Chapter 873: Reply
In the end, the Mama was old, and she ate more rice than the young palace maid. She naturally knew that this matter was important. If she said the wrong thing, she might lose her head.
She said while trembling: “Answering back the emperor, this old slave only knows that Miss Bai came to Qingan Palace today, I don’t know whether she came by herself or was invited by the empress.”
The emperor frowned. The two palace maids had a different answer. He looked at the young palace lady, when she heard the old mama’s answer, her face suddenly paled and she looked like she wanted to say something.
The emperor asked the young palace lady again: “Are you sure that Bai Zhi came to Qingan Palace by herself? Which eunuch passed the message? Could you distinguish it?”
The palace lady was so scared that her back was covered with sweat. She anxiously replied: ” Answering back the emperor, this slave remembered it wrong. This slave thought Miss Bai came by herself. This slave didn’t really know how Miss Bai came. “
Is this a confession?
The emperor was not stupid, how can he not understand the key point?
He slapped the royal table with his palm and said angrily: “Don’t you still want to tell the truth? If you dare to lie to me, I will let your blood spill.”
The two were almost paralyzed in fright. The Old Mama said: “The emperor, the emperor, this old slave was not in the front hall at the time, this old slave—”
Before the Old Mama finished speaking, the emperor raised his hand and called the guards: “Beat them for me!”
At this age, how could an old lady like her withstand the beating of such a strong young man? She was overwhelmed. She gritted her teeth and said: “The emperor, please calm down your anger. This old slave will say it, this old slave will say it—“
The emperor raised his hand and motioned to the guard to retreat, “Speak!”
The Old Mama kowtowed to the emperor and said: “Answering back the emperor, Miss Bai was called to the Qing’an Palace by the empress. Miss Bai was in the imperial hospital and treating of Princess Qianfang at that time.”
The emperor frowned his eyebrows: “So, Bai Zhi didn’t know in advance that the empress will invite her to Qingan Palace today?”
The Old Mama shook her head: “This old slave doesn’t know, this old slave only knows this.”
The emperor turned his head to look at the palace maid and asked: “You are serving in the hall?”
The palace maid trembled: “Answering back the emperor, yes, this slave is serving in the hall.”
What was going on in Qingan Palace today?
The palace maid thought that since the old Mama told the truth if she won’t answer honestly, she might end up dead. After all, the harem belongs to the emperor. The empress was superior, but she was not as superior as the emperor.
Thinking of this, she made a decision and said to the emperor: “Answering back the emperor, this slave serve the tea in the hall. When Miss Bai arrives, the empress gives her a seat. Miss Bai said that the cushion was too thick and soft, and she refused to sit. Later, Prince Xiao came, and the seat that was originally prepared for Miss Bai was taken by Prince Xiao.”
The emperor’s face turned black, but keep staring at the palace maid: “Go on.”
“Later, Prince Xiao lost his mind. Miss Bai was about to leave, but the empress refused to let her go and asked this slave to catch her. Prince Xiao walked closed to Miss Bai, then Miss Bai stabbed the prince with a golden hairpin.”
