Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 250

"I beg you to let this servant in, this servant has something important to see the emperor!" Just as Xuanyuanze was interrogating He Ruowan inside, a woman's loud pleading came from outside, as well as the voice of guards urging her to step down.

Xuanyuan Ze raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Chang Le, go out and see what happened!".


"Yes!" Chang Le bowed lightly, and quickly exited the room.

But He Ruowan was startled when she heard the sound, and the crying voice disappeared immediately, and turned into listening to the voice of the woman outside with panicked ears.


Her small expression did not escape Xuanyuan Ze's eyes, he withdrew his eyes in disgust, and waited quietly for Chang Le to bring in the court lady who came to see him.


From time to time, I saw Chang Le bringing in a court lady in coarse clothes. When the woman came in and saw He Ruowan present, she seemed startled at first, and then she quickly left after Chang Le shielded her body. Going in front of Xuanyuanze, she knelt down with a plop: "My maidservant, Jinfeng Palace maidservant, Qiuyue, sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!".


"Exemption!" Flicking his sleeves lightly, Xuanyuanze looked at Qiuyue coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you have to see me?".

"Back to the emperor, the slave is guilty! Please punish the slave!" Qiuyue pressed her palms to the ground, and knocked her head completely on the ground, knocking loudly. She didn't answer, but pleaded desperately to the emperor.


"What's the matter, let's hear it!" With a sullen expression, Xuanyuan Ze looked at the court lady who kept kowtowing, and guessed that she must have something to do with Concubine Hua's matter.

If not, Concubine Hua wouldn't have become so nervous when she heard her voice just now.


Qiuyue's body shook slightly, and when she heard the emperor's bad tone, she quickly kowtowed her head again, and then spoke out the conversation she had heard with Concubine Hua and her brother that night in the back garden outside the Inner Court Palace.


Then she kowtowed her head resolutely, yelling at her servants to be damned because of her cowardly behavior that she had never dared to speak out about this matter all this time, causing Xuanyuanze's fists to be clenched tightly, and she glared at He Ruowan angrily, Shen Sheng said: "Concubine Hua, what else do you have to say?".


"Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged! She is spitting blood, and this concubine has never seen my elder brother since entering the palace. She is fabricating charges against this concubine out of thin air!" He Ruowan looked at Qiuyue who dared to betray herself, He didn't dare to say that Qiuyue was used by him, so he could only deny it outright, and refused to admit that it was her doing:
"Your Majesty, Qiuyue is a maid in the empress's palace. Ning'er even hurt the empress to protect the lord. Now that she sees the empress being harmed, she naturally wants to vent her grievances on the concubine! The concubine is really wronged, please be careful. what!".


"My Majesty, please believe in this servant girl. The servant girl has been living in the Golden Phoenix Palace as an ordinary servant girl. Although the servant girl has seen the queen's kindness, she has never had close contact with the queen. Therefore, when she saw the queen being raped by others I didn't dare to speak out the truth. If it wasn't for seeing the empress lose the little prince because of this yesterday, the servant girl would have felt that she was so cowardly and fearful, and she would have been blaming herself for it. If the servant girl had told the truth earlier , that empress doesn’t have to be hurt like this.” Qiuyue blushed anxiously, arguing eagerly for herself, seeing that He Ruowan really wanted to step forward and slap her hard to make her shut up.


"Your majesty, don't believe her. The concubine is innocent. How could she do such an outrageous thing? If you don't believe the emperor, you can ask Liu Quan. The concubine has never had a wrong heart from the beginning to the end. She only wants to protect the concubine. With the emperor's child, I just want to give birth to him safely..." Up until now, He Ruowan still refused to give up.

She thought that as long as she killed herself and refused to admit it, the emperor would not be able to convict her without any evidence.


"Exactly, the lower official can be the evidence for the empress. When the lower official took over the position of the empress, the empress was already pregnant with a dragon fetus. The lower official took the pulse. It was absolutely true! Even the empress dowager once asked Fu Taiyi Get the pulse for your empress, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send Fu Ming Fu imperial physician to come and ask!" Liu Quan hurriedly agreed, although he knew the purpose of Concubine Hua's speaking at this time, but cleverly did not mention Concubine Hua's pregnancy , in the end is not true.


Because at the time of the original design, he was worried that there would be other imperial physicians besides himself to take the pulse of Concubine Hua, but his dose of medicine was extremely heavy. If he just checked the pulse, he would not be able to detect anything abnormal.


Therefore, at the beginning, he was the one who asked Concubine Hua to deliberately ask the Queen Mother to test him again, just in case; now, he can use an excuse to stop him, at least to prove that he is also an imperial doctor who was deceived by Concubine Hua.


"Someone can prove that Concubine Hua's fetus is fake!" As soon as Liu Quan finished speaking, a clear voice came from outside the room, causing Xuanyuan Ze to raise his eyebrows, and then looked at Jun who was striding in. Yat man.


I saw Xuanyuan Yi dressed in white clothes to win the snow, and that unsullied handsome face was raising an indifferent smile at this time, and cast it on Concubine Hua coldly, and said disdainfully: "Ning'er, what is your master's favor?" Everything you do, tell the emperor well!".


"Ning'er..." He Ruowan's body softened, and she could not hold on to the ground without being pressed down. When she saw the hatred on Ning'er's face, her complexion turned pale like a ghost.


"Slave Ning'er, plead guilty to the emperor! Ning'er knows that she has committed a serious crime and cannot escape death, but Ning'er is willing to expose the true face of Concubine Hua before she dies." With the support of a young eunuch, Ning'er entered the There was a thud in the imperial study room, and he knelt heavily in front of Xuanyuanze's imperial case, his face full of sadness.


"Ning'er, why am I sorry for you, you want to harm me like this?" After hearing Ning'er's words, He Ruowan felt a dark cloud above her head, making her eyes blurred.


She raised her voice sharply, warning Ning'er not to talk too much, but Ning'er didn't care about her words at all, she just turned her head to look at her with a dead face, and said in a cold voice, "Miss, God's evil is forgivable, You can't live without doing your own crimes!".
