Meng Qianzhong looked at the tea in the cup and frowned, "this tea is still the rest of last year. Didn't I send you a new one?"
Su Rushuang lowered her head and took a sip. Spit it out. Staring at the palace maids around him, "the tea is really bitter. How do you handle it? You can't even do small things like making tea. If you can't, get out of the palace as soon as possible. There are more palace maids outside."
A row of maids knelt on the ground in fear and said in a trembling voice, "maids and maidservants dare not. Please forgive me."
"Don't scold," Meng Qianchong raised his hand coldly to stop her angry words. "After Xiao Yi left, you made a mess here. The last time I had dinner, the food was not as appetizing as before. Princess de took green lime and Xue ronghua. You went to Xiao Yi. You need a new female official."
Su Rushuang was stunned and pricked up his ears like a rabbit. "Xue ronghua? Isn't she around Princess Chen? She's the prospective Princess of Duanwang."
"I know. But after imperial concubine Chen left, she didn't go back to the state of Qin with Duan Wang." Meng Qianchong's eyes darkened. "She went to Zhongcui palace and became a female official around imperial concubine de."
Su Rushan shouted in her heart. Xue ronghua is a smart person. Now she will be a cheap princess. "Then why doesn't she go back from the state of Qin? Isn't Princess Chen gone? She doesn't have to marry Duanwang. She doesn't always take the name of a prospective princess."
"Before leaving, imperial concubine Chen told imperial concubine De that she was kind to her and asked Xue ronghua to repay her kindness." Meng Qianzhong gently pulled the corners of his mouth and his eyes were too deep to see the meaning. "She is really a man who admires the family army. I remember the thing of repaying her kindness very clearly."
Su Rushuang thought, "emperor, don't you wonder why Xue ronghua always stays in this foreign country? Doesn't she miss her family and don't want to stay with her husband."
"Duan Wang is not her husband yet. Do you want to say that she may be a fine work from the state of Qin?"
Su Rushan said with complicated eyes: "I always feel that Xue ronghua is wrong..."
"Do you think she's wrong because she's from the state of Qin, or because she's a little like..." Meng Qianchong sipped his lips. "Forget it, she's not a masterpiece from the state of Qin. I still have some precautions."
He hasn't finished yet. Su Rushuang's eyes were dim and said with a soft smile, "emperor, can you choose the xiunv?"
"It's those people. You've selected ten, and there are six in Princess de. recruit them into Baohua hall and choose them again," Meng Qianzhong smiled. "You have some similar taste with Princess De, and she also likes women with good eyebrows and eyes."
Su Rushuang's heart stagnated, kept smiling and said, "isn't being clever the best character of the women in the palace? The emperor likes it most."
"If you have an attractive personality, being clever won't work," Meng Qianchong said. "If not, you'd better be obedient."
The little eunuch outside the palace came in and knelt on the ground with a flustered face, "madam, the German imperial concubine is coming."
Su Rushuang saw his mouse like picture of seeing a cat and immediately lowered his face, "what are you doing in such a hurry? Is the German imperial concubine terrible?"
The little eunuch bowed his head awkwardly, "madam, the servant is a little nervous."
Su Rushuang was even more unhappy. She rolled her eyes impatiently. "The palace knows. You don't have to be so afraid in the future."
"I'm also very surprised," Meng Qianchong said with interest, bending his lips. "Why are you people in Huayang palace so afraid of Princess de? Princess de hasn't done anything bad to you."
The little eunuch weakly opened his mouth and couldn't take any words. Su Rushuang quickly stared at him, "don't you go down to the palace quickly and make a fool of yourself here."
Meng Qianzhong said softly with a smile, "ask Princess De to come in. I'm also curious about how the of Huayang palace is afraid of Princess de."
Su Rushuang sneered, "I'm not afraid of her. She only picked your days in Huayang palace. I'll see what tricks she wants to use this time."
After a long time, Su Rushuang's face was like a piece of white paper. Meng Qianchong's face was gloomy and secret. With the acceleration of his fingers looking at the evidence, it was terrible inch by inch, so people didn't dare to look up at him.
"What are these things?" Meng Qianzhong felt angry and smashed the evidence on the table. "Princess, you must explain it to me."
Luo Ninghai secretly looked at the pale imperial concubine and boldly said, "the cause of the death of the queen was related to the imperial concubine."
Su Rushuang trembled all over and didn't dare to see Meng Qianchong. She had to bite her lips and whispered, "what do you mean?"
"The meaning of concubines lies in this evidence," her pale face is the best panacea for Luo Ninghai. "Doesn't your mother intend to see what she has done?"
Su Rushuang certainly knows what the evidence is. I think the German imperial concubine has found the adulterer they planted for mu Langhua, but she is not the only one behind the scenes. She glanced at Meng Qianchong with the remaining light from the corner of her eyes, and there is a bigger one behind.
Luo Ninghai flashed a trace of pride at the bottom of his eyes and proudly raised his lips, "imperial concubine, you are the cousin of the queen, and the queen is the emperor's favorite woman. How can you do such a scandal, frame your cousin and kill the emperor's Queen? You really have a vicious mind."
Meng Qianchong still kept a cold face and didn't respond. Su Rushuang was still spying on him. His heart was very complex. He didn't know how to deal with the secret disclosure of the German imperial concubine.
Seeing that neither of them reacted, Luo Ninghai had no idea for a moment. She clearly knew that empress Mu's death was caused by their joint efforts, but she still planned to use this matter to punish Su Rushuang. After all, Xue ronghua clearly said that the emperor would never admit his actions, and Su Rushuang was the only one to bear the black pot.
Luo Ninghai coughed gently and looked on coldly. "Don't you intend to admit it, imperial concubine? It's the queen of the world. You can really do anything for your position."
Su Rushuang almost broke his silver teeth. "Shut up for the palace. You don't need to intervene in the affairs of the palace."
Luo Ninghai sneered impatiently, "madam, of course this matter belongs to the emperor. Concubines are a clear evidence for the emperor, but in a word, it depends on the emperor's meaning."
Meng Qianzhong still didn't respond. His fingers were blue. Su Rushan widened her eyes and stared at him, but she couldn't even change a comforting look.
"Emperor," Luo Ninghai suddenly half knelt on the ground, with tears flashing at the bottom of his eyes, "my concubine and sister Mu have been friendly since childhood. Unexpectedly, they have been living in the palace with the people who framed sister mu, and they have to call her a high-ranking imperial concubine. It's really sorry for the ghost of my sister."
Meng Qianzhong loosened his teeth and squeezed out a "um".
Su Rushuang's hair was about to stand up. He clenched his teeth and said word by word: "what a mu sister. I'm afraid you won't let you go for a long time. The Mu family army is still thanks to general Luo for sharing the worries for the emperor."
Luo Ninghai calmly replied, "my brother works for the emperor, and my sister works for the emperor as well?"
Of course I work for the emperor. Su Rushan seems to have lit a fire in his chest, but he can't say anything. "This palace hasn't done these things. Don't talk about it."
"Let's have a good look at these confessions. It took the Secretary of punishment three days and nights to open the adulterer's mouth," Luo Ninghai pressed step by step with a cold smile. "The adulterer still has one breath. Is the mother willing to confront her concubines on the spot?"
Su Rushuang sneered and looked at her with disdain. "What are you? Our palace will go with you. The adulterer has been dealt with by our palace for a long time and is waiting for you..." her pupils tightened, and Luo Ninghai's gloating smile widened in her eyes.
Luo Ninghai resisted the impulse to clap his hands and looked at the emperor with a smile. "The imperial concubine admitted it herself. It seems that the imperial palace is a moral place."
"Emperor," Su Rushan stared at him with great expectations, "you must decide for your concubine." her heart is getting more and more uncertain. Does Meng Qianzhong really want to overthrow everything and let her carry the secret of the German imperial concubine alone.
Meng Qianchong showed a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes, smiled at the German imperial concubine, "you mean you don't want to see the imperial concubine, do you?"
Luo Ninghai was stunned. Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, he said in a daze: "Emperor... She framed sister mu."
"You just think her position as a high-ranking imperial concubine is inconvenient," Meng Qianzhong didn't seem to hear her. "Well, pass on my will and demote the high-ranking imperial concubine to be such a high-ranking imperial concubine."
Su Rushuang's eyes kept falling, and Meng Qianzhong really gave her up, "Emperor... Have you forgotten those things we used to do?"
Luo Ninghai pretended to be calm. She naturally knew what Su Rushuang meant, but what she wanted was not to lower the position, but she didn't dare to provoke the emperor, so she had to nod silently.
"Rufei," Meng Qianchong looked at her pale face with complex eyes. "You will be Rufei in the future. Your position is lower than that of the German princess. You should remember it well." he focused on biting down the words "remember" and gave her a meaningful look.
Su Rushuang knelt on the ground, and the despair in her eyes silently extended, "Emperor... You can't do this..."
"Well, I'm upset by these evidences," Meng Qianzhong categorically interrupted her. "Be good to me. This is my greatest mercy to you."
Luo Ninghai was still in place without any expression. The greatest mercy she received from framing the former queen was really worthless. Her eyes darkened. It seemed that the emperor was really involved in framing the former queen. Her whole body was cold. She just shivered at the emperor's angry eyes.
"Princess De is very concerned about my family affairs," Meng Qianzhong said with praise, without a smile in his eyes. "How did you get these evidence?"
Luo Ninghai hardened his head and forcibly explained: "my concubine always felt that the cause of death of empress Mu was strange, so she went to check. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine framed the former empress."
"Well, you are not only kind-hearted, but also kind-hearted," Meng Qianzhong snorted coldly. "If you are a man, I'm afraid you're a capable man in the imperial court."
