Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 381
After Concubine Xing left, Concubine Xian sat on a chair, staring at the entrance of the hall in a daze, seeing her master's appearance, Linglong asked worriedly, "Your Majesty?"

"I'm fine." When she came back to her senses, Concubine Xian took a deep breath, only to realize that her clothes were already soaked through. For some reason, Concubine Xian felt inexplicably nervous when facing Concubine Xing. .

"You look for an opportunity to check the details of Concubine Xing." Concubine Xian didn't understand why Concubine Xing was so arrogant, could it be that Concubine Xing was not Concubine Xing as she thought?

It's not Concubine Xing, who is she?
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, not daring to think about it anymore...

…………

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty." Above the hall, Xiao Peng knelt down on the ground with a very respectful tone.

Seeing Xiao Peng like this, a light flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes very quickly. He looked at Xiao Peng who was kneeling in the hall, and after a while, he said lightly, "What does Xiao Xiang mean?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister is guilty. Seeing that the emperor's heirs are few, the minister thought of finding a virtuous woman for the emperor, and spread the leaves for the emperor, but he didn't expect that the one who was sent to the palace was a poisonous woman. It was the crime of the minister. Please forgive the empress."

Kneeling on the ground, Xiao Peng opened his mouth to report, with a sense of regret in his words.

However, after all, Jiang is old and hot, and what Xiao Peng said, he picked himself up quite cleanly.

Everyone knows that Emperor Jing's heirs are rare, and Xiao Peng tried to cover up his crimes in the name of being good to the emperor, which made Emperor Jing sneer secretly.

"Reporting to the emperor, the prime minister is also for the emperor, and I ask the emperor to show mercy to the empress because of the loyalty of the prime minister. No matter what, the empress is your first wife, and the empress is innocent."

As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, a minister immediately stood up and, together with Xiao Peng, interceded for the queen.

Of course, it wasn't just this one. After all, in the court, many people followed Xiao Peng.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Emperor Jing's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm. On the surface, these people seemed to be begging for mercy, but in fact, they were clearly trying to force him to release the empress in the name of begging. He grounded his feet and returned the phoenix seal to the queen.

A queen without a phoenix seal is not a queen...

"What do you mean, Zhuqing? Do you think that I did something wrong?" The tone was still light, but people could still hear the coldness contained in it.

"I dare not wait." As soon as Emperor Jing's words fell, Xiao Peng quickly spoke again and kowtowed to Emperor Jing.

"Since you dare not, what are you doing now?" Staring at Xiao Peng, Emperor Jing snorted coldly and asked him.

"Let me say, Mr. Zuoxiang, although you love your daughter dearly, you still have to distinguish right from wrong. Anyway, she was sent to the palace by your Xiao family. Even if what she did has nothing to do with your Xiao family, you still know people." Unclear."

"Furthermore, since you have entered the harem, no matter who you are, you should obey the empress's instructions. The empress's ineffective instruction caused that poisonous woman to repeatedly try to murder the emperor's heir, and even hurt the emperor. The emperor did not deal with your Xiao family. It's a favor, why are you still chattering here?"

Shen Chengzhong's voice came, and his words were full of disdain. Originally, he liked to fight against Xiao Peng. This time it was Xiao Peng's fault again, and Shen Chengzhong would naturally not let this opportunity pass.

"Shen Youxiang, you don't need to dictate the family affairs of the truth!" Xiao Peng felt aggrieved in his heart, he did not expect that the one he sent to the palace was actually a poisonous snake.

It has to be said that the vowels are disguised so well that even an old fox like Xiao Peng can't see the disguise of the vowels, so this kind of thing happens.

Xiao Peng has already received the letter written by the queen. Xiao Peng also knows about the fact that the queen was withdrawn from the Phoenix Seal and was confined to the Phoenix Palace.

Only when the queen is still a member of the Xiao family, it will be more convenient to do some things. He will be ready, just give him some time.

"Lord Zuoxiang, why are you so confused when you are young? This is the emperor's family business, where is your family business? Don't say I can't point fingers, even you can't point fingers."

After hearing Xiao Peng finish speaking, Shen Chengzhong didn't care. He spoke again and looked at Xiao Peng as if he was looking at a fool.

Seeing Shen Chengzhong's gaze, Xiao Peng's teeth itched in anger. If he were not in court, he really wanted to get up and slap Shen Chengzhong a few times.

Emperor Jing sat at the top and watched the back and forth between Xiao Peng and Shen Chengzhong. Emperor Jing was very satisfied with Shen Chengzhong repeatedly looking for trouble for Xiao Peng.

"Your Majesty, everything is the fault of this humble minister, and I also ask the emperor to remove the humble minister from the post of prime minister." Trying to suppress his anger, Xiao Peng faced Emperor Jing again and begged him.

"Master Zuo Xiang, absolutely not!" As soon as Xiao Peng's voice fell, a courtier turned pale with shock.

Emperor Jing looked at everything below, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Xiao Xiang, why are you doing this?"

"Your majesty, I have made up my mind. I also ask the emperor to remove my minister and forgive the empress." Although Emperor Jing didn't seem to blame the Xiao family, but he took back the queen's phoenix seal. Xiao Peng knew and wanted to In exchange for the queen's phoenix seal, some sacrifices must be made.

Even if he is not the prime minister, there will still be many people following him, besides, there are some things that need to be prepared.

In the court hall, there were still people helping Xiao Peng to plead guilty. Emperor Jing sat at the head of the court. After a long time, he finally spoke, "Since Xiang Xiang has made up his mind, I have no choice but to fulfill your wish."

These words made Xiao Peng, who was kneeling on the ground, grit his teeth. He had to say that the current emperor is more and more majestic and understands the art of the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bowing his head again, Xiao Peng's words sounded like he was gnashing his teeth, but Emperor Jing didn't care. The reason why he took back the empress's phoenix seal was what he wanted in today's court.

"However, Xiao Qing is the pillar of the country after all. Although I have been removed from the position of prime minister, I can't bear to let you stay idle at home. How about it, Xiao Qing will temporarily serve as the Minister of Rites."

Looking at Xiao Peng, Emperor Jing smiled and said, even though Xiao Peng was dissatisfied, he could only salute and thank him.

"Do you still want to play, Zhu Qing?" After Xiao Peng saluted, Emperor Jing looked at the people in the hall and asked, all the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no sound.

"If that's the case, let's retreat." After speaking, Emperor Jing stood up and walked towards the apse. Kang Ninghai shouted "Retreat", and then followed in Emperor Jing's footsteps and left the hall.
