Chapter 408 The Return of the King 5
Chen Guipin, who was kneeling on the ground, listened to the Queen Mother's words, her heart trembled. These words sounded like a distinction for Concubine De, but when she thought about it carefully, she pushed Concubine De to a willful and unreasonable level. What the palace can rely on today is this position and a son who is loved by the emperor.The empress whispered softly, without even saying a single word to criticize Concubine De, Concubine De had already been at a disadvantage in the Emperor's heart, and a chill suddenly appeared in her bones.

The emperor turned pale, and said to the queen: "You have presided over the harem for so many years, and you have always done things fairly. I can trust you the most."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The concubine only hopes that the sisters in the harem will live in harmony. It's just that what Chen Guifei said is really unexpected, so I'm really surprised. I'm afraid it's a malicious frame, so I have to ask to understand." The queen sighed lightly, Then he said to Chen Guipin: "You don't have to be afraid, you can show your life-saving item to the emperor now, as long as what you say is true, I will uphold justice for you."

Chen Guipin hurriedly kowtowed, with a 'bang bang' sound, choked up and said: "I dare not say a single lie..." Chen Guipin told how she was discovered by Concubine De, and how she believed that the Duke avenged her In the end, she was caught by the emperor under the arrangement of Concubine De among the beautiful girls. She was ordered by Concubine De to win the favor of the emperor, and told her all about the emperor's whereabouts, "...At that time, the minister I dare not refuse, but I also know that since I have done such a thing, if I am found out in the future, I will only have a dead end. Even if I am not found out, I can keep hiding it, but there is no guarantee that the concubine Defei will not attack me in order to silence me. Then he had an extra mind, and even more to please the Empress Concubine De to gain her trust. Gradually, the concubine was able to come and go freely in Xiuyu Palace. The nanny mentioned Fang Jieyu. At that time, concubines had been in the palace to be favored for a while, and they had already vaguely heard that their own birth was somewhat similar to Fang Jieyu." Mentioning the words Fang Jieyu, Chen Guifei I just felt that my breathing became heavy. Everyone in the palace knew that Fang Jieyu was a taboo in the palace. No one dared to mention these words in front of the emperor. At this time, she had to grit her teeth and act with the queen. In this scene, the Empress specially asked her to come to Fengqi Palace today, so she knew that the opportunity to avenge herself had come.She has lived to this day because of today, what Concubine De owed her, she wants to get it back with interest! "So when my concubine heard Concubine De mentioned Fang Jieyu to Nurse Xi, she immediately knew that maybe this was a chance for her to save her life. Sure enough, this concubine heard a few words. After a few days later, my concubine once again After entering the Xiuyu Palace, I got the information from what I heard last time, and got a booklet hidden in the dowry by Concubine De. This booklet was written to the emperor by Fang Jieyu, who was seriously ill, Hide it privately."

When Chen Guipin said this, the big stone that was pressing on his heart seemed to be removed all of a sudden, he took out a brocade bag from the armhole and handed it over with both hands.

After handing over this notebook, she knew that she would not be able to survive. If she could get a glimpse of the secret affairs of the harem, the emperor would not allow her to live, she knew it in her heart.Being able to linger until today is just to seek justice for myself, but when this day really comes, I feel sorry for myself again.If she had never met Concubine De and agreed to her request, would she have had another ending?Even if he is not favored in this palace, at least he can still live well.

Unfortunately, no if.

The emperor looked at the brocade bag that Chen Guipin handed over with both hands, but did not pick it up for a long time, his eyes fell on the brocade bag, his expression was gloomy and unpredictable.

The queen was also worried, Fang Jieyu... the biological mother of the fourth child... Even today, she doesn't know whether the emperor treats her with true love or pampering.This time, if she gave it a go, even she couldn't predict the outcome.But there is only one chance, and now that the fourth child has the right time, place and people, if he misses this time, he may never have another chance.

The emperor didn't reach out to take the brocade bag, he was in a stalemate for a moment, seeing that Chen Guipin's arms were almost trembling, when the queen was thinking about whether to speak, the emperor finally took it.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Guipin's body limp and prostrate on the ground, handed over the brocade bag, her life may be gone tonight or tomorrow.

The Fengqi Palace suddenly fell silent, the sunlight came in through the windows, and there were mottled shadows on the ground.In the light and shadow, floating dust is flying, and in the hall, people's hearts are uneasy.

The emperor didn't open the brocade bag directly, but looked at the queen and asked, "I heard that the Wen family gave the fourth son another daughter?"

The queen didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this, so she smiled helplessly, and said in a tone of incomprehension: "Yes, my concubine heard a few words from the fourth family, who was just killed by one of her daughters. That way, hearing that the Wen family's daughter couldn't even sleep well, who would have thought that the Wen family would be so bold that they would even dare to come to the door and threaten to send a daughter in early, saying that the fourth family would definitely agree. Come with such great confidence."

"When did this happen?"

The queen thought about it seriously, and then replied: "It was before the news of the fourth brother's accident came."

The emperor sneered, got up and flicked his sleeves, and said to the queen: "It seems that someone knew in advance that the fourth child would not come back, so he dared to bully him."

The queen's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly stood up, with uneasy expression on her face, "The emperor means that the Wen family..."

"Let the Wen family go to the Shenxing Division to reunite." The emperor stood with his back to the light, "The empress issued a decree to let the Shenxing Division take over."

The queen is in charge of the harem, and this matter can be regarded as the queen's responsibility. At this time, the queen's decree to take people is also in line with the regulations.

The queen looked at the emperor, "Yes, the concubine obeys the order."

The emperor asked Wen's family to interrogate the crime, and the empress felt really relieved at this moment, watching the emperor stride out with the brocade bag in his hands, squatting down to send it off respectfully, only Chen Guifei was left untreated At this time, Chen Guipin's body lying on the ground moved, looking at the queen, "Maidservant...what should I do?"

The queen rubbed her forehead, and said to Chen Guipin with a pleasant face: "The emperor didn't tell you what to do with you, so you should go back to your own residence first. The emperor is not a person who vents his anger, I think your life is saved."

Chen Guipin seemed to be in disbelief, crying and laughing all of a sudden, she took a step forward to protect the queen's leg, "All this is a gift from the empress, the concubine did not expect to be able to save this life."

The queen looked at Chen Guipin. At first she hated her, but later she took advantage of her, but now she felt a little pity for her, "You saved your own life, and I just gave you a push. Concubine De has done a lot of evil, you To be able to turn around and be right is to know how to turn back when you are lost. In the future, you must not be like before in the palace, you must abide by the rules, remember?"

"My concubine remembers it, thank you for your instruction." Chen Guipin bowed down and thanked, "My concubine will never dare again."

Chen Guipin is also a cruel master. Her mother died early, her father married later, and her stepmother was mean to her, so she could get help and burn the whole family to death.The person who was tortured by the concubine De later lost his courage, walked around the harem, almost lost his life, and only then came to his senses.The queen didn't like such a cruel person, but she thought that Chen Guipin's stepmother was indeed vicious, if she hadn't been forced to be cruel, Chen Guipin would not have hated her so much.

Everything has a cause and an effect, the cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution of heaven and earth are all predestined.

The queen did not pick up Chen Guipin's life-saving items from the beginning to the end, and did not even look at it, but asked Chen Guipin to present it to the emperor directly.First of all, Fang Jieyu's affairs back then were full of doubts. Even she, the empress, the emperor forbade her to intervene. In case there is any terrible truth in it, I'm afraid that I won't be innocently implicated in my anger.Since she didn't let her take care of this matter at the beginning, the queen still doesn't care about it today, but just passed the truth to the emperor through Chen Guipin's hand.

At that time, the only one who bears the anger is Concubine De.

Let Concubine Chen go back, and the queen immediately issued an order for Shen Xingsi to interrogate Wen's family. This is the end of the sentence, and Concubine Han and Concubine Gui came hand in hand.

The queen has been busy all day, and she is always cautious in front of the emperor. At this time, she is too tired to even speak.But when the two of them came, they had no choice but to get up and invite people in, but they didn't get up to make up, and still maintained the appearance of taking off their hair and leaning on the soft pillow.

As soon as Concubine Han and Concubine Gui came in, they were shocked to see the queen's appearance. They quickly greeted each other, and the queen waved her hand with a smile, "Okay, there is no one else here, sit down. I'm a little tired, lean here Take it easy."

Nanny Chu led someone to bring refreshments, bowed down and backed out.The room still has the scent of ambergris from the emperor's body when he came, and only the emperor in this palace uses this kind of incense, which is especially easy to mark.

Concubine Han was a little closer to the empress, and she was sitting not far from the empress at this time, brought tea over herself, and then said: "Your Majesty's face is pale, why don't you leave first, and come back tomorrow."

"That's not necessary, let's talk about something useful. Originally, you didn't come here, so I'll have someone invite you to come here after a short rest." The queen moved her body as she spoke, turned her head to look at the imperial concubine, and said, "That's it." I'm afraid I will have to ask the concubine sister to help me with this matter."

The imperial concubine laughed when she heard the words, "This is really rare. The empress has not assigned me any errands in these years. Now it's my turn to work for you. The concubine can't ask for it."

Hearing this, the queen smiled. The imperial concubine has a bad temper because she doesn't need to look at anyone's face because she is favored, but one thing is good. She always steps on the line when she does things. She looks quite arrogant, but everyone is in the line of rules. You can't go wrong.Now that we have reached an alliance with her, this attitude has changed very quickly. Immediately, we are affectionate and affectionate, just like sisters for decades. Otherwise, the two have been able to live in peace all these years because they are understanding people in their hearts and know each other. bottom line.

Concubine Han laughed along with her, but she was a little nervous and only stared at the queen and concubine.

The queen explained the general situation, and then said: "Chen Guipin met the emperor from this palace and has sued for injustice, so I can't interfere with the rest of the matter, otherwise the emperor's temperament will make him suspicious. Looking at the palace, the only ones who can relate to what happened back then are the noble concubines and younger sisters."
