The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 305
As soon as Xiang'er's words came out, it was the turn of Concubine Ge and the second prince to change their expressions this time. Concubine Ge had a bad temper, and when she saw Xiang'er betraying herself, she rushed forward and gave Xiang'er a slap in the face.

Five fingerprints appeared on Xiang'er's left face in an instant. Seeing this, the queen stepped forward quickly, protected Xiang'er behind her, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "Sister Ge, what do you mean? Do you only allow Xiang'er to say that the prince Isn't it?"

The status of the queen is there, even if Concubine Ge has a bad temper, she doesn't dare to do anything to the queen, so she regained her composure, took a step back and whispered: "I don't dare, it's just that this girl is slandering my concubine. The concubine got angry for a moment, and then hit her."

The queen ignored Concubine Ge, and only said to Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, I asked you, you said that Concubine Ge ordered you to do everything, and you have evidence."

Xiang'er tremblingly took out a token from her bosom and said: "Both the parents of the servant girl were arrested by the Ge family. Concubine Ge threatened the slave servant with the servant's family. This token was dropped by the Ge family in the slave servant's house." Yes, the servant girl was ordered by Concubine Xu to go out of the palace a few days ago, there should be a record at the gate of the palace, this token was found by the servant girl when she quietly returned home while taking the opportunity to leave the palace."

The queen took the token from Xianger's hand, and her expression changed: "This is the token of the Ge family, but it doesn't prove anything. This kind of token must be very common in the Ge family. Maybe whoever stole it can say indefinite."

The Queen's words immediately stopped Concubine Ge's words to refute, and Xiang'er eagerly said, "Ms. Queen, all the slaves have been recruited. Concubine Ge gave a lot of gold and silver to the slaves. Otherwise, how could the slaves do it for her?" To do business, in fact, among the things that Concubine Ge gave, there is a step, which is owned by Concubine Ge in the palace, this should prove that what the servant girl said is true." Xiang'er took out a sparrow feather step from her bosom. Shake, Concubine Ge's face immediately changed when she saw that Bu Yao.

The Queen took the Bu Yao, looked at Ge Concubine Ge with a threatening gaze, and said, "Sister Ge, this Bu Yao was specially ordered by the craftsman to make it for you when you entered the palace. This is only for Sister Ge. You have, what else do you have to say now."

"Sister, you gave this to me. How could I give it away? This court lady must have taken the opportunity to frame me. Sister, you can't believe her one-sided words." Concubine Ge was completely panicked. I don't care about Li Dingkang, I just think about how to get rid of myself.

"Yes, this is a gift from my palace. Even if you don't like it, you won't give it to others." The queen looked at the Bu Yao in her hand and said to herself.

At this time, I heard Xiang'er eagerly said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ge's palace has always been rigorous, and the servant girl is a small maid, not to mention sneaking into the Sydney Palace, even the gate of the Sydney Palace can't get close, how can the servant steal it?" This step, take ten thousand steps back, even if the servants sneak into the Xueli Palace, if they want to steal it, they will still take the gold and silver, what do you want to do with this step, you can't wear it, and you can't take it out of the palace to sell it." Xiang'er There is a subtext in this statement, what she means is that she is just a low-status court lady, and she has endless work every day, so she has time to do such things as stealing, and even if it is stealing, she should steal gold if she wants to steal. Yin, what are you doing stealing Bu Yao, who is a symbol of identity, and telling others that she is a thief in disguise?
At this point in the matter, there is actually no need for any more evidence, because Concubine Ge is already inseparable from the poisoning of the prince. She brought the man, so could the queen buy it off on the spot!

"Xiang'er, don't say any more, you step back first." The queen interrupted Xiang'er in a timely manner, as if she was trying her best to cover up something for Concubine Ge.

Xiang'er opened her mouth when she heard the words, and finally closed her mouth aggrieved and stepped aside.But the queen looked at Concubine Ge and said, "Sister, the lord is sick in bed now. You don't want to help the lord recover, but you come here to hurt the prince. The second prince was born only an hour later than the prince. I know that You have been unconvinced all these years, and you only want to support the second prince to become the crown prince, but the crown prince was canonized by the king himself, are you questioning the king's decision?"

Concubine Ge was taken aback by the queen's sudden questioning, and immediately panicked: "Sister, I don't, I, I really don't." Concubine Ge is not stupid, she knows that Xiang'er will suddenly change her words It must be that the queen has already held the ironclad evidence that she poisoned the prince. This matter is really going to be exposed, and she and the second prince will not get along well.

"The matter of the crown prince supervising the country is settled in this way." The queen ignored Concubine Ge, but first announced to the ministers the matter of Li Dingkang supervising the country. Then she looked at Concubine Ge and reprimanded her: "Sister Ge, today's matter I don’t want to delve into it with you, you go back to the Sydney Palace and think about the past. Now the king is sick, and several princes, including the crown prince, take turns to serve the king in front of the sick bed to show filial piety.”

The princes were all in the Imperial Palace. After hearing what the queen said, they did not dare to refute, and responded one after another: "I obey."

Concubine Ge was unwilling to reconcile, but with so many ministers watching, she couldn't say anything more, she just winked secretly at her brother and nephew, and then withdrew from the Imperial Palace.

Because the incident also involved Concubine Xu, the fourth prince hurried to the Yuli Palace after he came down to court, but when he reached the Imperial Garden, he was blocked by Madam Yang, who was forced to divert to Fenglin Palace.

In Fenglin Hall, Concubine Xu was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, while the queen was sitting high on the phoenix seat, and Concubine Le stood by her side.

As soon as the fourth prince entered the main hall, he felt an overwhelming pressure. He stepped forward to salute with a respectful expression: "Greetings to the empress."

The expression on the queen's face was much softer, and she said softly to the fourth prince: "Excuse me!" After speaking, she looked at Concubine Xu who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "You too, get up!"

The fourth prince hastily stretched out his hand to support Concubine Xu, and then asked softly: "My queen, I don't know what my concubine did wrong to make you so angry."

In front of the fourth prince, the queen did not shy away, and replied directly: "In order to win favor, your mother and concubine not only lit a lot of aphrodisiac incense when she was sleeping, but also added a lot of aphrodisiac to the tea that your father drank. That's why the father went into shock."

The fourth prince did not expect that the matter was related to his mother and concubine. He looked at Concubine Xu with questioning eyes, and saw Concubine Xu nodded in shame. Such a shameful thing really made her ashamed, so she She didn't dare to look at the fourth prince, she was afraid that her own son would also look down on her.

After getting confirmation from Concubine Xu, the fourth prince's eyes flashed with anxiety. This matter is not a trivial matter. The father is the lord of a country, and the dragon's body is damaged. Concubine, if this news gets out, how will the concubine mother behave in the future!
