Chapter 225 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 14
The emperor was irritated. He never thought that Ruyi would come out to accuse his lover.
"If you wish, there's no need to say anything if you're making wild speculations!"
"I'm not speculating. The Ganoderma lucidum soup was placed in a tray. It was neither hot nor heavy. If the mistress didn't mean it, how could she have spilled it? The mistress kept saying that it was because of a gust of wind that she spilled the soup, but this statement Is that true? Little Master... He's not so light that even the wind can blow him down, right? The Little Master lingered in front of the door for a long time, but he never sent the soup in. If he didn't have a plan, the Little Master was standing there. do what?"
The queen glanced at her, and her female officers and father-in-law also expressed that they were all nearby at the time, and what they said was true. Qiu Guiren's fall was really unbelievable and strange!
Everyone was also talking about it, yes, although Qiu Guiren is weak, he is not invincible, how ridiculous! There was no one else around Qiu Guiren at that time, and the ground was clean. Who would believe that she didn't mean it?
Qiu Gui cried angrily, "No...ri, no...ri..." She shouted "no" and wanted to explain, but now who wants to listen to her unclear argument, her denial was just drowned in the in everyone's voice.
The emperor's head hurts!
What did he do in Qiuqiu? Na Ruyi, like her master, is obviously a fool and cannot make up such a lie...
The emperor could only say: "Noble Qiu...has no grudge against the noble concubine, so it won't be a big deal."
At this time the Queen answered:
"Is that not necessarily true? I heard that the imperial concubine's sister pushed the emperor to Yu's sister today. Maybe Qiu Guiren was unhappy, so he was jealous and resentful. Knowing that the imperial concubine's sister was waiting for this bowl of precious Ganoderma lucidum soup, he If your foot slipped on purpose, it would be ruined, right?" If Ruyi said this, it seemed like it was staged, so she could only say it.
The current queen is extremely satisfied with the imperial concubine.
After all, it’s not my own play. Two smart people sang together, and the effect was immediate!
The emperor had been helping Ye Ruqiu to argue from the beginning to the end, and they had finally figured it out. Haha, I really didn’t expect that! This noble Qiu is still a big fish!
Although I don’t know where this fish is now, I can’t let it escape!
If under such circumstances, they still fail when they join forces, then their years of fighting will really be in vain...
At this moment, the emperor was speechless.
When he and Concubine Yu left, he saw Qiuqiu's expression, and for a moment, he actually believed in the possibility that the queen said. Did Qiuqiu get into trouble because of her jealousy? I'm so excited! Why is she so stupid? …
Concubine Yu's face was also ugly.
My cousin did it on purpose—even the queen said so, and she was indeed right.
God knows, at this moment, she is the most aggrieved, okay?
Concubine Yu wanted to cry.
She was not favored in the first place, but today she finally got into the favor of the imperial concubine and invited the emperor to her place. She loved wine, food, and incense. She played the piano and sang songs, and even danced around the emperor for a while. Finally, she saw some warmth in his eyes.
They sent everyone away, and as they watched, the temperature gradually increased, and as time went by, someone came outside to report that "something happened."
She was so angry that she almost fainted.
But she never expected that the person who ruined her good fortune was actually the person closest to her.
At that time, she realized that her cousin was not simple!
When she left with the emperor today, she saw Ye Ruqiu's jealous look. At that time, she was a little apologetic. She originally thought of giving her a bracelet to coax her tomorrow, but she never expected that her cousin was so vicious and resorted to such methods. Come.
The imperial concubine was ill, and she was just waiting for her illness. How could she still wait for something to happen? Isn't this intentional?
To take a step back, if something really happened to her, shouldn't she ask her cousin for help? She actually invited the emperor? She just didn't want to see her well, and wanted to dampen the emperor's interest, right?
If she doesn't get it, is it good for her?
Fortunately for her, she had the opportunity to visit her every month. As a cousin, why couldn't she see her own suffering... At that time, Concubine Yu almost cried in anger.
At this moment, she was reminded by the words of the Queen and the Concubine, and Concubine Yu suddenly realized that her cousin was both strange and scary. While he was harming the imperial concubine, he was also ruining his own affairs. It was like killing two birds with one stone! …
On the other side, the queen continued to output firepower: "If what Ruyi said is true, then Qiu Guizhen is the one who assassinated the imperial concubine's sister, which is even more offending! Adding up several crimes, I feel that just twenty boards are a minor offense. Yes, what does the Emperor think?"
Ye Ruqiu is going crazy. She broke the Ganoderma lucidum soup and copied the messy scriptures. The other party used these to attack, but she really couldn't find any evidence to disprove it. It's a pity that now she is making fun of her and making it inconvenient to argue. She is really angry to death!
And she didn't know how to argue, and the emperor didn't know how to excuse her.
The emperor opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say: "To put it bluntly, the murder of the imperial concubine is still speculation. If there is no direct evidence, it will not be counted. The imperial concubine is still ill, and she is almost cured. With so many people watching, the queen should keep the big deal down. What Lingzhi said , I’ll go look for it in my warehouse, it should be hundreds of years old. How unbecoming are you all gathering here to watch the excitement!”
"Your Majesty, even if there are many people watching, I cannot show favoritism. Since I am standing here, I must be impartial. Otherwise, why should I follow the palace rules?" The queen said confidently.
"My dear concubine..."
The emperor also wanted to talk about Yu Tong, but was interrupted by Yu Tong.
"Your Majesty!" Tao Ran's eyes showed disappointment: "Is Your Majesty coming here for my concubine, or for Lord Qiu?"
The emperor was stunned and quickly stepped forward: "Of course it's for my beloved concubine." He was a little panicked. Was he too obvious?
"Since it is for my concubine, how can the emperor not make the decision for me? The emperor is helping Sister Qiu every word, but it makes the emperor seem to be excusing Sister Qiu."
"My beloved concubine has misunderstood." The emperor found himself facing a big problem. On the one hand, there is a plan that has been planned for many years, related to his personal self-esteem and future plans. On one side is his lover who is in danger.
He could only protect one of the two.
The emperor made his decision in just one breath.
"Qiu Qiu has done something wrong and will naturally be punished. I will definitely not show favoritism." Qiuqiu will accept some injustice for the time being. For the sake of the great cause, she will understand.
"I will not interfere in this matter." Under Yu Tong's doubtful eyes, the emperor added...
At that moment, God knows how cold Ye Ruqiu was. Although he should put the great cause first, he should at least hesitate, right? Compared with the great cause, you are still dispensable, right? Sad. More sad than being wrongly accused...
When the emperor saw his lover sitting on the ground, he really couldn't bear to see her. Apart from being distressed, he had to think carefully and said: "Queen, the imperial concubine is ill. It is not suitable to see blood in Yikun Palace. Qiu Guizhen is also weak, so there is no need to fight."
At this point, the queen was satisfied.
The emperor's attitude must be to protect that person. If she persists blindly, she will only offend the emperor. In front of so many people, don't make her hold on and contradict him blindly, then she will give him face.
The queen took a step forward:
"Your Majesty Qiu, I will spare you the punishment. But today you have committed several crimes and you cannot be spared lightly. I believe that your virtue has fallen short and you should be demoted one level. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
