Chapter 295 Is there any law?
Once her heart was shaken, when Jiang Xinyue looked over again, she couldn't help but smile ingratiatingly.
In the eldest princess's residence, several little palace maids were peeking around. After seeing the crowd coming here, they jumped up and ran inside like little rabbits frightened by the big bad wolf.
"Eldest princess! Eldest princess...The Royal Concubine is here."
There was a commotion in the room. When Jiang Xinyue came in, several little palace maids nervously dropped the "fake blood bags" on the ground.
"Ah! Royal Concubine, please spare her life. Our princess did roll down from the attic. She really didn't lie."
It's just that they made preparations in advance, so there were no serious consequences.
Jiang Xinyue glanced over, and several palace maids who were blocking the princess' bed automatically made way for her.
The princess closed her eyes tightly and pretended to sleep on the bed.
Her forehead was wrapped in a white cloth with blood stains. Her eyeballs kept moving, and her eyelashes were like trembling butterfly wings, flapping non-stop.
Jiang Xinyue reached out and directly opened her disguise. The eldest princess felt a chill on her forehead. She cried out softly, quickly covered her smooth forehead, and called out pitifully: "Empress Zhen, I was wrong~"
The little girl stared at her with a pair of innocent big eyes, like the cleanest colored glass, without any stolen goods. No one would suspect that she rolled down from the attic to frame Cheng Jieyu.
But her tricks could not fool Jiang Xinyue, the "ancestor".
"Do you think you can fool your father like this?"
A head collapsed on the eldest princess's forehead. Jiang Xinyue threw the cloth and said, "Bring the candles and embroidery needles, and the animal blood you prepared just now."
In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Xinyue said, "What does it mean to play to the end? Learn it well."
After the emperor received the news at Jiuzhou Qingyan, he immediately sent Wang Dequan to check on the eldest princess's injuries.
He is now poisoned by a scorpion, and he doesn't know when it will break out. The imperial doctors are on standby at Jiuzhou Qingyan day and night, and he can't run around, in case the scorpion poison breaks out and the imperial doctors can't treat him in time.
"Hiss——"
"What...what happened?"
Wang Dequan saw the fingernail-sized wound on the eldest princess' forehead, which was still bleeding and had sunken a large area of skin. It looked very painful.
The eldest princess lay weakly on the bed, her lips white and dry: "Eunuch...Eunuch Wang, please don't tell my father that I was injured so badly. With Empress Zhen's care, I will recover soon. Tell my father not to worry about me, his own body is more important, and I also believe that Concubine Cheng didn't push me on purpose."
How comforted must the emperor be to hear these words?
Better than that Concubine Cheng...
The emperor summoned Mr. Cheng to Jiuzhou Qingyan for a meeting, but Concubine Cheng was also carried there on a stretcher.
When the Imperial Concubine came to the eldest princess to check on her, Concubine Cheng urged Master Cheng to bring her to the emperor.
If he hadn't seen it, it would have been fine. But if he had seen it but didn't ask, it would have made the emperor seem cold-hearted.
Although Concubine Cheng kept saying that it was her fault and had nothing to do with others, the emperor still wanted to ask Master Cheng about the corruption case of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Even for Master Cheng's sake, he had to ask a few words.
The emperor finally knew that the man was beaten by the Imperial Concubine.
Lord Cheng said on the spot: "The Imperial Concubine had her reasons for hitting you. You must have done something wrong, so the Empress taught you a lesson. But these thirty strokes of the cane would not have caused you to be beaten like this. It is true that the servants took advantage of the situation and deliberately killed Concubine Cheng." What
he meant was that the Imperial Concubine was right, but the servants under her were suspected of bullying their master, and the Emperor should punish them.
Concubine Cheng lay on the stretcher: "The imperial physician said that my tendons and veins were injured. Even if I recover in the future, my waist and back will be sore and weak every time it rains. Your Majesty... I have this disease, I..."
She started to cry as she spoke.
The emperor's dilemma was resolved after Wang Dequan came. He said with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, there is a cut on the eldest princess' forehead, and the surrounding flesh is rotten. Doctor Yan said that there may be a scar! The princess is disfigured, and her future marriage is probably... Concubine Yu has fainted after hearing this."
This princess, with beautiful appearance and gentle temperament, was disfigured. Emperor Xuanwu was furious.
You have disfigured my daughter, and you dare to complain first?
Is there any law?
Bah!
He is the law!
Lord Cheng's eyes turned cold and he looked at Concubine Cheng. Concubine Cheng shook her head in fear, indicating that she didn't know anything at all.
The situation changed, and Cheng Yuan knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, Concubine Cheng injured the eldest princess's precious body. I really did not teach my daughter well. Please issue an order to depose Concubine Cheng and send her to the cold palace. I... I ask Your Majesty to dismiss me from my position. It is my fault that I did not teach my daughter well. I am ungrateful for your kindness."
If he did not take the initiative, the emperor might really do so in anger, but he took the initiative to say this, and the emperor calmed down instead.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Dequan, send Concubine Cheng back to the Suyue Pavilion. Before Qi Cheng returns to the palace, Concubine Cheng will have to recuperate in her room and not go out again." He
turned around and said to Cheng Yuan, "Cheng Aiqing, please go back first! I am not in the mood today."
The emperor always finishes today's work today and never procrastinates. Seeing that the eldest princess was injured and disfigured, he was in a very bad mood.
Cheng Yuan did not dare to pull out his beard near the dragon's mouth, and quickly took Concubine Cheng out.
"Dad!"
In the residence of Concubine Cheng in Jueyue Pavilion, she supported her lower back and stood up. She did not act like she was about to die in front of the emperor. Instead, she smashed the vase on the table to the ground: "Why do you want the emperor to send me to the cold palace? The eldest princess was just pretending. She rolled downstairs by herself. She was just angry that I used the concubines to deal with the imperial concubine to deliberately retaliate against me. She..."
"You guys go down first."
Cheng Yuan winked: "Clean up this place, and don't let your master smash things in the future."
Whether in the palace or outside the palace, as long as it is a royal thing, it will be recorded.
Concubine Cheng smashed a vase when she came out of Jiuzhou Qingyan. Doesn't it show that she is dissatisfied with the emperor's decision?
"Dad!"
"Bang!"
After all the servants had left, Cheng Yuan turned around and slapped Cheng Jieyu hard. The fierceness in his eyes made Cheng Jieyu tremble.
"Dad... Dad..."
She was so scared that she couldn't say anything else except calling him dad.
"I have been hiding in Yizhuang for seven years, guarding corpses every day, living a poor life. I finally made it through and let the emperor see me. If you ruin my plan, I will kill you even if you are my daughter. Do you understand?"
Cheng Jieyu shed tears: "I... I know, dad."
Cheng Yuan took a deep breath, warned her again, and left.
