A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The guards brought by Aunt Liu were about to come over to arrest Shen Qingqian, but Shen Qingqian would certainly not surrender. She stepped forward and grabbed Aunt Liu's neck.

"I'll see who dares!"

Shen Qingqian looked sharp and shouted at the guards in a cold voice.

As expected, the guards did not dare to move forward.

Aunt Liu was restrained, but she was not afraid. Instead, she glared at Shen Qingqian fiercely and said, "What do you want to do? This is the imperial palace. Do you want to kill someone?"

Shen Qingqian sneered, "Don't worry, this general won't kill anyone. Didn't you say that this general stole your things? Then let's go to the emperor and talk about it, and let the emperor preside over justice."

Aunt Liu didn't expect Shen Qingqian to take the initiative to ask the emperor to reason! According to their plan, this matter was indeed going to alarm the emperor. The hairpin was in Shen Qingqian's hand. They wanted to let the emperor know that Shen Qingqian was a thief who stole things and change the emperor's opinion of her.

But now, Shen Qingqian turned the tables, saying that she was the one who gave her the hairpin, and took the initiative to ask to see the emperor, which made Aunt Liu feel uneasy! Could it be that Shen Qingqian already had a plan?

Shen Qingqian didn't care what Madam Liu thought. She said to the guards, "Go back and tell your master that you can't frame me with your one-sided words. You have no right to arrest me. If you have anything to say, go to the emperor and tell him!"

After she finished speaking, she dragged Aunt Liu away.

At this time, in the emperor's study, the second prince, Prince Rui, was talking to the emperor alone. During the period when the crown prince was seriously ill, Prince Rui was very active and had taken over several affairs that the crown prince had previously been in charge of.

The emperor was also very satisfied with his performance and praised him, "Ming'er, you have done very well recently. I don't know when your brother's health will get better, so you should pay more attention to the affairs of the court."

Prince Rui was very proud, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose a little. He thought, it would be better if Zhao Yize died earlier, so that the position of crown prince would be his!

However, he could not show anything in front of the emperor, and said in a very sincere tone: "It is my duty to share your worries. Your Majesty, don't worry too much. My brother is a lucky person, and he will definitely get better."

"hope so!"

The emperor sighed imperceptibly and said, "If there is nothing else, you can go down too!"

"Yes, Father, I will take my leave."

Prince Rui bowed respectfully to the emperor and turned to leave.

Not long after Prince Rui left, Eunuch Xia came in to report to Emperor Qiyuan: "Your Majesty, General Qingyi wants to see you. She came with Nanny Liu from Chunhua Palace and said she has something to report to Your Majesty."

"Oh?"

The emperor knew that Aunt Liu was someone close to Concubine Dong, so why did she come with Shen Qingqian? He frowned and said, "Let her in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not long after Eunuch Xia left, Shen Qingqian came in with Aunt Liu. To be exact, it was Shen Qingqian who dragged Aunt Liu in.

The emperor was surprised for a moment when he saw this posture. In his impression, although Shen Qingqian was a woman, she was a person who knew etiquette and knew when to advance and retreat. This was the first time he had seen such a rude and rude behavior. He didn't know how this Aunt Liu offended her?

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

After Shen Qingqian came in, she let go of Nanny Liu, knelt down and saluted Emperor Qiyuan with a very humble and respectful attitude.

Nanny Liu also quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair behind the table and looked at them. He did not ask the two to stand up, but asked, "Why did you two come to see me together?"

Aunt Liu was afraid that Shen Qingqian would speak first and take the initiative, so she quickly took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, it was General Qingyi who stole the Imperial Concubine's jade lotus hairpin. The hairpin was given to the Imperial Concubine by the Empress Dowager. Our Majesty has always liked it very much, so she sent me to catch up with General Qingyi and get the hairpin back.

I didn't expect that even after being caught red-handed, General Qingyi refused to admit it and even turned the tables, arresting me and bringing me to the emperor to seek justice!"

Nanny Liu said a lot in one breath, fearing that Shen Qingqian would have a chance to quibble.

The emperor frowned even more. For the first time, he was dissatisfied with Shen Qingqian. It was not because Aunt Liu accused Shen Qingqian of stealing things, but because he did not believe that Shen Qingqian would steal things. How could someone who donated so much money steal a hairpin?

What he was dissatisfied with was that Shen Qingqian could have just explained such a small matter clearly, but she actually brought it to his face! He was so busy that he didn't have so much time to deal with these trivial matters between women.

The emperor thought to himself, women are women, their vision is not big enough after all!

Shen Qingqian knelt there calmly, and did not interrupt when Madam Liu was talking. She also noticed the displeasure on the emperor's face, but she did not panic, nor did she rush to explain.

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, Shen Qingqian spoke up, "Your Majesty, I know it was wrong of me to disturb Your Majesty because of this matter. But Aunt Liu framed me because of a letter, insisting that I stole the hairpin given by the Imperial Concubine! She even brought a dozen guards to arrest me!

I do not want to be wrongly accused, nor do I want to be arrested for no reason, so I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to make the decision. I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me. "

As she spoke, Shen Qingqian took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is the hairpin that accidentally fell out of Liu Ma when she gave it to me. I was curious, so I picked it up and opened it to read.

I originally wanted to return the letter to Madam Liu, but since the content of the letter was quite ambiguous, I was afraid that Madam Liu would be embarrassed if she knew that I had read her letter, so I did not return it immediately.

Nanny Liu probably discovered that the thing was missing only afterwards, and it was not convenient for her to ask me for it back openly, so she pretended that I had stolen the hairpin and wanted to search me.

But even so, Madam Liu cannot just ignore the consequences and wrongly accuse someone! How can I live my life in the future if I am accused of stealing?"

Shen Qingqian wanted to take this opportunity to hand Concubine Dong's letter to the emperor.

But she also understood that this was a royal scandal and also concerned the emperor's reputation. If she knew this secret, the emperor would always feel uncomfortable and might even regard her as a thorn in his side because of this.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian pretended that she didn't know that the owner of the letter was Concubine Dong Guifei, but that it belonged to Aunt Liu. In this way, the emperor would not lose face.

But Shen Qingqian understood that as long as the emperor read the letter, he would know who wrote it!

Emperor Qiyuan looked at Shen Qingqian suspiciously, then looked at the paper in her hand and winked at Eunuch Xia.

Eunuch Xia understood, walked over, took the letter from Shen Qingqian's hand, and presented it to Emperor Qiyuan.

Aunt Liu didn't know what Shen Qingqian wanted to do! Wasn't she talking about stealing the hairpin? Why did she bring up another letter?

Besides, when did she have a letter in her pocket and accidentally drop it? How come she didn't know?

Nanny Liu felt inexplicably nervous. Could it be that Shen Qingqian was setting a trap for her?

While Nanny Liu was thinking, Emperor Qiyuan had already opened the letter and started reading.

After just a moment, Emperor Qiyuan's face darkened by who knows how much darker it was.
