Chapter 50: Questioning in Zhiqing Hall (Part 1)
Su Yue and the others walked very quickly, and soon they were out of the palace and at the carriage they had come in, because the dosage of the medicine she had given was not strong.
Su Xin had calmed down by this time, but just now, some eunuch, either intentionally or unintentionally, slipped his hand when lifting her and her head hit the ground.
She fainted and hasn't woken up yet, so Su Yue took the unconscious Su Xin and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The carriage was running very fast, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
However, after Su Yue and the others left, those young ladies from official families began to talk even more unscrupulously.
The Queen listened to the various speculations made by Miss Guan, and even a lot of slanderous words from Miss Su. She looked at the livid Second Prince and asked with concern, "Is the Second Prince injured? Miss Su..."
Shangguan Nanfeng had just come to his senses, and he could only reply calmly, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I am fine. As for this matter, I will investigate it."
The queen heard what the second prince said, then looked at the young ladies of the official family who were still whispering to each other, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, the matter of the eldest lady of the Su family seems to be a little abnormal, so don't spread what happened today.
As for those servants and maids, if I find out that anyone of them speaks nonsense, I will cut off their tongues. "
The Queen's voice was majestic, carrying an aura that could not be refused. This was already a clear threat, so everyone knelt down hurriedly: "Your Highness understands."
The queen's face became more cheerful now, and she signaled the servants to put away the pens, inkstones, and paper:
"Stand up, since something like this happened today, let's cancel this poetry meeting. Let's go with me to enjoy the flowers. In this cold winter, I heard that the plum forest in Concubine Yu's courtyard is in full bloom. It's a special experience to enjoy the flowers with an umbrella in the drizzle."
When the Queen mentioned this, Concubine Yu could only force a smile and said, "Since the Queen is so interested, then I, your humble servant, would be honored to have you here."
Then the ladies shouted again: "Yes."
Just as the Queen was about to leave, she saw the Emperor's personal eunuch stumbling towards her.
As soon as he got here, before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly said, "Empress, it's bad. The Emperor fainted while reviewing memorials."
"What did you say?"
The queen's face changed after hearing this. Why did the emperor faint for no reason?
Shangguan Nanfeng was also startled, and the other two ladies asked nervously, "How is the emperor?"
The personal eunuch looked nervous, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "The imperial doctors are all treating him, but the details are still unclear."
Thinking about how the emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study in the morning, his face suddenly turned pale, and with a "pop" the memorials fell to the floor. When I looked again, the emperor was lying on the table unconscious.
Now she was lying in the Yangxin Palace. Several imperial doctors took turns to feel her pulse. He finally found a chance to come over and found the Empress.
"The Emperor suddenly fainted, and I am in no mood to appreciate the flowers. You can do as you please." There was a rare look of panic on the Queen's face, and she walked straight towards the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Concubine Yu and Concubine Hui looked at each other, and seeing the ambiguity in each other's eyes, they followed the queen.
You know, the emperor's health has not been very good, but fainting now is really not the right time. As far as she knows, the emperor seems to have not made up his mind who to choose for the position of crown prince.
The group of young ladies from official families were left behind, looking at each other, and finally they all went home. The Imperial Garden, which was bustling just now, was now quite deserted.
And at this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion is Zhiqingtang.
Prime Minister Su sat in the hall with a gloomy face. He was furious when he saw Su Xin still unconscious. Just now, the servants came hurriedly to report that after the two young ladies went to the palace, the eldest young lady fainted, and the second young lady also came back.
Afterwards, she told him what happened in the palace. Prime Minister Su was overwhelmed after hearing what she heard. How could Su Xin do such a disgraceful thing as taking off clothes in public? !
The old face of his Prime Minister's Mansion was completely lost. When he thought that those officials who were not on good terms with him would use this incident to laugh at his lax family traditions when he went to court tomorrow, Prime Minister Su was so angry that he wanted to slap this evildoer to death on the spot.
"Someone, come and pour some cold water on me!" Su Xin had committed such a terrible crime, he had to get to the bottom of it!
"Master, Xin'er is weak. If you pour cold water on her in the middle of winter, she will get sick!" When Aunt Liu heard that cold water was going to be poured on her, she was so scared that she immediately ran up to protect Su Xin. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the Prime Minister.
The prime minister was already furious, and when he saw Aunt Liu like this, he became even angrier.
'Snap! ' He smashed the teacup beside him with a loud bang, pointed at Aunt Liu and yelled, "It's all because of you who spoiled Su Xin. Look at what she did today. Pour the water over me. Aunt Liu is protecting me, so let's pour it over together!"
"Yes!" The servant had just brought a basin of cold water and was about to pour it down, but when he saw Aunt Liu blocking it, he hesitated, not knowing what to do. But when he heard the Prime Minister's words, he no longer hesitated and poured it down directly.
"Uh..." A heavy gasp was heard, and Su Xin was awakened by the cold water.
Su Yue was kneeling on the ground from beginning to end, with her head bowed very low and her long hair covering her face, so outsiders could not see her expression at all.
But just now Prime Minister Su dropped a cup, and Su Yue was startled and began to tremble. Judging from her constantly shaking body, the second young lady was probably also frightened.
"Su Xin, you did a great job today! Explain it to me!" As soon as Su Xin woke up, she saw the prime minister yelling at her with an angry face.
She was still confused, then she looked around and found Su Yue, Xiaoduo and Xiaohe kneeling beside her.
Seeing these faces, what happened during the day suddenly flooded into her mind. She took off her clothes in public and even wanted to take off the second prince's clothes.
Thinking of the ridicule of those young ladies from official families present, and Shangguan Nanfeng's murderous eyes, Su Xin fainted again before she could digest it.
"This..." When the servant saw this situation, he looked at the prime minister, not knowing what to do.
"Keep getting water and keep pouring it!" Prime Minister Su's face darkened. He had to get to the bottom of this matter!
When Su Xin heard that someone was going to pour cold water on her, she quickly pretended to wake up.
