Chapter 72 Take off your clothes and prove yourself
Aunt Xiang immediately went into the house and took some needle and thread and handed it to Aunt Chen.
[Is this Linger stupid? If you dare to offend a long-time grandma, won't you be walking around without food? no! Such a bad incident cannot happen in the cold palace, and there is no way anyone will make a fuss about it. ]
Just as Ying'an was about to stop him, footsteps sounded outside the palace.
Listening to the voice, it was Wei Weiran.
She twisted her fingers and immediately sent the needle and thread in Nanny Chen's hand back to the sewing box in the room.
If Wei Weiran were to search for evidence on the spot, he would be sure to get it right.
When Wei Weiran came in, what he saw was Ling'er lying on the ground, with Grandma Xiang and Grandma Chen squatting in front of her.
This look, no matter how you look at it, looks like bullying in the palace.
Wei Weiran's expression changed immediately, and he straightened his back and said, "What are you guys doing?"
After that, he looked at Nanny Chen and said in a slightly softer tone, "Nanny Chen, tell me, what happened?"
He was a man close to the emperor, so his words were like imperial decrees in front of the palace ladies.
Even Ling'er, who always prided herself on being noble, said nothing in front of Wei Weiran, but raised her head high, as if deliberately trying to Wei Weiran looked at the wound on her face.
But he didn't even look at her the whole time.
She looked like she was here to support Nanny Chen and Nanny Xiang.
Nanny Chen stood up and bowed, "Eunuch Wei, when I was carrying Princess Ying'an back to the cold palace, I happened to see Ling'er pushing her towards you, saying that Concubine Shugui was an unfavored concubine and that the princess was an unfavored concubine. The favored princess was sent to the cold palace, and she even... did not take the emperor seriously. I said she despised the imperial power and had no respect for the superiors, but she didn't care. She said that she belonged to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and no one in the palace could do anything to her. I was so angry that I…”
After saying this, she shed two tears at the right time and sobbed, “I know what I am doing. It is inappropriate. Although it is for the sake of the master and the emperor's face, it is still a mistake. Please punish me, Eunuch Wei."
When the emotion reached a climax, Nanny Chen knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
"I hope that after I leave, Eunuch Wei can help me take care of Concubine Dianshu. Every time the emperor goes to Guangling Palace, his favorite dish is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the small kitchen. In the past, I prepared it for the emperor on behalf of the queen, but I am afraid I will have to trouble you in the future. "My father-in-law is gone."
Every word she said expressed her reluctance and sincerity.
Wei Weiran frowned: "When did I say I would punish you? Get up."
He knew better than anyone how important Nanny Chen was in the heart of Concubine Shugui. If he really punished Nanny Chen, he was afraid that he would be in trouble in the future. He had already offended Consort Shugui in the palace.
This road would not work.
He then looked at Ling'er lying on the ground and asked condescendingly, "What's your name?"
Ling'er trembled all over and no longer had the arrogance she had just now.
She could ignore the people around Concubine Shugui, but Wei Weiran was an old man around the emperor. Not to mention her, even her
mother had to give him some face.
His words could decide Her life or death.
"Ling'er."
"Eunuch Wei, before you came in, Nanny Chen asked Nanny Xiang to go to the house and get needle and thread to sew up my mouth. In the imperial city, the emperor is so close to me. Such a vile and vicious act, Don't you care about it?"
Wei Weiran turned to Nanny Chen and asked, "Is it true?"
Nanny Chen shook her head calmly and said, "No."
Although she didn't know why the needle and thread she had just held in her hand It disappeared without a trace, but it was certain that she didn't have it on her at the moment.
She subconsciously glanced at the princess in Nanny Xiang's arms. For some reason, she felt that it was the princess who did it.
Wei Weiran said calmly: "She said no."
Ling'er's eyes widened, not caring about anything else, and angrily said: "Eunuch Wei, you are so blatantly partial, it's really unfair!"
Wei Weiran was obviously unhappy, She said in a deep voice: "Then tell me, where is the needle and thread?" Ling'er
felt extremely relaxed. She stood up, patted the dirt off her body, and with a wolfish face, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Aunt Chen.
In her hand!"
She had just seen with her own eyes that Nanny Xiang handed the needle and thread to Nanny Chen. She didn't believe it. The evidence was conclusive and Nanny Chen could not be convicted!
If she could help the Empress get rid of Concubine Shugui, A strong opponent, the Queen will definitely report to the Emperor and ask for her.
By then, she will kill Wei Weiran!
But who would have thought that as soon as the words fell, Nanny Chen stretched out her hand, checked it from front to back, and spread out all five fingers.
Nanny Chen snorted coldly: "Do you need me to take off my clothes on the spot to prove myself?"
Wei Weiran was startled. The fact that the nanny said such a bold thing showed her sincerity.
Moreover, she was Concubine Shugui's person.
Even if she really wanted to sew Ling'er's mouth, if she really went to the point of taking off her clothes to prove herself, then It was disrespectful to Consort Shugui, and if it was more serious, it would be like Consort Shugui taking off her clothes to prove herself.
This act was tantamount to seeking death.
It was like slitting one's neck, kicking one's feet in front of the emperor, and saying in a mean way - you Kill me, I don't want to live anymore.
Not right, not right...
Wei Weiran immediately pinched his throat and shouted: "Ling'er, the cold palace, will be sent to the Xinzheku to do hard labor. I will report back to the emperor and then decide."
The guards outside the palace heard this. Ling'er knew she
was powerless, and couldn't figure out where Nanny Chen's needle and thread had gone. She could only cry out weakly, "Eunuch Wei, I am Nanny Yu in the Empress's palace. "Daughter of the Empress Dowager, aren't you afraid of offending the Empress Dowager by doing this?"
Wei Weiran remained indifferent.
Within a cup of tea, the news that Ling'er from the cold palace was exiled to Xinzheku
spread like wildfire. Word of mouth spread, and the news was exaggerated. In the end, it happened that the Empress had a daughter who was in the cold palace, and Eunuch Wei handled the matter on his own and disrespected the Empress.
When Wei Weiran arrived at Chengqian Palace, Emperor Qingling was furious.
He threw a cup of tea at Wei Weiran, and the teacup bloomed into a camellia flower on the ground, with fragments scattered everywhere.
"I asked you to go to the cold palace to take care of the princess, You are so good, openly defying the Empress Dowager, you are so brave now! You might as well tell me directly that I will allow you to be the Emperor! "
Wei Weiran's head hit the debris on the ground, blood gushing out, but even so, he didn't dare to stop. It wasn't
until Emperor Qing Ling spoke up to stop him, his voice calm: "Tell me! What exactly happened?"
Wei Weiran breathed a sigh of relief.
He was betting that the emperor just said it in anger.
The emperor didn't really blame him, but he was angry that he had to spend so much time dealing with the empress dowager and the queen. After years of companionship, the emperor naturally understood his character. If there was no reason, he would not risk offending the queen to stand out.
Wei Weiran straightened his back and looked directly at Emperor Qing Ling. He ignored the blood on his forehead and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, Ling'er in the cold palace is Nanny Yu's biological daughter. She used extraordinary means to enter the palace to serve Lady Jiang. Later, the Jiang family was exterminated, and Ling'er was secretly saved by the Empress Dowager. When I just passed by, I happened to see Ling'er pushing Nanny Xiang down, and Nanny Xiang had multiple fractures. Fortunately, the princess was held by Nanny Chen at the time, so she survived. Moreover, Ling'er kept saying that Concubine Shu and the princess were not favored and would be abandoned by the emperor. She also despised the imperial power and had no regard for the superior or the inferior. She said that the empress was the master of the palace, so this servant..."
