Chapter 162 Love Brain Emperor
He deserves it! He is
a scoundrel who thinks he can soar to the sky by clinging to the Empress.
No!
It should be said that Concubine Liang thought Yang Er was hers and wanted to cling to the Empress, but she didn't know that Yang Er's real master was someone else.
He was the real master who placed the witch in Hexi Palace.
She just wanted to use Concubine Liang and the Empress to get rid of Jiang Xinyue, so she asked Yang Er to report it. Killing
three birds with one stone, it's really a good plan.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xinyue had already dealt with it.
Nanny Li had a sullen face and was very unhappy that Concubine Liang had just pushed down Xi Que in front of her, and then took the opportunity to push down Concubine Zhen in the chaos.
She picked up the witch figurine and placed it next to Emperor Xuanwu, which invisibly made the emperor's anger soar.
After doing all this seemingly unintentionally, Li Ma stood beside Jiang Xinyue and supported her: "Empress, if I guess correctly, this box was searched out from the dressing table in the side hall, right?"
Empress Zhu remembered to come to find trouble with Jiang Xinyue at that time, so how could she know where the "evidence" was searched out?
A guard knelt on the ground with a plop: "Yes... We found it on the dressing table in the side hall."
Nanny Li turned to Emperor Xuanwu and said: "Your Majesty, this box was found by Nanny Xiang and I under Concubine Zhen's bed this morning. Because of the last snake incident, Nanny Xiang and I have been very strict about the safety of the bedroom. Last time, the guards only searched under the bed. This time, Nanny Xiang and I wanted to take out the bedding and bed boards to dry them under Concubine Zhen's bed while the sun was shining. This was found tied to the nanmu bed board on the back of the bed. "
She glanced at the Empress and said, "After I showed it to Concubine Zhen, she was scared and didn't know what to do. I wanted to send the things to Chengqian Palace, but Concubine Zhen said that the Emperor had been very busy recently and didn't want to bother him with such things, so she ordered me to send it to the Empress. Before I could go, the Empress came to the door with Concubine Liang. "
That's why Jiang Xinyue laughed.
She looked at Concubine Liang and Queen Zhu jumping up and down, probably thinking they were making a fool of them!
Was she doing it on purpose?
"Did you hear me?"
Emperor Xuanwu's chest rose and fell violently: "Zhenpin always respects you, the Empress, in everything. She even gave you the clothes I gave her for the New Year's banquet. What else are you dissatisfied with? I think you are just looking for trouble. Now... How did this witch come about? Empress, you must thoroughly investigate it for me. If you can't find out, you don't have to be the Empress anymore."
Aren't you the master of the harem?
Isn't it the emperor's turn to intervene in the affairs of the harem? Didn't Empress Zhu say that she is the master of the harem and has the right to manage the harem?
Then let her investigate. If
she can't find out, it means she is incompetent. How can an incompetent person be the master of the harem?
Empress Zhu felt dizzy. The slap she had just received from the Emperor was made even more painful by his words.
After Emperor Xuanwu slapped Empress Zhu in the face, he did not forget Concubine Liang. His cold eyes became even colder: "Concubine Liang, you have repeatedly instigated others to cause trouble for Concubine Zhen. This is extremely abominable. Come, Concubine Liang has violated the palace rules. Take her away and give her thirty slaps on the face. She will be fined for one year's salary. Then send a nanny from Chuxiu Palace to Shun'an Palace to teach Concubine Liang how to learn the rules again."
This was a great humiliation. It was even more humiliating than demoting Concubine Liang's position.
She was actually asked to learn the rules again!
She had been in the palace for more than ten years, and was considered an old lady in the palace. She was one of the four concubines, Liang Fei.
She had always been the one who taught others the rules. One day, the emperor even asked the nanny who taught the concubines in Chuxiu Palace to teach her the rules of the palace!
Thirty slaps on the face...
Thirty slaps on the face, her face would probably be disfigured.
Appearance is of vital importance to a concubine. Without appearance, it is like a bird with broken wings, unable to fly.
"Your Majesty!"
Concubine Liang shouted, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. It was all Yang'er's fault... It was that bitch Yang'er who told me that Concubine Zhen was practicing witchcraft. I was just concerned about Your Majesty, and was used by someone with ulterior motives. Please forgive me for my deep love for you!"
Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and had Concubine Liang dragged out for execution.
The sound of "pa pa" and Concubine Liang's screams filled the entire Hexi Palace.
The timid ones began to tremble.
What did the Empress call them for?
To see Concubine Zhen being scolded by the Emperor and to see her miserable end?
They couldn't have come to see the Empress and Concubine Liang being beaten by the Emperor, to see how the Emperor protected Concubine Zhen, and to make them realize once again that Concubine Zhen was someone who could not be touched?
Yang'er, a slovenly maid in Hexi Palace, was not spared either. She was taken away by the people from the Suspense Department and tortured to find out who the real master behind the scenes was.
That person originally wanted to use the Empress and Concubine Liang to overthrow Jiang Xinyue, and make the Emperor dislike these two people. Who knew that Jiang Xinyue would use her instead, and seized the opportunity to make them lose their favor in one fell swoop. As long as the person behind the scenes was caught, Concubine Zhen would be killed with one stone.
After the emperor drove away all the people in the room, he comforted the "frightened" Jiang Xinyue: "Don't worry if this happens again in the future. I only trust you. You have to be fine and don't get emotional. Didn't Doctor Yan say that? Emotional instability will definitely lead to the risk of premature birth. I just asked the queen to check it, but it was just to vent your anger. I will investigate this matter thoroughly in private and will definitely find out the person behind the scenes. I will never let this happen again."
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Your Majesty trusts me, and I will never forget my original intention and do nothing to embarrass your Majesty."
Emperor Xuanwu smiled and felt that his Concubine Zhen was really sensible and well-behaved when she was talking about reason. She was
also very cute when she was not talking about reason.
Even when she was angry, he had no other way except to coax her.
He couldn't get angry with her.
Rubbing Jiang Xinyue's head, the emperor kissed her forehead: "Listen to Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang. I'll go take care of official business first and come to have dinner with you in the evening."
Jiang Xinyue nodded obediently: "Your Highness, I respectfully see you off."
It was still early, and the empress came and left in a hurry.
It seems like a lot of things happened, but in fact, it didn't take Jiang Xinyue too much time to solve them.
This was mainly because Emperor Xuanwu had developed a love brain under her constant brainwashing and PUA. He couldn't accept anyone who said she was bad.
"Let's go!"
"Where are you going, Queen?"
"Of course, we're going to see our Queen! After all, she was beaten for me. I'm kind-hearted and always feel bad. At least I want to let her know why she was beaten today? Who is the real person who made her get beaten?"
The emperor asked her to find the real culprit behind the witch, otherwise he would abolish her as the queen.
Jiang Xinyue came to her house at this time to help her in her time of need.
