Chapter 9: Hui Guifei (9)
Standing behind Concubine Mei, as the emperor and queen sat down, they saluted and greeted him.
Before the greeting fell, the queen's angry voice came, "Be bold and benevolent, and don't kneel down to confess." ”
Dong Hui was excited, and hurriedly knelt down, bowing her head, "The concubine doesn't know what the crime is." ”
The queen said coldly: "I don't know what the crime is? Do you think you can hide from the world? Do you think you can do it seamlessly? Concubine Xin has already told the palace and His Majesty everything, and you still don't admit your guilt!"
Dong Hui looked ignorant, glanced at Concubine Xin, turned her head, and her clear eyes met the emperor's gloomy and bottomless eyes, "The concubine doesn't know what Concubine Xin said to His Majesty and the queen, the concubine is stupid, the concubine might as well tell the concubine directly, so that the concubine can understand." ”
The words were directed at the queen, but a pair of clear eyes were always aimed at the emperor, without dodging, retreating, or evading.
Like the bluest sky in July, clear and clean without a trace of impurities, the back is straight, kneeling there, like a fiery red rose in full bloom, outstanding style, not to be underestimated.
The queen sneered, "You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, so let you understand, Concubine Xin, you say it yourself!"
Concubine Xin bowed her knees to the emperor, got up and looked at Dong Hui, "Early this morning, you wore the palace dress of the queen's mother's bedroom, and in the name of the queen's mother's palace maid, you went to the cold palace to bring me meatball soup, others can't recognize you, and you are the one who treats you as the queen's mother only by your clothes, but you are my cousin, how can I not recognize you!"
"It's clear that you poisoned me in the meatball soup, but you want to bear the reputation of the queen's mother, you are like this, you are not deliberately framing the queen's mother, what is it!"
"Everyone knows that I was imprisoned in the cold palace by His Majesty, all because I mistakenly served a bowl of abortion medicine as a fetal medicine to Shu Guiren, and in those days, I got close to the queen mother, which inevitably makes people suspicious, it was the queen mother who instigated me to kill the emperor's heir. ”
"You bring me a bowl of poisonous soup at this time, still in the name of the queen mother, not to create a false impression that the queen mother is killing people and destroying her mouth, what is it! If I really die, the queen mother will not be able to argue, and this crime of instigating the palace concubine to kill the emperor's heir will be implemented. ”
"Hui Guiren, you have just entered the palace, it stands to reason that in this palace, I am your closest person, why did you poison me, and why did you blame the queen mother, who instructed you to do this!"
Concubine Xin said, and glanced at Concubine Mei who was standing on Dong Hui's side, as if there was nothing, and glanced at Dong Hui.
Of course Dong Hui knows what the meaning of this glance is!
Taking a deep breath, Dong Hui looked up at Concubine Xin, "Niangniang kept saying that I was going to send you meatball soup in the name of the queen's mother, I don't know if Niangniang has tangible evidence, or is it a mouthful?
"I live in Concubine Mei's dormitory now, if there is anything wrong with me, everything has nothing to do with Concubine Mei, until now, this matter has long been not my own business, since it is about Concubine Mei's innocence, I can't let Concubine Mei be criticized because of myself, this matter, what is it, I hope Your Majesty will find out!"
Bowing deeply to the emperor and getting up, Dong Hui looked straight at Concubine Xin with a pair of eyes, "If Niangniang has evidence witnesses to prove that it is the meatball soup I sent to Niangniang, or the poisonous meatball soup, please ask Niangniang to come up with evidence and ask witnesses, if not, please also ask Niangniang to apologize to Concubine Mei for her words and deeds." ”
Dong Hui's humble and arrogant counterattack surprised Fang Hui, and he looked at Dong Hui in astonishment, full of incredulity.
The queen glanced at Fang Haoxin unhappily, this little thing can't be done, and she actually told me that it was foolproof!
Catching the queen's displeased glance, Fang Haoxin immediately gathered his mind slightly distracted, "What kind of witness do you want, obviously you personally gave me the meatballs, I saw you with my own eyes, what evidence do you need!"
While saying, he looked at Dong Hui: If you don't cooperate, you won't want to see my brother for the rest of your life.
Dong Hui ignored Fang Mao's eyes, and only said: "As a nobleman, I am wearing the clothes of a palace maid and sneaking to the cold palace to bring you balls soup, since you have already discovered that the person is me, why don't you stop me? Why don't you expose me on the spot? Since my behavior is so treacherous, why do you still drink that balls soup?"
Concubine Xin was speechless for a while, speechless.
When she came to ask for the crime today, she was thinking that Dong Hui would definitely cooperate with her words, but she didn't expect that Dong Hui would go back on her word.
I gritted my teeth with hatred in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.
The emperor has been silent, the queen glanced at the emperor, and when the concubine had nothing to say, she said: "You are the cousin of the concubine, she can still wronged you!"
Dong Hui raised her eyebrows, "Why can't you?"
The queen looked angry, "You dare to contradict this palace!"
Dong Hui looked respectful, "The concubine just wants to strive for innocence and the instinct to survive, and I hope that the queen will be generous, don't be angry with the concubine." ”
Empress......
Dong Hui's words will kill the concubine.
If she didn't come forward, she would have been blaming Concubine Mei today, and if she didn't get it right, she would have to be cocooned and bound herself.
Clenched her fists, the queen turned her head to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is determined, it is the Hui Guiren who harmed her, but as the Hui Guiren said, and there is no tangible evidence, according to the concubine, it is better to use torture?"
The emperor turned his head and looked at the queen, his eyes were deep and sharp, which frightened the queen's head and trembled slightly, but in the end, he maintained the demeanor on his face and did not lose his proportion.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Dong Hui took the first step, "The concubine agrees to be tortured, but the concubine begs His Majesty and the queen to be fair and treat everyone equally. ”
Concubine Xin's face suddenly turned pale, she was so frightened that her feet were weak, and she staggered backwards, "Dong Hui, what nonsense are you talking about!"
In a hurry, he blurted out.
The queen immediately glanced at her warningly, and the concubine was about to open her mouth, but she froze for a moment, closed unwillingly, and looked at the queen with pleading eyes.
The queen no longer looked at her, but only looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xin, what is the concubine ......?"
Without waiting for the queen to speak, Concubine Mei opened her mouth, "If the mother thinks that the concubine is a concubine and can be exempted from punishment, then the concubine is willing to accept the punishment, since the concubine is implicated in this matter, in order to wash away the grievances, the concubine is willing to be punished, the premise is that the concubine is punished together!"
Concubine Mei suddenly spoke, and Concubine Xin's face became more and more pale after saying something.
The queen also didn't expect that Concubine Mei would rush to come to such a thing as torture.
She was 10,000 willing to torture Concubine Mei, and she dreamed of it, but Concubine Xin was only afraid that she was a soft bone, and she didn't wait a few times, so she recruited everything.
In this way, is it not playing with fire and self-immolation?
