Chapter 187: I Just Need Your Word
"The concubine has never asked for the slightest pity from the emperor, but this dirty water can't be poured on the concubine!" Concubine Jin's tears fell on the back of the emperor's hand, she closed her eyes, and didn't want to look at him: "The concubine also said before, if you find Hanyu in this palace, no matter what you do, the concubine will admit it, but where is the shadow of Hanyu here?"
She was so sad that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Hanyu was taken away by your niece after all. The emperor never ate this, he glanced at Concubine Jin indifferently: "But now she is fine, but Hanyu is nowhere to be found." ”
Ran broke away from the person who trapped him and protected Yun'er. The emperor's words seem to have the meaning of letting Yun'er bury Hanyu. Her hand around Wan'er trembled slightly, and she faintly began to worry, not knowing what Concubine Jin would do next.
"It's a matter between children, where can the concubine be influenced?" Concubine Jin completely pushed the matter to Wan'er, she only hopes that Hanyu will lose her life now, this is a fatal blow to Concubine Yu, as for Wan'er...... It only depends on her creation, if the emperor takes pity on this child for being young, there may still be a glimmer of life.
The emperor didn't answer, he just wanted to put Concubine Jin in prison and use up the criminal law for interrogation. It was a suspicious thing for Yun'er to run out alone, not to mention that she also took Hanyu into the cold palace.
He didn't believe that things were so coincidental, and decided that the matter had something to do with Concubine Jin.
"The emperor resents the concubine, and the concubine understands, just please let my niece go. After all, she is not sensible, and it was an unintentional mistake to lose the princess. Concubine Jin deliberately interceded for Yun'er, as if she didn't care about her situation at all.
"Come on, take Concubine Jin away. As soon as the emperor's words fell, Li Ji suddenly walked in and said: "There seems to be a child's cry in the rockery behind Concubine Jin's courtyard, and the old slave has already sent someone to see it, just waiting for you to go over." ”
Concubine Jin's heart sank, how could there be a child's crying? Hanyu was obviously not here, she thought about it and thought about it, there was only one possibility, that is, the emperor and Li Ji deliberately played a trick and wanted to force herself to tell the truth.
But they probably never thought that she really didn't know Hanyu's whereabouts.
The emperor couldn't take care of her at this time, so he walked in the direction of the rockery with Concubine Yu, and Concubine Jin also followed, but no one stopped her.
"Niangniang, it's the princess, the princess is there!" the little palace maid shouted, Concubine Yu quickened her pace and walked over, Hanyu sat in the stone pile, her hands and feet were tied, her mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and she let out a low whimper.
A strange feeling surged in Concubine Yu's heart, the joy and fear of being lost...... All the emotions were intertwined, and her eyes were wet unconsciously.
The little palace maid had already removed the strip of cloth from Hanyu's mouth and was carefully untying the rope on her body. Hanyu looked dazed, until Concubine Yu walked in front of her, she finally opened her mouth and cried.
"Mother ......" she said something in her mouth, Concubine Yu couldn't hear it clearly, she just held her in her arms. The emperor watched from afar, but did not come forward to disturb.
"It can't be, it's impossible. Concubine Jin read this sentence in her mouth, and she pushed aside the person in front of her like crazy, but the moment she saw Concubine Yu and Hanyu, her breath was suffocated.
How could Hanyu be here? A huge wave of fear came over him, mixed with panic, making Concubine Jin tremble slightly.
"Your Majesty, someone must have framed the concubine and deliberately tied Hanyu here. She was already confused, and her words were a little upside down: "The concubine hasn't touched Hanyu at all, didn't Yun'er also say it? Hanyu has been in the cold palace." ”
"Hanyu was taken away by your niece, but now you say that someone wants to frame you? Could it be that you want to believe that it was your little niece of four or five years old who deliberately brought Hanyu to your palace and wanted to harm you?" Concubine Jin was struck by lightning, her face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't stand steadily, and after taking a few steps back, she still almost fell.
Yun'er is too young to have such a mind, but ......
"Your Majesty, Yun'er really won't harm her concubines, but what if someone deliberately teaches her? Once she is used to do these things, won't the concubines be unable to clear their grievances?" Concubine Jin said and looked in the direction of the Ran family, she was also staring at Concubine Jin, with an unknown light in her eyes.
"She is your niece, who can teach her deliberately?" The emperor asked, Concubine Jin turned her back to him and walked towards the Ran family: "Your Majesty, you have to ask the concubine's sister-in-law, Wan'er is her own daughter, if you don't listen to her, who else can you listen to?"
Ran was stunned, and just wanted to refute, Concubine Jin pinched her hand fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Now only I can save Yun'er, if you want her to be safe and sound, follow my words." ”
Wan'er has been involved, and Ran knows that she can't protect her. Concubine Jin is a person in the palace in the end, the Ran family had no choice, so she had to pin her hopes on her, she gritted her teeth and knelt down: "Your Majesty, our sister-in-law has always been at odds, I asked Yun'er to trick the princess out, and tied her up in the courtyard of my little sister." It's me who is foolish and willing to be punished. This matter has nothing to do with Yun'er, please, please don't blame her. ”
She used all her life to say these words, but she still trembled with fear. The emperor looked at her a few times, the emotion in his eyes was a little weird, and finally he sighed: "Anyway, the child also calls her aunt, what good is it for you to do this?"
"Since you have confessed your guilt, I will naturally punish you, as for your daughter......" The emperor deliberately paused for a moment, and then said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." She helped you do evil, and almost caused the princess to lose her life, according to my opinion, let her go to the cold palace with you to do things, and also teach her some lessons. ”
The Ran clan suddenly went limp, what kind of place is the cold palace? How many living people went in, but when they came out, they didn't even have a complete corpse. Ruo Wan'er has lived in such a place since she was a child, and her life will be ruined. Ran raised his head, and the emperor's expression was firm, as if there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
The unwarranted fear spread, and Ran crawled in front of Concubine Jin and pleaded: "Little sister, I beg you, Yun'er is your niece, you can save her." It's not a pity for me to die, but she's still so young!"
Concubine Jin looked at the emperor's face carefully, and she said while pulling Ran's family: "Sister-in-law, you get up first, this matter, let's talk about this later." She wanted to stabilize the Ran family, but she didn't dare to say the words of promise in front of the emperor.
Ran refused to get up, although she was a little weak, but Wan'er was her daughter, and she couldn't watch her daughter suffer. She grabbed Concubine Jin's hand and said, "Little sister, I just need your words, can you save Yun'er?"
