Chapter 270 270: Downgrading to a concubine

Empress Song said with cold eyes: "Oh, she is loyal, but I don't know if her master will protect her or not, so come and call Concubine Xian to me."

"Yes." Zisu replied, turned and left.

Chu Jinyan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, domineering but cold: "As the victim, Zhenfei should also come to hear the result, Hu Gonggong, go and invite Zhenfei to come."

The little girl will definitely have to wait for the final disposition result before leaving the palace. If so, what's the point of staying in Yanxi Palace and listening to second-hand news?

Hu Qian didn't know what Chu Jinyan was thinking, and was surprised that the eighth prince actually spoke for the concubine Zhen.

But I wanted to return to my thoughts, so I went to the Palace of Yanxi Palace to invite someone without hesitation.

Emperor Cheng De didn't think so much, anyway, everything his son said was right.

Empress Song knew what Chu Jinyan was thinking, and rolled her eyes in her heart.

While helping Chu Jinyan stabilize her position, so that Lu Xiang will not be wronged after marrying him, but at the same time despise Chu Jinyan, Lu Xiang, who is about to abduct her and treat her as her daughter. It is really contradictory and entangled.

Concubine Zhen arrived at Jingren Palace almost at the same time as Concubine Xian.

Compared to the morning, the complexion of the concubine Zhen has softened a lot, on the contrary, the concubine Xian looks a lot haggard.

At the gate of Jingren Palace, Concubine Zhen and Lu Xiang blessed the concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian is auspicious."

The faint voice of the concubine Zhen revealed a bit of dissatisfaction, no matter who faced the person who wanted to plot against him, he could still look good.

Concubine Xian's delicate face froze slightly: "Sister, does this mean that you don't believe in me and hate me?"

The concubine Zhen looked at the concubine Xian, and replied blankly: "I dare not."

is not daring, not complaining.

After finishing speaking, Concubine Zhen took Lu Xiang into Jingren Palace, bowed to the empress, and then sat down.

Concubine Xian saluted, but Empress Song didn't ask her to get up, and just let her half kneel in the center of the main hall.

A concubine who is planning to plot against her, why should she show face.

Everyone was sitting, and Concubine Xian was kneeling alone. This feeling was really uncomfortable. Concubine Xian felt ashamed and angry when she felt the slap in the face from the queen, but she dared not say anything.

"Concubine Xian, your maid said that all of this was her own idea. She wanted to avenge you because she didn't want to see you being bullied by the Palace. Now she has her last breath left. What do you think?" Queen Song asked coldly. .

Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and when she looked up again, she had a look of regret but no panic.

"Your Majesty has learned a lesson, and my concubine never imagined that she would be so bold. She actually took advantage of her concubine's trust in her to pass on her concubine's order, and conspired with Imperial Physician Xu to frame the empress and concubines. The evil intentions are unforgivable."

Some words can be described as righteous words, proper victims.

Empress Song tightly squeezed the teacup in her hand, resisting the urge to throw it at Concubine Xian's face.

"The concubine is really wronged, I hope the emperor will see clearly." The eyes of the concubine Xian suddenly turned red, and she looked at Emperor Chengde with the appearance of being greatly wronged.

Emperor Cheng De pursed his lips and nodded lightly: "The court lady's audacity really has nothing to do with you."

Empress Song suddenly turned her head to look at Emperor Chengde, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Xiangying is a member of Concubine Xian's palace, how can you say that she has nothing to do with her? As a concubine, Concubine Xian can't even restrain her own maids, how can she control her?" As the lord of the palace, is it possible that as long as he wants to harm the palace or concubines in the future, the lord will be able to escape unscathed by pushing his maid to take the blame? Then is there any rule of law in the harem? Liang Wei, Xiangying's viciousness is probably not the result of Concubine Xian's connivance, if the harem's morals are not corrected today, such things will only happen one after another in the future, the harem is unstable, the previous dynasty is uncertain, and the emperor will only be in trouble day and night."

"What the queen mother said is very true. The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. You can't make the family members of the empresses worry about it all day long. In this way, how can you have the thought to go to court and solve problems for the father." Chu Jinyan said casually.

Concubine Xian almost gritted her teeth when she heard Song Empress and Chu Jinyan singing and drinking.

"What does the queen mean?" Emperor Cheng De turned to look at the queen and asked.

She is the master of the harem, from concubines to slaves, no matter who makes mistakes, the queen has the right to dispose of them.

"Xiang Ying is a servant of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian has the fault of lax discipline. Xiang Ying deserves to die for her crimes, and Concubine Xian cannot escape the blame. She is not worthy of being the head of a palace. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Empress Song gave Concubine Xian a cold look, and then looked at Emperor Chengde seriously.

Did Concubine Xian think that if Xiang Ying was charged with the crime, she would be able to get away with it?

She can escape, and Empress Song will never let Concubine Xian feel better.

Emperor Cheng De thought about it seriously, and nodded under the fear of Concubine Xian: "What the Empress said is that there is no rule, there is no way to be perfect. Although Concubine Xian did not instigate this matter, it is because she has no way to rule. Today A virtuous concubine will be demoted to a concubine, and she will be fined and banned for three months a year, so please copy the palace rules carefully."

Concubine Xian shook her body slightly in shock, her face pale: "Your Majesty..."

"You don't need to say too much, I will punish you a little and give you a big warning, and let everyone in the harem take it as a warning, don't think too much and have bad intentions." Emperor Chengde said with a majestic expression.

Concubine Xian's lips moved, but in the end she didn't plead for mercy, and kowtowed to thank: "The concubine obeys the order."

"The concubine Zhen was wronged today, Hu Qian, go to the warehouse and reward the concubine Zhen with the whole set of red coral hair." After punishing the concubine Xian, Emperor Chengde rewarded the concubine Zhen again.

"The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace." The concubine stood up and saluted, "The concubine can still be innocent, thanks to the insightful eyes of the empress who saw through the conspiracy of the imperial physician."

"Well, this incident almost caused the queen to be wronged, I know it well." The reward to the queen can't be hasty, he has to think of some good things to give to the queen to appease the queen's heart.

Empress Song pursed her lips, not caring what the emperor had in mind.

Physician Xu's concubine was quietly sent out of the palace long before the emperor entered Jingren Palace, so apart from her and Zhenfei's confidantes, no one knew that it was Lu Xiang who first found out that something was wrong.

This kindness, she just kept it in her heart, there is no need to let others know, but put Xiangxiang in danger.

Concubine Xian was punished today, so I don't know how to resent her.

Before Concubine Xian left, Empress Song suddenly ordered Hu Qian: "Eunuch Hu, go to be careful about punishment and convey what Concubine Xian said just now to Xiangying truthfully, so that she can hear with her own ears what her loyal master said, and reincarnate in the next life , be a good person.

Hu Qian glanced at Emperor Chengde and saw that the emperor had no objection, so he agreed.

The empress meant to let him stimulate Xiangying again, and would she regret it after learning that her loyal master took the opportunity to blame her.

Whether the emperor became suspicious of Concubine Xian, Hu Qian is not sure, but the empress obviously believed that Concubine Xian did what she did.
