Chapter 600 His Protection
"Empress Lang, even if you say that Concubine Lian was mocking you, that is not a reason for you to attack the head of a palace!"
The Queen Mother's expression darkened, and her already sharp eyes became even more dignified and sharp, and even her voice carried a hint of reproach.
"As a concubine, she actually imitated the behavior of those country women, not to mention that she even brought the palace maids to fight..."
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xue Sha who had been sitting in the corner watching the excitement. "You even brought such a small child to fight with you. Do you still act like an elder? You have completely thrown away the rules and dignity of the royal family!"
After the Queen Mother pointed it out, Helian Yue realized belatedly that there was a little kid in the hall.
When he turned his head to look, Xueshan didn't look much better than Linglong. The hair on his head was a mess and the small clothes on his body were wrinkled. The corners of his mouth twitched violently.
He knew Xue Sha's temper. Rather than saying that Si Linglong took her to fight, he believed that Xue Sha insisted on fighting on her own.
When he was kidnapped together with Li Sheng, he realized that although this fox was a lazy fox, he was never vague when fighting.
But Helian Yue knew that Xue Sha was not a simple child, but the Queen Mother did not know it, so Si Linglong's behavior of fighting with the child seemed even more unreasonable.
Xue Sha also heard what the Queen Mother said. He jumped up from his chair and ran to Si Linglong's side. He retorted in a baby voice, "Linglong didn't ask me to fight. I went there to help her. I know how to fight!"
If she hadn't taken the opportunity to bite away several palace maids who were trying to grab people, Linglong wouldn't have been able to concentrate on hunting the white lotus.
Xue Sha felt that his performance today was so good that he could have another chicken dinner.
But the Queen Mother obviously didn't think so. Instead, she felt deeply distressed.
"Look at you. What kind of example have you set for the younger generation? Forget about setting an example yourself. You haven't even done the basic education for this girl."
"Mother." Helian Yue couldn't help but speak up when he saw that the Queen Mother scolded him too harshly. He took the responsibility directly, "I am also responsible for Concubine Lang's attack."
Empress Dowager Sheng immediately glared at the emperor, but her expression was more of disbelief.
She couldn't believe that the emperor would take the blame on himself just to protect a concubine!
Helian Yue glanced at Bai Qianqian and revealed another shocking fact, "Not long ago, I ordered people to investigate the person behind Linglong's injection of the red flower, and found out that Concubine Lian had something to do with it."
When these words were spoken, not only the Queen Mother but also Bai Qianqian was stunned.
She's already in this state, and you still want to dump the burden on her? !
"Your Majesty?!" Bai Qianqian's voice was shrill, and she could no longer maintain her usual gentle and charming demeanor. She even couldn't believe it.
It would be fine if Si Linglong slandered her, but how could the emperor, as the emperor, do such a slanderous thing? !
What's more, she is his concubine!
Helian Yue ignored her. The clues found in this matter were true, but the person behind the clues was Helian Tuo.
Now in Helian Yue's eyes, what Helian Tuo did was not much different from what Bai Qianqian did. After all, the two had already made plans. Helian Yue did not touch her before because he considered the stability of the plot, but it did not mean that he did not want to touch her.
Now that Linglong has beaten someone, he can't beat her again, and it is even more impossible for him to ask her to bear the Queen Mother's reprimand and punishment unilaterally after knowing why Linglong beat someone. Now that there is no evidence to deal with Helian Tuo, it won't be wronged to ask Bai Qianqian to take the blame for her beloved prince.
"Since there is no evidence yet, I did not make it public. I just accidentally let it slip when I went to Yuxiu Palace today, which led to today's conflict."
If Linglong was just mocking Bai Qianqian for no reason, her behavior would be untenable. But if she knew that Bai Qianqian was the one who framed her and she mocked her in return, then what Linglong did was indeed for a reason, and that reason was because of him.
Helian Yue did this because he didn't want the Queen Mother to investigate further.
After all, based on his understanding of the Queen Mother, according to what she just said, the next step would be to demote Linglong.
Si Linglong has just been promoted to the position of imperial concubine for a few days. If she is demoted in the blink of an eye, how will she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?
Even if Linglong herself doesn't care about the position of concubine, Helian Yue is unwilling to let her stand up for him and suffer injustice.
Taking on all responsibilities for her is his way of protecting and taking responsibility for her.
