good wife

Chapter 738 Long time no see! (3)
"Is the empress thinking of exchanging the position of empress for the life of the Huguo Gongfu? Does the empress think that a later position can pay off this felony of treason?" The emperor asked coldly.

But the queen was not afraid, she bowed her head and said humbly: "My Majesty, this matter is so obvious, if the Lord Protector ordered someone to steal this painting, why didn't he hide it in a secret place, instead he just put this painting in the Inside the outer study room? This (Record of the Poor) is well-known in the world to be written by the late emperor, and it is passed down as a good story. Even if the Huguogong got this painting, so what? There are people coming and going in the outer study room, even a few princes and sons If you don't go to the Duke Hu's mansion, you will inevitably be seen by the servants in the mansion! Doesn't the emperor know how brave the Duke Hu is? Isn't he hitting the knife's edge with his own size? The emperor thought that the Duke Hu was so stupid?"

The queen raised her head slowly, "Your Majesty, after all, isn't it just for the concubine's post? If the concubine is not the throne, and the king of Ming is not the son of the legitimate son, I'm afraid there will be no such trouble! After all, It's the concubine who has implicated the Duke Huguo's mansion!"

King Jin on the side was naturally displeased when he heard this, and wanted to speak up, but Yang Shuo who was beside him grabbed him and shook his head at him.King Jin had no choice but to endure it!This queen is clearly implying that he, King Jin and Concubine De, jointly designed her in all of this!The matter of Wu Ying'er was actually said so confidently by her!However, she seemed to turn a blind eye to the facts in front of her eyes, and just let it go, making everyone think that the protector of the country was framed!
Jin Wang was not reconciled, but Yang Shuo was not in a hurry, there was a faint smile in his eyes!What about being framed?Your Duke Protector's Mansion has already grown big. For a hundred years, it has been the head of the wealthy family, and no one can shake its powerful position!This already displeased the emperor!Now, the emperor has finally caught the opportunity, how could he really just let it go?Empress, no matter how good your method is to retreat to advance, you can't change the fact that the Duke of the Protector's Mansion was ruthlessly suppressed by the emperor this time!
Sure enough, the emperor snorted coldly and said: "Queen, this happened in Duke Huguo's mansion. You didn't see it with your own eyes. What you said is uncountable! Besides, what's the matter with such a big incident? Huguo Do you think a little concubine can bear all these charges?"

The queen wanted to say more, but the emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Come here, help the queen go back to the palace to rest."

"Yes!"

The queen had no choice but to let her maid help her to leave. When she walked to the side of King Jin, she turned her head and gave King Jin a deep look. King Jin was startled, hurriedly took half a step back, and lowered her head, " Congratulations to the queen mother."

There was an unknown smile on the Queen's lips, her eyes were sharp and majestic, but only for a short moment, she lifted her lotus steps lightly, and she was about to leave the Palace of Qinzheng.

But a little servant came in and said: "Report to the emperor, the concubine De wants to see you."

The emperor frowned, "Absurd! This is the Palace of Qinzheng, why are everyone so bold!"

Embarrassment flashed across the face of the queen who hadn't yet attended the government palace. The emperor was clearly reprimanding her for coming here!

"Your Majesty, Concubine De said she has something important to report, and she is waiting outside the palace."

"Father, my concubine seldom comes to Qinzheng Hall, why not invite her in." King Jin suggested.

"Announce her to come in."

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor. Your majesty, my concubine came here today to report something. The concubine also thought that he was framed by someone about the Duke Protector. Please investigate clearly!"

"Oh?" The emperor seemed interested, and said with a smile, "Why do you say this? But what evidence is there?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I heard my natal sister-in-law mentioned that I accidentally saw the calligraphy of the protector of the country being sold in the market. I felt strange for a while. Quite amazing, how could those common people be allowed to buy and sell in such a lowly place? So, my sister-in-law sent someone to investigate, and after a lot of twists and turns, I found out that it was a lady of the Duke Protector's mansion who did it. However, no one can tell the appearance and characteristics of this lady. Although she can't be sure who it is, the concubine thinks that maybe this is the same as the painting by the former emperor on the Duke Huguo's mansion. There must be something related. That's why I came here to report to the emperor."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and even a little depressed!Even if this concubine De didn't come, the emperor certainly wouldn't want the lives of all the people in the Huguo Gonghe's family!After all, the Duke Protector's Mansion has a deep foundation, and the old Duke had made great achievements in supporting him back then!Now that the old Duke is still alive, it is impossible for the emperor to really do anything to the Duke's Mansion!But this Concubine De is now saying such words in front of so many important ministers!This clearly means that the protector of the country is not doing his job properly and is indulging in beauty!It is a great irony that a little concubine can freely enter and leave the study of the Duke Huguo!Now, being told such a thing by Concubine De again, the Duke Protector will lose all face!

The emperor was silent for a moment when he heard the words, "Concubine De's words are not unreasonable! Anyone must be able to enter the study of Duke Hu Guo! If this is the case, then it is very likely that someone has framed her! "

Concubine De blessed her body and said: "Extremely! The concubine also felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the two, so she came here to report. Now that the concubine has finished speaking, the concubine will not disturb the emperor to discuss state affairs. Concubine resigns."

The queen's eyes flickered slightly, what a concubine De, you first used this opportunity to ruin Duke Huguo's mansion!Now it is said that it is to discuss state affairs, and it is clearly to remind the emperor that this is not something that only a small concubine of the Duke Protector can do!You are really cruel!

Concubine De and the Empress all withdrew from the Hall of Qinzheng, and the Emperor glanced at everyone in the hall, "Come here, draw up an order!"

"Yes!"

"Declaration of my order, the Lord Protector and the entire mansion are all confined within the mansion. Without my order, no one is allowed to go out!"

"Yes!"

"The commander of the imperial forest army, Wang Han, was not good enough, so that the palace was stolen, endangering the palace, and he was demoted to a third-class guard, stationed at the imperial tomb in the western suburbs. Xiao Qiang, the former first-class guard, was promoted to be the commander of the imperial forest army!"

As soon as the emperor's decree came out, everyone understood, especially Qin Xiang, who is such a shrewd person, has figured it out a bit at this time!Although I don't know who set such a shrewd trap, their purpose is the same as the emperor's.

In Concubine De's bedroom, "Why are you so impulsive? Fortunately, your uncle stopped you at that time, otherwise, wouldn't you have caused a catastrophe?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong. Concubine Mu, don't be angry, your body is just right, don't get sick again because of Erchen's anger."

Yang Shuo also said with concern: "Yes, ma'am, you should calm down! Isn't everything going well?"

Concubine De's expression softened a little, she glanced at King Jin and said, "Zheng'er, it's not that Concubine Mother wanted to reprimand you on purpose, it's because you didn't think too much! If you said something more in Qinzheng Hall just now, Your Majesty Then they will place suspicion on you! This is obviously someone who has set up a trick, do you think the emperor can't see it? It is clear that someone is taking this opportunity to frame the Duke of the country! The reason why the emperor ordered to investigate and deal with Wang Han is, on the one hand Is it because Guangchusi was stolen, and on the other hand, isn’t it because he belongs to the Queen?"
