Before Jin Xin left the palace, she specifically inquired about the emperor's schedule and knew that he would not have time to meet with the ministers tonight.
But he didn't expect that when Jin Xin came back, he would see his palace brightly lit and the people in front of the emperor standing outside the palace. As soon as Jin Xin entered the palace gate, he saw this nervous scene.
Little Eunuch Yang winked, and the features on his face were almost twisted together, full of hints.
Everyone in Jinxin Palace was kneeling outside, and Lianrong was also kneeling. It seemed that the emperor was angry inside.
Cui Gu persuaded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, no matter how angry the Emperor is, you have to keep your head down, for the sake of the overall situation."
Jin Xin didn't know this.
The whole room was silent. Jin Xin stepped forward. Huang Wanshun sighed in a low voice and said helplessly, "The emperor was angry with the minister in the previous court just now. He wanted to come to see the empress, but she was not there. The emperor was very angry, but the empress was not there." You have to be coaxed, and you have to be coaxed."
Yes, he takes soft things rather than hard ones, and this has always been the case.
Opening the door, the emperor was sitting alone on the soft couch, looking at her with sharp eyes as she walked in. She was still wearing the clothes of a young eunuch, her face was red from the cold.
Broken tea set on the floor.
Jin Xin stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down."
"You are so brave!" He said, cleaning things on the table again, and a cup hit Jin Xin. She covered her aching heart and remained silent.
"Why don't you say anything? Do you think you have lost control and are waiting for me to deal with you?" the emperor asked angrily.
Jin Xin felt aggrieved and raised her eyes to look at him, "As the Emperor has seen, I have no words to argue. Whatever you see is what you see."
"So you think I won't deal with you?" He patted the table.
"Will the emperor forgive me? I admit it, but I don't regret what happened tonight." Jin Xin stubbornly looked away and refused to say soft words.
He was startled and stared at her face, "Are you still reasonable?"
"The emperor does not believe me, no matter how many explanations there are, it is meaningless. The facts of what happened tonight are what the emperor saw. I left the palace privately, went to the prison, and met the repeat offender. That's it. I didn't give any explanation. "
As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes. She was stubborn and pitiful, looking very aggrieved.
"Then you saw it, did I hurt your mother? If it were anyone else, such a suspect would naturally be severely tortured and interrogated. How could she be left alone!" The emperor gritted his teeth, a little annoyed that she was disobedient.
He was already investigating, but he needed solid evidence. The rumors naturally originated from the Xiao family, but the rumors were not the most important thing at the moment, but Concubine Xuan's life.
You can only talk about other things if you want to save your life.
In many cases, wherever someone has an grievance, it can be settled by bringing evidence to trial.
He thought Jin Xin understood, but he didn't expect that she didn't understand and was so willful that she insisted on leaving the palace.
If she hadn't been here tonight, people from outside wouldn't be able to get in. If someone really wanted to find an excuse for her, even if he were the emperor, he wouldn't be able to save her.
She was his chosen future queen, how could he ignore her.
Jin Xin raised her head aggrievedly, her eyes filled with tears. The tears refused to fall, blurring her eyes. Her eyes were red and her nose was red. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold or because she was sad.
"Get up and talk." Seeing her like this, the emperor had no choice but to soften his tone and let her get up and reply.
Jin Xin refused, and turned her head away, tears streaming down her face. I felt pity for her. Even though she was just being angry, I could feel that she was really aggrieved. The emperor could never see her like this, and it was like this every time.
But he just accepted her trick, and no one else could do this to take advantage of Qiao.
"Okay, regarding your mother, I believe she will not kill anyone. This matter just takes time." The emperor said helplessly.
When Jin Xin heard this, she sniffed and was about to get up. Her knees were numb and her body became unstable. She instinctively put her hands on the ground and rested her hands on the debris. She gasped in pain and trembled. Pick up your hand.
When the emperor saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and held her palms up. He saw that both hands were cut, the wounds were not small, and blood was pouring out.
"Go and call the imperial physician!" the emperor shouted.
Jin Xin raised her eyes and saw his concerned and nervous look, feeling complicated. She was also angry these days, thinking that the emperor didn't trust her, and felt sad, and she didn't believe that the emperor would really help her.
It had happened so many times before that she couldn't believe it.
That's why I wanted to see my mother with my own eyes to make sure she was okay.
At this moment, he was so nervous about himself, and Jin Xin had only seen this kind of expression when something happened to Concubine Yu.
He was teaching her, but she might not be able to learn to be so indifferent. Jin Xin really couldn't be calm when facing the person she cared about the most.
Suddenly, with a sudden spin, the emperor picked her up and carried her to the bed. The imperial doctor came quickly and took care of her.
No one in the room spoke.
The emperor saw that Jin Xin's injury was taken care of, and after the imperial doctor went out, he dismissed everyone.
Jin Xin's hands were tightly bandaged, and she lowered her head in silence.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" the emperor asked slightly angrily.
"If the emperor wants to deal with it, I should do it. I made a mistake, but I don't regret it." She lowered her head and said the same words in a low voice. She said she admitted her mistake, but she didn't admit it in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, he felt helpless and stood up, "I hope you can understand that if you want to be a master at any time, you must always be awake and ensure that you are clean in front of others. When necessary, give up something. , otherwise, you have a weakness that will make you fatal.”
Jin Xin was startled when she heard this, "The Emperor wants me to give up my mother?"
The emperor was silent, waiting to see how she understood it.
Jin Xin sneered, "I asked myself that I can't do it. People don't have weaknesses, so the seven emotions and six desires are nothing."
It is normal to have weaknesses.
The emperor was helpless and a little disappointed.
"I have no weaknesses. My weaknesses have been killed with my own hands." He said.
Such a cold and sarcastic look shocked Jin Xin.
"Is it Concubine Jade?" she asked.
Once upon a time, she was able to talk about this matter with the emperor several times. This should be his rebellion.
The emperor did not answer, turned around and said calmly, "You should learn a lesson from what happened this time. If you are so stubborn, I will doubt whether you can walk side by side with me."
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at her again, his eyes fixed on her injured hand, and he couldn't bear it, so he looked away.
Then walked out.
Jin Xin frowned, thinking about the emperor's words, and also began to think about what he said.
Killed his own weakness with his own hands...
How could it be possible?
She cares about many things, including her mother, her children, and her desire for a higher status.
These are her weaknesses.
It is impossible for people to be impeccable if they have desires.
What exactly does the emperor want him to do?
Jinxin couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she said to Cuigu, "Publish the matter that made the emperor angry tonight and call Concubine Lan."
Jin Xin had already confirmed that it was Concubine Xiao who did it. What happened tonight made Concubine Xiao know that the emperor had abandoned her and would definitely take action again.
