Sun Ronghua, who was brought in, was no longer as dazzling as she used to be. Although her clothes were all neat and tidy, everyone present could still feel an aura of gray defeat in her.
"I've seen the emperor, the queen." Sun Ronghua knelt on the ground slumped, and the cold floor of Xihe Palace made her shiver in the summer. She raised her head slightly to see the emperor's expression, but before she could see clearly, a hot teacup smashed beside her. fear.
This cup of tea was originally received by Feng Jin from the palace maid. The tea cup is not a precious porcelain, but the workmanship is very delicate. It smashed on the ground and shattered, shocking the whole room.
The queen's heart also jumped slightly. She knew that the emperor did not love the harem. Although the concubines and concubines in the harem said they had their own plans, they were all polite on the face, even if someone died, on that face. They are all good-looking, but if something like this happened suddenly, although it is stupid, but Zhao Chongyi is in a coma now, which is enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.
"I love you two points because of the queen, but I never thought she was an ugly and poisonous woman," Feng Jin took the handkerchief from Gao Dezhong's hand, wiped his hands carefully, and didn't look at Sun Ronghua, who was kneeling, "Good Jealous and vicious, there is no room for such a woman in the harem, but the Sun family raises a good daughter. Originally, you should only have three feet of white silk, but when you read Zhao Chongyi that your life is not in danger, you took the title of concubine and was demoted to serve in the cold palace. Master inside."
The hearts of the concubines and concubines are cold, isn't it more difficult to be a servant of the harem than death? And the emperor even mentioned the Sun family inside and out of his words, and actually let Sun Ronghua go away without the right.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not me, it's not me," Sun Ronghua knelt up in excitement after hearing these words, "She jumped in by herself, I didn't push her! She framed me!"
As soon as Sun Ronghua said this, the concubines and concubines had different expressions.
Concubine Shu Gui raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and glanced at Sun Ronghua who was justifying her with pity and mockery. It was no longer important who was right and who was wrong in this matter. What's more, this Sun Ronghua himself is not clean.
"What you mean is that Zhao Chongyi pushed you down first, and then jumped in by himself?" Feng Jin sneered, "You didn't drown, but Zhao Chongyi passed out, which is really interesting. "
Sun Ronghua opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally seemed determined to tell the truth when he suddenly heard a palace maid in the room calling for the master to wake up. She recognized this maid as one of the big maids next to Zhao Chongyi.
Seeing that the emperor's attention was all on the person on the bed, Sun Ronghua sat down with a pale complexion, as if he saw his destined future, and his whole body trembled slightly. In the eyes of others, he felt a little guilty. the taste of.
The so-called reluctance to let the child trap the wolf, Zhuang Luoyan choked a little bit miserably this time, but when Sun Ronghua was brought in, she woke up, and if she didn't open her eyes at this time, some things would be beautiful.
"Why is the emperor here?" Zhuang Luoyan's voice was hoarse, and after saying this, he coughed with a look of confusion on his face.
Feng Jin stretched out his hand and patted the quilt covering her, "Concubine Ai is awake? I heard that you fell into the water, I will come to see you."
"The concubine didn't fall into the water," Zhuang Luoyan said, still a little uncomfortable, and after listening to Zhu's hand moisten her throat with some honey, she continued, "I just met Sun Ronghua on the road, and I don't know why she suddenly pushed the concubine away. Jumping into the water, the concubine was frightened at the time, thinking that Sun Ronghua had something to think about, so she jumped down confusedly, but as soon as she entered the water, something grabbed the concubine's feet. I wonder what happened to Sun Ronghua?"
"She's all right, it's you who has something to do," Feng Jin's expression softened a bit, giving Gao Dezhong a face, and Gao Dezhong immediately backed out.
There is no Zhuang Luoyan who would say such a thing to the empresses, and there is no trace of Sun Ronghua's intention to frame her in these words, but it is really a simple accident. But how can there be so many accidents in this harem, not to mention that even if Sun Ronghua really has something he can't think of, he won't run to Xihe and dive outside the palace.
These words are extremely beautiful, beautiful enough to make the emperor's original suspicion of her turn into admiration.
"Why is Sun Ronghua here?" Zhuang Luoyan seemed to see the people in the room clearly and wanted to stand up to salute, but was pushed back by the emperor, he glanced at Sun Ronghua and said, "Sun Ronghua is in danger for you, naturally should be punished."
Zhuang Luoyan was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have thought of something, a little stunned, but also a little scared, and the look in Sun Ronghua's eyes was not so friendly. Even the original pleas were swallowed.
He didn't pretend to be kind, and he didn't pretend to be ignorant all the time, but it seemed real.
Originally, I thought that Zhuang Luoyan was so scheming that he actually calculated Sun Ronghua's important task, but seeing Zhuang Luoyan's appearance at this time, he was a little confused whether Zhuang Luoyan was really being calculated or falsely calculated.
The concubines who were originally thinking of watching the excitement were suddenly a little disappointed. Such a big farce should have some fun to watch.
About a stick of incense passed, Zhuang Luoyan's expression had recovered a lot, and he said a few words before and after, and saw Gao Dezhong come in, followed by a few eunuchs, but his face was not very good.
When the queen, whose expression had softened, saw the contents of the trays held by the eunuchs, she was slightly taken aback, and her expression changed immediately.
There is nothing else in the tray, just some tangled water plants and some messy ropes. These things still have water on them, and you don't need to think about them to know that they have just been salvaged from the water.
"Report to the Emperor, the Queen Mother, the servants salvaged these sundries from the lotus pond."
The lotus pond in the palace is taken care of every few days, just to prevent the water from being too dead and smelly, or the water being dirty and affecting the interest of the masters to watch, these weeds and ropes should not have things, how can they be? Salvage in the lotus pond.
Thinking of what Zhao Chongyi said just now that she was caught by something after jumping into the water, the expressions of the concubines changed, and the eyes they looked at Sun Ronghua were different.
He said that the harem did not have such a stupid way to frame her. It turned out that Sun Ronghua was killing two birds with one stone. If she was the only one who fell into the water, then Zhao Chongyi would be accused of pushing her into the water. If Zhuang Luoyan jumped along, she might drown. The opponent, after all, she knew the position of the water plants and the ropes, and Zhao Chongyi did not know.
"That's interesting. When did these things exist in the lotus pond?" Feng Jin sneered and glanced at Sun Ronghua, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged, yes..." Before Sun Ronghua could finish speaking, several old aunts covered their mouths and dragged them down. How could they see the dignity of the master.
Seeing this, the queen got up and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, the concubine is not good at managing the harem, please punish the emperor." In her words, she did not mean to plead for Sun Ronghua, and naturally she did not mention the relationship between the two cousins.
Feng Jin looked at her calmly and said slowly, "I have nothing to do with the queen at this time, so don't blame yourself."
The Empress was slightly relieved, but Concubine Shu who was standing could see clearly, and the Emperor's eyes were a bit colder than before.
As for the person involved, he fell asleep again after being exhausted.
