Chapter 891 The Witness Did Not Die
Everything seems to have settled down, Gu Concubine was disheartened, and only bitterness remained in her heart. If she had known today, even if a knife was put on her neck, she would not have wanted to enter the palace and become a concubine.

When everyone was silent, Qing Zhaoyi stood up and knelt down towards the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request from you."

"If you want to intercede for Concubine Gu, you don't have to. Concubine Gu has harmed you like this, so you really don't need to waste your time talking."

"Your majesty, my concubine and my concubine Gu have lived in this Xuanhua Palace for so long. I know that my concubine is a concubine. I believe that she is innocent. Please forgive me."

It's fine if Qing Zhaoyi doesn't say anything, after saying this, it sounds to the emperor as if he wronged Concubine Gu, why everyone is begging for concubine Gu, did he do something wrong?
As an emperor, how can he allow himself to make mistakes, even if he is wrong, he must be right!

The emperor glared at Suping angrily: "What are you still doing? Don't you know what's going on with your master? Why don't you help me up!"

"Yes." Suping immediately helped Shen Qingmin up and comforted her to sit down. Shen Qingmin sobbed softly with guilt on her face.

The emperor was irritated when he heard this, and said: "Listen to me. If you are guilty, you are guilty. If you are innocent, you are not guilty. I gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it. Since there is no evidence to prove that Concubine Gu was wronged, Then this matter was undoubtedly done by Concubine Gu, come here!"

"Wait a minute."

"Queen!"

The queen lowered her brows and said, "Your majesty, my concubine was ordered to investigate this matter. I have talked with Concubine Gu before, and Concubine Gu is suspected. But if she cannot be convinced, I am afraid that the reputation of the emperor will be damaged. Please also ask the emperor Listen to my concubine, and investigate further."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "How else can we investigate? The most important witness is dead, and now there is no evidence to prove it. I have already said that, more than anyone else, I don't want this to be done by Concubine Gu."

The queen smiled knowingly, and comforted her: "The concubine knows that the emperor is more distressed than anyone else in the face of the current situation. Whether it is Concubine Gu or others, they are the emperor's darlings. The concubine does not want the emperor to regret it later. , so we must find out the truth, the emperor thinks, if we really wronged Concubine Gu, wouldn't we let the real murderer go free?"

The emperor seemed to be persuaded to the point, nodded and said: "Although that is the case, but the palace maid Yingrui is dead, how should this case be investigated."

"To be honest, the emperor entrusted the life and death of the court lady Yingrui to the concubine. The concubine originally wanted to execute her, but after thinking about it, if she still kept a secret, killing her wouldn't break the clue. The people from the Xinggong performed together." After saying that, the queen got up and knelt down to the emperor: "I also ask the emperor to forgive me, the concubine didn't intend to hide it."

The emperor was startled and said, "The empress means that the court lady Yingrui is still alive? But I clearly heard that the corpses have been transported out."

"Returning to the emperor, the concubine did this to show the real murderer. If Yingrui was really bought by someone, the real murderer would definitely let go of his guard when he learned about it. The concubine originally wanted to use this to let the murderer show his feet. , but I didn't expect that the murderer never showed up, so the concubine kept it a secret until today."

The emperor understood, and stretched out his hand to help the queen up: "The queen also wants to find out the truth, I don't care about it, since Yingrui is not dead yet, what useful news did the queen hear from her?"

The queen shook her head: "Yingrui's mouth is very strict, but the concubine concluded that she must have concealed something, and the people in the Xinggong also told the concubine in the same way."

The emperor hummed: "The female officials in the criminal palace have seen all kinds of criminals, and they can tell at a glance whether they are telling the truth. In this way, is Concubine Gu really wronged?" His eyes glanced at Concubine Gu, but he didn't get any response from Concubine Gu. He cleared his throat in embarrassment, and ordered: "No matter what, bring the person up first."

"The concubine obeys the order." After speaking, the queen glanced at Lian Xin beside her, and Lian Xin understood, and bowed back to pass on the message.

When the matter developed to this point, the atmosphere became a little weird. Yingrui was still alive, which was probably something that no one had thought of. Some people here might be panicking.

Concubine Liu chuckled softly: "It's really a turn of events, the empress is so clever, I really admire you."

The queen said casually: "This palace is also to make the emperor feel at ease, and I don't want the emperor to have any regrets. Your majesty, you say so."

"The empress is kind, and I cherish it in my heart. If Concubine Gu is really wronged, I will learn the truth in the future, and I will regret it after all. In the end, it is the empress who is careful and keeps this person."

"Your Majesty, please don't praise the concubine. The concubine concealed the emperor. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The concubine didn't want to help Concubine Gu escape the crime, but ended up becoming a sinner herself."

"Whoever dares to say that, don't worry, the queen, I will not pursue what I say, and I will never forgive others who dare to talk behind their backs."

"With the emperor's words, the concubine can feel relieved."

Of course, the empress didn't pay attention to the few present here. She was guarding against Concubine Qiu. Concubine Qiu didn't care about this matter, but it didn't mean that she really didn't pay attention to this matter. If this bully If the handle is held in her palm, it will be her loss.

Now that the emperor has golden words, even if Concubine Qiu talks about it in the future, she can still use the emperor to block her mouth.

Concubine Liu didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so she smiled at Concubine Rui and said, "What's wrong with Concubine Rui? It's cold, why are you blushing, is it very hot?"

Concubine Rui was so nervous that she couldn't speak, and Hongxia behind her hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty: "If you go back to Concubine Liu, it's because of the slaves' fault, you have to let your lady wear two more clothes, I'm afraid it will be boring, lady, Slaves are guilty."

Concubine Rui laughed dryly: "When I went out, I told you too much. You insisted that you were afraid that I would catch the cold. See, it might be misunderstood."

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

"Forget it, I know that you are doing it for my own good, so step back."

"Yes." Hongxia retreated behind Concubine Rui, Concubine Rui had calmed down a little and was not as nervous as before.

So what if Yingrui tells the truth?How the poison came from, Yingrui definitely doesn't know, no matter how the fire burns, it can't burn her body. As for Qing Zhaoyi, if she dares to tell her, then don't blame her for biting back and telling her You are welcome.

Seeing Concubine Rui being so useless, Shen Qingmin sneered in her heart. She had no choice but to cooperate with her before. Now, it seems that this woman is really stupid. In front of the emperor, she showed such a tense expression, and under such circumstances , didn't she tell everyone that she was guilty?At this moment, it could be said that it was because she was wearing a few extra clothes. Once the incident happened, she would be the first person everyone would suspect.
