Chapter 214 Slap in public (two more)
Concubine Shu did not expect this result. Didn’t Gu Jinyu talk about her invention? How can a four-year-old kid do it?
Concubine Zhuang doesn’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement: “Shu, concubine Xiaowu has learned other people’s skills secretly, and then pretends to take it as his own credit?”
Concubine Shu was guilty for a while, her face flushed: "What did the concubine say? How could Xiaowu do such a thing?"
Zhuang Guifei smiled lightly: "Is it possible that they were the one who stole the teacher from the five little ones?"
Queen Xiao said sternly: "The imperial concubine said carefully, this palace just heard it, the child said his family would have done it long ago.
Shu concubine bit her scalp and said: "Xiao, Xiaowu will do it early too!"
Concubine Zhuang said: "You didn't say that just now. Didn't you say that Xiaowu only came up with it yesterday?"
"I..." Concubine Shu did mention that the fifth prince only mentioned this practice to her last night.
Gui Concubine Zhuang said again: "Could it be that Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi mentioned that Xiao Qi taught the child, but the child lied that his family taught him?"
Empress Xiao said sternly: "Last night Xiao Qi came back from the Imperial College and stayed here in this palace. Your Majesty was there. After that, your Majesty sent Xiao Qi to the East Palace. The imperial concubine said, how can Xiao Qi meet Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu Why did you tell Xiao Qi about this?"
The age difference between the two is so large, and the relationship is not close in normal times. It is impossible for the fifth prince to tell Qin Chuyu this kind of thing.
Qin Chuyu is a child, what does he know?
Zhuang Guifei owed her body: "It's the concubine who made a mistake."
Quick Concubine Zhuang was not speaking for Concubine Shu, and Empress Xiao also understood.
The emperor's eyes on Concubine Shu became complicated.
Honestly, the emperor is very fond of Concubine Shu, and there are always newcomers in the palace, but Concubine Shu is always the most favored one. There is no other reason. Concubine Shu is charming and beautiful, and can also coax people. It is a rare flower of explanation.
However, today’s things have touched the emperor’s bottom line.
The emperor was originally annoyed by Gu Jinyu's claim of credit but no evidence. The most annoying is the person who took credit!
Of course, the emperor is essentially a person who speaks evidence.
The emperor said: "Do you have any evidence to prove that when Xiaowu made this mortar for the first time?"
Fei Shu was dumb.
The emperor continued: "He is not imagined out of thin air, you have to make it out before you believe it, right?"
Concubine Shu was completely speechless.
The emperor called Grandpa Wei: "Go and ask that kid, when was the first time his family made this?"
"Yes!" Grandpa Wei took a small step. After a while, he turned back and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, he said that many of the walls of their neighbors are made of this kind of mortar. Last month There will be."
The emperor gave Minister Wei a wink, and Mr. Wei turned his head to call in a few masters in Bishui Hutong to take a trip to Bishui Hutong.
The concubines originally came to see the emperor, but now they see the excitement of concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu has been in the palace for many years and has never been so embarrassed.
Gu Jinyu, Gu Jinyu, you really cheated this palace!
Not long after, the Ouchi master returned to the palace, and one of them said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is indeed the same mortar."
The evidence is conclusive. The mortar was made by the child’s family first.
So the question is, how did the five princes know about mortar? Did he figure it out by himself, or... steal the teacher from someone?
Empress Xiao couldn't help but speak: "Shu Fei, don't you hurry up and tell the truth?"
Shu concubine regrets it very much. If she had known this, she would not be fooled by Gu Jinyu. If she didn't come to receive the credit, how could she lie right now?
If the five princes were not involved, it would have been.
Zhuang Guifei smiled faintly: "Why don't you call the Fifth Prince to ask?"
"No!" She hasn't confessed to Xiao Wu yet!
At this juncture, Xiao Wu was called, didn't she ask her to wear it on the spot?
But Concubine Shu is afraid of what comes—
"Huh? Father? Mother concubine? Why are you here?"
It is the fifth prince who has returned to the palace, and rushed to this side in a stride, "Mother concubine, I heard that you are looking for me in a hurry!"
He walked into the pavilion, saw Empress Xiao and others on the seat, and called out one by one.
"Mother concubine, your face is so ugly." The fifth prince looked at Concubine Shu weirdly. Everyone was sitting. Only Concubine Shu stood in the middle of the pavilion, looking like she was being interrogated. The fifth prince frowned. What's the matter?"
Concubine Shu gave him a wink.
Queen Xiao pointed to a bucket of mortar on the side and asked: "Xiao Wu, do you know this?"
Concubine Shu desperately winked at him!
The fifth prince didn’t see it. He looked at the mortar and asked with disgust: "What kind of dirty stuff is this?"
A dirty thing, what else does everyone don’t understand?
Dare to love that he doesn’t even know mortar!
Gui Concubine Zhuang hides her face and smiles: "Little Wu, Concubine Shu said you did this thing?"
The fifth prince was disgusting: "How could I do such a dirty thing?"
Zhuang Guifei laughed out loud.
The remaining concubines also covered their mouths with kerchiefs.
The Emperor Xiao had the frame of the mother of a country behind him, but he didn't laugh at all.
Shu Fei's desire to die is all there.
The mother and son are connected to the heart? Can you still have a tacit understanding?
"You first retreat." The emperor said to the five princes, this matter seems to have nothing to do with him, and the emperor will not anger him for the time being.
The five princes are unknown, but the emperor gave the order and he could only leave silently.
The emperor’s cold gaze fell on Concubine Shu’s face: "What the **** is going on? Haven't explained it honestly?"
There are all witnesses and evidence. It is impossible for Concubine Shu to excuse herself anymore. After so many years in the palace, she was beaten in public for the first time, and one of them was her son.
Concubine Shu was suffocated to death, her eyes were red, and she said, "Your Majesty, the concubine was not intentional... There is a reason for the concubine to do this."
Concubine Shu said that she was going to see Gu Jinyu in the prison. Of course, she didn’t say that Gu Jinyu wanted to give her the credit, but said: "...The princess knew that he had annoyed your majesty, lest your majesty would not believe her method. This allowed the concubine to lie that Xiao Wu came up with it. She said that she hoped to serve His Majesty again. How do I know that she stole someone else's method?"
Gu Jinyu again!
plagiarized the little doctor's things again!
Now it’s okay. He was worried about the bellows and couldn’t find evidence, so the mortar sent the evidence to the door.
The emperor looked at Concubine Shu: "In this way, Concubine Shu was also deceived. From the beginning to the end, she was the only one who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
What can Concubine Shu do? Did you admit that you almost deceived the king?
In order to protect herself, Concubine Shu had to admit that Gu Jinyu deceived Jun.
Concubine Shu bit her lip, knelt down in public, and kowtowed and said: "The niece of the concubine has committed a big mistake. It is okay for the concubine to teach it, please punish it!"
The emperor said: "Princess Hui has misappropriated the achievements of others, pretended to take credit, deceived the monarch, and read it for the sake of Concubine Shu's plea for her, so take the position of the princess and take the title back!"
Shu Concubine is confused, is this, this still for her sake? Not even the princess has to do it!
The crime of deceiving the emperor is actually difficult to strictly convict. For example, Qin Chuyu always lied that he did not steal sweets, and the third prince would lie that he did his homework well... This is all deceiving the emperor, but it is generally not a crime. Punishment will only be imposed if the consequences are severe.
The mortar matter obviously did not cause huge consequences. The reason why your Majesty still seized her title and the position of the princess seems to be using the topic.
Everyone couldn't help but think of the explosion accident at the Ministry of Industry and the rumors that the bellows raging in the palace were not invented by Gu Jinyu.
If it is because of the bellows, it makes sense.
Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu, it turns out that your niece is not as good as you said. She doesn't know anything about herself. She plagiarizes the achievements of others and transforms it privately, which results in a catastrophe.
If you don’t punish your niece, who will you punish?
The eyes of all the concubines looking at Concubine Shu changed.
The most proud woman finally fell asleep.
Concubine Shu Shu was fined by the emperor for one year and banned for one month.
Shu Fei's face is green, what is slap on the face, that's it.
The whole harem watched her jokes, and from now on, her black history will not be erased!
The emperor frowned and glanced at her: "Why? Are you still not leaving? Are you dissatisfied with my punishment?"
"The concubine dare not, the concubine resigns." Concubine Shu stood up embarrassedly, saluted the emperor, and staggered away with the help of the court maid.
Just a few steps away, the emperor suddenly stopped her: "Shu Fei."
Concubine Shu was overjoyed and turned back tearfully, expecting the emperor to comfort her. After all, she was also involved. Unexpectedly, the emperor just said coldly: "Let Xiaowu come to the Imperial Study Room, I want to test his homework."
Concubine Shu froze immediately!
