Empress Fenghua

Chapter 131 The culprit
Yin Jieyu panicked and knelt on the ground, "My concubine sees the emperor!"

"Say, did you give this sachet to Concubine Odan?" Ye Congjia's voice was so harsh that Yin Jiangzi was really startled.

Yin Jieyu couldn't help but stare blankly, seeing the pale face of Wodan in Xiliang, she knew something had happened.Weeping quickly, he said, "It was the concubine who gave it to Concubine Odan, but this sachet is not from the concubine, the concubine is wronged!"

Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "You complained about being wronged before you knew what happened, you must have a ghost in your heart! Why don't you tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Yin Jieyu glanced at Hua Zhong who was at the side, Hua Zhong looked at Yin Jieyu indifferently, calm and calm, and had no intention of panicking.Yin Jieyu pointed at Si Xueyi who was beside Hua Zhong, "It's her! It was Xue Shuhua who gave it to me! It was she who joined forces with County Lord Gaoyi to murder Noble Concubine Odan!"

Si Xueyi was taken aback, his gentle appearance made people feel pity.Si Xueyi looked at Yin Jieyu with rain, "Yin Jieyu, although I have offended you before, but you can't spout blood? I know the emperor dotes on me, and you are angry. You think you are more beautiful than me, than my family background Good. But, but how can love be determined by beauty and family background? The emperor fell in love with me at first sight, no one can control the fate! Yin Jieyu, please don't wrong me!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, this Si Xueyi is really a talent, not only got rid of Yin Jieyu's accusation, but also made it clear that he and Ye Congjia fell in love at first sight.It's a good way to make people have to admit that she showed her true feelings for Ye Congjia!
Yin Jieyu looked at Si Xueyi and Hua Zhong angrily, "It's clearly the sachet you gave me, and asked me to give it to Concubine Odan. You said that you and the queen are good sisters, and you are thinking of the queen. That's what happened. Are you a shrinking turtle?"

Hua Zhong sneered, "Yin Jieyu, even if you want to not frame the county lord, you have to think of reasons to believe it! I am the county lord, not a concubine, so there is no need to compete with you. Although the county lord is a good sister, but the empress is kind and virtuous by nature, how could she allow this county lord to do things that are harmful to nature? What's more, the marriage contract between the county lord and the Prince of Xiliang was established by the first emperor, and noble concubine Odan can be regarded as the county lord Sister-in-law, how could this county master ruin the friendship between the two countries for his own selfishness?"

Yin Jieyu hurriedly walked up to her knees and grabbed Gu Shuangcheng's sleeves, crying, "Cousin, cousin, you have to save Jiangzi! It was you who said that if Concubine Odan gave birth to a prince, she would threaten you. Jiangzi did it for Only your empress and the Gu family will do this. You have to save Jiang Zi!"

Gu Shuangcheng held back his anger, and only now did he know whose hands he had fallen into. Gu Shuangcheng slapped Yin Jieyu resoundingly in the face, "Shut up!"

Yin Jieyu covered her cheeks and looked at Gu Shuangcheng dumbfounded, "Cousin..."

Gu Shuangcheng snorted coldly, "How dare you say that you did such a disgraceful thing for the sake of me and the Gu family? I really misunderstood you! How can I ask you to intercede for you when you have caused such a catastrophe?"

Gu Shuangcheng looked back at Ye Congjia, "Your Majesty, Jiang Zi was infatuated for a while, hurt the noble concubine Odan, harmed the emperor's heir, and asked the emperor to commit crimes! The concubine's negligence in discipline caused the tragedy to happen. It is the concubine's fault, please the emperor For the sake of my father's sharing of worries for the emperor for many years, don't harm the Zhenguo government! The concubines are willing to suffer any punishment!"

Hua Zhong lowered his head and fiddled with his sleeves, Gu Shuangcheng, Gu Shuangcheng, I never thought that you and I would stand on opposite sides today, and it was not my wish to take this road.You and I are masters, please don't blame me!
Ye Congjia was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, and lifted Gu Shuangcheng who was kneeling on the ground, "The empress has long been unable to take care of herself, so how can she have time to discipline her concubines? Yin Jieyu is an adult and has her own thoughts, so how can you do that?" Controlled? The queen doesn't have to blame herself!"

Gu Shuangcheng felt like sitting on pins and needles, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "Jieyu Yin's mind was vicious, and she murdered the noble concubine Odan, so that I lost my first heir, the crime should be punished! But..." Ye Congjia glanced at Gu Shuangcheng's pale face, and there was a gleam in his eyes. Contemptuously, "The affairs of the harem have always been decided by the empress, what does the empress think should be done?"

Yin Jieyu cried, "Cousin!"

Gu Shuangcheng couldn't bear it, and said angrily, "Jieyu Yin's family lost their morals in the palace and murdered the emperor's heir. I think she is diligent in serving her on weekdays. Today, she will be removed from her title and position, and demoted to Daoist court to do hard work. It is not an amnesty for the world, and she will never be able to do it again." out!"

Yin Jieyu cried and was dragged out, Hua Zhong closed her eyes impatiently, Gu Shuangcheng was considered kind and spared her life.It's just that this matter may not be so easy!
Xiliang snorted silently, "Does the queen think that it's okay to demote a little Jieyu?"

"Then what do you think according to what the prince of Xiliang wants?" Gu Shuangcheng was trembling with anger, "Could it be that the prince of Xiliang must give up the queen's position to Concubine Odan before he is willing?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of Xiliang Wuyan Feng, "It may not be impossible!"

"Presumptuous!" Gu Shuangcheng's voice was stern, without grace. "I am the Empress of Cheng Kingdom, you are just a crown prince, how can I let you humiliate me?"

Xiliang Wuyan smiled disdainfully, "Although I, Xiliang Wuyan, is the prince, there is nothing in this world that I can't afford!"

Ye Congjia suppressed her anger and said, "The queen has no way to manage the six palaces. After Concubine Odan recovers, I will give the right to assist the six palaces. The queen can rest in Yongning Palace and think about it!"

"My concubine thanks the emperor!" Xiliang Wodan Xuanxuan wanted to cry.

The corner of Xiliang Wuyan's mouth was smiling, but it was cold, "Emperor Cong Jia, even today, this crown prince is unwilling to stay in Wan'an City any longer. This crown prince wants to marry the Lord of Gaoyi County and return to Ling Kingdom. I don't know what Emperor Cong Jia intends. how?"

Ye Congjia smiled reluctantly, "Naturally! However, Concubine Odan is not yet fully recovered and needs to be accompanied by relatives. How about Prince Xiliang staying for another seven days so that I can prepare a dowry for the Lord Gaoyi? What do you think? "

Xiliang sneered silently, "Just like Emperor Cong Jia said!"

At the gate of Cold Spring Palace, send Ye Congjia away.Gu Shuangcheng slowly turned around to look at Hua Zhong, and sneered, "Chong'er, I really never thought that one day you would stand on the opposite side of me."

Hua Zhong smiled, "Sister Shuangcheng, from the moment you decided to help Ye Congjia ascend the throne, we were destined not to be on the same road. Don't think I don't know why King Changji turned his back? Now Huayan is still in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha of Xinning Palace, how can you stand outside and do evil?"

Gu Shuangcheng snorted coldly, "I'm no different from the latter, but it's a pity that your sister forced me to this point. I don't hate you, and I don't want to be your enemy. You made me difficult!"

Hua Zhong shook his head, "No one makes things difficult for you, it's just that you and I have different paths after all. You want to keep your position, but I just want to make Ye Congjia's life worse than death. Although you didn't mean to choose him, you still choose him after all. You and I are masters, I don’t blame you! From now on, I’m afraid we’ll have to rely on our own abilities!”

Gu Shuangcheng's face was pale, and he couldn't help sneering, "Anyway, you and I have been worrying for the rest of our lives! What is this kind of grievance? Let's ride a donkey to read the libretto, and we'll see, the outcome is uncertain!" Gu Shuangcheng left with a sneer, leaving The next winding skirt flashed past Hua Zhong's eyes.

Pei Tan worriedly followed Hua Zhong, "Master, the queen is a queen after all, you and the queen used to be like sisters, and even the servants have heard about your clever words for the queen at the princess' mansion. Why do you now Do you want to be like a stranger?"

Hua Zhong smiled sadly, "I didn't want to do this at first, but you can see that Gu Shuangcheng is no longer the same as before. I never blamed her for how she treated Ning Huayan before. But... "

Hua Zhong remembered how she forced Duan Huixian and searched Duan Huixian that day, and she could no longer stand by and watch!Duan Huixian has now arrived at Yongjia's place, and the silent letter from Xiliang clearly stated how Duan Huixian hid the wrench finger, how could Hua Zhong not be blamed?
Hua Chong sighed, "The world of mortals is three thousand feet long, and the thoughts are in the mountains and rivers. When the obsession rises and falls, it is the vicissitudes of life. The impermanence of the world has been interpreted into bitterness and joy, and who is not trekking long distances in this emptiness? "

Hui'e walked beside Gu Shuangcheng, frowning, "Empress, don't you find it strange?"

Gu Shuangcheng's expression froze, "I know what you mean. Jiang Zi is reckless and ignorant, but she is the easiest to be manipulated by others. How can she have such ingenious thoughts, knowing how to use such a method as a sachet! If she did it, I'm afraid she would have closed the palace already." We all know."

"The sachet was obviously given to Yin Jieyu by the county lord and that Xue Shuhua. Your Majesty is such a shrewd person, why would you blame the queen on you and Yin Jieyu?" Hui'e asked puzzled.

Gu Shuangcheng sighed, "Even if Jiangzi is being used by others, she is the culprit, and the ending is not much better. That Xue Shuhua's eloquence is really taught by Chong'er. The prince of Xiliang is still here, how can the emperor blame him?" What about the two of them? What's more, there is no conclusive evidence. I can only let Jiang Zi take the blame!"

Hui'e couldn't help regretting, "It's just a pity that Miss Jiangzi has wasted a great future. Madam, you are weak this time, what can you do?" Hui'e was silent for a while, and then said, "I really don't understand, Gao Yi Why did the county magistrate do such a murderous thing to Concubine Odan, isn't he afraid that the Prince of Xiliang will be angry?"

Gu Shuangcheng's footsteps froze, and he froze in place.What Hui'e said was right, if Hua Chong was really responsible for this matter, the Xiliang Crown Prince would definitely blame Hua Chong, after all the offspring of Odanhuai in Xiliang are very important to the Ling Kingdom.But the prince of Xiliang pointed the finger at the emperor and himself. Could it be that Hua Zhong did not do this at all, or did Xiliang Wuyan know the truth long ago?Gu Shuangcheng couldn't help falling into a puzzle...

Hua pushed the door open and walked into the study, Xiliang Wuyan was dressed in bamboo green clothes in a chic and open manner.Seeing Hua come back in Xiliang Wuyan, he was full of smiles, "After seven days, you and I will go to Lingguo together, let's bid farewell here!"

Hua Zhong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You don't blame me for spoiling your good deed? The child that Wodan is pregnant with in Xiliang is very important to you!"

At the same time, with the blood of the Ye family and the Xiliang family, if he ascended to the throne, wouldn't the country of Chengguo be surrendered?

Xiliang Wuyan smiled softly, his phoenix eyes were full of cunning, "This matter has nothing to do with you! Ye Congjia is really ruthless, tiger venom doesn't even eat children, but he never thought that he could personally bury his first offspring! "

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, "He must have struggled for a long time before taking action, otherwise he would not have waited until now. Maybe he is still heartbroken at this moment, but it is a pity that he will never know that this child is not his!"

Gu Shuangcheng leaned on the phoenix chair with a tired look, and suddenly opened his eyes with disbelief.Looking tremblingly at the exquisite pastries on the table beside him, his eyes shifted, "It's the emperor..."

Gu Shuangcheng couldn't help feeling a deep fear of Ye Congjia...
