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

Chapter 608 Conspiracy to seize the emperor's heir (9)
Yao Shuyi was very moved when she heard the emperor's words, and said with tears: "The concubine thanked the emperor for his trust, the emperor is assured, the concubine will treat the second prince as her own, and teach him to grow up, even if he can't As outstanding as the emperor, but he will definitely not let him humiliate the face of the royal family."

Xiao Jun nodded happily, "I know you can do it."

Although Concubine Li couldn't feel anything unusual on her face here, she was already so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Yao Shuyi and Xin Chongrong were so desperate, which surprised her, and felt like the mud couldn't support the wall.She originally thought that it would be best if Xiao Jieyu could quarrel with Leng Shuyi. If the emperor angered Leng Zhaoyi, she must have the custody of the eldest prince. Even if she could not get the eldest prince, she could still take the opportunity Framed Yao Shuyi and Xin Chongrong, if the emperor sends them away, then the second prince will definitely be brought up by her, so it is very good.

Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, Xin Chongrong actually asked the emperor never to appoint the second prince as the prince, so that the two have no more suspicions, and she worked hard to plan a plan that ended up in vain. The empress's face can't be violent and she can only bear it, this feeling is going to explode her internal organs.

Qingchen and Concubine Ning exchanged a knowing smile. Seeing Concubine Li endured so much hardship, occasionally showing a hideous and distorted ugly face under the forced calm, she couldn't help turning her head away in disgust, unwilling to look at her again glance.

Since the matter has nothing to do with Yao Shuyi and Xin Chongrong, and the small flower hall is so small, it doesn't make any sense to be crowded here, so Qingchen said to Xiao Jun: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the second prince also needs someone to take care of him. How about letting Yao Shuyi and Xin Chongrong go back first?"

Xiao Jun nodded and said: "Yes, you two go back first, I and the queen are here, you don't have to worry about the rest, just go back and take good care of the second prince."

"Yes, the concubine obeys." The two bowed and retired.

As soon as Yao Shuyi and the others left, the Punishment Department said back and forth: "Reporting to the emperor, that girl died because she couldn't stand the torture. The little eunuch who bought it said that Concubine Ning ordered him to do this, and gave it back to him. For the hard work of 500 taels, let him not talk nonsense to others."

The queen asked in surprise: "Concubine Ning? Does this matter have anything to do with you?" When she asked the last sentence, her tone became much stricter.

Concubine Ning's face turned cold at first, and she looked at Concubine Li with cold and murderous eyes, seeing Concubine Li with a provocative expression on her face, caressing the gold shell gem armor in her hand leisurely, with a look of complete indifference look.

Qingchen took a deep breath, thinking how much Concubine Li had thought about it so that she could make another plan if one plan failed, and she was so thorough that she even thought out the way out when the conspiracy failed.Concubine Li intended to adopt the eldest prince at the beginning, but the emperor was afraid that she would not have enough energy to take care of the child, so he entrusted the eldest prince to Leng Zhaoyi to be raised.

If people who don't know the truth at this time speculate that Concubine Li has ulterior motives to frame the eldest prince, then in the eyes of others, Concubine Ning also has the same motive to seek the emperor's heir, and Concubine Ning's situation is even more unfavorable, because The so-called witness was testifying against her.

But except for the emperor, the remaining four people knew in their hearts that this was because Concubine Li was unwilling to lose this round and always wanted someone to back her up.She didn't frame Qingchen because Qingchen personally recommended Yao Shuyi to the emperor to raise the second prince when she was in the cold palace. things to frame her.

Concubine Li sneered in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what Qingchen was thinking. She didn't even want a ready-made child, so she was so sure that she could give birth to a prince for the emperor in the future?Xin Chongrong was even more stupid, begging the emperor not to make his own child the crown prince, he dared not even fight, he was really cowardly.

Although Concubine Ning was annoyed in her heart, she was a person with a calm mind after all, and said to the emperor in a calm manner: "Your Majesty, empress empress, that little eunuch testified that my concubine murdered the emperor's heir, and this concubine did not prove himself Innocent evidence, but the concubine also has something to say.

The concubine helps the empress to manage the six palaces. She can do nothing but settle accounts. How many rewards are there from the emperor in which palace? He remembers his whereabouts clearly, and even records when and how much money he rewarded the slaves for what. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask someone to settle it. 500 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it will not disappear out of thin air. There must be problems if such a large vacancy suddenly appears.

The emperor and the empress also know that there are slaves in every palace who specialize in managing money, and the master will not take care of everything, if there is no clear account of the money, then the slaves will lose all the master's money go?Besides, if there is no limit to spending money, how can the Ministry of Internal Affairs bear the expenses?The concubine begged the emperor to check the accounts of the concubine and the concubine's account at the same time. The concubine Li just entered the palace not long ago, and the accounts of a few months are the best to check, so it may not be necessary How much work. "

Concubine Li had already understood Concubine Ning's intentions when she was talking about the accounts, and she had already started to panic, she gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "It's not me who testified against the little eunuch in the purchase, why did you want to investigate the people in my palace?" accounts?"

Concubine Ning said calmly: "Sister, don't worry too much. Sooner or later, the accounts in your palace will be checked. Every month, the palace will have to make a clear count of the expenses in each palace and hand it over to the empress. If my sister finds it inconvenient, you can ask the emperor to designate someone to go to my sister's palace to investigate, if you don't trust me, don't you trust the emperor?"

Qing Chen also sneered at the right time and said: "The two elder sisters suspect each other, so why don't they both check the accounts, I'm afraid that Li Concubine will not dare. Also, if such a large deficit is found in the elder sister's palace, wouldn't it be necessary to check the accounts?" Arouses suspicion? In fact, my concubines have always felt that things like witnesses are not necessarily reliable sometimes. If Concubine Ning can use money to buy people to murder the eldest prince, then others can also use money to buy them to give false testimony. It makes sense, money is equally useful no matter how it is used. Besides, since the dead court lady and this little eunuch are loyal to the same master, why are they not the same person who confessed back and forth? The concubine thinks their words are not worth trusting!"

The queen wanted to teach Concubine Li a lesson, if she dared to do something wrong behind her back, she would let her know the consequences of making her own decisions, so she just pretended not to see Concubine Li's panicked eyes begging for help, and nodded: "Then check it out first. Starting from the concubine's position, and then going down layer by layer, you can always find clues."
