After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 298 This palace depends on how long you can be arrogant
All the people in the prime minister's mansion were brought under control. Out of various considerations, the emperor did not send Prime Minister Zhang to prison, but was just detained at home.

The emperor sighed, "Get up first, you still have a child in your womb, so you should be more careful at ordinary times."

Concubine Li didn't get up, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then said pleadingly: "Then the emperor let the concubine's family go for the sake of the child in the concubine's womb, my father is already a hundred As the head of the official, he would never do anything to assassinate the emperor, and he is not stupid, it must be others who wronged him."

When the emperor saw that she dared to use the child to pinch him, the expression on his face changed instantly.

He flipped through the royal case, took out a few memorials and threw them on the ground, "Concubine Li, take a look, if you still think I should let him go after reading it, I have nothing to say!
It is impossible for him to assassinate me, but he has done a lot of things by accepting bribes to eliminate dissidents. I have already found out these things, just because of his previous achievements, and now that you are pregnant, you want to let him go a horse.

But he sent the spy Ma Song into the palace with his own hands, colluded with the prince of Beiliang, and assassinated me while saving him. Even if I sentenced him to be executed, he would not be wronged! "

Concubine Li's face became more and more ugly, and she didn't even have the courage to pick up the few memorials on the ground.

She knew that what the emperor said should be true, because her father was a poor scholar when he was young, and his family had no property, so he borrowed the travel expenses to go to Beijing to catch the exam. , her grandfather was the deceased Uncle Huaiyang, and it was through his grandfather's connections that her father was able to gain a firm foothold in Beijing.

But my grandfather's family is not very rich, and he gave his mother a lot of dowry. How could he, a scholar who can't do business, climb to the top of the hundred officials in just over twenty years, and he still has countless money in his hands? of?
Even if he is a dignified first-rank prime minister, his salary alone can't even support the servants in the family, so where did the money come from?
There is only one answer, greedy.

"Your Majesty, no matter what he has done, he has always been the concubine's father. Can you let him go, just for the sake of the concubine, okay?"

She was very smart this time, and she didn't mention the fetus in her womb...

The emperor's complexion was rare, and then he helped her up from the ground: "You are pregnant, don't worry about these things, Zhang Xiang knows how to do it."

Concubine Li felt a "click" in her heart, the emperor didn't want her father to apologize with death, did he?
The reason why she got the position of Concubine Li as soon as she entered the palace was not because her father was the current prime minister and the head of all officials.

If something happened to her father, she would know how difficult it would be for her in the palace in the future!
"What are you thinking about? For the sake of the child in your womb, I will not kill Zhang Xiang."

That's right, from the beginning to the end, he never thought of taking the life of Zhang Xiang, including Qin Xiang. The salaries of officials are too low. It is very difficult for them not to be greedy. If they are greedy for 1000 taels, they will be dragged away. Beheading, it is estimated that there will be no more than two civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

But Zhang Xiang used his position to become too greedy, and it is a fact that he bullied and wronged and framed other officials. Now that he uses the Ma Song incident to associate Zhang Cheng in his family, he should understand that resigning from office is his only choice. The way out, so that he won't have a bad reputation.

This was also the reason why he was willing to see Concubine Li today.

He knew that Concubine Li's family had a way to contact her, and she naturally had a way to send a message to her family. If Zhang Xiang couldn't make the right choice after the word was brought to him, then he couldn't blame him.

Concubine Li heard that the emperor didn't touch her father because of her pregnancy, she immediately covered her stomach with her hands, she must protect this in her stomach, and then give birth to her safely, in case her father If something really happened, this child would be her future amulet!
"Your Majesty, will you no longer like concubines because of your father?"

The emperor touched her hand: "What are you talking about? What does it have to do with your father whether I like you or not? Don't think about it all day long. The key is to protect my emperor now. Listen clearly ?"

I never liked you even with your father, so it's the same without him!

Concubine Li hurriedly nodded her head obediently, although what happened to her father, the emperor still treated her the same as before, which made her feel relieved.

After staying in Chaoyang Palace for more than half an hour, Concubine Li's eyes were swollen like peaches when she came out, but she felt much more at ease in her heart.

Concubine Xue has been annoyed by Concubine Li a lot these days when she entered the palace, and now that Prime Minister Zhang has an accident, she is the happiest person in the palace.

Just now I heard the news that Concubine Li went to Chaoyang Palace to cry, she didn’t even have lunch, so she stopped on the way to watch Li Concubine’s jokes, “Oh, isn’t this our beautiful and precious Concubine Li? Who messed with my sister, why are my eyes swollen like this? Giggle... By the way, I almost forgot my memory, you are the emperor's favorite, who in the palace dares to bully our concubine Li?

The empress must be crying because she misses her parents at home, tsk tsk tsk ~ Don't worry, sister, even if Zhang Xiang is detained at home now, the emperor will not embarrass Zhang Xiang for his sister's sake. "

Concubine Li was not surprised to see Concubine Xue jumping out so impatiently to find her presence, but she was not worried, because she was still carrying the emperor's dragon seed in her belly, as long as the emperor still liked her, then she would still be the high-ranking Li concubine.

Concubine Xue is just a pawn sent by Fanbang for marriage, even if she doesn't have this piece of meat in her stomach, her status is not as good as her own.

"My sister is right. The emperor will not embarrass my father. Who will let the emperor like me? This is because my sister can't be jealous!"

After all, she let the eunuch carry the shoulder chariot and left without even stopping.

Concubine Xue looked at her back with gloom in her eyes, "Bitch, I want to see how long you can be arrogant."

Her close maid said: "Judging from Concubine Li's tone, could it be that the emperor has already planned to release his prime minister? Otherwise, why is Concubine Li's tone so determined?"

Concubine Xue gritted her teeth angrily, but soon she ordered the servants beside her: "Go and find out what Li Concubine and the Emperor said today, that bitch might be playing tricks on the air, hum, I don't believe it, Prime Minister Zhang and the Emperor The spies of the enemy country are in collusion, and if she cries, the emperor will soften her heart and let her go?"

……

After Concubine Li returned to the palace, she recalled the emperor's words in Chaoyang Palace from the beginning to the end, but her IQ was limited after all, and she never thought of the deep meaning of the emperor's words, so she simply said that the conversation between her and the emperor was almost the same. I copied it badly.Then I gave it to my dowry maid, "immediately find a way to send it back to the mansion, and hand it over to the prime minister, so that no one will find out."

The servant girl bowed and said yes, took the letter and withdrew.
