Chapter 224 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 13
The emperor has tried his best to come.
When he saw the one he loved being tortured to the point of agony, his heart ached so much. It was his fault that he failed to protect his lover! Those hateful bitches, those who dared to hurt him!
After giving Ye Ruqiu a comforting look, the emperor strode towards the queen.
"What is the queen doing! How inappropriate is it to yell and scream!"
The queen sneered. My husband has always been so ridiculous. In front of everyone, he attacked himself indiscriminately. "Your Majesty made a mistake. It's not the concubine who is dishonorable. It's Qiu Guiren."
Seeing that there were many people watching, the emperor once again set up a loving gesture. "The queen doesn't know that the concubine is sick? If you really want to humiliate others, you have to endure it. You can't disturb the concubine's rest and affect her condition." It seemed that his visit was all for the concubine.
"That's what the emperor said!" Faced with the emperor's ridicule, the queen lost face, but she always kept in mind that she was the face and dignity representative of the great clan, and the mother of a country recognized by the late emperor, so she always argued with reason.
"It is for the sake of my sister that I have to quickly deal with Qiu Guiren who has been disturbing my sister's rest. However, Qiu Guiren and her people are stubborn and refuse to give up." She wanted to try, the emperor said Is this Qiu Guijun really caring, or is it because of the relationship between using and being used.
"Qiu Guiren offended the imperial concubine and sister first, contradicted and disobeyed me at the end, and allowed the slaves to do it several times. The emperor said, should I be punished? I am the master of the first palace. At this time, do you want to stand up? ?”
"..." So many crimes? The emperor frowned.
He came in a hurry after being notified by the chamberlain who stayed with Ye Ruqiu. The waiter knew little about it and couldn't explain it clearly. Everything he heard along the way was just hearsay.
But he knew Qiuqiu. She was the most non-competitive and the most low-key. How could she be disobedient?
"Qiu Guiren has always been loyal, is there any misunderstanding?"
"Your Majesty, so many of us have seen everything she and her servants say and do, right? We all misunderstood her, right? If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask each of them."
The emperor looked at everyone. As far as he could see, in addition to the Queen's people, there were also many people from Yikun Palace, but no one stood up to say a fair word for Qiuqiu.
Emperor: "Noble Qiu, what do you say?"
Qiu Guiren burst into tears, but unfortunately, because the image was really not good, there was no sense of beauty at all.
"Hate...thank you...mu...you, hate...thank you...you are wronged...in vain."
The emperor was stunned for a moment before realizing that what his lover said was: I am not a concubine, I am unjustly accused.
Because of being slapped, Ye Ruqiu's lips bulged and her gums on both sides were swollen. When she opened her mouth, she felt so painful that she felt like fainting. She tried her best, but her speech could not be slurred. How could she defend herself like this? Debate or not, she is a joke.
She heard laughter from the crowd. At this moment, she just wanted to die.
She covered her face and cried even harder.
The emperor was depressed and the victim didn't speak out. How could he help her get out of trouble?
His eyes lit up when he glanced at Yu Tong.
"Concubine, tell me what's going on." The emperor kept winking at the concubine. Huh, if the concubine and the queen don't deal with each other, she will naturally know how to talk. Moreover, Qiuqiu helped the imperial concubine today, so there was no way she could harm Qiuqiu.
Tao Ran held the door open, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his mental state was very bad. He seemed to have completely failed to understand the emperor's hopeful eyes: "Sister Qiu... she threw my 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum soup. It's true." I contradicted the Queen..."
emperor:"……"
The emperor was a little puzzled. What on earth did his Qiuqiu do? How could the imperial concubine not help her?
The queen was very satisfied with the imperial concubine's attitude. She was a little worried just now, fearing that Yu Tong would defect.
Tao Ran gave the queen a "just feel at ease" look, and then winked at Ruyi. She was responsible for the whole thing, so naturally she couldn't ask the queen to perform a one-man show.
"Your Majesty, this servant has something to say." Ruyi knelt down with an aggrieved look on his face. "Please forgive me for your rudeness, Your Majesty."
The emperor only thought that someone wanted to speak to his Qiuqiu, so he quickly agreed: "But it doesn't matter."
"Replying to the emperor, Qiu Guiren is not here to take care of the disease at all, but to deliberately anger our empress. Although our empress and Qiu Guiren do not have close contact with each other on weekdays, they do not have any hatred. I don't know why Qiu Guiren is... "
Ruyi choked up and said, "Just let our queen suffer."
"What?" The emperor was stunned.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Tao Ran lowered his head slightly just in time, biting his lips lightly.
Qiu Guiren was so confused that she covered her face and shook her head: "That's nonsense!" Her words caused many people to cover their mouths and stifle laughter.
As one wishes:
"As soon as the Emperor and Concubine Yu left Yikun Palace, Lord Qiu waved his sleeves to leave, saying that he didn't want to wait for Ji. Your young master didn't even say hello to our Lady. Is this the case?"
Qiu Guiren did not deny it, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"At that time, for the sake of Concubine Yu, our empress was always thinking about her, so she asked us to stop them.
What the empress meant was that the young master left as soon as he said so, as if he was jealous of the concubine. In order to prevent the young master from becoming jealous, domineering and using the excuse of waiting for someone to be ill, but in fact the goal was the emperor's reputation, so he let the young master go first. Copy a sutra, calm down, and at least wait until dark before leaving..."
At this point, everyone was already talking about it. I can't tell that Ye Ruqiu is such a thing. Just leave as soon as you say, arrogant, throw away your face whenever you want, even the imperial concubine dares to show off, but I don’t know what I can rely on?
Ye Ruqiu opened her mouth, but didn't know how to finish. Of course, she was too embarrassed to say it.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, our empress is thinking about the little master. The empress is so kind, but who knows, the noble mistress..." Ruyi's eyes turned red.
"What is she?" the queen said quickly.
"She felt that our empress was deliberately making things difficult for her. She was very unhappy at the time. She kept making things difficult for us servants without telling her. When they were copying scriptures there, they were wiping their tears and cursing. Many servants in Yikun Palace saw it... "
Is it true? Is it true that Ye Ruqiu wiped away tears at that time? She was wronged. But cursing was an exaggeration. The most she could do was mutter, but she couldn't prove it to herself.
Ruyi asked someone to go to the side hall and bring all the scriptures copied by Qiu Guiren not long ago.
"This is the scripture copied by the little master."
The emperor had no intention of taking it, but when he saw the queen extending her hand, he quickly grabbed it.
There are several pieces of scripture, one is wrinkled, another is crooked, and another... the first half is very perfunctory, and the last part not only contains errors, but also has blurred ink...
It is indeed the word Qiuqiu.
But this is not a big deal, right?
"My young master knew that our empress was seriously injured and needed scriptures to pray for blessings, but she deliberately wrote it like this, which shows her thoughts." Ruyi knelt down and twitched, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"At that time, the slave didn't think much about it. She just thought that since the master didn't want to copy the scriptures, he shouldn't copy it. So, the slave gave the master the Ganoderma lucidum soup that had just been cooked. He knew that the soup had been stewed since morning. Knowing that our queen is waiting to drink it, this soup is still five hundred years old and a good gift from the emperor, but my mistress, she still... still dropped it!"
Ruyi knocked on the ground heavily: "Just like the little master did at that time, I suspect that she threw the Ganoderma lucidum soup on purpose!"
