Chapter 105 Dowry Collar
The others looked at Xie Yu, whose facial expressions changed instantly and whose body was filled with anger. They all sat up straight and looked at each other, not daring to breathe, and no one dared to speak.
high position
Lin Junxue watched this scene expressionlessly.
Gao Cheng, who was standing next to Xie Yu, looked at Xie Yu cautiously and sighed in his heart.
Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet personally organized by Concubine Xi was ruined.
Sun Manrou saw Xie Yu's changed expression and couldn't let go of this good opportunity to continue to fan the flames.
"Your Majesty, the necklace worn by the leading dancer was the dowry gift of the Empress Dowager. The necklace has been well preserved and treasured in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How could it appear on a dancer of lowly status? If the Empress Dowager knew about it, she would be furious. It is a crime of disrespect."
Some concubines who had just entered the palace and were unfamiliar with this thing finally understood why the emperor was so angry after hearing what Sun Manrou said.
This is too absurd. How could the Queen Mother's precious dowry appear on the neck of a lowly dancer?
If this gets out, where will the royal family save its reputation?
How could the Queen Mother, who was far away worshipping Buddha at Yushan, save her dignity? This matter was really serious.
Today's Mid-Autumn family dinner has come to an end. As long as nothing happens, Concubine Xi will be considered to have done a good job.
Now that this has happened, everything is ruined, and we have to endure the emperor's wrath.
Everyone had different thoughts, no one dared to say anything, waiting for Xie Yu to speak.
Xie Yu's eyes were as cold as ice, and Chen Xier stood up in a panic, her voice was chilling.
"Imperial Concubine Xi, you hosted a great family dinner. Tell me why the dowry of the Queen Mother has been kept in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but now it is on this dancer. Tell me..."
The last word frightened everyone
The emperor is really angry this time. Who can withstand the wrath of thunder?
The dancer was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically. She knew nothing.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I am just a little dancer. The clothes and attire I wear are arranged by the eunuchs in the palace. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."
Gao Cheng glanced at him, and the young talent below immediately stepped forward and took off the collar from the dancer's neck.
He carefully took it off, put it away carefully, and stood aside.
This was the first time Chen Xier's face looked so pale, and it was not fake.
She looked at Xie Yu, who, with the help of Zi Shuang, stepped forward and knelt on the ground. Her hands on both sides were shaking slightly, and she no longer had the calmness she used to have.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know why the Empress Dowager's dowry ended up on this dancer. I don't know. Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Someone must have framed me. How could they do that?"
Chen Xier's words did not make Xie Yu's expression better, but even colder.
Seeing this, Sun Manrou said, "Your Majesty, please listen to what Concubine Xi said. Who framed her? Everyone in the harem knows that Concubine Xi has been assisting the six palaces recently and has done everything herself. She spent countless efforts on this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet and did not allow anyone to interfere. Now that something has gone wrong, Concubine Xi keeps saying who framed her. I really think it is unreasonable when I hear this."
Chen Xier's face turned even paler, and she turned to stare at Sun Manrou who was adding fuel to the fire.
Sun Manrou looked at her unwillingly.
When Chen Xier saw Xie Yu’s increasingly cold eyes, she became completely panicked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please look into this matter. I really didn't know. Please let me investigate this matter to prove my innocence."
Chen Xier bit her lip tightly. Who was framing her? After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out who it was.
She had been very careful in everything these days, just to avoid any mistakes, but now someone had managed to take advantage of her?
First, Chen Xier thought that the person who wanted to harm her was Lin Junxue, but she was on guard against Zhonghe Palace every day.
Lin Junxue has been staying in her own palace all the time. Not to mention interfering in palace affairs, she rarely even shows up. Who else could it be?
Just when everyone was afraid to speak, Lin Junxue slowly stood up.
Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue. Everyone thought that if the Queen just added insult to injury at this moment, Concubine Xi would be in trouble.
Lin Junxue looked at the angry Xie Yu and said softly, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Xi said does not make sense in this matter. Maybe someone really framed her. Concubine Xi has always been cautious. She has handled palace affairs very well during her time as the assistant manager of the six palaces. Today, the necklace on the dancer's neck was the empress dowager's dowry. How could it appear here inexplicably? It is indeed very strange. By the way, Concubine Xi, haven't these dancers been managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? In my opinion, if you want to prove your innocence, Concubine Xi, you should summon the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and interrogate them carefully. Perhaps it is because the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not doing their job well that such a mistake occurred."
What Lin Junxue said at this moment left everyone confused.
They really couldn't understand the Queen. She was actually speaking for Imperial Concubine Xi?
Sun Manrou looked at Lin Junxue with anger, thinking that Lin Junxue was crazy and had really forgotten how Chen Xier treated her in the past?
Now, the Queen is actually pleading for Chen Xier in front of the Emperor. It's ridiculous!
Chen Xier suddenly looked at Lin Junxue who was standing there calmly.
Lin Junxue knew clearly that Zhang Fufa was her man. This time, if she wanted to avoid the emperor's wrath, she could only put the blame on Zhang Fufa.
In that case, she would have personally killed a general beside her, and she would have no one left to use in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Chen Xier gritted her teeth.
Now, she had no other choice but to give up Zhang Fufa to save herself.
Chen Mi understood clearly and looked at Lin Junxue. The Queen's move was really cruel. It seemed like she was begging for mercy, but in fact she was forcing Concubine Xi to break her own wings with her own hands.
Under such circumstances, Concubine Xi had no choice but to protect herself and give up Zhang Fufa, otherwise she would inevitably lose the emperor's favor.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue, and his anger subsided a little, thinking that Chen Xier might really be being plotted against.
Xie Yu said, "The queen knows the general situation, so what she said is not impossible."
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Gao Cheng, who in the Ministry of Internal Affairs helped Concubine Xi to organize this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, was it Xiao Cheng or Zhang Fufa?"
When everyone heard this, they knew that the emperor was going to hold the Imperial Household Department accountable.
Everyone in the harem knows that Zhang Fufa is following Concubine Xi. There will be a good show to watch today.
Gao Cheng took a step forward
"Your Majesty, it's Zhang Fufa"
Xie Yu said coldly, "Go, bring Zhang Fufa up to me, you go in person."
Gao Cheng received the order, withdrew immediately, and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to summon Zhang Fufa
Xie Yu looked at the kneeling Chen Xier again, but did not say anything to ask her to get up.
Chen Xier felt the gazes from all directions and clenched her teeth.
Lin Junxue said again, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is still kneeling, let her stand up first. We have to wait for Zhang Fufa from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and ask about the matter before we can tell you."
