The reborn woman returns

Chapter 44

"Xue Chengbi, you are so presumptuous!" The Queen listened to Concubine Xue's sarcastic remarks, and the anger squeezed from the bottom of her heart was suddenly aroused, and she said sharply: "Is there any reason for you to mutilate the concubine?"

Seeing this situation, Huo Hanyan immediately lowered her head and looked at her nose, nose and heart. The empress and concubine are so confrontational, after all, it is the emperor's housework, and if there is anything wrong, he will be angered.Hey~ There are three thousand in the harem, and the court and the harem can move the whole body. How can anyone be able to do the throne of emperor.This empress is the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, who is the head of civil servants and has a high status among the people; Concubine Xue Gui is the eldest daughter of Duke Wei, who also holds millions of soldiers in his hands. unstable.

"Okay, what's the proper way to yell in front of me?" Emperor Yongtai's face was ugly, his brows were wrinkled, his eyes were faintly tired, and he rolled up his index finger knuckles and rubbed his forehead.

Seeing that Emperor Yongtai was so partial to Concubine Xue Gui, the queen stepped forward two steps and walked in front of Emperor Yongtai, her words were quite fierce. "Your majesty, this matter can be big or small. If it gets out of the palace, how will the court talk about this big harem?!" The queen's eyes were burning, and she looked at Concubine Xue Gui who was beside the emperor without any concealment, her eyes were full of embarrassment. It's all about resentment.

"Then what will the queen do?" Emperor Yongtai put down his index finger, his eyes were a little sharp, and the queen did not see the faint disgust in the eyes of the emperor.Emperor Yongtai's thin lips parted slightly, and his brows raised. "The empress wants me to condemn the imperial concubine because of the words of the maid today?"

The queen with her head down suddenly looked at the emperor in disbelief. Could it be that she should handle it so lightly?
"Your Majesty, you should find out the truth and the root cause, so that you can be worthy of that poor Zeng Xiuyi who died in vain." The queen persuaded her earnestly, her heart was secretly sad, now is the time to punish Xue Chengbi with an excuse, why are you still hesitating, your majesty?Could it be that Xue Yan really has to wait until Xue Yan grows into a snake eagle and has full wings before starting to touch the Xue family?She couldn't hold back the grief in her heart, and murmured to herself: "Your Majesty, you know how miserable it is for Zeng Xiuyi to die without looking at his eyes in peace."

Emperor Yongtai rolled up his index finger, tapped the table with his knuckles, glanced at everyone expressionlessly and said: "Queen, Princess Huo has already explained the cause of this matter, why do you hold on to it?"

Huo Hanyan, whose name was called, frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was very delicate.In the memory of my previous life, the emperor was very shrewd in controlling the government. Minister Wei's eldest son was later sentenced to death for the crime of disobedience. .It seems that every step of the way is a coincidence, and the royal family's calculations are unknown.Thinking of these things, Huo Hanyan felt a little guilty and disappointed. Although he was living a new life and had a lesson to look forward to, it was hard to guarantee that he would escape from becoming a pawn of the superior in this life.

The queen looked at the emperor's eyes, knowing that this matter would not be resolved, her complexion instantly turned ashen, and her movements were stiff and slow, as if all the energy and energy in her body had been dissipated, "I understand, my minister Concubine...resign."

"Go down." Emperor Yongtai waved his hands and watched the queen leave with a confused expression.

The queen walked down the steps step by step, and walked outside the door, mocking secretly in her heart.I am so stupid, after so many years, I still believe what the emperor said back then.Doting on Concubine Xue is just to control the court, now Concubine Xue is used to doting on the six palaces, apart from her weakness of having no children, what aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation are comparable to her as a queen.

When she walked to the side of the kneeling lady in plain clothes, the maid who had been a little afraid suddenly grabbed her by the hem of her clothes and cried out in mournful despair: "Your empress, you can't go. Empress empress, you are the master of the six palaces, my empress The grievances have not been cleared~"

What is the difference between the tear-stained court lady kneeling in front of her, her head bowed in grief and resentment, and her inner self?The queen gently pulled her hand away, and the lip line raised a slight arc, and then disappeared in an instant. "I beg the emperor." What's the use of begging yourself?Is he still the master of the six palaces?Heh~heh~ In the blink of an eye, he walked out the door without hesitation.

Seeing the queen's figure disappearing outside the door, the palace maid in plain clothes burst into tears, knelt and climbed a few steps towards the throne, kowtowed non-stop, making her last plea. "Your Majesty, my empress really died unjustly. It is indeed the imperial concubine who was naked and carved on her body, causing her to die tragically, Your Majesty!" Seeing that the Emperor just frowned and was not moved, he turned his eyes to Huo Hanyan who was at the side, pleading But there was a gloomy coldness and resentment. "Princess, although the princess has offended the princess, but the princess has lied to the truth so much, isn't she afraid that the princess will ask for retribution from the princess in her dream at midnight?"

When Huo Hanyan heard the word retribution, she suddenly raised her head to see the gaze of the court lady in Su Yi, her body trembled, and the scenes of those wronged souls entangled with Xue Shaochen in the previous life suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, her body softened immediately, and she wanted to take two steps back, but was stopped by someone .With an imperceptible glance at the end of her eyes, she found that it was Xue Yan who was blocking her. Seeing this situation, Xue Yan stepped forward and embraced her unobtrusively. He noticed her trembling body, and hurriedly used his wide sleeves to cover it up. Hold her hand tightly.Let her calm down, wrap Huo Hanyan with her warm and slightly moist hands, regained her senses, Huo Hanyan saw that Xue Yan was about to step forward to scold him, and quickly held Xue Yan's hand tightly, refusing to let him take half a step forward.

Huo Hanyan stopped Xue Shaochen on this side, but it was the noble concubine who made trouble on the other side.

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xue looked at the maids on the ground as if she was looking at a dead object, "Princess Dehui's funeral is imminent, I did ask for a little punishment, but I didn't take her life, I don't know why she committed suicide." Concubine Xue stared at her with a sneer, and said sharply: "I don't care whether you believe it or not." Why should she explain too much to a servant girl when she is a dignified concubine.

"Okay, Zeng Xiuyi's service to me is considered meritorious, so he was posthumously named Zhaorong, and he was buried immediately according to Zhaorong's etiquette." In a few days, it will be the day of Princess Dehui's funeral, and they must not be bumped into each other. "It's commendable for you to be loyal to the master, so you went together, and it's all in the name of loyalty."

The court lady in plain clothes immediately fell to the ground upon hearing the words, her complexion was pale, and she could hardly be confident.Didn't the emperor dote on his wife a while ago?There is still a rumor in the palace, are the sweet-scented osmanthus falling and the pear blossoms blooming?Why did it look like this? The emperor did it for the sake of the noble concubine, so she would not let her go. No wonder the empress asked herself to beg the emperor just now. That's what she meant.
