concubines

Chapter 20
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and it is estimated that he has provoked him again, Miao Li kowtowed, "I know my mistake."

Sure enough, Zhou Shuxuan immediately changed his tone and scolded others with a straight face, "How many times have I told you, don't act impulsively! If you really want to die, I will send you to see your father right away."

Such a stable person as Meng Qianfan, how could his daughter be so restless?

Miao Li lowered her head to distinguish for herself, "But that is the emperor's imperial order, how can the prince resist the order and refuse to obey it? The slaves dare not make the prince difficult."

"So what about the imperial decree? The emperor was blinded by the poisonous woman's one-sided words. You are going to die for it, you are stupid!" Zhou Shuxuan looked at her with hatred, and said helplessly: "Get up, and enter the palace with this king."

This is to save her?
Sitting in the sedan chair, Miao Li still didn't quite believe that Zhou Shuxuan chose to protect her.Obviously he could lose his pawn to insure the car, but he wanted to take the risk for her.

She also had no way to say to Zhou Shuxuan: "You don't have to protect me, just let me die." He could only do what he said and do things exactly as planned.

Taking a sneak peek at Zhou Shuxuan who was resting with his eyes closed, his brows were furrowed, and he rubbed his temples from time to time, as if he was still uncomfortable.

Miao Li leaned over, put her hand on his temple and gently rubbed it for him, Zhou Shuxuan suddenly felt his headache relieved a lot, and said: "This king decided to explain to the emperor today about the collusion between the Xia family and the crown prince."

The emperor wanted to kill her probably because the Xia family said in front of the emperor that he doted on his concubine and killed his wife. Only by explaining why he punished the Xia family could he have any hope of saving her.

Miao Li knows this truth, but...

"My lord can't, the evidence in my lord's hand is not enough now. I might not be able to overthrow the prince, but I'm very likely to be bitten back by him."

He didn't know these things, but things had come to this point.He never liked taking risks, but he couldn't just watch her go to die, thinking about it made his head hurt even more.

"My lord..." Miao Li still wanted to persuade him, but he yelled at him, "That's enough. Is it true that I don't know what you're talking about, and now I just watch you die?"

Miao Li was so frightened by him that she lowered her head respectfully and dared not say more.The atmosphere in the sedan chair became very solemn, Miaoli bit her lower lip for a long time and said, "I am willing. As long as the prince can still keep his promise, he will avenge the Meng family."

Zhou Shuxuan sneered, "You are of no use to me if you are dead, why should I avenge you?"

Miao Li was taken aback and had nothing to say.It's cold tea, let alone a dead person, she can only avenge the Meng family if she is alive.

The two had no more communication and soon arrived at the palace.

Miaoli came to this magnificent place for the second time. Coincidentally, both times she came to survive.The Emperor is still in the Palace of Concubine De, and Miao Li pushes Zhou Shuxuan to go to Yuqinggong.

Before entering the door, Zhou Shuxuan said something in a cold voice, the tone and the meaning in the words were seriously inconsistent, and Miao Li thought she had heard it wrong.

"My king is here for everything, don't be afraid."

He didn't take it to heart either, and pushed him to walk in with his head down.

Entering the door, the emperor sat on the Arhat's bed with a dark face. Seeing Zhou Shuxuan bringing a woman in, his face became even more gloomy.Concubine De and Xia Shi stood aside, watching Zhou Shuxuan's act of seeking his own death, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

Zhou Shu declared the salute, "My son respectfully greets Sheng An, and my son respectfully greets Empress De."

The emperor picked up the teacup at hand and threw it straight at Zhou Shuxuan. Zhou Shuxuan had no chance to hide, and hit him on the shoulder. Fortunately, it was a teacup of herbal tea, otherwise a layer of skin would fade.

"What's the matter? You want to piss me off, so you dote on the concubine's room and humiliate the concubine, but you dare to disobey the order! This is the witch who fascinates you so much!"

The emperor stared angrily at Miao Li who was kneeling on the ground, after a few glances, he suddenly felt that this face was somewhat familiar.

Zhou Shuxuan's attitude of admitting his mistakes was very correct, "I know my mistakes. But this matter is all Xia's one-sided words. I ask my father, the emperor, to report the truth of the matter before making a fuss. At that time, I would like to accept the guilt and thank you."

The emperor was furious and furious, pointing at Xia Shi and said: "The wound on this face is here, I would like to hear what you have to argue about."

Zhou Shuxuan turned his attention to the Xia clan behind Concubine De, it's a pity that this bitch's body is broken into pieces.Enduring the anger in his heart, he told her crimes one by one.

"Xia's family is jealous, and the accounts in the palace are full of loopholes. They also withheld money from the side concubine in the mansion, so that the side concubine had no money to buy medicine and make clothes. The servants sued her son and minister, but she refused to plead guilty. The Xia family did not For the virtue of a princess, she has been in the mansion for three years and has not had a son or a half daughter. This matter is just a slight punishment, not as good as her crimes, please learn from my father."

After he finished speaking, Xia family knelt on the ground and howled bitterly, she was really wronged.He never touched her, how could she have a child?If he really had a child, he would probably go crazy.

Xia cried and said: "Going back to the emperor, the minister's daughter-in-law is wronged. Everyone in the palace has their own rules, and the minister's daughter-in-law is handed out every penny. As for the accounts, the minister's daughter-in-law was deceived by the subordinates for a while, so it is only That." Turning his head to look at Zhou Shuxuan, he asked miserably: "If the prince doesn't favor the concubine, how can the concubine be childless all the time?"

Concubine De came out to help, "King Qin, you child is too much. What's wrong with Princess, so I can teach you slowly so that you don't touch her? You don't care about her, and you don't allow her to spend a few coins. If you don't Money, come to this palace to ask for it."

For the matter of money, the emperor became even more angry, "You bastard! Is the monthly reward I gave you not enough to support the palace? What kind of prince are you to make such a fuss with the princess for a few money? Worse than those ordinary people. I see that you are fascinated by the side concubine and concubine."

Miao Li knelt on the ground and sweated for Zhou Shuxuan, the emperor was not partial at 01:30.It's reasonable to feel sorry for his son. In this case, he actually helped his daughter-in-law to speak.

Zhou Shuxuan seemed to be used to it, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I am guilty. But I have one more thing to ask Xia. This is my heart disease for many years. If she still has a clear conscience, I am willing to pour tea to her to apologize. .”

Xia Shi dodged and did not dare to look him in the eyes, could it be that he wanted to say those things in front of the emperor?After all, she was his princess, and it would be embarrassing for anyone to say those things.

She thought Zhou Shuxuan didn't dare to say it, but Zhou Shuxuan wanted to say it.For so many years, he, the prince, has been aggrieved, and it's time to vent his anger.

In front of the emperor, Zhou Shuxuan asked sharply: "Master Xia, what was your relationship with the crown prince when you were not out of the cabinet?"
