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

Chapter 1198 Hidden Murder (5)
Because of the sudden incident, Concubine Ning didn't have time to interrogate Xue Yan, why did she let Heng'er go to the rockery forest alone, now hearing what she said, she rushed over and knelt down at the emperor's feet regardless, crying bitterly:

"Your Majesty, everyone knows the Queen's intentions. Back then, Wei Ronghua did so many things to the Queen. How could she forgive her so magnanimously? She didn't let Wei Ronghua die in order to keep her alive. Torment her slowly! What could be more heartbreaking for a mother than watching her child suffer?

Besides, the queen has always disliked concubines, and raising Heng'er under the concubine's knees is even more of an obstacle to the queen's eyes.Your Majesty, Heng'er is also your flesh and blood, the child is innocent, you must make the decision for him! "

Seeing Heng'er hurt like this, heartbroken, angry, and unbearable, already made the emperor feel extremely bad. How can parents not love their children?Hearing Concubine Ning's unreasonable trouble at this moment, Xiao Jun became even more furious. She shook off her hand and said sharply:

"In front of the queen, you'd better speak with discretion! Even if Qinxue really took Heng'er away, it may not be the queen's will. You have no evidence to speak rudely. If you want to pursue it, the queen can definitely punish you. Disrespect!"

Concubine Ning knelt on the ground, feeling that she was full of grievances and resentment that could not be vented. The emperor's attitude was like adding fuel to the flames, making her lose her mind with hatred. The ones lying on the bed were his own flesh and blood. The prince who is struggling on the edge, his life is in danger, is it more important than a woman?

Her eyes seemed to burst into flames, and Concubine Ning asked in a hoarse voice: "But your majesty, Qinxue is a first-class court lady next to the empress, and she is loyal to the empress. If the empress did not order her, how dare she lie in public with the intention of murdering her?" Prince, this is a serious crime against the Nine Clans! Who else can bribe the Queen's personal servants?"

Qingchen was about to speak when she saw Jinghan running in with Qinxue. Jinghan had heard some of what she said just now, and when she was about to defend Qinxue, she saw that she had plopped on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, this slave is wronged!" , Today, the slaves have never left the empress, everyone in Kunyi Palace can testify for the slaves, please learn from the emperor."

Jinghan held Qingchen in her arms, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Father, my daughter can also testify that Qinxue didn't leave her daughter even half a step today. She can't be the bad guy who hurt Brother Heng."

Xiao Jun said to Concubine Ning with a calm face: "Did you hear that? I believe that Jinghan will not lie."

Concubine Ning looked at the emperor incredulously, Jing Han was only a child of three or four years old, how could she take her words seriously?Besides, who can guarantee that the queen didn't instigate her to say this before?

Seeing Concubine Ning's temper, Xueyan was afraid that she would contradict the emperor and cause trouble, so she hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your majesty, this servant did not lie. can testify.”

Xueyan must not dare to lie when witnesses testify to such things. Seeing the embarrassment on the emperor's face, after Qingchen thought about it a few times, he felt relieved and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, this incident was indeed not done by Qinxue, nor was it that my concubine wanted to murder Heng'er. There may be other strange things in it that we can't think of... Your Majesty still remembers that in the disguise technique, there is something called a human skin mask." On the day after the concubine was conferred, Heng'er once gave her a sachet. At that time, the concubine was almost bitten by the flower spider, but later on, Concubine Ning couldn't find out about the little maid who caused the trouble. Concubine boldly guessed, maybe she used the same trick at that time."

Bringing up the old matter again is just to remind Concubine Ning that anyone may be framed and wronged. She didn't pursue that matter back then, but it doesn't mean that Concubine Ning has been cleared of the suspicion.If someone could be convicted only by guesswork, then she would have no chance to live to this day.

Concubine Ning is a smart person, and immediately heard the implication of the Queen's words. Suppressed by such words, Concubine Ning clenched her fists tightly, and had to swallow the anger in her heart, and swallowed Yan turned to look at the emperor.

When she reminded her, Xiao Jun immediately nodded and said, "Perhaps what you said is right. If such a person really appeared in the palace, it would not only be difficult to find, but also might be dangerous in the future."

The emperor resolutely ordered: "From now on, no matter where the princes go, there must be guards accompanying them to protect them, and the servants in the palaces should also be careful, so as not to get mixed up with bad people and cause trouble!"

Fuquan responded immediately, and then went out to order people to deliver the decree to the palaces.

The matter here has not been sorted out yet, the little fifth son came in again and said: "Your Majesty, empress, He Shurong took His Highness Fifth and His Royal Highness the Prince to see him outside, saying that he has something to ask to see the emperor and empress."

Xiao Jun raised her eyebrows in displeasure and asked, "What is she here for?"

Hearing the emperor's bad tone, the little fifth son bowed even lower, and said in a weak voice, "It seems that His Highness Fifth and His Highness the Crown Prince had some trouble."

"Unhappy?" Xiao Jun thought, if the matter is really that simple, and the Xuanjiao Hall has its own Tai Tuo to discipline, why bother to make trouble here?The emperor sighed helplessly, turned and walked out, Qingchen immediately followed with Jinghan.

Once in the courtyard, Qingchen couldn't help trembling when he saw the blood stains at the corner of Yixuan's mouth and the wound on Rong'er's face. He hurriedly pulled Yixuan over, wiped the cracked corner of the prince's mouth with a silk handkerchief and asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on? How did you get hurt like this, and follow your nanny and servants, how do they serve the master?"

While speaking, Jing Han blushed, angrily untied the whip around her waist, and held it in her hand angrily.

The corner of Rong'er's mouth was swollen, and one eye was also blue, and said vaguely: "Aren't they just a few broken books, what's the big deal, I just want to borrow them to see, the prince is like a treasure If you refuse to let me move, the stories in it are simply nonsense, all nonsense and deceit."

Yixuan turned his head sharply, looked at Rong'er sharply and said, "That's a storybook that my father and queen mother made for Jinghan and me, whether it's nonsense or not, it's not your turn to comment! You are uneasy and kind, wanting it but not being able to get it, that’s why you willfully tore up our storybook, destroying the imperial gift is a serious crime, you are stubborn and stubborn, let’s see how the emperor punishes you today!"

When Jinghan heard what Yixuan said, and saw that the torn storybook in Chang Xi's hand was her favorite fairy tale, the little girl was annoyed, and raised her whip in a fit of rage. He whipped the whip fiercely on Rong'er's face, pointed at him with his hips crossed and shouted loudly: "Xiao Rong, don't bully others too much! You are just jealous. You wanted our storybook several times before. If we don’t give it to you, you will come and grab it, and if you don’t take it away, you will destroy it, you are too hateful.”
