The slave is too painful. The servant also has parents to support and wants to live. I beg your forgiveness."

"What's more, the little prince is still a baby, so innocent, the servants still saved a hand, and didn't take the little prince's life on the spot"

"Your Majesty, it's only natural for you to plan for the Third Prince, but you should avoid such unreasonable things. There is a god in your head..."

Meng'er said a lot, and Concubine Chen's face became paler and paler.

"What are you talking about? I can't understand a word, when will I instruct you..."

"Concubine Chen"

The queen sat upright with a dignified tone.

"Let her finish her sentence"

The queen signaled Meng'er to continue, Meng'er had finished what she had to say, and finally took out a stack of bank notes from her bosom, 50 tael denominations, a total of one hundred.

"The 5000 taels of silver note belonged to the Futong Bank in the capital city. It was specially told to me by the concubine Chen when she gave it to me. The slaves are illiterate, and I think those who can read can recognize them."

"The empress also said that if you withdraw 50 taels at a time, it will not arouse suspicion, and you can withdraw slowly for [-] taels."

Concubine Chen was dumbfounded that the motives of the witnesses and material evidence could be matched.

"Impossible, how could I have so much money? I haven't saved money in Fortis Bank either?" Concubine Chen was stunned.

The Chen family has been in decline for a long time, and they only live on the old empty airs. If it is not supported by Concubine Chen, the old empty airs will probably be gone.

Without support from her natal family, no love, and a prince to support, it is indeed impossible for Concubine Chen to save so much money.

The old emperor knew it well, and looked at Concubine Chen with a softer look.

"Maybe you are wronged"

But Meng'er insisted on it.

"Of course the empress doesn't have it herself, and she can't save it. The third prince gave you all the money. As for where the third prince got it from, I don't know."

The atmosphere was tense again.

It is indeed much easier for an adult prince who has built a mansion to get 5000 taels of silver than a concubine.

In particular, the third prince once went to the Ministry of Officials to practice for a period of time.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of assessing the promotion and promotion of officials. It is too easy to do something tricky.

The old emperor was full of suspicion.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Meng'er nodded solemnly: "It's absolutely true, this servant guarantees it with his life"

"Concubine Chen, what else can you say?"

"You have such a vicious heart, Old Ten is still a baby, and you can do it anyway"

Standing up tremblingly, the old emperor went in front of Concubine Chen and slapped her hard.

There was a 'snap', and the ears buzzed.

Concubine Chen covered her ears for a while before she realized that she had been beaten, and the queen also stared at her majestically.

"Concubine Chen, you are also a mother, how can you be so cruel?"

Before the words were finished, the princes and princesses arrived one after another.

Everyone was present except the tenth prince who was being treated urgently.

"Mother!"

Xie Jingzhi bounced around and snuggled up to the queen, very lazy and impatient.

"Why do you want my daughter to come, she is taking a nap"

The queen patted her: "Don't make trouble, you see how chaste the third sister is, and you don't talk too much, just stand and go"

Xie Jingzhi turned her head and walked away with a flat mouth.

The expressions of the princes are colorful.

The second prince lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, the third prince was dumbfounded, the fifth prince's eyes wandered, and the sixth prince was as usual.

The eighth man stands respectfully and cautiously in his words and deeds, while the ninth man is impatient.

The feelings of the princes are written on their faces.

"The third child comes out!"

The old emperor roared angrily.

The third prince staggered a step forward, knelt down at the front and kowtowed to pay his respects.

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Say, have you ever deposited 5000 taels of silver notes in Fortis Bank?"

The third prince thought about it carefully, then nodded: "There is such a thing."

"But the bank note has been lost for two months, and I can't find it no matter what, I am so angry that I want to turn over the bank. How did the father know?"

The third prince ignored the grievance and humiliation of his mother and concubine, and could not see the anger in his father's eyes, so he just talked to himself.

Sure enough, everything was right.

"Bitch! You mother and son have done a good job!"

The old emperor immediately called people in, arrested the mother and the child and threw them into the jail in a flash. Before leaving, he gave a sinister smile.

"If the old ten is safe and sound, if something happens to him, you mother and son will be buried with him."

The emperor walked away, and the empress regretted a few words and left with her daughter.

The concubines, princes and princesses all left.

Before leaving, the second child Xie Chenke suddenly stopped the fifth and sixth child.

"You two younger brothers, you should also be careful, the emperor's temper, I really don't care about anything for the sake of the tenth brother."

"that is"

The Fifth Prince was also humiliated.

When he searched the mansion that day, he met a maid who had been coveting for a long time, and she was about to succeed, when suddenly the Imperial Forest Army came in and searched randomly, which almost made him feel helpless and lost even half the interest.

The servant girl was so ashamed that she blushed and had no face to see others, and within a few days she found a young servant to start a family. The couple cooked raw rice and cooked it. He couldn't say anything more, so he had to let her go.

It's silly to think about it.

"That little bastard was born by a musician, and he really thought he was a phoenix wearing a colorful skin?"

He walked out cursing, Xie Chenke tried to stop him several times, but he was still speechless.

"Forget it, only you, second brother, have such a good temper."

Fifth prince Xie Chenmu patted his second brother on the shoulder.

"My brother is leaving first. Don't come to me for these things in the future. I don't know anything."

"Five Brothers Walk Slowly"

After sending Xie Chenmu away, Xie Chenke went out of the palace all the way back to his mansion.

Ignoring the older wives and the younger wives, Xie Chenke was happy in every possible way staying in his study in the front yard.

"This group of people is too stupid, especially my father, hehe"

The next day, news came from the palace that Concubine Chen had no way to teach her son and was demoted to the position of concubine. The evidence of the third prince's murder of the younger brother was convincing, so he was given fifty lashes first, and we'll see later.
