A sudden voice scared Concubine Ning and the eldest maid to their knees.
I saw a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe striding in.
There is no other person in the entire palace who can wear this dress.
Before kneeling down, Concubine Ning and the lady in charge of the palace looked at each other in the electric light. This look was very ordinary, but there was something interesting in their eyes.
Concubine Ning was expected, and the lady in charge was impressed and convinced!
Concubine Ning's voice contained a hint of surprise and surprise, as well as a hint of fear and fright, as she said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know that the Holy Emperor was here, and it was a great sin for me to miss him from afar."
The emperor came over to help her up, with a smile on his face and a very pleasant look: "What crime is my concubine guilty of? It was my impromptu decision to come and see my concubine!"
It was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but he didn't know how many maids were sent to the Chaohua Palace. Almost as soon as the emperor walked this way, the news was handed back layer by layer.
Of course, the palace maids sent out could only watch from a distance. When the emperor and the people around him were absolutely invisible, they were extremely far away, and there were three palaces separated from Chaohua Palace, so the palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew.
, she must not let the emperor feel that her whereabouts are being spied on. This will be self-defeating.
Of course, Concubine Ning didn't know if the emperor was coming this way at the beginning. She was very unsure. After all, the emperor must have known about Dingyuan Marquis. If her brother did such a thing back then, would the emperor know?
Do you care?
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. After so many years, even if she cannot fully understand the emperor's thoughts, she still has some understanding.
She went to deliver soup, knowing very well that the emperor might not be able to use most of it.
But she didn't do it for the emperor's use, she just registered with the emperor. After all, during the day, the group of little goblins were like foxes possessing people in front of the emperor, and they almost dragged people to her palace.
If she doesn't show her face, will the emperor still remember her?
This is not a fight for favor.
Those little goblins are far worse than her in terms of morality and practice!
And she is indeed not trying to win favor today, but to beg for mercy for her brother.
However, she also understood very well that if what happened to Marquis Dingyuan was true, what was the use of just asking for mercy?
It is estimated that if the emperor arrives at Chaohua Palace, it will be almost time, and the questions and answers between her and the maid in charge will be very skillful.
When Lady Liu, the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife, sent the post to the palace, she refused, because such a thing could not be hidden from the emperor. If she saw her, the emperor would definitely be disgusted. If she did not see her, the emperor might still miss her deeply.
You know the righteousness and can look up to her!
Didn't she always follow the path of being considerate and understanding in the palace, not causing trouble to the emperor, but making him feel gentle and relaxed?
Coupled with the "unintentional" thoughts between her and the maid in charge, she felt a little confident when she begged for mercy.
The emperor's attitude made Concubine Ning's heart sink in her stomach, and it was not in vain that she estimated the time to perform this scene.
She stood up and looked at the emperor, her eyes were soft and filled with joy, but she tried her best to suppress it. Her voice trembled with a bit of joy and said: "Liuzhu, hurry up, bring the nephrite silver moon soup, and there are
Hibiscus soup, apricot and pear cake, stuffed osmanthus..."
After giving instructions, he turned around and said: "Your Majesty must be tired from dealing with the papers, and he just happened to have some late-night snacks at my concubine's place!"
The soup cakes and cakes that were served were freshly made, and the soup was still steaming, so it was just right.
The emperor said casually: "Why, my beloved concubine knew that I would come, so she prepared it in advance. It's so rich and wonderful!"
Concubine Ning was startled and said: "I am indeed prepared for the emperor..."
The emperor's eyes are slightly deep, and there is even a hint of sharpness in the deepest part!
Have you been prepared for a long time? He came here on an impromptu basis. Who tipped him off?
The emperor knew that Concubine Ning was almost as equal as the empress in the harem, and she had some manpower. However, he did not take it seriously when his women competed for favor. However, if these methods were used on him, it would be a treason.
!
The dragon's prestige accumulated over the years on the throne was obviously said with a smile, but it was like Mount Tai weighing down the top. There was a dull atmosphere in the air, making people feel as if they couldn't breathe.
The maid in charge of the palace had already bent down and knelt on the ground, trembling under the emperor's dragon power.
The same goes for other palace residents.
Eunuch Liu was a little frightened. The emperor's smile and expression showed that he was angry!
Concubine Ning's behavior, to put it nicely, is that she cares about the emperor and is being clever!
To put it mildly, this is trying to figure out the Holy Will, which is a grave sin!
Being smart can lead to mistakes!
Giving food to the palace may seem like a small matter, but when the royal meal left the palace and was divided into three places, word had already spread.
When Xing Nan reported the news to Chu Xinyuan, Chu Xinyuan was playing chess with Liang Zhongxing.
In Prince Liang's Mansion, the person Chu Xinyuan really regarded as his confidant was Liang Zhongxing.
This Liang Zhongxing was not only the steward of the palace, but also the military advisor of Chu Xinyuan when he went to the battlefield. His identity as a steward was just a cover, his true identity was that of Chu Xinyuan's admirer.
But he is not the kind of polite and frail Mu Liao. He is also a bloody person who took the enemy's head on the battlefield and rushed into the mountain of swords and the sea of blood!
So at that time, when the eldest prince plotted against Concubine De and his son, Liang Zhongxing and Yue Xi were both arrested and tortured. Chu Xinyuan was not worried at all that they would be tortured!
After Xing Nan finished speaking, Liang Zhongxing hesitated and said: "Our emperor is still trying to balance power even when he gives a dish."
Chu Xinyuan said with an expressionless face: "As an emperor's messenger, I raped civilian girls; in order to cover up my crimes, I dared to kill people and silence them! It was originally a serious crime that could lead to death several times, but in the end it would probably not even be able to damage the foundation of Dingyuan Hou Mansion!"
”
Liang Zhongxing shook his head and said: "Liang cannot agree with what Your Highness said. The imperial mission is to provide disaster relief and forcibly conscript women. If this matter is not strictly handled, the law will be nothing!"
He smiled and said: "Prince Ding actually injured himself to increase the leverage in this matter. Even if the emperor wants to let this matter go, I'm afraid he can't, right?"
Chu Xinyuan sneered slightly, with a cold expression on his face: "Do you want to make a bet?"
Liang Zhongxing immediately said: "It's a gamble!" He didn't believe it. If as an emperor, he could even do this kind of thing outside the law, wouldn't it be funny? It's simply ridiculous!
Chu Xinyuan said: "Okay, let's wait and see!"
Liang Zhongxing suddenly became alert: "What's the bet?"
Chu Xinyuan smiled: "I'll tell you the results after they come out!"
Liang Zhongxing: "..."
Well, he won't lose anyway, and the prince probably won't lie about such a trivial matter, but he still doesn't understand: "Since the prince thinks that this matter will probably be left alone, it can't touch the Marquis of Dingyuan, and it can't hurt Chu.
Why did Cheng Ye's bones deliberately reveal the affairs of Dingwang Courtyard to Commander Jiang?"
