Qingyang interrupted him: "Huaye, don't talk so much nonsense. What Prince Liang wants is a matter between men. Jade concubines are just being used and framed by traitors."
"But such a woman is like an unfed wolf. She will bite the emperor at any time." Huaye retorted unwillingly.
Emperor Xuanguang said calmly: "Whether she is a wolf that is not well-raised or well-raised, as long as she is my woman for one day, you have to save her. If I don't want her to die, you have to let her live."
Although the tone is light, it is full of the domineering power of a king
"I...understand" Huaye lowered his head
Qingyang asked: "What is the emperor's plan? That Hui'er can no longer stay with Jade Concubine. Do you want to remind Jade Concubine?"
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanguang sneered: "Of course, let her also try what it feels like to be betrayed by the people around her."
Concubine Ning took the Queen Mother's sign and went to the storm room with Jin He.
This prison room is located in the most remote and coldest place in the palace. It contains the palace servants who have committed crimes in the harem.
"Concubine Jade said that no one is allowed to see Jinju, Concubine Ning, master, you should go back," the eunuch guarding the door said in a strange tone.
Concubine Ning said coldly: "You dog slaves can see it clearly. This is the Queen Mother and the token. The Queen Mother asked me to interrogate the maid who committed the crime. Can you still stop it?"
The two eunuchs looked at each other, and Eunuch Hei came to explain to them in person. Eunuch Hei was the queen's wife.
But the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all and cannot be offended?
Concubine Ning's voice became even colder: "Although the concubine is in charge of the harem, the power of the Queen Mother cannot be questioned. Do you want to offend the Queen Mother for this?"
One of the eunuchs sounded kinder: "Well, Master Ning Fei, it's not like I don't want you to come in..."
Jin He said: "Don't worry, Master Ning just asked her a few words on behalf of the Queen Mother and left after saying that. She won't waste any time."
After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened the door and said, "Master, please come in and out quickly, don't waste time."
Another eunuch led them in. It was dark inside and had an unbearable smell. Concubine Ning frowned and covered her nose with a handkerchief full of fragrance.
Went all the way to the last cell
Jinju was locked inside alone, hugging her knees and burying her head in her knees, as if she was asleep.
The eunuch shouted: "Hey, Concubine Ning is here to see you, why don't you get up quickly?"
Then he bowed and said: "Master, I won't bother you to convey the Queen Mother's wishes, but please hurry up and don't make it difficult for the slave."
He left without opening the door to let Concubine Ning in.
Jin Ju slowly raised her head, looking a little haggard. When she saw Concubine Ning, her gloomy eyes regained some energy. She knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "This slave deserves to die. Concubine Ning, please save this slave and get out."
Jin He sneered: "You can't do anything small, and you still want the master to save you?"
Jinju kowtowed again and begged: "I am the master's servant. I was too careless and exposed the matter. But I resisted the matter and never confessed the master. For the sake of my loyalty, the master will expose the matter."
"Slave, rescue me"
Concubine Ning smiled affectionately: "Jinju, do you have a father and a mother in your family, as well as younger brothers and sisters?"
Jin Ju was shocked. Back then, her family was too poor, with a total of five brothers and sisters. Her parents could not afford to support her, so she sent herself to the monk temple on the mountain. Li Yan also felt pity for her, so he gave her the opportunity.
