Shangshi female official

Li Niangniang was talking wildly, when she heard that the emperor was coming, she looked eagerly at the door.

Wang Yifu, Moxie and the others all bowed and retreated to the wall, kneeling on the ground to welcome the holy driver. The people in the room were instantly shorter by half. The emperor led a group of people into the side hall of Kunning Palace, wearing bright yellow dresses. Behind the corner was a man in fine clothes.

Wang Yifu was puzzled, the people who followed the emperor to Kunning Palace at this moment must be to move the rescuers, who will move the rescuers?She couldn't help but look up, it was Empress Depin.

Empress Dowager?

After Li Niangniang saw the emperor, she staggered and rushed into the emperor's arms, and cried, "Your Majesty, my concubine is wronged, my concubine is wronged."

The emperor put his arms around Li Niangniang's shoulders, patted her gently twice to comfort her, and then said: "My concubine, don't worry, if there are some unfounded things, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Li Niangniang, who was weeping in the emperor's arms, continued: "Your majesty, if you are not here, they will unite to bully me. You are partial to my concubines. How many open and dark arrows have been suffered by my concubines, you have to make the decision for me."

"Okay, okay, I will make the decision for you."

The emperor took Li Niangniang's hand and sat down on the north face, looked around, and laughed, and said: "There are so many people, it's so lively."

The emperor never said that he would be exempt from courtesy, and the empress was also kneeling. Even when she was kneeling, she straightened her waist and said without fear: "Li Xi has committed a lot of crimes, but he has won the emperor's favor. To show fairness, my concubine only The two concubines, Xianning and Concubine, have been invited to interrogate the case together. Since five princes are involved in this matter, the concubine believes that the mothers of the children should also know the truth."

"The empress fetches a basin of water first, so I can wash my concubine's face."

The empress had no choice but to order someone to fetch water, and let Empress Li go to the living room to the east of the empress to fix her makeup. The emperor asked again: "Empress, what major event did you find?"

"Gong Zheng, tell the emperor what happened in the future."

Gong Zheng repeated what he had just said, so far, the emperor said leisurely to the concubines: "You all get up."

The two concubines of Xian Ning shook their legs when they stood up, and they couldn't stand up straight. The emperor saw it, and Fang said: "Everyone who should sit down should sit down, they are old, why bother."

The empresses and concubines all helped the maids to sit down tremblingly, while the empress stood aside and persuaded: "Your Majesty, let the palace officials and monks get up too."

"Let them kneel down. The princes and concubines are drugged. No matter what, they are dereliction of duty by the Shangshi Bureau. How can they be worthy of standing up and talking."

"Your Majesty, there are those who prescribe drugs and those who don't, and those who fight bravely. How can we generalize them?"

"I don't have the time to distinguish so clearly like the Queen. So many people have been implicated, Shangshi Bureau is really a good office."

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for Li Xi's strong pressure, who would dare to disrespect the royal family? Besides, besides Li Xi, there is another person who can't get away with it."

"Who?"

"Come here, take Qiu Xing down."

The Empress gave an order, and two eunuchs outside the palace responded, one of them pressed Qiu Xing's arm, and pressed Qiu Xing down.
Qiu Xing knelt on the ground, his arms were cut backwards, he raised his head and said in horror: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

The emperor's eyes were deep, he raised his head slightly, and said: "Queen, you seem to have a lot of opinions on the person I like around me."

"The concubines are not petty and unreasonable people. Those who transport medicinal materials to the palace for Li Xi are from Qiu Xing's medicinal shop, and these cleaning craftsmen are also personally selected by Qiu Xing as the chief servant. of."

The emperor rubbed his temples, seemed a little bored, and asked Qiu Xing, "What's going on?"

Qiu Xing looked like he was about to cry, and shouted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am wronged, this palace cleaning craftsman is recruited by the salary-conscious department, and has nothing to do with me."

The empress faced her husband, neither humble nor overbearing, and continued: "The concubine asked the Secretary of Salary the day before yesterday, since Qiu Xing was recommended by Li Xi to the emperor to be the chief eunuch, all the cleaning craftsmen were brought into the palace by Qiu Xing's family, and they were registered in the register. Among the people, there are several people with the surname Qiu, who are distant relatives of Qiu Xing."

"Your Majesty, the young one is also in trouble. The family members know that the young one is in this position, so it is inevitable that someone will come to ask for help. The young one has only recommended a few people, and did not force..."

The queen empress asked angrily: "Then why is the private medicine that killed the emperor's heirs and concubines in the palace come from your medicine shop?"

"Your Majesty, some palace people go to the medicine shop opened by the little one to buy some medicinal herbs in order to get benefits from the little one. The little ones also have troubles. It's all about the world, and the little ones really can't do anything about it. But this medicinal material enters the palace. The little ones don't matter."

The Empress said again: "Your Majesty, those who carried the medicinal materials into the palace have already admitted that Qiu Xing arranged them. These medicinal materials used privately have also been compared with those from Qiu Xing's medicinal shop. The quality and origin are the same. It is indeed from his family. I can’t believe Qiu Xing’s words.”

"Your Majesty, the empress is very dissatisfied with Li Niangniang and the younger one. I'm afraid she arranged someone to deliberately frame Li Niangniang and the younger one..."

"Scumbag, nonsense!" The concubine, who was crying before, stood up and complained for the empress, stepped forward and knelt down in front of the emperor, begging: "Your majesty, you are the son of heaven, the king, and the husband of the concubines!" , the father of a concubine’s son, now that your wife and children have been murdered by such despicable people, can you give up your favoritism and give your wife and children justice?”

At this time, Li Niangniang came out of the living room after dressing up, walked to the emperor's side, stretched out a hand, and the emperor pulled her to sit beside her.

As soon as she sat down, Empress Li blew the wind again: "The concubine is old and pearly, it is really not worth the trouble of the empress, I just ask the empress to let the concubine go, so that the concubine can stay with the emperor for life, the concubine Even if it's just a court lady, she's willing."

As she spoke, Li Niangniang was about to wipe her tears again with a handkerchief, the emperor patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "What kind of court lady, my concubine must not say such depressing words."

"Your Majesty!" The concubine, who was kneeling on the ground, cried bitterly, "Please distinguish right from wrong, and fight for the noble spirit between heaven and earth for the concubines, concubines and children."

"you shut up."

When Longyan got angry, the concubine gasped, and then cried even harder, unable to control herself.

"Concubine Fu An go to the East Hall to rest for a while."

The empress looked for a step down for Concubine An to contradict the emperor. The female historian next to Concubine An saw her sharp eyesight and hurriedly helped her out. The emperor's protective heart was clearly known. shaken.

Seeing this situation, the empress bent her legs one by one, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly: "Three years ago, the emperor made a good relationship with his concubines in this East Hall.

The emperor said that courtiers and concubines should remember that as a queen, they are not only wives, but also the mother of the country. They should lead the concubines in the palace and set an example for women. They must remember every word and action, which is the style of the mother of the country. "
