Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 11
Why is he here?

Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning are still following behind?
Shang Kelan frowned. It was hard to say what happened this time. She did ask Wen Chun to find out the news, but there is nothing certain now, and there is no evidence...

"What's going on here? Concubine Chen, I let you rest for an afternoon, why did something happen again?"

"His Majesty."

Shang Kelan knelt on the ground, only feeling a little tingling in the scalp, first came out from the imperial study room, and then the little palace maid behind the rockery, after she brought him back, she came to Xiao Guiren's place again before she even had time to ask a question. The thing is really incredible...

"Okay, let's get down, who of you will tell me what's going on?"

At this time, the superior was replaced by Jin Yantang.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine doesn't know what's going on now, she knows what happened just now."

Concubine Hua hid the smile from the corners of her eyes, and continued to speak: "It was originally His Majesty who asked the three of us to go to the Jiuqu Bridge to look at the lotus flowers. Her." Concubine Hua pointed to the little maid and nun who were kneeling under her body.

"If you talk too much, you should be taught a lesson."

Jin Yantang closed his eyes, and knew without thinking, how much oil and vinegar was added in it, after washing, it would be really good to have some points.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Hua was so blocked, she could only obediently respond, but she was not in a hurry, the next thing was enough for her to drink a pot!

"Your majesty, slave... the slave is not saying that the empress is wrong!"

The maid suddenly made a sound, and crawled to the middle on her knees step by step, her face was covered with tears for some reason.

"It's not about me, but who is it?"

Shang Kelan rubbed her forehead, this little palace lady followed her all the way back, there was no way someone would instigate her, unless it was agreed early in the morning, she had just entered the palace, and the people around her hadn't had time to clean up, so she was rushed She recognized such a slap in the face.

"Your Majesty, these bruises on the maidservant's body were all done by Qing'er under Sister Zhizi's hand. She also said...and said that they were serving her personally, which represented the meaning of the Empress. If she made a mistake, she would have the face to help her punish her! "

"anything else?"

Shang Kelan looked at her quietly, to see what else she could say.

"There is also Sister Zhizi, she also said that she was following the mother's wishes, the last time the servant made a mistake and was seen by Sister Zhizi, she beat the servant..."

The little maid lay low on the ground, not daring to look up at her.

"Then you, let's talk about it together."

She pointed at Wen Chun, she was the one that Jin Yantang specially asked Eunuch Fu to choose, why did something go wrong?
"Returning to the empress, the slave girl...was brought in because she was scouting at the door and was discovered by nobleman Xiao."

"Explore?"

Jin Yantang opened his eyes at this time, the corners of his mouth were a little unnatural, Laner used to be mischievous, and often secretly looked at him outside the door, thinking that he didn't know, but before letting her go because he didn't think there was anything, but now she is gone For the noble concubine, if this is true...

"Yes... it is the concubine Chen who wants to win over nobleman Xiao and take away the power from Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning, so... she asked the slaves to watch their movements."

As soon as Wen Chun opened his mouth, Xiao Guiren grabbed the handkerchief a little nervously, but he was relieved to hear her say such words, leaning on his back, the corners of his mouth slowly drawn out. A smile.

Shang Kelan looked at her quietly, her eyes sank, she didn't know what she was thinking, and when she saw Jin Yantang looking at her in surprise, she realized what was going on.

"Concubine Chen, is what she said true? If so, then it's your fault for harshly criticizing the servants and lax discipline. Asking Wen Chun to inquire about the news... would also be disrespectful."

He wanted to ask the exact words, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible. His Lan'er was not that kind of ambitious woman, and some words could not be undone once admitted.

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, what matters is whether the two of them spoke the truth without being threatened."

Shang Kelan could hear the pause in his tone, this cover-up was obvious, if she couldn't find any evidence, she would have to be punished, the former one could barely pass, but the latter one obviously couldn't be punished.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? A concubine is just a noble person with a low status. How can she have the guts to do such a thing?"

"I don't know if I have the guts, but people did catch it, didn't they?"

Concubine Hua on the side covered her mouth with a handkerchief to hide her smile.

The hall was full of silence, and everyone was either silent or looking at her. Obviously, she needed to say something.

Shang Kelan glanced at Concubine Hua, then stood up suddenly, layer upon layer of tulle clothes followed her to stand up, her slender fingers curled up slightly, she walked lightly to Wen Chun who was kneeling on the ground, slowly He squatted down, his dress was not messed up at all.

"Wen Chun, your hands are shaking, tell me what you are afraid of, or are you hurt?"

Wen Chun's body trembled inaudibly, and he didn't speak, but his cuffs moved up.

Shang Kelan saw her overly deliberate action at a glance, and stretched out her hand to slowly pull up her sleeve, revealing a forearm as smooth as a lotus root, which was completely white.

She paused, stretched out her hand to grab her arm, and squeezed it lightly. Wen Chun looked normal on her face, but her arm became tense unconsciously.

"His Majesty……"

Shang Kelan turned around and knelt down suddenly, "The concubine believes that the harsh treatment of the servant did not happen, because everything was not ordered by the concubine, and you said, has this palace ever done anything to you?"

The little maid was asked suddenly, and subconsciously shook her head.

Concubine Hua stared with hatred.

"Since there is no one, it is obviously Yuan Ge who is in charge of you. Zhizi is serving by Bengong's side. Even if your room is standing inside and serving, she doesn't say much. The only time she scolded was because of the tea you poured. It's too hot, and I can't even do such basic etiquette, how did I get into the palace!"

The court lady knelt on the ground, dazed by every sentence she said, Shang Kelan straightened her skirt slightly, and looked at Jin Yantang.

"Concubine Chen's words are justified. Come here and ask Yuan Ge, how did she make such a mistake when she was working beside me before?"

"But Your Majesty..." Concubine Hua was about to speak when she was interrupted by Jin Yantang.

"And your people secretly inquired about this matter, how should you explain it?"

"Of course it can be explained. Chen Qie said just now that Wen Chun was injured. Chen Qie doesn't know if someone did something to her, so what she said before cannot be taken seriously."

"Your Majesty is wronged!"

Before he could say anything, Xiao Guiren immediately knelt down, his face full of grievances.

"Your Majesty, the concubine just invited her in to take good care of her. There are still unfinished cakes on the table, so how could she be treated badly!"

"I didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry?"

Jin Yantang raised his eyes for a moment, and said lightly: "Check it, you'll know it if you don't!"
