Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 406 His Majesty's Temporary Counterattack (24 more)
He didn't even ask why, and charged the two of them directly. Obviously, he came prepared.

Xue Yinhuan didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him when he was about to leave the palace, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

There was severe pain on the calf where the dog had bitten her. She couldn't stand still and collapsed to the ground.

Zhilan next to her had already knelt down.

But there is no one in the palace who doesn't know the Department of Punishment. That place is dedicated to the palace people who have made mistakes. Once they enter, there is no one who can't get out. There are countless palace ladies who go in vertically and lie down. clear.

"Mistress Zhaoyi, forgive me." Zhilan cried, "This servant is Zhilan, a maid of Xianfu Palace. I sent Miss Xue out of the palace by the order of my concubine Qing. I never thought that a little white dog would come out on the way. , directly biting Miss Xue's leg and not letting go, my girl also threw the dog away out of self-protection, never thinking of hurting it."

Deng Zhaoyi sneered coldly, "Joke! Xiaobai is dead and you told Ben Gong that it was not intentional? You guys, hurry up and tie me up and send him to the Department of Punishment, let those old things extract a confession, and see if it is true. Instigated by whom."

Zhilan cried more and more, pleading and kowtowed, "Ms. Zhaoyi, please don't remember the villain's mistakes, please let Miss Xue go."

"A lowly servant girl dares to negotiate terms with me? Do it!"

Xue Yinhuan sat slumped on the ground and covered the place where the dog bit her. The blood on her lips was gone, and she could hardly speak.

No matter how stupid she was, she also realized that the dog's teeth were poisonous.

The maidservants beside Deng Zhaoyi quickly set her up.

Xue Yinhuan couldn't stand steadily, he staggered forward, and a black halo hit his eyes.

After a while, her consciousness was in a fuzzy state, she couldn't see who was who, she only felt that she was being dragged forward a long way.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a clear and majestic voice came from another path.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Empress Su, they immediately threw Xue Yinhuan aside and knelt down together.

Deng Zhaoyi stepped forward to greet her, "Why is the empress here?"

Empress Su's eyes fell on Xue Yinhuan, "I passed by here, and heard noises from a long distance away, what's the matter?"

Deng Zhaoyi was full of grievances, and while wiping the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, she cried, "The Empress must decide for my concubine, the pet that the emperor bestowed on my concubine was kicked to death by this little hoof."

The direction that Deng Zhaoyi's index finger pointed was exactly Xue Yinhuan.

No, it's not like that.

Xue Yinhuan wanted to explain that he was just throwing the dog away, and that kind of strength was not enough to kill it. Moreover, since he was poisoned, it was obvious that the dog had problems before.

But she moved her lips a few times, but she couldn't make any sound. Instead, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

In a trance, she heard Empress Su say: "I can understand Deng Zhaoyi's feeling of losing a beloved pet, but a pet, how can it be more important than human life? I remember that the emperor often praised Deng Zhaoyi's pure and kind temperament. The girl was obviously injured, and Deng Zhaoyi is so kind-hearted that she would not even step on an ant to death, can she bear to see her die now?"

What Deng Zhaoyi said, Xue Yinhuan didn't hear clearly, followed by the queen's voice, "Even if it's for the sake of my palace, you should turn the big thing into a small thing, don't bring this matter to the emperor."

Then, Xue Yinhuan fell into a coma completely, completely unaware of what happened.

When she woke up, she found that she was in Kunning Palace.

Empress Su arranged for a maid to guard her, and when she woke up, the maid hurriedly asked her if she felt any discomfort.

Xue Yinhuan pursed her lips.

The maid said again: "The girl was bitten by a dog at that time, Deng Zhaoyi refused to let it go, and wanted to send you to the Punishment Department, it was the Empress who appeared in time and rescued you."

Feeling that her calf was still hurting, Xue Yinhuan couldn't get out of the bed to see the queen, so she could only tell the maid, "Please tell me, my lady, thank the queen for saving her life."

The palace maid nodded, "The imperial physician has already come to see Miss Xue's wound and needs to rest in bed. You should rest first, and this servant will go and tell the empress that you are awake."

Xue Yinhuan showed gratitude, and asked again: "Does Empress Qing know about this?"

The maid shook her head, "The Empress means to wait for the girl to wake up before asking your opinion. If you want Empress Qing to visit, the Empress will find someone to inform her. If you want to hide it, Kunning Palace Naturally, no one will leak this matter.”

Xue Yinhuan thought for a moment and asked, "Can you not let my aunt know, I don't want her to worry."

"The servant girl will tell the empress."

After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, closed the door by the way, and went directly to the main hall to meet Queen Su.

Empress Su leaned on the phoenix seat, with a charcoal basin in front of her, and the hall was warm.

The one sitting next to him was none other than Deng Zhaoyi, who had been arguing in the imperial garden before, now he changed his previous demeanor and was chatting and laughing with Empress Su.

After the maid came in, she greeted the queen and Zhaoyi in turn.

Empress Su asked her, "Are you awake?"

"Wake up." The maid replied: "She also asked the slave to convey her thanks to the empress for saving her life."

Empress Su raised the corners of her lips, "It seems that she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, not bad."

Deng Zhaoyi looked at Empress Su in puzzlement, "I don't understand why your empress set up this game to make her owe you a huge favor."

Empress Su smiled, "If you want to see a good show, you just have to make this matter bigger, the bigger the better."

Deng Zhaoyi still couldn't figure out the Queen's intentions, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. According to Queen Su's arrangement, she went to Qianqing Palace in the next afternoon crying and crying, and complained to Emperor Guangxi that her imperial pet was killed. Xue Yinhuan, the niece of Concubine Qing of Xianfu Palace, was killed.

While she was crying, she accidentally discovered that the eldest prince Zhao Xi was also there.

Deng Zhaoyi didn't mention it, even Emperor Guangxi couldn't think of such a person as Concubine Qing.

He frowned and looked at Deng Zhaoyi, "Is he really dead?"

"How dare the concubine lie to the emperor, Xiaobai's body has just been buried, if the emperor wants to see it, the concubine will let someone dig it out."

As he spoke, he began to cry again.

Emperor Guangxi said: "It's just a dog. I'll reward you with another one later."

"But... but this concubine has feelings for Xiaobai." Deng Zhaoyi's tears broke down and kept rolling down.

Emperor Guangxi frowned, "If you really feel angry, drag the person who killed Xiaobai down and beat him a few more times."

Hearing this, Deng Zhaoyi glanced at Zhao Xi hesitantly.

Seeing this, Emperor Guangxi's pupils shrank slightly, "If you have something to say, just say it, how decent is it to hide it in front of me!"

Deng Zhaoyi stammered: "The concubine heard people say that Miss Xue is someone close to His Royal Highness, and the concubine dare not punish at will."

Emperor Guangxi's eyes quickly moved to Zhao Xi, as if he was looking for an answer.

Deng Zhaoyi carefully observed Zhao Xi's reaction.

The queen said that it is not uncommon for other concubines to bring girls to find excuses to get close to Zhao Xi these years, but Xue Yinhuan was the first one who made Zhao Xi take the initiative to talk to her.

Zhao Xi may have a different attitude towards Xue Yinhuan than others.

Whether there is one or not depends entirely on Deng Zhaoyi's temptation this time.

Once Zhao Xi wants to save Xue Yinhuan, it means that he has feelings for Xue Yinhuan.

For the always indestructible eldest prince, being emotional is tantamount to having a fatal point. At that time, the queen can find a way to send the girl to Zhao Xi based on the favor owed to her by Xue Yinhuan.

A person with a fatal weakness will not be so difficult to deal with.

"Xi'er, have you taken a fancy to Xue Yinhuan?" Emperor Guangxi still stared at Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi's expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end. When he heard Emperor Guangxi's question, he did not answer immediately, but looked at Deng Zhaoyi with a puzzled face, "Who is Xue Yinhuan?"

Deng Zhaoyi: "..."

Before she could say a word, Zhao Xi came again with a questioning voice, "The prince has never known a girl named Xue, but Lady Zhaoyi insists that she is someone close to me. ?”

Turning sideways, Zhao Xi looked straight into the eyes of Emperor Guangxi, "Please also pay attention to the emperor, my son has never heard of this person."

Deng Zhaoyi never expected that things would turn out like this. Seeing Emperor Guangxi's deteriorating expression, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, that's not the case. The concubine did not frame His Highness."

Emperor Guangxi's voice was deep and angry, "It's not a false accusation, but it's because you saw it with your own eyes?"

"The concubine, the concubine is what the palace people say."

Zhao Xi smiled lightly, "I don't understand the rules of the harem, but I once heard my mother and concubine lecture the maids, saying that without any real evidence, no matter whether it is a palace servant or a concubine, it is forbidden to damage others' reputation through hearsay. However, Empress Zhaoyi is the imperial father's concubine, so she can be regarded as the concubine's mother of the emperor's son, and I still want to give the imperial father face."

Zhao Xi retreated to advance, and was about to say that he would not care about Deng Zhaoyi, when he heard Emperor Guangxi snort heavily beside him, "How can I let my son suffer innocent injustice because of a woman? Come, pass on my will, Deng Zhaoyi has bad intentions and deliberately slandered the eldest prince. She will be reduced to a talented person immediately and thrown into limbo. Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit her!"
