Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 313 I will never let you go

As the sky was getting dark, the little maids turned out from behind the screen and quietly lit up the palace lanterns in the hall.

The pale golden light swayed gently, dispelling the darkness in the hall, but it couldn't dispel the panic in everyone's hearts.

"Princess Concubine!" the emperor shouted coldly, before finishing speaking, Concubine Pei rushed over.

She grabbed Zhao Xiwei's arm: "You better tell me clearly! I framed the princess? What did I use to frame it? How did I frame it? And why did I frame it?"

"You'd better answer me exactly! Otherwise—" her voice was almost out of control in her anger, "otherwise I will die with you!"

"Imperial concubine!" The emperor leaned on the armrest of the chair and seemed to want to get up, but he was dizzy due to his anger, so he had to lean halfway and shouted in a low voice: "You must not be rude!"

Everyone's eyes, originally on Zhao Xiwei, turned to the noble concubine.The look in his eyes also changed from contempt to astonishment—the emperor's attitude was obviously favoring the crown princess!

Concubine Pei's eyes also widened, and the corners of her mouth were bent downwards, like a child who had suffered a great grievance, making an expression of wanting to cry or not.

But just for a moment, she bit the corner of her lip hard, and the aggrieved expression quickly disappeared, replaced by the corner of her mouth raised.

She laughed lightly, seeming to be laughing at herself, disappointed, and saddened.

She raised a pair of beautiful and cold eyes, and looked at the emperor without blinking: "Your Majesty really doesn't believe in ministers and concubines?"

Originally, I thought that the crown princess would be refuted by the emperor if she spouted blood.How could it be her who was scolded again?
The emperor seemed a little guilty by her look, coughed, turned his face away to look at Zhao Xiwei, and said in a deep voice: "Crown princess, what evidence do you have to prove that the noble concubine was poisoned?"

With this question, everyone's minds became active again.

"That's right, there is no proof, why should I prove that the imperial concubine was poisoned!"

"That's right, even the imperial physician and Wu Zuo didn't find out about the poisoning! How could she find out at such a young age?"

"That's not true, but they are Concubine Shu's natal family, so of course they are helping Concubine Shu!"

"Ah... that's how it is!"

The concubines didn't really fight for Concubine Pei, it was because they couldn't understand Zhao Xiwei even more.

For a moment, the sound of whispering and whispering filled the entire inner hall.

The imperial physician, who had been silent all this time, couldn't hold his breath anymore, and clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have made a detailed diagnosis. Although the little princess vomits profusely, her heart pulse is normal and stable, and she doesn't seem to be a symptom of poisoning!"

Several officials of Ting Wei's Mansion also stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty! I have checked the vomit several times, and there is indeed no evidence of poisoning!"

"..."

The emperor raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

He turned to Zhao Xiwei and repeated it word by word: "Crown Princess, I'm asking you, do you have evidence?"

Following the emperor's turn, everyone's heads turned around like sunflowers.

It's just that those eyes are not as good-looking as Sunflower, but are like needlepoints, poking Zhao Xiwei sharply.

Angry, contemptuous, questioning... Occasionally, there are a few who seem to be more friendly, but also with a trace of pity - they are born with a delicate and delicate appearance, why are they so stupid in their hearts?

So what if it was poisoned by the imperial concubine?Who else can find out what the Tingwei Mansion and the Imperial Medical Office can't find out?
Concubine Shu chose to knock her head unconscious because she didn't want to face such a complicated situation.

You little girl is fine, you dare to stand up and accuse the imperial concubine of poisoning without any evidence?
You know, the intrigues in the palace are nothing compared to those little tricks in the back house. One hair can affect the whole body, and one careless move will lose everything. Not to mention you, the crown princess, even your entire Zhao family will be defeated. To be implicated!

Zhao Xiwei's eyes were clear, and he saluted with neither humility nor condescension in meeting these gazes: "Report to Your Majesty, there are all witnesses and evidences!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Pei's eyes were red, and she reprimanded, "I didn't poison you at all, where did you get the evidence!"

"Kang Dang" the sound of porcelain colliding sounded, the queen mother put down the teacup unhurriedly, and said leisurely: "The black can't be white, and the white can't be black. What is the imperial concubine in a hurry to refute?"

She narrowed her long and narrow phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "Why don't you sit down first and see how the Crown Princess will present evidence?"

The purple lips opened and closed, in the eyes of Concubine Pei Gui, they were as sinister as ghosts.

The Pei family has produced three generations of generals, and they have achieved great military exploits. With such confidence in her mother's family, the noble concubine has always been strong and domineering in this harem, and has never taken anyone seriously, so she naturally disdains to manage and cultivate her popularity.

The queen mother has been displeased with her for a long time, how could she kindly let her go now?

Concubine Pei gritted her teeth and stared at Zhao Xiwei fiercely: "You'd better show evidence! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Zhao Xi smiled, and softly called out the door: "Come in!"

"Yes." Two voices sounded, and two maids walked in with their heads bowed.

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Concubine Pei gave a contemptuous laugh: "Just these two maids?"

Zhao Xiwei was stunned for a moment.

Concubine Pei's expression really doesn't look like someone who poisoned...

Shaking her head, she suppressed the doubts in her heart.Which villain in this world didn't look righteous before he was exposed?

She had seen a simple, honest and shy man beat his wife to the point of bruises all over for a penny.

I have also seen a mother-in-law who usually eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, but forced her granddaughter to marry a bachelor just for a bucket of rice.

I have even seen that the lady who looks gentle and dignified, for... I don't know why, she can design to frame her sister...

It's not that she doesn't believe in imperial concubines, it's that she doesn't believe in human nature.

Thinking of this, she collected her thoughts, and replied calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, you will know soon."

The crowd looked suspicious.

His Royal Highness also frowned, Zhao Xiwei slightly nodded at him, and returned him a calm smile.

Li Xuanye pursed the corners of his lips, and his brows furrowed deeper.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

It was not convenient for Zhao Xiwei to ask at the moment, so he ordered outside the door: "Come here!!"

As if waiting for this moment, dozens of court ladies rushed in with basins in their hands.

Gold basins, cotton towels, warm water, these are all common things in the palace.

Everyone looked at the basin of water in front of them without knowing why.

Concubine Pei sneered, contemptuously: "What does the princess mean by this? Sending more than a dozen basins of water is what you call evidence?"

Zhao Xi pursed his lips slightly, showing her a "you guessed it" expression, then nodded to Lan Ruo, and ordered, "Let's get started!"
