Chapter 72

"Baby maid!" With the sound of scolding, a teacup fell down, just hitting the forehead of the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and a red line flowed instantly.The maid was trembling all over, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just lay there and kowtowed repeatedly.

Concubine Shu circled around twice, and pointed at the palace lady: "Hold on to me! I can't let her die for the time being. Later, I will go to the queen's side to plead guilty in person."

After she finished speaking, two women came over and dragged the palace maid directly outside.Concubine Shu resentfully picked up the teacup on the table and took two sips, then sighed: "I shouldn't trust that old man too much!"

"Your Majesty, what should I do now? Even if you didn't order me, but after all, Yun Shu is your great court lady..." Another court lady stepped forward and helped Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu frowned. Said: "What can I do? The queen is smart. Since that stupid streamer didn't get things done, Concubine Hui must have been cleared of suspicion."

"I really didn't expect that Concubine Hui, who looked so stupid as hell, would still have such a hand!" Concubine Shu was full of resentment, she reached out and thumped the table, her hand immediately turned red, and the maid hurriedly took her hand Rubbed her a few times: "Mother, don't make fun of your body. You gave birth to the second prince, as long as you get rid of all the crimes, you will be fine."

Concubine Shu sighed and leaned on the soft cushion: "Of course I will be fine. Then Yun Shu was obviously reprimanded by Bengong, and then she was upset, so she did those things behind Bengong's back. Bengong never thought of it." I tried to murder Concubine Hu. Besides, I have my own son, so what good will it do me if I kill Concubine Hu?"

The palace maid nodded with a smile and replied: "What the empress said is that this matter has nothing to do with the empress in the first place."

Concubine Shu looked up and looked outside, got up and said: "Change clothes for me, I will go to the empress to plead guilty now." The maid hurriedly found a plain dress for Concubine Shu, and helped Concubine Shu change her clothes, They were sent to escort Yun Shu again, and the group went to Yongshou Palace.

When the Empress heard the notification, her eyes flickered, and she chuckled lightly: "She knew it pretty quickly, and this palace just made a clear investigation. Before I had time to tell the emperor, she hurried over to plead guilty."

"Your Majesty, why don't we see you? Did you just call the emperor back?" Wang Xiang came over and took the booklet from the queen's hand and put it aside, and Wuyao came over to reapply the queen's makeup.

The queen shook her head: "No, let's see and see what Concubine Shu will say. Last time the emperor spared her for the sake of the child in her womb. This time, he probably won't severely punish her."

"Why not severely punished? Isn't Concubine Hu pregnant with a child, and Concubine Hui..." Wuyao was a little puzzled, and the queen sneered: "Aren't Concubine Hu and her child all right? Concubine Hui is just fine." She was framed for a while, but did not suffer any real harm. The emperor has few heirs, and she is the biological mother of the second prince. If she is dealt with, what will the second prince do? Is it possible to give her to Concubine Yang?"

According to the general practice, the child without a biological mother can only walk flat or up, and there is absolutely no possibility of going down.It's like her queen, if she disappears one day, it is absolutely impossible for the eldest prince to be taken care of by a certain concubine. Either the emperor will make a new empress, or the queen mother will take care of her for a period of time. When the eldest prince becomes sensible, he can live on his own .

So if Concubine Shu is gone, her children can only be sent to Concubine Yang, or the Queen.The empress would never ask for it right now, and Concubine Yang, the empress would never give it to her.

Moreover, Concubine Shu cannot be demoted at this moment. Among the four concubines, two are newcomers. If Concubine Shu is demoted again, it will be embarrassing not only for Concubine Shu, but also for the empress.

At that time, people will only say that the people who came out of the hidden mansion did not please the emperor, either the empress suppressed them too hard back then, or the empress did not teach well.In this world, men make mistakes on women's issues, and women will always bear the responsibility.

The queen is not a fool, and she is absolutely unwilling to drive Concubine Shu down, so that there will be no old man who came out of the mansion in the place of the fourth concubine.There is another reason, the four concubines are suspended, that is, only the noble concubine and the queen are left above the four concubines. Doesn't that mean that the noble concubine is almost as good as the queen?
It's one thing for a queen to be magnanimous, but it really makes people step on their heads, and they will definitely not be willing.

But these thoughts, the queen will definitely not tell others.After dressing up, he helped Wu Yao's hand to come out, and saw Concubine Shu was sitting on the lower head, with a crying maid kneeling on the ground.

Concubine Shu saw the queen coming out, her eyes were red, and she quickly stood up and saluted: "I have seen the empress, please greet the empress." Then, she knelt down on the ground with a plop: "This concubine is here to apologize. This lowly maid actually planned to murder Concubine Hu and frame Concubine Hui behind my concubine's back, it is really a heinous crime, I am not qualified to deal with it myself, so I brought her here and asked the empress to forgive me."

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "She murdered Concubine Hu and framed Concubine Hui behind your back?"

"Yes, the second prince has been suffering from the cold these days. The concubine was busy taking care of the second prince, so she neglected to control the people below. Because the concubine had punished her before, this lowly servant girl held a grudge against the concubine and wanted to put this matter to rest. Put it on the concubine, and ask the empress to check it out."

Concubine Shu gave the queen a big gift, but the queen didn't respond, she just turned to look at the maid: "What's your name? Tell me everything you've done."

"The maidservant is called Yun Shu, and she was originally a second-class maid beside Concubine Shu. A few days ago, Concubine Shu asked the maidservant to look after the second prince, but the servant fell asleep halfway, causing the second prince to catch cold. Concubine Shu asked the servant to kneel for a day, This servant has resentment towards Concubine Shu, so she did this kind of thing, and wanted Concubine Shu to bear the crime."

Yun Shu resigned to his fate and said: "The slave first stole a piece of Concubine Shu's jewelry, and then when the slave's fellow villager Guixi Eunuch was out of the palace, he asked him to sell it, and lied to him that it was a gift from Concubine Shu At the same time, the servant secretly gave Guixi a blueprint, and asked him to go to the gold shop to make a hairpin for the servant."

"Guixi works in the outer palace. I have never met Concubine Hui, let alone Concubine Hui has such a hairpin, so I helped the servants to make the same hairpin." You can't type the same one in private, unless it is rewarded from above.

Yun Shu continued: "Later, the servant girl went to Lenggong to find a little maid, and promised that in the future, Empress Shu would take her there to work for Empress Shu, and then let her take the hairpin to find Empress Hu .”

"It's just that this slave girl didn't want to harm Concubine Hu, so I ask the empress to learn from you!" Yun Shu suddenly kowtowed to the queen and shouted. The servant girl's plan was only to hear that she went out to beat the hairpin, and found someone to invite Concubine Hu and Concubine Hui, and after thinking about what happened today, she realized that she was playing tricks inside."

"Empress Mingjian, Concubine Shu, I beg you to intercede with this servant. The servant really has no intention of harming Concubine Hu and Concubine Hui. The servant just intends to wait for Concubine Hui and Concubine Hu to pass by, and let Hui Yin tease them If you quarrel and make Concubine Hu angry, how could the servants know the crime of murdering the emperor's heir, so they would die just to get angry with Concubine Shu?"

Yun Shu kept kowtow, the queen raised her hand, and someone stopped her: "Then tell me, why did Concubine Hu fall into the water?"

"My servant doesn't know..." Yun Shu shook her head: "My servant just let Concubine Hu and Concubine Hui go, and then Concubine Hu will definitely question Concubine Hui about the hairpin. Concubine Hui is innocent by nature, maybe she will be angry when she gets angry. Do something to Concubine Hu..."

Speaking of this, Yun Shu couldn't go on anymore. She said that she didn't intend to harm the child in Concubine Hu's belly, but she designed it to let Concubine Hui do it, killing two birds with one stone, which is better than doing it herself and then frame Concubine Hui method is much better.

Anyway, she wanted to harm the child in Concubine Hu's stomach.

The Empress laughed, then turned to Concubine Shu and said, "Since the court lady has already pleaded guilty, I will order her to be sent to the Punishment Department. What do you think, my sister?"

"It's all up to the empress to make the decision." Concubine Shu said quickly, and then got up to salute the queen: "It's just that the concubine is also responsible. If the concubine is not strict with her orders, this kind of thing would not have happened. The concubine asks to be punished."

"Since this is the case, I will punish you for one year, ban you for three months, and remove the green card for half a year. What do you think?" The queen pondered for a while and said, Concubine Shu quickly knelt down to accept the punishment: "The empress is magnanimous. Opinion."

The queen waved her hand, signaling for the palace servants to come and take Yun Shu away, and Concubine Shu led the others back to her Yikun Palace.

When the emperor came over in the evening, the queen told him about this matter: "The concubine thought about it, the second prince is still young, if the second prince is suddenly demoted from the position of Concubine Shu, I am afraid that the second prince will be wronged, so I punished others, the emperor looks how?"

"Zitong can figure it out." The emperor frowned slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "Concubine Shu has a vicious mind. Last time, she urged Liu Xiurong to kill Concubine Yang. This time, she went to frame Concubine Hu and Concubine Hui. , the second prince stays with her, I'm afraid he won't learn well, Zitong..."

"Your majesty!" The queen interrupted the emperor hurriedly, seeing the emperor looked at her with a little surprise, the queen quickly smiled and said: "Your majesty, I know what you want to say, Concubine Shu is not in the right mind, if the second prince stays with Concubine Shu, I'm afraid I will be taught badly by Concubine Shu, right?"

The emperor nodded, and the queen smiled and said, "But your lord, who do you plan to hand over the second prince to?"

"Zitong raised the eldest prince very well. I thought I would hand over the second prince to you." The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the queen covered her lips with a veil and smiled, her face was pink and shy: "I'm afraid No, it's not that I don't want to, but I have good news to tell the emperor."

"What good news?" The emperor asked in surprise, the queen took the emperor's hand and put it on her belly, her eyes could not hide her joy: "Your majesty, my concubine is pregnant. The diagnosis was just over a month old. .”

"Really?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "That's great, I want a reward!" After finishing speaking, he touched the queen's belly with his palm, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: What did the imperial doctor say?Is the child okay?Is Zitong in good health?Is there anything to be aware of?What does Zitong want to eat recently?If you have something to do, explain it to them and let them help you, so you don't get tired. "

"Your majesty, my concubine is fine. The imperial doctor said that the child is also quite healthy." The queen leaned shyly beside the emperor and said, "I know the seriousness, and I will definitely explain what happens in the future. Don't worry."

"The second prince will stay with Concubine Shu." The emperor hugged the queen for a long time before laughing and said, the queen naturally has no objection, as long as the child is not placed with her.

"It's Concubine Hui's place, the emperor still needs to appease her. After all, Concubine Hui has suffered an unreasonable disaster." The queen thought for a while and said, anyway, she can't sleep now, so it's better to be a good person.

Concubine Yang is no good, Concubine Shu has just been punished, Concubine Liu is too active, Concubine Hu is pregnant with a child, Concubine Cheng belongs to Concubine Yang, and Concubine Han Wanyi's status is too low.Concubine Hui is a good person. She is a little clever and has no big plans. She is quite pleasing to the eye. The important thing is her duty.

And, it should be compensated.It's just a favor, I don't ask Concubine Hui to remember her kindness, as long as I don't make trouble like everyone else, it's fine.
