Chapter 892
Yingrui was quickly brought here. At this time, Yingrui is no longer human or ghost. There are no tricks in the punishment palace. She has tried all kinds of punishments in the palace these days. To be able to be so firm, either she has nothing else to say, or the temptation given to her by others is enough for her to die.

The concubines subconsciously covered their mouths and noses to prevent the bloody smell from rushing into the nasal cavity and making people sick.

The emperor looked at Yingrui, and said in a deep voice: "After being interrogated like this, she still hasn't revealed the real culprit. Does it mean that she has nothing to say?"

"The concubine also thinks so, but since she is the only witness of this incident, she can only be interrogated in this way, and it cannot be ruled out that the temptation given by the other party is too great."

The emperor shook his head: "She wants to die with all her heart, and her life is gone. What temptation is there for her?"

Concubine Liu looked at Yingrui who was thrown on the ground, and said casually: "Your Majesty, if she is not for herself, then it must be for her family members. Why don't people check who else is in her family? Maybe they can find something .”

After hearing this, not only Yingrui reacted slightly, but even Shen Qingmin frowned, but her movements were so subtle that no one noticed except herself.

The queen nodded: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is right, so let someone check it out."

"Well, De'an, you go and make arrangements. If you find out, bring her family members to me. I want them to confront each other face to face."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yingrui subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Shen Qingmin, but saw that she didn't look at her at all, and suddenly realized something, she quickly moved her eyes away, swept over everyone present, and finally her eyes fell on the man kneeling in front of her. Concubine Gu, weakly shouted: "Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty... save this servant."

Gu Bin didn't respond, as if the person being called was not her at all. In fact, everyone knew that it was her that Yingrui called, so how could she not know?
The emperor frowned, and shouted: "Mistress Yingrui? How dare you wrong someone when you are about to die, saying, did someone deliberately make you wrong Concubine Gu? Who is the real instigator of you, tell me quickly!"

Yingrui looked blank, shook her head and said: "I don't know what the emperor means? I have already said what I should say, and I beg the emperor to give me a good time. I can't bear those punishments anymore."

"As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will naturally give you a good time."

"Your Majesty, the servant girl's words are true, and the servant girl did not tell any lies."

"Still said no!" Concubine Liu got up and went forward, blessing the emperor: "Your Majesty, you also saw that just now, Yingrui shouted for help when she saw Concubine Gu. The concubine can understand that she did it because of her subconscious mind. Someone told her that she should call Gu Bin to save her in front of the emperor, so that Gu Bin could be wronged."

"What's the problem with this...?"

Concubine Liu continued: "Your Majesty, do you still remember? She and Concubine Gu had fallen out as early as that time in the Xinggong Palace. At that time, this lowly servant girl was still in the Xinggong Palace and yelled at Concubine Gu for being ruthless. Ask Concubine Gu for help? She can't see that Concubine Gu is in danger? Your Majesty, this lowly servant girl clearly wants to make Concubine Gu more guilty, which also shows that Concubine Gu was wronged."

After pondering, the emperor nodded: "What Concubine Liu said is very true, but I forgot about it, and there is this matter, that's right, she and Concubine Gu had fallen out in the punishment palace, so how could it be possible that she and Concubine Gu are falling out now? My concubine, please help."

Yingrui was taken aback, and anxiously explained: "Your Majesty, the slaves have been in the punishment palace for so long, how can they care about these things."

Concubine Liu sneered: "Your Majesty, look at this lowly servant girl. How much she wants you to think that Concubine Gu is the envoy this time. Didn't she protect Concubine Gu desperately at the beginning? What are you saying because Concubine Gu didn't go to see her?" She, that's why she thinks it's not worth it, so it can be seen that all the previous stories were just nonsense from her."

The queen also took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, this lowly maidservant is indeed very suspicious. In all likelihood, Concubine Gu was really wronged by her."

After all, Yingrui has been imprisoned in the punishment palace for so many days. No matter how strong her willpower is, there will be times when she becomes confused. She explained just now, which happened to prove that she has a guilty conscience.

The emperor was furious, and shouted: "It's really unreasonable. Under the emperor's feet, he dared to frame the concubine. He really didn't take me seriously. When I catch the real culprit, he will not be lightly forgiven!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." The Empress stretched out her hand to comfort him, persuading him: "Your Majesty, the murderer will be brought to justice, the most important thing now is to get Concubine Gu to stand up, her legs must be numb after kneeling for so long. "

Only then did the emperor remember this incident, and quickly got up to help Concubine Gu up himself: "My concubine, get up quickly, I was misled by the traitor and caused you to be wronged."

Concubine Gu didn't want to have any further communication with the emperor, but seeing the empress's eyes from the corner of her eye, she endured it, choked up with grievances and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not wronged, and it is not too late for your majesty to clear up the grievances of my concubine." .”

The emperor nodded, wiped away tears for her with a distressed face, and then ordered: "Come on, take a seat."

"No." De'an immediately asked someone to prepare a chair for Gu Bin to sit down.

Yingrui was confused by the sudden change of scene, not knowing what to do next.

However, at this moment, Yun Lanyue's sedan chair also arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Princess Concubine is here." A group of people who were arguing at the gate of the palace knelt down respectfully and shouted loudly: "Greetings to Crown Princess Concubine."

Yun Lanyue came out of the sedan chair, and came down to them with the support of Qiao Cui, and after glancing around, she asked in a deep voice: "What's going on here? How can you be allowed to shout and drink at the gate of the palace?"

A man in plain clothes saw Yun Lanyue, as if he saw a life-saving Bodhisattva, and said on his knees: "Princess Concubine, Liu Shun, who is a lowly post, was ordered by the Empress to go out of the palace to investigate the Qing Zhaoyi poisoning case." Unexpectedly, during the investigation, I accidentally lost the token of the empress. In a hurry, I didn't bother to look for the token, so I had to go back first. Unexpectedly, they stopped the humble official from entering, and the humble official repeatedly asked them to verify the identity of the humble official. , They also shirked and did not investigate."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The steward guarding the gate of the palace said: "I would like to report to the Crown Princess, this person does not have a badge, and he insists on going in. How can a lowly position let him do what he wants? If he is an assassin, the lowly position cannot afford it."

Yun Lanyue sneered: "Which assassin would be so stupid to come and go from here? Are you looking for death? Commander Wang."

"I'm humble."

"You are the commander of Fenglin Palace. You should know the people in Fenglin Palace, right? This Liu Shun is your subordinate?" The reason why Yun Lanyue only arrived at the gate of the palace now was that it would be troublesome on the way, so he went again After entering Fenglin Palace, he brought Commander Wang to recognize him.

Commander Wang recognized Liu Shun at a glance, and replied: "Go back to Madam, this person is a subordinate of the humble official, and was sent out of the palace to handle business two days ago."
