Beating drums to complain

Since the old emperor took office, the Dashun sea and rivers have been clear, and the world is at peace.

There were very few cases of adultery in the imperial court. Gradually, the Dengwen drum in front of the palace gate became useless. Today's drum sound was the first time the old emperor heard it since he took office.

The eunuch nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, someone beat the Dengwen drum. Maybe there is some grievance."

The old emperor reacted, and his mouth suddenly dropped, "Come here, please change my clothes. I want to see what injustices there are under this Taiping!"

Soon, Concubine Jiang and her maid were brought into the palace by the eunuch.

The officials were confused that day. It was time to go to court at midnight. Why was the door of the main hall not opened for a long time?

After asking the eunuch, I found out that someone actually beat the Dengwen drum today!

The courtiers were shocked and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.

Fang Anren came closer to Pei Mo and said, "Brother Pei, who do you think is so bold that he dares to go to the palace gate to complain? I don't know who is going to be in trouble."

Pei Mo also just heard about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's probably an unjust case."

His eyes were deep, were there not enough injustices in this capital?

Don't look at the sun rising, the first thing it shines on is the glazed tiles of the palace, but who can see the piles of bones under the darkness of the palace.

The second prince stood not far from Pei Mo and the two of them, so he naturally heard his answer and looked at him idly.

But he never imagined that the person Fang Anren said was going to be unlucky was actually him!

It turned out that Concubine Jiang moved very quickly. She had just been expelled from the Prince's Mansion at dusk and came to beat the Dengwen drum at dawn.

People who saw the joke thought that Concubine Jiang was struggling in a deserted corner at the moment. How could they have thought that she was the one beating the drum and calling out the injustice.

Soon, the door of the main hall opened with a creak, and the sun shone into the hall. Everyone saw the miserable Concubine Jiang.

Including the second prince.

The emperor's personal eunuch came out with a fly whisk in his hand, "Informed by the emperor's decree, all ministers please leave. Today's morning court will be suspended. Tomorrow's morning court will continue as usual. The second prince stays!"

The courtiers at the bottom of the steps were silent, and their gazes seemed to be absent-mindedly glancing at the second prince.

The second prince's face was ashen, and he almost broke his teeth when he looked at Concubine Jiang in the hall, "I have my order."

An uneasy feeling filled my heart, but it soon turned into evil hatred.

One day a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days, and later the concubine Zhang understood that for the second prince, only when you are of use value, he will know what kindness is.

When you become an abandoned child, what is husband and wife? What is kindness? It's all bullshit. Yesterday we could be husband and wife, today we can be enemies who hate each other.

But Concubine Jiang didn't understand this truth.

Fang Anren and Pei Mo looked at each other, turned and left in tacit understanding.

After walking far away, Fang Anren asked, "Brother Pei, who is the woman in the hall?"

"It's Concubine Jiang." Pei Mo has a photographic memory and can remember a person's appearance once he sees her.

Fang Anren was surprised, "Is this the concubine Jiang who sold off the belongings in the palace and loaned usury money privately?"

"Yes." Pei Mo nodded, "It seems you have heard about it too."

"The whole capital is in an uproar, who doesn't know!"

No matter how the officials discussed, there was a dead silence in the main hall where the parties were present.

The old emperor pressed his tired eyes and asked, "Second brother, what do you have to say?"

The second prince knelt on the ground, a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes. What a bitch, how dare you complain to your father?

At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. He really should have taken a strong dose of medicine and let this bitch return to the west together with her scoundrel!

"Father, my son and I have been wronged. This woman has falsely accused my son. Please give me a clear lesson from my father!"

The second prince said angrily, with a look of being wronged on his face.

Concubine Jiang knocked her head heavily on the ground, making a dull sound, and said with tears in her eyes, "I beg the emperor to see clearly, everything I say is true. I have not sold anything in the palace, nor have I borrowed money secretly. There is no trace of my body."

I don’t know!”

The emperor's eyes had seen many people, and sometimes he could tell at a glance whether what that person said was true or false.

He looked at the sincere Concubine Jiang below, knowing that this woman might really not know, so he looked at the second prince with complicated eyes.

When the second prince saw the old emperor's eyes, he broke into a cold sweat behind his back, but he quickly thought of a way to evade.

"Father, you don't know something. When the thief was caught in Dali Temple and interrogated, the thief said that it was all arranged by Pei Huan, the maid next to the concubine. The concubine was also suspected. But now she said that she had no knowledge. Er Chen

How dare you believe it!”

When Pei Huan heard the second prince's words, she raised her head in disbelief, "No, the concubine, not the slave, the slave is unjust!"

Hearing this, Concubine Jiang said with complicated eyes, "Pei Huan? Is it you, are you harming me?"

Pei Huan shook his head, his eyes were full of fear, and he immediately shed tears, "I'm not a slave, I'm a concubine. I've been serving the concubine for many years. I have worked hard even if I don't have any merit. Concubine, my loyalty to the concubine is a lesson!"

But Concubine Jiang, who only wanted to return to the Prince's Mansion, didn't believe it. She was shocked. She struggled to stand up and beat the ring, "It turns out that it was you, a cheap maid, who harmed me. You, a cheap maid, had I not begged you to do so."

Father just bought you. Without me, you would have ended up in a brothel a long time ago. How could you harm me like this!"

The feeling of betrayal rushed toward Concubine Jiang like cold sea water, and she cried bitterly.

But Pei Huan's face was pale, and his heart felt like it had been pierced by thousands of sharp arrows.

The old emperor angrily yelled, "Someone, please pull these two women apart. What a shame!"

No matter how distressed the master and servant were, he frowned and asked the second prince, "According to what you said, why don't you kill this slave and expel her and Concubine Jiang from the prince's mansion?"

Once you tell a lie, you have to make up a bigger lie to cover it up.

A trace of panic flashed across the lowered face of the second prince, and finally he gritted his teeth. He raised his head and looked at Concubine Jiang resentfully and said, "Now that the matter has happened, I will no longer hide it from my father. Father, it was this woman who lost her virginity."

!”

"What did you say?" The old emperor was shocked.

Concubine Jiang, who was pulled away by the eunuch, had a look of astonishment on her face, "Your Highness, Your Highness is aware of it, and my love for Your Highness can be seen from the sun and the moon. How can I be unfaithful to Your Highness!"

The second prince added, "Father, this is related to my reputation. How dare you talk nonsense? The evidence that this woman lost her virginity is still in the house. If my father doesn't believe it, I will send someone back to the house to collect the evidence."

"

After hearing this, the old emperor became furious and said, "Bold bitch, what else do you have to say!"

Injuring the enemy eight hundred and losing one thousand to himself, the second prince lost his temper and simply admitted that he was wearing a cuckold on his head.

No one can imagine how a man could slander his wife's innocence.

The old emperor couldn't think of it, so he believed in the second prince's words.
