Chapter 883 I can't stand people who are brainless but arrogant
Mrs. Song was dumbfounded. She never thought that just accompanying her son to Shengjing for a trip would lead them to such a big disaster.
Madam Song was also a self-aware person. She cried and cursed: "How dare a fool like your brother to assassinate the emperor? And what about the deer you mentioned? How could they hunt it? Someone must have framed us for this. Qing'er, think about it, did you offend someone? Did you block someone's way? They are jealous of us, so they framed your two brothers. Find a way to save them, save the Song family..."
Until now, Mrs. Song still feels that her son would not cause trouble, and it was her daughter who got involved with her two brothers because of jealousy.
When Song Qing heard this, she just wanted to say that she hadn't offended anyone. Seeing the tears in her mother's eyes, she finally calmed down and said, "Mother is worried now. The emperor personally ordered them to be imprisoned in the prison. Now even if the emperor comes, he can't save them."
Mrs. Song was stunned, and pointed at Song Qing's nose and said angrily: "They are your brothers, how can you be so heartless? Are you saying this to let them die without helping them?"
"The Emperor has issued an order, asking me to behave myself. Mother asked me to save them. If they dare to assassinate the Emperor, they will be sentenced to death."
Song Qing felt that the emperor did not banish her directly to the cold palace, probably because of her uncle's relationship. He sent someone to remind her because he did not want to damage the relationship between the royal family and General Peng.
If Song Qing had any brains, she wouldn't care about anything now.
She was also very panicked and afraid that what her two brothers did would implicate her and the second prince.
She said, "Mother, go find my uncle and ask him for help."
She knew that the emperor would investigate the case for the sake of General Peng. Song Qian and Song Kun had no reason to assassinate the emperor unless they were really framed.
Mrs. Song suddenly realized something. "Yes, go find your uncle. He will definitely find a way to rescue your two brothers."
Mrs. Song was also in a hurry and ran away in a flash.
Dong'er said, "Madam is still so partial to the young masters. The queen is injured like this, but she doesn't say a word of concern."
Song Qing had long been accustomed to the fact that only by giving birth to a son could the family line be continued, while a daughter was like water spilled on the ground.
She couldn't care less about so many things now. If she wanted to avoid being implicated by the Song family, she had to find a way to rescue Song Qian and Song Kun first.
She said, "Please change my clothes for me. I have to go see the Queen."
"Your injury?"
"I can't care about that anymore. Find someone to carry me over."
Song Qing arrived in front of Jiang Fenghua, her eyes were red, she wanted to stand up and salute but was restricted by the injuries on her body, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua had already guessed that Song Qing would come over, so she said in a gentle voice, "Since Concubine Shu is injured, there is no need to be so polite. Didn't I ask someone to send Concubine Shu back to the palace? Why hasn't Concubine Shu returned yet?"
Song Qing said, "I do want to go back, but I am not fit to move for the time being due to my injuries. The imperial physician said I should rest for two days. I have already told the emperor, and he has agreed."
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, "Since I have informed the Emperor, you can stay here!"
Song Qing smiled slightly and explained, "Actually, I wanted to report this to the Queen, but the Emperor came to me just to ask about General Peng's condition, so I told him. The Emperor probably knew that I was seriously injured and couldn't bear to let me travel on the road."
Jiang Fenghua remained calm as she listened to her bragging about her relationship with the emperor. She said, "That's great."
Song Qing could have gone directly to ask the emperor for mercy, but after thinking it over carefully, she still felt that it was not safe. The emperor might not necessarily pardon her brother, but if the empress went, it would not be certain. He would definitely listen to the empress's advice.
Song Qing endured the pain and suddenly knelt on the ground, "I am guilty."
Jiang Fenghua paused, "What is Concubine Shu doing?"
"I heard that someone tried to assassinate the emperor in the hunting ground today. Those two people were my brothers. I am willing to guarantee with my life that they would never assassinate your majesty. Someone must have framed them or used someone else to kill them. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy and ask the emperor to investigate..."
Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "Why doesn't Concubine Shu go and ask the emperor for help directly? If I remember correctly, Concubine Shu has even been favored by the emperor recently. If Concubine Shu asks His Majesty for help, His Majesty will definitely show mercy."
Song Qing was stunned.
Hong Xiu was waiting on the side. She couldn't bear to listen any more. She said directly, "The Queen wanted to send Concubine Shu back to the palace to recuperate. Concubine Shu reported to the Emperor, and the Emperor asked Concubine Shu to stay. Now that your brother has caused a big disaster, you should go to the Emperor for help. Why did you ask the Queen? Assassinating His Majesty is a capital crime. If the Queen went to ask and His Majesty disagreed, the Queen would have angered His Majesty. In order not to offend the Emperor, Concubine Shu asked the Queen to plead for the Song family. What is Concubine Shu planning?"
For a moment, Song Qing couldn't refute a single word.
After a moment of stunned silence, she said quickly, "I have no other intentions. I am just afraid that my brother will be killed. They really don't have the courage to murder the emperor. Besides, they offered their prey voluntarily. How could they be so stupid as to put hidden weapons in their prey to murder the emperor? Isn't this obviously asking the Song family to be killed by His Majesty?"
Jiang Fenghua discussed it with Xie Shang and also asked the Song brothers how they hunted the sika deer. They explained the whole process.
Someone had hunted the sika deer first and was waiting for the Song brothers to take advantage. They were greedy for credit, so they claimed the prey as their own, saying they had killed it, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.
After all, it was the stupidity of the Song brothers that almost brought disaster to Xie Shang.
Fortunately, Xie Shang dodged it himself, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "This matter is beyond my power. The emperor is indeed angry, and no one dares to plead for mercy. I advise Concubine Shu to listen to the emperor and behave herself. Otherwise, General Peng will not be able to protect your Song family."
Song Qing's heart beat faster with fear. If it was a member of the Jiang family who was thrown into jail, would Queen Jiang still say this?
She knew that this matter was very tricky and her brother might really be held responsible.
She said, "I'll take my leave now."
Song Qing was a concubine of a prince. She knew that the emperor attached great importance to the royal heir, so after this incident, the emperor did not imprison her with him.
Song Qing was glad that she had an heir to the throne. She unconsciously touched her belly. If she could give birth to another son, her status in the palace might be further elevated.
After Concubine Song Shu left, Hong Xiu said, "Concubine Song Shu is really insidious. Her brother made a mistake, but she asked the Queen to beg the Emperor. I really don't know what's in her mind."
Jiang Fenghua said calmly: "If I don't help her, she will definitely run around like a headless fly... If she behaves herself, I can let her go and let her raise the second prince in peace, but she is too proud. I can't stand people who are brainless but proud and arrogant."
