The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

1127 Chapter 16 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
Xueyan sighed: "Either you are powerful, or you are lonely. Is there a third way for the concubines in the harem?"

Concubine Ning didn't say a word, she just leaned on the corner of the table, staring at the floating Juying in the tea, and said after a long time: "No, unless you are willing to be stepped on for the rest of your life, but how do you know that others are willing to step on you?" Are you willing to step on your body, or step on your corpse?"

Xueyan lowered her eyes slightly, feeling at a loss as she didn't know how to answer the words, Concubine Ning's carriage suddenly fell into silence.

On the emperor's dragon chariot, Xiao Jun flipped through the memorials at hand, looking at each one and throwing one away, her expression became more and more ugly.

Qingchen sat beside him calmly and helped him tidy up, patiently refolded the messy memorial on the ground and put it back to its original place. Occasionally, a few words fell into his eyes, all accusing her of harboring evil intentions, covering her sleeves for greed, and trampling The Empress of the Yuan Dynasty plotted against her in the harem, as if she had become a Daji Baosi who would bring disaster to the country and the people.

The emperor couldn't stand it any longer, he threw the memorial in his hand heavily, and said angrily: "The empress committed suicide by committing suicide. I have been extraordinarily merciful in not pursuing her crime, but there are still people who want to make use of it. If I punish you for this crime, then It must be the capital crime of beheading, there is no room for you to repent, they are forcing me, and I hate being persecuted the most!"

Seeing the emperor's livid face, Qingchen poured a cup of tea calmly, handed it to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's too hot outside, don't get angry and hurt the dragon's body. Yes, can I let the concubine pay attention? It is the concubine's fault that he did not handle this matter well and caused trouble for the emperor.

The concubine knew that if the eunuch and the court lady committed suicide, they would even implicate her family members in the crime, not to mention the empress, who went like this, would really damage the face of the royal family.

Everyone knew that when the concubine went to Bingquan Palace, the queen committed suicide, wouldn't they think that the concubine forced the queen to death?Besides, few people knew about the fact that the Empress Rouge was poisoned. Who would have thought that it was the empress who summoned her concubines to question her?Looking at it now, it's okay not to know, if this matter is also publicized, I am afraid that this crime will also be placed on the head of the concubine. "

"How can I blame you for this matter? If you want to read these things, you can watch them, but I still think it's better for you not to read them, so as not to be angry and hurt yourself." The emperor took a few sips of tea to calm down. He said again: "No matter what you said to the queen, if she knows the general situation, she can ask someone to report to me and let me make the decision for her. If I knew she would be like this, why should I have the benevolence of that thought?"

Qingchen took a booklet on the table and looked at it carefully, and said indifferently: "The concubine didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, she just talked about the facts, if there were any inappropriate words, before Zheyue committed suicide that day, She will definitely report the truth to the emperor, but she only has one sentence, saying that the concubine forced the queen to death, but it was just an unwilling struggle and slander before she died."

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly held her hand and said: "Chen'er, don't worry too much, I didn't suspect what you meant, it was just something out of anger. I know you won't do this, force the queen to death, It is not beneficial to you at the moment, but it will put you in trouble like now."

Shouting his lips, Qingchen changed the subject indifferently, and persuaded softly: "The emperor closes his eyes and rests for a while, there is still half a day's journey away. The concubine is thinking, because of the empress's funeral these few days, the emperor If there is no court, there will be no chance for some people to express their feelings, and when they get to the palace, the emperor may not be at peace, and the concubines only ask the emperor, no matter what, don't get angry."

Xiao Jun also knows that if there is no explanation for the mountain of memorials, many people in the court will definitely not let it go, but seeing her calm and calm look, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "They all want to The sky is turned upside down, but you can still hold your breath."

"The concubine is calm because the concubine has a clear conscience. If the trouble really gets out of control, the emperor doesn't need to make it difficult to protect the concubine. The concubine believes that even the servants who serve the queen must have a pure heart. At most, the concubine will confront them at that time." As she spoke, her eyes never left the memorial in her hand.

Xiao Jun roughly understood what she meant, and after careful consideration, she put her hands behind her head and closed her eyes and said, "I'm so angry that I have a headache, and I need to rest for a while."

The emperor took a nap for half an hour, and when he woke up, he saw that she was still looking at the notebooks in her hand, and she read them with great interest, and even divided them into several piles by category.

The emperor asked puzzledly: "What are you doing? Could it be that this is such a good page to make you read so intently?"

Qingchen pointed to the memorial on the table and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine feels that the speech officials, Mr. Li, Mr. Meng and Mr. Zhao, should be relatively good at writing Fu. They scolded my concubine with gorgeous and sharp words. If the courtiers and concubines are really guilty, then what they say is penetrating;

Chen and Zhang from the Ministry of Rites should be better at writing poems. They scold courtiers and concubines, fight neatly, rhyme every sentence, and quote scriptures with subtle twists and turns. They can be called learned people;
The three adults Zhao Wangsun from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials are more tactful people. Although they seem to be stating the crimes of the concubines, they have not said anything substantive after all. They are not as aggressive as the officials. straight.

The rest of the concubines haven't seen it yet, but the concubines have also seen it. There are indeed many talented people in the emperor's court.In addition, the concubine did not expect that someone could incite so many courtiers to suppress the concubine for a matter that the harem had not yet found out the truth. "

Xiao Jun was a little dumbfounded at her words at first, but at this time, she still had the heart to study who is good at what, and when she heard the last sentence, her face suddenly sank and she asked: "Do you suspect that someone is instigating the court party and deliberately fighting with you?" Can't you make it through?"

Qingchen put down the things in his hands and said seriously: "Although the courtiers and concubines have not finished reading these memorials, they have already read most of them. The words in them are all about how the courtiers are coquettish and seduced the Lord, relying on the emperor's favor to be arrogant and extravagant. Jealousy, being narrow-minded and intolerant, but regarding how the concubines forced the queen to death, they either kept silent or ambiguous. In the final analysis, how could the courtiers of the previous court know about the harem? It's only been a month since I returned to the palace, and I haven't made any serious mistakes before, so why are you exaggerating? If it wasn't for someone's order, and there are interests involved between them, why do you have to put your ministers and concubines to death?"

As she spoke, the emperor's eyes became colder and sharper, and he said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect you to see it too. You have always acted cautiously and thoughtfully, so it is naturally difficult to give others a handle, so this time the queen committed suicide, it was a suppression. Your best time. Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you. "
