Chapter 787: Concubine

"Concubine Xian?" In the mind of Emperor Jingming, an image that described withered, like a female ghost appeared.
He never thought that the second matter would be related to Concubine Xian. After all, Concubine Xian's body is not as good as the day, and it is really not like a person who has the energy to make trouble again.
"What does it have to do with Xian Fei?"
Pan Hai looked down and said: "Ten years ago, Xiao Dengzi was just a small servant in the imperial tea house. One day he accidentally overturned a glazed lamp and was so scared that he was thrown into the lake. He happened to be hit by the concubine Xian. The concubine helped him through the difficulties."
Emperor Jingming frowned upon hearing: "Is there anyone who knew about this incident?"
Generally speaking, a palace like this kind of person who was kindly favored by a certain empress, as long as the kindness spreads, the concubines of other palaces are not happy to use it, but ten years later, Deng Gonggong became the tea room of Chunhua Palace. The steward.
Concubine Ning was the head of the Chunhua Palace, and she had long been appointed concubine. If she knew about this, she wouldn't want to use Duke Deng for just a word.
"Concubine doesn't know about this!" Concubine Ning said in anger.
There are still concubines in her palace?
Think about a person who has been favored by a good concubine who is in charge of tea, water, melons and fruits in her palace every day, and Concubine Ning vomits to death.
Emperor Jingming glanced at Concubine Ning and twisted his eyebrows unhappy.
He can tolerate the unreasonable troubles of his concubines on weekdays, but that doesn't mean he is willing to endure it now.
To put it bluntly, the usual forbearance is not to be afraid, but to pity the harem woman to be less free than his emperor.
But this kind of patience is ultimately limited when it comes to business.
Concubine Ning bit her lip and said nothing.
Pan Hai replied: "Except for the concubine Xian, there should be only one insider named Xiao Zhuozi, who was the one who went to Yuhua Palace with Xiao Dengzi to give Ling pumpkin fruit."
Ling pumpkin fruit?
Emperor Jingming moved his eyebrows, his eyes revealed doubts.
Pan Hai intimately explained: "Lingnan paid tribute to some lychees that year. You once instructed the Imperial Tea House to send these precious fruits to the ladies..."
Is there such a thing?
Emperor Jing Ming blinked.
I didn’t expect that he was so generous ten years ago. If he changed to now, he would probably eat it himself...
The queen and Concubine Ning remembered.
Lychee is only produced in Lingnan and other places, but it is not easy to keep it thousands of miles away from the capital. The emperor is not an extravagant person, so even with their status, it is not possible to eat lychee every year.
Because it is not easy to get, it is very impressive.
Pan Hai continued: "Little Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi went to Yuquan Palace to send lychees together. The two of them were curious about the smell of lychees, and secretly brought out a litchi to smell it. I didn't expect that Xiao Dengzi would take one when he missed it. The lychee was overturned, and a half of the lychee rolled into the lake, making Dengzi anxious to throw it into the lake."
"How did the concubine Xian know?" Emperor Jingming forgot about Xiao Zhuozi for a while and asked about Concubine Xian instead.
"It happened by coincidence. Empress Concubine Xian happened to come out for a walk and ran into this scene. Not only did Empress Concubine Xian avoid Xiao Dengzi's crime, she also concealed it for him as if she had received lychees. This is between Empress Xian Consort and Xiao Dengzi The connection..." Pan Hai said dryly, and finally made the matter clear.
After hearing this, Emperor Jingming asked, "Are these questions from the little Zhuozi?"
A weird flashed across Pan Hai, and he replied, "Little Zhuozi died of illness nine years ago."
Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows: "Since only Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi know about Concubine Xian, from whom did you know?"
Pan Haichong winked, and that person hurriedly stood in front of Emperor Jingming.
When Emperor Jingming fixed his eyes, it was Pan Hai's apprentice Xiaole.
On such occasions, people who are very clever and happily inevitably feel a little nervous, bowing their heads and saying: "Return to the emperor, the slave and maidservant told Master."
"How did you know?"
Xiao Lezi took a quick look at Pan Hai, calmed his mind, and explained: "The slave servant was a little tired after finishing the errands, so he squinted against the rockery for a while, but he didn't expect to hear an exclamation..."
The rockery in the palace is so strange that it is difficult to pay attention to people passing by when you choose a depression to hide.
Speaking of laziness at the time, Xiao Lezi was a little embarrassed: "The slave and maid later saw that the concubine appeared, so she didn’t even dare to show up. After that, she didn’t mention it to others, and gradually forgot. The slave and maidservant suddenly remembered the people that Deng Gonggong had a connection with, so she told Master."
As he said, he took a peek at Yu Jin from the corner of his light, and thought that if it was the concubine that instigated Deng Gonggong, is this the sky net that King Yan said is magnificent and not leaking?
And Yu Jin has become expressionless since he heard that Deng Gonggong is related to Xianfei, which makes people hard to see the slightest clue.
Emperor Jingming glanced at the crowd, and said coldly: "The concubine Chuanxian will come to the Spring Palace."
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Concubine Xian appeared at the entrance of Chunhua Palace, stopped slightly, and was supported by the maidservant to Jingming Emperor.
"I have seen the emperor, queen." The concubine Xian bowed her knees, panting.
The empress dowager has been persuaded by Emperor Jingming to enter the main hall of Chunhua Palace to rest. At this moment, she is not in the same place with Emperor Jingming and others, but she avoided the concubine Xian from paying one more ceremony.
Seeing the concubine Xian with a terrible expression, who was about to close her breath at any time, Emperor Jing Ming sighed secretly.
Is it possible for Concubine Xian to be like this?
It shouldn't be, the images of the concubine and the concubine are not quite the same.
Don't think about it, just ask.
Emperor Jingming asked with a calm face, "Do you know what I called you?"
Concubine Xian shook her head: "I don't know."
"You recognize someone first. Pan Hai—"
Pan Hai stretched out his hand: "The concubine Xian, please here."
Pan Hai led the concubine to Deng Gonggong's corpse and pointed out his hand: "The concubine Xian has a look, is she denying this person?"
Concubine Xian glanced at her, her face pale immediately, and her heart faltered.
"Emperor--" The maidservant who was supporting the concubine exclaimed in shock.
Emperor Jing Ming: "..."
Concubine Xian returned to Emperor Jingming with a pale face that threatened Emperor Jingming. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Concubine Xian, do you recognize that person?"
Concubine Xian did not hesitate and said, "I don't know my concubine."
Emperor Jingming’s face instantly froze: "Don’t know? Concubine Xian, do you know what the crime of bullying the emperor is?"
The concubine Xian looked at Emperor Jingming in amazement, with a dazed expression: "Why did the emperor say this? The concubine really doesn't know that person. Doesn't he seem to be an ordinary servant?"
"Ordinary servant?" Emperor Jingming sneered, "Isn't it the person you used to be kind to?"
"Shi En?" Concubine Xian became more and more dazed, the sweat from her temples made her look very weak.
Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai.
Pan Hai understood, and pointed out the intersection between Concubine Xian and Duke Deng.
"Concubine Xian, what can you say?"
Concubine Xian laughed suddenly, and smiled somewhat sadly: "The emperor believes that the concubine is the master only based on this? That sister Ning is also the master of the Chunhua Palace, and has been the master of Xiao Dengzi for many years. Is it possible that the concubine is more suspect than Concubine Ning? Still big? The emperor, you are so unfair to your concubine!"
Emperor Jingming said coldly: "You are both suspected, but you just lied."
Concubine Xian took the veil to wipe off the sweat and calmly said: "The concubine did not lie."
