The world is full of poisonous women

Chapter 487
Three days later, in the court hall, the news that Nangong Chao was dismissed from his post because he cut corners and filled his own pocket while building the Wuqing Reservoir while he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry spread to the harem.

Nangong Ling went to the imperial study three times in one day, and wanted to intercede for Nangong Chao, but was turned away.

After she entered the palace, she rarely begged the emperor for her natal family's affairs.

Even when Nangong Xiaoxiao was deposed as the crown princess, she never interceded for her, but Nangong Chao was different, that was her elder brother's son, the blood of the Nangong family, she could not just sit idly by.

She had never even begged for anything from the emperor, let alone begging Situ Jing in a down-to-earth manner.

But today, she still came.

Zixing was playing chess with Situ Jing, and when the eunuch came to report to the imperial concubine to see him, Situ Jing happened to decide whether to win or lose. Knowing that Nangong Ling wanted to see her, she looked at Zixing and sighed.

"This matter has been settled, what's the use of her coming to me? Although I have been helping the emperor to assist the emperor in state affairs, the final decision is made by the emperor, and I can't change anything. Besides, Wuqing Reservoir If this matter harms the people of Xicheng, it is tantamount to harming the heavens and reason. Does this palace want to allow such a person to occupy an important position in the court?"

"If the queen mother doesn't meet the imperial concubine, just push her away." Zixing walked behind her and patted her shoulder.

"Forget it, let's see what she said! Over the years, she has helped me manage the harem with all her heart. The emperor refuses to see her. If I don't see her, I'm afraid it will cool her heart." Situ Jing lifted Eyeing the eunuch who came to report, he said, "Let her in!"

"Yes."

After a while, Nangong Ling walked in. Today, she is extraordinarily clean, with no makeup on her face, and the faint fine lines around her eyes are also exposed.

She is very good at taking care of herself and enjoying life, Zixing has never seen her look so haggard.

She walked in and knelt down.

Situ Jing glanced at her and said, "What are you doing like this? It's not the time to say good morning, so why do you have to do such a grand ceremony?"

"Empress, the concubine's big gift is not for herself. The emperor refuses to see the concubine, and the concubine has no choice but to disturb the empress. Even if Nangongchao is wrong, whether the empress can see him now. For the sake of the child, I beg the emperor to give you a lighter sentence? My sister-in-law is not in good health. If something really happened to Nangong Chao, how can you bear to see them sad and sad? The concubine does not ask the emperor to forgive her He just asks for a light sentence."

Nangong Linghong said with eyes wide open.

"How can we be punished lightly? The Wuqing Reservoir is related to the well-being of the people. Nangongchao now has a child, and there is the old Concubine Ning, but what about the people who were harmed by the flood? Don't they have the old and the young? I knew It will become like this today. Why did he disregard the comfort of the people and the trust of the emperor for a little selfishness? Imperial concubine, you have become sisters with me for so many years, and I will remember all your achievements. But none of these can be used as a reason to forgive Nangong Chao for his negligence. For the sake of innocence, you should stop doing these useless things. Fortunately, the emperor only punished him, and did not implicate his family." Situ Jing stepped forward He helped her up, but he didn't have the slightest intention to intercede for her.

It's not that she is really cruel, but that she doesn't want to do nothing for the affairs of the court, especially the things that the emperor has already decided.
