The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 457 Bloody Birthday Feast (12)
Qingchen hurriedly supported the table to get up and blessed him, and said: "When I came back to the empress, the concubine had been thinking about the appearance of the maid just now, but the concubine really only saw a blurry background, and the dress and hair style of the maids were all the same. Yes, the concubine really can't identify who it is based on the back view alone. I also ask the empress to forgive me, I am afraid that the concubine will not be able to help."

Xiao Jun no longer had the patience to sit down at this moment. The scandals in the palace were one after another, which really made him very angry. He got up and hugged Qingchen, and turned to the queen and said: "Queen, I will leave the rest to you and the queen." Concubine Ning, let's deal with it, I really can't stand it anymore, if the trial continues, what kind of unbearable burial will happen, I can't even imagine."

"Your majesty..." The empress wanted to say a few words of consolation, but it can be seen that the emperor has already strode out of the main hall, and there is no way to keep her, so she had to bless her body and say: "The concubine obeys the order, and the concubine respectfully sends the emperor off."

Long Nian had already been waiting outside, Xiao Jun carried Qing Chen into the sedan chair and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me about today's incident?"

Qingchen was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about these things anymore. With the Empress and Concubine Ning around, you can always clarify the matter. As for the concubines, although they have suffered some small grievances, the concubines are not concerned. Don't care, let the matter pass. Since Xue Wanrong has received the due punishment, Feng Wanrong's side, I believe the empress will also comfort her well, so don't worry about it anymore, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jun leaned against the car window, squinted her eyes slightly, and said slowly: "At least I didn't get you involved. Let me ask you, is there really a sandalwood scent on the gold and silver thread?"

Qingchen knew that there was no need to hide it from him, and said with a wry smile: "Since the emperor has sent Eunuch Fu to call people in person, he naturally knows that there is no sandalwood scent on the silk thread, and the concubine just wants to take advantage of Yunxin's survival psychology."

At that time, if the emperor hadn't said that he spared Yunxin's life, she would have asked the empress to let Yunxin confess and be lenient.But I didn't expect the emperor to see her intentions with such a tacit understanding, which saved her a lot of effort.

The smile on the corners of Xiao Jun's lips was light, she looked cold and frightening, and her tone was very gloomy, "Today's incident, it seems that it has been planned for a long time. Their hearts are more vicious than the other. If I didn't see it with my own eyes , I really can’t believe it.”

The emperor's tone was very distressed, and he slapped the seat heavily, "Slender woman, how can you act so viciously!"

Qingchen held his hand tightly, as if it was a way of consolation, "Don't be angry, your majesty, the sky is watching, Xue Wanrong has already been punished for harming others and herself, your majesty, don't get angry because of a fool In this busy world, you still count on the emperor to support you, a small concubine in the harem is not worthy of the emperor's distress."

"I'm just afraid of hurting you." The emperor's hand caressed her cheek, and his eyes became much gentler, "I know you won't do such a thing, you are kind, and that girl of yours is also a kind-hearted girl." You are a child, it is so hard to be tricked by others, and it almost hurts you."

Qingchen said softly: "It's not wrong to repay her kindness, so how can I bear to blame her? After Qinxue has gone through this time, she will be more careful and cautious in the future."

Xiao Jun glanced at her and said with a sneer: "I didn't say that I would punish her, you should excuse her first, forget it, you should discipline the slaves in your palace yourself. I looked at Tonghua Palace with cold eyes. Those servants, except for Yun Lan, although Jin Xin has a bit of a bad temper, she still has her own ideas, after all, she doesn't have the temper of being submissive like you. Others, don't worry about it."

Qingchen smiled and said: "It turns out that the emperor looks down on the concubines and concubines so much, and even the concubines can't get into the eyes of the emperor, let alone those servants?"

Xiao Jun embraced her in his arms and sighed softly, "How can I look down on you, the people in Tonghua Palace have always made me feel clean and comfortable, if all my concubines are as pure and kind as you, I will How much worry do I have to save? I'm just a little worried. It's fine if you don't have a plan, and you almost take the blame for others if you are cheated. If slaves are like this, you will be tired sooner or later!"

Qingchen raised her eyes and asked with a smile: "Is the emperor not aware of the contradiction? I hope that the servants serving my concubines will be loyal and kind, but I also don't want them to be too scheming. The emperor really made things difficult for them."

But how many people who are thoughtful do not plan for themselves?Such a slave doesn't worry about using it.

Xiao Jun closed her eyes and said calmly: "I'm not embarrassing them, I just want to protect you. I don't want to have a second time for something like today."

Qingchen responded softly, "Don't worry, your majesty, my concubine will be careful in the future."

In the Jinhua Palace, everyone's mood faded as soon as the emperor left. As for where the dancing shoes came from, the empress was at a loss as to where to start.

There was no clue for the time being, and seeing the crowd chattering and being upset, the queen directly ordered: "Let's stop here for today's banquet. Concubine Ning will follow me to Duanfu Palace. Everyone else should leave."

Concubine Ning followed the queen out of the hall, and softly analyzed as she walked: "Empress, today's matter is very clear. There is more than one person who inquired about the style and color of Feng Wanrong's dancing shoes from the sewing room. It was Concubine Rong who saw it." The little maid who arrived changed Feng Wanrong's shoes first, and after she left the side hall, the little eunuch Xue Wanrong sent to change the shoes that had already been changed once. There are plenty of dancers out there."

The queen said anxiously: "What's the use of saying this now? I always feel that maybe Concubine Rong doesn't know, or maybe she doesn't want to say it. There is no evidence, even if she testifies, she may not have a chance of winning. She has always been cautious. It’s not impossible not to offend people for no reason like this.”

Concubine Ning smiled slightly and said: "If it's what the empress thinks, and she doesn't want to say it, then we have nothing to do, can't we? Since the shoes are outside the palace, I feel that we should ask about the shoes that have been out of the palace in the last month. The father-in-law who bought it, who has seen this pair of shoes, as long as they know who brought them in, they can know where the shoes are going, right?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but when something like this happens, who would take the initiative to admit that they have committed a crime?" The queen held Zheyue's hand, still frowning, "I think it's better to offer a huge reward to let them It is still possible to expose each other."

Concubine Ning nodded, "What the empress said is that it is human nature to forget righteousness when seeing profit, so it is better to let someone do it immediately. The emperor is very annoyed by this matter, and the concubine also wants to investigate this matter clearly earlier. , Give the emperor an explanation, otherwise the emperor may be dissatisfied with the empress and his concubines."
