Chapter 127 Weighing the Pros and Cons

Su Yiqing smiled faintly and said, "A few days ago, I saw a sentence in an idle book. I was dealing with the scene at this time, 'I am not afraid of a wolf-like opponent, but I am afraid of a pig-like teammate.' It's a pity that General Zhao has made great achievements and is such a hero, but he has ruined his reputation for a lifetime because of a wife he had to marry. I don't know what kind of evil General Zhao did in his previous life."

"Dare you scold me?" Lian Baozhen had a fierce personality and hated people the opposite of her the most, especially at this moment, Su Yiqing could still laugh. She suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, approaching Su Yiqing, as if she could punch her fists at any time.

"Calm down, Princess Baozhen, you have been married to Dajing for so long, and your temper should be restrained. It's not just you and me here. If you really want to do something, do you think there will be someone else to do perjury for you except Shuangxi?" Su Yiqing said as she took two steps back, widened the distance between the two, and looked at the two little palace maids.

Lian Baozhen probably suffered a lot during this period. At least she learned a lesson and suppressed her control, just said, "Let's go and see, see how long you can be arrogant," he said.

Su Yiqing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I didn't worry about ghosts knocking on the door when I didn't do anything bad. I have one thing to ask Princess Baozhen. In your mind, is General Zhao a shameless person who seduces good women?"

"Of course not, my husband, you are shameless." Even Baozhen blurted out without thinking.

Su Yiqing shook her head and stopped talking.

Lian Baozhen muttered, "I must let the Queen Mother chop off your lewd woman's head."

Su Yiqing looked at Shuangxi, who was kneeling on the ground and motionless, and said softly: "Have I done it? Heaven knows the earth knows, I know myself, Shuangxi also knows, poor Princess Baozhen, you are still using it."

Lian Baozhen said angrily: "What do you mean?"

Shuangxi suddenly said, "Princess Baozhen, Princess Ningfu is disturbing your mind. Don't believe what she said."

This girl is indeed clever. It seems that her intuition to look at people is quite accurate. At the beginning, I thought this girl was not loyal. I thought it would be okay to just act like an ordinary maid to serve her. Su Yiqing sighed in her heart, but smiled softly: "It's not terrible to be stupid. What's scary is those stupid, who are self-righteous and smart, and they have nothing to do with each other. What's the point of saying this in advance now? Shuangxi, you are a little clever, but not enough. The princess likes to be alone at night. The maid only serves outside. I don't have any evidence of the days you said. In fact, it's not just those days, but most of the time. Do you tell you this way? I'll pick out these days? I'll boldly guess that these days are also when General Zhao's whereabouts are unknown. Do you think that you can confirm your crimes with this?"

"Princess, you did something wrong yourself, why bother to argue?" Shuangxi lowered his head. It made people unable to see the expression on his face, but his voice was trembling.

Su Yiqing smiled and said, "There is a huge flaw in this matter. I am a woman in the inner house. I can naturally be alone leisurely. General Zhao is the pillar of the country and is busy with business. Is he going to have that free time to be alone all day without proof? A man does things outside of a woman, and a woman cannot ask about it. I have never asked about the matter outside of the prince, but the matter is prioritized. At this moment, General Zhao will not hide it. Even if he can't tell you and me, can he dare to hide it from the emperor? Anyway, I have never done it myself, and I am not afraid of being asked about it."

Lian Baozhen's face turned a little pale, and her eyes looked at Shuangxi were suspicious. She was the master, and her thinking pattern was that the servants had to obey unconditionally. However, Shuangxi betrayed Su Yiqing. Even if there were great difficulties, this was not the case. The servant who betrayed the master should be punished and died.

Seeing the suspicion in Lian Baozhen's eyes, Su Yiqing continued: "I don't know what this maid said to me, but I think it's nothing more than abuse. Princess Baozhen, look at the maid's hands, so white and tender, without a calluse at all. I guess even if there is any injury on her body, it will be caused in the past two days. Is it trustworthy for such a maid to be abused?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Baozhen stepped forward and grabbed Shuangxi's hand. As Su Yiqing said, it was even whiter and tenderer than hers.

"Are you a slut telling the truth?" Lian Baozhen grabbed Shuangxi and did not dare to attack Su Yiqing, but she was still not afraid of teaching a slave a lesson.

"Princess Baozhen, when it reaches this point, this maid repents and says that she is telling a lie, is she still alive? Only by biting the preface to death can she have a glimmer of chance." Su Yiqing said coldly, "In addition, I want to ask if you told the maid that General Zhao was not in the mansion? I guess it would not be, so how did this maid say the date so well? To be honest, I am used to being alone, especially in the evening, there is no maid in the room to serve you in close proximity. The so-called days when no one proves whereabouts are not only these three days, but this maid just clings to these three days and says, and I am also very curious that a small maid can easily approach you and gain trust in just a few words. Is it because Princess Baozhen that you hate me so much and want to put it quickly, or for other reasons. No matter what, people who grew up in the fight should not trust others easily. Has anyone said something by your side?"

Lian Baozhen's face changed completely, and Su Yiqing said everything in a word.

She is now beginning to doubt everything, but at this point, like Shuangxi, she has no room for backlash and can only hold on to the end.

At this time, several eunuchs came in and said, "Prince Baozhen, the Empress Dowager is invited."

Lian Baozhen put aside everything just now and followed the eunuch with his head raised. The eunuch asked Shuangxi to follow him. After Lian Baozhen left, one of the eunuchs said respectfully: "According to the Queen's oral order, Princess Ningfu was wronged today. Please go back to the mansion to rest first. The Queen will give the princess a fair future."

When it comes to Empress Xu, Su Yiqing is not saying anything. Although she only met one time, she could feel that Empress Xu was not the kind of perfunctory person who was confused. Since she came forward to talk to her, she would definitely take the matter to the end. She would go back and wait for the news.

On the other side, in the palace, the emperor was walking back and forth anxiously. After learning the report of the eunuch, he couldn't help but feel an unusual atmosphere. He both annoyed Queen Mother Chen's confusion and hated Lian Baozhen for causing trouble. This matter seemed to be unable to be covered up. What should we do? Zhao Boyang was a general of the current dynasty and had no reputation. Lian Yufeng was a foreign prince, representing the dignity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he could not be wronged at will. He wanted to complain to others without saying a word and immediately ordered people to drag them out to be beheaded. But now the complaint was not an ordinary lady, but Zhao Boyang's wife and Lian Yufeng's sister.

Empress Dowager Chen was encouraged to interrogate him after a few words. He had no time to stop him, so he could only ask the eunuch to pay attention to the development of the situation. The situation was better than he expected. It seemed that it was a false accusation by a spoiled slave, while Lian Baozhen was stupid and believed the words of the evil slave. It was not difficult to turn this matter into small.

However, Empress Xu came and told him something that made him even more trouble.

His favorite sister, Princess Yun, seemed to be involved in this matter.

After walking a few steps, the emperor suddenly asked the queen: "Zi Tong is sure?"

Empress Xu said calmly: "Unless investigation, I dare not be 100% sure. I just heard from the little eunuch that Princess Ningfu and Princess Baozhen had a conversation. After a little analysis, it was concluded that there must be a mastermind behind this matter. I think that Princess Ningfu and General Zhao's affair were purely false. Most of the guards in Princess Ningfu's mansion were assigned by the palace. I sent someone to ask that Princess Ningfu has been living in seclusion and rarely leaves the mansion. The Princess' mansion was given by the emperor. It had been renovated before and there was no secret passage. The little maid said that Princess Ningfu was missing in those few days, but in fact she was just alone. I have a deep understanding of this."

Speaking of this, the emperor's face showed a bit of guilt. Since Concubine Yun entered the palace, he has neglected the queen a lot. He and the queen are married to him, and he also respects the queen very much. However, in front of the queen, he always feels uncomfortable. Only in front of Concubine Yun, who is dependent on others, can he feel like being an emperor and a man...

But he was not a foolish and lustful king. He knew who could help him at critical moments. For example, when this matter was involved in Concubine Yun, he couldn't help but have some doubts about the queen.

The queen said lightly: "I just thought of the worst situation. If the emperor doesn't believe it, just investigate it. General Zhao can command thousands of troops and has many advisers. It is easy to investigate a mere crime of false accusation. But what should I do after it is found out? This involves the powerful and powerful countries of both countries, so I'm afraid what if... what should I do then?"

"Then Yizitong see, how to solve this problem?" the emperor said in embarrassment, "General Zhao and Prince Ding are waiting outside the hall, so we must give an explanation as soon as possible."

Empress Xu looked at the emperor for a long time before she arrived: "I am a woman, what I said may not be correct."

"Zi Tong is humble, Zi Tong's strategy is better than that of men in the world..." The emperor said a series of heartfelt words.

Empress Xu said in disdain in her heart: "Since the emperor asked, I will say it, but the emperor must do everything as I said, not to be less, otherwise I will fail and I will still be responsible for a slander, and I will not be able to bear it."

"Okay, okay, do whatever you say." The emperor's patience was almost worn out, and he didn't even pay much attention to the title.

Empress Xu stopped when she saw this, "First of all, Princess Baozhen slandered Princess Ning Fu and General Zhao. As long as she interrogated the maid named Shuangxi, she would definitely be able to find out the truth. This matter must be severely punished. However, due to the friendly relationship between Dajing and Dazhou, the victim of this matter is the brother and sister-in-law of Princess Baozhen, so she will be handed over to the Ding Prince's Mansion for handling. General Zhao is a pillar of the country. Princess Baozhen's virtue is unmatched. In order to take into account the dignity of both countries, Princess Baozhen can come up with a complete solution by himself." (To be continued.
