Chapter 53 Cracks
"I am also very troubled by this matter. That beautiful shoulder is indeed a relic of the late emperor. According to the law, breaking the imperial gift is contempt for the emperor's grace, and it is also a great disrespect to the late emperor. It will be beheaded."
Zhaohua's expression was a bit serious, she didn't mention Wei Young's accusation of assaulting Chu Huairou at all, but instead gave Wei Young a bigger hat.
Wei Young didn't expect the matter to be so serious, after hearing what Zhaohua said, she was a little stunned, "I...I...I didn't."
Feihua took a step forward, "Your Majesty, this matter was not done by my wife, but by the maid of Lanyue Palace. When she was using a cup to receive tea, she pushed her, and the lady's cup knocked down the teapot in the princess's hand." of."
When Chu Huairou heard this, she looked at Fei Hua weeping, "Miss Fei Hua is saying that I deliberately broke the teapot to blame Mrs. Jing?"
Fei Hua frowned and wanted to say something, but Wei Young stopped her, "This matter happened because of me, Fei Hua, don't explain it."
After finishing speaking, Wei Young knelt down to Zhaohua, "Your Majesty, if it was done by my wife, of course my wife would not play tricks, but as Fei Hua said, my wife was indeed hit by someone."
According to Feihua's testimony, Wei Young herself thought about it, because the incident happened in a flash, she didn't pay attention at the time, but thinking about it now, it seems that someone really bumped into her.
Zhaohua frowned and looked at Chu Huairou. Chu Huairou received Zhaohua's suspicious gaze, pulled his sleeves and began to cry, "Your Majesty, punish Rong Ting. This pot was given to Rong Ting by His Majesty, and Rong Ting did not keep it. good."
Crystal tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes like broken threads, making Chu Huairou extremely aggrieved.
"Mrs. Jing, Rong Ting just admires your talent and name. If Madam doesn't like Rong Ting, Rong Ting will never offend Madam again."
As soon as Chu Huairou said the words, everyone in the hall cast their eyes on Wei Young, their eyes were full of disapproval.
Wei Young was a little inexplicably anxious, and asked back: "When did I say you offended me again? It was obviously your court lady who was domineering on the road. You said you were ashamed of me and dragged me to your palace as a guest. How do you react now? Come and blame me?"
Chu Huairou was so frightened by Wei Young's suddenly raised voice that she shrank into Zhaohua's arms beside her, and the maid next to her stood up and said, "Madam Jing, my princess has already admitted her mistake, don't try to murder my princess, my princess is not in good health. Well, I have heart palpitations, and I can't bear to be scared."
Wei Young is a little angry, if she is dissatisfied and quarrels, why hide behind others, even Ouyang Feishuang, if she has any opinions on Wei Young, she is straightforward, how can she use other people to suppress her, knowing that she is at a disadvantage , but the explanation is not clear, Wei Young feels very aggrieved, the most aggrieved thing is that there is only Feihua on her side, Jing Li is not around, and there is no one to support herself.
Zhaohua hugged Chu Huairou who was trembling in his arms, and his tone became even colder, "Mrs. Jing, Princess Rongting was appointed by me personally. I don't know why Madam is dissatisfied with my princess, so she wants to scare her like this."
"I... my wife didn't." Wei Young was about to cry, "My wife was not dissatisfied with the princess, nor did she break the teapot."
When the atmosphere was tense, the eunuch sent a message, and the queen mother arrived.
Afterwards, Queen Hui walked in gracefully, followed by Bai Xiwan with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes.
"Your Majesty's place is really lively, Ai's family can hear voices from all the way."
Seeing Queen Hui coming, Zhaohua stood up from the chair, walked to Queen Hui, helped her to sit beside her, "Queen Mother, why are you here?"
Bai Xiwan quietly stepped aside.
"If the Ai family doesn't come, the palace will be turned upside down. It's just that the Ai family is very curious. Is there really no one in this harem? When something happened, the Ai family was the last to know."
The words were already filled with anger, Huihou glanced at Chu Huairou coldly, and she was clearly blaming her for not knowing the rules, and for the matter of the harem, she went over her to find Zhaohua, and it was clear that she would not let her go in the eyes.
Of course Chu Huairou knew what Empress Hui meant, but she had always had no feelings for Empress Hui. The world belonged to Zhaohua, and there were no other concubines in the palace to compete with her. Zhaohua is fine alone.Chu Huairou is very confident. Based on Zhaohua's liking for her, she will definitely not blame her.
Sure enough, Zhao Hua pretended not to understand what Empress Hui said, "Empress Mother, you are old and in poor health, how dare you bother you with such trivial matters."
Hui Hou sneered, "If you dare not bother Ai's family, should you trouble Your Majesty?"
After all, the harem is just a courtyard of the royal family, and the world is where the emperor should worry. It's fine for Zhaohua to love Chu Huairou, but to protect Chu Huairou is a bit of a disregard for etiquette.
Zhaohua smiled, and patted Queen Hui on the back reassuringly, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. If Queen Mother gets angry, it will be the son's fault."
Zhaohua's actions made Queen Hui soften her body. After all, she was only here to watch the show, and she didn't want to really argue with Zhaohua on this point. What is His Majesty planning?"
"This..." Zhao Hua glanced at Wei Young with some embarrassment, "This matter..."
From Zhaohua's complicated look, Wei Young got a piece of information, that is, Zhaohua doesn't like her.
Although Wei Young is not smart, her amazing intuition tells her that Zhao Hua doesn't like her. Ever since Chu Huairou entered the palace to complain, Zhao Hua hasn't looked at Wei Young very much, or in other words, since she came into contact with Zhao Hua, she hasn't been very kind. Di and Wei Young have talked, and the communication between the two is very little. Wei Young naturally knows that the emperor has the majesty of the emperor, and he will not be stupid enough to challenge him, but why Zhaohua can joke with Jingli at will? In front of her, she has always looked like a filial daughter, but she has never had a good look at her friend's wife.
Maybe it's because I'm not liked by others? Wei Yang thought, she's not as beautiful as Ouyang Feishuang, and she doesn't want to be as charming as Chu Huairou. It's normal not to be liked, Wei Young suddenly realized that everything she got was because of Jing Li, if she hadn't been married to Jing Li, how could she have the opportunity to enter the palace, how could there be so many famous wives fawning on her, but... Wei Young raised her head slowly, and looked firmly at the emperor who was not angry and pretentious, "Your Majesty, the minister's wife will not recognize things that have not been done, just go and check it out, Your Majesty."
No matter how bad I am, I am still a member of the Xiangfu. It doesn't matter if I am wronged, but I can't ruin the reputation of the Xiangfu.
The maid beside Chu Huairou said, "Where does Mrs. Jing put my princess in such an attitude? When Madam was drinking tea, there were no court ladies beside Madam. At that time, there were only maids from Jing Mansion next to Madam. Could it be that the maids of Jing Mansion pushed her away?" I can't get my wife."
Wei Young was so angry that she couldn't speak, Lanyue Palace was Chu Huairou's territory, so she and Fei Hua couldn't argue with each other.
"I only found out today how arrogant the maids of the Lanyue Palace are. When the room is full of people who are in charge, when is it the turn of a little maid to point fingers?"
Black hair, white robe, with a very faint smile on her face, but eyes full of sharp knives, Jing Li walked in from the gate of the hall, the light behind her shone on her back, and reflected in front of her. A cloud of shadows, she first scanned the hall, then fixed her eyes on Wei Young, gave him a comforting smile, then threw off her robe, and knelt on the spot, "I see your majesty, see the queen mother."
Yi Miao and two maids followed Jing Li, and Yi Miao also gave a jerky salute, "See the emperor, see the queen mother."
Seeing Jing Li's arrival, Fei Hua's heart fell back to the original place, while Wei Young's nose was sore, if someone was not there, she almost threw herself into Jing Li's arms and burst into tears.
"Pingshen." Zhaohua was a little embarrassed, "Why is Aiqing here?"
Jing Li got up gracefully, walked to Wei Young's side, and gave Wei Young an invisible support. She glanced at Chu Huairou, then quickly looked away, "If I don't come again, I'm afraid Huaxian will have to marry me another daughter-in-law. gone."
"What does Aiqing mean? With me here, I will definitely not wrong your wife."
"It's not that I don't believe in Your Majesty, it's just that some people have deceived the crowd with demonic words, and I'm afraid that Your Majesty will also be deceived by the demon girl."
As soon as Jing Li's words fell, Chu Huairou's expression became very ugly.
Zhaohua was a little dissatisfied, "Aiqing's words are inappropriate. Princess Rongting was not disrespectful to Mrs. Jing from the beginning to the end, and there was love in her words, and in the end the princess took the responsibility on herself , how come the rumors to confuse the public."
Jing Li raised her lips, "I know the character of my wife, and your majesty is also very clear about the character of my wife, besides, I still have evidence."
After hearing the evidence once, Chu Huairou couldn't sit still, "Master Xiang, Rong Ting can understand that you love your wife dearly, but Rong Ting can't agree with you if you found the evidence in such a short period of time."
Jing Li ignored Chu Huairou, but nodded to Yi Miao who was behind her, and Yi Miao clapped her hands, "Bring me in."
The maid behind Jing Li nodded, and grabbed a heavily tied maid from outside the palace and walked in.
"When I came over from Lanyue Palace, I found that the woman looked sneaky and was holding a bag in her hand. She was about to leave through the side door furtively. I was puzzled, so I caught her and questioned her. I didn't expect her to come back in less than a few words. Explain the matter, she pushed my wife."
When she saw the maid bound on the ground, Chu Huairou panicked. She tried her best to hold back her panic, and smiled, "Master, although this maid is wearing a palace costume, I don't know her, and she doesn't know her." For those who hold the Moon Palace, it is difficult to conclude that she is the evidence just based on Xiangye's one-sided words."
