Chapter 422 2 Choose 1 to Live
Lin Junxue glanced at Nanny Wu and saw a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Sure enough, when people are in desperate situations, they will want to grasp even the smallest, unlikely hope in order to survive.
What a pity, she always treats her enemies completely completely.
As for the enemy, Nanny Wu, she not only wanted to eradicate her roots, but also kill her and destroy her heart.
Lin Junxue stood up, looked at Xie Yu under everyone's gaze, and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, this matter may be because Aunt Wu was lonely in the deep palace and could not bear it for a while, which is also excusable. Your Majesty can make a big deal out of it. Today, those standing outside are all royal relatives. Your Majesty can give an order to stop the gossips outside. I believe that Aunt Wu has already realized that she was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will consider our many years of friendship. I think you should forgive Aunt Wu this time."
It seems to be a plea, but in fact it is telling Xie Yu
Today, the royal family and nobles are all watching. Even if he is the emperor, how can he stop the clan members from talking? Not let it out.
Everyone had different looks. Nanny Wu looked dejected. Today's plot was intended to bring eternal damnation to the Queen.
In the end, it was because she was careless and underestimated the Queen that she ended up in the desperate situation she is in today.
Chen Mi lowered his eyes and glanced at Nanny Wu.
As soon as the queen opened her mouth, she cut off Nanny Wu's way of survival.
What the emperor values most is face and the reputation of the royal family.
If he was just an unimportant servant, you could just deal with him as you please.
However, Nanny Wu was the person closest to the Empress Dowager and served her most. It could be said that her every word and action represented the Empress Dowager herself.
Today, Nanny Wu was caught doing this dirty thing, and all the royal family members were watching.
If nothing is done about it, how will the Queen Mother save her face in the future?
Disgracing the royal family's reputation is an unforgivable crime. It will be difficult for Nanny Wu to save her life.
The queen mother pointed at Lin Junxue, the flesh on her face trembling slightly, and said angrily, "Queen, you..."
Lin Junxue seemed to not understand what she had said wrong, and looked at the Queen Mother with an innocent look.
"Mother, did I say something wrong?"
When Xie Yu saw that the Queen Mother still had this attitude towards Lin Junxue at this time, his expression turned cold and he spoke.
"That's enough. The Queen is right. Even if I consider this matter out of consideration, the relatives and nobles are watching. If I don't punish them severely, it will be hard to convince them."
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu coldly, as if he had already made up his mind.
No matter how kind Xie Yu is, as long as his own interests are involved, his kindness will disappear instantly.
The Queen Mother covered her chest with her hands, and Qin Shushu hurried forward to support her.
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, as long as I am here, no one can touch Nanny Wu. Nanny Wu has been with me for decades. Your Majesty, today was just a momentary mistake, why do you have to hold on to it?"
The scene froze
Xie Yu's face became more and more ugly. He was the emperor. No matter how good Nanny Wu was, she was just a servant after all.
Where does the Queen Mother put him as an emperor when she publicly confronted him for Nanny Wu?
Seeing that a conflict was about to arise between mother and son, Nanny Wu gritted her teeth.
If this continues, the mother-son relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will be broken again.
at this point
She couldn't bear to see the Empress Dowager and the Emperor arguing over her anymore.
Nanny Wu knelt forward and kowtowed. Lin Junxue glanced at Wang Chu who was kneeling on the ground.
Next second
Wang Chu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Nanny Wu has been with the Empress Dowager for many years and has made great contributions. Today, if someone needs to be held accountable, please order the punishment of this servant. I deserve to die."
As soon as Wang Chu opened his mouth, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Xie Yu looked at Wang Chu and had already thought of asking him to take the blame.
It is not impossible to kill Wang Chu and save Nanny Wu.
In this way, the royal family's reputation can be saved and Nanny Wu can also be saved.
Seeing the murderous intent in Xie Yu's eyes, Lin Junxue curled her lips slightly.
Xie Yu's idea is quite beautiful
It's a pity that some people will not follow his wishes, except Wang Chu and Nanny Wu.
Nanny Wu turned around and looked at Wang Chu in shock.
Obviously, at this moment, she did not expect that Wang Chu would rather plead guilty and save her.
But I have never given Wang Chu any good face and have always been on guard against him.
The most shocked person was the Queen Mother. She looked at Wang Chu with emotion.
She was certain that Wang Chu had saved Nanny Wu for her sake.
Xie Yu was about to speak.
The Queen Mother immediately interrupted and said, "No."
The light in Aunt Wu's eyes suddenly went out, and the others were also stunned.
Xie Yu's eyes were filled with anger
"Mother, I can give in to today's matter, but you must give up one of Wu Ma and Wang Chu. I will leave the decision to you. Gao Cheng, prepare the white silk and poisoned wine. As for who will use them, it's all up to you, mother."
The Queen Mother fell into her chair and looked at Xie Yu's cold attitude.
She knew that she could only choose one of the two today, otherwise, she would lose neither.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue who was standing there, and instantly became gentle.
"Queen, please stay. When you have dealt with the matter, come to me. I will take care of government affairs first."
Lin Junxue took a step forward
"Then, I respectfully send your Majesty off."
Xie Yu took Concubine Mi, Concubine Chen, and Qin Shushu away, and Gao Cheng went to prepare white silk and poisoned wine.
indoor
The Queen Mother stared at Lin Junxue like a hungry wolf, with great ferocity, as if she wanted to bite off a piece of her flesh.
Madam Wu, Wang Chu is kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, both of them were waiting for the Queen Mother's choice. Who lives and who dies is just a matter of thought for the Queen Mother.
One is an old slave who has been with her for many years, from the boudoir to the harem, through decades of ups and downs, so the affection between them is naturally self-evident.
The other one is his new favorite, who accompanies him every day and has a face exactly like his first love when he was young.
How should the Queen Mother choose?
Lin Junxue turned around and sat down, and Danzhen served her tea.
Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly.
She was not in a hurry. She had time to wait for the Queen Mother to slowly choose. The slower the choice, the more torturous it would be.
Of course, she wasn't the one being tortured.
The Queen Mother said, "Queen, from the beginning to the end, I underestimated you."
The Queen Mother has been in the harem for many years, relying on the favor of the late Emperor at first sight and the help of Nanny Wu, but she is not stupid after all.
The Queen Mother has figured out what happened today. Lin Junxue must have taken advantage of the situation and turned the tables to make Nanny Wu and Wang Chu stay in the same room.
Now, she is forced to save only one person.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in continuing to act like this.
Therefore, at this time, the Queen Mother tore off her disguise of many years, and Lin Junxue no longer had to pretend to be respectful and filial.
The two of them completely fell out.
Lin Junxue put down the teacup and looked at the empress dowager with bulging veins on her forehead.
The two men stared at each other in mid-air, and there seemed to be fire burning.
