Harem Empress

Chapter 27

Concubine He on the side finally spoke, looked coldly at the maidservant kneeling on the ground and said sharply: "Well, you lowly maidservant, you dare to be so opportunistic in answering your mother's question, could it be that you have lived too long for your fate?" .”

After talking with Concubine Gui, all the concubines in the hall quickly turned their heads to look at Concubine He. Unexpectedly, Concubine He, who seemed calm and breezy, could wake up the dreamer with a single word. Jealous, but the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine still ignored it, but sat there gracefully and put on a posture of listening to the next article, with a warm feeling in the bottom of my heart, I couldn't help being grateful that the imperial concubine and concubine came, she Always rescue me when I am most in danger.

It turned out that He Guifei had already heard that the maid was deliberately avoiding some important questions. She was helping me again, and at the same time reminded Emperor Jingyang that this maid was probably bought by others. , Don't be taken advantage of in a hurry.But as smart as him, how could Emperor Jingyang fail to hear it? The reason why he didn't speak was because he was buying time for me. Coupled with indifference, how could the queen dowager who sits on top of the phoenix command the harem come out and be taken advantage of?

After being scolded by the imperial concubine, the servant girl trembled even more, and said in a trembling voice: "The empress Danbi was standing next to the fish pond at that time, and after having an affair with Vice Commander Zheng, the two quarreled for some reason. After getting up, the maidservant saw Empress Danbi take out the short knife from Vice Commander Zheng's arms, and stabbed Vice Commander Zheng's right chest forcefully, just like that, Vice Commander Zheng fell into the fish pond."

Hearing her finished speaking, I was secretly happy. His few words could be said to be full of flaws, and Taxue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the plum blossom forest in Youyue Garden is just on the west side of the fish pond. She just said that she didn't hear clearly what the empress and deputy commander Zheng said was a lie. The plum blossom forest has not yet bloomed at this time. How can you not see her in the clear sky and broad daylight?"

The expression of the Empress Dowager in the palace was no longer as serious as before. Emperor Jingyang's hand had already let go of the wrinkled dragon robe that was caught by him, and there was a little smile on his face, but no matter how I looked at that smile, It's still so cold.

At this time, the queen mother who was sitting on Feng looked at the servant girl below and said sharply: "Are you sure that Zheng Yuan was stabbed to death in the right chest, can you see clearly?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, the maidservant faltered and said in a trembling voice: "Servant, servant was too scared at the time, I don't remember clearly, it may be on the left side."

"Crack." Emperor Jingyang shattered the teacup in his hand heavily, and the tea splashed all over the floor. All the concubines present were startled by Emperor Jingyang's angry actions and didn't even dare to take a breath. At that time, Emperor Jingyang reprimanded with a serious face: "Is it the left or the right?"

The palace maid had already started to cry in fright, and sobbed: "Your servant sees it clearly, it's the right side, it's the right side." She was so frightened that she kowtowed her head again and again, and the ground made a thumping sound.

At this time, Zhang Shaoxuan, a guard with a sword beside Emperor Jingyang, walked in quickly from the outside, and Fu bowed down and said: "Long live, the plum blossom forest is indeed on the west side of Yuchi. At this time, the plum blossom forest is still bare. The official of the government said that Zheng Yuan's death was due to excessive blood loss from being stabbed in the left chest, and according to the guards around Zheng Yuan, Zheng Yuan never had the habit of carrying a short dagger with him."

It seems that the truth is clear, this is a situation, someone wants to put me to death, Emperor Jingyang said expressionlessly: "What a bold palace maid, since you dare to frame the concubine of the harem, come here! Pull it out and cut it."

The palace servant was so frightened that she said repeatedly: "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life!"

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, according to my concubine, this matter is no small matter, there must be a traitor instigating it, otherwise how could she, a little maidservant, be so bold as to frame my concubine?" The unknown queen finally said. .

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on Feng, nodded silently, looked at Emperor Jingyang, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we must thoroughly investigate this matter and return Concubine Dan's innocence."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Emperor Jingyang slightly lowered his head, then turned his head and glared at the servant below and said: "If you tell who ordered it, I will definitely spare you."

That palace maid knelt there, sobbing in fright, no matter whether she said it or not, she would die, it depends on what she thinks, whether she wants to die by herself or put a back on her back.

At this time, the palace maid suddenly knelt down in front of Dongyue and tightly grasped Dongyue's skirt, crying and begging: "Young Master Yue, you want to save this servant! The servant is following what you taught me." , you must save this servant!"

Dongyue on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly broke away the maid's hand. Dongyue's face turned pale from the maid's action, while the empress dowager and the emperor glared at Dongyue below. Yue hurriedly stepped forward and sobbed softly: "Empress Dowager, the concubine is wronged, the concubine doesn't know this lowly maid at all! Your majesty, your majesty, you must learn from me!"

"Young master Yue, young master Yue, you can't do this! You said that you have always hated the humiliation that Empress Danbi gave you in the imperial garden that day, so you wanted to use this to get rid of Empress Danbi, come on Consolidate your position in the palace! You also gave the maidservant 100 taels and a purple jade hairpin as a hush money, and said that you would promote the maidservant as your personal maid after the matter is completed. Have you forgotten what you said? Is it wrong?" the maid looked at Dongyue in front of her helplessly and wailed.

Dongyue on the ground began to cry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this concubine is wronged. I have never done anything or said anything. You must trust this concubine!"

At this time, Zhang Shaoxuan came in with a bag from the outside, opened it and saw that there was 100 taels of silver and a purple jade hairpin inside, I want to see how Dongyue will end this time, the queen mother and the emperor looked at them with disgust and cried Dongyue's face.

Dongyue turned her head and slapped the palace maid fiercely, and said sharply: "Tell me, we have never seen who ordered you to frame me! Your Majesty can make decisions for me here."

"That's enough, the maid will always be just a maid. If one day it flies up a branch and turns into a phoenix, it will be nothing more than a chicken." The Empress Dowager's words were full of irony. She was warning Emperor Jingyang to know people. Not familiar with it.

"Preach my decree, Yue promised, disregarded the palace rules, framed the concubine, abolished her promised position, and entered the cold palace. The maidservant of Youyueyuan Palace was instigated by others to frame the concubine, and died." Emperor Jingyang in the palace said coldly Said.

Dongyue on the side had already slumped on the ground with a face ashen, and the maidservant had already passed out. The poor two innocent lives were lost just like that. Concubine Jin on the seat had a smug expression on her face. It seemed that she It succeeded, although it was only a small Dongyue, but she was still very proud, because Dongyue betrayed her after all.On the other hand, Concubine De had an unexpected expression on her face. She didn't expect that it was her minions who got rid of her own minions in the end of this good show. She must have secretly scolded Dongyue for that useless idiot in her heart.
