The concubine is so charming

Chapter 88

Concubine Zhen is now the emperor's darling. Although she is the empress dowager, she did not dare to directly injure the emperor's heart. Seeing concubine Zhen kneeling down to plead guilty, her expression softened: "The Ai family heard that you also have long hair on your body. You got the rash, are you feeling better now?"

"After drinking the decoction prescribed by the imperial physician, she is almost healed now. The Empress Dowager Lao is concerned, and the concubine is really frightened."

"A few days ago, Princess Mingzhu had the same symptoms as you. She suddenly developed a rash. The imperial doctor said that she accidentally ate something wrong. It seems that the diet in the palace needs to be more careful. Your Majesty, you have seen it too. , everything in daily life is not a small matter, not to mention that it is related to the safety of the dragon body and the harem, no matter how careful it is, it cannot be overstated. Nowadays, many palaces in the harem have privately set up small kitchens, and there is no telling when things will go wrong. Why don't you take the opportunity to organize it."

"What the Empress Dowager said is that it is indeed necessary to investigate carefully." If the origin of these medicinal powders and poisonous powders were not investigated clearly, the emperor would feel like a stick in his throat.

"The Ai family will personally watch over this matter. In fact, this small kitchen is nothing more than convenience. In terms of refinement and taste, it is not as good as the imperial dining room. It would be good if the Ai family can save money. It can save some expenses in the palace."

"Things in the harem, the Empress Dowager can do as she sees."

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the Empress Dowager's smile grew stronger: "Okay, don't worry, Your Majesty, the Ai family will definitely give you a clean and quiet harem."

But Su Yao spoke again: "Reporting to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, the servant girl was poisoned for no reason, and was dragged down the steps roughly by the servants and brought here. If it wasn't for the loyalty of the servant girl, I am afraid that when she was speechless just now , and was directly taken down for disposal, such a delicate and ingenious design of each link, now that I think about it, I still feel chills in my heart, my daughter, please ask the emperor and the queen mother to uphold justice!"

The servant, who was arrogant just now, was already in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the servants only followed your orders and did not do anything special..."

Su Yao sneered, raised her hand to take off the gauze wrapped around her hand, and then pulled up her sleeve, only to see a clear finger print and three nail scratches left on her arm, the finger prints were slightly blue Black hair and purple, enough to show the strength.

Then she called Yufu over again, asked her to raise her head, and showed the emperor her swollen cheek.

"Your majesty, these wounds are in the clear, you can tell at a glance. Those servants once kicked Yufu's back severely, and the minister's body also has scars, which can prove what he said is true. In addition, you You can send people to Lan Cuixuan to check, the current Lan Cuixuan is still a mess!"

Su Yao's voice was still hoarse, but his tone was full of grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, these people acted recklessly at your will. If Yufu hadn't arrived in time, if the imperial physician hadn't discovered the clues in the small medicine bag in time, I would have The woman will definitely be dragged down and dealt with directly. If such a cruel and merciless person stays in the harem, there will be no big troubles, and if it endangers the dragon body of the Holy Majesty, it will be too late to investigate at that time!"

"Presumptuous, Sheng Jia is in front of you, how can you make such a loud noise?"

"I know I was wrong, and the grief and indignation in my heart is unbearable." As Su Yao said, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Yufu held her arm carefully and shed tears along with her.

The Empress Dowager's expression was gloomy: "Where are the palace people who went to Lan Cuixuan to search?"

The palace servants quickly knelt and stepped forward: "The servant is here."

Before the Empress Dowager could speak, Concubine Zhen knelt down: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, these palace people are all from the concubine's palace. It is the concubine who has not taught well and is not strict with his orders. Please punish the Emperor and Empress Dowager."

The queen mother turned her eyes and looked over: "Concubine Zhen, you have always been cautious in the harem, why are the servants in your palace so arrogant and domineering?"

Her words directly implied to the emperor that Concubine Zhen's cautious appearance in the past was all a faux pas.

Concubine Zhen quickly said: "I don't even know that these workers are acting recklessly in private. If I know my mistake, let's hand over these palace servants to Ms. Mu, so as to comfort her that she has suffered so much tonight. frightened."

The head servant's expression changed, and he hurriedly took two steps on his knees and kowtowed to Concubine Zhen to beg for mercy: "I beg forgiveness from the emperor, forgiveness from the queen mother, forgiveness from concubine Zhen, this slave is so bold, Miss Mu, I know I'm wrong, please forgive me!" A slave is a dog's life."

Su Yao did not compromise: "Your Majesty, Da'an Kingdom has always had clear laws and regulations, and these servants can be dealt with as they please. The courtiers are just seeking justice, not to vent their personal anger."

As soon as this sentence came out, the emperor, who was originally worried, eased up a little: "This is not bad, take these servants down, punish thirty big boards, and then drive them out of the palace."

"Yes."

After thirty boards, most of them will be lost, not to mention that they will be kicked out of the palace in the future. The maids are fine. They eunuchs with disabilities will have no way to survive after leaving the palace halfway.

"The emperor has mercy, the servants know they are wrong, please forgive the emperor..."

Seeing Concubine Zhen's ugly face, the Empress Dowager raised her lips secretly, and raised her hand to signal to the guards. The guards immediately gagged the mouths of the servants, and dragged them out the door.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will be investigated carefully by Aijia, and the harem will definitely be restored to peace."

"Okay, I'll leave that matter to the Queen Mother. It's getting late, so I'll go back to Anyi Palace first."

"It's time for Ai's family to return to the palace."

"Respectfully send off the emperor, respectfully send off the empress dowager."

After seeing off the two great Buddhas, Concubine Zhen was supported by the maid and stood up. Her originally cold and aloof face became even more indifferent at this moment: "Miss Mu, go back too. It's dark and the road is slippery, and it's raining heavily. The palace will send you off."

Su Yao stood up, tidied up her clothes a little and saluted Concubine Zhen respectfully: "Then I would like to thank Concubine Zhen."

Seeing Concubine Zhen's ugly face, Liu Guiren didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly found an excuse to retreat.

Concubine Zhen sat aside, took a sip of tea.

The maid on the side quickly said: "Your Majesty, the tea is cold, and this servant will exchange hot tea for you."

"No, you can go down, I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes."

Back at Lan Cuixuan, Su Yao leaned back on the chair, as if he lost all strength.

Yufu wanted to go down and serve tea for her, but Su Yao grabbed her wrist: "Don't be too busy, sit down and have a rest, you have been wronged today."

"It's just some skin trauma, it's nothing serious, Miss, don't worry about it, but your body...does it feel better now?"

"It's very uncomfortable when the medicines are in conflict. It will be fine after a while. Last time I had bruises on my knees, Princess Anping sent you high-quality medicated oil. You rub it on and rub the bruises away."

"Yes, my servant, thank you miss." Yufu didn't refuse anymore, "My servant will help you to lie on the bed and rest for a while."

Su Yao shook her head slightly: "I can't sleep right now, just wait."
