The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 214 Slap in the face in public (two more)

Concubine Shu never expected this outcome. Isn't Gu Jinyu talking about something she invented? How can a four-year-old do it?

Concubine Zhuang didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun: "Concubine Shu, Xiao Wu must have learned other people's skills secretly, and then took it as his own credit, right?"

Concubine Shu felt guilty for a while, and her face flushed: "What did the concubine say? How could Xiao Wu do such a thing?"

Concubine Zhuang smiled lightly: "Could it be that they stole the teacher from Xiao Wu?"

Empress Xiao said sternly: "Prince Concubine be careful, I heard it just now, that child said that his family would have done it a long time ago."

Concubine Shu bit her head and said, "Xiao, Xiao Wu would have done it already!"

Concubine Zhuang Gui said: "You didn't say that just now, didn't you say that Xiao Wu only came up with it yesterday?"

"I..." Concubine Shu did mention that the Fifth Prince only mentioned this practice to her last night.

Concubine Zhuang continued: "Could it be that Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi mentioned it, and Xiao Qi taught it to the child, but the child lied that his family taught him it?"

Empress Xiao said sternly: "Last night, when Xiaoqi came back from Guozijian, he stayed in this palace, and His Majesty was there. After that, His Majesty sent Xiaoqi to the East Palace. The concubine said, how did Xiaoqi meet Xiaowu? Xiaowu Why would you tell Xiao Qi about this?"

The age gap between the two is so big, and their relationship is usually not close. It is absolutely impossible for the fifth prince to tell Qin Chuyu this kind of thing.

Qin Chuyu is a child, what does he know?

Concubine Zhuang Gui owed herself, "It's the concubine who made a mistake."

Concubine Zhuang Gui was not speaking for Concubine Shu, and Empress Xiao also understood.

The look in the emperor's eyes towards Concubine Shu became complicated.

To be honest, the emperor was very fond of Concubine Shu, and there were always new people coming and going in the palace, but Concubine Shu was always the most favored one. There is no other reason, Concubine Shu is charming and beautiful, and she can coax people. She is a rare flower of interpretation.

However, today's events have touched the emperor's bottom line.

The emperor was originally annoyed at Gu Jinyu's false claim of credit but had no evidence, and the most annoying thing was the person who took credit!

Of course, the emperor was essentially a man of evidence.

The emperor said: "Do you have any evidence to prove when Xiao Wu first made this kind of mortar?"

Concubine Shu was dumbfounded.

The emperor continued: "He is not always imaginary, you have to make it before you believe it, right?"

Concubine Shu was completely speechless.

The emperor called Eunuch Wei: "Go and ask that child,

When did his family first make this? "

"Yes!" Eunuch Wei walked away with small steps, and after a while, he turned back and said to the emperor, "Report to Your Majesty, he said that many of their neighbors' walls are made of this kind of mortar. Last month There it is."

The emperor gave Eunuch Wei a wink, Eunuch Wei agreed, and turned his head to call a few masters from the inside and let them go to Bishui Hutong.

The concubines originally came to see the emperor, but now they have become lively to see Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years and has never been so embarrassed.

Gu Jinyu, ah, Gu Jinyu, you really cheated this palace!

After a while, the masters of the big inner circle returned to the palace, and one of them said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there is indeed the same mortar."

This time the evidence is conclusive, the mortar was made by the child's family first.

So the question is, how did the fifth prince know about the mortar? Did he figure it out on his own, or...stole the teacher from someone else?

Empress Xiao couldn't help but said, "Concubine Shu, why don't you tell the truth quickly?"

Concubine Shu regretted so much. If she knew this earlier, she would not be fooled by Gu Jinyu and would not come to receive the credit. How should she lie now?

If it wasn't involved in the fall of the Fifth Prince, then it was.

Concubine Zhuang Gui smiled lightly: "Why don't you call the fifth prince to ask?"

"No!" She hadn't made a good confession with Xiao Wu yet!

At this juncture, Xiao Wu was called, didn't she want her to wear a gang in place?

But Concubine Shu is afraid of whatever comes—

"Huh? Father? Mother? Why are you here?"

It was the fifth prince who had returned to the palace, and strode towards this side, "Mother, I heard that you are looking for me in a hurry!"

He walked into the pavilion, saw Empress Xiao and the others sitting on the seat, and called out one by one.

"Mother, your face is so ugly." The fifth prince looked at Concubine Shu strangely, everyone was sitting, only Concubine Shu stood in the center of the pavilion, looking like she was being interrogated, the fifth prince frowned, "Go out. What's the matter?"

Concubine Shu gave him a wink.

Queen Xiao pointed to a bucket of mortar on the side and asked, "Xiao Wu, do you know this?"

Concubine Shu desperately gave him a wink!

The fifth prince didn't see it. He looked at the mortar and asked with disgust, "What kind of dirty thing is this?"

A dirty thing, what else do people not understand?

How dare he not even know mortar!

Concubine Zhuang covered her face and smiled: "Little Wu, Concubine Shu said you made this thing?"

The fifth prince was disgusting: "How could I do such a dirty thing?"

Concubine Zhuang Gui laughed out loud.

The rest of the concubines also covered their mouths with handkerchiefs.

Empress Xiao held the air of the mother of a country, but she did not laugh at all.

Concubine Shu wanted to die.

What about the mother-son connection? Can you be a little more tacit?

"You retire first." The emperor said to the fifth prince, this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him, and the emperor would not be angry with him for the time being.

The fifth prince did not know why, but the emperor gave an order, and he could only retreat silently.

The emperor's cold eyes fell on Concubine Shu's face: "What's going on? Are you still honest?"

With all the evidence and evidence, it was impossible for Concubine Shu to absolve herself. After so many years in the palace, it was the first time she was slapped in the face in public, and one of them was her son.

Concubine Shu was suffocated to death, and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it...the concubine did this for a reason."

Concubine Shu talked about going to see Gu Jinyu in the prison, of course she didn't say that Gu Jinyu wanted to give her credit, but said: "...The county master knows that he has annoyed His Majesty, lest His Majesty will not believe her method, This made the concubine lie and claim that Xiao Wu came up with it. She said that she hopes to serve His Majesty again. How do I know that she stole someone else's method? "

It's Gu Jinyu again!

And plagiarize something from the little genius doctor!

Now that's all right, he was worried that he couldn't find any evidence about the bellows, and Mortar sent the evidence to his door.

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu: "So, Concubine Shu was also deceived. She was the only one who committed the crime of deceiving the king from beginning to end?"

What can Concubine Shu do? Do you admit that you almost deceived you?

In order to protect herself, Concubine Shu had to admit that Gu Jinyu deceived the king.

Concubine Shu bit her lip, knelt down in public, kowtowed and said, "The niece of the concubine made a big mistake, it is fine for the concubine to teach her, please punish your majesty!"

The emperor said: "The county master Hui steals the achievements of others, pretends to take credit, deceives the king, and for the sake of concubine Shu interceding for her, he will take away the position of the county master and take back the title!"

Concubine Shu was stunned, is this, is it still for her sake? Not even the county master has to do it!

The crime of deceiving the king is actually very difficult to convict strictly. For example, Qin Chuyu always lied that he didn't steal candy, and the third prince would lie that he had done his homework well... This is all deceiving the king, but it is generally not considered a crime. Penalties will only be imposed if there are serious consequences.

The mortar incident obviously did not cause great consequences. The reason why His Majesty still deprived her of her title and the position of the county master seems to be playing on the topic.

Everyone couldn't help thinking of the explosion accident in the Ministry of Industry and the rumors that the bellows was not invented by Gu Jinyu.

If it's because of the bellows, that makes sense.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu, it turns out that your niece is not as powerful as you said.

If you don't punish your niece, who will be punished?

The eyes of the empresses looking at Concubine Shu changed at this time.

This most proud woman finally fell into a downfall.

Concubine Shu was fined by the emperor for one year and banned for one month.

Concubine Shu's face turned green.

The whole harem has seen her jokes, from now on, her black history will never be erased!

The emperor frowned and glanced at her: "What? Are you still not leaving? Are you dissatisfied with my punishment?"

"Chen and concubine don't dare, Chen and concubine retire." Concubine Shu stood up in embarrassment, bowed to the emperor, and staggered away with the help of the palace maid.

Just a few steps away, the emperor suddenly stopped her: "Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu was overjoyed and turned her head back with tears in her eyes, expecting the emperor to speak to her to comfort her. After all, she was also implicated. Unexpectedly, the emperor just said coldly: "Let Xiao Wu come to the imperial study, I want to test his homework."

Concubine Shu immediately froze!
