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

Chapter 1288: Concubine Li's Dark Trick (35)
Qingchen glanced at her contemptuously, seeing her unwillingness to lose her temper, snorted coldly, "What does Concubine Li mean by this, I don't understand."

Concubine Li didn't want to make any more detours at this time. Looking at the queen, she raised her chin and said aggressively, "Why do you pretend to be confused, empress? During the autumn hunting a few days ago, what Qi'er did to the prince, presumably the empress would not Will forget so quickly.

Qi'er made such a big mistake, but the empress did not pursue it. On the surface, it seemed that she was magnanimous and spared the eldest prince, but no one knew how she treated them behind the scenes.Just like these things sent over today, how can people bear it for a long time if they torture people with such trivial efforts?
After all, Xiao Jieyu chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake because she hoped that the empress would take pity on him because the eldest prince was still a child, and give him a way out so that he would be less humiliated and tortured. "

Qingchen's eyes froze, and he knew that Concubine Li was going to take the opportunity to make trouble.

Lin Guiyi sat on the chair next to her, her face as pale as a piece of white paper, she didn't dare to vent her breath, her hands were firmly grasping the armrests of the chair, she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that any inappropriate words would ruin her life life.

She also understands now that Concubine Li really wanted to keep her. She bought the little eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to create the illusion that Xiao Jieyu could not bear the humiliation and threw herself into the lake. from Queen.

Although she thought of this, she was completely confused about what Concubine Li said, but she didn't dare to ask, and just anxiously waited for the next sentence.

Sure enough, the emperor asked: "What happened, why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

Concubine Li looked at the queen with a look that was bound to win, and said triumphantly: "It's no wonder that the emperor can't understand, isn't it? After such a big thing happened, the empress chose to calm down, and no one told the emperor. , So today's incident, people who don't know about it will think that Lin Guiyi is deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Jieyu, and the empress will really find someone to take the blame.

Poor Lin Guiyi was being taken advantage of by others, yet she still didn't know it, she devoted herself to serving her empress, and she was grateful from the bottom of her heart for the empress empress' kindness. "

The emperor looked at her coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, just say it, I don't like to listen to nonsense."

Concubine Li hurriedly restrained her attitude, and truthfully told the emperor how Qier framed Yixuan during the autumn hunting, and added at the end: "Whether the empress is really magnanimous or falsely merciful, only you I know that the courtiers and concubines never believe that the empress can be so tolerant to those who want the prince's life.

It turned out that the empress did not blame them, but wanted to torture Xiao Jieyu's mother and son slowly, so that they would not live like this, and live in humiliation and panic. Wouldn't it be a better punishment? "

Qingchen said calmly: "In this way, my intentions are really vicious. To torture people in such a stupid way, is it because I am afraid that Xiao Jieyu's mother and son will not go to the emperor and cry about how vicious I am?"

The emperor turned his head and asked: "Why did you not mention it to me when such a big thing happened? Qi'er should be punished if he made a mistake. Why do you need to cover up his fault for him?
Chen'er, you are just too lenient, that's why your kind intentions are always unrewarded.Fortunately, I sent Fufeng to protect the prince at that time. It seems that my worries were not superfluous. In the future, Yixuan can't only be surrounded by servants like Chang Xi, and I have to give him a few more skilled bodyguards to follow. "

Seeing him addressing himself so affectionately in front of so many people, Qingchen was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Although Yixuan fell off his horse, luckily everything is fine, thanks to God's blessing.

The concubine didn't tell the emperor, because she felt that the matter of Rong'er had passed not long ago, and the emperor finally had a chance to go out to relax, and didn't want to provoke the emperor to be angry again.

What's more, Qi'er is still a child. It's the nature of a child to be ignorant and impulsive at this age. As a concubine, how can I not give him a chance to repent?That's why the concubine asked someone to send the saddle to Xiao Jieyu, hoping that she would teach Qi'er well from now on so that he would not do such things that hurt his siblings again. "

Xiao Jun nodded, held her hand and said in a warm voice: "I believe you, if you don't really want to forgive Qi'er, you can report this matter to me, and when I punish him, you will intercede for him, which will be more embarrassing." Your aunt is tolerant and magnanimous, instead of hiding this matter for him in private, it has fulfilled his reputation."

For a prince, the crime of mutilating siblings is the biggest stain, and it is also the most taboo thing for the former courtiers, because no one wants to support a prince who has a bad statement to ascend to the throne. Even if you support meritorious service, it is not a matter of face.

If the queen really wanted to ruin Qi'er, all she had to do was make a big deal out of it, and Qi'er's reputation would be considered ruined.The queen forgave him even though she knew he had ulterior motives, which shows that she is not a narrow-minded person.

With his trust, she will not be afraid of those people with ulterior motives pouring dirty water on her body. More importantly, Li Fei doesn't understand that today's matter, if anyone accuses her, it will not be worse than Li Fei.

But it happened to be her, who was not trusted by the emperor in the first place. The more she pushed herself hard, the more determined the emperor was to believe that this was a conspiracy against the queen, even though it was true.

The emperor held her hand with imperceptible strength, and the emperor and empress looked at each other deeply, and only they could understand the deep meaning in their eyes.

Qingchen said softly: "Your Majesty, although these young fathers-in-law testified that it was the concubine who ordered them to treat Xiao Jieyu's mother and son harshly, but they are only one-sided, and there is no evidence to prove that the matter was done by the concubine. And Xiao Jieyu is not I really can't think of committing suicide by throwing myself into the lake for a while, and further investigation is needed, what I mean by this concubine is to lock up these little eunuchs first, and wait until the author finds out the cause of Xiao Jieyu's death before it's too late."

The emperor nodded, "Then do as you wish."

Qingchen ordered people to take these young eunuchs down to watch and put them under custody first, and then asked Lin Guiyi, "I heard from that girl Bishu that Xiao Jieyu went to look for you before she died. What did she tell you?"

Lin Guiyi's face froze, and she hurriedly replied nervously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what that girl Bi Shu said, but I haven't seen Xiao Jieyu, and even she threw herself into the lake. I just learned about it when the Empress summoned my concubines." After speaking, he glanced dodgingly at Concubine Li.

(At this point every night, Xiaochen rushes to draft the manuscript like a dog, alas...)
