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

Chapter 585 Bloody Trap (13)
Concubine Li also sat down on a chair beside her, and said pointedly: "Could it be that Rong Zhaoyi wants the villain to sue first, Mr. Feng Gui personally testified against you, saying that you pretended to be a little eunuch to meet her and pushed her, causing her to have a miscarriage." Losing the Dragon Heir, what else do you have to say? If I were you, I would have pleaded guilty earlier and begged the Emperor for mercy, instead of just refusing to admit it."

The queen also said coldly: "Mr. Feng said that you were stained with blood, and Concubine Li said that when she and the emperor went to your palace, just in time for your maid to burn a little father-in-law's clothes, are these all coincidences?" ?”

Qingchen was blessed with blessings, and replied unhurriedly: "Empress, please don't worry, I have some questions and want to ask this little father-in-law named Qian Gui first, and when I understand, you will naturally ask me." I know it in my heart."

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, the queen had no choice but to order: "Then just ask."

"Yes, my concubine obeys." Qingchen stared coldly at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, seeing that he was not very old, he looked about twenty years old, his clothes were not old, even though the candlelight was dim at night , but she could still clearly see his restless eyes secretly watching everyone's expressions.

This kind of person is the type she hates the most. He is ambitious and has no bottom line. No matter where he works, he will sooner or later cause trouble because of restlessness.

"Eunuch Qian, I want to ask you, where did you see me?"

Qian Gui replied without hesitation: "Mistress, I saw you at the gate of Lingyin Pavilion. I happened to pass by at that time, and saw a figure of a little father-in-law passing by in a hurry. After a closer look, it turned out to be you, Mistress. I saw you with my own eyes. You have entered Lingyin Pavilion."

Bitten to death like this, as expected, he was prepared, Qingchen nodded, and asked again: "Eunuch Qian worked in the Miscellaneous Bureau before, did you often see Bengong?"

Qian Gui rolled his eyes, afraid of falling into the trap of her words, he thought for a while and replied: "My Lady, although I don't see you often, my servant, I can still recognize you."

Qingchen did not have an aggressive tone, but asked again seemingly casually: "Then when did Eunuch Qian see Bengong?"

Qingchen knew that he didn't dare to lie about this question, because Feng Guirong had mentioned the time of three quarters of the unitary hour in front of everyone before, so if Qingchen wanted to go to the appointment, he would leave at the second quarter of the unitary hour at the earliest. Duanyang Palace is not very far away, and it will not take a quarter of an hour at all.

Qian Gui didn't know her intentions, so he said with a guilty conscience, "It's around two quarters you."

Qingchen said with a smile: "Eunuch Qian really has good eyesight. In this season, it's already dark at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are no lights in the imperial garden. You said that I was still wearing a little eunuch's blue shirt, and the road was dark. It’s really admirable that you can still recognize Bengong.”

The muscles on Qian Gui's face twitched, and he hurriedly said: "At that time, the slave and the empress had a face-to-face meeting, so the slave recognized the empress."

Qingchen thought that this little eunuch was really treacherous and difficult to deal with. Anyway, there were no witnesses at the time, so he could say whatever he wanted, "Then dare to ask Eunuch Qian, where are you working in the handyman bureau? What are you in charge of specifically? "

After all, it was a lie, and the more you asked Qian Gui, the more confident you became. "This slave works in the Xiyuan Handyman Bureau, and is responsible for... the water collection in the palace."

After saying this, Qian Gui had already guessed Qingchen's intentions, but there was nothing he could do. The residences of the concubines in the palace were divided into Dongyuan and Xiyuan. But Bixiao Palace is in Xiyuan, and there are servants in charge everywhere, and if there is nothing wrong, especially the servants of the Miscellaneous Bureau like them, they are absolutely not allowed to walk around in the palace at will.

Qingchen asked again: "Since you are a servant of Xiyuan, it's so late, what are you doing at Lingyin Pavilion in Dongyuan?"

Qian Gui was very flustered at this time, and his face was already a little nervous. Seeing that the emperor's deep eyes seemed to be able to look directly into his heart, he was a little helpless and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Slave... Slave to find a There's something wrong with my hometown."

"Who are you looking for? What's the matter? Has anyone seen you?" Qingchen asked after her.

Qian Gui faltered, and began to glance at Concubine Li who was sitting beside the queen, his lips trembled a few times, and said: "I went to find Eunuch Li in the imperial dining room. He is a fellow of my hometown. I haven't seen him for a long time. Just go and have a look.”

Xiao Jun asked, "Have you ever seen him?"

Qian Gui gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Yes, the slave came back after talking to him a few words."

Xiao Jun told Fu Quan, "Go and ask the people in the imperial dining room, has anyone seen Qian Gui around You today?"

Fu Quan hurriedly responded, and then took people to the imperial dining room, and came back after a while and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the imperial dining room said that no one has seen Qian Gui today, and neither has Eunuch Li."

Qian Gui panicked for a moment, and hurriedly said again: "Slave, I forgot, it was the father-in-law in charge who ordered this slave to deliver something to an acquaintance, and when the slave came back, he went to look for Eunuch Li, and then saw that he was busy, so I didn't want to disturb him, so he was at the door I took one look at him and came back."

Xiao Jun squinted her eyes, her eyes became darker and darker, but she still asked calmly: "Which father-in-law in charge, told you to give someone something?"

Qian Gui was already covered in cold sweats and became more and more panicked, but he still bit the bullet and replied: "It's Eunuch Chen, the steward of the water collection house, who sent this servant to deliver shoes and socks to Chen Sheng, the nephew of the Dongyuan water collection house. Tell the truth and dare not lie."

Xiao Jun ordered again: "Go ask and see if there is such a thing."

"Yes, the servant obeys the order." Fuquan gave Qian Gui who was kneeling on the ground a hard look, thinking that this grandson really didn't want to live anymore, and every time he makes an excuse today, he has to take someone to ask for proof, which is exhausting Let's see how he will deal with him later.

Qingchen slightly hooked the corners of his lips, looked at Concubine Li with a smile, saw that she was staring at her fiercely, and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Qian, why didn't you tell the emperor when you saw me sneaking out of the palace?" With the Queen, or to tell Concubine Ning, why did you go to Bixiao Palace?"

At this moment, Qian Gui has been forced into confusion by her. He seems to be asking questions in a leisurely manner, but he hides his wit everywhere, which makes him more and more tired of coping. He originally thought that he was just a witness, but who knows? This Rong Zhaoyi will get to the bottom of it like this, if this continues, he will be exposed.

"Slave, I was afraid that I would be punished if I went back late, so I hurried back to Xiyuan and told Concubine Li."

The emperor's eyes froze, and Qian Gui hurriedly explained: "Although this will delay the time even more, the slave first went back to Xiyuan to greet Eunuch Li before going to Concubine Li, so there is no need to worry about delaying You will be punished for the work under the hands of the slave."
