"Concubine Ning, do you know why I want you to come here today?"
Concubine Ning shook her head vigorously, her face turned pale in panic, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, "I don't know, I... I... I..."
"I heard that you gave the imperial concubine a severe lesson in the imperial garden a few days ago. Is this true?"
Concubine Ning knelt down with a "thud" and hit her knees hard on the hard ground, but she felt no pain.
"How dare I be so presumptuous? I... I just wanted to say hello to the imperial concubine's sister. Yes, I have Dongmei Chunmei to testify, I..."
"You still dare to mention these two dog slaves of yours who are working for the tiger?" Chu Shen narrowed his eyes coldly, glanced at the two trembling slaves, and snorted, "Two unscrupulous slaves and evil maids, they don't know how to persuade their master, and they are working for the tiger.
, What audacity! You deserve to die."
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Eunuch Ling took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said loudly, "The emperor has decreed that the two maids of Yongfu Palace rebelled against the master. Their crime is unforgivable. They should be dragged out of Chengwumen immediately and executed!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..." The two women were dumbfounded and rolled over and kowtowed to beg for mercy. "I didn't take action against the Imperial Concubine. I didn't. It was Concubine Ning who did it herself. I have so much courage."
I don’t dare to mess with the imperial concubine."
"Your Majesty, please help me, Your Majesty, please save this slave, Your Majesty." Chunmei Dongmei crawled over and tugged on Concubine Ning's clothes with tears in her eyes and prayed hard.
Concubine Ning, however, was so frightened that her lips trembled. She suddenly swept away her two hands and immediately drew a clear line with them. She knelt and walked forward, "Your Majesty, it's none of my business. They took it upon themselves to offend the imperial concubine, please."
Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with my concubine!"
"Concubine Ning, how could you do this?" The two maidservants were horrified and climbed up and grabbed her by the corners of her clothes, "I'm just doing things according to your wishes. It was you who said you wanted to show off to the imperial concubine.
, you slipped and fell in the imperial garden, but you fell on the imperial concubine's head."
Concubine Ning turned around and slapped Chunmei hard on the face. Her face was twisted with anger, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense. Every word I say is absolutely true. Please tell me from your Majesty." Chunmei Dongmei crawled forward, opened her mouth, and said, "It's Concubine Ning who saw the Imperial Concubine and went up to find her."
The imperial concubine was in trouble. She took advantage of the fact that she was pregnant with a dragon seed and kept provoking the imperial concubine. Later, when she saw that the imperial concubine was trying to avoid her, she was unwilling to go up and pushed the imperial concubine into the pool. All the slaves saw this with their own eyes.
Every word is the truth. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is none of your slave's business. Your slave obeys your master's will and does not dare to disobey. After that, Concubine Ning stepped on a broken log, slipped and broke.
However, all this depends on the imperial concubine. This is all Concubine Ning’s own will and has nothing to do with the slaves!"
"Concubine Ning!" Chu Shen was furious and asked, "Is what they said true?"
Concubine Ning shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, your Majesty, this is not true. Don't listen to these two unscrupulous slaves. I never pushed the imperial concubine into the pond, nor did I wrong the imperial concubine. No, no, absolutely not."
.Your Majesty, these two cheap maids are talking nonsense, and they want to drag this concubine into the water when they are about to die. Your Majesty, please do not listen to their nonsense."
"Your Majesty, Concubine De, Concubine Ni, Concubine Li and Guiren have also seen this matter. Your Majesty knows it clearly."
Concubine De, Concubine Ni, Concubine Li and Guiren suddenly knelt down together, their three faces as white as paper. Unexpectedly, the fire was so strong that it even burned them all.
"Concubine De, tell me! What is going on?"
Concubine De's face turned pale, and she kept twisting the handkerchief with her hands. She knocked her head to the ground with a deep bang, "I deserve death. It's my fault that I didn't stop Concubine Ning in time."
"You knew that such a big thing had happened, but you still went on to make fools of yourself. If you didn't report what you knew, your crime will be increased."
Concubine De clenched her fists and couldn't help but tremble all over, "Your Majesty, I am concubine, how dare I do this? It was the Queen Mother who brought me back to Yongfu Palace, and kept me and others outside, even if I had the intention
It's not a waste of time to go and help. What's more, the Queen Mother Fengyan was furious and believed what Concubine Ning said and mistakenly believed that the imperial concubine was plotting to kill the emperor's heir. The situation was very chaotic at that time. The concubine also made a mistake in the chaos and forgot to report it to the emperor. If
This is also a big mistake, then, I beg the emperor to punish me severely, I will not complain at all."
"Concubine De, don't think that you can avoid the edge by saying some high-sounding words. I am going to punish you! Not just a punishment, but a heavy punishment. You were the first to enter the palace, you are a little older, and you have always been generous.
You can stop this farce, but you turn a blind eye and let it develop, which is a shameful thing."
In the garden, people kneeling on the ground all buried their heads, their shoulders trembling.
To be honest, Qin'er didn't know what was happening. She also thought the scene in front of her was very funny...
So many brothers and sisters were kneeling in a mess, twisting and shaking, and shaking like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind. Only the few men beside me stood as straight as the wind.
She wanted to run down and kneel down to play with them, but her little hands were grabbed and she couldn't move at all.
She was unhappy, staring at Chu Shen and twisting her little hands.
Chu Shen pulled her to his side and held her close.
His angry and clear voice sounded from above her head.
"Concubine De, since you are temporarily in charge of the harem, you should be more cautious than other concubines and assume the responsibility of supervision. Not only did you fail to set an example, you even fanned the flames and watched the fight from afar."
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged." Concubine De suddenly raised her head, her face pale and frightened.
"Whether I have wronged you or not, you know best in your heart." Chu Shen waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to listen to her excuses anymore, "I will fine you a year's worth of money now, and you will not be allowed to step out of Dexiang within a month.
Half a step to the palace. Are you convinced?"
"I obey my decree." The moment Concubine De kowtowed deeply, tears came to her eyes.
"As for Concubine Ning." Chu Shen raised the corner of his lips slightly, bringing up a cold smile, "It is a heinous crime to rush into the concubine arrogantly and seek to take the concubine's life. After that, he wronged the concubine and complained in front of the Queen Mother, and colluded with the evildoers.
Zhou Chang of the Inner Court Bureau secretly wanted to kill the imperial concubine without telling me. How should I punish you?"
Concubine Ning was trembling like a gossamer, and her whole body was like a block of ice. From her body to her heart, she felt as cold as ice.
Her fingertips couldn't help but dig into the flesh, and she didn't realize it when she saw red. She just hated her, her hatred was as deep as the sea. She thought that as the daughter of Ning Guogong, in terms of status, family background, beauty and talent, how could she be inferior to the imperial concubine? But why does the emperor
Just refuse to give her a second glance?
It doesn't matter, she still has this treasure in her belly, the emperor will definitely not be willing to punish her...
