The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Shen Bochen and Concubine Jin squatted side by side beside Princess Jiamin, and after a few glances, he scolded the maid with hostility in his eyes, and asked sharply, "Why did the princess suddenly fall into the pond? How did you serve her? The imperial physician where now?"

The palace lady looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was so frightened that she couldn't even cry, she just knelt aside trembling, but she couldn't speak a word.

Zhao Nuoqing endured the pain in her palms, and immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, my concubine has asked the little eunuch who is serving the princess to go to the imperial hospital to find an imperial doctor!"

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Jin suddenly slapped Zhao Nuoqing on the face. The action was so fast that everyone present had no time to react. Her face was already swollen, and the corner of her mouth overflowed with a trace of bright red.

Zhao Nuoqing's head was dazed from the beating, and he covered his face in a daze for a moment, then heard the emperor scold angrily, "What are you doing?"

Concubine Jin felt extremely wronged, and now that the child's life or death was uncertain, she naturally did not fear the emperor's scolding, and cried out sharply: "It was she who pushed my son into the pond, can't my concubine beat her? Your majesty, you want to give me a slap in the face?" The concubine and the princess are in charge!"

As soon as the words fell, all the concubines present looked at Zhao Cairen, who was covering his face and his hair was in a messy bun, with disbelief on his face.

Lin Cairen on the side heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "How does Concubine Jin know that it is Princess Jiamin recommended by Zhao Cairen? Is there anyone to prove it? If it is really Zhao Cairen, why is Zhao Cairen soaked all over, and When we came here just now, we saw that Zhao Cairen was obviously saving the princess!"

Concubine Jin turned her head, gave Lin Cairen a fierce look, and immediately pointed to the court lady who was leading the way, she said angrily: "You! Tell the emperor what is going on? How did you tell this palace just now? !"

Zhao Nuoqing raised his head and glanced at the maid, it was this maid who called her a "thief".

Seeing that the palace maid was also full of tears at this time, she pointed at her tremblingly and said: "The servants are playing hide-and-seek with the princess, and the princess disappeared in a blink of an eye. After the servants found the princess, they saw Zhao It was her...she..."

The palace lady spoke intermittently, as if she didn't dare to speak, she secretly glanced at Zhao Nuoqing, the concubine Jin who was beside her couldn't bear it and pulled the palace lady over with fury, shouting angrily: "What's wrong with her! Tell me! "

The maid was so frightened that her crying became louder, and she quickly pointed to Zhao Nuoqing and said: "The servants saw Zhao Cairen push the princess down the pond, the servants shouted in panic, and saw Zhao Cairen also jumped down the pond, He also said that it was she who saw the princess falling into the pond, so she jumped down to save the princess! The servant was afraid that Zhao Cairen would kill us all in a moment of anger, so she ran out quietly while Zhao Cairen was not paying attention, and went to report Empress Concubine Jin!"

The maid's words instantly explained Lin Cairen's questioning clearly.It turned out that her clothes were wet because she jumped into the pond, and saving the princess was to cover up her evil deed of pushing the princess down the pond!

Zhao Nuoqing looked coldly at the court lady who turned the truth upside down, if she hadn't been the person involved, she might have believed it.

Seeing the emperor's heavy eyes, she hurriedly shook her head and explained: "No, your majesty, my concubine has no grievances with Princess Jiamin, not to mention this is the first time my concubine sees the princess, so how can I treat you?" Where did the princess murder her?"

The maid immediately retorted: "I have witnesses!"

Saying that, the maid crawled to the other side, pushed the other maid who was still in a daze, gritted her teeth and said, "Yuyan, tell me, did we see Zhao Cairen push the princess into the water with our own eyes? Tell me Ah! With the Emperor and Concubine Jin making decisions for us, Zhao Cairen cannot escape!"

The maid named Yuyan felt her arm was pinched heavily, and looked back at the maid beside her, as if she could only hear a sentence in her mind.

Zhao Cairen can't escape!

Zhao Cairen can't escape!

This sentence was repeated in her ears like a curse, and finally, Yuyan nodded and said tremblingly: "Yes, what Jingxiu said is true! It was Zhao Cairen who pushed it!"

After all, Yuyan didn't dare to raise her head anymore, she could feel Zhao Cairen's gaze, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, if she told the truth, it was because they were lazy and didn't keep an eye on the princess, causing the princess to fall into the pond, They are afraid that their lives will die.

As for Zhao Cairen, if she takes the blame, at most she will be thrown into limbo, and she will not die!
Thinking of this, Swift became more determined.

Seeing what Yuyan said, a big rock fell from Jingxiu's heart, now only waiting for Xiao Lizi to come back with the imperial doctor, he will definitely tell them the same confession, then, they will be able to escape smoothly when the princess fell into the water, although It's inevitable to get a board, but it's better than losing your life!

Everyone held their breath right now, waiting to see how Zhao Nuoqing would defend herself, even Lin Cairen couldn't think of words to defend her for a while.

The queen stood on the sidelines, the matter of the princess was related to the blood of the emperor's heir, and she could not take sides in this matter, she had to see the cause and effect of the matter before making a judgment.

Concubine Shu beside her seemed not to want to let Zhao Nuoqing go. Seeing that a great opportunity came to her door, she might as well take this opportunity to cut off Zhao Nuoqing's way of competing for favor in the future, and immediately said: "The evidence is complete. What else do you have to say? Your majesty, I beg you to punish Zhao Cairen severely! So I can give Concubine Jin an explanation!"

Concubine Jin turned her head to look at Concubine Shu gratefully. Unexpectedly, the two of them do not treat each other normally, but now she is the only one who speaks for herself.

After Concubine Shu finished speaking, she glanced at Han Baolin quietly, Han Baolin understood, and immediately held the handkerchief and pretended to wipe away tears and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhao Cairen is too cruel, Princess Jiamin is only five years old, how pitiful !"

Hearing Han Baolin's words, the other concubines who came to see the fun also agreed, and decided to punish the emperor for Zhao Nuoqing's crime.

Shen Bochen looked at Zhao Nuoqing, for some reason, he always felt that Zhao Nuoqing would not hurt Jia Min.

But at this moment, she was at a disadvantage, and there were witnesses in the situation, and everyone's words made money, so it was hard for him not to do something.

"Where is the maid serving you? Why is she here alone?"

Zhao Nuoqing replied: "The concubine's maid, Jin Miao, was unwell, so she asked Jin He to go back and have a look. The concubine waited in the pavilion in front, and happened to hear the sound of water falling here, so she came to have a look, and found The princess fell into the water, and the concubine rescued the princess! Your Majesty, the concubine has no reason to harm the princess!"

Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Jin refuted sharply.

"Why is there no reason? It's just because of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. I didn't have a good look with you, so you held a grudge! You poisonous woman! Why are you dissatisfied with me! Jiamin just turned five years old, you Why did you hurt her!"

At this moment, Concubine Shu added fuel to the fire and said, "Why is it such a coincidence that just as Zhao Cairen pushed the maids around him away, he heard the sound of the princess falling into the water? How could this palace not encounter such a coincidence? "

After hearing this, Concubine Jin felt very reasonable, and immediately roared: "You bitch! Your Majesty, take her to the Punishment Department and see how long she can keep her mouth so hard?!"

Listening to Concubine Jin's words, the surrounding concubines all let out a low voice.
