Chapter 1724: Refusing to admit it
Concubine Qin pointed at Ping'er with an ugly face, and said sharply: "Okay, you Ping'er, you are full of nonsense in front of the emperor and wantonly slander me, it is really hateful, with your crimes, it is not too much to die ten times and a hundred times." ”
Compared with Ping'er's trembling, Tu Lichen would not be intimidated by Concubine Qin's words, and stood up on crutches and said, "Concubine Qin is so angry, isn't it because Ping'er told you what you did?" ”
Concubine Qin stared at Tu Lichen and said, "Master Tu, even you believe the words of this yellow-haired girl?" There wasn't a word of truth in her mouth. ”
"According to what the concubine said, what she said before in Kunning Palace is also false? Because you said she didn't have a lie in her mouth at all. "They are both people who have been rolling in the wind and waves for decades, and in terms of eloquence, how could Tu Lichen lose to Concubine Qin.
Concubine Qin stared at him for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Judging from what Lord Tu said, do you think that Ping'er said just now?" But don't forget, it was the queen who first caused trouble in front of the emperor, and then ordered the emperor to summon Ping'er to testify, even if I could instruct Ping'er to lie, but how could I instruct the queen to do things? It simply doesn't make sense. ”
Even if Concubine Qin didn't say it, Yin Zhen also had this question in his heart, he remembered very clearly that it was the Nala clan who first mentioned Ling Ruo and Yunli in front of him, and then there were many things that followed, if the Nala clan was really innocent, why did he mention that incident so coincidentally, which made him suspicious of Ling Ruo.
Without waiting for Ping'er to speak, Tu Lichen already said: "There is nothing to say at all, although Concubine Qin can't manipulate the queen, she can take precautions in advance, once the matter reaches the emperor's ears, no matter who spreads it, you can push the matter to the queen herself, and Prince Guo's mansion will be completely wiped out." ”
Concubine Qin said in a deep voice: "Master Tu, are you obviously going to splash dirty water on me?" ”
Tu Lichen raised his eyelids and said: "Don't dare, the old man is just telling the truth, if the concubine wants to blame, blame herself for not having clean hands and feet, and not getting rid of Ping'er in time, so that the truth ***, maybe this is the so-called Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky!" ”
"You!" Concubine Qin was angry and hated Tu Lichen's words, but she was helpless, because the fact was just like what Tu Lichen said, she was indeed careless, because there was only Hongying by her side, she failed to bring back Ping'er who was unable to walk for a while after being tortured with a cane, but Ping'er never appeared again, but she was out of the palace, but she didn't know where she went.
At this time, Yunli, who had never spoken much, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my brother believes that Eniang will not do this kind of framing thing, please ask the emperor to investigate." ”
Not to be outdone, Tu Lichen said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that now the truth has been revealed, and everything is done by Concubine Qin's envoy Ping'er, and it has nothing to do with the queen's mother, please return the emperor's innocence." ”
When Concubine Qin heard this, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Tu Lichen is obviously deliberately excusing the queen's mother, maybe even Ping'er's words were also made up by him in advance." ”
Tu Lichen was about to speak, but Yinzhen had already raised his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about it for a few of you, I still have something to ask Ping'er." ”
He opened his mouth, naturally no one would say more, Yinzhen got up and walked to Ping'er, who had become stiff because of nervousness, and said in a cold voice: "You said that Concubine Qin instructed you to wronged the queen?" ”
"Yes." After Ping'er nodded, he said again: "Although you are just a minion, you should also understand what a great crime it is to wronged the queen of the dynasty, why do you still follow the words of Concubine Qin, just because she is your master?" ”
Ping'er picked at the cracks of the bricks on the ground hard, and even broke the nails on her index finger with such force, she endured the pain in her fingertips, bowed her head and said: "If you go back to the emperor, because Concubine Qin promised a slave and maid at that time, she couldn't refuse the benefits." She said...... Ping'er quickly looked up at Concubine Qin on the side, and said in a low voice: "In fact, since the slave maid met the seventeenth master, he has always admired him, and regarded him as the best man in the world......
Before Ping'er's words fell, Concubine Qin was already excited: "Bold and cheap, full of nonsense, with your kind of birth and character, how can you be worthy of becoming a concubine of Yunli, I will never say such a thing to you!" ”
Under her reprimand, Ping'er said with a hint of sarcasm: "Yes, the concubine never planned to really give the slave maid to the seventeenth master, the concubine and the slave maid said this, just to coax the slave and maid to help you deal with the queen mother." If it weren't for the slave and maid who woke up in time and didn't return to Prince Guo's mansion, the slave and maid would have become a corpse by now. ”
"You...... You slut dare to slander me like this, damn it! After Concubine Qin scolded Ping'er with a pale face, she knelt down to Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, since I entered the palace to serve the first emperor in the 33rd year of Kangxi, I have been diligent and self-controlled, and I have never been evil to others. Over the years, I have always been grateful to the emperor, how could I do such a thing for my own selfishness. On the contrary, it was Master Tu Lichen who found Ping'er, a cheap maid, and slandered me in every way, I don't know what his intentions were. ”
In the face of her words, Tu Lichen said: "Concubine Qin is like this, she really responds to a sentence - the thief shouts to catch the thief." ”
Concubine Qin glared angrily when she heard this, "Tu Lichen, I respect you as a veteran of the two dynasties, but you shouldn't go too far!" You said that I did this, what evidence is there other than Ping'er? ”
Tu Lichen ignored her, and arched his hand to Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qin said it herself just now, the emperor respects her as a concubine, so that she can enjoy her old age in peace, but if something happens to Prince Guo, the so-called peaceful old age will become a joke, so the old minister has reason to believe that in order to maintain her status and glory, Concubine Qin instructed Ping'er to frame the queen's mother." ”
"You talk nonsense!" Concubine Qin's chest couldn't help but rise and fall, but not entirely because of anger, but also because of fear, the fear that Tu Lichen thought in the center.
Listening to the two fighting there, Yin Zhen said impatiently: "Okay, all this is your conjecture, is there any other evidence to prove that everything was done by Concubine Qin?" ”
This sentence immediately made Tu Lichen speechless, because he only held Ping'er's chess piece in his hand, and nothing else. Looking at the current situation, Ping'er alone obviously can't make Yinzhen believe it.
At this time, Ping'er remembered something and said: "Your Majesty, when Concubine Qin said those words to the slave maid, there was still one person there, that is, the maid Hongying beside Concubine Qin, and the emperor could send her to interrogate." ”
