Lin Qingge sneered in her heart, Concubine An was indeed Concubine An. If she got caught in the rain, she would have to tear up someone else's umbrella.
Unfortunately, the so-called trump card can only turn into a joke.
"What the empress said is that I have done something wrong, and naturally I have to be punished. But it is the empress who summoned me to the palace today, and what she did was the wedding between my sister-in-law and the King of Qi. That's fine, why did I do this? Going to the Star-Zhaing Tower?" Lin Qingge looked at Concubine An and spoke softly.
Concubine An was so frightened by Lin Qingge's sight that her voice trembled slightly: "How do I know why?"
"Didn't the empress take us to Zhaixing Tower to pray for their wedding?"
In the morning, many people saw that Concubine An took Lin Qingge, Mrs. Lin and Lin Qiuyue to the Star-Zhaing Tower, and it was impossible to deny it. Concubine An secretly scolded Lin Qingge for stirring up trouble, but thinking that this was the best time to get rid of her, she suppressed the anger in her heart.
"I did take you to the Star Reaching Tower. I found out that today's situation is special, so I took you away. Who would have thought that you would take the opportunity to sneak away and run into the Star Reaching Tower!"
When she thought that Lin Qingge was found guilty of trespassing into the Star-Zhaing Tower, her life was in danger, and Concubine An couldn't help but feel high.
What is grounding? Nowadays, almost all the concubines have facial problems, so no one will appear in front of Emperor Zhou to compete for his favor.
When things calmed down, she was still the beautiful concubine.
She secretly gave Mrs. Lin a look. Mrs. Lin understood and immediately stepped forward to salute Emperor Zhou and the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, today I brought my little daughter to the palace to meet the imperial concubine. I hope that with the imperial concubine's reconciliation, Qingge and Qiuyue can reconcile. Who knew that such a thing would happen? It's because I doted on Qingge. , let her make a big mistake. Your Majesty, please be lenient and give her a lenient sentence."
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground, vividly portraying the image of a loving mother.
Emperor Zhou was dissatisfied with Concubine An, and looked at Lin Qingge with no good intentions: "What else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I have three things that I don't understand. First, Mrs. Lin came here because she wanted to repair the relationship with me. Why should she go to Zhaixing Tower? That's not the place to talk. Secondly, you can't pray in Zhaixing Tower today, and Concubine An is not here. Why are you taking us there? Is it to give my concubine a chance to break in? Speaking of which, you can’t enter the Star Building today. Your Majesty forgot about it, and the people under her shouldn’t be so careless."
After Lin Qingge finished speaking slowly, his eyes turned to half of Lin Qiuyue's slightly red and swollen face: "The third point, the imperial concubine and Mrs. Lin, do you still remember why sister Qiuyue was beaten?"
Three consecutive points made everyone's eyes fall on Concubine An, Mrs. Lin and Lin Qiuyue.
Concubine An was obviously prepared for this, and she immediately said the answer she had thought of: "You entered the palace for the first time and wanted to walk around. I took you there, but it was wrong? As for taking you to Zhaixing Tower, It was you who said you wanted to pray for General Chu so that he could wake up soon."
At this point, she glanced at Chu Nanfeng and said coldly: "I don't know whether it was because of the miraculous effect of the Star Reaching Tower or because your heart was too sincere. The general actually woke up."
A master is a master.
Emperor Zhou himself was dissatisfied with Chu Nanfeng's "just in time" to wake up, and had various speculations in his mind. Concubine An mentioned it at this time, which made Emperor Zhou dissatisfied with Lin Qingge. On the contrary, the palace servants under his command did not remind him of this matter and just took him there.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be Lin Qingge's trap.
She finally saw clearly that Chu Nanfeng's pretending to be unconscious was a sign of weakness, and Emperor Zhou's dissatisfaction with Chu Nanfeng was even more genuine. As a result, as an emperor, just a small gesture was enough to show his fear of this minister.
Think about it, for a general who holds military power, the consequences of waving his banner are definitely unbearable for his life.
After Lin Qingge figured out the whole thing, his tense nerves relaxed. The worst outcome would never happen.
She nodded slightly and said seriously: "What the noble concubine said is that I have always had the general in my heart. Didn't you never take it to heart when His Majesty had a cold?"
Concubine An was suffocated by Lin Qingge's words. Just when she was about to retort, Lin Qingge didn't give her a chance at all: "But my concubine is different from sister Qiuyue. They are both people who care about their husbands. Although she is not married, she has already put herself in her heart." As His Highness the King of Qi, I pray for the King of Qi day and night."
Lin Qiuyue didn't understand why Lin Qingge mentioned her at this time, but she would not miss it if she could leave a good impression in front of the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhou.
"What my sister said is that I miss His Highness King Qi very much in my heart. I hope that he will be free from illness and disaster and live a long life."
"Then my sister also wants to enter the Star-Zhaing Tower to pray for His Highness?" Lin Qingge approached Lin Qiuyue and continued to ask.
"Of course I did."
"That's why you were slapped by Mrs. Lin, right?"
"Yes." After Lin Qiuyue said that, she immediately lowered her head. Naturally, she did not dare to say that the reason she was slapped was because she said that the Star Building was too high and she did not want to go in.
The expressions on the faces of Concubine An and Mrs. Lin next to them were no longer calm. Lin Qingge's eyes swept across them, and finally fell on Lin Qiuyue: "I just want to pray for blessings, how could Mrs. Lin refuse? Hey, it seems that it was Mrs. Lin who had You know that Star Reaching Tower is inaccessible, are you deliberately trying to trick me?"
"Bold! How dare you speak lies in front of His Majesty!" Mrs. Lin shouted.
"Then please tell Mrs. Lin why you want to hit Sister Qiuyue?" Lin Qingge looked directly at Mrs. Lin with obvious mockery in her eyes.
She was very sure that Mrs. Lin would never dare to tell the real reason.
That would ruin not only Lin Qiuyue, but everyone from Concubine An to the An family to the Lin family would also be implicated.
Mrs. Lin knelt on the ground and stared at Lin Qingge, her eyes almost bulging, and anyone could see the resentment inside.
Lin Qingge ignored her and looked up to the superior: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, please tell me whether Mrs. Lin has the intention to reconcile with me. As for the matter of trespassing into the Star Reaching Tower, I am willing to accept the crime."
She knelt down on the ground in the astonished eyes of everyone. No one thought that she actually admitted the matter while silencing others.
Now this is the crime imposed on Concubine An. Does she really not want to live?
"Girl, do you know what you are talking about?" The Queen Mother's slow voice sounded, "Maybe you don't care about your life, but there are people who care."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking care of me. I am grateful to Qing Ge. It's just for Da Zhou that I have to say this."
Lin Qingge ignored the Empress Dowager's intention: "I broke into the Zhaixing Tower not only to pray for the general, but also for the great Zhou Dynasty! The bracelet enshrined on the top of the building, which is said to be able to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, is This is the beginning of disaster for the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
