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

Chapter 586 Bloody Trap (14)
Seeing that he was still a little clear in his panic, Qingchen asked Xiao Jun again: "The emperor may send someone to check, has Eunuch Qian ever gone out since he returned to Xiyuan's residence?"

Xiao Jun sneered and said, "Liu An, take someone to ask Mr. Li from the Xiyuan Water Collection Room if he has been back since Qian Guiyou."

"Yes, I'm going now, slave." Before leaving, Liu An glanced at Qian Gui, and saw his face turn pale. It seems that every word he said today will be verified by the emperor. If there is any falsehood, I'm afraid his life is in danger.

By the time Liu An went to Xiyuan, Fu Quan had already returned. He looked sideways at Qian Gui, who was kneeling on the ground with an expressionless expression on his face. Gui went to deliver things for him, not in the afternoon, Qian Gui came back in the morning to tell him that the things had been delivered, and brought back a jug of wine from his nephew. He had no errands for him in the afternoon, and he didn't see him after Shen Shi I lost my figure, and I haven’t been back yet.”

With a sound of "Huolang", the teacup in the emperor's hand shattered to the ground, causing everyone to tremble in shock. Xiao Jun said angrily, "I asked these few questions, you dog slave, but you didn't even tell the truth. Dare to bully you!"

Qian Gui was so frightened that he lay on the ground and kowtowed non-stop, "The emperor spares my life, slave, slave dare not..."

Qingchen knelt down at this moment, weeping with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, although I don't know why this servant wronged me, I have never met Feng Gui, let alone harmed her child. I have lied several times, there must be something shameful and I dare not say it, maybe Caixuan was murdered by him, but she intends to blame the concubine. The concubine actually wants to ask, everyone in the palace knows that the concubine is still under confinement In Duanyang Palace, no one can enter or leave, so who told Feng Guiren that the concubine asked her to meet at Lingyin Pavilion? Why did she trust that man so easily? The concubine rarely had any contact with her, so what could be important? risking the crime of disobeying the imperial decree and asking her to meet?"

Xiao Jun was obviously really angry, and ordered sharply: "Chuan Caihui!"

Qian Gui's lies were repeatedly exposed, and the strength of the testimony was gone. Caihui and Caixuan were both Feng Guiren's personal maids. Whoever sent the word that Feng Guiren was invited to Lingyin Pavilion, she must know.

Caihui was brought up, knelt on the ground with a restless look, kowtowed and dared not speak anymore, the emperor's voice was cold, but one could hear that he was suppressing his anger and asking, "Caihui , tell me the truth, who informed your young lady to go to Lingyin Pavilion for her appointment?"

"Yes, who is it?" Caihui obviously didn't know how to answer, but she kept looking at Concubine Li, who was fidgeting, because no one came to inform Feng Guiren, and all this was just Feng Guiren and Concubine Li. of a trap.

"Yes, he is an unfamiliar little father-in-law, and now the servants don't remember his appearance very much." Caihui didn't know what to do, so she could only answer like this.

Xiao Jun seemed to have seen something, and told Fu Quan, "Go and ask Mrs. Feng Gui, who informed her?"

Fu Quan hurriedly entered the inner room, and came out later and said: "The young master said that she was a rough envoy's servant girl. At that time, she didn't ask her where she was on errand, but said that Rong Zhaoyi ordered her to deliver a message, and then left .”

Xiao Jun slapped the table viciously, only shaking the teacup by the Queen's hand on the table, and the lid of the cup slipped off. Seeing the emperor's fury, everyone held their breath and dared not make a sound. Xiao Jun sneered: "Okay, very good, left and right In less than an hour, your masters and servants can't even remember whether the person who came to pass the message is a man or a woman. Even this so-called witness is full of lies, and it can be seen that there is a conspiracy! Fuquan!"

Fuquan's body trembled violently, and he hurriedly said, "The servant is here!"

"Take someone to search his residence to see if he has benefited from someone before he intends to frame Rong Zhaoyi!"

"Yes, the slave will go now." Fuquan gritted his teeth secretly, and led the people there in a hurry. Today, because of the high price, his leg is about to break.

Xiao Jun was so angry that she snorted twice, and said to the queen: "I really don't want to doubt Mrs. Feng Gui, she just lost her child. If I doubt her intentions at this time, she will definitely be very disappointed. But I am also disappointed, Things have come to this point, I have to wonder if this is a trap with ulterior motives, maybe no one came to inform them to go to Lingyin Pavilion, all of this is nothing more than someone colluding and directing and acting on their own!"

The queen sighed softly, and persuaded softly: "Your majesty, don't get angry, no matter how bad Feng Guiren is, he won't use the dragon heir in his belly to frame Rong Zhaoyi, the price is too high, she won't be confused So far."

Xiao Jun still asked angrily: "Then what do you think, Empress, why did Feng Guiren appear in Lingyin Pavilion, and how did her child disappear?"

The queen was dumbfounded. By this time, Concubine Li's face had also turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from the tip of her small nose. She secretly glanced at the emperor, and couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Qian Gui, you You said you saw Rong Zhaoyi entering Lingyin Pavilion, did you really see it?"

Qian Gui had already been frightened out of his wits, seeing that his own life was in danger, if he changed his mind now, wouldn't it be deceitful and framed?I just think that Feng Guiren will definitely not change her words, because once she changes her words, the emperor will definitely abolish her. As long as she does not let go, no matter what purpose he came to Lingyin Pavilion, at least the emperor will not kill him as the only witness mouthed.

Because of this, I was heartbroken, and I still insisted: "Your Majesty, this servant did not lie, this servant did indeed see Rong Zhaoyi wearing the clothes of a young eunuch entering Lingyin Pavilion, this servant really saw it."

Xiao Jun didn't speak. At this time, Fu Quan had already returned with two young eunuchs. Seeing that the person behind him was holding a red lacquered mahogany square plate with a few silver notes in it, Fu Quan replied, "Go back to the emperor, this A few banknotes were found in Qian Gui's room, 500 taels each. I don't know where he got the money? Qian Gui entered the palace for four years and has been working in the Miscellaneous Bureau, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver. It’s impossible to have so much money if I’ve been saving all the time.”

"Where did it come from?" The emperor's voice came from above his head in a gloomy voice.

Qian Gui trembled all over, and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes..."

Xiao Jun saw that he was flustered and faltered and couldn't speak, so he followed his words and said: "It was bought by someone!"

"No, this servant is telling the truth, Your Majesty, this servant is not lying..." Seeing that the emperor's tone was so firm, Qian Gui's begging voice was terrified, even heart-piercing!

"Drag out and die!" Xiao Jun didn't allow him to quibble any more, and directly gave the order, then got up and said, "Rong Zhaoyi, go back, as for Mrs. Feng... he doesn't hesitate to use the emperor's heir in his belly to frame others, I really don't want to see it again." With such a vicious person at your side, you are given a cold palace, blood should not be seen during the festival, and you are given death after the first month, and you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate until then!"
