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

Chapter 581 Bloody Trap (9)
Yun Lan replied gently: "Miss Concubine Li was joking, Mistress Zhaoyi is restraining her feet, how could she not be here, she is really unwell and had to rest early, please forgive me."

Concubine Li asked coldly: "If I don't believe it, is it possible that Rong Zhaoyi is so sick that he can't even get up? Before that, Imperial Physician Gu came to ask for a safe pulse every day. If there is something wrong , why didn't she come to report back, it can be seen that you are playing tricks, hurry up and let me and the emperor go in and have a look!"

Yun Lan looked distressed, Xiao Jun looked at her, her face became more gloomy, she thought for a while and asked: "Since you are not feeling well, why didn't you come back to me earlier?"

Yun Lan didn't seem to be as calm as usual, she was a little nervous and stumbled when she spoke, "Your Majesty, Madam, she said, she said that the Emperor is busy with state affairs, and it's not a serious illness, but just a severe headache from the wind and cold, so the imperial physician is not allowed to report back Your majesty, afraid of causing trouble to the emperor, he took medicine and wanted to take a nap on the couch to rest his mind for a while. The servant did not know why the concubine Li insisted that the concubine Zhaoyi was not there. Dare to ask the empress what she meant by this? Can't understand."

Concubine Li had a sarcastic and sinister smile on her lips, and she said in a cold voice unhurriedly: "Just now, a little eunuch came to report to this palace, saying that Rong Zhaoyi left Duanyang Palace secretly, and I don't know where he went. The palace still doesn't believe it, now that you are evasive in your words, and you are blocking the emperor and me from entering, could it be that Rong Zhaoyi is really not there? If so, you are deceiving the emperor, how many brains do you have to deceive the emperor?"

Yun Lan's face became more and more flustered. She knew that the more disturbed she was, the stronger Concubine Li would be, and the more she would show her feet, "I don't dare, this servant never lied, my lady really didn't go out , it’s just that I’m not feeling well and I’m resting, so I’m begging the emperor to believe what my servant said?”

Concubine Li turned her head and ordered sharply: "Yin Xiang, go in and see if Rong Zhaoyi is there?"

Yinxiang came out to bless the body, "Yes, I obey."

Yun Lan hurriedly reached out her hand to stop her, and looked at the emperor beggingly, "Your Majesty, your empress is really not feeling well and resting, since empress Li said that someone had informed her, why didn't the people from Gaomi go to empress empress, or Why don't you just go to the imperial study to tell the emperor, but you went to find the concubine Li? Duanyang Palace is the closest to the imperial study, and the empress is the head of the harem, otherwise there is Ningfei empress who is in charge of the sixth palace, so why did the little eunuch run away instead? Tell Concubine Li who is farthest from Duanyang Palace, is there some kind of conspiracy?"

Concubine Li sneered, and turned to Xiao Jun and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to spend too much time talking with this servant, why don't we let Yin Xiang go in and have a look?"

Xiao Jun looked deeply at Yun Lan, as if wanting to see through her mind, nodded and said: "If there is any conspiracy, go in and see first."

Yun Lan knew that since the emperor had given the order, there was no need to stop her, so she hurriedly took Jinxiu aside, feeling uneasy like never before, as if hesitant to speak, if Xiao Jue didn't Knowing that Qingchen has come back, looking at her, she thought that Qingchen was really not in Duanyang Palace, so she lightly pursed her lips, Xiao Jue thought that Yunlan was really amazing.

Before Yin Xiang reached the gate of Ming Luan Hall, she heard a coughing sound from inside, and then Qing Chen's weak and hoarse voice asked: "Who is outside, why is it so noisy?"

She opened the cotton curtain embroidered with rose-red magpies on branches, and when she came out, she saw that Concubine Li and the emperor were there, and even Xiao Jue was following beside the emperor. She seemed very surprised, and hurried out and knelt down to pay her respects, "Mr. The concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is Jin An, the concubine just took a nap because she was not feeling well, but she did not come out to greet the emperor in time, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."

When Concubine Li saw her coming out, she was startled and angry, her expression was distorted and stiff for a long time, but the emperor saw her coming out, her tense face seemed to relax a lot, he stretched out his hand to support her and said: "Body Uncomfortable, why don't you let Gu Yunfeng come over and have a look, I shouldn't wake you up, but Concubine Li said that someone saw you go out dressed as a little eunuch, I didn't believe it, but I have to let Concubine Li take a look to be at ease, right? , I knew you wouldn't be so careless."

Qing Chen asked with a faint smile: "Concubine Li said that the concubine is not here, so did you tell the emperor why the concubine is not here and where she went? If you want to frame the concubine for not being in your palace, there must be a reason, otherwise this is an act of resistance. A concubine cannot bear the crime of non-compliance."

Concubine Li held back the anger in her heart, knowing that her work was in vain, she had already entered Lingyin Pavilion, how could she be allowed to escape?The queen's short step made the whole thing fall short!Concubine Li gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do.

"Since someone has come to tell me that what they said is true, then I should tell the emperor as well, and I can't pretend that I don't know anything." Concubine Li's words were a little forced, mixed with a little unwillingness and anger.

Qingchen smiled and asked unhurriedly: "Sister Concubine Li is very popular, so could it be that the person who reported the letter was from your palace? Otherwise, why didn't you tell the emperor and queen, but went to find you, sister? "

Concubine Li gritted her teeth, held back her breath, and said in a gentle voice: "Could it be that Rong Zhaoyi wants to say that this palace is going to frame you, if you have never been out of Duanyang Palace, wouldn't this palace be asking for trouble by telling the emperor like this? Even if you come back in time, someone will come out to testify, you just have to wait."

Qingchen smiled lightly and said: "If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse. At this moment, the concubine thinks of a sentence, 'Sit behind closed doors, and disaster will come from the sky.' Will you find the so-called witness in advance?"

Because of doubts, she naturally paid extra attention, and Yin Xiang suddenly said to Concubine Li: "Your Majesty, smell it carefully, is there something burnt in the air, it's like... like fabric burnt Burnt smell..."

Concubine Li's beautiful eyes narrowed, she smelled it carefully, and indeed she smelled it, she knew it and hurriedly said to Xiao Jun: "Your Majesty, someone wants to destroy the evidence, and what was burnt must be the dress that Rong Zhaoyi went out to wear just now. If the concubine's guess is correct, there must be something stained on that dress, and Rong Zhaoyi ordered someone to burn it in order to destroy the traces."

Xiao Jun naturally also smelled this unpleasant smell, and asked Qingchen: "What is it burning? Is it really clothes?"

Qingchen replied calmly: "I don't know, I have been resting in the Nuan Pavilion just now, and I don't know what they burned. Your Majesty, wait a moment, Rong Chenqie will find out after asking."

Seeing that Xiao Jun didn't stop her, Qing Chen turned around and asked the servants in her palace, "Who was burning what just now, show it to the emperor and this palace."
