Ye Guifei has never opened her mouth, only after seeing the eyes of Princess Dingbei, she just looks at Xie rucao's hand. As soon as she saw the trace on her wrist, she immediately went over and grasped Xie rucao's wrist. After carefully opening her clothes, she saw a circle of bruises in it.
Look at the mark again, it must be the man who caught it!
"Miss Xie, what is the trace on your hand?"
Hearing Ye Guifei's inquiry, Xie rucao's eyes were filled with tears. "Back to your concubine, it was the fifth prince who didn't let me go. He said that I saw this scene and wanted to kill me!"
Xie ruzhuo's words were astonishing, and his words immediately made everyone in an uproar.
At this moment, the emperor asked, "what's the matter here?"
The hall of harmony is not far from here. The emperor also heard the news. He had planned to ignore it, but the Palace officials came to report that the fifth prince had been hurt!
The emperor came in a hurry, but happened to see the scene in front of him. The fifth Prince's face was still flushed with wine, but the important part was in pain. At the moment, his face was red and white, and suddenly it was strange.
As soon as she saw emperor Jing, huifei burst into tears. She looked at the emperor with watery eyes and said, "emperor, please make decisions for my concubine and the fifth prince!"
As soon as emperor Jing was about to speak, he saw that Princess ye said slowly, "emperor, the daughter of Xie's family has just fallen into the water. Now it's freezing, so we have to interrogate her and let her change her clothes, right? If the Minister Qian Jin goes to the palace for a banquet and goes home to become a sick man, it will not be good for the emperor's reputation
Emperor Jing saw Xie ruzhuo surrounded by all the people of the Xie family. He immediately nodded and said, "well, since that's the case, go and change your clothes." Then he looked at the ugly Xiao Junyi and said, "since the fifth Prince has been injured, let's pass it to the imperial doctor first."
Huifei was not willing to say, "emperor, someone is going to slander the reputation of the fifth prince! I beg the emperor's permission to let all the people concerned go to the nearest palace. I'll have to tidy up and ask the emperor for justice! "
Over the years, Princess Hui had a solid foundation in the palace, and she had always been very popular in guessing the emperor's mind. At this time, the emperor frowned and said, "in this case, I'll do it according to the words of huifei."
Hearing this, huifei is very happy. She looks at Ye Guifei provocatively. Then she orders people to help the fifth Prince back to the nearby Zhaoyang palace.
Xie ruzhuo is held by Hongrui Jiangzhu, while light blue is carefully holding the scared maid in the back. When they arrive at Zhaoyang palace to change their clothes, they go to the main hall of Zhaoyang.
Because of huifei's command, Qiao could not enter the inner hall, but could only wait anxiously in the main hall. Although she didn't know the cause and effect, it was painful to see Xie rucao like this. At this moment, Xie Ru Zhuo came out, and she was so busy that she met her. However, she took care of the emperor and huifei sitting on the right seat, and her desire to speak stopped.
Xie ruchuo understood Qiao's meaning and gave her a soothing look. Then she walked to the center of the hall and said, "my courtiers, please your majesty, please your ladies."
"No way." With a big wave of his hand, Emperor Jing said, "what happened? Tell me in detail."
"Yes." Xie ruchuo takes a look at huifei in the main hall, and says in a brilliant voice, "today, my courtesan are not well. When I went out, I met the fifth prince on the way to invade the palace maid, but I didn't succeed. I kicked her into the water. The minister's daughter went into the water to save people, but she was threatened by the fifth Prince's words. When the maid arrived, she tried her best to call for help. Then the bodyguard arrived and stopped the fifth Prince's further action. "
"You're bloody!" Huifei immediately raised her case and pointed to Xie ruzhuo, saying, "what a wicked Xie's daughter. You keep saying that my emperor threatened you. Then I ask you, how dare the bodyguard beat the fifth prince? It is clear that you beat the prince first and slander him later! "
"Report back to empress Hui. She was in a hurry just now. She really pushed the fifth prince. Please punish him. But what the courtesan said is true, and I hope the emperor will learn from it. " Xie ruzhuo readily recognized this matter and looked up at the emperor.
Hearing the words, the emperor avoided Xie ruzhuo and looked at the shivering maids. "I ask you, is what Miss Xie said true?"
The palace maid heard the emperor's question, and then she looked up tremblingly. She didn't want to, and immediately met huifei's warning eyes. The palace maid's body shook involuntarily for a while, want to open mouth to say of words, then some hesitated.
When such a big thing happened, the virtuous concubine could not stay in the front hall. In recent years, although the second prince's prestige has been growing day by day, huifei's position in the palace is stable. In addition to the emperor's favor, it is not without the support of the fifth prince. The virtuous concubine has her own identity, and sometimes it's hard to avoid fighting with the wise concubine like a black eyed chicken.
Hearing such good news coming from behind, she immediately ordered the palace people Haosheng to wait on the ladies, while she hurried to Zhaoyang palace.
As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw the appearance of the maid of honor. She was very happy, but said solemnly, "don't be afraid. This is the palace. There is the emperor here and the concubine sitting in it. No one can threaten you."
As soon as huifei saw Xianfei, she was angry. Hearing this, she was angry and laughed. "What Xianfei's sister said is strange. Who dares to threaten her? However, my emperor's son was drunk. Instead of going to his palace to find his concubines, he molested a little maid outside. I don't know if it's the bad luck of the maid in waiting, or if it's just a bad intention and something wrong with her mind! "
"I have not!"
The maid in waiting hesitated before. When she heard this, she straightened her waist and gasped for breath. "I've entered the palace, and I'm only devoted to serving the master. How dare I have any idea that I shouldn't have? Tonight, the servant handed down the dishes, but unexpectedly, the fifth Prince followed me and forced me to do the wrong thing. The maidservant died not to follow, this just was kicked by the fifth Prince under the water! What Miss Xie said is not bad. I hope the emperor will decide it for me! "
When she spoke, her eyes were full of tears, and she was so beautiful that now she is more and more distressing.
"How dare you to slander the prince so easily! If the fifth Prince really did something to you, how can you escape, a little weak woman? Or do you really think that all his work is for nothing! " Huifei grabs the details of her words and retorts immediately.
With these words, she fell down on her knees and said, "emperor, I don't know who is so brave, but I'm so scheming to harm my son. But the conscience of heaven and earth, does the emperor prefer to believe such a palace maid of unknown origin to your own son?"
Emperor Jing had doubts, but now hearing what Princess Hui said, she felt more and more reasonable. After all, the fifth Prince's work, but Wu Zhuangyuan personally taught, is to drink wine, if you really want to do something to a palace maid, that palace maid must not break away.
Unless, this is a trap for the fifth prince!
After reading this, Emperor Jing could not help but feel suspicious. He said in a loud voice, "what Princess Hui said is quite reasonable. Come on, take down the waist token of the maid in waiting, check it one by one, and then report back. "
As soon as he gave the order, a bodyguard came forward to take the waist token from the maid in waiting.
But she didn't want to. The maid in waiting took the sign off her waist and threw it on the ground. With tears in her eyes, she said, "the emperor Yingwu, I'm not afraid of anything. It's just -- "
When she said this, she suddenly got up and drew a sword from the bodyguard's waist. Then, in the exclamation of the crowd, she put the sharp point of the sword on her neck and said sadly, "although the maidservant is innocent, I have no face to see people in the world today. It's better to prove innocence by death! "
With that, she wiped the sword fiercely towards her neck, and then fell to the ground slowly in the shock of everyone's eyes.
With the sound of "Ding --", the sword fell to the ground, along with a purple jade hairpin.
Just at the critical moment, someone hit her hand with a hairpin, which made the maid take off her hand. Although she still cut her neck, it was not serious.
It was Xiao Xinyue who did it.
The maid of honor sat down on the ground and looked at the man with disbelief. Then she cried, "why don't you let me die? Although I've been saved, I don't think the fifth Prince has been killed. She told the truth, and there's no chance of survival. It would be better to die clean today, so as to save the suffering of being insulted in the future! "
"Nonsense! If you live, there is hope. But if they die, don't they make the little people proud? " The virtuous imperial concubine cold voice rebukes a way, one side call the servant girl helped the palace maid to rise. She was able to see clearly that most of what the maid in waiting said was true. If so, the five princes' virtue will be recorded by the emperor. If you can let the second prince take the opportunity to play some, maybe from then on let the emperor disappointed in him is also possible!
Huifei then covered her chest and pointed to the maid of honor! You know, it's a capital crime! " Then she turned to kneel down again and said sadly, "emperor, I don't know who is behind the scenes. The only purpose of a play is to harm my emperor's son. In this case, please punish our mother and son. Please follow the wishes of the people behind the scenes and make this farce end!"
Emperor Jing stroked his forehead with some headache and said, "what are you doing? Today's new year's Eve, you don't want me to live in peace. Are you all going to rebel? "
As soon as he said this, the people in the hall knelt down and said in unison, "emperor, forgive me."
Emperor Jing took a look. After he finished his speech, Xie ruzhuo, who was silent all the time, sighed and said, "the grand doctor, didn't he say that he went to see the injury for the fifth prince? Why hasn't he come yet?"
As soon as his voice fell, he saw the doctor walk in from the outside of the hall with a worried face and said, "see the emperor. I've been waiting outside the hall for a long time, waiting for the emperor to summon me."
Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "how is the fifth Prince injured?"
Hearing the words, the imperial doctor suddenly felt a little nervous. Later, he couldn't stand the emperor's eyes. He had to truthfully reply, "back to the emperor, there is no other injury on the fifth prince. But there are some injuries at the root of life, so we have to rest for a while. Fortunately, it will not affect the future generations. "
Huifei was angry originally. Now when she heard that the place where Xiao Junyi was injured was minggenzi, she changed her face. She knelt on the ground and began to cry, "emperor, please make decisions for me and my son!"
