Chapter 39
Carried her out
The emperor let go of Empress Song who was clinging to him and shouted with a frown.
"Save the people for me!"
Three generations of the Jiang family have served as directors of the Imperial Observatory. Although their rank may seem low, the emperor knows that if it were not for the ancestral rule that the Imperial Observatory was no longer allowed to serve as the director of other court officials, the Jiang family would definitely have a prime minister.
Let’s not talk about that.
The Imperial Observatory had a special and important status. To put it more seriously, the emperor's fortune might very well be in their hands.
So Jiang Zhaoying must be rescued.
"yes."
The guards and eunuchs received the order.
He hurriedly grabbed a bucket of water and poured it on himself, then grabbed a wet blanket and covered himself with it and rushed back into the sea of fire. There was someone inside to help him, and they quickly carried the unconscious Jiang Zhaoying out.
The Crown Prince, King Yunzhong, King Yueming, and Princess Lin'an all hurried over after hearing the letter, and many ladies of different ranks also came with them.
When they saw the guard coming out holding a bunch of bedding, they were all shocked.
The guard carefully placed the bedding on the ground and gently unfolded it. Jiang Zhaoying's weak appearance caught everyone's eyes.
Her body was snow-white, but stained with blood; her skin was as white as jade, but completely black. How could such a petite person escape from the fire?
"Miss……"
Shu Yun screamed miserably and rushed towards Jiang Zhaoying, shaking with fear.
“Still alive.”
The guard stepped forward and reported to the emperor, who hurriedly said.
"Go call the doctor, quickly."
The prince had only been there for a moment, but he had already seen everything around him and had a rough guess, so he saluted the emperor.
"Father, this place is not far from the East Palace. Place her in the East Palace and let me handle this matter."
"Okay."
The emperor nodded. He had just recovered and didn't want to worry about these things.
"emperor."
When Empress Song heard that the Crown Prince was going to take over, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged the Emperor, and her soft body gently rubbed against the Emperor's arm.
Jiang Zhaoying lying on the ground was dressed in snow-white, and the blood was very eye-catching, but did she see that Jiang Zhaoying was wearing green clothes when she entered the palace?
The bad feeling made Empress Song feel cold. This matter must not be handed over to the Crown Prince, otherwise she would be in trouble.
It was she who said that Jiang Zhaoying set the fire, and it was also she who said that Jiang Zhaoying escaped.
But.
At this moment, Jiang Zhaoying was covered in blood, extremely weak, and looked very pitiful.
How can we make this matter go away?
Bit her lip.
With her eyes rolled up, Empress Song fell to the ground.
The two palace maids, Rongyan and Yirong, screamed and rushed forward to hold Empress Song in their arms, tears streaming down their faces.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen has fainted."
"Take it to the west side hall."
Hearing that the emperor was worried about her and wanted to take her away, Empress Song was delighted. She pinched Rongyan, and Rongyan pushed her body into the emperor's arms, and the emperor naturally picked her up.
The group turned around and was about to leave.
The prince's eyes darkened.
However.
The emperor just turned around.
Jiang Zhaoying, who had fainted on the ground, actually opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She slowly turned her head and looked at Empress Song with gloomy eyes.
The emperor was startled by her ghostly appearance and naturally stopped.
"Miss."
Shu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and slowly helped her up. When his fingertips lightly touched the bloodstains on her clothes, he cried.
"Miss, how did you get so badly injured?"
Jiang Zhaoying's dark eyes moved, looked at Princess Le'an, and then pointed at her.
Le An was so scared that she stepped back and hid behind the prince. The prince frowned slightly, walked two steps to the side, and gave his seat to Princess Le An.
"It was her, it was them. Madam Song smashed the cup at my feet, and the princess took a thick stick to chop it. I couldn't bear the pain and was forced to kneel in the debris. The young master was still not satisfied, and while scolding me, he took a green whip and whipped me hard. She smiled very proudly and said that the whip could not tear my clothes, but it could make my skin burst."
Having said that.
The emperor and the others all knew what it was, and this whip was a reward from the emperor to Empress Song.
only.
What does this have to do with Le'an?
When the emperor looked over with cold eyes, Le An rushed out and pointed at Jiang Zhaoying angrily.
"You are talking nonsense. When did I ever touch you?"
Empress Song couldn't care less at the moment and hurriedly protected Le An behind her.
"Jiang Zhaoying, I ordered you to be beaten, but you deserved it. What's the point of you framing Le An?"
The injury is a fact, and a simple check will reveal that it is indeed a whip wound. Although the emperor dotes on her, he is not stupid.
"All of this was made up by Madam Song and Song Chengyu. Why didn't Your Majesty summon them to the palace and beat them?"
The emperor knew what she was talking about as soon as he heard it.
so.
It was Empress Song who summoned Jiang Zhaoying into the palace, and then held her accountable, leaving her covered in wounds.
and.
There were bloodstains on her knees, and there were indeed debris in the room. What Jiang Zhaoying said was probably true.
Stumble.
Jiang Zhaoying walked in front of the emperor, bent her knees and wanted to kneel down, but it was too painful. Her whole face turned pale. The emperor frowned.
"Just stand and talk. No need to kneel."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Zhaoying thanked him and then explained everything to everyone.
Then.
She walked up to Empress Song, looked at her, and tears fell from her eyes.
"It was the Song family who deceived my relatives, it was Song Chengyu who deceived me, and it was Shen Yuefu who was shameless. From the beginning to the end, I was the one who was framed and deceived. Why did Your Majesty not distinguish between right and wrong, and blame all the mistakes on this minister without knowing the truth?"
"You took all the palace servants away and made me kneel in the inner hall. You opened your mouth and threatened to burn me to death. If I hadn't been outside and noticed something was wrong and started shouting, I would probably be a corpse now."
Empress Song was forced to retreat continuously by Jiang Zhaoying. In a rage, she raised her hand and slapped Jiang Zhaoying in the face.
"It's because you can't take care of your husband and win the heart of your mother-in-law. If you were good enough, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened."
"How can a minister keep an eye on her husband? Like Miss Shen, who was hanging out with Song Chengyu before she got married, and got pregnant before she got married? I have always kept in mind the ancestral rules and abided by the rules. I dare not make any mistakes. May I ask, Your Majesty, is this wrong? If I am wrong, does that mean that the rules set by our ancestors are wrong, and the national laws are wrong?"
These words frightened Empress Song so much that she almost fainted. Why was she talking about the ancestors? What's the point of talking about national laws? How dare she, a concubine, say that the ancestor was wrong? Dare to say that the national law is wrong?
When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.
He felt annoyed whenever he heard the three words "Chen Yuefu". Teaching such a despicable thing was really... He looked at the prince coldly, and the prince saluted.
"Don't worry, Father. I will handle it all."
Then the prince glanced at Shen Liuguang, who stepped forward and bowed to Empress Song.
"Madam Song, from beginning to end, you have never denied that you were the one who set the fire and intended to burn the Crown Prince's wife to death."
