Empress Fenghua

Chapter 63

Emperor Cheng sat in the main hall of Yongning Palace, Empress Han, Concubine Meng, Prince Ye Chunjia, Ning Xinian and others sat on one side, and He Xiaojin and Ning Liuchen, who were still soaked, were kneeling on the ground.

Chengdi's eyes were bloodshot, and he swept across the crowd sharply.Empress Han glanced at Concubine Meng, frowned, put down the teacup in her hand and said nothing.

Concubine Meng suddenly snorted coldly, "Why doesn't the Queen speak? Now that something happened to the Crown Princess in the harem, do you want His Royal Highness to personally interrogate her?"

Ye Chunjia frowned and looked at Concubine Meng, "Concubine Meng, be careful! Now that the matter has not been clarified, how can you use the word interrogation? If you wrong the Crown Princess, can you afford it?"

He Xiaojin heard Ye Chunjia's words, a warm current surged in her heart, He Xiaojin slowly raised her head to look at Ye Chunjia who was sitting under the lamp, her eyes full of pity.He Xiaojin couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Now that things have become like this, it is obvious that someone got the news and deliberately let people see this scene.I don't know if I can escape this catastrophe!
"The prince really has a pure and kind nature. The concubine, who was so dark and windy that night, didn't stay in the East Palace. Instead, she went to the pond where she couldn't see her fingers. What's more, Ning Liuchen was also there. What is it if it's not a tryst?" Concubine Meng was full of contempt With a smile, "With such a disregard for shame, and doing such nasty things in the inner palace, how can you gain a foothold if you don't kill her crown prince?"

"It doesn't matter if the night is dark and the wind is high, or you don't care about shame! All the results can be determined by the father and mother. As a concubine, Meng Fei still has to abide by the rules. The affairs of the crown prince are beyond your control!" Ye Chunjia's eyes were full of disgust. , There was a trace of coldness all over his body.

Everyone couldn't help being startled, they had never seen Ye Chunjia being so stern and introverted, and they didn't expect to scold Concubine Meng like this today for the sake of the Crown Princess.

Concubine Meng gritted her teeth, the phrase 'concubine' really made her very embarrassed!

Empress Han saw that He Xiaojin's body was normal, so she knew that her actions had failed.Ye Chunjia and Ning Xinian will definitely protect the two of them, and the emperor will definitely not disregard the royal family's face.That being the case, it's better to be a favor!
Empress Han said softly, "Your Majesty, the concubine personally selected the concubine, and she is also the concubine of the prince. Since entering the palace, she has been dignified and dignified, serving diligently, and the concubine feels that she will never do such a thing! What's more, the second young master of the prime minister's family has been stationed at the border for many years and has served the country. He is not a sloppy person, how could he do what Meng Fei said? There must be something hidden in it!"

Emperor Cheng lowered his eyelids to cover his emotions, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What do you two have to say?"

Ning Liuchen smiled unrestrainedly, calmly, "Your Majesty, this subject is alone, with no name and no role. In fact, even if he dies wronged today, it is nothing to fear. It's just that I don't want to implicate the crown prince and concubine in vain ruining Qingyu and losing her life. I have to fight here. The minister grew up in the frontier, although he has not been influenced by the etiquette of the children of the aristocratic families in Wan'an City for many years, but he thinks that he knows a thing or two about the way of Confucius and Mencius, etiquette, righteousness and shame."

Emperor Cheng couldn't help thinking that Ning Liuchen had been stationed at the border for the country for many years, and he also went out to fight when he expelled Dingguo, but now he still has no official position, and he is really ashamed of him!

Ning Liuchen glanced at Ning Xinian, and said, "This subject is the only son of the prime minister of Chengguo. Although he is not as handsome as Pan An, he also claims to be suave and suave. His family background, background, and romantic temperament are not inferior to me. Why take the risk of exterminating the nine clans to have a private meeting with the married Crown Princess?"

"Second Young Master Ning is right!" Empress Han nodded and looked at Emperor Cheng.

Concubine Meng curled her lips in disdain, "Young Master Ning is right, but the facts are in front of your eyes. When the concubine and the emperor passed by, I saw you hugging each other and gazing at each other with affection!"

Ning Liuchen couldn't help sneering, "The servant, please ask Concubine Meng, is the fact before your eyes that Her Highness the Crown Princess and I are doing something wrong, or is it that the two of us are completely wet and the servant is saving the Crown Princess in the pool? No one is around in the middle of the night , the Crown Princess is drowning, is it possible that the courtier who happens to be at the side will stand by and watch the Crown Princess drown to avoid suspicion?"

"Everything Concubine Meng said is tit for tat, isn't there some hidden secret?" He Xiaojin looked cold and looked at Concubine Meng sharply, completely different from her usual tenderness.He Xiaojin said indifferently, "My daughter-in-law was pushed into the pond. Fortunately, Second Young Master Ning rescued her. Instead of being grateful, she was so harsh. Wouldn't it be a violation of royal etiquette? What's more, when my daughter-in-law fell into the water with her front foot, Concubine Meng came with her back foot." Concubine Meng also knows that there is no one there at night, so why did she go there with the emperor?"

"What? Xiao Jin, you mean someone pushed you into the water?" Ye Chunjia frowned, looking nervous.

He Xiaojin nodded, "Exactly!"

Concubine Meng's expression froze, "The emperor said that the whole body of the reviewer was stiff, so I suggested to go for a walk. Who knows, I met you! Even if someone wants to deliberately murder the princess, as the crown princess said, what does it mean?" Why is the Crown Princess staying in the East Palace, where is she going to do it? And why did Second Young Master Ning enter the palace at this time?"

He Xiaojin sneered, looking at Emperor Cheng and Empress Han, "Father, Empress, and my daughter-in-law often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath in recent nights, and they must go for a walk before falling asleep. Today's Qing Jieyu can also testify! The courtier's daughter-in-law has already seen the imperial doctor, and the courtier's daughter-in-law is already more than two months pregnant! Presumably the chest tightness and shortness of breath are caused by fetal gas."

"What? Xiao Jin, are you pregnant?" Ye Chunjia had a hint of excitement on his face, "Why didn't you say it earlier, now kneeling on the ground with wet clothes, how good is it that you are freezing?"

Empress Han looked at Emperor Cheng in surprise, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is pregnant, so it's not appropriate to kneel like this. I'd better invite the imperial doctor to have a look, so as not to damage the emperor's grandson!"

"Queen, this matter still needs to be investigated. Now that this incident has happened, it is worth investigating whether the emperor's grandson's blood is pure or not!" Concubine Meng's face was ashen, why is He Xiaojin pregnant at this time!Even if Emperor Cheng wanted to punish him, he would be lenient.

Ning Liuchen shook his head with a helpless smile, "Why do you want to commit a crime without excuse? Now I can't explain how I can explain it! I was thinking about the recent situation of the third sister in the palace, so I took the risk to enter the palace to see her, but I didn't expect It ended up like this. It just hurt Her Highness the Crown Princess, please don't blame the Crown Princess!"

He Xiaojin sneered, "Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying jade. Father, the daughter-in-law is wronged now. It is not because the daughter-in-law misbehaved, but because the daughter-in-law is pregnant with the emperor's heir as a princess. This is the daughter-in-law of the minister. fault!"

"It's a good thing that the Crown Princess is pregnant! How could it be a fault?" Concubine Xian's voice was tinged with pride.

Hua Zhong and Concubine Xian walked into the hall and saluted Chengdi and others together.

Emperor Cheng waved his hands impatiently, "You two are so late, where are you going? Why didn't you come out after something happened."

Concubine Xian raised her lips and looked at Concubine Meng, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the concubine Yu Ning and the second young master Yu Ning were just wronged and shameless. However, the concubine and the county master Gaoyi discovered something really shameless and dirty. That's why I went to catch the rape on the spot like Concubine Meng."

There was something in Concubine Xian's words, Concubine Meng gritted her teeth and glanced at Emperor Cheng.There was a gleam of sharpness in Emperor Cheng's eyes. There were indeed various coincidences in what happened tonight. Although Concubine Meng's actions were not weird, they were so coincidental that one had to doubt the deliberate intentions and arrangements!Emperor Cheng gouged out Concubine Meng's eyes, Concubine Meng's face was livid and she bowed her head in silence.

Hua Zhong stepped forward and said indifferently, "I have been in the palace for many days, I miss my brother, and I know that it is inconvenient for men to enter the inner palace, and it is not good to tell the empress to make this special case. I have to write a letter and send it out, inviting The elder brother met in the palace at night and asked about the situation of the beautiful lady. But at night, the concubine Xian came to ask the courtier's daughter to ask the courtier's daughter for help, so the time was delayed. Unexpectedly, it caused a misunderstanding, which hurt the reputation of the princess !" Hua Zhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply, "My daughter is guilty! Please punish the emperor and queen."

Seeing this scene, Ning Xinian quickly knelt down and said sadly, "The old minister has no way to teach. It is the fault of the minister that His Highness the Crown Princess is pregnant and suffers this wrong. It's just that the dog is the only son of the old minister. Please take care of the old minister. For the sake of being loyal to the imperial court, spare his life!"
