Chapter 44
"Thank you, Concubine. It's better to make this matter clear, otherwise it will be bad for my reputation!" Tang Mitang walked out firmly. If she didn't make it clear today, the Concubine's silence would mean that she thought she was having an affair with the monk!
Within three days, most people in the capital would know that she was in love with the monk. She would not bear such a false accusation.
Unfortunately, Tang Mitang didn't want to take the responsibility, but few people wanted to hear her explanation.
The concubine smiled hypocritically and said, "Then tell me about it~"
"I was walking just now when someone pushed me and I fell onto the monk. When I fell, I pulled the person who pushed me..."
"Okay, okay~ It was all my fault just now. I accidentally pushed Sister Tang Mi. I hope everyone will blame this on me and stop blaming Sister Tang Mi~"
As Gena spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, making her look like a tearful woman.
"You!" Tang Mitang glared at Gena angrily. How could this Camellia be so shameless! Believe it or not, she could poison her to death!
"Okay! Tang Mitang, it takes two to tango. We have kept this a secret for you. Just don't bully Princess Gena who has come from afar!" After the concubine said this, she pinched her finger joints with disdain. When she raised her eyes and glanced at the person standing over there, her fingers trembled.
"Yes~ Miss Tang Mi, we all pretended not to know..."
"Don't worry, they're all girls, so it won't damage your reputation~"
The other ladies were still trying to persuade Tang Mitang in the middle, and they didn't notice the inverted crescent-shaped white figure approaching.
Tang Mitang closed her eyes in anger. Why didn't he listen to her? He just simply believed in Gena!
"Tiffany, I really want to know if a single slap makes a loud noise~"
A cold voice came from outside, and everyone looked over and saluted quickly.
The only two people standing were Tai Toffee and the stunned Tang Mitang.
Why is Zhou Xuanqing here?
The thought flashed through the minds of both of them at the same time, but their feelings were very different.
One is happy and the other is sad. The happy thing is Tangmi Candy, and the sad thing is Toffee.
"Everyone, get up. What are so many people doing surrounding a monk?" Zhou Xuanqing glanced at Tang Mitang in the middle, asked them to stand up, and asked casually.
"Your Majesty, just now Miss Tangmi and Princess Gena fell together and landed on a monk." Mrs. Lu said concisely and then stepped aside.
After listening, Zhou Xuan took a few steps forward, held Tang Mitang's hand, looked her up and down, and said, "Let me see where you're hurt from the fall."
Zhou Xuanqing pulled her arm unscrupulously, and when he saw the darkening area at her knee, a layer of shadow covered his amber eyes, and he looked at Tang Mitang with great displeasure.
"You! Does it hurt? Tell me what happened?" Zhou Xuanqing asked softly.
Tang Mitang was surrounded by Zhou Xuanqing's concern and felt extremely wronged. She glanced at the surprised concubine and others and cried out loudly, "Wu~ Your Majesty, they only listen to what Princess Gena said, saying that she was harassing that monk..."
"Your Majesty, this is not the case..." Gena spoke quickly when she heard Tang Mitang complaining.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here. I only listen to Tang Mitang." Zhou Xuanqing glanced at her coldly and scolded her. She actually took advantage of her absence to bully Tang Mitang.
Tang Mitang pouted in grievance and glanced at Gena resentfully. The look in her eyes and expression were exactly the same as Gena's.
"Your Majesty, it was Gena who pushed me, and then I subconsciously grabbed the person who pushed me and fell down together, but I fell on the monk. Before I could react, Gena said that I wanted to fall on the monk on purpose!" Tang Mitang said, looking at Gena.
"It's because I fell in love with a monk, and the Queen Mother and all the ladies said they were willing to keep it a secret. But I didn't do anything. I feel so wronged." Tang Mitang said, grabbing Zhou Xuanqing's sleeve and wiping her tears. Holding the empress's thigh, let's see who dares to say anything about her!
Zhou Xuanqing nodded, raised his hand and touched Tang Mitang's head, patting it comfortingly.
Then he turned to look at Ge Na and said coldly: "Gena's mouth is really clever! Right and wrong all depend on her mouth! One slap can't make a sound, but Ge Na's slap is quite good! Just by chance, let the concubine listen to whether it makes a sound or not, Chang Xi, slap her mouth!"
"Yes." Chang Xi responded and rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.
Looking at Chang Xi's smiling face, Ge Na took a step back in fear and said quickly, "Your Majesty, you can't confuse right with wrong! Tang Mi is...ah!"
Chang Xi slapped her without hesitation, and her face immediately became red and swollen. Chang Xi turned around and smiled at Zhou Xuanqing, saying, "Your Majesty, a slap is quite loud. If I were to use more force, it could be even louder."
After listening, Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but was about to speak when he was stopped by Tang Mitang.
Tang Mitang saw her expression and quickly held her hand. She was afraid that Zhou Xuanqing would kill Gena. Didn’t she see that the concubine’s face turned green?
Zhou Xuanqing smiled at her, looked at the concubine and said, "Did you hear clearly, concubine?"
The concubine pulled the corner of her mouth, and said with a stiff smile: "I heard it clearly. The emperor really broadened my horizons."
"It's good that you heard it clearly. I thought the Concubine was old and her hearing was not good, so she only heard the noise. Chang Xi, beat Princess Gena evenly, and don't bully the little girl."
After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, Chang Xi waved his hand on the other half of Gena's face again.
There was a loud and crisp sound of "Pa", which seemed to hit many people. The environment suddenly became depressing, and no one dared to look up at Zhou Xuanqing.
"What's going on?" Zhou Erlan's voice came, breaking the atmosphere.
Zhou Xuanqing turned around when he heard the voice and saw Zhou Erlan coming over with a group of people. He pulled his hand out of Tang Mitang's hand and hooked his finger at him.
Tang Mitang felt empty inside, bit her lip, and lowered her head slightly. Even though Zhou Xuanqing treated her well, in her heart, Zhou Erlan would always come first.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhou Erlan saluted with his fists and walked towards Zhou Xuanqing with a smile.
Zhou Qiuyu followed him closely and stood beside Zhou Xuanqing.
The concubine standing opposite Zhou Xuanqing saw that her son also followed Zhou Xuanqing, and her already stiff face instantly fell.
Her disappointing son!
"What happened to the imperial sister?" Zhou Erlan asked with a smile.
"I came to see my father, the emperor, and my mother, but I heard that the imperial concubine brought noble ladies from the capital to the temple, so I came to take a look. Have you met Yu'er?" Zhou Xuanqing looked at him and said.
