The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 270 Saying You Can’t Do It (1)
A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he called the name again: "Where is King Zhongshun? How do you look at this matter, and you also think that I will do something like taking the minister's wife by force."

Haha... King Zhongshun started to laugh before making a sound: "Your Majesty, you really know how to joke. It's the funniest joke I've ever heard here. I agree with Fang Shangshu's words, the clean is cleared by itself, and there is no need for any explanation."

Looking at Xiang Boqing, he said with a playful smile on his handsome face: "Mrs. Zhongshu Ling, I haven't seen you for many years. The little girl from back then has grown into a girl. It's just that you are haunted by Fei, and it hasn't changed at all."

Boqing looked up, and saw a masculine and handsome young man about 27 or [-] years old, standing up from the banquet, his tall and burly figure made him look like a King Kong, and the memory in his mind was instantly revived. There was a side at the festival banquet.

Standing up, he replied: "I was in a hurry back then, I don't want my lord to remember my wife. My wife is often entangled in disputes, but it's just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on. But the lord, is still as carefree as before, which is really enviable."

Zhongshun Wang Xiaoyao was the eldest grandson of the first emperor, the same age as the First Prince, Zhongshun Wang Xiaolu died young and inherited his father's title.Xiao Yao is like his name, he likes to be free and unrestrained, he doesn't care about government affairs, he only likes poetry, poetry, romance, and most likes to visit the world's beautiful mountains and rivers, if the emperor himself summoned Tongling, he would not have appeared in the capital.

However, Boqing knows that this person is called Youshanwanshui, but he is actually secretly exploring the topography of various countries. Otherwise, Xiaohe Kingdom would not be able to easily take down Wuyue Kingdom, so Emperor Yan will use it highly.

After Xiao Yao heard it, he laughed it off, turned his head and said casually: "I believe in the emperor, the emperor is a wise king, and will never do such a thing that violates human relations. But since the ministers want an explanation, the emperor will give them an explanation. Otherwise, how would they know how to be loyal to the emperor."

Hearing the words of Boqing, he smiled lightly, what a loyal and obedient king, he was slapping everyone's mouths by saying such words.

What is loyalty?

Loyalty is not just loyalty, but also trust.

These courtiers in front of them don't even have trust, let's talk about He Zhongjun.

The emperor stood up, and said ironically to the unmoving people sitting in the banquet: "Very well, I finally have a few loyal ministers who know me and believe in me."

After drinking the wine in the glass, his eyes slowly swept over the courtiers kneeling on the ground, and said lukewarmly: "You want me to give an explanation to the world, and I will give you an explanation..."

The queen suddenly stood up and interrupted the emperor: "The emperor wants the people in the world to explain, please let the ministers and concubines explain first."

Concubine Yi said coldly: "Of course the empress wants to give everyone an explanation, because you deliberately left Mrs. Zhongshuling in the palace overnight in order to compete with the palace, and instigated her to seduce the emperor so that you can regain your favor, empress." Holy favor..." The courtiers were in an uproar again, they didn't expect that the empress would be involved.

The queen smiled coldly, ignored the slightest consideration and walked slowly to the meeting, knelt down and said: "Your majesty, my concubine deceived the emperor, and my concubine's stay in Zhongshu Ling's wife was not because she forgot the time when she was playing chess, but because there was some other reason. concubine……"

Before he could say anything, his face was already red, he hesitated and said: "Because, the imperial doctor Xu diagnosed that my concubine was pregnant that day. The concubine stayed in Zhongshu Ling's wife to accompany her in the palace because she was afraid that someone would harm her, and let her do not tell anyone."

Originally, everyone pricked up their ears to hear the reason, but they didn't expect the queen to hesitate, giving such an answer, with a dumbfounding expression on his face.

The emperor looked at the queen in surprise, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After he came back to his senses, his face blushed. This answer was beyond his expectation.

Being pregnant, the smile in Concubine Yi's heart froze, and her whole body hardened involuntarily.

There was a burst of blood in his chest, and he said without hesitation: "The concubine thinks that the empress is doing such shameless things because she has a child in her belly and is afraid that she will fall out of favor due to pregnancy. Moreover, this unhealthy trend Don't encourage it, let the younger generation of courtiers mistakenly think that if you want to be a high-ranking official, you only need to send your young wife to Fengyi Palace..."

Before the word "send" came out, there was a sudden crisp sound, and something hit Concubine Yi on the head, and she fell to the ground with a scream.Then a trembling voice said: "What a virtuous and virtuous imperial concubine."

Everyone in the hall was startled, and looked towards the voice. I don't know when the queen mother had already stood in the hall, and they kowtowed to greet her: "See the queen mother, all blessings to the queen mother."

The emperor said anxiously, "Queen, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly appeared, which seemed to break the situation in the hall. A trace of doubt flashed across the Empress's face, and she couldn't help but look at Boqing.

Sensing the Queen's gaze, Bo Qing just smiled faintly. There was no surprise on her face about the Empress Dowager's appearance. She just did one more thing than the Queen.

Concubine Yi couldn't help being startled, and regardless of the pain in her head, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "I know my mistake, please forgive me, Queen Mother."

The queen mother looked at Concubine Yi and said with a sarcasm: "You know your mistake! You will know your mistake too? If you know your mistake, there will be no storms outside, ruining the reputation of the emperor for half a lifetime, and ruining the integrity of Mr. Zhongshuling." reputation, and that girl's reputation."

Concubine Yi felt a chill in her heart, she held back the pain and raised her head, shedding tears, she said: "Queen Mother, I don't understand what you are talking about? I have been in the palace all this time, what does the rumors outside have to do with me?"

The fickleness couldn't help but sneer, at this time, Concubine Yi can hide everything by pretending to be pitiful, but it's a pity that the present is not what it used to be, the song and dance that the queen arranged before was actually the purpose of that poem.I am afraid that only the emperor and empress know what is hidden in this poem.

The Empress Dowager said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Back then you took the initiative to give up the position of concubine, and the Ai family thought that although you were not smart enough, you were generally sensible, but what you did later was simply outrageous. Don’t think that Shunying’s lowly maid took the blame for you, Ai’s family doesn’t know that the person who falsely preached the imperial decree and murdered the emperor’s heir was actually planned by you and the Du family together.”

There was an uproar among the crowd, and they looked at Concubine Yi in disbelief...

The queen mother paused, and continued: "A few days ago you went to Fengyi Palace to make trouble early in the morning, and the Ai family knew it very well, it was not because Zhongshu ordered his wife to stay in the palace, and now the Ai family also Let me give you an explanation, it is true that Mrs. Zhongshuling stayed in the Palace that day, but she did not stay in Fengyi Palace, but in Aijia’s Cining Palace, so Aijia warned you that day, don’t ruin the emperor’s purity with nonsense. reputation."

Concubine Yi's heart turned cold. The little eunuch clearly said that he was staying in Fengyi Palace with affection, but how could he suddenly arrive at the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Ning? A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she looked at the queen with resentment. This was a trap at all.

Kneeling on the ground, she couldn't figure it out, the little eunuch was her eyeliner, she had hidden in the Fengyi Palace for many years, the news was never wrong, how could the wrong news spread this time.
