Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 428 Reciprocity, big quilts sleep together (1)
At the Manyue Tower, the scene had already been cleared at that time.

When Duanmuqi and Song Chuxi passed by together, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate stopped them, and after going in to report, Gao Jinli came out and brought them in, explaining embarrassingly: "something happened, The empress dowager is not here again today, and the fourth young lady is the sister of the good concubine, so the emperor made an exception to invite you in."

Something happened to Song Chufang?What's the matter?

Song Chuxi was suspicious in his heart. After entering inside, he saw that the room was full of people, all of them were emperors and concubines as well as princes and concubines.

Yin Zhan was also there, but he didn't join in, and just took Wei Heng to sit outside and drink tea.

Duanmu Qi glanced over thoughtfully, but Yin Zhan seemed to avoid it deliberately, and did not meet his gaze.

It was lively arguing inside, so the two didn't stay outside and went in directly.

And what happened was simple. In the evening, the emperor arrived with his concubines. Because it was not yet dark, the concubines dispersed and went for a walk.Later, someone was tired and went into the Manyue Building to drink tea and rest. He saw candles on the second floor. When he came up, he saw two people sleeping together on the big bed with a big quilt.

Song Chufang and Jimo Xun.

At that time, although the two of them were dressed neatly, sleeping on the same bed under the same quilt was too much for them.

The concubine was so frightened that she hurriedly sent someone to notify the emperor and empress, and then sealed the Manyue Tower.

Song Chuxi and Duanmu Qi came late, and the emperor had already interrogated them for a round.

At that time Jimo Xun was kneeling there with a dark face, instead of being ashamed and frightened, he was full of anger.

This was deliberately framed by someone, and it was so obvious that everyone could see it, even the emperor knew about it, but even if he knew about it, it would have greatly damaged his face, so he was still furious and wanted to investigate.

Song Chufang also knew that she was being plotted against, so she knelt at the emperor's feet crying and crying for grievances.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed strange, Concubine Liang—" Empress Liu didn't want the situation to escalate, so she could only bite the bullet and go forward to persuade her.

"How do you control the harem?" Being cuckolded is a shame and humiliation for any man, not to mention that this person is still the emperor of the master. The emperor interrupted Empress Liu angrily, "here You are responsible for everything today, how did you become a queen?"

It is very serious to reprimand the queen face to face for her incompetence.

Empress Liu also felt aggrieved in her heart, but she was even more terrified. She quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The emperor calms down, it's because the concubine was negligent." As she spoke, she also said bitterly: "But your majesty, the concubine has been busy these days. In order to arrange today's banquet here, Concubine Liang has her own legs and feet, and when she comes here, the concubine can't restrict her actions."

In the final analysis, this matter was only Song Chufang's personal behavior.

If the emperor wants to sit down, Empress Liu can't escape the responsibility, but to put it bluntly, it's just a crime of desire.

Song Chufang was so frightened that she fell on the ground and shivered.

The emperor was furious, pointed at Empress Liu viciously and said, "Are you still sophistrying?"

Empress Liu was in a state of distress, knowing that she could no longer justify herself against the wind and commit crimes at this time, she just gritted her teeth and stopped speaking.

Yin Shao had never pleaded for Empress Liu before, and only now came forward.

But he didn't speak for Empress Liu, he only asked the emperor: "Father, isn't Concubine Liang pregnant? My son remembered that she was pregnant last time on her birthday. Are you telling her to rest behind closed doors?" Yes, why are you so careless, you also went out today?"

In Song Chufang's place, the emperor was already furious about Song Yaqing's matter, so it was impossible for him to think of such a small matter as the Shangyuan Festival dinner alone and relieve her restraint.

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes turned cold involuntarily.

This time it was Concubine Yuan Gui who knelt down hastily and said aggrievedly: "Your majesty, my concubine—the concubine has no other meaning. It's just that there is a funeral in the palace recently, and the concubine feels that the atmosphere is gloomy. Your majesty, I'm also in a bad mood, so I just wanted to let the sisters come out to relax, I—"

As Concubine Yuan Gui said, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Why did this matter get involved with Concubine Yuan Gui again?

Song Chuxi felt strange, so he gave Duanmuqi a questioning look.

The corners of Duanmuqi's lips curled up, his expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he explained in a low voice, "The prince and King Huai are fighting in the court, and the queen and concubine Yuangui are fighting secretly in the harem. Empress Liu has suppressed and punished her for some reason, she has been grounded until now and has not regained her favor, so Concubine Yuan Gui moved her mind for this banquet."

Concubine Yuan Gui wanted to give favors, but if she only interceded for Concubine Li Shu alone, it would be too obvious, so she took this opportunity to mention it to the emperor, and asked the emperor to promise that all concubines and concubines above concubines can accompany her today. Come here.In this way, once the emperor leaves the palace that day, there is no need for the emperor to make a special decree, which is equivalent to acquiescing in the lifting of Concubine Li Shu's confinement.

In this matter, Concubine Yuan Gui only cared about competing with Empress Liu, so how could she notice Song Chufang who had nothing to do with her?

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this woman that the disaster happened.

Song Chuxi pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Duanmu Qi waited for a while, then looked sideways and asked, "What? Don't you think Concubine Yuan Gui's opportunity to intercede is too coincidental?"

"So what?" Song Chuxi said disapprovingly, "Even if someone instigated it, can the emperor get the evidence?"

This is not a major matter of pardoning death row prisoners, and in a palace full of people, if someone wants to instigate Concubine Yuan Gui to do this, it really doesn't need any clever means, and they don't even need to reach out to her palace If you want to go here, you only need to casually reveal a few words to Concubine Li Shu's confidants to know that Concubine Li Shu will definitely go this way when she is in panic.

If it is necessary to investigate now, with so many servants and servants in the palace, it is impossible for anyone to know who released those few words that pointed the maze back then, and there is no way to investigate.And even if you find it out, so what?The servants were just chatting casually in private, and the personal relationship between Concubine Li Shu and Concubine Yuan Gui had nothing to do with today's matter of Song Chufang cuckolding the emperor.
