All the words were apologetics, but every sentence pointed out that the noble concubine had lost her morality and caused chaos in the palace.

Concubine Shu listened, but her ears trembled like thunder.

Her face turned pale in an instant, even the rouge could not cover it, her lips trembled twice as if she wanted to argue, but in the end she forced herself to calm down, bowed her head and explained respectfully: "Your Majesty, what the concubine said is purely nonsense. Your Highness has Without a mother, the concubine took care of him when she saw that he was pitiful, and the concubine really loved Xian'er as if she were her own child, so she prepared meals for him every day, and had no intention of getting close to him."

The harem has always used everything to compete for favor, so Concubine Shu has been careful all these years, guarding against someone's tricks behind her back.But he didn't want that even if he backed down to this point, the other party still wouldn't let her go.This time, in order to deal with her, the innocent Lou Chen was even more involved, how insidious and ridiculous.

For the first time, Concubine Shu felt that there was not only competition for favor and position in the harem, but also hidden murderous intentions. Her slight carelessness would not only implicate Gao Yu, but also bring harm to others.

Thinking of this, she couldn't care about anything else, she repeatedly pleaded guilty, and said with tears in her eyes: "As for the matter of holding the sword by the prince's side, it is even more unfair. The concubine thinks that since your majesty pointed it to Prince Jing to hold the sword, it is natural that he has something in his heart. Thinking about it. However, as a sword holder, he should always be by the side of the prince, and there is absolutely no reason for the courtiers to stop him from entering. Lou Zhijian stays with His Royal Highness for a moment every day, and has never had too much contact with anyone in the Hanxiang Palace... ...Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Shu's voice was a little choked up, and she continued to sob in a low voice.

"Yes or no and not my younger sister has the final say. There are many people in this palace. This palace can control the mouths of the palace people, but also can't control their hearts." After finishing speaking, Concubine De turned to look at the emperor, She had a slight smile on her face, like a warm spring breeze, but her words were unyielding and implied deep meaning, "Your Majesty, the concubine is also for the sake of my sister's reputation. As your majesty's concubine, you must know how to avoid suspicion. , It’s really something wrong, it’s true.”

Concubine Shu bowed down and kowtowed, her eyelashes filled with tears, she looked so pitiful, but when she raised her head, she hesitated to speak, and only whispered: "Your Majesty..."

The voice is as clear and shallow as broken jade, like weeping like complaining, like resentment like admiration, and it goes straight to the bottom of my heart.

The emperor remained silent all the time, not because he was unmoved but because he didn't know how to speak for a while.Although he didn't take much care of the affairs of the harem, the little thoughts in the concubine's heart could not escape his eyes.

Concubine De has been resentful towards Concubine Shu all these years, so she often made troubles both openly and secretly.But those are all small tricks that don't come to the surface, they can neither hurt Concubine Shu at all, so even so, he has always just turned a blind eye, as long as Concubine De doesn't go too far, let her go .

After all, he can't move the Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River, and if something happens to Concubine De, the Xie family will definitely take action.

But this time Concubine De's ambitions are a little too big, and her lack of virtue is just an excuse. She just wants to suppress Concubine Shu with an excuse this time, and at the same time set a rule in front of everyone in the harem.

The emperor's heart is clear, the aristocratic family can't be moved, but they can't continue to support her. She gave the concubine De the power but not the status to remind her that everything she has today is the emperor's favor and favor, and the thunder, rain and dew are all the king's favor. Since he It can make the Xie family honorable, and it can also make them have nothing.

He knew very well that no matter how much he favored Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu without the backing of her family would not be able to shake Concubine De's position in the slightest. This was the reason why he had not established a queen in these years.

It's just that Concubine De can't see through it, she only cares about fighting for favor in the harem, she wants to fight for everything.

Forget it, the emperor thought about it again, and he couldn't get away with the trouble this time.In fact, as Concubine Shu said, he asked Lou Chen to "hold the sword" for Gao Xian, and he really meant to train him to be his confidant.

However, Gao Xian was still young, and he came back from the northwest, so he was not very clear about the rules of the palace, and Lou Chen had never been in the palace, so something went wrong, and Concubine De took advantage of it.

If this matter is to be calmed down, Concubine Shu may have to suffer some grievances, the emperor stared at Concubine Shu slightly, with a slight pain in his heart, as if he couldn't bear it.

"Get up first and then talk." The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand, and when he looked at Concubine De again, there was a faint coldness in his eyes: "If that's the case, what do you do?"

Seeing the situation, Concubine De slowed down her expression, her face was stern, and the lord of the harem was full of posture: "Return to your majesty, according to the rules of the harem, my sister will be fined for one year and banned for three months, and handwritten copies will be circulated to the harem ten times. All concubines, it is enough to show punishment."

After hearing the words, Concubine Shu knew that she would not be able to escape punishment, but she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She did not want to implicate Lou Chen, she was silent for a moment, confessed her mistake and knelt down and said: "I know my mistake, and I am willing to be punished."

Gao Yuzheng and Gao Xian secretly whispered their ears and chatted happily, not wanting to look away, but saw his mother and concubine kneeling in front of his father.On the other hand, Concubine De was sitting on a high seat, her brows were unsatisfactory, and she looked arrogant.

"Mother Concubine!" Gao Yu shouted, immediately hurried forward to protect her mother regardless of etiquette, knelt down and asked the sinner, "My child dare to ask Father Emperor and De Concubine Empress, what did my mother concubine do wrong? Why do you have to kneel in public?"

"Concubine Shu's words and deeds are immoral. She allowed Prince Jing's son to walk freely in the Hanxiang Hall with a sword, and regarded the rules of the harem as nothing... Kneeling today is nothing more than reflecting on her own mistakes." Concubine De looked at the still kneeling at the side Concubine Shu glanced at her place, with a smile that was not a smile: "If my sister doesn't want to, it's okay. The matter of left and right is just caused by Lou holding the sword. It's okay to punish Lou holding the sword. But the concubines don't dare to care about the 'holding the sword'. I am afraid that the punishment will have to be decided by His Majesty."

Gao Yu was a little dazed at first, but when he heard the words later, he suddenly understood the reason, and suddenly he was furious, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Concubine De and the First Prince bullied their mother and son, but today they are planning to involve Lou Chen?It's too deceiving!

"Father!" Gao Yu ignored the obstruction of his mother and concubine, and walked a few steps to the emperor, "The son was invited to eat in Hanxiang Hall the day before yesterday, and the son was inconvenient to refuse, so he followed. Father, the son just accepted the invitation. It's just my son's love, if my father misunderstood because of my son's willful actions... Father, please don't punish mother concubine and Lou Zhijian, if you want to punish me, punish my son!"

At this moment, Prince Jing and the others had also rushed over. It was a coincidence that when they arrived, they just heard Concubine De's last sentence about punishing Lou Chen.

King Jing raised his brows slightly when he heard this, and without saying a word, he looked at Lou Chen who was following behind with a little thought.It was also fortunate that Lou Chen stood a little farther away, otherwise he would have been extremely embarrassed at this moment.

However, even so, the high seat is already full of wind and rain.

Gao Xian only listened to half of what he said. Although he didn't understand why, seeing Gao Yu kneeling beside him, he knew that things might not be simple.

He didn't dare to make mistakes in front of the Holy One, and after thinking for a while, he knelt down beside Gao Yu with a plop. He didn't care if he was right or not, and as soon as his nose twitched, he began to cry and admit his mistake: "Did Uncle Huang do something wrong? One of them is in the capital, and he doesn’t understand anything. Luckily, Lou Zhijian was with him and nothing happened. Uncle Huang, if Xian’er really did something wrong, don’t punish Brother Huang, and don’t punish Lou Zhijian. If you are punished, you will be fined..."

Gao Xian didn't have any other skills, but he was very good at selling miserably. He blinked his eyes, and tears fell down in an instant.

Not only that, he took advantage of the clothes to cover Gao Yu's lap, and Gao Yu immediately understood, and began to cry, and while crying, he competed with Gao Xian to admit his mistakes, the brotherly love was very touching.

The emperor got a headache from the two brothers crying and quarreling, waved his hands and said: "Okay, left and right are just small things, why are you crying?"

"Your Majesty." Concubine De saw that the emperor had the idea of ​​making a major event into a minor one, so she immediately chased after her, feeling unwilling to say: "It's not a major event if one person is like this, if everyone else is like this, how will the rules of the harem be established in the future?"

The emperor said angrily: "Do you need me to teach you how to establish the rules of the harem?"

Concubine De's face changed upon hearing this: "I dare not."

"It's not a shame that a majestic lord of the first palace cares about two children."

Concubine De had no choice but to bear the grievances in her heart, she tightened the handkerchief in her hand, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "What the emperor taught me is that my concubine knows her mistake."

"Okay, stop kneeling everyone, get up. The uproar at the family banquet really made others laugh." The emperor looked at Concubine De with a headache, this time he was negligent and gave her a chance Taking advantage of the topic, "The rules of the harem must be established, but legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. Both Xian'er and Yu'er are vying to admit their mistakes. Presumably they also know the rules and will not commit them again. If this is the case, then from tomorrow onwards, Concubine Shu will be fined and grounded." In the elephant hall, let’s lift the ban after winter comes.”

It was only two months before the beginning of winter in August, and the emperor's holy will not only followed the wishes of Concubine De, but also protected the affection of Concubine Shu.Concubine De was no longer aggressive when she saw that the plan had succeeded, and followed the trend.

Concubine Shu knew that His Majesty had the heart to protect her, so this matter will be over after a while, so she didn't say any more, just thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor didn't want to bother more when he saw something happened, so he spared Concubine Shu's gift and ordered him and her to get up.

Gao Yu immediately stepped forward to help her, but she didn't know if she had been kneeling for a long time. As soon as Concubine Shu moved, she felt her legs numb and her head dizzy.

Not wanting to alarm others and let Concubine De see the joke, she secretly gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up with her hands on her hands.But he didn't want his knees to soften, and he fell down before he got up. Gao Yu was short of strength, and he was about to be unable to hold back. At this moment, a man stepped forward quickly, and his eyes were quick and his hands were quick to support the precarious body of the imperial concubine.

This person was none other than His Majesty the Emperor who was furious just now, and Concubine Shu was leaning on the Emperor's arms in an unbiased manner.

When Gao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to check, the concubine Mu had already passed out.And his father, who usually did not change his face before the Taishan collapse, held the slender hands of the man in his arms with a worried expression, and sent the palace staff to prepare the sedan chair back to the palace, and at the same time sent for the imperial physician.

Concubine De saw that the handkerchief was twisted and twisted again and again, her silver teeth were almost crushed.What she hated most was Concubine Shu's fragile appearance, she was very strong, but she always pretended to be sick and tender.

But even though she had already suspected him thousands of times in her heart, she still had to pretend to be very worried, and stepped forward to inquire, but no matter how she heard her tone, she felt a little sour: "Sister, what's wrong? But kneeling for a while is like this, what will happen if you are in poor health when serving His Majesty in the future. Imperial physician, why are you all staring blankly, why don't you invite the imperial physician to come and see..."

"You..." With a bad breath in his heart, Gao Yu almost couldn't control his anger, and hit back at Concubine De's vicious words.However, before the words came out, Gao Yu abruptly swallowed all the words when he saw his father's comforting eyes.

With nowhere to vent his anger, he had no choice but to turn around and stare at his concubine mother, as if he was about to cry or not.

Fortunately, the palace people came quickly, and Concubine Shu was sent back to Hanxiang Hall in a short while.

After Concubine Shu fainted, the emperor had no intention of continuing the banquet, and left in a hurry after arranging a few words.After His Majesty left, the rest of the people naturally had no intention of staying, and the banquet broke up after a while.

Gao Yu: Okay, let's see if she dares to castrate her!

The First Prince [shivering]: What does it have to do with me, I am innocent...
