Chapter 1200 The Palace Maid Who Died Tragically While Taking the Blame (10)
"Miss Shu."
Seeing that Shu Jiao had accepted the money, Consort Xian asked in a low voice, "Was Consort Yi here just now?"
Did Consort Yi falsely accuse someone first, which allowed Emperor Jiaheng to scold her?
"No."
Shu Jiao smiled and put away the small purse, then lowered her voice and said, "But His Majesty didn't look too good when he came back from court."
understood.
This happened in the previous dynasty, and she ran headlong into it, becoming its punching bag!
Gan!
What terrible luck.
Consort Xian cursed inwardly, but her face remained gentle. "Then it seems I've come at an inopportune time."
No.
You've come at just the right time.
Shu Jiao thought to herself, smiling as she watched Consort Xian walk away. Then she pulled out her small purse and saw a few silver melon seeds inside.
mean.
How stingy.
Shu Jiao turned around and went inside to find Emperor Jiaheng.
"Perfect timing, go to the storeroom and deliver that set of pearl jewelry to Consort Yi."
Emperor Jiaheng's Way.
You can kill someone, but you also have to destroy their spirit.
She had just been verbally attacked, and then she found out that her rival who had insulted her this morning had been rewarded. With Consort Xian's temper, she would have been so angry that she would have a heart attack.
Shu Jiao thought about it and readily agreed.
Soon after, he took the pearl headdress to his old employer, taking the opportunity to curry favor with himself.
Consort Yi was indeed generous.
As Shu Jiao emerged from the Yihe Palace, she found a box filled with perfectly round and full top-quality pearls in her sleeve.
To express her gratitude, Shu Jiao coughed lightly and looked at Emperor Jiaheng, saying, "Your Majesty, Consort Yi invites you to dinner tonight."
If you have nothing better to do, why don't you give Consort Xian another hard time?
Emperor Jiaheng was instantly smitten.
"Walk."
He said it bluntly.
Sun Wenzhong, standing to the side, gave Shu Jiao a rather subtle look.
It’s over.
The emperor was already... and now this is just adding fuel to the fire, the future of the harem is pretty much sealed.
Shu Jiao quickly spread the news.
As she followed Emperor Jiaheng toward the inner palace, she said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, Consort Xian has also been wronged today. Why don't you go and see her? She's probably crying in secret."
cry?
Let's make a scene.
Emperor Jiaheng pondered for two seconds, then took a step with a limp.
Without informing anyone behind him, he quietly entered the palace gate with Shu Jiao and Sun Wenzhong.
Just in time!
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
Then came a crisp cracking sound.
"Consort Yi! Consort Yi! What right does she have?!"
Consort Xian was furious. "The Emperor even sent her pearl jewelry and went to see her? Does the Emperor think that I'm the one who bullied Consort Yi?!"
"I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion she gave the Emperor..."
Hearing this, Shu Jiao waved silently.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
The guard shouted loudly.
Consort Xian's expression froze. She glanced at the chaotic scene and felt a chill run down her spine.
"My beloved concubine."
Emperor Jiaheng's earlier mocking expression vanished, replaced by a gentle demeanor as he walked over. Then, his smile gradually faded. "Consort Xian, what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Consort Xian nervously clenched her hands, "This is... my subordinates were careless and broke my things."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid behind her immediately stepped forward and knelt down, quickly admitting her mistake, "It's all my fault. I accidentally broke Your Highness's porcelain."
"She didn't do it on purpose."
Consort Xian smiled and approached Emperor Jiaheng, "She is a newcomer, so it's inevitable that she will be a little inconsiderate. Your Majesty, please don't take offense."
The process of taking the blame and pleading for leniency was quite smooth, a complete one-stop service.
Emperor Jiaheng looked at Consort Xian expressionlessly, "You have truly disappointed me."
"I originally intended to give you a set of purple jade ruyi scepters to play with, since you suffered some grievances earlier. I never expected you to... You should reflect on your actions. I'm leaving."
Emperor Jiaheng turned and left.
Behind her, Consort Xian looked like she was about to shatter.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, Your Majesty..."
Consort Xian immediately followed behind.
She dared not let Emperor Jiaheng leave in anger, otherwise, would she still be favored in the future?
"Your Majesty, please stop."
Shu Jiao blocked her from the side, sighed, and said softly, "This servant finally managed to persuade the Emperor to come, but... The Emperor is in a bad mood right now, why don't you wait a couple of days and then talk about it again."
They persuaded the emperor.
Upon hearing those four words, Consort Xian's heart stirred, and she thought of the money Wanxiang had spent on Shujiao.
The next second, a gold ingot was stuffed into Shu Jiao's sleeve.
"Miss Shu~"
Consort Xian looked at Shu Jiao with expectant eyes, "Your Majesty has truly misunderstood."
"I know, I know."
It weighs about half a pound when you squeeze and weigh it.
Shu Jiao softly agreed, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will do her best."
"Then I'll leave everything to Miss Shu."
"It's easy to talk about."
Shu Jiao gave a perfunctory reply and quickly followed Emperor Jiaheng.
After the group of people left in a large group, Consort Xian smashed another porcelain bottle with a face full of annoyance, "I'm so angry! How could it be so unlucky that the Emperor saw it?"
Fortunately, Shu Jiao is easy to bribe.
Right now, all we can do is hope she'll take the money and do the job.
On the other side, after Shu Jiao caught up with Emperor Jiaheng, she realized that he was radiating a joyful aura.
He was clearly very satisfied with his performance in this major production.
"These concubines have really suffered because of Emperor Jiaheng."
003 clicked his tongue in amazement while cracking sunflower seeds, "What kind of emperor personally gets involved in something like this?"
"An emperor who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good emperor."
Shu Jiao said calmly.
Which emperor didn't have some acting skills?
This is a required course.
Emperor Jiaheng has clearly mastered the art, and now he's sauntering off to the Yihe Palace.
Seeing him, and then seeing Shu Jiao following behind him, Consort Yi still felt a pang of pain in her heart.
My trusted confidant!
"Empress~"
Shu Jiao looked at Consort Yi with lingering affection, then glanced at Emperor Jiaheng with a hint of suggestion—
Your Majesty, rest assured, although I am serving at the Emperor's side, my heart will always be with you.
After dinner, Emperor Jiaheng took Consort Yi away.
The two masters had barely closed the door when Shu Jiao, as if returning to her hometown, found a stool, sat down, and began her little gossip lesson.
Sun Wenzhong listened to the sounds inside with one ear and to the sounds coming from her place with the other.
But I can't hear the whole thing.
Then you can hear a group of people in Yihe Hall saying "Oh~", "Ho~", and "Oh dear~" as they're making jokes.
He started to panic.
What on earth are you talking about?
Stop being so xenophobic, let our family hear it too!
"You all know Cailan from the Laundry Department, right? She's the round-faced palace maid who works under Granny Yu."
Shu Jiao whispered mysteriously, "Do you know how she got into the laundry department?"
"do not know."
"I heard that he offended Consort Wan and was exiled there."
"No, that's not it. I heard that Consort An thought Cai Lan was too beautiful, so she sent her to the laundry department to be tormented..."
really.
The palace servants each had their own channels of information; none of them were blind or deaf.
"None of it is right."
Shu Jiao held up a finger and shook it gently. "She went in by herself."
Why would anyone willingly go to such a wretched place as the laundry department?
A group of people looked at Shu Jiao with a mixture of confusion and anxiety.
Hurry! Speak!
