After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 48 Pressing forward step by step

Hearing this, the concubine panicked and knelt down to clear the relationship: "Your Majesty, my concubine's love for the emperor is comparable to the bright moon. How could she do such evil things? Someone must have framed me. Your Majesty, you must be my concubine." Make the decision!”

She was carried back to Qiankun Palace from Yangxin Palace by Wei Weiran last night. This alone was enough to make her the laughing stock of the entire harem.

Now that something like this happened again, not to mention who the culprit was, the doll was found in Qiankun Palace. Even if it wasn't her, she would be despised by the emperor and be forgotten from then on.

This play felt familiar to her.

In the previous life, this was Jiang Chunyu's plan, which was implemented by Mu Guiren and framed by Concubine Shu. If she hadn't found out about these two people, how would they have been willing to use her and even aggressively killed them later? Concubine Shu and Princess Ying'an.

But now, at the same time point, this drama has fallen on her.

If there was no help behind this, she would not believe it.

It's just that the top priority is not to figure out why this happened, but how to clear oneself of suspicion.

Cursing the current emperor would be fatal no matter in real history or in the fictional Daling Dynasty. She might even bring down the Hua family because of her.

In addition to her, Mu Guiren also knelt down from the back in fear, crying anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know why I found these things in the Chengqian Palace. Furthermore, if it is really my concubine who did this, I will definitely not put these things openly and openly outside the palace wall. Isn’t this unnecessary? Your Majesty, please be careful and make the decision for me and the Concubine!"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu glanced at Mu Guiren twice.

Previously, she had always thought that Mu Guiren was a big-breasted and brainless type, but now it seems that she is not brainless, but she does not want to spend her mind on the harem fight. She is filled with the emperor's favor.

This last sentence clearly brought her and Concubine Xian together. If the emperor believed in Concubine Xian, he would subconsciously think that she was wronged, and she would naturally be cleared of suspicion.

The women in this harem are really very sophisticated.

You can tell at a glance who the most important person in the emperor's heart is.

Emperor Qingling remained silent, raised his eyes and said, "Where is Young Master Jiang? Bring him up."

Concubine Shu glanced at Emperor Qing Ling silently, then looked away without saying a word.

He was really affectionate towards Concubine Xian.

Even though we are all at this point, we are still subconsciously showing partiality.

I'm afraid that even he himself didn't realize that his heart was biased.

Wei Xin replied: "Wei Chen has sent someone to invite you."

Inside the Qiankun Palace, it was quiet and cold.

The faint sobbing sounds of Concubine Xian and Guiren Mu came one after another. Emperor Qingling raised his forehead and wondered what he was thinking.

At this moment, the voice of Chief Manager Cheng of the Longevity Palace sounded outside the palace: "The Queen Mother has arrived——"

Emperor Qing Ling suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Xian kneeling on the ground, his eyebrows frowning unconsciously.

Concubine Shu also glanced at Concubine Xian, with a cold look on her face.

The Queen Mother intervened at this time. Could it be that she wanted to beat the concubine to death with a stick?
  In an instant, all the concubines in the courtyard knelt down, and Emperor Qingling also stood up respectfully and bowed: "I have seen the emperor's mother."

"I have met the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed and safe."

The figure of the Queen Mother appeared, and at first glance, she looked at Concubine Shu.

"Shu Fei, the Ai family wants you to supervise the work, why don't you take the Ai family's words seriously? Even if the concubine Xian left Guangling Palace and caused this trouble for nothing, if the emperor has any shortcomings, how should you deal with the Ai family? Are you going to give an explanation to the world?" Although she was blaming, her tone was concern.

In those words, he was clearly worried that Concubine Shu would get into trouble.

For a moment, the hearts of everyone present were in their throats.

Especially Xian concubine.

Isn’t the Queen Mother the Queen’s aunt? Why are you now on Concubine Shu's side?

Concubine Shu nodded and replied dully: "If I make a mistake as a concubine, please ask the Queen Mother to punish me."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother waved her hands and said nonchalantly: "That's all, you have good intentions. The Emperor has issued an order. As a concubine, how can you resist and disobey it?"

Emperor Qingling took over the conversation and said, "Your Majesty, taking Concubine Xian away from Guangling Palace is my business and has nothing to do with Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian."

The Queen Mother looked at him and said seriously: "Emperor, it's not what the Ai family said about you. Rewards and punishments have always been appropriate, but instead of punishing the concubine, you stopped the Ai family from punishing her. If you spoil her like this, you will spoil her. bad."

As she spoke, she glanced at the concubine beside her as if she was not there.

Xianbi couldn't speak to defend herself, so she could only listen passively.

After all, no one dared to interrupt the conversation between the Queen Mother and the Emperor at this time.

When Emperor Qingling heard the Empress Dowager talking about Concubine Xian, his love and protection that had declined suddenly rose again. In this harem, there was no Concubine Xian. In fact, even the Queen Mother now regarded her as a concubine. A thorn in the flesh.

If he continues to put this matter on Concubine Xian without explanation, how will she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?
  He turned around in displeasure, sat on his seat and said: "Empress Huang, if you come here to help me manage the harem, I will welcome you with both hands, but I don't understand. Concubine Xian is pure and kind, the most docile. Why is Empress Huang so?" Are you always holding on to her?"

When he said this, he raised his eyes and looked directly at the Queen Mother.

This glance did not suppress his imperial anger at all.

The Queen Mother looked back without fear. Suddenly, a strange aura spread between mother and son.

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and said nothing, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

Concubine Shu spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty, your soothing soup is almost cold, drink it while it's still hot."

She interrupted the game between the two of them, and Emperor Qing Ling looked back at her and forced out a rather deliberate smile.

He picked up the soothing soup, lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "Empress, the queen is now banned by you, Concubine Shu's Ying'an is raised by you in the palace, and the concubine is punished by you for kneeling under your excuse. Now the harem has discovered this... Evil thing, you are here to interfere, those who know think you care about your son, those who don’t know think you want power!"

Emperor Qing Ling's words really did not save any face for the Queen Mother.

Even, armed with a gun and a stick, they pressed forward step by step.

The Queen Mother's face turned red. She didn't know whether she was angry or was really hurt.

She pointed at Emperor Qing Ling and said with a rather hurt expression: "The Ai family is your mother-in-law, and you actually spoke like this in front of the concubines in the harem! Emperor, do you really treat this filial piety as a display?"

Emperor Qing Ling drank the soothing soup and glanced at Wei Weiran.

Wei Weiran nodded, walked to the side of the Queen Mother, lowered his eyes and said: "The Queen Mother, the emperor is in a bad mood today, please don't take it personally. If something like this happens in the harem, the emperor will naturally be depressed. Why don't you go back to the Longevity Palace first, and after the emperor has finished handling the matter at hand and thought clearly about it, he will definitely come to you in person to apologize."

The Queen Mother didn't say to leave, nor did she say not to leave. She just glanced at the concubine and sneered: "She is such a charming girl, but she is worth the risk of disturbing the imperial court to protect her! How stupid!"
