good wife

Chapter 807 Killing two birds with one stone (4)
The emperor took a deep breath and leaned back, "What Concubine Shu said is absolutely true! This method is indeed somewhat inappropriate."

Concubine De's eyes flickered, and when she looked at Concubine Shu, there seemed to be something extra in her eyes, "Your Majesty, since the King Jin is involved, and the concubine is the biological mother of the King Jin, this matter should be left to the concubine." Let me ask. What does the emperor think?"

The emperor nodded and raised his hand to signal her to deal with it.

Concubine De turned her head to look at the man and said, "I want to ask you, you said she was the singer who had a skin-to-skin relationship with you for half a year, do you know that if what you said is true, not only This concubine concubine will die, and even your husband and wife, including that child, will be sentenced to death?"

"This, the grass people don't know! This, the grass people don't know what kind of concubine she will be!" The man seemed a little anxious, and repeatedly kowtowed on the hall, his forehead hit the ground with a 'thump' On the ground, because there was still a thick layer of carpet on the ground, the man's forehead was not broken, but a bruise was already visible when he looked up.

Princess Li Jing couldn't hold back anymore, "What's the meaning of this, Empress Concubine De? Can't be threatened?"

Concubine Xian quickly turned her head and glared at Li Jing, signaling that she was busy!Li Jing, who was originally a little arrogant, shrank subconsciously when she met Concubine Xian's cold gaze.This subtle movement did not escape Jingyi's eyes.

There was a hint of thoughtfulness in Jingyi's eyes. Men usually don't pay too much attention to a woman's expression and movements, but usually only pay attention to whether the woman is beautiful or not, and whether the voice is good or not.Even the aloof emperor is no exception!Jingyi swept her eyes, and saw that King Ming, King Jin, and King Xian didn't pay attention to Li Jing, Jingyi's lips were slightly raised, and it seemed more and more interesting!This concubine Xian is probably not a simple character!
Jingyi is a woman, so naturally she has the habit of observing women's movements and expressions. Princess Li Jing has always been arrogant and domineering, and she has always been close to the queen. Why is she so afraid of a sick and virtuous concubine?Even her biological mother shouldn't be so afraid!

Concubine De seemed to have never heard Li Jing's words.He said again: "Who is your name? Where do you live? Who else is there?"

"Hui Niangniang, Caomin's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Er. He lives in the south of the city. Caomin's family runs a teahouse. There is also an old mother, wife and a young girl in the family."

Concubine De nodded, "So, your family background is pretty good. But I don't know who borrowed the courage to dare to slander the dignified prince and concubine! Do you know what crime you have committed?"

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! The grass people don't know that she is a concubine! Really don't know!"

"Hmph! If you don't know a word, it's just an excuse? I ask you, who did you hear that she lives in Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"Hui Niangniang, it was Xiangmei who said it! It was Xiangmei who said it!"

"Oh? How did she say it?" Concubine De asked with a light smile.

That Liu Er hurriedly said: "Go back to your mother, she said that Yan'er is doing well now. But it's much better than following you!"

Just when Concubine De's question was spoken, Wang Wei's expression changed!I screamed in my heart that it was not good!But because of being in the hall and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was helpless!

"Oh?" Concubine De smiled and said, "How good can life be for a slave? It's just to fool you!"

"It's not fooling around! No! That Xiangmei said that she is now in Prince Jin's mansion, and she is also a half master, and she can still say something in front of King Jin!"

As soon as Liu Er said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed, especially Wang Wei, the hand holding the handkerchief unconsciously twisted the handkerchief into a twist!This Liu Er's words are obviously inconsistent with what he said before!As a result, everyone looked at Liu Er and Wang Wei in a somewhat unfriendly way.

"What a troublemaker!" Concubine De suddenly raised her voice and said angrily, "Didn't you say that your wife found out the whereabouts of that singer? Now why do you say that you and Xiangmei met? , when you first came in, what your wife said was the same, saying that the singer was a slave in the Prince Jin’s mansion, why now you say that you know that the singer has gained power in the Prince Jin’s mansion? Full of nonsense! Which sentence is real?"

After Concubine De finished speaking, she knelt down in front of the hall, "Your Majesty, these unscrupulous people were clearly bought to frame Jin Palace! Please also investigate clearly!"

Just as the emperor was about to speak, he heard Concubine Xian say: "Your Majesty, it is about the heir of the emperor, you must be careful!"

Hearing the words, the emperor really got the word out of his mouth. After thinking about it, he changed the subject, "Concubine Xian's words are reasonable, you really shouldn't be careless! Concubine De, what other options do you have?"

A gleam flashed in Concubine De's eyes, she raised her head and said: "Your Majesty, this Liu Er kept saying that he had a physical relationship with the concubine Wang Shufei, and the concubine was daring, but I wanted to ask Liu Er, what evidence do you have? Have you ever had a past with her?"

When Liu Er heard the words, a look of pride flashed across his face, "Mrs. Hui, the villain still has a sachet that Yan'er gave to the grass people as a proof!" It looks a little old, but the embroiderer is an excellent sachet.

The patterns on the two sides of this sachet are different, one side shows mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the other side shows peonies blooming.Concubine De signaled to the maid to take the sachet, and then examined it carefully. Concubine De's finger slid over the sachet, and there was a smile in her eyes, "Your Majesty, please take a look at it."

Du Hai presented the sachet to the emperor, and the emperor looked helplessly at it, "It's just a sachet, what can you tell?"

"Return to the emperor, this is the best brocade, the color is red with purple, and when viewed by candlelight, it seems to have been smoothed, it is extremely precious, this is the latest tribute from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau this year." Concubine De explained with a smile: "More than that, the stamens on this peony flower are also embroidered with fine gold thread, which is not seen among ordinary people. Even some high-ranking officials and nobles, I am afraid that they are only embroidered by people who are alive. Only when there is a big event, will it be used.”

After hearing this, Wang Wei stared at the sachet without blinking. What's going on?How could it become a sachet made of Huajin?In this way, wouldn't it be a failure?
Jingyi smiled at the corner of her mouth, Concubine De really came prepared!She subconsciously turned her head to look at King Ming, only to find that his face was calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him!And the queen on the high seat also looked calm and relaxed.Only Wang Wei acted as if she was frightened at this time, and her face was a little unsightly.

King Jin looked at King Ming with a sigh of relief, obviously, he was a little proud!
Concubine De continued to explain: "Returning to the emperor, this concubine has been in Jin Palace for two years. If she really had an affair with this man before entering the palace, how could she take out such a sachet and give it to him? You know, this kind of concubine This year, we only got [-] bolts of cloth in different colors. All of them were handed over to the treasury. The emperor celebrated the Qianqiu Festival a while ago, and the empress seemed to have taken out two bolts to bring the emperor a brand new dragon robe. Do you have any impressions?"
