The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 288

Li Dingkang felt his heart sink when he heard the maid's words. At this moment, the maid's exclamation sounded from behind him: "Mother, why did you come out!"

Li Dingkang turned around in response, and saw Concubine Xie came to the garden with a slightly red face and dazed eyes. The two court ladies had already stepped forward quickly, supporting her from left to right.

When Concubine Xie saw Li Dingkang, she was startled for a moment, then she bowed and saluted and said, "My concubine greets His Highness the Crown Prince, best wishes to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Concubine Xie was fine, Li Dingkang heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward to support her lovingly and said, "I heard that you were drunk, so I came here to see you, but I still feel unwell now!"

Concubine Xie lowered her eyes gently, shook her head shyly and said: "The concubine came back and drank the hangover soup, and she was fine after a short rest. I just felt thirsty and called several times, but no one answered, so I came here." To the garden!"

The older maid who answered Li Dingkang's words first heard the words and panicked and said: "Your maidservant deserves to die. Just now, when I saw that your mother was sleeping deeply, she dismissed all the people in the palace. It's my servant who didn't think carefully, so please punish me!"

Concubine Xie shook her head gently and said: "It has nothing to do with you, so don't be so frightened." After she finished speaking, she found Mrs. Liu, when her eyes passed over Mrs. Liu and stopped on the shocked looking palace maid behind Mrs. Liu, She asked with a puzzled smile: "I remember you, you are the maid serving in Taoxian Palace. When the sisters and ladies and ladies poured wine on me just now, it was Mrs. Liu who helped me relieve the siege and called two The maids sent me back to the East Palace, and she was one of them, I remember very clearly, when this maid smiled, she had a pair of dimples on her cheeks, she was very cute."

Concubine Xie's words made Li Dingkang's eyes fixed on the maid's face. Apart from the shocked expression on the maid's face, there was a complex look of fear, and Concubine Xie didn't scold him. This maid, why does she show such a look!
At this time, the young maid next to Concubine Xie smiled innocently and cutely, and said crisply: "Your Majesty, this elder sister is really good at joking, Your Majesty, you are obviously resting in the room, how could you appear in the room with a strange man?" Xihua Palace, and what kind of intimacy is there!"

As soon as the little maid's words came out, Mrs. Liu recovered from the shock. She only felt her heart sinking violently. He said in his arms: "His Royal Highness, the concubine has never been to the Xihua Palace, and the concubine does not know why this maid wants to frame the concubine, and begs the concubine to be the master of the concubine."

Every time Concubine Xie showed aggrieved eyes and showed a pitiful and charming attitude, Li Dingkang would be confused by him, and this time was naturally not good. When he saw such Concubine Xie, his heart was filled with infinite Ai Lian: "I have been wronged by my concubine. I believe in my concubine, so I will take my concubine to Xihua Palace. I want to see how this court lady can lie for herself."

Xie side concubine heard the words, a successful smile appeared on her face, she winked at her court lady from an angle that Li Dingkang could not see, and the court lady knew how to quickly step forward to catch the maid who sent the message, At the same time, Concubine Xie looked at Mrs. Liu provocatively, and there was strong sarcasm in those charming eyes, as if she was telling Mrs. Liu that she wanted to plot against her, but in the end she didn't know who was being plotted against!

"Mother-in-law, I have something to deal with here, you should go back to the banquet first!" Li Dingkang didn't associate the matter with Mrs. Liu, so he said to Mrs. Liu.

Concubine Xie naturally refused to agree when she heard the words, so she said softly: "Your Highness, the concubine has heard that Madam Liu has always been fair, and she is an elder, if you don't invite Madam Liu to go with you, you can also testify for the concubine."

Li Dingkang obeyed Xie Concubine's words: "Mother-in-law, since the concubine loves you, you can go to Xihua Palace together!"

Faced with such a request, Mrs. Liu wanted to refuse, but she couldn't. She could only bite the bullet and said, "His Royal Highness begs, I will naturally go together."

So a group of people went to Xihua Hall, and Madam Liu's uneasiness grew bigger and bigger along the way, but she couldn't show it on her face at all, otherwise she would definitely give Concubine Xie a chance to discredit her.

As expected, there was a person guarding outside the Xihua Palace, and Concubine Xie knew it, so she deliberately exclaimed: "Why are you here? I remember that you are a maid from Taoxian Palace, one of the maids who sent me back to the East Palace!"

"Your Majesty, this elder sister said just now that she is the cleaning lady of the Xihua Palace, not on duty in the Peach Immortal Palace!" The young maid behind Xie Fangfei said again crisply.

Concubine Xie looked at Mrs. Liu with a puzzled expression when she heard the words: "Madam, you arranged the banquet at the Taoxian Palace. You should know best whether these two maids are on duty at the Taoxian Palace!"

"They are maids on duty in Taoxian Palace, but I don't know why they lie!" Mrs. Liu could no longer maintain her composure, and even lied a little.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is something really going on in this palace, let's go in and have a look!" Concubine Xie took a full view of Liu Fu's expression, a vicious look flashed in her eyes, and she said to Li Dingkang in a soft tone.

Hearing this, Li Dingkang nodded again and again, and hugged side concubine Xie into the Xihua Palace. Mrs. Liu slowed them a few steps, and after warning the two maids with her eyes, she quickly followed into the main hall of Xihua Palace.

Due to the fact that no one has lived there for many years, the entire Xihua Palace is gloomy and cold. Concubine Xie cuddled up to Li Dingkang tightly pretending to be afraid. The main hall was silent, and there was a dead silence all around. He just looked at the two maids with displeasure and said, "Are you trying to play tricks on me, don't say that Concubine Xie is always in the East Palace, even this Xihua Palace doesn't even have a personality."

The two maids shrank their heads when they heard the words, and looked around uneasily. There is no back door in the Xihua Palace, and if people go in, if they want to leave, they have to go through the main door. Go out, besides, the original plan of the Crown Princess was to call someone after an hour, but Mrs. Liu sent someone to pass the news to them as soon as possible. Now that things are not right, they don’t know how to justify themselves. Confess, otherwise, the lives of the whole family will definitely not be saved.

"Your Highness, these two maids must be joking with the concubine's maid, but they didn't expect you to return to the palace early, Your Highness." Concubine Xie looked at the two maids and said innocently. Li Dingkang, who has practiced martial arts for many years and has much better hearing than ordinary people, heard a very slight voice, which was like the delicate voice of a woman when she did that. To prevent himself from hearing it wrong, he told Xie The side concubine made a silent movement, Xie side concubine hurriedly covered her bright red mouth with interest.
