Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 309
"presumptuous!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian, scolded loudly, and interrupted her words.

Concubine Xian realized that what she had just said was a bit too much after seeing the emperor's anger, and immediately knelt down: "The emperor calms down, the concubine made a slip of the tongue."

All the people present knelt down one after another: "The emperor calm down."

Zhao Min also knelt down with the crowd, bowed his head and prostrated himself on the ground, where no one could see, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: This concubine is really eager to love her son, after fighting in the palace for so many years, she actually got With such a low-level method to deal with herself, I really don't know whether to call her stupid or a great mother's love.

"Concubine Ling just entered the palace not long ago. I don't know that Concubine Xian's hands are so long in the palace that she can even hear the news of her doing such a secret thing. It seems that I really underestimated you before."

If it was said that the emperor was not so moved when he learned that Gu Qi had kidnapped Zhao Min at that time, but when he learned that Gu Qi dared to build an army without telling himself and held the power of Wangcheng in his hands, the emperor would I have to be angry.

My son, who I usually love the most, has unknowingly divided up my rights, so why not make him angry?

And the emperor didn't deal with Concubine Xian immediately because she had been with him for so many years. He didn't expect that Concubine Xian could be so blind to the situation, thinking that she was the favorite concubine who called the wind and rain in the palace. Woolen cloth!
Listening to the coldness in the emperor's words, Concubine Xian's back broke out in cold sweat, this is not what she imagined at all, why is it like this?

"Your Majesty, what the concubine said is true, Princess Ling must have been wearing knee pads, and that servant was protecting her just now!"

As soon as Concubine Xian said this, before Zhao Min had time to refute, the maid who checked Zhao Min's knee pad just now began to kowtow and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, how dare I protect her? Besides, I have never I met Ling Wangfei, but the slaves don't even know that this person is Ling Wangfei."

Concubine Xian shot straight at the servant, but the servant lowered his head, unable to accept the threat in her eyes at all.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Concubine Xian no longer cared about what the Emperor would do to her. Her heart had been gradually blinded by hatred, and she hadn't heard from Gu Qi for a long time. Bring Zhao Min down and avenge his son.

"Concubine Ling must be wearing knee pads, and please ask the emperor to order others to check carefully. People who don't respect their ancestors must not be let go."

Under the eyes of everyone, Concubine Xian asked again and again. After the emperor gave her a cold look, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhao Min who was kneeling outside the hall.

"Princess Ling, do you agree with what Concubine Xian said just now?"

Zhao Min raised her head slowly, which surprised the Concubine Xian who had been looking at her, because Zhao Min still had no fear at all, and she replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Report to the emperor, my wife does not recognize me! "

Zhao Min spoke every word with a loud voice, and looked straight at Concubine Xian, without any fear in his eyes.

On the contrary, this made Concubine Xian feel flustered. Could it be that she was just faking the panic just now? If this is true, I'm afraid...

Concubine Xian's eyes widened and she looked straight at Zhao Min.

I saw Zhao Min kowtowed to the emperor: "Please also ask the emperor to allow the ministers to stand up and accept the inspection of other court ladies. In front of the ancestors, I will definitely not allow the virtuous concubine to slander the ministers like this."

The emperor looked at Zhao Min for a few seconds, then raised his hand and pointed at Eunuch Li: "You, go and check her yourself."

Eunuch Li nodded slightly, stepped back with a bent waist, and walked in front of Zhao Min: "Princess Ling, please bear with me, I have offended you."

Zhao Min nodded slightly at him: "It's okay, Eunuch Li just checked."

Eunuch Li knelt down in front of Zhao Min. In front of everyone, he slightly raised the hem of her skirt in front of her, touched her knees, then stood up and knelt down to the emperor: "Report to the emperor, the servant has carefully checked , Princess Ling did not wear knee pads."

Although Concubine Xian had already thought about this result in her heart just now, when she really heard Eunuch Li say it, she still widened her eyes: "Impossible, I clearly sent someone to put the knee pads at your door, why don't you Maybe not?"

Concubine Xian was flustered for a moment, she didn't choose what to say, she realized what she said after she said it, she immediately kowtowed straight to the emperor: "Your Majesty!"

At this time, Zhao Min walked straight towards the emperor, and after walking in front of him, knelt down and licked his head, lowered his head and said: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, the minister's wife has the opportunity to live in the palace. It is really impossible to justify this bad idea on the head of the court lady, if the court lady had not insisted on her heart and ordered someone to throw the knee pads out, I am afraid I would have fallen into the way of the virtuous concubine today."

The emperor's face was very ugly. In the end, he had some sympathy for Concubine Xian in his heart, and he also had a last hope for Gu Qi. He hadn't dealt with Concubine Xian before, and only hoped that she could spend this period of time safely in the harem. She never expected that she would do such a thing in front of so many people today.

"Your majesty." The concubine Xian didn't care about her own face at this moment, she threw herself directly in front of the emperor, hugging his thigh, she had already burst into tears, "The concubine is just confused for a while, please the emperor to wait on the concubine. For the sake of so many years, let's open the net."

Seeing this situation, the Queen was also surprised. She didn't expect that the idiot Concubine Xian would make such a mess. Now that it has developed to this point, she might as well push the boat along.

"Your Majesty, even if Princess Ling comes to the palace as a guest, she should be treated well. If this matter reaches King Ling's ears, how can he be made to fight outside with peace of mind?"

The emperor frowned and didn't speak a word, as if thinking about how to deal with this situation in his heart.

Zhao Min looked at the concubine Xian crying pear blossoms and rain, fearing that the emperor would soften his heart for a moment, he immediately raised his head, and pursued the victory and said: "I didn't expect that the palace is so unsafe. I am afraid that the emperor's holy wife can't bear it. The emperor issued a decree to allow the minister's wife to return to live in Prince Ling's mansion."

What Zhao Min said was just to retreat. She knew that since the emperor wanted to keep herself in the palace as a hostage, she would not easily release herself from the palace. Let the emperor deal with Concubine Xian cruelly.

Sure enough, after Zhao Min said these words, the emperor's eyes became a little firmer: "The virtuous concubine is the head of the concubine, and she dared to do such a scandal in front of the ancestors. It is really unforgivable. Responsibilities that are not strict are reduced to promises."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian hugged the Emperor's leg with all her strength, and cried out, hoping that the Emperor would take back her holy will, but the Emperor kicked her away fiercely and left angrily.
