Chapter 112

Concubine Xia is the concubine of Emperor Yongzhen, named Lin Qixia, the eldest daughter of Lin Shangshu in the court, entered the palace for ten years, step by step from the lowest division to today's position, her rise and the rise of the Lin family are inseparable, now living in the Showa Palace, four months pregnant, due to physical discomfort, in the palace to recuperate.

As soon as he entered the Showa Palace, he saw a room full of people, Emperor Yongzhen's face was angry, and Empress Wan lowered her head, unable to see what the emotion was, only He Guifei saw Rong Jin, Shui Clan, and Yunwei come in, and immediately stood up.

There are constantly palace maids carrying basins and water in and out of the inner hall, and at this moment, the palace maid in charge of the Showa Hall knelt in front of Emperor Yongzhen and cried bitterly, "Concubine Xia...... The dragon fetus was not saved, and Concubine Xia fainted! ”

At this moment, several imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed, "The ministers are incompetent, I hope the emperor will forgive the sins!" ”

"Lord Yuyan, you can punish the crime!"

Empress Wan snorted with a gloomy face, and Emperor Yongzhen looked at Rong Jin and the three of them with a very complicated look.

The Shui clan hurriedly pulled Yun Wei and Rong Jin to kneel on the ground, and said in horror, "I don't know what the queen mother meant?" What crime did the county lord commit? ”

"What crime?"

Queen Wan smiled coldly, "Colluded with the abolished concubine Cao clan to murder the dragon fetus in Concubine Xia's womb, Rong Jin, can you confess?" ”

"No, the county lord has never done such a thing, the queen mother, the county lord has grown up in Pingshun since he was a child, and he has never even seen the face of Concubine Xia, let alone any grievances, how could he harm the dragon species in Concubine Xia's belly for no reason? There is no evidence, the emperor and the queen mother, please investigate this matter in detail, this matter must not be done by Jin'er, it must not be! ”

Shui hurriedly kowtowed.

Queen Wan pointed to the Cao family, who was kneeling on the ground, his face was like ashes, and said, "There is a confession from the abolished concubine Cao, and there is evidence, the Cao family will repeat what you just said!" ”

"Yes," Cao's hair was disheveled, there was only a white hairpin on her head, and there was no beading in addition, a cyan blouse, her face was sallow, and she looked like she had fallen out of favor for a long time, she kowtowed three times in succession, and said with great regret, "The concubine made a big mistake because of jealousy, lived in the Chuqing Palace, repented of her mistakes every day, and did not dare to hope that one day she could come out, chanting every day, only hoping that the emperor and the queen would be well, just six or seven days ago, the fifth child next to the fourth princess quietly went to the cold palace, As soon as she saw me, she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, I asked her what happened, she said that she went out of the palace to buy gadgets for the fourth princess, and was intercepted by a person who claimed to be Rong Jin, and gave her a bag of things, saying that she wanted her to find a way to put it in Concubine Xia's diet. If she doesn't do it, the fourth princess will lose her life.

At that time, Wu'er didn't dare to speak, but on the second day of returning to the palace, the fourth princess was sick and had a headache...... At that time, she was also hesitant, so she asked Wu'er to quietly go out of the palace to see Rong Jin again, she brought back a pill on the same day, and the fourth princess didn't have a headache after eating it, but the next day, it hurt again.

I know that someone is threatening me with the life of the fourth princess, and I ...... I only have such a child as the fourth princess, so I had to put something in Concubine Xia's diet, and I was also frightened at that time, but after getting down, I found that Concubine Xia was not a little unusual, so I didn't dare to mention it again, and after the fourth princess took the antidote, the headache was completely cured.

I thought that all this was over, but who knew that just today, a figure quietly came to the cold palace, handed this over to me, and asked me to drug Concubine Xia again...... This person is the county lord of Yuyan. Cao Shi said and raised his hand and pointed at Rong Jin, "It's her, she also asked the two eunuchs around me to pretend to assassinate her in the Imperial Garden, in order to find an excuse for herself to disappear in the inner palace for a period of time for no reason, in fact, she came to the cold palace to see me." ”

Rong Jin's appearance is very different from others, from the inside to the outside exudes a noble atmosphere, the Cao family recognized who Rong Jin was at a glance when the three of them first entered the hall.

"You have all heard Cao's words, the human and material evidence is there, come on, what else do you have to say about the county lord of Yuyan?"

Empress Wan snorted majestically.

The Shui clan trembled in shock, and was about to speak, Rong Jin stood up unhurriedly and walked in front of the Cao clan, "You said that I asked the two eunuchs around you to assassinate me, and then staged a bitter ploy?" ”

"That's right!"

Cao Shi gritted his teeth and confirmed, "At that time, I didn't want to listen to you, but you said that if I didn't obey, I would attack the fourth princess, I only have one child in my life, even if I die, I can't let the fourth princess have anything to do." ”

"I remember there were three assassins!"

Rong Jin sneered.

"Yes, it's three, I remember, as soon as you didn't leave, a woman dressed as a palace maid I didn't know came to my palace, saying that she had sealed your words and came to call away the two eunuchs beside me."

Cao's eyes rolled, and he glanced at Empress Wan and added.

"Oh, that's it, the assassin only caught one, and was killed, and now a woman has run away, and a eunuch, since it's someone next to you, presumably, you should know where the one who escaped is, in this case, you should hand it over first!"

Rong Jin hooked her lips gloomily, and her black eyes were extremely shiny.

Cao Shi was indignant and said, "Lord Yuyan, since you dare to do such a thing, you would have killed people a long time ago, whether the assassins really escaped or not, it's not up to you what you say, but now you asked me to hand over people, after they left my palace, they didn't come back, now where do you ask me to hand over people?" ”

“……”

Rong Jin lowered her head and pondered, and Empress Wan took a deep breath, "Lord Yuyan, what the Cao family said, this palace doesn't want to believe it, but the evidence is conclusive, unless you can have evidence to prove that the Cao family's words are not true, otherwise murdering the dragon species is a big crime of the nine clans, the facts are in front of you, you have nothing to say." ”

"Cao's family, the county lord and you have no grievances, what are you trying to do to harm her, you say, who instigated you to frame the county lord, you say!"

Shui asked Cao angrily.

Cao knelt on the ground, looking like he was at home, "Mrs. Yun, I am already a concubine in the cold palace, who will instigate me, I did not frame the county lord of Yuyan, I swear, what I said is true!" ”

"Do you dare to swear by the fourth princess, are what you say the truth?"

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows coldly and asked rhetorically.

"You...... You are so vicious, of course I am telling the truth! If it is not true, I am willing to bear all the consequences. ”

Cao's face turned pale, and he bit his lower lip stubbornly.

"Including the fourth princess, who was affected by your lies, there will be no good end in this life?"

Rong Jin asked aggressively.

Seeing Cao Shi's hesitation, Queen Wan, who was seated, slapped the table fiercely, and secretly gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "Shut up, curse the royal princess, Lord Yuyan, you are so bold!" ”
