Mad concubine returns, prince get away

Chapter 225 Confrontation
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Shu was startled when she heard the words, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes, she said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this concubine has no such intentions!"

"Whether you mean it or not, you know it in your heart, you don't need me to say it!" Emperor Ming stroked the wrench finger on his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and he slammed the desk lightly, and said in a slightly cold voice.

"The emperor doesn't believe in concubines anymore?" Concubine Shu raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said sadly.

Emperor Ming frowned and looked at Concubine Shu who was crying endlessly in front of him. Feeling annoyed in his heart, he said in a deep voice, "Stop talking about it. I have seen the sacrificial ceremony with my own eyes, and I will handle it properly."

With tears in Concubine Shu's eyes, she looked at Emperor Ming pitifully, and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, Yue'er has always been cautious in doing things, and offering sacrifices is a major national event, how could Yue'er be negligent, it must be someone deliberately framed Yue'er Er, Your Majesty, you must see clearly and give Yueer justice."

"Okay! I know who is right and who is wrong. If Lao Qi is innocent, I will never wrong him!" Emperor Ming took a deep look, with a trace of impatience in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Seeing the coldness in Emperor Ming's eyes, Concubine Shu's body trembled, a chill suddenly appeared on her back, she could not help clenching the veil in her hand tightly with trembling fingers, bit her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for acting impartially." .”

"Go down, stay in Changle Palace these few days, don't come out if you have nothing to do." Seeing that Concubine Shu no longer spoke about that matter, Emperor Ming's expression eased a little, and he waved his hand casually and said .

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu's face turned even paler, knowing that Emperor Ming was going to restrain her feet, Concubine Shu's fingers holding the handkerchief became more forceful, she bit her lips and said, "I obey. "

Seeing that Concubine Shu was about to leave, Eunuch Zhou walked in again, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Hui Zhaorong is here, and now you are waiting outside."

"Let her in quickly." Emperor Ming was stunned when he heard the words, thinking that Yin Yueran had come to look for her again in the daytime, his heart was filled with joy, and he immediately stood up from the chair.

Seeing Emperor Ming's actions, Concubine Shu immediately froze, as if her body was stuck there, unable to move no matter what.

At this moment, Yin Yueran also walked in with a smile. She didn't notice Concubine Shu who was stiff on one side. She saluted Emperor Ming with a smile and then leaned into Emperor Ming's arms, saying softly: "Your Majesty, I listen to you." Eunuch Zhou said, you didn't have lunch, you are so tired, if you are exhausted, what will you do?"

"I made Ran'er worry, it's my fault." Emperor Ming put a smile on his face, put his arms around Yin Yueran's shoulders, and said in a gentle tone.

Yin Yueran withdrew from Emperor Ming's arms with a coquettish smile, took the food box from Mo Qin who was following him, and was about to walk towards the inner room while holding Emperor Ming's hand. , if not..."

Yin Yueran was talking, but she suddenly saw Concubine Shu with a pale face, she was taken aback immediately, quickly put the things in her hand aside, and said respectfully: "I have met Concubine Shu."

Seeing Yin Yueran's face suddenly turned aside, Emperor Ming couldn't help but follow her gaze and look to the side. After seeing Concubine Shu, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you still here? ?”

Concubine Shu was shocked, and immediately said: "The emperor forgives the sin, I will go back immediately."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Shu supported Nanny Luo's hand, and walked out of the imperial study as if fleeing, with infinite hatred in her eyes besides unwillingness.

After waiting for Concubine Shu to leave, the imperial study suddenly fell into a sudden silence. Yin Yueran's face was a little pale, and after setting out the prepared meal, she sat quietly on one side, biting her lip and not opening her mouth.

Seeing this, Emperor Ming frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Yin Yueran shook her head lightly, with a hint of fear in her eyes, she said, "Concubine Shu has always disliked concubines, and just now she has seen concubines with such an unruly appearance, there is always something wrong with concubines. disturbed."

Emperor Ming couldn't help reaching out to pat Yin Yueran's hand lightly when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry, with me here, Concubine Shu dare not do anything to you."

"The concubine understands that the emperor is the concubine's greatest support in this palace." Yin Yueran nodded lightly, put her gaze on Emperor Ming gently, and said something tenderly.

Emperor Ming heard that the dignified expression just now was a little calmer. After eating the meal, it was already half an hour later. Yin Yueran looked at the sky outside, thinking that it was almost time, so she smiled and said : "Your Majesty, my concubine is here today, but I actually have one more thing to ask my Majesty."

Emperor Ming raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and said, "What's the matter, I love my concubine, but it's okay to say it."

Yin Yueran stood up from the chair, and said respectfully: "The emperor promised before that if the concubine's second sister can find evidence to prove the innocence of the Ninth Prince, he will carefully examine the former Ninth Prince's matter. Now the concubine's second sister has found it." I hope the emperor can keep his promise and summon the concubine's second sister into the palace."

Emperor Ming was startled when he heard the words, looked at the stern expression on Yin Yueran's face, couldn't help but turn ugly, and said in a deep voice, "Is this the reason why you came to see me in the Imperial Study Room today?"

Yin Yueran was taken aback, looked up at Emperor Ming's displeased expression, couldn't help but shook her head, and said: "I didn't come here today for this matter, but I have another happy event I want to tell the emperor."

"Oh? What's the happy event for Concubine Ai?" Emperor Ming caressed the finger on his hand, his eyes were full of deep meaning. This Emperor Ming really loved Yin Yueran. Now seeing that Yin Yueran came here because of something, his heart immediately turned cold A little bit, so when Yin Yueran said that there was a happy event, her tone didn't improve, instead she lowered her voice and said in a deep voice.

Yin Yueran didn't seem to notice this, the smile on her face deepened, she stepped forward and took Emperor Ming's hand on her abdomen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, we have a child."

Emperor Ming was shocked, and couldn't recover for a long time after hearing Yin Yueran's words. He stroked Yin Yueran's abdomen with his big hand, and his eyes were full of complex expressions.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Emperor Ming's expression was not right, Yin Yueran immediately frowned suspiciously and shouted in confusion.

Only then did Emperor Ming come back to his senses, with an unstoppable joy on his face, he suddenly stood up, and carefully hugged Yin Yueran into his arms, with joy that could not be concealed in his tone, he said, "Ran'er , I am very happy."

Yin Yueran leaned meekly in Emperor Ming's arms, stretched out her hands to caress her belly, and there was a hint of satisfaction on her face.

Because of the joy of Yin Yueran's pregnancy, the depression in Emperor Ming's heart dissipated a lot. Seeing that it was getting late, he personally sent Yin Yueran back to the palace, and stayed with her for a while before returning to the main hall.

Early the next morning, after the morning court, Emperor Ming sent someone to summon Yin Qingge to the palace.

"Qingge has met the emperor." Yin Qingge saluted Emperor Ming respectfully as soon as he entered the palace, and said in a calm tone.

"Get up." Emperor Ming raised his hand to signal Yin Qingge to stand up, and after looking Yin Qingge up and down, he said calmly: "Yin Qingge, I heard that you helped Yin Canling repel the northern border in the frontier, and even shot him with an arrow. Appointing the Prince of Beijiang is really a great achievement, what reward do you want?"

"Back to the emperor, Qing Ge left Beijing for no reason, and never came back to report. It is Qing Ge's great fortune that the emperor will not punish him. Qing Ge dare not take credit." Yin Qingge looked at Emperor Ming calmly, his face was full of respect, Said in a calm tone.

"If that's the case, then the merits and demerits will balance each other." Emperor Ming looked deeply at Yin Qingge, and after hearing what she said, he nodded lightly, and then put the topic on Fu Jinchen, and said: "I listen You said you found evidence to prove Chen'er, but where are these evidences now?"

"Your Majesty, Qing Ge went to the frontier and found out that a general who followed the Ninth Prince was threatened by the Prince of Northern Xinjiang and the Seventh Prince. Then he secretly attacked the Ninth Prince, causing the West to be defeated. Now the witness is in the middle of the capital. They live in a courtyard, as long as the emperor summons them, they can enter the palace immediately." Yin Qingge looked at Emperor Ming impartially, and directly said Fu Jinyue's name.

"What did you say? This matter has something to do with Lao Qi?" Emperor Ming's face darkened when he heard this, and the finger that was caressing the finger suddenly paused, looked deeply at Yin Qingge, and asked in a deep voice.

Yin Qingge nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Not only did the Seventh Prince collude with the Prince of Beijiang in an attempt to murder the Ninth Prince, but he also secretly withheld food and salaries, and handed over all the deducted food and salaries to the Prince of Beijiang."

"What!" Emperor Ming was startled, his fingers subconsciously clenched tightly, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Yin Qingge glanced at Emperor Ming calmly, then knelt down straight towards Emperor Ming, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are all personal and material evidence, and the Seventh Prince must never deny it. Colluding with the enemy country and murdering the prince is a serious crime. .”

"Besides, when Qing Ge returned to the capital, he heard that there was a terrible thing happened in the sacrificial ceremony yesterday. Qing Ge dared to ask the emperor why the sacrificial ceremony in the past was good without any mistakes. Something terrible happened?" Yin Qingge straightened his back, looked at Emperor Ming with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Is it a momentary negligence that caused people to suffer, or did the heavens have eyes to punish you? Qingge doesn't understand, I hope the emperor will carefully consider it." two."

Emperor Ming looked at Yin Qingge with serious eyes, seeing the determination in her eyes, and thinking about what Tan Su said before, he immediately believed what Yin Qingge said in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Yin Qingge, Shan It is difficult for me to make a decision based on your one-sided words, since you have all the witnesses and evidences, tomorrow morning, I will announce that you and all the witnesses will enter the palace, plus the seventh child, to face-to-face."

"So, Qing Ge, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yin Qingge kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Ming, his eyes full of calmness, and he replied in a deep voice.
