Chapter 108 A loud slap in the face
Chapter 108 A loud slap in the face
"Xie! How insolent!" Before Concubine Deng could say anything, the Emperor saw her scolding everyone in the room except the Empress. No matter how much he liked this woman, he couldn't help but get angry.
Xie Yuzhen was not afraid at all: "I have been wronged, should I bear it?" Her expression suddenly darkened, and she withdrew all her sharpness, as if she was heartbroken, and saluted to the emperor carelessly, "It's because I don't have the wisdom to recognize pearls, I didn't know that Shen Xiaoyi is your beloved. Just because of a few words from her, I have to run back and forth with a big belly, worried and frightened, and even can't keep my own residence!"
"I'm not doing this for her. There's clearly something wrong with Shi Mang in your palace!" Seeing that Xie Yuzhen started to make trouble, the emperor also felt a headache.
"With my background, how could I have the means to control the person that Your Majesty has 'carefully selected' for me!" Xie Yuzhen said in a strange tone and took a step forward.
After going through so much trouble, in the end, all the witnesses were killed, and he was framed for nothing, becoming a pawn of that person to confuse the public... Xie Yuzhen glanced at the emperor who was angered by him. This man didn't care much about Wang Xuanshi. He probably blamed her for hiding her pregnancy and taking medicine without permission, which caused damage to the dragon fetus. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged out the investigation so slowly. If he paid more attention, even if he couldn't catch the person behind the scenes, he could force her to lose her composure and reveal more flaws!
Xie Yuzhen began to think about what he should do to gain more benefits if he had Shi Mang in his hands. If he rashly confronted the mastermind now, it would be difficult for him to protect himself. Even with the help of the system, it would still be a big trouble.
But if she were given to the emperor or empress, maybe she could be exchanged for something useful.
"Do you really have to argue with me about this?" The emperor felt that Xie Yu was not as cute as before. He liked unruly and temperamental women, which would make him more interested in conquering them. But if the woman was too unruly, the emperor would think she was disobedient and disrespectful.
In the past, Xie Yuzhen had known how to provoke him very well, but now, the woman who had made up her mind just curled her lips and said, "Even if I pester you, Your Majesty knows what kind of person I am. I was wrongly accused and framed, but as my husband, you didn't even investigate carefully. You suspected me based on a few words from others. I didn't give them a few slaps in the face, which is already giving you face!"
Her emotions had always been stable, but at the same time she discovered that she was harboring anger towards the emperor in her heart, and she quickly figured out the source of this anger - it was the same look that the emperor gave her at the beginning, as if he was willing to cover up her crimes.
Does the emperor think he is very affectionate?
Very tolerant?
No, he just didn't bother to care about the fights between cats in the harem. As long as the claws didn't reach his face, he didn't care whether Xie Yuzhen, his most beloved cat, was really innocent.
Everyone present, including the virtuous concubine who had just arrived at the scene, was stunned by Xie Yuzhen's outrageous words and actions, which involved risking the lives of all his nine clans.
When had the emperor ever been scolded like this? In shock and anger, his chest began to heave violently. But before he could react, he saw Xie Yuzhen take another big step forward. Under the emperor's surprised gaze, she raised her hand, swung with all her strength, and slapped the emperor hard in the face without hesitation.
"Xie!"
"His Majesty!"
"what!!!"
Amid the loud slapping sounds, everyone screamed. Xie Yuzhen saw the emperor's face turn hideous, and a pair of eyes full of anger looked at her, but she lost all the weird look on her face, revealing an innocent and playful smile, and silently recited the file.
The sound disappeared immediately.
Everything she saw turned into black and white. The emperor's anger and the crowd's fear were all frozen on everyone's faces in a funny way.
Xie Yuzhen saw Wen Baolin standing in front of Shen Xiaoyi, but Shen Xiaoyi pushed her away and rushed towards the emperor. Concubine Xian threw away her usual dignity and elegance and ran towards the emperor in panic, while the Queen...she bent her knees and stretched out her hands to the emperor, as if she was going to kneel down and hug his legs to stop his next move.
And the emperor...he covered his face, raised one hand, and opened his lips, not knowing what he wanted to say.
The figures retreated quickly.
In the pictures that flashed by one after another, Xie Yuzhen saw Concubine Wang falling down holding her stomach, and also saw the three people coming in with snacks, talking and laughing. Then, before several concubines came in, a maid stealthily opened the door.
The black and white image was moving backwards faster and faster. Xie Yuzhen suddenly felt a slight pain in her eyes. She couldn't help but close her eyes, but suddenly she heard a crisp sound of something breaking in her ears.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the black and white picture that kept flashing in front of her suddenly cracked into a gap. The gap was pitch black, but it disappeared quickly, leaving Xie Yuzhen no time to think about what it was.
It seemed like only a moment had passed, yet it also seemed like a long time had passed. Xie Yuzhen felt the warmth of the sun all over her body again. She stood at the door of Jinghua Building again. At the last moment before leaving that black and white world, she seemed to hear a low sigh.
Xie Yuzhen felt that the hairs on her body stood up. She took a deep breath silently. This was the time when Chunfen told her that Wang Xianshi had miscarried in Baosi Pavilion. The next thing she did was to ask the palace guards at the gate...
Xie Yuzhen waved towards the Spring Equinox.
"What are your orders, madam?"
"Call Baoxi, Baolu, and all the palace people." Xie Yuzhen turned around and looked at Xia Zhi who was holding Xie Yi's hand. "Take Tan Nu and go to rest first. If anyone from His Majesty or His Majesty comes to ask questions later, answer them truthfully."
"Mom, is something going to happen? You look very angry." Xie Yi gently pulled Xie Yuzhen's little finger and shook it soothingly.
Xie Yuzhen held his little hand in return and smiled gently, "Mom is not angry, Mom is very happy, you be good, Xia Zhi will take care of you."
Xie Yi nodded and was carried away by Xia Zhi.
While they were talking, the palace servants arrived one after another. Chunfen, like last time, was a little excited and a little reserved as she lectured on behalf of Xie Yuzhen. As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yuzhen looked at one of the palace servants in a light yellow dress and asked, "This is Shi Mang, right?"
Shi Mang was stunned for a moment, not knowing why her master suddenly called her name. She immediately stepped out of the line and knelt down: "Your servant Shi Mang, I will wait for your orders."
Xie Yuzhen glanced at her calmly and said, "Nothing, the flowers on your skirt are pretty."
Her face still had the kind and gentle expression she had when she was comforting the child, which made Shi Mang feel relaxed. Just as she was about to say something humble, she saw the gentle woman in front of her said in an extremely cold tone that did not match her expression: "Arrest this traitorous servant!"
