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

Chapter 514: Many Traps (4)
Qingchen was really surprised, these rumors probably came recently, and Xihe Palace lived in a remote place, she didn't even know about it.There are many people who want her to die, but not many people know about the past between the emperor and Xie Wanyi. Those who know are afraid to say it, so who knows that the emperor will not believe it, and wants to spread rumors and slander like this she?
Xiao Jun's voice was harsh and full of decisive killing intent, except for Hao Shuyuan's sobbing, there was no other movement heard in the hall.

Such a silent and cold atmosphere seemed to freeze people to death. Not only did they not dare to move their bodies, even if they breathed heavily, they were afraid that it would provoke the emperor's wrath.

Seeing Hao Shuyuan talking nonsense and blindly refusing to admit her mistakes, the queen couldn't bear it and said angrily: "Today is the emperor's birthday, and I and Concubine Ning are too busy with many trivial matters, so I hope that Hao Shuyuan can help you. The palace has arranged everything in this Xinhua Palace so that the emperor can have a good day. But you are lucky, there is something wrong with poor supervision. It is indeed too lenient, that's why you are so unscrupulous, and I don't want to punish you, but you are really disappointing."

Hao Shuyuan bit her lip, knowing that the queen was going to send her off, so she had to defend herself a few more words, tearfully said: "Empress, no matter how careful the concubine is, she can't hold back someone who has a heart, can't she? Even the concubine Is there nothing wrong with His Royal Highness for dereliction of duty, if he hadn't carefully prepared this song and dance, how could someone take the opportunity to almost harm your concubine?"

Just when Hao Shuyuan was biting Xiao Jue tightly, a little maid beside Lin Wanyi suddenly ran out and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, if your slaves dare to testify, Your Highness will never frame your concubine, because... because Mei Xue was shocked." This dance was originally prepared by His Highness for the Empress alone."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, everyone was guessing the hidden meaning hidden in the little palace lady's words, but no one dared to ask.

Lin Wanyi saw that the maidservant beside her suddenly ran out to testify recklessly, she was startled that something bad might happen to her upper body, she hurriedly scolded: "Lian Qing, what nonsense are you talking about, you are a rough servant girl, what are you doing here? Chaos, come back soon!"

But Lian Qing knelt on the ground stubbornly, and said tremblingly: "What I said is the truth, Your Highness likes your concubine so much, how could you be willing to hurt her? On New Year's Eve, Your Highness met in Xiangxue Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms, accidentally Startled a night bird, your concubine said it was Mei Xue who startled her, His Highness praised her for her talent, and even kissed her, the servants could see clearly, His Highness loves your concubine, how could he be willing to hurt her!"

Before she finished speaking, everyone was already exclaiming. Qingchen unconsciously grasped the inner sleeve tightly with his hand hidden in his sleeve. Out, the whole person was stunned and generally at a loss.

No matter how confused Xiao Jue was about such a thing, she would never tell anyone about it. She really never thought that there were other people in the Merlin that night.

There were already people whispering among themselves, and even started to look at her with contempt.Xiao Jun's expression could no longer be described with anger. He pulled her away, the strength in his hands was strong enough to crush her shoulder blades, he looked coldly into her panicked eyes, and asked through gritted teeth: "New Year's Eve Ye, have you ever been to the Plum Garden?"

Qingchen tried hard not to let herself pass out, clenched her fist tightly and relied on the pain in her palm to support herself to keep a clear mind. If she said even one wrong word at this moment, she would definitely die, even Xiao Jue would also be burdened by herself. "The concubine has been there, but it's not what the emperor thinks, and it's not what Lian Qing said."

Ye Hanyu was framed by Shu Guiyi on New Year's Eve and almost lost her life. When Qingchen went to visit Ye Hanyu, she had just returned from the plum garden. She believed that she must be carrying plum fragrance on her body. The emperor was there at the time, so he might not have noticed it. a little.Lying at this moment will only make things worse and arouse his suspicion even more.

"You've been there, so what did you do?"

The emperor's eyes were not only angry, but also filled with faint pain. This kind of gaze made Qingchen feel like a knife pierced his heart, not only because of his distrust of him, but also because of his distress at the moment. I can't get better.

"Your majesty, the concubine did nothing, and the concubine and the prince are innocent."

Believe it or not, at least it would make him feel better.

Xiao Jue saw that he was forcing Qingchen so much, so he couldn't bear to kneel down and said: "Brother Huang, this matter is all my brother's fault..."

"Shut up, I didn't ask you!"

Just when the emperor was furious, there was a loud "slap" sound from below, and everyone's eyes were attracted to him. Even Qingchen, who was in a desperate situation, couldn't help turning his head to look at him in surprise. .

In the main hall, Leng Zhaoyi pointed angrily at Lian Qing, who was covering her face and fell to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, this lowly servant girl intends to slander His Highness and Empress, I really can't stand it anymore, although I don't know what her intentions are." , but the concubine can testify that there is no such thing as embarrassment between the empress and His Highness. As for Mei Xue Jinghong, what Concubine Rong said was right, but she said it to the concubine, not to His Highness. "

Leng Zhaoyi's sudden action made everyone present puzzled, even Xiao Jun asked in doubt, "What does this have to do with you?"

Because Leng Zhaoyi got angry, her voice was a little unsteady, but she still replied in a clear voice: "The emperor asks Rong Chenqie to report carefully, because the ministers and concubines suffered from the cold before, they wanted to be lazy on New Year's Eve, and sent I went to the empress to ask for sick leave. But that night, the servants who served in the concubine's palace were all allowed to go out to play by the concubine. The concubine was bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Unfortunately, I ran into the nobleman Wan at the time in the imperial garden. Therefore, the concubine invited her to enjoy the plum blossoms in the Xiangxue Garden.

When we entered the plum garden, a flock of nocturnal birds was startled, and the concubine was taken aback. Concubine Rong Gui even teased the concubine for being timid, saying that it was a poetic and poetic scene. Dissatisfied, he even quarreled with her.Just as they were arguing, they saw His Highness came out with Xiao Luzi, holding a few plum blossoms in his arms, saying they were going to give to the ancestors.At that time, the concubine and concubine Rong Gui only had a face-to-face meeting with His Highness, so it was as unbearable as this lowly maid said! "

Lian Qing saw that what Leng Zhaoyi said was true, she shook her head hurriedly and said: "No, Leng Zhaoyi is lying. At that time, there were only slaves, His Royal Highness and Concubine Rong Gui in the plum garden, and Leng Zhaoyi was not present at all. I saw His Highness kissing your concubine with my own eyes, and my servants saw it with their own eyes!"
