Chapter 014 A False Surprise

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows with a smile and repeated what Shangguan Yue had just said in a low voice, "Weaving Yuan?"

Shangguan Yue replied neither humble nor arrogantly, "My concubine saw that the fruit at tonight's banquet was also quite fresh, and the emperor also gave some to my concubines. I heard that the noble concubine's sister angered the emperor and was banned by the emperor and could not take a step out of the weaving court. Thinking to herself, the noble sister could not attend the family banquet, so she wanted to take some fresh fruit to honor her noble sister. The concubine went to put down the fruit, had a few words with the noble concubine, and then came back.

Chu Tian smiled suspiciously, "Do you know the noble concubine of Nangong?"

Shangguanyue's clear eyes looked at Ling Zhaoyi next to Chu Tianxiao, and her pearly voice sounded again, "Your Majesty, do you remember that I almost starved to death on the street before entering the palace? At that time, it was the noble concubine of Nangong who helped and gave 100 taels of silver to her concubine, so that she could survive in front of the emperor to replace her father Zhaoxue. A few days ago, when the noble concubine's sister entered the palace, the little prince happened to be ill, and the minister and concubine failed to visit the palace ceremony in time because she had to take care of the little prince, so she could not know that the benefactor of that year was actually a nobleman who was kind to her concubine.

Chu Tianxiao did not ask about Shangguan Yue's words again, and on his handsome face, the beautiful and narrow Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at her thoughtfully and didn't say anything for a long time.

For a while, the whole hall of Xueyuan became quiet, but the people standing here had their own minds.

Ling Linger still smiled on the surface, but her delicate jade hand had wrinkled the silk in her hand, and she looked at Shangguan Yue viciously and was thinking about how to continue to open her mouth.

And all this fell into Chu Tianxiao's eyes.

Chu Tianxiao looked at Ling Linger's familiar and strange face. When would Ling Linger, who was naive and did not know how to hook up, become such a woman?

Chu Heng, the little prince in his arms, has only noticed Huang Ama, whom he has not seen for a long time. At a young age, how can he know the changes in the house now? As long as Huang Ama's heart is a little harsher, then someone will fall to the ground tonight.

The little prince Chu Heng looked back and saw Shangguan Yue. He struggled excitedly and slid down from Chu Tian's smiling arms, trembling slightly, and staggering in the direction of Shangguan Yue. His childish and innocent voice sounded, "Mother! Mother! Hug! Hug!"

Shangguanyue looked at the little prince Chu Heng running in her direction with a bright smile, and quickly ran down and hugged the little prince who came to her. Her eyes couldn't help showing her love for the little prince.

When Chu Tianxiao saw that the little prince Chu Heng loved Shangguan Yue so much, he also had some plans in his heart, because adults can lie, but only children over two years old will not lie.

When Ling Linger brought him to this snow garden, the little prince Chu Heng was asleep. She said that she liked the little prince very much, so she picked him up. The little prince in her sleep was suddenly hugged and woke up. As soon as he saw Ling Linger, he cried desperately and struggled desperately in Ling Linger's arms. Then, he reached out and took over the little prince Chu Heng from Ling Linger's hand, and he stopped crying.

When Chu Tianxiao hugged the little prince, Ling Linger pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, how can there be bruises on the little prince's body?"

He was stunned, and the next moment, he lifted the clothes on Heng'er's arm and found that there were red and swollen bruises on his small arm, and there was a faint smell of ointment on the swollen wound.

As soon as the slaves in the room saw that the little prince had suffered such injuries, they knelt down in fear one by one, as if they were chilling.

With this discovery, Chu Tian looked at the slaves of the whole Xueyuan with angrily. He shouted coldly, "Where's your master!"

Shangyue's personal maidservant replied in a trembling voice as usual, "When I returned to the emperor, the master just went out with a blue fruit. As for where to go, the master didn't let me follow."

"Go! Send someone to get her back!"

Xizi heard the emperor's anger and gave a promise. He was about to go out to look for Shangguan Zhaoyi. As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Shangguan Zhaoyi coming back from afar. As long as she came back in time, the matter would be much easier. He quickly informed Shangguan Zhaoyi to come back.

Then, the scene just happened.

Chu Tian glanced at Ling Linger with a smile. How could she know that Henger had an injury? This is incredible. Do you mean...

Or, some people will not be too spoiled after all, otherwise they will forget their own skills.

He pretended to be careless and asked Shangguan Yue, "Does the beloved concubine know that Heng'er is injured?"

Shangguan Yue answered truthfully, "I know."

When Ling Linger heard this, she couldn't help it and aggressively said, "Since Sister Shangguan knew it, why didn't you report it? Sister..."

Ling Linger's clever words did not go on, that is, to stop.

Shangyue picked up the little prince, smiled indifferently, and said quickly, "Because the little prince suffered this injury tonight, and my concubine only found out when she changed her clothes for the little prince after the dinner tonight. As for who did this, the concubine is still under investigation. In addition, she did not report it to the emperor because the person who injured the little prince has not yet been proven. If someone is wronged, it will provoke the harem for no reason, which will add to the emperor's worries. As a minister's wife, she should share her worries for the emperor, instead of blindly finding some worries for the emperor. Your Majesty, do you think so?

Shangguanyue's words were a pun, and Ling Linger's face was blue and white, but she couldn't refute a word.

When things arrived here, Chu Tianxiao already knew seven or eight points of the matter. He felt that it was strange. Why did Ling Linger suddenly say that he wanted to see Henger? It turned out to be so.

He took a deep look at Ling Linger. At this time, it would be impossible for him to say that there was no pain in his heart, but he still could not accept this fact.

After thinking for a while, she waved to call Xiao Xizi to her, "Xiao Xizi, send Ling Zhaoyi back to her Meiyuan for me. Tonight, I will accompany Huang'er and Shangguan Zhaoyi in Xueyuan.

"Hit."

Xizi quickly answered, came to Ling Linger's side and whispered, "Master Ling Zhaoyi, please come this way."

Ling Linger looked at Shangguanyue, lowered her head and bit her silver teeth. Although her heart was not happy, the palace salute still needed to be worshipped. "Your Majesty, my concubine retreat first."

"Hmm."

Chu Tian smiled undeniably and hummed without looking at her again.

Shangguanyue hugged the little prince and didn't say anything more. She just asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you need to change your clothes?"

"No, come on, you haven't talked to me for a long time. Tonight, you can talk to me about how you know the noble concubine." Chu Tian smiled and asked an approachable question.

Although Shangguan Yue was a little puzzled, he also dealt with it with it. If it was a wrong word thatlei liao the master, it was not worth the loss. So in many places, it has been mentioned in one word and will never be discussed in depth.

......

When Ling Linger left, Qingfeng also used her swallow-like light skills to return to the weaving house. There was no young lady in the yard for a long time. She quickly looked around and found that the young lady was painting in the study. Hearing her coming back, she asked, "Are you back?"

Before Nangong Bingyu asked, Qingfeng said urgently, "Miss, as you think, Ling Zhaoyi took the emperor to Shangguan Zhaoyi's snow garden tonight."

Nang Gong Bingyu put the brush in his hand and smiled, "What's the result?"

"The Shangguan Zhaoyi has calmed over and has not provoked any right and wrong."

"It's good to do this. Come on, tell me everything."

"Good." Qingfeng truthfully told everything that happened in the snow garden. After saying that, she also had something she couldn't figure out, "Miss, why didn't Shangguan Yue take this opportunity to teach Ling Zhaoyi a lesson?"

When Nangong Bingyu heard the words, she shook her head and said, "It's useless. Today, the emperor is by no means a fool. He knows the truth better than us. He grew up in the palace. Has he experienced less fraud? He knows better than anyone who is right and who is right. And he didn't say anything, just asked Grandpa Xi to send Ling Zhaoyi back. Based on this, the emperor still has feelings for Ling Zhaoyi.

"However, Ling Zhaoyi is so ambitious that it is hard to guarantee that she will not touch the little prince in the future." The breeze is worried.

For the worry about the breeze, Nangong Bingyu shrugged her shoulders and asked, "What does this have to do with us?" The safety of the little prince is protected by his father. Why do we have to get involved?

Qingfeng was stunned, and the next moment he realized it. He lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Miss, I understand what you mean."

Miss, after all, she is still a businessman.

She will help Shangguan Zhaoyi this time, but it doesn't mean that the young lady will help the little prince in the future. Miss never cares about other people's business. It's not that she doesn't have the ability, but that she never wants to participate in these thankless things.

Nangong Bingyu looked back at Qingfeng's sad face and sighed faintly, "Qingfeng, do you think I'm too ruthless?"

"Miss..." Qingfeng called softly.

Qingfeng's distress, Nangong Bingyu saw it, took her hand, and said earnestly, "Qingfeng, you know, living in the world does not mean that everything can be in your hands. And when you can hold it in your hands, it means that you can still overcome fate. If you are no longer in your control, then fate will control your life. Therefore, the road is a candidate, and it's up to you how to go. And I chose to enter the palace first. I didn't plan to do anything. I just wanted to stay until three months and let the emperor chase me out of the palace, that's fine.

Qingfeng shook his head, "Miss, stop talking, Qingfeng understands. In the future, no matter where the young lady is, Qingfeng will accompany you.

Accompany her, who must accompany whom in this world?

Nangong Bingyu's words to Qingfeng just gave a shallow smile, "Qingfeng, go to bed."

"What about you, Miss?"

"It's still sultry tonight. I want to drink some more wine alone before I fall asleep."

"Okay."

Qingfeng knew that she must have made the young lady unhappy again, but she was the kind of person who would not tell anyone if she had something on her mind.
