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

Chapter 995 Birthday (51)
Seeing that Yunlan and the others had doubts on their faces, Qingchen sneered and said, "Have you forgotten how Sang Guirong's child disappeared? Back then, Sang Guirong was given abortion pills after drinking a cup in the queen's palace." The tea was brought by the queen's personal servant girl. The queen couldn't explain clearly, so she was punished by the emperor and moved to the palace. How about it, but the queen herself still doesn't know whether the tea was made by someone in the queen's palace? She didn't do it, but she was charged with killing the emperor's heir, how could she not hate Sanggui? Allow?"

After a pause, Qingchen took a breath, and continued to gnash his teeth and said: "It took a lot of effort for the queen to move back to Chengkun Palace. She didn't send Sang Guirong right away because she was afraid that people would say that she was taking revenge. Sang Guirong died in the hands of this palace, how proud do you think the queen is? Not only did she avenge herself, but she also made Sang Guirong's death the biggest stumbling block to prevent this palace from being a concubine. She is so poisonous Thoughts! Whether Sang Guirong killed Bengong or Bengong killed her, neither of us will end well. Why do you think she suddenly took Qin Wanyi and Lin Wanyi to Chengruiting? Where is she? Going to enjoy the snow, if the prince hadn't appeared in time, wouldn't she have captured me on the spot, and I would have died at that time!"

After several people listened to her words, for a while, everyone didn't know what to say except the shock on their faces.

Qingchen understood that the reason why the empress summoned Fu Guang to thoroughly investigate this matter was because he saw his uprightness, and this person had never had anything to do with the concubines in the harem. His refusal to be partial was tantamount to helping the empress.Even if the queen knows the truth, she can't say something, but she can use Fu Guang to say it.

Qingchen stood up suddenly, but the pain coming from her ankle, which was as thin as a silk thread, made her fall down and sat down again. The heartbreaking pain made her break out in a cold sweat instantly.Holding the corner of the table tightly with her hands, her pale joints were about to break the thin layer of skin and protrude, she said in a hateful voice: "Queen, I will keep this account for you, you owe me, There will always be a day when I settle with you!"

Such a strong desire for revenge made her unwilling to grit her teeth and live on. She pulled Yun Lan away, and she eagerly ordered: "Yun Lan, go to your ancestor and tell her the truth about everything that happened today, Fu Guanglai. I can't escape the investigation of this case. If it is revealed that the prince is taking the blame for me, then everyone will definitely think that I have an affair with him, and they may even say that we had a private meeting in Chengrui Pavilion , was accidentally smashed by Sang Guirong, the prince will kill people and silence. At that time, even the emperor will lose face. Therefore, the prince must bear the crime for this matter, no matter how the ancestors deal with me afterwards, I will admit it , but this matter must not be sidetracked, otherwise not only will my life be lost, but the son will also be stigmatized as an adulterous concubine. At that time, the emperor will not protect me, he will definitely go crazy."

Yun Lan knew that this matter would lead to an unmanageable situation if she was not careful, so she had to rely on the prestige of her ancestors to suppress this matter, at least it had to be within their control.

After being blessed, Yun Lan said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will go to Yongshou Palace to ask the old ancestor. Even if he doesn't think about the Empress, the old ancestor will definitely think about the emperor and the son."

Qingchen warned again: "You go, hurry up, and in any case, invite the old ancestor here before Fu Guang draws conclusions."

She didn't know if it was right for her to do so, but right now she really had no other way.The emperor is always the emperor, even if he wants to protect her, he can't show favoritism in front of everyone. At this time, no matter how anxious he is, there is always a limit to what he can do for her.

The empress was still waiting outside, she couldn't stay in the side hall for long, so Qingchen got up and supported Jinxiu, and walked out reluctantly.

Gu Yunfeng briefly reported her injury to the emperor, and then mentioned something seemingly unintentionally, "Your majesty, when I came here just now, I happened to meet Mr. Fu from the Ministry of Punishment who was going to Chengruiting. He wanted to let Wei I'm going to help you, Your Majesty, look..."

"Fu Guang has entered the palace, why didn't the empress tell you earlier?" Xiao Jun was obviously a little surprised, but more annoyed. The empress dared to summon the ministers to enter the palace privately without asking for an order in advance. What was she trying to do?
The queen hurriedly said: "Your majesty, when such a big incident happened, it is natural to find a reliable person to find out the truth. Even if the concubine does not summon him, the emperor must have summoned him, right? The concubine wants to report The emperor's, but I forgot when I spoke just now, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Where did she forget, she clearly did not give the emperor any chance to cheat.

The emperor said with a dark face and was extremely displeased: "Don't the empress know that the harem cannot summon the ministers privately? As an empress, you dare to overstep the rules, and you still take the emperor in your eyes!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the queen hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "Your majesty, the concubine just saw Sang Guirong's death so tragically, and wanted to uphold justice for her, so she didn't think so much. The concubine was confused and overstepped , and ask the emperor to forgive me!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said: "The empress made a mistake, and she cannot be forgiven lightly. From now on, the empress will be fined for half a year, and she will contemplate behind closed doors for three months. Do you have anything else to say?"

The queen's complexion changed slightly, she gritted her teeth secretly, and said with a bowed head: "Yes, my concubine is guilty and dare not complain."

Seeing that Gu Yunfeng was still waiting here, the emperor ordered: "Since Mr. Fu asked you to help him, then you can go, you don't need to wait here."

"Yes, I will retire." Gu Yunfeng bowed and stepped out of the hall, since he had already leaked the news to the emperor, he must have some measures, maybe this is the only thing he can help.

Seeing Qingchen kneeling on the ground again, Xiao Jun said to the little five beside her, "Give me a seat."

The queen's eyes jumped, and she asked, "Your Majesty..."

Before the queen could finish speaking, the emperor scolded with great dissatisfaction: "She is a noble imperial concubine, not a criminal! Even if there is a suspicion, she is still an imperial concubine before she is convicted!"

Even though she wasn't affectionate, the queen had never been reprimanded in front of so many people. The queen held her breath and shut her mouth in embarrassment.

But at this time, Qin Wanyi suddenly said in puzzlement: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine said that she had never been to Chengrui Pavilion, but when the concubine and the empress went up, they clearly saw three lines of footprints on the ground, and at a glance I know that they are all left by women. If the imperial concubine has never been there, then there should be two sets of footprints, why are there three people?"
