Chapter 073: Outwitting the Truth (Asking for Subscription)
Regarding the assassination of Concubine Dong Guifei, most people in the palace thought that it was inseparable from Concubine Gina, so they talked about it in private, and rumors spread for a while, which made the entire harem panic.
"Won't you be tortured?" The judge asked the informant.
"No, always keep your mouth shut." The retributer answers.
"It seems that this person is planning to die rather than obey, don't push it too hard, just wait and see." The judge said to the informant. The person who entered the newspaper took the order and left.
The perpetrator who was imprisoned in prison didn't see Dong Guifei come to rescue him for a long time, so he knew that it was Dong Guifei who broke his word, and immediately regretted it.
"Now it seems that it is even harder for me to get out of here alive than it is to ascend to the sky." The perpetrator thought to himself, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
Concubine Gina got the joy of Jianyi and went to the prison to meet the perpetrator in person.
"If you tell the truth, I will do everything I can to keep you from dying and let you out." Guifei Gina said as she looked at the assailant who was dying of torture.
"Guifei Niangniang, I have nothing to say, so please don't bother with this, if you really want to prove your innocence, please help the villain to invite Dong Guifei to come for a trip."
"Yes." Guifei Gina agreed.
Concubine Gina walked up to the prison guard, lowered her voice and said, "If you see Concubine Dong come to meet him, write down their conversation for me." β
"Okay."
While slowly walking out of the prison, Guifei Gina was thinking about how to tell Concubine Dong about this. Now, although she has a seven-month-old belly. still went to Concubine Dong's bedroom every day to greet her and learn about the latter's condition.
Although Dong Guifei looked at her very angrily and was very displeased. But she persisted, she wanted everyone to know - she, Lazagina, didn't bother to hurt people in that way.
Unfortunately, no one wants to believe her until they have proof of her innocence, and people rush to hide when they see her on the road like a ghost.
After. The palace is really a place to talk about means and strategy. Too naΓ―ve, too soft-hearted, even if you are a concubine, you will still be bullied! She couldn't help but sigh.
"It doesn't matter. This is the price I have to pay to return to the palace, I must first endure what ordinary people can't endure before I can get what ordinary people can't, rest assured, I'm already mentally prepared. Come on with the test. Guifei Gina said secretly in her heart. Unconsciously raised his head.
No, this incident made almost everyone wary of Guifei Gina.
In this world, it is not that you can gain sincerity with good intentions, and Concubine Gina has since learned to hide her true feelings.
"The assailant asked me to tell my sister that he wanted to see you." Entering Concubine Dong's bedroom, Concubine Gina said straight to the point.
Knowing that the other party was the party who designed the whole incident, and knowing that the other party's purpose was to target herself, but Guifei Gina remained silent. If she puts this kind of love out, then she loses.
"Thank you, Guifei Gina. I'm not in good health right now, so I'll go back when I'm ready. β
"Okay, but he seems to be in a hurry, you try to get over as soon as possible." After saying that, Guifei Gina walked out.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the Zichen Palace, Shen Xizhen and Chu Zihou sat respectfully opposite Emperor Guangzhao.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers have already figured out the mastermind behind the scenes, and now they only need to interrogate the perpetrators, and the courtiers will restore the beginning and end of the incident with him, and guide him to tell the truth of the matter step by step." Shen Xizhen said.
"Please allow your son to interrogate the perpetrator." Chu Zihou said immediately.
"I will interrogate him with you." Emperor Guangzhao said that he immediately ordered the relevant personnel to prepare.
After a while, the person sent from the prison reported in a panic: "The assailant has committed suicide by hitting the wall." β
Emperor Guangzhao, Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen were all taken aback.
It turned out that the perpetrator originally wanted to call Dong Guifei to the prison to discuss a way to survive, but later saw that Dong Guifei did not come, and he didn't know if Guifei Gina had conveyed his words to Dong Guifei.
Concubine Dong Guifei was relieved when she learned the news.
And when Guifei Gina learned about it, she could only sigh.
As a result, there is no longer any evidence to prove the innocence of Guifei Gina.
What should I do now?
"Guang'an Hou, do you have any plans?" Emperor Guangzhao looked at Shen Xizhen and asked.
Now it has been determined that Dong Guifei did this matter, but the only witness is gone, and there are only two possibilities left: first, or let the matter be settled like this, regardless of what others think. Second, try your best to find an opportunity to confirm the innocence of Guifei Gina.
Obviously, for everyone who believes in Guifei Gina, they are willing to choose the second option, but they don't know what to do.
"Then now we can only start from Dong Guifei." Shen Xizhen said.
"How?" Emperor Guangzhao asked again.
"Let her confess herself."
"I'm afraid it's not easy." Emperor Guangzhao was helpless. After all, who wants to confess their mistakes?
"If the emperor believes in the courtiers, this matter will be handed over to the courtiers." Shen Xizhen said.
"That's great!" Emperor Guangzhao nodded in agreement. Chu Zihou also nodded.
"Please wait for the answer, in a few days." Shen Xizhen said in a calm tone.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
"Guifei Niangniang, Guang'an is waiting to see you." The palace maid came in to report, and Dong Guifei's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Call her in." Dong Guifei said busily.
"The folk girl has seen the concubine Niangniang, are your injuries better?" Shen Xizhen asked with a smile on his face.
"It's much better, Guang'an Hou really has a heart!" Dong Guifei replied while inviting her to sit down.
"But the concubine seems to have lost a lot of weight recently, and there is fear in her eyes, I am afraid that she is contaminated with some evil spirits.
Do you need a folk girl to resolve it for you? β
Concubine Dong's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.
"What the hell does she mean by coming this time?" Dong Guifei thought secretly in her heart. But she knew that Xi Zhen knew how to use mystics to dispel disasters, and thinking about the things she had done recently, in order to prevent disasters, she might as well ask her to help resolve them.
So she said: "Then there is Lao Guang'an." β
"It's okay, it's just a gesture." Shen Xizhen immediately asked her to sit directly opposite her, and began to recite the spiritual chapter and practice occult arts.
Dong Guifei looked at Shen Xizhen, who was exercising, and felt more and more that she was transmitting a breath of gas to herself, and her heart became even more worried.
After a while, Shen Xizhen smiled and said, "The folk girl will tell you what she has calculated, and then help you eliminate the disaster after she finishes speaking." β
After that, Shen Xizhen told Dong Guifei's recent encounters one by one in a metaphorical way, and Dong Guifei trembled all over her body when she heard it.
"Guifei Niangniang, is the folk girl right? Is this a source of your fear? Shen Xizhen asked as he looked at her calmly.
Dong Guifei hurriedly covered up and said: "Guang'an Hou's words today surprised me very much, I don't know what the basis of your calculations is?" β
"According to the facts, the fact that the concubine Niangniang has saved the zΓ i cannot be erased no matter what."
Dong Guifei's face changed instantly.
"If a person is virtuous, the unjust creditor will come, if the mother wants to eliminate the fear in the heart, then you can go to the temple to offer incense, and tell the Bodhisattva about the fear in your heart, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you, maybe you can help." Shen Xizhen said again, looking at her with a smile in a pair of bright eyes, without the slightest malice.
Concubine Dong nodded.
Shen Xizhen then helped her perform the evil dissipation method.
"Thank you Guang'anhou, I feel much better."
"It's fine. The woman retired first. Xi Zhen said and smiled and withdrew.
Back in the Zichen Palace, Shen Xizhen said to Emperor Guangzhao: "The courtiers have calculated that Concubine Dong Guifei will go to Yuntai Mountain to burn incense and pray the morning after tomorrow. β
"Okay."
On that day, Concubine Dong Guifei really left the palace in a sedan chair early in the morning and went straight to Yuntai Mountain.
Emperor Guangzhao, King Qingping and Shen Xizhen dressed up as ordinary people and followed.
In front of the Guanyin statue, Dong Guifei called the other palace maids away and began to tell the Guanyin statue what she had done before.
These words she said were heard clearly by the three people hiding behind the statue of Guanyin.
The three of them immediately rushed out from behind the statue of Guanyin.
"You are so bold that you actually designed to frame Guifei Gina, I will never spare you!" Emperor Guangzhao said angrily.
Concubine Dong didn't know that there were people hidden inside, but now when she suddenly saw them appear, she was suddenly frightened and her face was like ashes, and she knelt down and begged for mercy.
No matter how she pleaded, Emperor Guangzhao always had a cold face.
"Someone, escort Dong Guifei and send her to prison."
Immediately, several people rushed in from all around the temple, and tied up Dong Guifei in three or two clicks.
At this point, the truth has finally come out.
Guifei Gina cleared her name.
After. No one in the palace dared to disrespect her anymore.
In addition to being happy, everyone naturally did not forget the credit of Shen Xizhen, and they all said: "Her move is really for the dark queen. The palace sent a touch of fresh breeze! β
Concubine Gina was even more grateful and admired her, and she was also deeply relieved that Chu Zihou could find such a woman.
Ten days later, Emperor Guangzhao decreed that Concubine Dong Guifei be demoted to a laundry worker in the laundry room, and no one was allowed to visit her without Emperor Guangzhao's permission.
"Father, I still have regrets after this incident, please give a lighter sentence." Chu Ziyao knelt in front of Emperor Guangzhao, pleading with snot and tears.
"Don't ask for any more. I didn't sentence her because she was still a little awake. In the future, she can mention the rank again if she looks good, but she will definitely not be allowed to ascend to the position of concubine, she is not worthy! Emperor Guangzhao said. (To be continued......)
