Chapter 317 Acknowledgement
Concubine Ye would definitely not explain to Empress Xu, and Empress Xu did not expect Concubine Ye to explain. She asked this question to give Chen Tang a chance to defend herself.
Chen Tang said, "Princess Qi's family's home, an assassin broke into the Shen Mansion yesterday, cut off Mrs. Shen's hair with a sword, and broke Mr. Shen's leg. Because of the accident of my second brother, Princess Qi believed that I was deliberately taking revenge, and asked me to go to the Qi Mansion. I didn't go, so she came to the Jingyang Mansion to find me and ask for punishment..."
Before Shen Tang finished speaking, a maid came over and said, "You're lying!"
That maid was Chen Xi's personal maid.
When I went to Prince Jingyang's Palace today, he was there to serve me.
The maid stepped forward and knelt down in front of the emperor. "The reason why Princess Qi went to find the Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang was not because of Master Shen and Madam Shen, but because the old lady of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion fell ill. Princess Qi went to visit her, but was stopped by the people of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, saying that the Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang would not let her in. They also threatened Princess Qi that if she entered Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, she would bear the consequences. Princess Qi was so angry that she had no choice but to find the Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang. The Crown Prince's Consort of Jingyang refused to go to Qi's Mansion, so Princess Qi had to go to Jingyang Mansion to find her!"
After the maid finished her complaint, Concubine Ye glanced at Chen Tang sharply, "Is this true?!"
The emperor also looked over.
Chen Tang said, "It was indeed me who did not allow Princess Qi to visit her grandmother in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion."
Just admit it!
Concubine Ye looked at Empress Xu and said coldly, "The Queen said that I am overbearing. Isn't the behavior of the Princess of Jingyang overbearing? The Princess of Qi wanted to visit her seriously ill grandmother, but she stopped her and threatened her!"
Queen Xu said, "I don't believe that the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingyang would do such a thing for no reason."
Chen Tang said, "Second Master Shen almost killed his father for the sake of the title and was expelled from the Marquisate. Grandmother always blamed herself for not raising her son properly, and became sick with worry. She couldn't bear the blow of the second brother's accident and became bedridden. Her condition was so serious that she couldn't even take medicine and vomited blood.
I don't want my grandmother to worry about the affairs of the second house. I'm afraid that when my grandmother sees Princess Qi, she will think of my second brother who was almost killed by evil before he was born. I'm even more afraid that Princess Qi's visit is fake, and she is really going to complain to my grandmother! ”
At the end of her speech, Chen Tang's voice was filled with anger. She looked directly at Concubine Ye, "Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion has already expelled the entire Second Branch from the family. Princess Qi has nothing to do with our Marquis Pingyuan Mansion. My grandmother is seriously ill, and the Marquis Mansion just wants her to rest and recuperate. Why not refuse people to visit her?"
"Just because she is the Princess of Qi, we can't stop her?"
What a sharp mouth!
Concubine Ye's eyes flashed coldly, "Are you trying to stop me? You are threatening Princess Qi!"
Chen Tang straightened her back, "She was put on my father's lap since she was young, and became my twin sister. I know Princess Qi better than Concubine Ye. If the servants of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion persuade her kindly, Princess Qi will leave. I don't need to leave threatening words and let the servants of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion convey them on my behalf."
What he said was well-reasoned and it made Concubine Ye so angry that she took in more air than she exhaled.
Empress Xu was so angry that she almost died. She even said, "The relationship between Prince Consort of Jingyang and Princess Consort of Qi was very good. She even stabbed herself for Princess Consort Qi and refused to get on the bridal sedan of Prince Jingyang's mansion. If it weren't for the evil deeds of the Second Branch of the Shen Family, the sisters wouldn't have turned against each other like enemies."
"The relationship between the Crown Princess of Jingyang and the Princess of Qi is special. Concubine Ye has been using her status as the Crown Princess to put pressure on the Crown Princess of Jingyang. This may not be too much of a bully."
The Princess of Qi was so angry that she had a miscarriage and fainted outside the Prince of Jingyang's Palace. In the end, she took advantage of her power to bully others.
Concubine Ye was the most favored concubine in the harem. She had never been treated like this before. She looked at the emperor and said, "The Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingyang is filial, but the Princess of Prince Qi is not? If she wasn't filial, she wouldn't be pregnant and go to the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion to visit Old Madam Shen!"
"The one who made the mistake was the second branch of the Shen family, and they were also expelled from the family. Isn't this punishment enough? Just because of the Crown Prince's wife's speculation and worry, the Princess of Qi was rejected. What's more, the person who hurt the second master Shen and the second wife Shen, the Crown Prince's wife of King Jingyang is the most suspicious!"
"It is an indisputable fact that the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Jingyang was so angry that the Princess of Qi fainted due to miscarriage. Please punish her severely, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Concubine Ye finished speaking, Xie Guimo said, "I don't agree with what you said, aunt. Isn't this asking my wife to take the blame for others?"
I've been here for quite some time, but I'm only now speaking.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.
Xie Guimo said calmly, "Second Master Shen's legs were broken, and Second Madam Shen's hair was cut off. Which of these is more infuriating than my wife preventing Princess Qi from entering Marquis Pingyuan's mansion? The one who made Princess Qi lose her pregnancy was the one who broke into the Shen's mansion, not my wife. If my aunt wants to settle the score, she has found the wrong person."
Concubine Ye said coldly, "Isn't this the work of the Crown Prince's Concubine?!"
Xie Guimo smiled, "My wife and father-in-law are too soft-hearted. They were almost killed. They have solid evidence in their hands. They just expelled the second wife from the family. They wanted to send her to jail and exile her to the border. How could they have nothing to prove today? The second wife is in trouble and they suspect my wife is responsible. If my wife really wants to find trouble with the second wife, she can just send the evidence to the Dali Temple. Aunt should not suspect my wife when she suspects anyone else."
Shouldn't I doubt her? !
It was obviously her who did it!
I just know it's useless. Without evidence, I can't do anything to Chen Tang.
Concubine Ye knew that she couldn't do anything to Chen Tang today, but she was unwilling to give up. She was so angry that her nails on her sleeves were almost broken.
The emperor said, "Okay, let's end this matter here. Let Princess Qi rest assured and take care of her baby."
Concubine Ye gritted her teeth and said, "I'll remember this."
The emperor waved his hand and sent the man away.
Chen Tang and Xie Guimo took their leave.
As he stepped out of the imperial study, Xie Guimo whispered something in Shen Tang's ear. Before Shen Tang could react, Concubine Ye's voice came, "Mo'er just indulges the Crown Prince's Concubine to contradict her aunt?"
If it weren't for the princess, Xie Guimo wouldn't have spoken until the very end. Concubine Ye was not satisfied and blamed Xie Guimo for not stopping her. Chen Tang just felt disgusted.
Xie Guimo said, "Aunt, you are joking. Tang'er has always respected you."
Respectful?
She was almost pissed off to death, but she still respected him.
Xie Guimo said, "My wife is not feeling well, and the emperor has summoned me to the palace, so I will take her back first..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Tang grabbed his arm, "Husband, I feel dizzy..."
Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
"Tang'er!"
Xie Guimo called out urgently.
When Empress Xu came out and saw this scene, she was also shocked, "Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!"
Xie Guimo picked up Chen Tang and carried him back to the imperial study. The emperor saw him and asked, "What happened?"
Xie Guimo said, "My wife has been unable to eat or sleep these past few days. The Princess of Qi went to my Jingyang Palace to see her and fainted at the door. She was already worried and frightened, and then the Emperor summoned her to the palace. She was frightened again and again and couldn't hold on any longer..."
