Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 279
"Your Majesty, what's the big deal? Xue'er was just flying the kite vigorously, but Hong'er called her back unexpectedly." In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, the excited Xue nobleman stepped into the threshold with a swallow kite and kite string in his hand. , standing obediently in front of Mingong with his small mouth pouting.

"Bold bastard, you have done a good job! You still have the face to smile, kneel down!" Ming Gong angrily stared at the startled Xue Guiren, and shouted loudly.

Xuegui was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, his eyes filled with tears of grievance, and he looked very pitiful.

Minggong sighed, and continued to reprimand: "Xue'er, I know that you have a childish temper, but you should be clear about what you should do and what you shouldn't do. Just accepting bribes from ministers in private, revealing the government secrets of the widow?"

"Secret? Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Xue Gui stared at Mingong with his big eyes open in a daze.

"What? You're still here playing dumb for the widow! Then look, what kind of waste is this!" Mingong, who was full of anger, shook his hand and threw the sachet with the bank notes on the desk in front of Xuegui.

Lady Xue picked up the sachet in a daze, looked at it again and again, but was still at a loss: "Your Majesty, what is this? Xue'er has never even seen it before."

"My lord, this sachet was presented by Concubine Ge's relatives last time." Hong'er, who was kneeling beside her, hurriedly reminded her quietly.

"What? Concubine Ge's relatives sent it over? It's really unreasonable! It's a waste of people doting on you, a little girl, and now you have learned to let relatives accept bribes to do things outside! In your eyes, do you still have the king's law?" Ming Gong heard red At the words of his son, he was furious immediately, and kicked Xue Gui who was kneeling on the ground to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Xue'er has been wronged! Xue'er really doesn't know what's going on with this banknote!" Xue Gui pitifully hugged Ming Gong's thigh.

"I don't know what's going on? Alright, then I'll give you a good sober mind, come and put Xue Gui into the Punishment Division and put him under strict supervision!" Ming Gong said with a rage that turned livid.

"My lord, it's not good, something big happened to the Palace of Shuilong Shuren! I heard that the king found out that Mrs. Xue was accepting bribes in private and leaked court secrets to the ministers. The king is now worried about this matter, Mrs. Xue He's already been sent to death row!" On the long corridor of Jianjia Palace, Axi galloped by recklessly, and hurriedly reported to Baosi.

"Xue'er accepts bribes? How is this possible?" Bao Si frowned, facing the Linghua bronze mirror, and immediately questioned.

"Ah Xi also thinks so, but Hong'er from Shuilong Shurendian said that the king found out on the spot that there were thousands of taels of silver in the sachet given to Xuegui by her relatives, and the king was almost outraged." Crazy!" Axi gasped.

"Oops, Xue'er must have been framed by someone, Axi, let's go to the Shuilong Shuren Hall to kowtow to the king, we must find out about this matter!" Baosi is so smart, after listening to Axi's narration, Immediately stood up, took Axi's hand, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Long Live Lord, the empress came to kowtow." In the hall of Shuilong Shuren, when the tent was opened, the imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi hurriedly came in to report.

"Is the queen here to intercede for her good sister?" Ming Gong snorted angrily, and waved his hand at Xiao Ruzi. After a while, Bao Si came in gracefully.

Minggong put down the memorial, saw Baosi frowning, and said calmly, "Si'er, it's rare for you to come to find the widow in person. Why, is there anything important?"
