Chapter 353 Crying
The moonlight is cold and the night is hazy.
In the deep and secluded palace, two rows of eunuchs holding palace lanterns surrounded a scarlet figure walking slowly, quickly clearing the way ahead.
Wherever he went, the palace maids and eunuchs were all so scared that they knelt on the ground. Even the imperial guards on duty in the palace put down their weapons and half-knelt in salute when they saw him!
The whole process was so quiet that it was almost deathly silent. Seeing this tightly guarded and airtight palace, it was as if nothing existed wherever the man set foot!
In the Qianqing Palace.
The lights illuminated the hall in every detail. On the dragon bed, Concubine Gao was lying in the arms of an old man, crying inconsolably.
"Your Majesty, you must do something for me. I was beaten today. Look at my face. It's almost ruined. My body is covered with bruises. If your Majesty doesn't do something for me today, I will not live!"
The emperor had a tired look on his face. Anyone would be in a bad mood if they were woken up in the middle of the night. But facing his beloved concubine who he had favored for many years, although his face was not good, he still patiently asked with dignity, "Speak clearly, who hit my beloved concubine? You are so brave. Tell me if it was the queen or Concubine Li. I will definitely make the decision for my beloved concubine!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Gao wiped her tears and said, "It was the wife of Governor Ning, her name is Xiao Tu, she beat me personally!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "How could the Dugong's wife hit you? Isn't she outside the palace? How could you run into her in the harem?"
Concubine Gao said angrily, "I had her summoned into the palace today because I saw that many wives of officials disliked her. I felt sorry for her, so I wanted to call her into the palace to comfort her. I never thought that this woman was lowly and crude, and behaved erratically. I just said a few words to her, and she actually attacked me. Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for me!"
When the emperor heard her say this, not only did he not feel distressed at all, but he questioned her, "Why did you summon her into the palace for no reason? What does it have to do with you if she doesn't like you? Don't think I'm a fool. The Dugong's wife would be crazy to hit you for no reason. Tell me, why did you call her here?"
Seeing this, Concubine Gao's aggrieved face immediately put on a pitiful look, "Your Majesty, how can you say that? I am the one who is being beaten now. Yes, I asked her to come because I had my own little thoughts, but it was because she was Ning Dugong's person, so I wanted to win her over for Your Majesty. I didn't expect that she would be ungrateful, and she even ignored Your Majesty and beat me up."
The emperor's face turned unhappy when he heard this. It was obvious that Concubine Gao's words made him think of something, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Gao immediately continued, "Your Majesty, Xiao Tu is a lowly person. She doesn't take Your Majesty seriously. Who is she relying on? Your Majesty, you know it in your heart. Without Duke Ning's support, how dare she do this?"
After saying this, seeing that the emperor was silent with a sullen face, he continued, "The left prime minister and his gang are useless now. Seeing that Ning Cuo's power is unstoppable, and seeing that his wife now dares to hit your imperial concubine, you can imagine how arrogant she has become. If you don't stop it, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The emperor looked at her after hearing this. He was not stupid enough to not hear that Concubine Gao was deliberately provoking her, but he obviously didn't care about it. He just said, "Then according to my beloved concubine, what do you want to do?"
