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

Chapter 533 Life and Death Crisis (5)
Seeing that the emperor seemed to hesitate, Concubine Li quickly reprimanded: "What do you mean, could it be that this bruise was made by Bengong himself? At that time, you held Bengong's hand vigorously under the eyes of everyone, and everyone including The eunuchs and maids of your Xihe Palace have also seen it, do you want them to testify?"

"There is no need to testify. How could Concubine Li lie in front of you?" The queen said solemnly: "No matter what the reason is, the following offenses should not be committed, even if you hurt Concubine Li like this. He should be punished heavily, not to mention that Jinxiu is only a court lady."

The queen sighed softly, looked at Xiao Jun and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you beat this girl who has no master for [-] boards and send her to the Miscellaneous Bureau?"

Xiao Jun hesitantly opened his mouth without saying a word, but his gaze involuntarily glanced at Qing Chen who was kneeling on the ground.Seeing that her face was getting paler and paler, she didn't need to think about what she was thinking of at this moment, she must have remembered Jin Yun's tragic death back then.

That's right, at the moment when the queen ordered Jinxiu to hit Jinxiu's [-] boards, Qingchen's mind was suddenly filled with Jinyun's bloody body. The stool was interrupted alive, and then the heavy snow covered her body...

Twenty boards doesn't sound like much at first glance, but it depends on how the executioner fights. If he wants to kill him, Jinxiu will be disabled for life even if he doesn't die. They are really too vicious.

But Xiao Jun couldn't hesitate for too long, what the queen said was not wrong, the palace has its own rules, Jin Xin was called into the ancestor's palace to serve, no one dared to refute the face of the ancestor, naturally no one Dare to make it difficult for her, but who can Jinxiu use to excuse her?
The emperor finally nodded, "The queen handled it very well."

"No, don't..." Qing Chen yelled this sternly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Concubine Li's sly smile. They succeeded, but she absolutely couldn't just hand over Jin Xiu like this.The emperor felt that the queen's handing over was appropriate, but he didn't see the conspiracy behind the order. He only thought that it was a great favor to send twenty boards to the handyman bureau, but he didn't know that the twenty boards were very likely to be taken. Jinxiu's life.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Qingchen tugged at the hem of his dragon robe with trembling hands, and begged tearfully, "Does your Majesty still remember that you once gave a nine-dragon purple jade pendant to my concubine when you gave it to my concubine?" When I said at the time, no matter how big a mistake the concubine made, as long as the concubine is willing to turn around, the emperor will forgive the concubine, and now the concubine dares to ask, does the emperor still count on what he said at the beginning?"

Xiao Jun frowned, never thought that she would use this talisman, so she nodded and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, I speak well, and what I say naturally counts."

The queen said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, how could... How could you agree to such an unreasonable request from Concubine Rong Gui?"

Xiao Jun ignored the queen's shock and insisted: "No matter what, I promised her at that time, so I will fulfill my promise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qingchen hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, fearing that he would repent, "I am willing to bear all the responsibilities for today's incident. I do not ask the Emperor to spare me from the punishment of my concubine, but I only ask the Emperor not to embarrass my maidservants. Let it be regarded as the emperor fulfilling his promise, and the concubines are begging the emperor."

The queen's face was ashen, she pursed her thin lips tightly and said nothing, but Concubine Li wept unrelentingly: "Your majesty, my concubine refuses to accept, you are too partial to Concubine Rong, so the concubine's grievances are in vain? "

Qingchen said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't be so anxious. The concubine has said that the concubine will bear all the responsibilities, but according to the emperor's order, the concubine has no complaints, so the empress is satisfied? But before the emperor releases the concubine The concubine also wants to ask Concubine Li, you went to the concubine's palace for no reason to provoke, so what should I do?"

Concubine Li's eyes were red and she said bitterly: "Bengong said, I went to visit you with good intentions, but the kindness was not reciprocated!"

Qingchen smirked, "The kindness of your empress, we at Xihe Palace can be regarded as having learned by now, we really can't stand it."

Xiao Jun smiled helplessly in his heart, he knew that she would not plead guilty so easily, the most difficult thing now is that he, the emperor, is really hard to break up housework.

I was thinking about how to deal with this matter, when I saw a little girl coming in from outside and said: "I report to the emperor and the empress, and Nanny Gui, who is beside the empress dowager, begs to see her."

As soon as the emperor heard it, he knew that the old ancestor probably had something to say, so he hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly."

Nanny Gui came in and saluted properly, and then said in a calm and unemotional voice: "The Empress Dowager knows that some unpleasant things happened in the palace today, so she asked the old slave to come Convey a few words to her old man. Concubine Rong does not need to kneel in Bixiao Palace for a long time. If the emperor asks the reason of the matter clearly, she can return to the palace to rest. Concubine Li still studies hard with the two nuns given by the Queen Mother. According to the rules in the book, I think you have only entered the palace not long ago, so you will not be held accountable for this incident. You can do it yourself. If you dare to provoke and make trouble again, your ancestors will not forgive you! Today's incident, the emperor is not allowed to punish anyone, everything has a reason You Guo, since Concubine Li is injured now, she should stay behind closed doors and quietly raise her, and don't go out for a while for a month."

Qingchen sneered, everything has a cause and effect, Concubine Li's injury is the result of her own consequences, the old ancestor wanted her to shut herself up and think about it for a month.He didn't let the emperor punish him because he was wronged, and he didn't let the emperor punish Concubine Li because she had already been hurt and learned a lesson.

After all, the ancestor's heart is like a mirror, and he can see everything clearly!

Concubine Li tossed and tossed about this, but in the end she hurt herself in vain, and she didn't get the slightest advantage.Unwillingness and anger distorted her delicate face, but she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.Yes, she didn't dare, and the queen also didn't dare to have any objections.

The emperor said with a smile: "It's cold weather, there is Nanny Laogui running this trip, and I will ask people to send Mammy back."

Nanny Gui was talking to the emperor at this moment, her eyes were a little more warm and kind, the eyes were still full of caring and love like when she looked at the emperor when she was a child, "It's cold, the emperor must pay attention to your body and don't sleep. Liangcai, Nanny Gui has made the Emperor's favorite snack, and has sent it to the Imperial Study. If the affairs here are almost handled, the Emperor will go back earlier, and don't worry about these trivial matters in the harem. "

"Mammy still treats me like a child. I have a sense of proportion. Mammy doesn't have to worry. You have to take care of yourself." Xiao Jun ordered Fuquan to find two suitable people to follow, and then sent Nanny Gui to Go out, "Mommy, go slowly."

Now that the matter has been like this, the empress can't say anything more, endured the uneasiness in her heart and said in a cold voice: "Since the ancestor has a decree, then Concubine Rong Gui should stop kneeling, and let's talk about it first."

Qing Chen said respectfully: "Thank you, Empress."

Xiao Jun sent Nanny Gui away, walked back and ordered lightly: "Concubine Rong Gui, go back to the palace first, you have nothing to do here, let Imperial Physician Gu go with you to Xihe Palace."

Qingchen's legs were uncomfortable to kneel on, her calves were numb and swollen, and she couldn't control her, but she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she leaned on the chair beside her and forced herself down, "The concubine will leave."
