Donggong Zhangjiao

I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy.

What Empress Li said seemed to be an accusation, but it was actually a threat, and she directly wanted to get the third princess out.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the goddess of the palace froze, and the muscles on her face began to tremble slightly. Her whole complexion was as pale as paper, but because of the excitement in her heart, her eye sockets were extremely red with tears.

In the next second, the maid glanced at where the third princess was, then plopped down on her knees, crying.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant didn't mean to harm Empress Rui. This servant was obsessed with ghosts for a while. Thinking, thinking that Empress Rui was already favored. If she gave birth to a prince, she might want to take away the emperor's favor even more. In this way, not to mention the loss of power and the suffering of the empress, the princess has reached the age suitable for marriage, without the emperor's favor, it will be difficult to marry a good husband and son-in-law!"

"So you joined forces with this dog slave to murder Concubine Rui, and you still want to borrow a knife to kill someone?!" Emperor Chengjing was furious, wishing to go forward and tear the person in front of him.

Seeing this, Pei Yao calmly reminded him beside him.

"Uncle Huang, there is a reason for Mrs. Yang's fall and injury, but there is still something strange about why the strings of the zither suddenly broke."

"That's right, just now everyone thought that He Liangdi's piano skills were not good, and the strings were broken at the rapid climax of the tune, which disrupted the pace of Concubine Yang's sword dance, and Concubine Yang fell down and injured people. Planning to make Concubine Yang fall down, it's a coincidence that these two things happened together."

Fang Yun added softly beside him.

After the two of them finished talking, they saw the maid's body trembling again, despair gradually appeared on her face, and her body seemed to have been pulled out of bones, and she became limp.

In the end, choking with sobs, he struggled to squeeze out a word from his throat.

"It's also done by the servant. When the servant is preparing the qin, he uses a sharp object to cut across the strings in a hidden place. Therefore, when the qin is played hard and fast, it will definitely break."

After saying this, she took a deep breath and seemed to have some strength again.

Kowtow to Emperor Chengjing.

"If the emperor wants to punish, punish the servants. This is all done by the servants alone. It has nothing to do with the princess. The princess doesn't know anything about it!"

"Father, my daughter really doesn't know anything, so please enlighten me!"

The third princess immediately followed, her voice was crying and urgent, very pitiful.

Empress Li also immediately walked up to Emperor Chengjing and bowed her body to salute, she said with a face of shame.

"Your Majesty, what happened today is the fault of the concubine's negligence. The concubine knew that sister Ruipin was about to give birth, so she didn't invite her to come. I didn't expect that sister Ruipin would come, and this happened. She has reached the age of marriage, but she is still young after all, she is not strict with her subordinates, and there are always negligence. This person was appointed by a concubine to serve her. After all, the concubine does not know who she is. Please don't blame Yu'er. Punish your ministers and concubines!"

The palace lady had already taken all the blame, and Empress Li kept hinting that what happened today was all because Concubine Rui insisted on coming to join in the fun.

He also reminded Emperor Chengjing that the third princess has reached the age of marriage, if she is charged with some bad crimes at this time, her boudoir reputation will be stained, and it will be difficult to choose a husband in the future.

The child in Concubine Rui's womb is the child of Emperor Chengjing, and the third princess is also the daughter of the prostitute who has been loved by Emperor Chengjing for many years, so naturally her heart will soften.

Seeing that Emperor Chengjing's face softened a little, Empress Li continued to exert her strength.

"Sister Ruipin is probably about to give birth at this moment, and this matter should be settled sooner, so as not to have long nights of dreams and troubles again. After all, the safety of sister Ruipin's mother and child is more important."

"Come here, drag these two dog slaves out to me and chop them up!"

Emperor Chengjing shouted coldly.

As soon as these words came out, it meant that he had already finalized the matter.

It was this court lady who committed the following crimes, murdering Concubine Rui and blaming He Liangdi and Concubine Yang.

Fang Yun glanced at Pei Yao silently, and saw that his face was calm, and he didn't seem surprised.

Thinking about it, if it was some unremarkable concubine who did the harm this time, it would probably end up similar to this court lady, but the one who did it was the emperor's own daughter.

No matter how favored Rui Concubine was, she was also Zhang Zonghe's adopted daughter, and Zhang Zonghe belonged to Pei Yao. Last time, Emperor Chengjing had a quarrel with Empress Li and even the Li family for Rui Concubine's advancement to the throne.

This time someone has already taken the blame, and it is impossible for Emperor Chengjing to insist on letting his own daughter take the blame.

So Fang Yun put down the matter in his heart that there was something wrong with the lottery box.

Let's talk about it now, it's out of date, so don't chase after the so-called poor.

What's more, Emperor Chengjing has now stated that he will no longer pursue the responsibility of the third princess, so there is no need for Fang Yun to be stubborn.

Anyway, this time, even if Emperor Cheng Jing didn't say anything on the face, he must have some estrangement between Empress Li and the three princesses, mother and daughter.

This is inevitable.

After disposing of these two slaves, the third princess's condition was not very good, with a pale face, almost relying on Queen Li's support to survive.

Emperor Chengjing was obviously in a bad mood, even a fool could see that although he had dealt with two scapegoats, he was still angry.

Everyone at the scene dared not show their air, for fear that a careless move would offend Emperor Chengjing.

At this time, Fang Yun was a little envious of Yang Shi and He Shi. These two people have now cleared their grievances, and they no longer punished to kneel, and directly let them go back.

Because she has been by Pei Yao's side all the time, Fang Yun is forced to participate in the whole production process of Ruipin.

Probably sensing Fang Yun's unease, Pei Yao remained calm and patted her hand lightly under the cover of his sleeve.

Fang Yun was a little surprised by this move, but he did feel more at ease in his heart.

He also gently squeezed Pei Yao's fingertips in response.

After all, Concubine Rui was very lucky. This trip lasted for nearly three hours, and finally gave birth to a little prince safely.

The fifth prince of Daqi.

Emperor Cheng Jing, who had been depressed for a long time, finally showed a smile. He was so happy that he was so happy that he was beyond words.

Empress Li's eyes were gloomy, but she still had to smile, so she looked extremely awkward.

The third princess couldn't even smile, she pulled the corners of her mouth, which was uglier than crying, which meant that the eldest prince was a little better.

Naturally, Pei Yao and Fang Yun congratulated with normal expressions, while Concubine Chen Gui and the second prince, mother and son, also expressed very relaxed.

So it became more and more embarrassing for Queen Li and the others.

However, Emperor Chengjing put all his attention on the fifth prince and didn't pay attention to them.

With a big wave of his hand, he asked someone to bring the warm sedan chair, and sent Ruipin's mother and son back. It was another huge reward, and followed him like flowing water.

Everyone smiled and waited, and after Emperor Chengjing and Ruipin's mother and son left, they all dispersed quickly.

Pei Yao was also tired, so he didn't say anything about going back to his bedroom, and went directly to Fang Yun's.

On Queen Li's side, neither the eldest prince nor the third princess brother and sister left.

Now that there were no outsiders present, the third princess fell on Queen Li's knee and began to cry.

"Mother, blame that bitch Fang. If it wasn't for her, how could I miss today? Xiaoqing wouldn't have died in the first place. It's Rui Concubine and that bitch who should be damned. It's all Fang's fault. Why didn't she go?" die!"
