Chapter 112: Answering the wrong question
Qixiang Palace.
Just as Xiao Tangbao finished the bowl of golden bird's nest porridge, a little eunuch rushed in unexpectedly.
His face was pale, his hat was askew, and he stood at the door staring blankly at Concubine Xiao, as if he had been extremely frightened...
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here! He forbade anyone to inform us and has already killed several palace servants along the way!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tangbao suddenly opened his hand that was holding the earrings, slipped off Concubine Xiao's legs, and ran into the yard.
Looking around, she dived into the snowdrift.
…(⊙_⊙;)…
Everyone was stunned.
As everyone looked at each other, they saw the little princess shaking her head like a drowned puppy, shaking off the snow on her body, and then kneeling down.
My knees hurt just looking at it.
Concubine Xiao was stunned, wondering why this child had gone crazy. What was she going to do?
Without waiting for the people in the courtyard to react, Emperor Liang rushed in with a bloody long sword in his hand.
"Zhao Ning? Zhao Ning!?"
He walked all the way, looking for Xiao Tangbao, and he was extremely anxious.
Nanny Chen swallowed hard and stepped forward.
As soon as she bowed, before she could say anything, Emperor Liang swung his sword and chopped her down.
Emperor Liang was a tyrant. As long as the foundation of the country was not shaken and the country was not endangered, he never needed a reason to kill people, and he didn't mind doing it himself when he was angry.
Concubine Xiao was standing at the door. When she saw this scene, her face turned pale instantly. Her calves went weak and her knees fell heavily to the ground.
"Ma, Ma..."
She managed to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth, like a delirium, crawled a few steps on her knees, and crawled to Nanny Chen with a look of panic on her face.
Looking at the blood gushing out of Nanny Chen's neck, Concubine Xiao subconsciously reached out to cover it. Her beautiful face was instantly filled with tears, and she was horrified to the extreme.
"Mammy, I'm going to get the doctor right away. Wait for me, please wait for me!"
Nanny Chen used up her last bit of strength, grabbed her sleeve, widened her eyes, and shook her head almost imperceptibly.
Well……
Don't, don't go! My Lady, don't go!
Don’t anger the emperor for the sake of being an old slave!
Nanny Chen made a dry "squeak" sound in her throat, her eyes gradually lost focus, her head tilted, and she stopped breathing immediately.
Ma, Ma?
“Mammy—!!”
A shrill wail suddenly rang out, shaking everyone's hearts and scaring the wild birds in the trees so much that they flapped their wings and flew away.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiao turned around abruptly, looked up at Emperor Liang, tears streaming down her face.
Although the Sacred Heart was unpredictable, she followed her own heart for the first time and cried out in a mournful voice: "You know, she is my wet nurse. She has been with me since I was young..."
Emperor Liang:-`(▼DRAN▼)`
He suddenly put the knife to Concubine Xiao's neck. Concubine Xiao was so frightened that she shuddered violently, and a bloody wound appeared on her neck. She immediately fell silent.
Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, glared coldly at the woman at his feet, and said with almost gritted teeth:
"If you say another word of nonsense, I'll kill you too!"
"Don't think I don't know. It was this old woman who gave you bad advice, asking you to secretly give me that... vile, poisonous drug!"
"Xiao, there are some things I can let go of, but that girl is related to the fate of our Daliang nation... I ask you again, where is the Zhaoning person?"
Concubine Xiao turned pale and her heart instantly turned cold.
"Uncle, granduncle, stay in here!" Little Tangbao covered his eyes with his hands and spoke timidly.
Emperor Liang turned around suddenly and saw the little girl kneeling in the snow, shivering with cold.
He quickly threw the knife to the ground, took a step forward, picked up the little guy and went into the house.
Feeling the warmth, Xiao Tangbao slowly loosened his hands and looked at Emperor Liang with his wet round eyes blinking.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Emperor Liang suddenly asked the little one in his arms: "Tell me, why are you in Qixiang Palace?"
Tang Bao: "..."
Why didn't the emperor ask her why she was kneeling in the snow? Hate it... Tang Bao already thought of what to say!
Little Tangbao's eyes were evasive, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he refused to speak.
Emperor Liang frowned: "Tell the truth! I will take care of it for you!" He wanted to see who was so bold as to endanger the country of Daliang and make him worry all night long?
He must make sure he dies a miserable death!
After a few breaths, little Tang Bao blinked his tear-filled eyes, wiped his face and said, "Tang Bao didn't kneel outside at first. The Imperial Concubine took Tang Bao for a walk in the courtyard."
"Afterwards, when we entered the room, the Imperial Concubine said that being hot and cold could make you sick... but she used two charcoal stoves herself and let Tang Bao blow cold air at the door."
Xiao Tangbao's two irrelevant answers immediately made Concubine Xiao and the other palace maids change their expressions.
Concubine Xiao, who was already extremely horrified, said without hesitation, "It wasn't me, it was Nanny Chen's idea!"
Hearing her admit it so readily, Xiao Tangbao almost couldn't hold back his expression.
The little hand almost covered his mouth.
It saves me a mantra talisman, that’s great!
The little fellow squeezed out two tears and said pitifully:
"Tang Bao was so hungry and thirsty, so he wanted to ask the Imperial Concubine for some hot water. But the Imperial Concubine scolded him for being rude, saying that she was the elder and the elders hadn't even had their meals or tea yet..."
"Later, the Imperial Concubine asked Tang Bao to reflect on himself. Tang Bao was ambitious, so she sent him out to kneel."
???
Σ(°o°|||)︴Concubine Xiao was wrongly killed!
She wanted to starve the little bitch, and she really wanted to let her suffer the cold, but when did she ask her to reflect on herself?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is very perceptive. The empty bowl on the table was once filled with bird's nest porridge. I didn't eat a single bite. Princess Zhaoning ate it all!"
Emperor Liang lowered his eyes and saw clearly that the bottom of Concubine Xiao's fox fur cloak had traces of being blackened by the stove.
Looking at the empty bowl on the table, he immediately saw the lip balm on the rim of the bowl. The color was exactly the same as that on Concubine Xiao's lips!
Concubine Xiao raised her hand to wipe her tears, knelt down to the emperor's feet, and spoke in a voice as loud as iron hitting a knife: "Your Majesty, I swear, I did not starve the little princess, nor did I act like an elder, Your Majesty!"
"You're still trying to quibble?!" Emperor Liang coldly smashed the empty bowl to the ground. "Could it be that the lip balm on it is from Zhaoning?"
"Elder? Do you think you're worthy?! Deceiving the emperor is a capital crime. You'd better think it over carefully before you speak!"
Concubine Xiao: “?!”
What do you mean she doesn't deserve it?
Didn’t the emperor promise her that he would make her the queen?
The flying porcelain fragments left a blood mark on Concubine Xiao's face.
Concubine Xiao suppressed her shock and didn't say a word. As her eyes moved, she saw the piece of porcelain stained with lip balm. She opened her mouth but said nothing.
Faced with the "evidence", she was speechless and had no way to defend herself!
Tang Bao: "..."
He always plots to frame others... It must be unpleasant to be wrongly accused, right?
The little girl didn't feel guilty at all. If she hadn't been so smart, she would have been starving and freezing!
Xiao Tangbao, who had finally vented his anger, could no longer hold on. His head tilted and his body fell backward uncontrollably...
"She's pretending! She must be pretending!" Concubine Xiao was also extremely angry. She said angrily: "Your Majesty, if Princess Zhaoning hadn't pretended to faint, I would slap her face fifty times without any complaints!"
