Chapter 228: This palace maid is so brave
The queen failed to ask her son to please the emperor. Now he seemed to be deflated and could no longer see the previous spirit. Fortunately, after the incident, the emperor asked the third prince how to govern, and the third prince's answer was quite satisfactory to the emperor.
At this time, Little Concubine Jin pulled her son forward and said, "Your Majesty, Xiaojiu has a question that I would like to ask you."
The emperor looked at his youngest son, his face softened a little, "You ask."
The ninth prince was less than two weeks old, and he spoke with a babyish voice. He thought for a moment and then said: "Father, my mother and concubine say that you are the king, but you are also my father. So who comes first, the king or the father?"
It's amazing that he can speak so fluently at such a young age. And the questions he asked were very pointed, but they were obviously taught by adults.
The emperor smiled, "Then how do you understand?"
The Ninth Prince raised his head to the sky and seemed to have forgotten his words. Everyone else became nervous for him. Fortunately, after a while, he suddenly flashed his big bright eyes and said: "First the king, then the father."
"oh?"
"My father puts the world first, but in Xiao Jiu's heart, my father comes first."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately laughed and hugged the little prince into his arms, "It's true that my father loves you so much!"
The emperor is a son of old age, so he usually favors the ninth prince more. Of course, Jin You and Xiaojiu are also the chips in his hand to contain Yan Mu, which is very useful.
When the queen saw this scene, she was obviously at a disadvantage today, so she was very angry.
But she couldn't let Jin You take advantage, so she pulled out Hui Bin and said: "I see that Hui Bin has a sharp belly, and we need to add ten princes to the palace soon."
When the emperor heard this, his face was also happy, but thinking about what happened a few days ago, I felt a little angry: "The daily morning and dusk instructions given to the queen by Hui Concubine can be dispensed with."
The queen didn't want to send a slap to her face, so she immediately agreed: "Yes, I think so too."
The Queen Mother nodded, "I won't be here any more."
"Mother, you still have to come here." The emperor said hurriedly.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Nothing is as important as adding another prince or princess to our Qin family."
"Yes, Queen Mother, you still understand your righteousness."
Liu Yunxiang secretly exhaled, fighting like this every day, no wonder the women in the harem are scheming, this is what they have learned through experience!
After watching a good show, it was time for her to take the stage.
She took a deep breath, stood up from behind the Queen Mother, walked to the center and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this servant dares to accuse my beloved concubine of injustice!"
As soon as these words came out, the four people stood up in shock.
How dare a little palace lady dare to cry out for injustice in front of the emperor? She is so presumptuous that she is dying!
Sure enough, the emperor directly waved the tea cup in front of him to the ground, "Come here, pull it out..."
"Your Majesty, my servants were present at the time and could see clearly that Concubine Liang did not splash water on the steps!" Liu Yunxiang said hurriedly.
The emperor was shocked by Liu Yunxiang's boldness, and then he looked at her, "Which palace are you from?"
"Slave Luo Hangong, of course, was ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver Nanzhu to the Queen. Because she made a mistake, she was punished by kneeling on the steps. She witnessed the whole process in person."
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother, who nodded, and then looked at the Queen, "You said a maid saw it, but was she?"
"This..." The queen didn't know what Liu Yunxiang wanted to do, so she didn't dare to speak for a while.
"At that time, the nun next to the queen asked the slave, and the slave only said that she saw the good concubine squatting down when she came down the steps. She was too panicked at the time, and the slave did not explain clearly, which caused the queen to misunderstand." Liu Yunxiang said and glanced at the queen.
The queen's thoughts changed and she immediately said: "It is she I am talking about!"
The emperor lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said: "This matter has been settled. Don't mention it again. You, a palace maid, are so unruly, so take her out and kill her with a stick!"
"Your Majesty, if the real perpetrator is not found, then Hui Bin and her heir will still be in danger!" Liu Yunxiang said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, this maid is right." The queen tried to persuade the emperor.
Jin You never expected Liu Yunxiang to be so courageous. After suppressing her fright, she said: "Your Majesty, if the palace maid said it herself, she bites her own tongue. I'm afraid she can't believe it."
"Little Concubine Jin, Concubine Liang has made good friends with you, don't you want to clear her name?" The Queen quickly bit Jin You when she had the chance.
Jin Youdao: "What are you saying, queen? Although Liangfei and I are on good terms, we know more about right and wrong. There is a mountain of irrefutable evidence, and we cannot quibble with it. And the emperor has always given top priority to state affairs and has to take care of everything. It is rare for him to take a day off. Anyway, I am a concubine."
I feel sorry for the Emperor and I can’t bear to let him work so hard anymore.”
After hearing these words, the emperor took Jin You's hand and patted it, "You'd better be considerate of me."
"Why don't I, my concubine, accompany you back to Chengtian Palace to rest."
"That's fine."
Liu Yunxiang was extremely anxious. Why hasn't there been any movement from the Leng Palace? Could it be that the good concubine has backed down?
At that moment, the emperor stood up, bowed to the Queen Mother and left.
"Since this palace maid's eyesight is not good, it is useless to keep her, so she should throw away her eyesight and drive her out of the palace."
"Your Majesty, still..."
"Mother, I am just dealing with a palace maid, you won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"
The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but look at Liu Yunxiang.
Liu Yunxiang simply gritted his teeth and kowtowed a few times, "Your Majesty, even if you execute this slave today, I still have to say that the good concubine was unjustly accused, please see clearly!"
The maids standing outside the palace saw everything that happened inside and realized that they had misunderstood Liu Yunxiang. They were all worried about her at this moment.
And everyone in the palace was afraid to show off their arrogance. They were thinking about the background of this palace maid, and they were too courageous.
"Your Majesty, since you look tired, can I make you a pot of tea to calm you down?" Jin You said gently.
The emperor nodded and was about to send Liu Yunxiang away when a guard came in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the good concubine was bitten by a white snake in the cold palace!"
The emperor was startled for a moment, then he was shocked, "What did you say? A white snake?"
"yes!"
"What's going on?"
"According to Concubine Liang, she dreamed last night that a white snake was about to bite the Holy Lord... on your neck. She immediately rushed over and pulled the white snake down. The white snake was very fierce and turned around to wrap around Concubine Liang's neck.
Bite it hard, almost breaking your throat.
The good concubine woke up from her dream and suddenly saw a white snake on the bedside. Thinking that it might harm you, she rushed towards it. Although she strangled the white snake to death, she was bitten hard and shed a lot of blood. When the slave went in
, Liangfei’s face is pale and she is about to die.”
So everyone thought it was nonsense, and some concubines even laughed out loud.
"It's really novel. The good concubine saved the emperor in his dream. Who would believe it if I tell you this!"
As soon as the concubine finished speaking, she saw the emperor giving her a cold look, and she almost fell down from the chair.
Obviously everyone thinks so!
Of course, only the stupid one would say it!
"Where is the snake?" the emperor asked.
"Outside, the slaves dare not bring it in for fear of offending the nobles."
After hearing this, the emperor walked out quickly and saw the white snake under the steps, which was exactly the same as the one in the dream. He immediately shouted: "Is the good concubine okay?"
"The good concubine wants to see you."
"Bring the people quickly!"
Jin You was still a little confused. A three-year-old child wouldn't believe this kind of rescue in a dream. The emperor changed his attitude and wanted to see the good concubine. Why don't her affairs be exposed?
She couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously looked at Liu Yunxiang. Seeing that she was also looking at her, the corners of her mouth slowly raised.
Everything is her plan!
