The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 235
Boqing stared at Chen Ping, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Master Chen, is that really the case?"

Chen Ping didn't expect Boqing to find so much information in just a few days, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Back to the emperor, it was my wife Zhong who told me that Mrs. Zhong Shuling received the phoenix on the day of the Laba Festival. The bribe of the former courtiers, let the ministers expose the matter in the early court, it must be a great achievement, and the emperor will definitely reward it."

When everyone heard Chen Ping's words, they couldn't help showing a look of sarcasm on their faces. Thanks to him making up such a big talk, is the person in the dragon chair a fool?

Boqing also smiled sarcastically, and said to the people on the high platform: "Back to the emperor, according to the investigation of the concubine, the house where Nanny Gui and his family live now is the property under the name of Yan Hua, the ninth lady of the prime minister's mansion, not Chen's house." Your lord's property. And the concubines also know that the prime minister's mansion has never transferred the three pieces of Fu Lu Shou famous porcelain to Mr. Chen, but I heard that Mrs. Yan gave the three famous porcelain to Miss Jiu."

The emperor's eyes sank: "Master Chen, what is your explanation?"

Chen Ping's complexion immediately turned pale. He didn't expect that Boqing could even find out such hidden malpractices in various governments in such a short period of time. His back was already soaked in sweat, and he hesitated before saying: "Chen Chen... the minister is guilty. Please punish me severely."

The third prince said with a lukewarm smile: "Hide your ears and steal your bell. I remember that the prime minister's third concubine, Mrs. Chen, is Chen Yushi's biological sister. The third concubine is Miss Jiu's biological mother. Isn't Chen Yushi Miss Jiu?" Uncle, the appearance of these three pieces of famous porcelain in the Chen residence can be explained."

Concealing one's ears and stealing one's bell, this word is used well, Bo Qing boasted in his heart, but the latter words were a bit superfluous.

I only heard the emperor say: "Since this matter is related to Miss Yan Jiu from the prime minister's mansion, Eunuch Tan, let someone announce Miss Yan to the palace and confront her face to face."

Eunuch Tan agreed, Ma Rang gave the little eunuch next to him a wink, and the little eunuch bowed knowingly and left the hall.

Hearing this, Bo Qing couldn't help but frowned, as if he had missed someone and didn't call, so he had no choice but to look carefully at Prime Minister Yan.

Now that the matter has developed, Xiao Jinfang has said such things as deceiving his ears and stealing his bell, but this person can still stand so calmly in the court hall, just in case, she has to be careful.

In the prime minister's mansion, Yan Hua sat in front of the embroidery stand, holding a needle in his hand, but he hadn't embroidered a single petal for a long time. He looked outside the door from time to time, dropped the needle and said, "Taxue, go to the front to check, father is coming down." If you come back, let me know immediately."

The girl standing behind said immediately: "Yes, Miss."

Taxue walked out of the room, but turned back after a while and said: "Miss Nine, someone is coming from the palace, let the young lady enter the palace immediately."

Yan Hua was startled, and a bad feeling immediately rose from the bottom of her heart, but even if her uncle didn't succeed, she shouldn't be involved, why did the emperor suddenly announce her into the palace.

He hurriedly changed into the royal attire, put on some light makeup, and then hurried out of the boudoir. As soon as he reached the second gate, he saw Gao Mama in Mrs. Yan's room.

Seeing Yan Hua walk out, Mama Gao stepped forward to salute and said, "Miss Jiu, the old lady asked the servants to tell Miss Jiu that no matter what happens, the prime minister's residence is the most important thing, don't lose the big because of small things."

Yan Hua thought for a while and said, "Mum, please tell grandma, granddaughter understands."

What the old lady meant was that when necessary, even if the Chen family was sacrificed, the reputation of Xiangji should be preserved.

On the way, Yan Hua didn't say a word. Grandmother asked Gao Mama to tell her this sentence. It must be because of some rumors that she had to think about the things she was about to face.

After the call of the eunuch, Bo Qing stood beside Mu Zhaoming, looking at the figure walking in from the outside, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a touch of playfulness in his eyes.

Yan Hua stepped into the gate of the palace, saw the people kneeling in the palace, and Mu Qing who was standing next to Mu Zhaoming, the similar smiles on the lips of the two were particularly dazzling, and there was jealousy and hatred in his heart. More unwillingly, why didn't she meet him first, but let the fickleness take the lead.

Seeing Chen Yushi who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, Yan Hua took a breath and knelt on the ground, "My daughter, Yan Hua, sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The emperor raised his squinted eyes, glanced at Yan Hua in the hall, who was dressed in a simple and elegant dress, and couldn't help but glance at the flirtatious.

In terms of appearance, it is difficult for the two to tell the difference, but there is always an invisible attraction in Boqing, which makes people involuntarily pay attention to her every move.

With a calm expression on his face, he said: "Miss Yan Jiu, now Zhongshu Ling's wife sued Chen Yushi and framed her. The two pieces of evidence that are important evidence are related to you. One is from the Qinyue Dynasty, There are three pieces of antique porcelain from Fu Lu Shou in Huaiyang Town, and the second is a yard, all of which are properties under your name. I don’t know why the contract between this porcelain and the yard came to Chen Yushi’s mansion.”

With the fact of failure in front of his eyes, Yan Hua suppressed the frustration in his heart, and said in a calm voice: "Back to the emperor, the three pieces of antique porcelain from Fu Lu Shou, and the yard in the western suburbs are all from my aunt. I borrowed it from Yan Hua for a month." Auntie, don't blame Yan Hua for being ruthless, Yan Hua has no other choice.

There was a coldness in Boqing's eyes, the Yan family wanted to discard the Chen family's chess piece, but the emperor said in an unchanging voice: "Why does Mrs. Chen want to borrow these two things?"

Yan Hua lowered her head so that no one could see her eyes clearly, and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, my aunt privately told my courtiers that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there must be a banquet at the house. One or two items are needed I asked my courtiers to lend her one or two pieces of porcelain for temporary use, and I would return them to my courtiers after the new year, and my courtiers lent her three pieces of famous porcelain from Fu, Lu and Shou, which were rewarded by my grandmother. As for the contract of the yard, It turned out that my aunt was short of money at the time, so she borrowed it as a mortgage. As long as the emperor sends someone to ask aunt about this, he will know."

The emperor didn't deliver the decree immediately, but looked at Chen Ping and said, "Chen Yushi, don't you know anything about what Mrs. Chen has done."

Hearing what Yan Hua said, Chen Ping knew that they sacrificed his wife. Originally, he was thinking about the two children and saving his wife's life. He thought that his life was only once, but his wife could marry again. Yi insisted: "Back to the emperor, I didn't know that my wife had borrowed these things from Yan Hua in private."

The emperor said loudly: "Okay, very good. Come, tell Mrs. Chen to go to the palace."

Boqing drooped her long eyelashes, a sneer appeared in her heart, but she didn't show any expression on her face.

Yan Hua watched the figure of the eunuch passing the decree disappear on the palace door, his chest bulged... jumping so hard, he couldn't help raising his hand to hold it down, for fear that it would burst out of his chest.
