Chapter 515

At that time, she just woke up from her nap, was thinking of today’s free time, to see the children, did not expect to just out of the palace door, saw a palace maid pale face ran over, flopped down and knelt in front of her, cried loudly, “Empress Mother, big deal, in the imperial garden, the German Prince wants to kill the showgirls!”

Shen Ninghua was violently startled, Prince De entered the palace today she knew, just how could it be related to the showgirls, “What’s going on, tell us specifically.”

“Too specific, slave girl is not also not clear, only heard that Prince De accompanied the Grand Prince and Grand Princess and Chengrui young male in playing, not long after that, heard Chengrui male crying, after that, Prince De let people tie up a showgirl, the slave girl rushed to come to report to you.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes narrowed slightly as she turned her head to look at Hongling and gave her a color before leading the people towards the Imperial Garden.

Hongling stepped forward, kicked the palace maid who came to report down to the ground, unloaded her jaw to prevent her from killing herself, and then ordered people to tie her up. All the way yelling and screaming ran into the Kun Yu Palace, the mouth can not say clearly, in fact, but expressed very clearly, this palace people are unintentional or intentional, all to be interrogated properly.

Shen Ninghua came to the imperial garden, the Dragon Scale Army had already surrounded the garden, and there were several showgirls standing in the corners apprehensively. Shen Ninghua saw Tusu Qingqiu and Qin Xiang among them at a glance, and with a slight frown, she looked toward the pavilion in the garden.

Seeing that their own mother had arrived, Boss and Little Treasure hurriedly ran over and bowed to Shen Ninghua in a disciplined manner, “My son has met my mother.”

Shen Ninghua held their hands and brought them to her side, her fingers secretly brushing over their pulses, feeling that there was nothing unusual before she sighed in relief.

Baili Jinze was holding Chengrui, who was crying with an aggrieved face, and when he saw Shen Ninghua coming over, he also got up and saluted.

Shen Ninghua carried Chengrui over and wiped his tears, “Prince De, what’s going on?”

In the pavilion, a woman in a showgirl’s uniform was kneeling, dripping wet, and there were traces of water that were dripping downward.

Baili Jinze glanced at the woman with extreme disgust and said, “This showgirl wanted to plot against Chengrui, and it just so happened that I saw it.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes flashed with biting coldness, probed Chengrui’s pulse, and found that he was only surprised, and was not in any serious trouble before letting go of his heart.

Just in the gap of speaking, the announcement of Baili Junyi’s arrival also rang out, “His Majesty has arrived.”

The Imperial Garden fell to its knees, all bowing to Baili Jun Yi. Baili Jun Yi, however, did not have the heart to pay attention to these people, striding to the pavilion, seeing that Shen Ning Hua and the children are all fine, only then was relieved, and then swept over Baili Jin Ze with a hidden icy sight, how come this person came to the palace?

Baili Jinze finished saluting with cold and hard movements and stood aside.

Baili Junyi also saw the woman kneeling on the ground and couldn’t help but frown and ask in a cold voice, “Those kneeling on the ground, raise your head and report your name.”

The woman raised her head, revealing a pitying miserable white face, the hair that was wet with water was pasted on the side of her cheeks, making the originally small and delicate face more and more pathetic, and those eyes seemed to be percolating through the autumn water, which was extraordinarily stirring.

Seeing this face, Shen Ninghua snapped to mind the Gu Wan Yi she had mentioned only yesterday, this woman’s appearance was indeed outstanding.

“Slave servant Gu Wan Yi, meet Your Majesty.”

Sure enough, it’s her!

Baili Junyi frowned as he looked at her, the slightest hint of impatience flashing under his eyes, he had never had a good feeling towards women with ulterior motives, “Prince De, what’s going on here?”

Baili Jinze boarded his face and said coldly and hard, “Today I came to the palace, in mother consort’s palace, I met Wing Chen, Luo Yao and Cheng Rui, mother consort asked me to watch over the three of them, so I brought them to the garden to walk the horses, I had already notified the people in advance to clear the field, but after I came here, I found that there were still showgirls coming over. I wanted to leave, but this showgirl almost knocked Chengrui into the water, but fortunately I stepped in just in time so that it didn’t result in a tragedy.”

When Shen Ninghua heard this, her brows couldn’t help but furrow: although it was summer and the water wasn’t cold, but Chengrui was already physically weak, and if he choked on the water from the shock, the consequences couldn’t be said to be any different.

Baili Junyi’s icy gaze fell on Gu Wan Yi, “Gu Wan Yi, what do you have to say?”

“Reporting back to the emperor, slave girl didn’t do it on purpose, it was someone who was pushing the slave girl a little bit, slave girl didn’t have the intention of harming others.” Gu Wan Yi hurriedly looked up, her pale face was full of panic and helplessness, as if she was an innocent little animal, a pair of autumn water eyes eagerly looked at Baili Jun Yi, full of trepidation.

“Someone pushed you?” A quick flash of coldness flashed under Baili Junyi’s eyes.

“Yes, at that time, the slave girl came along with Miss Qin and also Miss Tu Su, the two of them were standing right behind the slave girl, it must have been pushed by one of them.” As Gu Wan Yi said, she couldn’t help but turn back to the four showgirls standing slightly farther away, “Sister Qin Xiang, Sister Qing Qiu, you guys quickly help me explain this to the Emperor.”

Shen Ninghua slightly converged her eyes, not moving as she watched Gu Wan Yi’s performance in front of her, not knowing if she was really simple or pretending to be stupid, at this time she even asked others to help explain.

Baili Junyi knows that the palace has been bustling lately, but he is busy with his feet, fighting with the officials of the former dynasty, but also overseeing the progress of the questions of the Enke, and if he hadn’t heard that something happened to the children today, he wouldn’t have set aside his political affairs to come over.

Only this first meeting with the showgirls made him annoyed, these showgirls are really trouble makers.

The four showgirls who were standing on the side hurriedly came over and kneeled down to salute. Qin Xiang and Tu Su Qingqiu were still calm, while the other two showgirls had already turned pale.

Baili Junyi spoke in a cold voice, “Just now, Gu Wan Yi named Qin Xiang and Tu Su Qing Li as the two of you who stood behind her, so the one who pushed the others was one of you, or perhaps both of you were involved?”

Qin Xiang raised his head, although he was a bit nervous, but his eyes were extremely frank, “Reporting back to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, the slave girl and Tu Su Qing Li were behind Gu Wan Yi at that time, but they were two steps away from her, and at that time, it was Gu Wan Yi who said that there were koi carp to look at at the water’s edge, so we came over, and did not get too close to each other.”

“Gu Wan Yi said someone pushed her, you said the distance, since the facts don’t match up, one person is lying.”

Tusu Qingqiu opened her mouth, “Your Majesty, Sister Qin Xiang was talking to me at the time and was indeed two steps away from Gu Wan Yi, the slave girl can testify to that.”

Gu Wan Yi bit her lip and looked at them, “You … you are lying, at that time obviously someone pushed me, I was unsteady before I knocked down the little son of Cheng Rui who was on the side, and now you are not admitting it, at that time the proposal to come to the imperial garden was yours… …”

If Qin Xiang wasn’t involved, Baili Junyi would have wanted to drag them down for interrogation and confessed to everything with two lashes.

Shen Ninghua looked at the remaining two showgirls who hadn’t opened their mouths, “What are the names of the two of you, where were you when the accident happened, and did you see anything?”

“Back to … back to the Empress Mother, the slave girl’s name is Chen Zhirou, her father is the fifth grade editorial cultivator Chen Yi. At that time, the slave girl was over there looking at that from the peony flowers, and only turned back when she heard the shrieks, and didn’t see anything, except that Sister Qin Xiang and Sister Tusu Qingqiu were indeed standing farther away from the water’s edge.”

Another showgirl also hurriedly opened her mouth, “Slave girl’s name is Zhou Xin’er, at that time, slave girl was standing with sister Chen.” Saying that, she could no longer stop shivering.

Shen Ninghua frowned, “What did you see, don’t tell me the truth!”

“Slave servant … slave servant saw … saw that it was Gu Wan Yi herself who slid over toward the water’s edge, and no one pushed her.”

Gu Wan Yi was dumbfounded, then her face retorted, “You’re lying, obviously someone pushed me …”

Shen Ninghua turned her head, “Hongling, go take a look.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Hongling first went to the water’s edge where the previous accident had occurred and then came back to lift the hem of Gu Wan Yi’s skirt to check her shoes, “Reporting back to the Empress, the soles of Xiu Nu Gu’s shoes have been smeared with oil, and there are skid marks and oil stains on the ground as well.”

Shen Ninghua’s expression turned cold, “Interrogate the sisters and palace maids in charge of the Cunxiu Palace one by one to find out what happened.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Gu Wan Yi was stunned, after returning to her senses, she hurriedly looked at Baili Jun Yi and took two steps on her knees to grab a corner of his robe, but Wu Ping, who was behind Baili Jun Yi, stepped forward and kicked her to the ground, “Bold showgirl, how dare you offend the Emperor’s dragon authority, what should be the crime?”

Gu Wan Yi hurriedly knelt down and straightened her body, “Your Majesty, the slave girl didn’t do it on purpose, the slave girl was framed, I beg you to be clear!”

Baili Junyi gave her a disgusted look, “Gu Wan Yi’s disrespectful behavior in front of the Royal Court, twenty strokes of the cane, whisked out of the palace, his father’s poor teaching, removed from his official position, deported out of the capital.”

Gu Wan Yi was dumbfounded, she didn’t think that a small action would lead to such a consequence in her eyes, she wanted to speak out to plead for mercy but was dragged down by a waiting Sister who came forward to cover her mouth.

Qin Xiang and the others also blanched as they felt for the first time what it meant to accompany a king like a tiger.

“The four of you, when you entered the Imperial Garden, did anyone stop you?”

Qin Xiang shook his head, knowing that today’s chastisement was inevitable, “Reporting back to the emperor, there was no one to stop them.”

“Where are the guards who were guarding the Imperial Garden just now?”

The six guards came out on their knees, their faces green and white.

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes, “Thirty strokes of the cane and a lifetime of non-recruitment.”

The Dragon Scale Army came forward and dragged the person down to be executed.

Qin Xiang and the others were relieved that they did not intentionally barge in, but were not stopped, so they thought that the Emperor should not punish them heavily.

Baili Jun Yi swept them a glance, “Although you are unintentionally intruded into, but the palace rules should have heard, the prince, princess, Prince De are all in, you see should be evasive, but not only you did not, but also almost caused a big trouble, go back to kneel for two hours, copy the palace rules a hundred times.”

“Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your great kindness.”

Qin Xiang and the others rose and retreated, but Shen Ninghua suddenly spoke, “Tu Su Qingqiu, you stay.”

Tusu Qingqiu’s heart violently trembled, a breath didn’t have time to come out, and directly blocked in her chest, “Empress Mother, you called the slave girl is there any other orders?”

“Raise your head and show it to the palace.”

Tusu Qingqiu raised her head slightly, revealing the red and swollen palm prints on her cheeks.

“You’re at least a showgirl, who’s so bold as to dare to directly strike you?”

“Report to the Empress Mother, this … This is the sister hit, the eldest sister taught the slave girl rules, it is the slave girl is too stupid, did not make the sister satisfied.”

Shen Ninghua hooked the corner of her lips, “This Palace has already sent a Rehabilitation Sister to teach you the rules, I didn’t expect your sister to be strict with you.”
