After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 113 Compensation

So, he was very calm, just sitting obediently in his seat waiting for the next words from the Royal Grandfather, as well as the "compensation" that the Royal Grandfather would get because of his guilt. He had no intention of really killing the person in one go and making him unable to turn over, so Qi You accepted it well.

I just don't know what the royal grandfather will compensate him with? Qi You is a little curious about this.

Emperor Jingyuan pondered for a while and finally decided something. Then he looked at Qi You below. As luck would have it, the grandfather and grandson's eyes suddenly met.

Seeing Qi You's clear eyes filled with admiration, Emperor Jingyuan felt sorry for him for a moment, but Chen would definitely not die today.

He thought about it, Chen was able to figure out a method of making glass, and she might have other things that could benefit the country and the people. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation was also performed by her. This suspicion was well-founded, so she could not die for the time being. At least her value had to be squeezed out.

Therefore, I can only compensate Qi You in other ways.

How to compensate?

Emperor Jingyuan thought about it.

When thinking of Qi You, one thinks of Qi You's biological mother. Qi You's biological mother was just a concubine and was not even liked by the fifth brother. Emperor Jingyuan knew this. He also knew that it was her that the fifth brother brought with him when he went out to provide disaster relief this time, and it was said that she had returned, and she came back with Xiao Quan.

Judging from the chats with Qi You and the information he found out, Qi You cares a lot about his biological mother.

Therefore, it would be a good idea to raise Qiao's status, which would be a good thing for both mother and son.

Qi You is his most valued grandson, who is smart and studious, extremely intelligent, and a martial arts genius. He has great demeanor at a young age, and when he grows up, he will surely be the backbone of Dajing, so her biological mother's status cannot be too low.

In that case, let’s make her a concubine.

After she became the Royal Jade Butterfly, she was considered his real daughter-in-law.

After all, Qiao had made great contributions by giving birth to Qi You, so giving her the position of concubine was considered a favor.

But, let’s do it.

But just this seemed too little. Emperor Jingyuan was really satisfied with this grandson, so even if he had to suffer some injustice, Emperor Jingyuan wanted to compensate him as much as possible.

But, Qi You is so young, what can he compensate for?

Emperor Jingyuan was stumped again.

The entire Qinzheng Hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The emperor didn't speak for a long while, so everyone looked at him quietly.

It seems that this matter has really put the emperor in a difficult position, otherwise he would not have thought about it for so long.

From this we can see that the emperor values ​​Qi You very much, and he has already put him in a difficult position, which shows how much Qi You holds in the emperor's heart.

After all, no one present had ever seen the emperor so embarrassed.

When the Queen saw this, her gaze towards Qi You became even deeper, and then she glanced at Concubine Xian.

She would never admit that she was a little envious of Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian pretended not to notice the Queen's gaze. She was also very uneasy at the moment.

Her grandson meant a lot to the emperor, and she was happier than anyone else. But no matter what, it was her grandson who was wronged today, and she was afraid that her grandson would become alienated from the emperor because of this. After all, she had always known that her grandson was a thoughtful person.

Just when everyone was having different thoughts, Emperor Jingyuan finally spoke.

"Ms. Chen, are you sure this thing can be made? Do you know the consequences of deceiving the emperor?"

Emperor Jingyuan's voice carried an indescribable majesty, which frightened Chen so much that her body trembled.

Chen swallowed her saliva, straightened her back and said, "Your Majesty, I am sure this thing can be made. I can guarantee it with my life!"

"Humph! That's good. If you can't do it, you don't want to know the consequences."

Emperor Jingyuan's cold voice echoed in every corner of the hall.

Chen was not afraid at all when she heard this. She was confident about this and there was no way she couldn't do it.

"Also, where did you know this method? Or did you come up with it yourself?" This is the question that Emperor Jingyuan has always been puzzled about.

After Emperor Jingyuan asked this question, his eyes stayed on Chen, wanting to see what she would say.

Everyone present also turned their eyes to Chen.

They also wanted to know how Chen knew these production methods.

Here it comes! Here it comes! This question has finally come!

This has always been a problem that she is afraid of but must face.

Chen calmed down, thought for a while, and then tried to speak calmly, "Your Majesty, this is what I learned from a book. I bought the book from a sorcerer by chance when I was out for fun. At that time, the sorcerer gave me a glass cup to prove what the thing looked like, but I accidentally broke it and lost the book." As she spoke, Chen's voice became lower and lower.

This time there is finally no evidence, right?

Emperor Jingyuan glanced at Chen with a half-smile.

Do you really think he would believe such a clumsy lie?

There was never any truth in Chen's mouth, but even if she didn't say anything now, he could still find out the truth. Since there were so many things to do now, he might as well finish the current things first.

None of the empress, virtuous concubine, and even Xiao Quan present believed Chen's words.

But it must be said that Chen was really bold. She even dared to deceive the emperor. They had already anticipated the emperor's rage.

However, the people present were disappointed because Emperor Jingyuan was not angry.

"Really?"

Emperor Jingyuan said this with a smile.

Chen replied with a stiff upper lip, "Yes, Your Majesty."

It has to be, otherwise she doesn't know how to explain that she knows these things.

Just when she thought the emperor was going to ask more questions, Emperor Jingyuan said, "Chen, you have committed a heinous crime by murdering the heir to the throne, but I will not let you die because the thing you presented is beneficial to the court."

Upon hearing this, Chen heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't dead, she was fine. Then, Chen subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, what about my maid's family..."

Before Chen could say anything, Emperor Jingyuan spoke again, "But the death penalty can be spared, but the living crime cannot be escaped! Give her thirty lashes of the cane, and spend three months in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Remove her position as the wife of Prince Rui and demote her to the maidservant of Prince Rui. As for your family members, plotting to murder the heir to the throne is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. The things you just handed over can barely spare you from the death penalty, but your family members will not have this honor."

After saying this, Emperor Jingyuan looked at Chen below.

What does it mean? It's self-explanatory.

When Qi You heard this, a look of understanding flashed in his clear eyes.

The Royal Grandfather wants to make Chen spit out something again!

Everyone present understood the emperor's intention.

At this moment, Chen's face was as pale as paper, and her body seemed to have no support, and she fell to the ground.

Thirty strokes of the cane! If she didn't die, she would be disabled! And she would be locked up in the Ministry of Justice for three months. How could she do that? If this got out, how could she live her life? She would lose her position as a wife and become a maid? ! No, no, no! She didn't want to! And how could her nine clansmen die! ?

Didn't I already submit the methods of making glass and soap? Why is it still not working!?

Chen's face was a little distorted.

But soon, she calmed down and thought carefully about what the emperor had just said. She immediately understood something.

This means you have to exchange it for something of corresponding value!

No matter whether it is his own imprisonment in the Ministry of Justice or saving his mother's family, the emperor means that he does not have enough bargaining chips!

After understanding the emperor's intention, Chen's face turned pale.
