Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 1039 The trap of the wise concubine

Liang Yu rushed to Concubine Li. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the emperor protected Concubine Li.

"Why are you crazy!" The emperor shouted.

Liang Yu's eyes were red, "My daughter..."

"The sixth princess is Concubine Li's daughter, not your daughter!"

One sentence made Liang Yu a joke. She couldn't help but retreat, her face full of grief.

Concubine Xian sighed and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the queen is a mother after all. You should be more considerate of her. Furthermore, the sixth princess fell from the rockery. It cannot be said that Concubine Li has no responsibility at all."

The emperor frowned and looked at Concubine Xian, "It was just an accident. What responsibility does Concubine Li have!"

"I heard that Concubine Li went to the Queen's courtyard two nights ago to burn paper money..." At this point, she seemed to be afraid of something, so she shut up and went to see the Emperor again.

The emperor waved his hand and asked her to continue.

"After returning to Chaorong Palace, not long after I heard the cry of the Sixth Princess, she was crying heartbreakingly. The next day, I saw the Sixth Princess sitting in the garden crying, and there were no nurses or palace maids to look after her. I hurried over and asked her what was wrong. She said she had a headache. When I saw it, I realized that the Sixth Princess’s forehead was swollen. Tsk, tsk, I thought she had fallen on her own, but she said she was beaten by her mother and concubine.”

Seeing Concubine Li looking over with a cold expression, Concubine Xian said hurriedly: "Of course, you can't believe what a child says. Just like today, the Sixth Princess was playing in the garden, and Concubine Li didn't know what was bothering her. She thought it was annoying that the Sixth Princess was surrounding her. I scolded her a few times. The sixth princess was young after all, so maybe she was frightened, so she climbed up the rockery and tried to hide, but she slipped and fell."

When Liang Yu heard this, she knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please feel sorry for the sixth princess. She is only three years old. She cannot withstand Concubine Li's torment like this!"

Concubine Xian said many unfavorable things to her, and Liang Yu also cried and accused her, but Concubine Li did not say a word to defend herself, her expression was cold and arrogant.

The emperor still wanted to protect her, so he asked: "Rong Rong, I believe you will not do anything to a child. Even if the sixth princess is not your biological child, she was raised by you. These two times were accidents, right? "

Concubine Li sneered, "My son is dead, but her daughter is still fine. Does the emperor have anything else to ask?"

"Rongrong!"

Concubine Li lowered her eyes, "I am not the Holy Mother, so naturally I cannot be the mother of the Sixth Princess."

Concubine Xian's thoughts changed and she said: "Since Concubine Li has said this, the Emperor should also be considerate of her. Why not return the Sixth Princess to the Queen, who is her biological mother after all? This is the best arrangement for the Sixth Princess."

Hearing this, Liang Yu looked at Concubine Xian gratefully.

Concubine Xian held her hand and said, "Especially since the Queen is pregnant now and is accompanied by the Sixth Princess. She is in a happy mood, which is also good for the fetus in her belly."

The emperor hesitated a little after hearing this.

Concubine Li said at this time: "I don't agree!"

With one sentence, the scene suddenly froze.The emperor frowned, obviously displeased with Concubine Li's domineering behavior.

At this time, the imperial doctor came out and said that the wounds of the Sixth Princess had been bandaged, and no bones were injured. Except for the more serious injury on the forehead, the arms and legs were all bruised.

Hearing this, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Concubine Li carefully and saw that her cold face immediately softened a lot after hearing the imperial doctor's words.

The emperor went into the room to see the sixth princess, followed closely by Concubine Xian and Liang Yu. Concubine Li stood for a moment before entering the room.

Liu Yunxiang saw several palace maids kneeling there on the east side of the courtyard. He thought for a moment and walked towards that side.Among these maids, one is older and should be the nurse of the Sixth Princess, while the other two are younger and should be serving the Sixth Princess personally.She walked over and knelt down next to them, and whispered: "I am the maid next to the queen."

The wet nurse glanced at her and continued to kneel with her head down.

"The Queen and Concubine Li have some misunderstandings because of the Sixth Princess, so I have been specially asked to ask you guys. Did the Concubine really beat the Sixth Princess when she returned from Rongqing Palace two nights ago?"

The wet nurse and the two maids didn't want to talk to her at all. Perhaps they shared the same hatred with their master and had a bad attitude towards the people in Rongqing Palace.

"Concubine Li doesn't say anything, and you don't say anything either. That's a guilty conscience."

"Why are you guilty!" The wet nurse was a little angry, "Concubine Li was very kind to the sixth princess, how could she beat her? That night, the sixth princess just had a nightmare and shouted that she wanted to sleep with Concubine Li, and Concubine Li had just paid a memorial ceremony. The little prince was in a bad mood, so he refused to agree. When the sixth princess walked out crying, she tripped and knocked her head."

"By the way, when it comes to saying that the imperial concubine beat the sixth princess, the imperial concubine has never beaten the sixth princess at all. Although she is not so affectionate to the sixth princess on weekdays, she has never treated her harshly. Otherwise, the sixth princess would not be able to rely on the imperial concubine so much."

"Exactly, the imperial concubine has a cold face and a warm heart. She is a good person."

The three servants were aggrieved for their master. They had obviously heard Concubine Xian's overt and covert accusations just now. Concubine Li did not defend herself, but they listened anxiously.

Liu Yunxiang secretly exhaled and asked why the six princesses climbed up the rockery today and why they didn't see it.

The wet nurse frowned, "It was indeed our negligence today. The imperial concubine asked us to take the Sixth Princess to the rockery to play. She saw a maid from the Qiuhua Palace fall down and spill the snacks she was holding on the floor. We helped her clean it up. Unfortunately, the sixth princess was no longer visible in the blink of an eye. When we ran to the rockery to look for her, we saw that the sixth princess had climbed up, and before we could react, she fell down again."

"A maid from Qiuhua Palace?"

"Ah."

After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang roughly understood what was going on. It was Concubine Xian who really harmed the Sixth Princess.

At this time, the emperor and others came out of the room. Liang Yu cried and begged the emperor to give the sixth princess to her to raise, but Concubine Li firmly disagreed.Liang Yu collapsed and mentioned the matter of Concubine Li's son, and Concubine Li's face immediately turned cold.

Concubine Xian was still standing by, looking compassionate, but her words were full of provocation.

Liu Yunxiang hurried over and pulled Liang Yu aside as an excuse to tidy up her clothes.

"Concubine Xian deliberately provoked a fight between you and Concubine Li. Don't fall into the trap."

Liang Yu was puzzled, "She is obviously helping me."

"Concubine Li did not treat the Sixth Princess harshly. On the contrary, she loved the Sixth Princess very much. If you take the Sixth Princess back now, she might go crazy and do something. Then you will not be able to save the Sixth Princess, the child in her belly, or the child in her belly." Oneself, and a good concubine can make a profit."

"Can……"

Liu Yunxiang held Liang Yu's hand, "Do you believe me or Concubine Xian?"

Liang Yu was helped back by Liu Yunxiang, and Concubine Xian was still talking to her.

"Your Majesty, please return the Sixth Princess to the Queen. You feel sorry for Concubine Li, but you should also think about the Queen, right?"

The emperor frowned, but even though Concubine Li disagreed, his attitude still relaxed.
