Chapter 589 Who Instigated

Concubine Gu was right next to the emperor, and she repeated what she had said before: "There were many people in front of the concubine, and I didn't see the situation clearly, but the concubine also said that the Qing beauty should not have done it on purpose. I don't want to pursue it."

Qingmei looked at Concubine Gu gratefully, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't do it on purpose. The concubine was originally a little maid, and she has the status she has today because of the emperor's pity. She lives in Xuanhua Palace. Concubine Gu My sister is a kind-hearted person, she has never paid any attention to my concubines, and it is too late for my concubines to be grateful, so how could I harm elder sister Gu Concubine."

The emperor nodded: "Then how did the queen know?"

The queen replied: "It was Luying next to Concubine Gu who came to inform the concubine, and the concubine came over." The queen didn't say anything in detail, but this alone was enough to show that Concubine Gu was on Qingmei's side, And the situation at that time was not fair, so she tried every means to get her personal maid to notify the queen.

"So, Concubine Xian was here early in the morning?"

Concubine Xian hurriedly stepped forward: "When you go back to the emperor, the concubine is with Qi Zhaoyi and Jiaomei. I was looking at the scenery in the pavilion, and I happened to see Qingmei and Gu Concubine. Jiaomei and Qi Zhaoyi said they would go and have a fight." Greeting, the concubines didn't take it seriously, so they let them go. When something like that happened, the concubines hurried over to have a look. Seeing that Concubine Gu was injured, they asked the people around them to call the imperial doctor. It's all on Concubine Gu, and the concubine asked Qi Zhaoyi and Jiaomei to ask whether Qingmei was doing it on purpose or not."

The emperor snorted and looked at Concubine Gu again: "Aifei said that there were many people in front of you at that time, who were they?"

"In addition to Qingmeiren and her court lady Suping, there are also Qi Zhaoyi and Jiaomeiren who are walking towards me."

The emperor understood: "So, Qi Zhaoyi and Jiaomei were both there at the time, so it is also possible that Qingmei said who pushed her."

Jiao Meiren and Qi Zhaoyi hurriedly defended themselves: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged, and my concubine did not push him away, so I ask your majesty to investigate!"

"Of course I will find out if there are any." The emperor didn't have a good look at these two people, looked at Qingmei and asked, "Who was behind you at that time?"

Qingmei's voice was choked with sobs: "The concubine didn't know that Qi Zhaoyi and Jiaomei were behind the concubine, and it was only after the incident that she heard the voices of the two empresses that she knew that besides them, there was also the concubine's court lady, Suping. "

The emperor frowned and shouted, "Where is the court lady Suping!"

Su Ping had been kneeling behind Qing Meiren, and when she heard the emperor's summons, she immediately knelt down on the ground and saluted, trembling, she said, "Your maidservant is here."

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at her: "At that time, you were behind Qingmeiren, so you should have seen it clearly. Now tell me everything."

The beautiful woman hurriedly said: "Your majesty, my concubine and Qi Zhaoyi have already asked her. She said that she didn't see anything at the time, and she couldn't ask anything if she wanted to. Qingmei just used her words to seize her ideals and wronged my concubine and others. Please invite the emperor Mingchao."

"Presumptuous, I'm talking, when will it be your turn to interrupt here!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Suping again: "Tell me, what did you see!"

In front of the emperor, Su Ping didn't dare to hide anything, she said tremblingly: "Go back, if you go back to the emperor, the maidservant will see that it is the charming beauty who pushed the beauty lady."

"Are you sure it was the pretty girl who made the move?"

Su Ping trembled even more: "Slave is sure."

"The pretty girl just said that she had asked you a long time ago, why didn't you tell the truth then?"

After hearing this, Suping was afraid of being questioned by the emperor, so she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I also ask the emperor to forgive me. The slave girl was terrified at the time, and the beauty empress couldn't explain it. The slave girl was afraid that she would be severely punished if she said something, so what?" I dare not say live."

"So, you know that your master has been wronged, but you still dare not tell the truth, and you don't want to protect your master's consciousness at all?"

"The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin." Su Ping seemed to be unable to say anything else besides this sentence, which is also understandable, a beautiful maid, she did not spend too long serving the Qing beauty, of course the master and servant Those who have no feelings and are a little bit timid naturally choose to be wise and protect themselves.

The emperor was very angry, what's the use of keeping such a useless slave, and immediately shouted: "Damn slave, he doesn't even dare to protect his master, and he doesn't know what he will do to murder him in the future , come on, drag this lowly maidservant out to me, and beat her to death with sticks!"

Upon hearing this, Qingmei hurriedly begged the emperor for mercy: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at Qing Meiren in disbelief: "My concubine, it was her ineffective protection of the master that caused you to suffer such a great grievance. I have dealt with this lowly maidservant for you, why do you beg her for mercy?"

Qingmei sighed, and her tone was rather helpless: "Your Majesty, this concubine has just arrived, and Suping and this concubine have only been together for a few days, so naturally there is no sense of master-servant relationship, not to mention that Suping has always been timid, and did not dare to tell the truth at that time. The concubine also understands very well and does not blame her. The concubine really does not want a person who has served the concubine to be executed because of the concubine, so I ask the emperor to show mercy and give Suping a chance. The concubine believes that after this time, Suping will definitely I will not make the same mistake again, and I will be grateful to my concubine in the future, who else is more suitable to serve my concubine than Su Ping."

The beauty Qing said everything in an orderly manner, and the emperor felt that it made sense after hearing it. In addition, she was kind-hearted and willing to forgive a slave who dared not stand up to speak for her. She was considered a good woman. The emperor was soft-hearted. , and nodded in agreement.

"I don't want to kill her for your sake, but if you don't do enough to protect the lord, you can't escape the guilt. The court lady Suping can avoid the crime of living, and she will be punished with a staff of [-], as a warning to others!"

Suping didn't expect that Qingmei would plead for her. The gratitude and regret in her eyes were so obvious that Shen Qingmin didn't regret saving her. Suping will be her closest person, at least in this harem, as long as she From now on, I will follow her wholeheartedly and regard her as a benefactor. Under her training, it will definitely be of great use.

After dealing with the palace maid who failed to protect the lord, the emperor focused his attention on Qi Zhaoyi and Jiaomeiren: "You two are so vicious in your thoughts, especially Jiaomeiren. It's fine if you push people away and dare not admit it. How dare you beat up and frame Qingmeiren? Even lynching her, my harem raised you vicious-minded people, it is really chilling and disappointing, saying, who ordered you!"

As soon as the emperor asked this question, Concubine Xian was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat. The emperor obviously came for her, otherwise he would not have asked such a question. He clearly knew that Qi Zhaoyi and Jiao Meiren were with her before, and apart from her Who else can 'instruct' them?
