Yanmenchun

Chapter 40

This situation is very similar to that in Qiushou a few months ago, when Shen Tuchan and the eighth princess knelt in the hall to part.

The emperor looked at Princess Baoqing and said, "Baoqing, you go first."

The eighth princess's teeth tightened heavily, and her eyes were fixed on Princess Baoqing.

The room was full of eyes at that time, Princess Baoqing sneered and said truthfully: "The maid of Yubi said that Yubi likes Miss Shentu, and asked Miss Shentu to serve her to take medicine, Miss Shentu came forward with a medicine bowl, and the result I don't know why I slipped and fell to the ground, and the medicine bowl accidentally splashed on Sister Bahuang, and Sister Bahuang lifted the medicine bowl to Empress Yubi, who slipped and fell to hide the medicine bowl .”

She said it impartially, but the eighth princess raised her eyebrows: "It is obvious that Miss Shentu threw the medicine bowl on me and my mother, and we both jumped! Baoqing, you can't just because Miss Shentu helped you Take sides with her!"

The emperor looked at Shen Tuchan with very cold eyes, Princess Baoqing was startled, and was about to speak when the imperial physician came out from the inner room.

"Your Majesty, Empress Yubi's dragon fetus was not kept."

The emperor's gaze shifted from the imperial physician to Shen Tuchan, and the eighth princess could hardly control the ecstasy in her heart.

However, Shen Tuchan shook her head heavily and said: "Your Majesty, the court lady fell backwards, and there are still bruises. The eighth princess sits closest to the court lady. Your Majesty will ask the maid to inspect the court lady to know!"

The queen who hadn't spoken all this time said: "Miss Shentu, do you know that this does not prove that you are completely innocent."

Shen Tuchan fell on the ground, and she said in a sad voice: "I beg your mother to ask His Highness the Thirteenth Prince to testify for me!"

Princess Ningguo has been coaxed by the maid of the palace.

The queen's eyes were suddenly sharp, and the emperor's eyes wandered between Shen Tuchan and the eighth princess.

Shen Tuchan said again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Thirteenth is only ten years old. She has only met the courtier's daughter twice in private. She will never favor the courtier's daughter. Children have the most discerning eyes. I beg Your Majesty to let the princess testify!"

The fists under the sleeves of Princess Eight were clenched tightly. She didn't pay attention to Princess Ningguo at all. There was chaos at that time. Princess Ningguo was a little girl who only knew how to play. Who would ask her anything.

The eighth princess couldn't bear it any longer and said: "How could the thirteenth imperial sister pay attention to these things, Miss Shentu, don't gossip!"

The emperor's moment of silence seemed to take away the air in the room, and even Princess Baoqing couldn't help but breathe lightly.

After a long time, when the queen was about to speak, the emperor said: "Xuan Ningguo."

Shentuchan lowered her head and looked lightly at the carpet embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. The eighth princess also lowered her eyes at this moment, not knowing what she was thinking.

Princess Ningguo was embraced by her mother, and she stared at Shentuchan who was kneeling on the ground as soon as she entered the door. The queen smiled and said, "Xuanyu, tell the queen what you saw when Miss Shentu fell down just now? Why are you crying?" ?”

Princess Ningguo pursed her lips, put her arms around the queen's neck, looked at the eighth princess and then at Shen Tuchan: "A-chan accidentally fell down, and the bowl fell on the eighth sister, maybe it was hot, eighth Huang Jie lifted her hands and splashed it on the Empress Jade Concubine, who must have been afraid of being hot, and wanted to hide, so she slipped down, and Ah-Chan fell backwards, with a resounding sound!"

The eighth princess had blue veins on her forehead, and before she could say anything, Princess Ningguo said again: "I saw blood under the skirt of Empress Yubi, a lot of blood."

The eighth princess's uncontrollable anger interrupted her remaining words: "Sister Thirteenth Emperor, don't talk nonsense!"

The eunuch over there came in to report, the emperor raised his hand, only to hear the big eunuch say: "My servant picked up a few jade beads at the place where Miss Shentu fell, and when I went, a little eunuch picked them up and wanted to leave."

The emperor's face suddenly became very ugly. No matter whether the people below did it on purpose or not, they were all the masterminds who caused Jade Concubine to have a miscarriage. It is unclear whether the bead is waiting for Jade Concubine to step on it or to implicate Shen Tuchan. .

Shen Tuchan was just the one involved, she was just lucky that she didn't spill the soup on Yubi today.

The eighth princess looked at the emperor anxiously and said loudly: "Father, the thirteenth imperial sister is young, what does she know, maybe she was deceived by Baoqing and Shen Tuchan!"

Before Princess Baoqing and Shen Tuchan could refute, the emperor glanced coldly at the eighth princess, and said, "Take the court ladies and eunuchs involved to the Punishment Division, and find out who is trying to kill the jade concubine, Yuan Zhi, and confine the third princess." In a month, copy the scriptures ten times."

After the emperor finished speaking, he waved to the people below.

Coming out of Cuiwei Palace, Princess Baoqing couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, the sadness on Shen Tuchan's face had completely faded away, like a normal person.

Princess Ningguo was also carried out by the nanny, and when she passed by Shen Tuchan, she smiled and said, "Achan, I have to look carefully."

The nanny carried her and walked away.

Princess Baoqing's gaze became very cold, Shen Tuchan met that gaze and said: "Princess, His Highness the Eighth Prince will not let me go, what's wrong with asking His Highness the Thirteenth to look at me?"

Princess Baoqing's gaze did not soften: "That's all?"

"You can ask His Highness Thirteenth." Shen Tuchan's tone was very serious.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Princess Baoqing withdrew his eyes first, and finally said in a normal tone: "You fell down, right?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head.

Princess Taian was still in Changchun Palace, Shentuchan bowed gracefully: "Did you disappoint His Highness?"

Princess Tai'an smiled slightly, looked at Shen Tuchan, and said to Princess Baoqing: "Of course not! Look, there must be one or two top-notch ladies in the capital."

Princess Baoqing gave the two of them a supercilious look and said nothing.

Shen Tuchan smiled and said: "Just now the princess was very worried about me, it was my fault, if this kind of thing happens in the future, I will definitely talk to the princess in advance, don't be angry."

Princess Baoqing was actually not angry, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did Concubine Yu do this?"

Shen Tuchan didn't speak, Princess Tai'an pushed a little blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine on the table to Shen Tuchan's side and said, "I don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, and it's only been two months. Getting down is even more of a problem, isn't it easy for Concubine Rong Gui to exchange some real benefits?"

Princess Baoqing's face looked much better now: "What did Concubine Shu say?"

Princess Taian nodded.

Shen Tuchan held the small medicine bottle in her hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

However, Princess Tai'an looked her up and down: "You waste so much energy, Jiang Yuanrui will only be confined for three months, no matter what I think, I don't think it's worthwhile."

Shen Tuchan couldn't help but pulled the cork on the jade bottle and said: "Your Highness, she is the princess, as long as it is not a big event, what can I do with her? But if the dog is tied for a long time, it is most likely to go crazy and do something." irreparable matter."

Princess Baoqing snorted: "For example?"

"Please wait and see."

As soon as Shen Tuchan returned to the mansion, the maid in her courtyard came to report, and someone handed her a letter.

The concierge brought it over from a little beggar he didn't know.

Xiaoman opened the envelope and checked it again and again, and then said: "Miss, why are you not surprised at all, do you know who gave it to you?"

Xiao Manzai checked it carefully before handing it to Shen Tuchan. Shen Tuchan didn't say anything, just shook the paper away.

There is only one sentence written on it: people have been rescued, Ming Dynasty, Qingfeng.

See you tomorrow morning at Qingfeng Teahouse.

Shen Tuchan put the paper on the candle and lit it, then turned to Xiao Man and said, "Go ask Wu Niang to go out with me tomorrow."
