"presumptuous!"
That Princess Hui blushed, pointed at Li Yi and said, "Little county magistrate, right and wrong are black and white, how can you allow you to distort it arbitrarily, this matter should be reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty will decide!"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is ill and has already gone back to rest. The Secret Service can take care of such trivial matters, so I won't bother Your Majesty."
Princess Hui snorted coldly, and said: "Then let him be temporarily detained and wait for His Majesty's decision!"
Concubine Cui Gui glanced at Princess Hui with a thoughtful expression.
"Your Majesty is here, the empress is here!"
At this moment, a eunuch's high-pitched and thin voice came from outside the door.
"See Your Majesty, see Your Majesty..." The voices of a group of women saluting suddenly sounded in the hall, the voices were clear and melodious.
Emperor Jing walked in slowly from the door, the empress followed him, and His Royal Highness the eldest princess on the other side. When he entered the hall, he was slightly startled when he saw Li Yi and Li Xuan, and asked, "You two Why are you here?"
Then I saw the guards in the hall and asked again: "What happened here?"
The leader of the imperial guard immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, just now..."
The queen empress on the side walked aside, talking to the concubine Shizi, Li Mingzhu walked over, looked at Li Yi, and asked in a low voice: "You messed with it again?"
Li Yi glanced at her, do you look like a troublemaker? It's always trouble troubles him, okay
After listening to the words of the leader of the imperial guards, Emperor Jing's face darkened slightly.
He looked back at Changde, who shook his head and said, "Impossible."
Grandmaster master, how could he be bumped by the maid, and the things in his sleeves would fall out, even if they did fall out, they could be taken back when the other party couldn't react, you don't even need to think about it , the problem lies with the maid.
In the eyes of all the women in the palace, His Majesty is the most impartial and selfless, no matter whether Mrs. Li County Bo's wife really committed the theft, or the court lady framed her, everything will come to light after the impartial and selfless Majesty comes forward.
Under their gazes, His Majesty the impartial walked up to the maid and asked indifferently, "Who instructed you?"
…
The expression on Concubine Hui's face froze, Concubine Cui Gui glanced at Emperor Jing, and expressions of disbelief appeared on the faces of all the other women.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The maid was trembling all over, even speaking.
"Let me ask you again, who ordered you?"
The maid's face was ashen, and her whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Drag out, and ask again with a staff of fifty." Emperor Jing said lightly, the leader of the imperial guards took the order, and the two guards carried the maid out. Not long after, there was a miserable cry from outside.
"Your Majesty, this..." Concubine Cui walked out, pointed outside, and hesitated to speak.
"I know what I know." Emperor Jing said, cast a glance at Li Yi and Li Xuan, and said, "What are you two still doing here? Do you want me to ask someone to add two seats for you?"
Before Li Yi had time to say a word to Ruyi, he and Li Xuan were kicked out by the old emperor.
He also wanted to see what his concubines looked like, but in the end, he only saw Concubine Cui. Although she still had a charming charm, her mind was extremely vicious. This time, it was most likely her instigation.
Concubine Cui, right? The Cui family, right? It just so happens that his hands are itchy these days. There is still half a month before he enrolls in the School of Mathematical Sciences. He has plenty of time...
Inside the palace, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess surrounded many women. Ruyi was talking with the Third Miss of the Chen family, and the Empress Empress held the hand of the First Concubine. She was blushing about some topic, and Concubine Cui was sitting next to Emperor Jing. , leaning forward and said: "It's all bad for the concubine, almost messing up my sister's banquet."
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "In the future, the servants around you should take good care of them. Some people are getting bolder."
Another concubine next to him nodded and said: "The servants in the concubine's palace should take good care of them. Recently, many Ye Mingzhu rewarded by His Majesty have been lost, and jewelry has also been lost for no reason..."
"The servants around the concubine have clean hands and feet." Concubine Yan smiled, only her palace had never lost anything, and that girl in Shouning always gave her some night pearls or other jewelry. When I grow up, I know how to respect my mother and concubine...
But a daughter is a daughter after all, not as good as Concubine Chen who gave birth to a good son. King Jin is a young and intelligent man. It is said that Li Xianbo asked His Majesty to let King Jin go to the math academy. Li Xianbo, who is highly respected, intends to support the king of Jin as emperor...
Of course, these things have nothing to do with her. In a few years, her daughter can have a good home, which is what she wants to care about.
Not long after, the chief of the imperial guards came in from outside the hall and said, "Your Majesty, she has recruited."
The maid recruited very quickly. If there was no special kindness other than the word "stick punishment", then this stick punishment is a standard stick punishment.
Fifty sticks are enough to beat a grown man half to death. As for those who are a little weaker in stature, they may not even be able to save their lives.
"When she hit the tenth stick, she couldn't help but move." The head of the imperial guard said, "She admitted that she was greedy for the bracelet of the imperial concubine, and originally planned to find a place to hide it outside the palace. , but accidentally bumped into Mrs. Li, and simply put all the matter on Mrs. Li... "
"This lowly maid..." Concubine Cui waved her hand with annoyed look on her face, and said, "How dare you do such a bold thing, come here, drag her away and kill her with a stick!"
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, it is not appropriate to kill people, and the punishment is one hundred. If there is still life, I will be expelled from the palace!"
"Subordinates obey!"
After the leader of the guards responded, he walked out quickly.
Your Majesty said, today is the Lantern Festival, and it is not appropriate to kill people, so you can't really kill him with the stick, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the crime of living is inevitable, stealing the treasures of the imperial concubine, and framing the wife of the county count. I'm afraid that most of my life will be lost, and the rest of my life can only be spent in bed.
"This lowly servant girl is so courageous!"
"I was almost deceived by her just now."
"Yeah, Mrs. Li looks such a nice person, if you think about it, you won't do such a thing."
…
…
The girls couldn't help sighing in their hearts, His Majesty is indeed wise, just by taking a look, he knew that it was the maid who framed him, and that Li Xianbo, who was in the limelight, won more than just the holy family, after all, if he pursued it seriously, He was disrespectful to the noble concubine just now, defended Mrs. Li's behavior, and he was not a minister.
However, how dare a small maid do such a bold thing, and she is Cui Guifei's personal maid, it is not known whether there is any secret behind this matter.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is not feeling well, so she stepped back first." Cui Guifei stretched out her hand to support her forehead, and there was a trace of tiredness in her voice.
Emperor Jing looked at her and said, "Do you want to send the imperial doctor over?"
"No need, the concubine just feels a little tired, just rest for a while." Concubine Cui shook her head slightly and said.
Emperor Jing nodded, and Concubine Cui walked out of the hall followed by two maids.
She stepped out of the palace gate, and Princess Hui, who had a strong expression of unwillingness on her face, followed her out.
There are many palaces in Furong Garden, such as empress, concubine, concubine Yan and other important concubines, all have their own sleeping palaces, and at this time, in a certain palace, Concubine Cui stood with her body behind her back, with a cold expression on her face , I can't see the meaning of sleepiness.
Princess Hui walked in from the outside, and said in a slightly angry voice: "Then what is Li Yi's background, worthy of His Majesty's favoritism, and he clearly didn't investigate strictly, Qin'er can't say that he was beaten into a trick..."
Snapped!
Suddenly there was a loud slap in the hall, Princess Hui covered her burning face, her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Sister, you..."
"Who told you to make up your own mind!" Concubine Cui said coldly, looking at her with phoenix eyes.
