It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 399

The emperor's eyes showed a soft color, and he pointed to the teapot beside him and said, "Drink it yourself when you arrive."

Deng Qiquan was busy all night tonight, and indeed he didn't drink a sip of tea. Seeing what the emperor said, he poured a cup of tea and drank it, waiting for the hot tea to drink, and then he felt better. Said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea."

The emperor responded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Deng Qiquan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I went to investigate Xu's family overnight, but because the time is too tight, the matter in Huai'an still needs time, but the matter in the capital is clearly investigated. Ms. Ding and his nephew came to Beijing within a month. At first, they were not brought directly into the Xu Mansion, but lived in a separate courtyard on the outskirts of the city. Come out, the child seems to be very naughty, and often sneaks out. Miss Na Ding likes to vent her anger on the child, and beats him every now and then. It just so happens that there is someone from Maosheng Ding's family in Huai'an, so I asked someone to identify it. Said that the lady is indeed from the Ding family... At that time, because her father died of illness, she went to the clan to ask for money when she couldn't live on. I remembered it at that time. In the end, she offended the clan leader because of her harsh words, and she was kicked out directly. On the streets."

The emperor looked gloomy, and said, "The child looks very imaginative to me, and there are jade pendants and other evidence in his hand... Besides, how could the empress dowager find a fake one, she can't bear it long ago." The emperor Said with a sneer.

Deng Qiquan didn't know what to say, he knew that the emperor always respected the empress dowager, and the empress dowager's move today seemed to have a great chance of winning, but it actually broke the emperor's heart. From this point of view, perhaps it was just a stupid decision.

"Continue to investigate, and let me find out what happened in Huai'an. I want to know... when did their Xu family keep this hole card." The emperor held the teacup tightly, his voice was like He said in a cold voice that popped out between his teeth.

Deng Qiquan shivered, knowing that the emperor was really angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more, he bowed his head and stepped back, leaving the emperor sitting alone in the study, under the dim light, His face became more and more gloomy and cold.

When Qian Siming came back from the outside, she angrily took off the light green silver pattern embroidered butterfly flower beanie on her body and threw it on the ground, stepped on it fiercely, and the maid beside her picked up the clothes distressedly and said, " Girl, this dress is worth ten taels of silver, Madam will definitely be angry when she sees you ruining clothes like this."

"I just stomp on it, I just want to stomp on it!" Qian Siming stepped on the clothes angrily, making the maid hardly know what to do.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Mrs. Li, who was wearing a lilac-colored makeup and flower gown, came in, only to see the servant girl squatting on the ground, the clothes with several footprints on it, and the angry daughter, who couldn't bear it. He couldn't help frowning and said, "My aunt, what are you doing?"

The servant girl said with a mournful face, "Ma'am, the young lady started to lose her temper when she came back from outside. This dress was specially bought by the lady from the Linglong Pavilion Embroidery Workshop. One piece was only ten taels of silver, and she was entrusted to someone else to buy it. It doesn't seem to bother you."

This maid named Ping'er is the big maid next to Li Shi, and she came to serve Qian Siming later, so she is not afraid of Qian Siming like ordinary maids.
