Chapter 202
Princess Erruo fell into the water and was taken care of in a post house, while the younger prince was assassinated and recuperated on the couch.

Regarding the marriage between Man Luo and Xiqin, it will be put on hold for now.

After several days of recuperation, Gongsun Erruo had already recovered a lot. She was tired of the boring days of staying in the posthouse every day, so she begged Gongsun Ji, "Brother Wang, let's go to the Chu Palace to visit Prince Yue, okay?"

Gongsun Ji frowned, "Eight sister, don't mess around, Xiqin is different from our Manluo, in their place, unmarried women can't easily go to a man's house, you have never even had a marriage with the young prince Yue, now With this identity, how can you easily go to Chu Palace to meet him?"

Gongsun Erruo had already heard the news that Fan Yue was assassinated and seriously injured. She thought that on the night of the first meeting, Fan Yue not only suffered internal injuries, but was also poisoned by an extremely rare poison. .

"Brother Wang, that young prince has been poisoned." Gongsun Erruo looked at Gongsun Ji with hope in his eyes, "If I don't save him, what if something happens to him?"

Gongsun Ji frowned deeply.

"Brother Wang." Gongsun Erruo called out again, "Don't hesitate, even if it's not because of the marriage relationship, he is now a sick person, since I can cure that poison, how can I stand by and watch?"

Gongsun Ji still hesitated, but in the end he couldn't resist Gongsun Erruo's repeated pleas and agreed.

The two came to the gate of Chu Palace at noon.

The concierge quickly went to Chuuxue Xiaozhu to report.

After Jing Se heard this, she looked at Fan Chen, "Everyone is here, it seems unreasonable to keep them out."

"Yes." Fan Chen motioned to the porter, "Let them in."

Not long after, the two brothers and sisters came to Chuuxue Xiaozhu with the maid who led the way, greeted Jing Se and Fan Chen symbolically, and then sat down beside them.

Jing Se smiled, "I wonder if Princess Erruo's typhoid fever is better?"

Gongsun Erruo glanced around, but she didn't see Fan Yue, she regained her sanity, "It has recovered, thank you Princess Ning for your concern."

"Then you two came to the door in person, but what's the matter?" Jing Se asked again.

Gongsun Erruo said: "To tell you the truth, my concubine, we brothers and sisters came here specially to visit Prince Yue. I heard that he was assassinated and seriously injured a few days ago. At that time, I was caught in the cold and I couldn't come to visit in time. I don't know if he is better now. ?”

Jing Se smiled faintly, "The wound has begun to scab."

Gongsun Erruo said nervously: "Young Lord Yue has toxins in his body, did the doctor who saw him see it?"

"Of course." It was Fan Chen who answered, "This king's wife is a genius doctor, but it's just a small poison, she hasn't paid attention to it yet."

Gongsun Erruo glanced at Jing Se curiously.

Jing Se pursed her lips, "I don't need to bother Princess Erruo to worry about our second master's affairs."

This sentence made Gongsun Erruo feel disgusted, she bit her lip, "I just want to visit him."

"Second Master has already rested." Jing Se said: "What's more, Princess Erruo is an unmarried woman, how can she casually visit the men's room, it's very against the rules."

Seeing that Gongsun Erruo still wanted to speak, Jing Se continued: "In our Western Qin Dynasty, the daughter's family who has not left the court shares the same room with the man. Even if nothing happens, the reputation will be ruined. The man must marry Otherwise, the woman can only be buried in the pond, does Princess Erruo want to use this method to force the marriage?"

Gongsun Erruo is only a 13-year-old child, even though he is used to being in Manluo, he couldn't help blushing when he heard Jing Se's words, "I...I didn't mean that."

Gongsun Ji was older and more mature, so naturally he could hear that Princess Ning was trying to prevent Eighth Sister from going to see the young prince Yue. It happened that Gongsun Ji didn't like Fan Yue very much, so he took Gongsun Erruo back directly in a fit of anger.

Looking at the backs of the two walking away, Jing Se laughed and shook her head, "Sure enough, I'm still a child."

Not long after Gongsun Ji and Gongsun Erruo left, Jing Wanbai came in, holding a bronzing invitation card in his hand, "Eldest sister, Princess Jiahua's birthday is three days later, someone has already been sent over there to deliver the invitation card! You look like this, can you go or not?"

Just as Fan Chen wanted to refuse, Jing Se said: "Yes, of course, I have never been there as a guest since the second room was separated. Now that people have sent posts, how can I refuse?"

Fan Yue had a disapproving look on his face, "There are so many people at the banquet, what if they bump into each other?"

"It's okay, you go with me." Jing Se said: "I haven't seen Jing Lan for a long time, and I want to go over to see how he is doing. After a while, I really can't go out at will, so take advantage of this time It's that woman's birthday, let's go for a walk."

Fan Chen was helpless, "Then you promise me, just go for a while, don't waste too much time."

"Yeah." Jing Se nodded obediently.

Jing Wanbai's eyes flashed, "Eldest sister, since the old lady asked me to take care of you personally, then this time you go to the second room, I should accompany you."

Jing Se took a deep look at Jing Wanbai, saw that the other party was disguised very well, without showing any flaws, and smiled, Jing Se said: "Of course, after all, you are from the Jing family. Second uncle's family has something to do. You should go, too."

*
Three days later.

Everything was ready at Prince Chu's mansion, Fan Chen helped Jing Se get into the carriage, and arranged a carriage for Jing Wanbai to follow behind, and the group went to the second room Jing Yutang's mansion with birthday presents.

Before the banquet started, the ladies who came to the banquet gathered in the garden in twos and threes.

Jing Se glanced around, seeing Jing Nanqing coming in and out busy, she beckoned him over.

"Big sister." Jing Nanqing saluted everyone.

"What was fifth sister doing just now?" Jing Se asked.

Jing Nanqing lowered her eyes and said: "There is not enough manpower in the mansion, Princess Taichang asked me to fill the vacancy and help with the busy work."

Jing Se's tone was sneering, "You just happen to lack a maid like you in your house?"

Jing Nanqing's face froze slightly, and she didn't want to do these menial jobs, but the other party relied on her status as a princess and bossed her around as a concubine all day long, no matter how irritable she was, she would not dare to speak rudely to the princess or even resist the slightest bit , Therefore, her concubine's life is not as good as that of a useful maid.

"Where are Aunt Zhou and Aunt He? Why don't you see those two?" Jing Se asked again.

Jing Nanqing muttered: "Princess Taichang said that the two aunts are concubines, and they are not allowed to appear on the stage, and cannot participate in today's occasion. Let them stay in their respective yards and not come out."

"I see."

Jing Se waved her hand, "Go and do your work first, I'll call you later if I need something."

Jing Nanqing raised her eyes, glanced at Fan Chen's intimacy holding Jing Se's arm, and then glanced at the garden full of noble ladies and daughters, everyone was dressed in brocade clothes, so expensive, her eyes flashed quickly After a touch of envy and unwillingness, he turned around and went back after a while.

"This woman is very possessive." After Jing Nanqing left, Jing Se said, "Aunt Zhou and Aunt He will fall into her hands sooner or later."

Jing Wanbai had a decent smile on his face, "It's no wonder, who let her be a princess and the empress dowager's own daughter? Now, she has raised her status by virtue of her status as the emperor for two generations. Aunt Zhou is fine. Background, even if Aunt He has the backing of the Marquis of Runan, she is not as high as a nobleman like the princess, so the wind direction in this mansion has naturally changed."

Jing Se glanced at Jing Wanbai, "You're right, you're still so bullying as a princess, Xiqin's royal demeanor has really opened my eyes."

Jing Wan Bai was suddenly dumb, because she caught a glimpse of Princess Qinghe standing not far behind Jing Se, and heard Jing Se's words impartially.

"Eldest sister..." Jing Wanbai showed embarrassment, "That..."

"Speak straight up if you have something to say, why hesitate?" Jing Se didn't like Jing Wan Bai's attitude.

Jing Wanbai pursed her lips, and suddenly bent her knees, her eyes skipped over Jing Se, and looked straight behind her, "My daughter has seen Princess Qinghe."

Princess Qinghe heard Jing Se's words verbatim just now, and she walked over with an ugly face and said in a harsh tone, "Oh, who am I, isn't this the one who collaborated with the Brahma Prince to deceive the world and deceive the world with my west?" As a princess, Qin He married to Dongli, the eldest lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Jing Se, who kept the people of the Western Qin Dynasty in the dark and made fun of our Gu family? Why, do you have a problem with our Gu family?"

As soon as Jing Se heard it, she knew that Qinghe had just overheard her words. Her face was calm and fearless, and she was about to speak, but was picked up by Fan Chen, "My wife is just telling the truth. As for who she is talking about, She didn't name her name, so it's better for Princess Qinghe not to be seated according to her number."

Princess Qinghe raised her eyebrows upside down, "Since you didn't name her name, didn't you scold all the princesses of our Gu family?"

Jing Wan Bai took the opportunity to say: "Princess Da Chang, forgive me, my daughter's elder sister didn't do it on purpose."

She apologized with sincerity and fear, looking weak and pitiful, as if she was really pleading for her sister who said something wrong.

However, this kind of action is a serious crime for Singer to say wrong words and slander Princess Gu.

When Jing Se heard this, her eyes burned with anger. She originally planned to slap Jing Wan Bai first, but Fan Shen calmly clasped her fingers and squeezed her palm lightly, signaling her to be calm, she I had to hold back temporarily.

"It wasn't intentional, was it intentional?" Qinghe's expression became more arrogant when he heard it, "Dongli's Concubine Ning slandered all the princesses of our West Qin royal family. I don't know how your Emperor Dongli is going to make amends for such a serious crime?"

"What's going on here?"

Jiahua's sharp voice suddenly came from not far away.

I saw Princess Jiahua, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace attire, approaching surrounded by a group of maidservants, with a smile on her face, but upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to find that there were several hidden secrets hidden in that smile. Well done.

What happened here just now has been reported to her in detail.

Although Jia Hua had no evidence for the death of Danyang Princess Xiao Yun'er, she once thought that this incident was done by Jing Se herself, and she hated it deeply in her heart. However, Jing Se was not in Xiqin for the past few months, so she couldn't touch her by herself. , This time the birthday party specially invited people from Chu Palace, just to find an opportunity to rectify this little bitch, unexpectedly, before he even appeared on the stage, Jing Se would go up against Qing He first.

For Jiahua, this was more joyous than receiving any birthday present.

Pulling back her thoughts, she had already walked up to Jing Se and the others.

According to her status, Jing Se had no choice but to perform a virtual salute.

Jiahua looked at Qinghe, "What happened? Why is there so much noise here?"

The corner of Qinghe's mouth twitched, he glanced at Jingse coldly, and said, "Princess Ning of Dongli said that our Princess Xiqin is bullying and has no good manners. The emperor's aunt might as well comment. This can be said by a princess of a country. Did it come out?"

Jiahua squinted his eyes, and put on a kind, magnanimous, gentle and virtuous look on his face, "I said Qinghe, Princess Ning's prestige in Dongli is very high, how could such rebellious words come from her mouth?" Tell me, there must be some misunderstanding in this?"

"Misunderstanding?" Qinghe sneered, "I heard it with my own ears, why did I misunderstand it? Besides..." The eyes turned and fixed on Jing Wanbai, "This Miss Jing San heard it too, didn't she? ?”

Jia Hua looked at Jing Wan Bai.

Jing Wan Bai immediately put on a frightened look, plopped and knelt on the ground, faltering.

The more this is the case, the more suspicious it is.

Jia Hua snarled, "Why are you shivering, speak up!"

"I..." Jing Wan Bai turned to look at Jing Se, and asked, "Sister, what should I say?"

This kind of cover-up performance has already helped Princess Qinghe confirm the authenticity of what she said.

Jing Se's eyes shot out a cold murderous intent.

The words of the princess bullying others did come from her mouth, but she was talking about Jiahua. As for the "uneducated" remarks, it was clearly fabricated by Princess Qinghe herself and planted on her head.

If today's words are taken out of context like Qinghe's, Jingse can indeed be convicted of slandering and framing the royal princess.

But the fact is clearly not the case. Why should she take the blame for being thrown halfway?
With a cold smile, Jing Se said: "Third sister, what do you think I am doing? What did you hear? What do you say? Do you need me to teach you what to say? Are you a three-year-old child?"

Jia Hua's eyes were sharp, "Jing Wan Bai, you'd better tell the truth, if you dare to lie about one word, I will never forgive you!"

"I..." Jing Wan Bai was still murmuring, as if he didn't know where to start.

Princess Qinghe was straightforward, "Let me ask you, did Jingse ever say that the princess of the Western Qin imperial family bullied others?"

Jing Wan Bai looked at Jing Se, swallowed his saliva, then nodded slowly, "I said so."

Princess Qinghe smiled triumphantly, "Auntie, you have heard that Jingse does not pay attention to us Xiqin because of her status as Princess Donglining. This matter has a lot to do with it. I am afraid that the regent will have to come forward in person. Just deal with it."

"That's right." Jiahua raised his eyebrows, "Since you and my aunt and nephew have been scolded into this list, if you and I make a move again, it will be a waste of time, and our crime of bullying others will be confirmed. It's better for me Let people invite the regent to come, and I believe he will give us justice as to how to deal with this matter at that time."

After finishing speaking, Jia Hua waved his sleeves, "Come here!"

Immediately, a confidant maid came over respectfully.

Jia Hua took a token from his waist and handed it to her, "Immediately enter the palace and invite the regent to come to the mansion, and talk to him about important matters related to the friendship and diplomatic relations between the two countries."

The maid moved quickly, and soon drove the carriage towards the imperial city.

Jingse couldn't stand for long, she sat on a stone bench beside her.

Fanchen helped her to sit down, and took the opportunity to wink at Qianmo beside him. Qianmo's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what his master wanted to do. He hooked the corner of his mouth, and took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, and left The scene flashed to the inner courtyard.

Jing Wan Bai was still kneeling on the ground, without the amnesty of these noble people, she couldn't get up.

Jiahua and Qinghe also sat on the stone benches, with haughty expressions.

If Fanchen was not present today, their aunts and nephews could join hands to deal with Jingse severely. However, Fanchen was also there, and the two of them would have to weigh it up. They didn't dare to scold Jingse casually, so they simply pulled out the regent. Aunts and nephews like to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

*
The imperial study room.

The regent Gu He, who also worked part-time as the Taifu, was teaching the two-year-old Suzong Emperor Gu Zizhan to write. Eunuch Zhao suddenly came in to report, "Your Highness, someone from Princess Jiahua's residence has asked to see you on something important."

When Gu He heard this, he pondered for a moment, "Today is Princess Jiahua's birthday. Didn't this king send someone to send a congratulatory gift? If you go out and spread the word, tell me that this king is busy with government affairs and has no time to come in person."

Eunuch Zhao hesitated and said: "Your Highness, the maid said that this matter is related to King Ning and Princess Ning, so I have to report it."

"Oh?"

What Eunuch Zhao said made Gu He very interested, "Let her go to the side hall and wait."

"promise."

After Eunuch Zhao left, Gu He went to the side hall not long after.

The servant girl knelt on the ground and reported everything that happened in Erfang Mansion today, especially emphasizing that Concubine Ning Jingse personally scolded the Princess of the Western Qin Royal Family for being uneducated and bullying others.

After Gu He heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it finished?"

The servant girl shook her body, "It's over."

"It's just a small scheme between women who can't get on the table. Is it worth entering the palace to find me?" Gu He snorted coldly. Although he didn't have much contact with Jing Se, he had sent someone to monitor her every move. I know very well that this person did not capture Fan Chen's heart just because of his alluring appearance. Jing Se is a person who is beautiful on the outside and has a universe on the inside. It is definitely not simple.

How could such a clear and wise woman do something shameless in public?
No need to think about it, Gu He also knew that it must be that Jia Hua couldn't sit still and wanted to find something to do.

He himself is not interested in other people's back houses, what he is interested in is the couple.

Pulling back his thoughts, Gu He looked at the maid indifferently, "You step back first, the king will leave the palace in a while."

After leaving the side hall, Gu He returned to the imperial study room. Gu Zizhan was still clumsily holding a brush to practice calligraphy. Gu He walked over softly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to go out of the palace. Is the word good?"

Gu Zizhan listened, raised his face, blinked his black eyes, "Uncle, Zizhan also wants to follow you out of the palace."

Gu He hesitated, "It's dangerous outside."

"But Uncle Huang promised me last time." Gu Zizhan looked extremely aggrieved, "You didn't take me there after that, and you didn't buy me candied haws either."

Gu He suddenly remembered that the day Princess Erruo fell into the water, he had indeed said that he would take Gu Zizhan out of the palace to play, but later Princess Erruo had an accident and was delayed.

He smiled gently, "Okay, you go with me to see the Empress Dowager, if she agrees, I will take you out of the palace, okay?"

"Okay!" Yuxue's small face immediately showed a happy smile, Gu Zizhan took the initiative to hand over his chubby little hand to Gu He, and the two went to the Yongshou Palace of the Empress Dowager together.

When the Empress Dowager heard that Gu He was going to take the emperor out of the palace, she had a face of disapproval, "The emperor is young, if any accident happens, what will you explain?"

The Empress Dowager didn't want to see King Yong, so she also had some prejudice against Gu He, the heir of King Yong, in her bones. It was rare to pinch his raft today, and the Empress Dowager naturally refused to let him go.

Gu He always kept a smile on his face, neither arrogant nor impetuous, "I think so too."

When Gu Zizhan heard this, he was unhappy, pouted, ran over and climbed up on the empress dowager's phoenix chair, shaking the empress dowager's arm with his small hands, "Grandmother, Zizhan must listen to the emperor's uncle. It's going to get him into trouble."

The empress dowager couldn't help laughing, she reached out and tapped the tip of his nose, "You little brat, do you know that you are the emperor of a country and you can't leave the palace easily?"

How could Gu Zizhan listen to these things, his eyes were full of candied haws and his mouth was drooling, he grinned, his sweet and crisp voice melted the heart of the Empress Dowager.

"Great-grandmother, Zizhan really wants to eat candied haws."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, "How about the Great Grandmother asking the Imperial Dining Room to make it for you?"

"No, no, Zizhan wants to go outside." He shook his little head, holding on to the Empress Dowager's arm.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you." It's rare that this little great-grandson is willing to come to his Yongshou Palace to act like a baby. More people will be arranged for protection, but you must be obedient and not run around, you know?"

"Yeah." Gu Zizhan was very excited.

After an hour of incense sticks, the palace maids changed into plain clothes for His Majesty the Emperor, and Gu He also changed into clothes. The sixteen guards in plain clothes followed along the way to protect them, and the group left the palace.

When they came to the bustling market, Gu He asked the coachman to stop, and he took Gu Zizhan out of the carriage.

When he was two years old, Gu Zizhan, who was out of the palace for the first time, felt fresh everywhere he looked. He fixed his eyes on the rouge and gouache at the stall in front of him, twisted Gu He's sleeves nervously, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Huang, how about you?" What is it? It looks delicious."

The corner of Gu He's mouth twitched, he bent down, brought his index finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture, "Shh~"

Gu Zizhan blinked, his face blank.

Gu Hewen said: "Let's play a game, I will take you shopping in a while, but you can only call me 'little uncle', I can only call you 'Yangyang', whoever calls it wrong will become smaller Dog, okay?"

"it is good."

Yang Yang is Gu Zizhan's childhood name.

Gu He treated him very well, and always taught him principles and other things in the most sensible and child-acceptable way, not harsh, but never slack.

It was agreed that one big and one small would go to the stall hand in hand.

"Little uncle, this looks good, and it can turn, Yang Yang wants it." He sucked his fingers, eagerly looking at the colorful windmills in front of him.

The peddler was very discerning, so he immediately took one down and handed it to him. Gu Zizhan stared at it curiously for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't turn around, he immediately puffed his face and blew on it with his mouth, giggling happily. .

Gu He paid the money, and dragged him to buy a lot of snacks such as candied haws and sugar figurines before returning to the carriage.

Everyone continued on their way and arrived at Jing Yutang's mansion smoothly.

Originally traveling in modest clothes, Gu He didn't want to disturb the ladies and daughters who came to the banquet today, so he didn't ask anyone to sing a salute, and followed the porter directly to the octagonal pavilion where Jing Se and the others were located.

Princess Qinghe's eyes were sharp, seeing Gu He pulling Gu Zizhan forward, her eyes were full of surprise, she hurried forward, looked at Gu Zizhan with a smile, "Yangyang, are you here?"

Gu He glanced at her lightly, and emphasized, "This is the emperor, not a child of an ordinary family."

This is to remind Princess Qinghe that she is very rude.

Qinghe's face darkened, and he glared at Gu He angrily, "You!"

She originally wanted to ask Gu He why she should teach her a lesson, but then she thought about it, she would have to rely on him to solve Jing Se's matter later, so she had to temporarily swallow her breath.

Princess Jiahua was blessed with a blessing, "I have met the emperor."

Jing Se and Fan Chen's titles are not in Xiqin. In name, they are from Dongli, and they don't need to kneel down when they see the emperor of Xiqin.

When the husband and wife got up, they just blessed themselves casually.

When Jing Se raised her eyes, she saw Gu He looking towards them, a look of disdain flashed across her eyes.

I thought Gu He was a person who would consider the overall situation very well, but I didn't expect that he would actually come out of the palace to help that old woman Jiahua deal with such trivial matters as the back house.

"Today's matter, I have to trouble the Regent."

After Jiahua finished speaking, he immediately asked someone to come over and serve tea.

Gu He led the little emperor to sit in the pavilion, and then turned his eyes to look at Princess Jiahua, "What's going on?"

Before Jiahua could speak, Qinghe couldn't wait to add more details to the previous story, and described Jingse's crime of insulting the princess of the West Qin royal family for being ill-bred and bullying others as death penalty.

Jing Se listened quietly the whole time without saying a word, but she wanted to see what charges Gu He would accuse her later.

Fan Chen's eyes turned cold again and again, but he didn't make a sound, only listening to Princess Qinghe talking alone.

"Prince Regent, the stakes are so important at this time, you can't tolerate those people with ulterior motives who don't take the Western Qin royal family seriously."

Princess Qinghe stared at Gu He for a moment, expecting that Gu He would be furious, and then directly convict Jing Se.

Seeing Gu He's indifferent expression, Qing He frowned, pointed at Jing Wan Bai who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "This is Princess Ning's third younger sister. She admitted that she heard what Princess Ning said before."

Gu He lowered his eyes and looked at Jing Wan Bai, his eyes were warm and indifferent, but there was a kind of intimidating power in his eyes.

Jing Wan Bai trembled all over, "His Royal Highness..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu He asked, "What did you hear?"

Jing Wan Bai glanced at Jing Se, with just the right amount of apology in his eyes, "Sister, I'm sorry, I can only tell the truth."

Jing Se looked at her coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm, "It's okay, you can say whatever you want, in front of the emperor, lying is deceiving the emperor, and it is a serious crime to behead, I believe, you don't have any extra heads to chop off. "

Hearing these threatening words in disguise, Jing Wan Bai shuddered.

She bit her lip, originally intending to follow Princess Qinghe's words to slander Jingse to the end, but then she thought about how shrewd this couple is, if they have a way to escape, they will definitely suffer when they return to Prince Ning's mansion It was herself.

After thinking about it, Jing Wan Bai still decided to act according to her own ideas. She didn't follow Qinghe's words to slander, nor did she take out the words Jing Se said out of context, but took the previous few people from entering What the government said later was repeated.

Princess Jiahua got angry when she heard it, and stared at Jingse, "So, you are saying that I, as a royal princess, bully others?"

"Isn't it?" Fan Chen smiled.

"Prince Ning!" Jiahua was furious, "I respect you as the newly promoted prince of Dongli, and let you get three points, but don't push yourself too hard. I can sit upright and upright, so why use your power to bully others?" Say?"

"Can Princess Taichang guarantee that what she said is aboveboard?" Fan Chen's expression remained unchanged, looking extremely indifferent.

Jia Hua shrank her eyes, "What do you mean?"

Gu He took out his brocade handkerchief, gently wiped the sugar stains from the corners of the little emperor's mouth, and watched the scene in a leisurely manner.

"Why can't I guarantee it?" Princess Jiahua was furious, "No matter how you say it, King Ning has to call me Second Aunt in the name of Jingse. Why, is your attitude towards elders like this?"

Fan Chen smiled softly, "This king is just talking about the facts."

"You're just spitting blood!" Jia Hua stammered.

As soon as the sound fell, there was the sound of beating and cursing from the next yard separated by a wall.

"You little hoof, it's just a seed that crawled out of the belly of a concubine. You really think of yourself as the master? Go to the backyard to clean the pail! The princess ordered it, if you can't finish cleaning those things today Gong Tong, tonight you are waiting to suffer from flesh and blood!"

It was the voice of a woman.

Immediately afterwards came the intermittent whimpering of the girl, "Grandma, please forgive me, stop beating me, I'll go... I'll just go."

Jing Se recognized it immediately, the voice was Jing Nanqing.

Jing Nanqing was still going in and out of the outer courtyard to help arrange the banquet, why was she beaten after a while?

Jing Se frowned, and looked at Fan Chen suspiciously.

Intuitively, this matter must have something to do with Fan Chen.

Noticing her gaze, he smiled, with a reassuring warmth in his smile.

Seeing him like this, Jing Se knew that he must be 100% sure, and her anxious heart suddenly calmed down.

The voice from the next courtyard wall clearly reached the ears of everyone in the octagonal pavilion.

Princess Jiahua's complexion suddenly changed. The woman who whipped Jing Nanqing was the right nanny next to her. Although she would not give Jing Nanqing and other children in the house a good face, she would not blatantly let the concubine The girl went to wash the Gong bucket, what the hell is going on?

Jing Se said in a timely manner: "Princess Taichang, even if my fifth younger sister is a concubine, she can still be considered a daughter of a thousand gold. When she was still in the right minister's mansion, even the old lady was reluctant to say a harsh word. When you come here, you will become a servant who cleans the toilet. Since you have entered Jing's family, you are Jing's daughter-in-law, not a princess who recruits a son-in-law. Now that the trouble is like this, is the princess putting on airs a bit too much? ?”

Princess Jiahua took a glance at Gu He from the corner of her eye, and seeing the cold gaze in his eyes, she panicked for a moment, and managed to calm down, "Young girl Se, don't talk nonsense, those things just now may be a joke between mother-in-law and maids That's all for talking, after all, none of us have ever seen it with our own eyes, and with just two voices, you want to say that I treated the concubine in the mansion harshly? I'm afraid I can't bear the blame."

Jing Se raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.

In Jiahua's eyes, it's just that Jingse was shocked by her words.

My heart suddenly relaxed.

Unexpectedly, within a moment, Jing Nanqing's cry came from behind.

Jia Hua suddenly turned around, and saw Jing Nanqing's face covered with palm prints, her cheeks were swollen, and her arms were full of red marks from whipping. With teary eyes, she plopped down in front of Jia Hua, her voice choked with pity, "Princess Taichang, I beg you, I didn’t eat in the morning, and there are so many buckets in the backyard, how can I finish it all by myself, please forgive me this time!”

After Jing Nanqing finished speaking, she knocked her forehead heavily on the ground.

Anyone who saw such a scene would feel distressed. After all, the scars on Jing Nanqing's body were too serious, and the split part of the wound was bleeding, which was shocking.

"Jing Nanqing!" Jia Hua was completely panicked this time. After all, she had just married and hadn't conceived any children, so her foundation in this mansion was not stable. The empress dowager, the biological mother of face, knows it, so it's okay!
"Get up and tell me clearly, what's going on?" Jiahua's face was full of anger, she clearly just asked Jing Nanqing to come to the outer courtyard to help arrange the banquet, why was she beaten up like this when she didn't see her for a while?

Jing Nanqing's face was full of tears and palm prints, she looked extremely wronged, now she was yelled at by Jia Hua, and immediately cried again, "Princess Taichang, I dare not be lazy, I will definitely get up at three o'clock in the future, and put the backyard I've finished all the chores, I just beg the Taichang Princess not to let me be punished again, if the beating continues, my little life will be gone, I just turned ji this year, and I haven't even discussed marriage yet, if I die like this..."

Jing Nanqing didn't say the latter words, and replaced them with heart-wrenching crying.

Jing Se secretly smiled, gave Jing Nanqing a thumbs up in her heart, and immediately straightened her face, "Princess Jiahua, in front of the emperor and the regent, please explain, the current scene, What is it if you abuse your concubine daughter with your status as a princess?"

"I didn't!" Jiahua roared fiercely, "Jingse, stop slandering me!"

"The witnesses are all here, in full view, you say I slandered you?"

"I didn't do this!" Jiahua shook her head desperately and looked at Gu He, "Regent Mingjian, there is absolutely no way for me to let someone whip Nan Qing like this, even though she is just a concubine, I have always treated her like a daughter , How could I make someone beat her and let her do those rough jobs? There must be some misunderstanding. "

Gu He glanced at Jing Nanqing, "Since you didn't do it, then does Princess Jiahua mean that someone is framing you?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Jia Hua retorted, "Jing Nanqing colluded with others to frame me."

Jing Se laughed suddenly, "Princess Taichang said before that she treated my fifth younger sister as her own daughter, but now she says that she colluded with others to slander and frame you. If you really treat her like your own daughter, then your own Why did my daughter bite back and slander you on such a critical day?"

"I……"

Jia Hua was dumbfounded, and then glared at Jing Nanqing angrily, "Say it! Who did you instigate to slander me like this?"

Jing Nanqing's eyes were full of tears, she was even more aggrieved, and she kept crying.

"enough!"

Gu He suddenly made a cold sound.

All the sounds on the scene stopped abruptly.

Jia Hua turned around.

"My king is not interested in your little things about the back house." Gu He said expressionlessly, "But... for a princess who is the eldest princess of a country and the emperor's great-aunt, it is indeed a shame that such a thing happened at the birthday banquet. The royal family is decent, you are an elder, and I, a junior, have no choice but to invite Princess Taichang to accompany me into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. If there is no explanation for this matter, it will be difficult for this king to get out of this place today. Daomen, it will be even more difficult to convince the public in the court from now on."

"I'm right, why are you going to see my mother?" Jia Hua said aggressively, "I see, you all joined forces to harm me!"

"Princess Taichang!" Jing Se's voice turned cold, "You personally arranged for the regent and the emperor to invite them here. Who do you think is partnering with whom to harm you?"

Jiahua felt guilty.

Jing Se glanced at the wives of aristocratic families not far away who were poking their heads to watch the excitement, "Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Since you insist that you haven't treated the children in the house wrongly, then in my opinion, it's better to let people go Invite all the aunts and concubines in the mansion to confront you, and let the wives and young ladies who came to the banquet today see if you are lying, or are we outsiders fabricating and framing you out of thin air!"

Jiahua was suffocating and her face was ugly. Since the day she entered the door, she has been suppressing Zhou Shi and He Shi, those two whores who only seduce the second master. If they were to confront her now, they would definitely insist that her character is corrupt.

"Why, isn't the princess too dare?"

Jiahua's face was livid with anger, "Jingse, why are you being so aggressive? Today is my birthday, not the day when you interrogate the prisoner. Please pay attention to your identity!"

"That's right!" Jing Se blinked, "Princess Taichang, please pay attention to your identity, you can't even deal with such a small matter in the back house, you can't explain it clearly, how can you be worthy of your title, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Gu family?" ?”

Jia Hua couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't confuse the public!"

Jing Se ignored Princess Jiahua and looked at Gu He, "What does the Regent think of my proposal?"

Gu He squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "This king doesn't want this matter to become a big deal, if Princess Taichang can prove here that she has not done such lowly things, then everyone will be happy. It’s a good thing to do.”

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "Princess Taichang, then, please ask someone to pass on all the aunts, concubines and concubines in the mansion."

"Gu He!"

In desperation, Princess Jiahua didn't care too much anymore, and shouted directly, "This is the palace, even if you are the regent, so what, you can meddle in other people's housework casually?"

Gu He raised his head and smiled slightly, "Actually, this king doesn't want to interfere in such a boring matter, but Princess Taichang insists on letting someone enter the palace to invite you. This king is also forced to come because of your status as an elder. Since If you don't want me to participate so much, then today's matter can be regarded as a farce, and everyone can forget it after a while, what does the princess think? Or do you want me to intervene and let the concubine in your house Did you come to confront the concubine and the concubine?"

Gu He's non-salty words, every word and every sentence were logical, and Princess Jiahua's belly was full of energy and blood.

 The second watch is around twelve o'clock in the daytime, which is the same as the usual time of the first watch O(∩_∩)O
