Chapter 864: Want to Flatter the Horse, but Fail Instead
"What's going on?" After the emperor sat down, his face turned cold when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to live anymore. I just asked about the affairs of the Marquis of Xingguo. Miss Shao Wu mocked me for not having a family background as good as hers. I was so angry that I couldn't argue with her. She also pushed me and my sister. , Your Majesty, I am a concubine... I am an embarrassment to the Emperor, I am a concubine and I can’t live any longer!”
The palace concubine, who had just sought death and life, knelt down for a few steps and cried with tears and runny nose.
This content really amazed Shao Wanru. He was really capable of talking nonsense in front of so many people.
There were quite a few people present just now, but most of them were from the Queen's Palace, and the rest were the few ladies who were about to enter Prince Yue's Mansion and Prince Zhou's Mansion.
The queen didn't speak, and no one dared to answer.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and my concubines!" Another concubine also cried. The situation of the two of them was simpler than the other. Her words pointed out that it was all because of Shao Wanru that she was like this. of.
As expected, all the concubines in the palace have lived in the palace. They are proficient in slander, slander, and misrepresentation. Shao Wanru was at a disadvantage after just two sentences.
Zhang Qilan moved. She actually wanted to explain to Shao Wanru, but Princess Yuanan reached out and grabbed her sleeve. She then silently shook her head at her, indicating that she should not move in vain.
The two of them have known each other for a long time, and they got along well in the past. Zhang Qilan knew that she also meant well. At this time, it was not her turn as a subordinate daughter to speak, but she watched helplessly as Shao Wan was being treated by two palace concubines. Feeling frustrated after being wronged, he turned his eyes to the Queen.
Only the Queen can best explain the situation, and only the Queen can speak at this time. However, the Queen looks very calm at the moment, with her lips pursed tightly, and she has no intention of helping.
Princess Yuan'an shook Zhang Qilan's sleeves again, signaling her to continue listening. Zhang Qilan nodded helplessly.
Shao Wanru didn't see the interaction between the two of them. She stood with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered, listening quietly to the two concubines blaming everything on her. She was silent about the Queen. Silently, she was not surprised. The Queen's attitude towards her was originally unkind, and even though she had a smile on her face, it looked like nothing more than a cold mask.
It was impossible for the Queen to explain to him that he didn't beat and scold the two concubines. It would have been good if he didn't step on her at the critical moment.
The Queen Empress took out her dissatisfaction with Shao Yanru and her dislike of the Xingguo Hou Mansion on herself.
"Uncle Emperor, what's going on, the market?" A lazy voice suddenly came from outside the palace door, with a hint of sinisterness.
The queen's heart skipped a beat when she looked up and saw Chu Liuchen standing at the door with her hands behind her back.
In the shadow of the backlight, Chu Liuchen no longer looked sunny and gentle, but had a sinister and cold look that made people feel heartbroken.
As he slowly walked in, seeing the smile on his face made people feel warm in their hearts. In fact, it belonged to the gentle and elegant King Chen!
He walked up to the emperor, bowed to the emperor, and then bowed to the empress. Then he sat down on a large chair on one side. His handsome eyes looked up and down at the two concubines who were having a lot of trouble. He said disgustedly: "Uncle, where did these two come from? Did they commit something to be like this? They are just two women. If there is anything wrong, let others try it. Why should I dirty myself?" hands!"
Chu Liuchen said casually, his eyes were clear and elegant, and the beautiful face he reflected became more and more outstanding, but these words made the two concubines tremble.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and my concubines. They were all harmed by Miss Shao. I have lost face to the emperor and cannot see the emperor. I'd better die!"
The crying concubine came to her senses and continued to cry, getting up and hitting the pillar.
The palace people were in a panic again, fearing that she might accidentally bump into a pillar, which would be a serious crime in front of the emperor.
"Why are you pulling her? Since she wants to die, let her die." Chu Liuchen said lightly.
With one word, everyone's eyes turned to him. In everyone's eyes at this moment, that beautiful and innocent face was no longer the pure and gentle one it was before.
"The Empress, is she right? Miss Shao Wu did something to her?" Chu Liuchen seemed not to see the horror in everyone's eyes and raised his eyes to look at the Empress and said bluntly.
These words were very direct, and the Queen couldn't avoid it. Originally she could pretend to be reasonable, but now she couldn't. Even though most of the people in the palace were hers, but with other people around, this matter couldn't be kept a secret.
The facts will eventually be found out.
He coughed lowly, as if he had just woken up from the shock, "Your Majesty, these two made themselves like this. Miss Shao Wu didn't do anything to them!"
The Queen's words were very pertinent. It sounded like she was helping Shao Wanru from Shao Wanru's point of view, but she did not explain what the two concubines said before about Shao Wanru mocking them first.
Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at the Queen, and saw that she smiled kindly at him, bowed to the Queen, and remained silent.
It was not her turn to speak at this time. Now that Chu Liuchen was here, she was relieved.
"What does the Queen mean to say that they have framed Miss Shao Wu? Miss Shao Wu has been in purgatory for a long time and has not been in contact with many people. She should not be able to offend many people. Is it because of this king?" Chu Liuchen looked at this. The two concubines, who no longer dared to cry anymore, suddenly smiled.
The smile on the Queen's face stiffened
After coming down, Chu Liuchen was really having a hard time dealing with it. He could actually make him say that he wanted to expose the two palace concubines with just such a decent sentence.
These two concubines did such things to please themselves. In the past, these two concubines were smart and very flattering to themselves. As long as they showed some disgust or displeasure, they would immediately follow their wishes. , is a very useful person in her hand, but she doesn’t want to fold it here, and she still folds it in her hand.
"Actually, this is not a big deal. It's just a few quarrels between the girls in the boudoir. Someone came to help the person up. The emperor is here, how can he allow people to be presumptuous!" the queen said slowly.
The words were spoken very gently, and the meaning of calming down the trouble was obvious.
"Uncle Emperor, my princess has been humiliated like this. I really can't bear to swallow this!" Chu Liuchen's smile was a bit evil, and his handsome eyebrows were raised.
The queen was willing to settle the matter, but he was not willing to do so. His people could not be easily bullied.
"Come here, knock them down with ten sticks each!" The emperor looked at Chu Liuchen's face and said in a cold voice with a serious face. Two eunuchs came over, stepped forward and dragged the two concubines down.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
"Empress, help me!" The two concubines saw that it was not good and begged loudly for mercy. This time they really started crying. They originally thought that according to the Queen's wishes, the Queen would definitely look down on them, but they didn't expect it. He caught the emperor's eye, and what he didn't expect was that King Chen would show up and protect Miss Shao Wu wholeheartedly.
The two concubines regretted it. If they had known that King Chen was so protective of his wife, they would not have done this just now!
Even if they don't die this time, they will probably be laughed at by everyone in the harem, and the two concubines will feel regretful and angry.
"Your Majesty..." The Queen's face changed, and she really wanted to save the person.
"Queen, this is not my responsibility, but since the queen is kind-hearted, I will take care of it for you once. If the people in the harem are all such slanderous people, how can there be peace in the harem? How can the queen still do it?" More snacks!"
The emperor reprimanded in a cold voice, which meant that even the empress was scolding her. The empress was annoyed and gritted her teeth secretly in anger, but she could do nothing about it. She had known that the emperor's heart was biased, but it was never her who was biased. It was Chu Liuchen in front of him.
I was like this when I was little, but I still act like this when I grow up, making myself look embarrassed in front of so many people.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, warned himself again and again, then slowly raised his head, with a gentle smile on his face, and bowed to the emperor: "What the emperor reprimanded is, These are all my concubines who didn’t think well, thinking that they are all the Emperor’s people and should be treated more leniently!”
"The Queen is really kind!" Although the Emperor's voice was cold, his expression softened. He looked at the people around him and asked with a hint, "Are these all?"
"Yes, these are all!" The Empress smiled, as if nothing happened just now. The two concubines had been pulled down. They were far away and they didn't know where the execution would be. The hall had returned to peace and tranquility. look.
Shao Wanru and others had been rearranged to sit down. The emperor glanced at the women and nodded. He had seen most of these candidates, but there were some that he had never seen before. After taking a look at them, he felt quite satisfied. .
But when his eyes fell on Shao Wanru, he frowned. He was not very satisfied!
This dissatisfaction comes from Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru's character makes the emperor feel uncomfortable when he thinks about it. Although she is now known as his concubine, she is actually just like being relegated to a distant corner in the cold palace.
No matter how beautiful she is, there is never a shortage of beauties in this palace. Of course, the emperor will not fall in love with a femme fatale who may even make brothers and fathers quarrel with each other. The purpose of throwing her in the palace is to avoid Chu Liuyue. There was another dispute with Chu Liuzhou because of this woman.
And the current Miss Shao Wu feels to the emperor that she is too charming, really too charming. At such a young age, she is almost naturally charming. Even among all the beauties, she is the center of attraction. Fortunately, her eyes and brows are beautiful. There is a sense of coldness in it, which dilutes the charming charm, but also because of this, the eyes are even more moving.
Can my nephew's body really endure it? The emperor looked at Shao Wanru and frowned more and more. He regretted agreeing to the Queen Mother's marriage...
