Mad concubine returns, prince get away

Chapter 224
"National Master, do you think God will blame the gods for such a mistake in this sacrificial ceremony?" Emperor Ming asked in a deep voice as he kept walking in the hall with a hint of worry on his face.

Tan Su lowered his eyes lightly when he heard this, and said in an indifferent tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it wasn't the Emperor's original intention to have such a thing happen. God definitely understands the Emperor's thoughts, and will not arbitrarily impose guilt."

Emperor Ming's face darkened slightly, and there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "This time Lao Qi really disappointed me, he can't do a little thing well."

Tan Su looked at Emperor Ming calmly, and after hearing Emperor Ming's words, he just nodded lightly and didn't say much.

The matter of Fu Jinyue had a great impact. After the news spread, it caused quite a stir in the harem. When the news reached Concubine Shu's Changle Palace, Concubine Shu was still practicing calligraphy in the study.

Nanny Luo walked in quickly from outside the hall, with a trace of panic in her eyes, she even forgot the basic etiquette, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Concubine Shu frowned slightly when she heard the words, raised her head and glanced at Nanny Luo lightly, then dipped the ink with the brush and continued to write, and said lightly: "Nurse Luo, you are also an old man in the palace. what?"

"Your Majesty!" Luo Mama didn't have the heart to listen to this, she immediately clenched her fingers and said anxiously: "Mother, something happened to the Seventh Prince! The Seventh Prince was imprisoned by the Emperor!"

The writing brush in Concubine Shu's hand suddenly fell onto the rice paper, rendering a puddle of black and ruining the handwriting she had just practiced.

"What happened to Yue'er? Tell me clearly!" Concubine Shu was stunned for a while, seeing Luo Mama's expression full of anxiety, she couldn't help but took a big step forward, and asked sharply.

Nanny Luo immediately knelt down, with worried eyes in her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, during the sacrificial ceremony today, something happened to the sacrificial offering and it bled. The Seventh Prince is locked up."

"Blood? How could there be blood, how could something happen to those things?" Concubine Shu's face was a little pale, she held the edge of the table with trembling fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er has always been cautious in his work, how could he make such a mistake? , Yue'er must have been wronged."

"What the empress said is true, but now the emperor can't hear all the words about the seventh prince, so he directly charged the seventh prince with ineffective supervision!" Nanny Luo lowered her head and said hastily.

"Ineffective supervision, this is really a good crime, and people can't get rid of it at all! The emperor wants to force Yue'er to death!" Concubine Shu's eyes were scarlet, and she tore the veil in her hand angrily, and said ruthlessly Said.

As soon as this remark came out, Mother Luo's expression immediately turned aside, and she quickly kowtowed to Concubine Shu, and said anxiously: "Madam, I dare not say this nonsense, if the emperor hears it, it will be so terrible !"

Concubine Shu snorted coldly, looked at Nanny Luo with a trace of cruelty in her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "The emperor has never had our mother and son in his heart, and now Yue'er has been thrown into prison by him. I am about to attack Bengong, what is there to be afraid of, the emperor will hear it if he hears it."

"Your Majesty!" Luo Momo trembled, hearing Concubine Shu's disrespectful words, her eyes were full of fear, and she urged urgently: "My Lady, the Seventh Prince has just had an accident. What can the Seventh Prince do if he loses his sense of proportion and is caught by someone's hands and feet, empress, please remember the word forbearance!"

Concubine Shu's face was so ugly that she could only close her eyes slightly after listening to Nanny Luo's words, and suppressed all the hatred in her heart. When she raised her eyes, her eyes were already calm, and she said in a deep voice: "Serving me I need to freshen up, I'm going to see the emperor!"

"Yes." Nanny Luo got up from the ground, and quickly supported Concubine Shu's hand and walked towards the back of the screen. In less than a quarter of an hour, Concubine Shu had changed into a blue palace dress, and there was a smile on her face. With a gentle smile, she was supported by Nanny Luo and walked towards the imperial study.

"I have seen Concubine Shu." Eunuch Zhou, who was guarding in front of the imperial study, saw Concubine Shu from a distance, and immediately stepped forward to salute Concubine Shu, saluting respectfully.

"Eunuch Zhou, is the emperor in there? I have something to ask to see the emperor, and I hope that Eunuch Zhou will let me know." Concubine Shu nodded with a smile, raised her hand to signal Eunuch Zhou to stand up, and asked warmly.

Hearing the words, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment, and said with a sneer: "Madam, this is really a coincidence, the emperor is talking with the master of the national teacher in the room now, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

"The national teacher is here?" Concubine Shu's face changed slightly when she heard the words. After being in the palace for many years, Concubine Shu naturally understood Tan Su's position in Emperor Ming's heart. Now that even Tan Su has come out, it can be seen that this matter is different.

Eunuch Zhou nodded with a smile, and said in a respectful tone: "Your majesty, the emperor and the national teacher may have to talk for a while. Your majesty might as well go back first. When the emperor is free, the servant will report to the emperor."

Concubine Shu shook her head gently, thinking about Fu Jinyue who was still in prison, how could she go back to Changle Palace and wait, "Since the emperor has something to do now, I will wait here, Eunuch Zhou doesn't care I."

Eunuch Zhou couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed when he heard the words. Although something happened to Fu Jinyue, things in the palace have never been that simple. If he really asked Concubine Shu to wait outside today, I'm afraid he would wait for Fu Jinyue. After turning over, his life would be difficult. Eunuch Zhou looked back at the closed gate of the palace, thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, otherwise, I will go in first and let you know."

"Then please trouble Eunuch Zhou." Concubine Shu smiled slightly, and nodded slightly towards Eunuch Zhou.

Eunuch Zhou nodded, then turned around and opened the door and walked in, saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu please see me."

Hearing this, Emperor Ming who was talking to Tan Su's expression suddenly darkened, and said with a cold snort: "Let her go back, tell her that this imperial study is not a place for her to come!"

When Eunuch Zhou, who was standing outside, heard this, he couldn't help but show a hint of sincerity on his face, he responded in a very light tone, and then walked out slowly.

"Eunuch Zhou, what's the matter, the emperor would like to see me?" Concubine Shu who was standing outside the palace immediately walked forward quickly when she saw Eunuch Zhou coming out, and asked anxiously.

Duke Zhou bowed respectfully to Concubine Shu, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please go back. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and really has no time."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and seeing the embarrassment on Duke Zhou's face, she could probably guess that the emperor not only said these words, but also some more serious words.

"Your Majesty? I'll send someone to take you back." Seeing Concubine Shu's face turned ugly, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help sighing in his heart, and asked respectfully.

Hearing what Eunuch Zhou said, Concubine Shu regained her composure, shook her head and said, "No need, I must see the emperor today, since the emperor blamed me and didn't want to see me, I will kneel down until the emperor is willing to see you." As far as this palace."

"Your Majesty, why bother?" Eunuch Zhou sighed softly, seeing Concubine Shu kneeling down straight like that, he couldn't help but walk slowly to the side, and ordered his men to find a cushion, and delivered it to him by himself. Stepping up to her, she said, "Your Majesty, please use a cushion, and be careful of leg pain."

"No need, Eunuch Zhou just pretend that this palace doesn't exist." Concubine Shu shook her head, knelt there stubbornly, unwilling to accept Eunuch Zhou's help.

Eunuch Zhou sighed softly, looked up at the fierce sun, although he was worried that something would happen to Concubine Shu, but because he was just a slave, he couldn't speak again, so he could only step back and continue to guard.

Concubine Shu was spoiled and pampered since she was a child, and she has never suffered such a hardship. After kneeling outside for less than two quarters of an hour, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face became paler and paler.

Half an hour later, Tan Su finally came out of the hall, saw Concubine Shu kneeling in front of the hall, nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu looked at Tan Su with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice, "Have you finished talking between the national teacher and the emperor?"

Tan Su nodded lightly, saw that Eunuch Zhou went in to report again, and then said lightly: "Ms. Concubine Shu, be careful, the emperor will call you in soon."

Concubine Shu nodded, and continued to look in front of the palace. At this moment, she saw the door open suddenly, and Eunuch Zhou walked out slowly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, get up, Your Majesty invites you in."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shu nodded, stood up while supporting Nanny Luo's book, and walked towards the imperial study with trembling legs.

Tan Su glanced at the slowly closing gate, and then walked slowly towards her palace, but stopped suddenly halfway, tilted the oiled paper fan slightly, and looked up deeply. Glancing at the somewhat gloomy sky, a very slight arc suddenly appeared on his lips, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The sky is cloudy, it's going to rain."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of extremely light footsteps continued to resound on the silent path, and the white robe fluttered with the wind, but in an instant, there was only a ray of breeze remaining.

At this time, as soon as Concubine Shu entered the imperial study room, she directly pushed away Nanny Luo's hand, knelt down straight again, kowtowed to Emperor Ming, and said, "I kowtow to the emperor, and I'm still here!" I hope the emperor will punish you!"

"Oh? Aifei, what did you say? Why are you guilty?" Emperor Ming sat on the dragon chair behind the desk, looked deeply at Concubine Shu, and asked in a deep voice.

Concubine Shu raised her head to look at Emperor Ming, with tears in her eyes, she said, "Your majesty, I know that Yue'er was negligent for a while and caused a catastrophe, which made the emperor angry. Yue'er was brought up by my concubine alone. Yue'er made a mistake, and it's because I, as a concubine, can't teach well, and I hope the emperor will punish me."

"What do you mean by Aifei, but you are also talking about me?" Emperor Ming's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and he did not take into account Concubine Shu's pretended virtuousness. , something happened to Lao Qi, and you say that you are not good at teaching, so is it because I am not strict in teaching?"
