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

Chapter 516: Many Traps (6)
Leng Zhaoyi retorted unceremoniously: "The concubine didn't understand what the empress said. The concubine has always been straightforward and has never been used to those who are inconsistent. At that time, the concubine thought that the empress was a soft and gentle person A simple woman would be willing to have a few words with the empress, but now I realize that the empress is so clever in coaxing people, your ability is probably unmatched in the harem, but the concubine also despises that kind of superficial innocence A person who is weak and unscrupulous in his heart. This kind of skill is beyond the reach of concubines, and he doesn't even bother to learn it."

Qingchen seemed to be a little annoyed, and even his voice was a little angry, "It turns out that this palace is so unbearable in Leng Zhaoyi's eyes. It's ridiculous to think about it. It's not that this palace is inconsistent, but that you can't get used to it. It is true that Gong is favored. It is obvious that I am filthy in my heart, but I have to use this kind of thinking to think about others. Is it necessary that I must remain unknown in Yinfengxuan for a lifetime, so that I can be a kind person in your eyes? If so , then I would rather not be the so-called good person in your eyes!"

Leng Zhaoyi didn't like Qingchen very much, and it was obvious to all before that, but now that the two of them had quarreled face to face, she felt that what happened in Meiyuan before was probably believable, and there was really no need to lie when she hated someone like this help her.

And Qingchen knew very well at this moment, the more fierce the quarrel between her and Leng Zhaoyi seemed, the more reliable what Leng Zhaoyi said before seemed.

Before the matter became clear, the two of them quarreled first, everyone felt dumbfounded, the empress scolded sharply: "Shut up, what's the point of arguing like this in front of the emperor?"

Qing Chen looked away with a sullen expression on her face, Leng Zhaoyi also snorted softly and said nothing, the queen said to Lin Wanyi: "Since Lin Wanyi's matter has nothing to do with you, you should get up first."

Then he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if this matter is really as the son said, and someone deliberately planned this conspiracy, then the dancer who danced just now must be involved. I don't know if she wakes up now. When she wakes up, she will definitely win." It's a good interrogation."

Just at this time a servant came in to answer, looked at the empress timidly, and said in a low voice: "Your majesty, empress empress, the dancer who led the dance just now has passed away, and the Department of Punishment said just now that there is a The little father-in-law couldn't stand the torture and bit his tongue and committed suicide. Before he died, he confessed that he put the blade on the shelf, but he didn't say who ordered it."

Xiao Jun pointed to Lian Qing on the ground and said: "Drag it down and interrogate carefully, who instructs her to slander the crown prince and Concubine Rong Gui!"

Seeing that she was doomed, Lian Qing hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, this servant did not lie, the son and Concubine Rong Gui really had an affair, and this servant saw it with her own eyes...Your Majesty, you must believe what this servant..."

Lian Qing was dragged down, but before going to Xing, she suddenly vomited blood and died. Xiao Jun ordered the imperial doctor to check what was going on, and found that Lian Qing had taken poison in advance.

It has become very clear now that murder is the best evidence for framing. If the clues are broken and there is no evidence, it will be difficult to find the person behind the scenes.

Qingchen knelt down slowly, and wept to Xiao Jun: "Does the emperor now believe that the concubine is wronged? Lian Qing was poisoned in advance, because she was afraid that if she failed to frame the concubine, she would find the mastermind behind the scenes from her." I want to ruin my innocence if I don't want my life. Your Majesty, I really don't know who I offended, and I am so hated! Now all the people involved in the incident have been silenced, which shows how cruel this person is. I beg the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter, otherwise, would it be better for the ministers and concubines to take the edge of their swords?"

Xiao Jun glanced coldly across the crowd, and suddenly smiled wryly: "My concubines are all beautiful, but who knows what kind of sinister heart is hidden under this beautiful skin! If you come out and confess now, I can still forgive you. You die, otherwise when I find out the truth, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife!"

The hall seemed to be quieter, so quiet that even the emperor's breathing could be heard clearly, probably because he couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, the queen came out to persuade him: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to my concubine and Concubine Ning?" Let's investigate, slow things down, foxes will always show their tails, even if the concubine gambles on the empress' prestige, she must investigate this matter clearly."

The emperor seemed to be a little tired and sat back on the chair, and nodded slowly, "The queen and Concubine Ning will do it, I trust you."

Seeing that Qingchen was still kneeling aside, Xiao Jun stretched out her hand to her, and said in a helpless and gentle voice: "Get up, it's my fault, the old ancestor is right, if it's really for your own good, I shouldn't love you so much."

Qingchen stretched out his cold and trembling hand, the palm of which was still wet with cold sweat, and he seemed to feel a lot more relieved when he held it warmly and firmly. "Your majesty, it's not the fault of the concubine, let alone the fault of the emperor."

Yun Lan waited for her to go to the side hall to wash her face. When she came back, the queen had already sent Hao Shuyuan down. Because of her carelessness, she was reduced to a noble figure by the queen. She was fined for half a year and banned for a month of self-examination.

The original atmosphere of singing and dancing has become a little deserted and weird. There are no candles in the huge glazed lamp hanging on the beam, but it is filled with petals. When the wind blows gently, the petals will fall, and the ribbons are flying. It's really beautiful to have a lot of noise, but at this moment, no one is in the mood to appreciate it.

The queen saw that the atmosphere was so quiet, and the emperor was in a bad mood at the moment, so she said in a discussing tone: "Your majesty, why don't you spread the song and dance again?"

Xiao Jun leaned on the dragon chair in disappointment, and kept kneading her temples with her hands, "I have a headache, let's forget singing and dancing."

Qin Xueyan hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, sometimes the concubine's father will have a headache when he returns home after a busy day. The family members found a recipe for it, and he will eat it slowly. If the Emperor is not feeling well, it is better to let the concubine also go to the emperor. How about making a bowl of soothing soup?"

Xiao Jun closed her eyes and nodded, and the queen ordered: "Go and see for yourself, if you need anything, let Qing Ding order someone to prepare it, go and come back quickly."

Xiao Jun suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze was piercing with a hint of chill, "Who did the queen say just now?"

The queen paused for a while before explaining with a smile: "Qingju, Qin Wanrong's personal maid, has the same pronunciation as Concubine Rong's boudoir name."

Xiao Jun coldly ordered: "Drag out and die with a stick, Qin Wanrong will be fined for half a year as a punishment, and the green head card will be withdrawn for three months of self-examination."

The queen's face froze, seeing Qin Xueyan was stunned, it took a while to recover and knelt on the ground and begged in fear: "The emperor has mercy, this girl was brought into the palace by a concubine from the mansion, and she didn't pay attention to her." The concubine's name is taboo, and the concubine will change it when she returns, and ask the emperor to spare her, right?"
