The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1000 Birthday (56)
Wei Ronghua was shocked, seeing that although the emperor was holding back, his livid face showed that he was furious.She looked at the queen with some fear, and saw that the queen was expressionless and indifferent, so she had no choice but to speak boldly.

"Your Majesty, Qiu He, the maid in the concubine's palace, got up this morning to go to the House of Internal Affairs to get rouge for her concubine. When she came back, she accidentally bumped into the imperial concubine. Kneeling in the ice and snow for two hours. Kneeling is fine, but the imperial concubine made her kneel on the rubble. Qiuhe's knees were bloody and bloody, and her knees were broken. The imperial doctor said that she would never be able to walk again. Unexpectedly, he committed suicide in the palace."

Wei Ronghua broke down in tears while talking, and then a little eunuch came in with a pile of blood-stained rubble on a vermilion lacquer square tray, and presented it in front of the empress.

A little palace lady can't walk anymore, there is no way out in the palace, no wonder Qiu He can't think about it.The queen sighed and said: "The imperial concubine has really gone too far this time, why bother with a slave? Even if she is not careful in her job, it is not worth it for you to punish her like this, because if such a trivial matter cost a life, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Hurt Yin? You don't like Wei Ronghua, so why take your anger out on her servants in the palace? So contemptuous of human life, could it be that your previous Kuan and Wenxun were all pretending to be in front of the emperor?"

Qingchen said in a calm manner: "Empress, this morning Qiuhe bumped into my concubine, not to mention whether she did it on purpose, but because of her insulting words, is it wrong for my concubine to punish her to kneel for two hours?" The concubine made her kneel in the imperial garden, but she was not made to kneel on such sharp rubble. As for why her knee was injured and disabled, the concubine really doesn't know what happened. If the empress doesn't believe it, she can ask A servant in the imperial garden. Even if Qiu He died because of a concubine, it was because she provoked and caused trouble first. The concubine does not need to blame herself too much, not to mention that the concubine did not lie. As for who despises human life, everyone knows , The concubine has a clear conscience. There are gods standing three feet above the head, ordinary people do such things, and they are still terrified. If a pregnant person is so vicious, is it true that he is not afraid of retribution?"

Hearing her words, Wei Ronghua became very angry, and asked angrily: "What does the imperial concubine mean, is it that the concubine killed the servants in her palace and blamed it on the empress?"

Qingchen snorted coldly: "Wei Ronghua, I want to ask you, the House of Internal Affairs and the Empress's Chengkun Palace are not in the same direction at all. Why did Qiu He appear near Chengkun Palace after receiving her things? Last time she She sprinkled the powder all over Ben Gong, and this time it was rouge again, could it be that her eyes are blind? Or was she instructed by someone to hit Ben Gong specifically?"

Qingchen thought that the empress' methods were indeed vicious, fearing that she would not be able to kill her with a Sang Guirong, but also with the life of a servant as a guarantee. Not only did she want to pay for her life, but she also wanted to ruin her reputation.If she fell on Sang Guirong today, she will be punished for several crimes now, and if she commits suicide later, she will be tortured to death by them!

Wei Ronghua knew why Qiu He went to Chengkun Palace, because she followed secretly with her things. When Qingchen went in a warm sedan chair, Qiu He had no chance to do anything. When she came back, she was afraid of her. After walking a few steps, she would still take Nuan Yue back to the palace, so Qiu He had to do it hastily.It's just that this girl didn't expect that she would die for it.

Not knowing how to justify himself, Wei Ronghua had no choice but to say that he didn't know, "The concubine just asked her to get something, who knows why she ran there, maybe there is some private matter, the empress is rambling so much, It’s nothing more than trying to shirk responsibility. The evidence is in front of you, and nothing you say can change the fact that human lives are ignored.”

"Even if you are a slave, you still have parents and relatives. Mrs. Wei is also a mother. You should be more compassionate and accumulate more blessings for the children in your womb." Qingchen didn't bother to talk to her anymore. Instead, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter clearly means that someone deliberately framed the concubine, and the concubine begged the emperor to let Lord Fu find out the truth. If it is found out that Qiu He did not commit suicide, but was deliberately murdered." If you die, the emperor must punish him severely."

The last time Qiuhe touched her, Qingchen was almost stung to death by a wasp, this time it was her again, the emperor was very annoyed when he remembered the past, and ordered coldly: "The imperial concubine is right, and some things should be investigated carefully. Otherwise, some people will never take the slave's life seriously. The imperial concubine is tolerant, and some people will use her tolerance to make troubles. If the truth is found out this time, I will never tolerate it again. No matter who it is, they can do it for themselves Go ahead. Fuquan, go and tell Fu Guang that I will thoroughly investigate Qiu He's death, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything, just find out the truth!"

Fu Quan hurriedly responded and went out to pass on the message. The emperor coldly glanced at Wei Ronghua, who was kneeling on the ground with tears still hanging from the corner of his eyes, and snorted heavily: "You should get up first, just go back to the palace and wait for the news. Later, Fu Guang will go to the post-mortem with Wu Zuo, and soon the truth of Qiu He's death will be revealed to you, so you don't have to rush when you are sad. I really didn't expect that Qiu He, a palace maid, would be just a mere swipe by your side Moon, you can value it so much." The emperor's last words contained some irony in them.

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, and the queen refused to help and say a few words, Wei Ronghua had no choice but to say: "Yes, my concubine obeys the order, and my concubine will go back now." After finishing speaking, she looked pitifully at The emperor with a gloomy face didn't move for a long time, until Xiao Wuzi came in to answer, Wei Ronghua got up and walked out holding Wei Hong's hand.

At this time, the queen will never disobey the emperor's will no matter what. After all, the words of the old ancestors are in her head. Wouldn't all expectations come to naught?At this time, even if she is wronged, she will definitely obey the emperor.

The little five waited silently, the emperor knew the reason when he saw him like that, so he ordered: "The empress should go out and appease the concubines for me. After all, Sang Guirong's death is not a trivial matter, and the empress will issue a strict order not to let him People talk nonsense, let alone spread rumors to hurt the prince and the imperial concubine. If I hear any unbearable rumors, I will not forgive them lightly! In addition, although the matter has not been clarified yet, the queen will discuss it with Concubine Ning. Let’s leave it to you to deal with it.”

The queen replied respectfully: "Yes, the emperor mourns, the concubine knows how to do it, the emperor can rest assured."

The emperor nodded, and the empress retired.When the queen came out of the side hall, the fifth son whispered back: "Your Majesty, the ancestors sent someone to tell you that the emperor will take the imperial concubine, His Royal Highness, and Master Fu together to visit Yongshou Palace. The ancestors have something to ask."
