Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 251

He Ruowan's mind exploded, and all her rationality was blown away with Ning'er's confession like accusations.

From their initial plan to assassinate the queen, to He Ruowan's step-by-step fall from favor, to starting a fake pregnancy, etc., Ning'er spoke out everything calmly.


Until the end, she also told them all the deeds of how they forced the maids to pick clothes to commit suicide, intending to blame the queen, etc., like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Then, Ning'er prostrated in front of the emperor with a bloodless face, begging the emperor to grant her death with a dull voice!
She said that because of the serious crimes she committed, even the dead Caiyi refused to let her go, and came into her dreams every night, making her life worse than death!

"No, Ning'er is crazy. Your majesty, don't believe what she said. She said she saw Caiyi the night before yesterday, and then she babbled wildly, otherwise she wouldn't have hurt the empress yesterday! Your majesty, my concubine." It is absolutely true that the child is gone, and the concubine is heartbroken over it, Your Majesty, the emperor must not believe Ning Er's crazy words, the concubine has been wronged!".


Seeing Xuanyuan Ze's cold and angry eyes shooting at her, He Ruowan collapsed on the ground without strength for a long time.

It wasn't until Ning'er brought up Caiyi's appearance again that she suddenly woke up.

She couldn't accept her fate, she had come to this day with great difficulty, she had put in so much effort and made so many sacrifices, how could she be easily killed by these bitches.

No, she must not admit it, and she will not admit it even if she dies!

"Ah, what are you doing?" Hua Heng stepped forward and grabbed her wrist suddenly, she screamed in fright, but because her body was being held down, He Ruowan couldn't dodge at all.

Hua Heng's handsome brows were slightly collected, and he quietly measured He Ruowan's pulse, then let go of his hands, hugged his hands and reported to Xuanyuan Ze: "Back to the emperor, according to my observation, the concubine Hua has indeed been hit by the 'beauty's sorrow'. Poisonous, if the empress insists that she is innocent, she only needs to stop taking the 'Chenyuanjin' to fully reflect whether the empress has created the appearance of a fake pregnancy!".


Her complexion turned pale suddenly, He Ruowan was completely silent now, she could not utter a single word of begging for mercy or denying it.

"Sure!" Looking coldly at the woman who seemed to have been drained of all her strength, Xuanyuan Ze's voice was piercingly cold, as hard as a sharp stone, stabbing heavily at He Ruowan's heart.


"Nighthawk!" Xuanyuan Ze raised his voice, and the imperial guards standing in the room immediately stepped forward to obey orders: "This subordinate is here!".

"My order is to arrest Concubine Hua's elder brother, He Xiuzhu, and take him to the clan's mansion for trial immediately. His family members are also immediately banned from He's mansion. No one is allowed to go out before the case is clear!".


Before turning around and sitting back at the imperial case, as soon as Xuanyuanze finished speaking, Chang Le hurriedly laid out the edict for him, and saw him pick up the imperial pen and quickly draw up the imperial edict, and then took the jade seal from Chang Le's hand and pressed it heavily, He Ruowan's eyes widened. Hei couldn't bear it anymore and passed out.


"Your subordinate obeys the decree!" After receiving the imperial decree, Nighthawk bowed down respectfully, then immediately withdrew and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Come here, take Concubine Hua to the cold palace. Without my consent, no one is allowed to have a private view of her! Once her brother is convicted of the crime, he will be interrogated and executed together!".


Without looking at the unconscious woman on the ground, Xuanyuan Ze waved his hand, and Chang Le saw Concubine Hua dragged out.

On the other hand, Liu Quan was trembling with fright. Seeing that the emperor and Concubine Hua had already been put in limbo, he couldn't help but lay down on the ground in fear, not daring to raise his head.


"Your Majesty, this servant is aware of the serious crimes, so I implore the emperor to grant this servant a death!" Ning'er kowtowed, her voice was mournful, and even though she heard the emperor's punishment of Concubine Hua, she still lost her vitality and only wanted to die. After all, I will never live in this world so tired again.


"Ning'er, you have done such an outrageous thing for the evil, I will never let you go! Now that you know your mistake, I will leave you as a dead body! Chang Le, take her down, give her a three-foot white dome, and you will be allowed to die after death!" Bring his family back for burial!" Looking at Ning'er who was almost half-breathed with great gravity, Xuanyuan Ze waved his hand and asked Chang Qi to take him away as well.


"Thank the emperor for his great kindness, and this servant is very grateful!" Ning'er did not expect that the emperor would not only agree to keep her whole body, but also let her go back to her hometown for burial. With a secret sigh, Chang Le quickly waved for the guards outside to come in and take Ning'er away.


"Your Majesty, Qiuyue made a big mistake by not reporting it knowingly, and please punish him!" Qiuyue saw that everyone was being taken down, and there was a silence in the room at this moment. After twisting it, he said tiredly, "Go down. Although you didn't report your past before you knew it, but if you can repent in time, you can correct your mistakes! I won't punish you, go!".


"Thank you for the emperor's grace, and this servant will leave!" Qiuyue's complexion brightened, she kowtowed happily and raised her head to see that the emperor was stretching out his hand to caress his brows tiredly.


"Hmph, how much I thought you loved Yun Qing! I thought how angry you would be after knowing that woman's treachery! It turns out that I misread you!" Looking at the tired-looking man, Xuanyuan Yi He snorted softly in disdain, then didn't bother to look here again, flicked his sleeves heavily, turned around and left.


"Your Majesty, for the sake of my ministers, I see that the center of the Emperor's brows is gloomy, and his complexion is pale. It should be due to lack of sleep and contracted wind-cold disease. The Emperor should take more rest and take two sets of medicines to remove the wind-cold, otherwise he may be in poor health!" Hua Heng looked at him. Xuanyuan Ze, with a tired face, stayed for a while after Xuanyuan Yi left, and then offered to propose.


What he said made Chang Le extremely worried. In fact, he had said that the emperor was too tired these days, but he just refused to listen to his advice to rest more, and he refused to call the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Hearing Hua Heng's words like this, he immediately asked nervously: "Then please ask Imperial Physician Hua to prescribe two prescriptions for the emperor, so that the slave can be decocted for the emperor.".
