Chapter 316
This time, Zhao Sijing straightened her back and knelt down in front of Chu Lixuan.
She must plead for Tingqin today. Firstly, Tingqin cannot move. She has a very important position in the palace and the prince's heart. If the prince thinks of Tingqin in the future, he will definitely blame her.
Secondly, it’s because Tingqin doesn’t know anything. He’s not saying anything now. It’s just that Tingqin’s brain was stunned. He hasn’t reacted yet, but if he doesn’t keep Tingqin, maybe Tingqin won’t be able to bear it later. , give her out.
The third one was also to test Chu Lixuan and see how far Chu Lixuan suspected her.
If Chu Lixuan was only slightly suspicious, he would definitely let the matter go because of her plea to Tingqin.
On the contrary, Tingqin's end will be miserable.
Zhao Sijing was betting on how much weight Chu Lixuan still had in saving Princess Su two years ago.
"Concubine, there is nothing we can't talk about properly. You should get up and talk first."
Chu Lixuan stared at Zhao Sijing, the scrutiny and coldness in his eyes slightly loosened.
"No! If the prince refuses to forgive Tingqin, I will keep kneeling here. I will never get up until I die."
Zhao Sijing smelled that Chu Lixuan was a little loose, and her attitude immediately became resolute. There were tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking at Chu Lixuan so pitifully.
Tingqin was behind Zhao Sijing, looking at Zhao Sijing struggling to plead for her, her eyes full of complexity.
Chu Lixuan asked, "Concubine, why are you doing this? After all, Tingqin is not who you are."
"Your Majesty, when I married into the palace, I didn't know anyone in the palace. Only Tingqin stayed with me. You have never been to my yard in the past two years, and it was Tingqin who comforted me.
To me, Grandma Wang is a slave and a dowry grandma, but to me, Tingqin is a sister. I absolutely cannot watch Tingqin being punished heavily or leaving my side like this.
Please give Tingqin another chance. If the prince does not agree, then I will be punished together with Tingqin. I am ashamed of the power that the prince has given me. "
After saying that, Zhao Sijing closed her eyes, as if she and Tingqin were advancing and retreating together.
Yue Lin advised from the side, "Concubine, please don't embarrass the prince."
Admittedly, Chu Lixuan had given up the idea of punishing Tingqin at this moment.
But what Zhao Sijing said just now was an offense to Chu Lixuan. She mentioned that Chu Lixuan had married her in the past two years and had not touched her, implying that she was very aggrieved.
Zhao Sijing raised her neck and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to use my life in exchange for Tingqin's safety."
Tingqin was extremely moved by these words at this moment. She was very uncomfortable and kept sobbing softly beside her.
And Tingqin secretly vowed in her heart that if she could save her life this time, she would be loyal to Zhao Sijing in everything, because she didn't know until now that her position in Zhao Sijing's heart was so important.
Zhao Sijing has always been gentle, but this is the first time she has shown such a determined look in front of him.
Tingqin and Zhao Sijing, Xiangxiang and Ning Muqing, have an unusual similarity at this moment.
Ning Muqing's stubborn face from last night flashed before Chu Lixuan's eyes, and he finally said, "Okay! I promise you to let Tingqin go."
"No, this matter has not been investigated clearly. Tingqin's motive for committing the crime is not clear. We cannot just let it go. If Tingqin really committed such a crime, even if she beheaded ten times, it would not be enough to offset the crime. It absolutely cannot be done. Let it go easily."
At this moment, Ning Muqing suddenly stood up and objected.
When Chu Lixuan saw Ning Muqing standing up to interrupt, a dark and unclear look flashed in his eyes. Does this woman like to jump out and go against him so much?
"Bold! Ning Muqing, this is a decision made by the king himself, and it is not your turn to comment."
Chu Lixuan had a straight face. Ning Muqing really didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. She opposed his decision time and time again. What qualifications did she have to stop him from making a decision?
Ning Muqing raised her lips coldly, glanced at Zhao Sijing and Tingqin, and said, "They are both human beings, so why can you forgive them so easily when Concubine Zhao is willing to protect Tingqin?
But if it were my Xiangxiang, you would still attack her even though she had done nothing wrong. Until now, I don’t know whether Xiangxiang is alive or dead.
Tingqin committed such a heinous crime, and you want to forgive Concubine Zhao just for saying a few words. Chu Lixuan, you are too outrageous. Aren't you afraid at all that if this matter gets spread,
Everyone says that you dote on your concubines and destroy your wives, and you are harsh on your first wife, but you are so tolerant of a concubine! So I don’t agree with the matter of forgiving Tingqin. If you insist on doing so, don’t blame me for being dissatisfied! "
Ning Muqing's words were so sharp that everyone trembled with fear.
Zhao Sijing stared at Ning Muqing hatefully, why! ! Why does this woman keep ruining her good things! She just wanted to kill Ning Muqing, the kind that would be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.
Chu Lixuan suddenly walked up to Ning Muqing. His voice was as low as a blade and he said, "Because Concubine Zhao is different from you. She didn't use despicable means to marry me. It's me who owes her." of kindness.”
"Chu Lixuan, if you treat Xiangxiang and Tingqin differently today, I will definitely tell Concubine Su about this matter and let Concubine Su make the decision for me."
Ning Muqing vowed to do so.
Treating others the way they treat others is her way of doing things.
Last night, Zhao Sijing did not let Xiangxiang go. She has not forgotten what happened to Xiangxiang. Today, she must let them know that there is a price to pay for dealing with her, Ning Muqing.
If she dares to bully Xiangxiang, she will definitely make Zhao Sijing a hundred times more miserable than Xiangxiang.
"Ning Muqing, I've really turned against you now!" Chu Lixuan gritted his teeth. Concubine Su was his weakness. Now that his condition had just recovered, Chu Lixuan didn't want to irritate Concubine Su because of this kind of thing. He said with a cold face. , "What do you want?"
If Princess Su knew about this, she would definitely help Ning Muqing, so Chu Lixuan simply agreed to Ning Muqing's conditions.
If Concubine Su's illness didn't require Ning Muqing now, Chu Lixuan would definitely make Ning Muqing look good.
Ning Muqing said coldly, "What I want to do is easy to do and very simple. I want you to let Xiangxiang go and let Xiangxiang return to me intact. If you can do it, what will you listen to Qin today?" I won’t delve into the matter any further.
However, in order to achieve the purpose of deterring other children, you still can't let Tingqin go so easily. Tingqin must be punished. You can give her a light punishment for the sake of her dead parents and brother.
But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. In addition to losing all of Tingqin's property, I also want her to write a deed of sale to me. The dowry of Concubine Zhao must also be handed over to me. The rest Just punish her by kneeling in the yard for a day and a night. "
After hearing Ning Muqing's list of requests, Chu Lixuan couldn't help but grit his teeth. After all this woman said, she had only one purpose in the final analysis - to rescue Xiangxiang.
I really didn't expect that Ning Muqing, a person with such deep affection and righteousness, would go to such a step to save Xiangxiang.
Speaking of which, Chu Lixuan was also very angry.
The main reason why he didn't let Xiang Xiang go was because he wanted to see Ning Muqing submit, but he didn't know that this woman was like a stone, refusing to submit at all.
Not only did he not beg for mercy, he did not kneel down, he did not even shed a single tear.
Ning Muqing's refusal to lower her attitude made Chu Lixuan have to wonder whether Ning Muqing really wanted to save Xiangxiang.
Zhao Sijing is completely different from Ning Muqing. She is very weak. In order to successfully save Tingqin, she will beg for mercy as much as she wants.
That's why Chu Lixuan relented.
After a brief moment of anger, Chu Lixuan thought of Ning Muqing's actions and step by step, and his mentality changed slightly.
She never wanted to be a humble person who wanted, but she knew how to use her intelligence and wisdom step by step to achieve her goal, and finally made him agree to release Xiangxiang.
The initiative is always in Ning Muqing's own hands.
Chu Lixuan had to admit that Ning Muqing was indeed very smart, so smart that it exceeded his expectations, and he began to appreciate Ning Muqing.
"The king promises you! Come here! Pass on the king's order to release Xiangxiang from the woodshed and let her come back to serve the princess."
Chu Lixuan gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Muqing with hatred in his eyes.
After receiving Chu Lixuan's confirmed instructions, Ning Muqing's heart finally dropped.
In this game with Chu Lixuan, Ning Muqing watched with cold eyes and allowed the situation to develop, carefully guiding her opponent to her trap step by step. She looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was very nervous inside.
If she were not careful, she might not be able to rescue Xiangxiang, and would also make Chu Lixuan wary, making it harder to rescue Xiangxiang from now on.
Fortunately, her calculations and control of people's hearts were quite accurate, and the balance of victory ultimately fell to her side.
Now Ning Muqing has won a great victory. She not only rescued Xiangxiang, but also established her prestige in front of everyone in the palace. After defeating Zhao Sijing, she has secured her position as the mistress of the palace!
