Chapter 284: Pleadings
Duan Yulin, who had seen the test results, was both shocked and angry, he didn't want to believe that someone in the harem was so bold and reckless that he dared to do such a dirty trick under his nose? And he tried to harm his offspring!
"How can you prove that the hands and feet in this incense burner were done by the imperial concubine?" The batch of furniture and furnishings in the Yilan Hall were personally ordered to be replaced, and the things were all manufactured from the division room according to the normal process. What went wrong?
"Does the emperor remember the bamboo beauty?" Wei Nan endured the discomfort in his heart and replied on his knees: "She lived in the Jade Pavilion with her concubines before her death. The incense burner in front of the emperor was the 'congratulatory gift' specially created for the imperial concubine when Muzhu sealed the girl in the ninth year of Shunjing. ”
"Sealed the musk's congratulatory gift? It's just a 'talisman'! Because of this, Zhu Mei and Tan Mei are infertile for life! It is also because of this that the concubine has a miscarriage! Lu Yezhen complained excitedly, because she herself was also victimized by it, and she could empathize with it the most.
Feng Wu picked up the incense burner and looked at its style carefully, it was indeed an old model. She proposed: "The objects in and out of the various divisions of the Shang Palace Bureau are all recorded. Why don't you find Hu Shanggong and Zhong Si to check the files? "At that time, Hu Zhenxia was still the director, and Zhong Chengbi was only in charge, and the two of them were also in a master-apprentice relationship. Thinking of this, Feng Wu seemed to suddenly understand something! She couldn't help but wonder, Xu Ying's hand would really be stretched so long?
"Go! Get me the Shang Palace and the division! By the way, please come over the imperial concubine too! Duan Yulin also sensed that the situation was serious, and wanted to call the defendant Xu Ying to confront him. He pointed at Lu and Wei: "You guys, keep talking!" ”
"The concubine suspected that the imperial concubine had bribed the people inside the Shang Palace Bureau and had done something to the furnishings of the Yilan Palace. This batch of incense tripods and incense burners was sent to Yilan Hall before the concubines moved to the palace, and they were actually for Yu concubines! The imperial concubine doesn't want Concubine Yu to conceive the emperor's heir! It's just that the concubine is unlucky, and she happened to be killed by the conspiracy of the imperial concubine! When it comes to sadness, Lu Yangzhen can't help but cry for the child who died in vain.
"Where is such a coincidence? The imperial concubine's vicious mind must have been planned to lure you into the trap! Beads of sweat dripped from Wei Nan's forehead, her lips were white, her tremors trembled, and she was obviously about to lose her support.
Fortunately, Feng Wu discovered Wei Nan's abnormality in time: "Wei Meiren is uncomfortable? Is it heart palpitations that have flare up again? Come on, help the beauty to sit down! ”
Pu Jia and Ling Qiao dragged Wei Nan to the chair with their hands and feet, and Ling Qiao hurriedly took out the heart-saving pill and gave it to the master. Wei Nan gasped for a while before slowly relieving himself.
Duan Yulin hadn't seen Wei Nan for a long time, and he didn't know that she was sick like this! There was a slight guilt in his concern: "What disease did Wei Meiren have?" Why didn't anyone tell me? ”
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the concubines don't dare to bother because of trivial matters." Wei Nan is sensible and knowledgeable, and has the same character as her aunt.
"The concubine is to blame for this, and the concubine is negligent." Feng Wu felt that it was time to help them, and she explained the reason why Wei Nan was seriously ill: "Originally, Wei Meiren only suffered from ordinary heart palpitations, although it could not be cured, but it was not life-threatening. But a month ago, she somehow angered the imperial concubine with her words. was kicked in the heart by the imperial concubine! ”
Feng Wu showed a heart-wrenching expression: "The imperial concubine is too, and her feet are not serious." This kick can be regarded as the best way to live for Wei Meiren...... The concubines sent medicinal materials for Wei Meiren to heal every day, but the imperial doctor was still unable to return to heaven and said...... Weimei people only have less than half a year to live! Alas! She let out a long sigh, containing a lot of helplessness and embarrassment.
Duan Yulin clenched the wine glass in his hand when he heard this, and the white jade wrench even scratched the body of the glass. It can be seen that the emperor is hated and angry.
"Is what the queen said true?" Duan Yulin stared at Wei Nan with a cold gaze. Wei Nan nodded effortlessly, no longer having the strength to speak.
"Doesn't the emperor still believe in his concubines?" Feng Wu thought it was funny, and she simply told him another fact: "Presumably the emperor has heard about it too, right?" The concubine punished Mu Mei for slapping her mouth at the gate of Chenqi Palace. Duan Yulin snorted, and Feng Wu explained: "The reason is that the imperial concubine first provoked Wei Meiren, and Wei Meiren retorted when she was humiliated, and then she kicked and injured her heart...... The concubine saved face for the imperial concubine and did not punish her directly. ”
"Ahem......" Duan Yulin just took a sip of tea when he was choked by Feng Wu's words. Feng Wu laughed in his heart that he deserved it, and patted him on the back: "Your Majesty, slow down!" ”
"I'm fine! You, what else do you have to say? Wei Nan couldn't say anything, Duan Yulin pointed to the one who could say it and asked her to say.
Lu Yezhen kowtowed three times again: "What the concubine below wants to say, although there is no real evidence, everything is true!" The concubine swore in advance that if there was a lie, she would be willing to suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing her heart! She held up three fingers and swore.
"Concubine, why are you so troubled?" Feng Wu shook her head, but her heart was excited. Later, Xu Ying and the others will come, and there will be another good show to watch!
Lu Yezhen went out, and she wanted to shake out all the bad things that Xu Ying had done: "In the eleventh year of Shunjing, on the way back from the southern tour, the royal car was raided by the rebels of the previous dynasty. At that time, the concubine was hit by an arrow in the chest and was in a coma for several months before she was able to save her life. Do you remember all these emperors? ”
"Of course. I will never forget it! "He was kidnapped by Qin Yan; His retinue and concubines were chased by the thieves and fled in all directions...... Shameful, how could he forget?
"The queen must remember most clearly, whose carriage was the concubine rescued from?" Lu Yezhen guided Feng Wu to recall the scene at that time.
Feng Wu thought about it carefully and said, "It seems to be the carriage of the imperial concubine?" In a panic, you fled to the imperial concubine's carriage! She remembered.
"Not bad! The concubine was so frightened that the arrow shot through the concubine's car. When the concubine saw that the imperial concubine's car was very strong, she asked for refuge. But the result is ...... A dark arrow came in through the window*, and the imperial concubine actually dragged the concubine to block it for her! Lu Huizhen closed her eyes sadly, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Lu Yangzhen, you are spewing less blood!" Xu Ying broke in violently, saluted the emperor and queen hastily, and went straight to Lu Yangzhen.
As soon as Xu Ying raised her hand to fight, she was stopped by Feng Wu: "Imperial concubine, step down!" In front of the emperor, how can you be wild? ”
Xu Ying withdrew her hand stupidly, squinted her eyes and glanced at Lu Haozhen viciously. turned his face and put on an innocent and wronged expression, and rushed to the emperor's side to argue: "The emperor don't listen to the slander of sluts, they all want to frame their concubines!" ”
Just when Fang Da went to the Shanggong Bureau to announce Hu Zhenxia and Zhong Chengbi, Hu Zhenxia felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent the little palace maid to report to Xu Ying. Xu Ying had already thought of a countermeasure before she came - she made up her mind that no matter what Lu Yezhen said, she would not admit it. Those so-called evidence may not be able to directly prove her guilt, and if necessary, she will choose to sacrifice one of Hu Zhenxia or Zhong Chengbi!
"Imperial Concubine, pay attention to your words, don't be a 'slut'! After all, they are also the concubines of the Son of Heaven, what do you think of the emperor when you use such insulting words to describe them? "Feng Wu is not afraid of big things when she looks lively, she hates Xu Ying's fake model and fake style the most.
"The concubine lost her words, lost her words." Xu Ying timidly looked at the emperor's reaction, but fortunately, Duan Yulin didn't care.
"The imperial concubines keep claiming that they have been wronged, so can you come up with strong evidence to refute them?" Duan Yulin spoke coldly.
"This ...... This is all fabricated by them out of thin air, where did the concubine get any evidence? Xu Ying denied it in a bit of a panic.
"Really? On the way back from the southern tour, the concubine did not have any basis for what she said; But do you dare to deny that Wei Meiren's injury is due to you?! Duan Yulin slapped the table suddenly, making Xu Ying tremble.
"Yes! Be! The concubine admits it! Wei Meiren is disrespectful, and the concubine will hurt people when she is dizzy. But the concubine didn't want to, and the concubine didn't know that Wei Meiren was suffering from heart palpitations! If the concubine knew, she would never do that! She made a look of regret, and turned her head to apologize to Wei Nan: "Wei Meiren, what happened last time is not right in this palace." However, you can't unite with concubines to frame this palace because you have a grudge against this palace! ”
Wei Nan had never seen such a shameless person as Xu Ying, and he was so angry that he was panting, but he couldn't say a word.
"Good! The concubine also thought that the imperial concubine would not admit it. So, how do you explain the bowl of poisonous almond cheese at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? "Lu Yezhen is aggressive.
"So, what does that have to do with Hongu? It was clearly poisoned by the palace maid Jiu'er, and it was the Zhou Guiren sisters who were poisoned, what does it have to do with you? The trick was seen through, and Xu Ying was somewhat weak-hearted.
"Oh, yes! Jiu'er is dead, you can put all the blame on her. But my maid has heard the 'interesting' inside story! Lu Yezhen nodded lightly.
Qing Qian knelt in front of her and clearly relayed to the emperor what she heard and saw that day, as well as how she changed the silver pill grass as a marker, and a series of "appalling" events.
Duan Yulin didn't speak, but Feng Wu heard a crisp cracking sound. Looking closely, there was an obvious crack on the blue and white porcelain wine glass that Duan Yulin had been playing with in his hand. He actually crushed the wine glass! The Emperor is really angry!
"It was the concubine who escaped by luck, but she caused Zhou Guiren's sisters to be substitutes for the dead ghosts! The concubine has always felt guilty in her heart, and today she finally said it, and she also counted a wish. Lu Huizhen couldn't cry: "Later, I had the mercy of God and let the concubine conceive the emperor's child, but ...... But the imperial concubine is a vicious woman, and she designed to lure the concubines to take the initiative to move to the Yilan Palace. Because she already knew that once the concubine lived in the Yilan Palace, the dragon fetus would definitely not be guaranteed! Those incense burners not only want to stop the pregnancy of the concubine, but also to harm the life of the concubine! ”
"Don't talk nonsense! You ......" Xu Ying was also anxious, and it happened that at this time, Hu Zhenxia and Zhong Chengbi were brought.
Xu Ying's heart beat faster. She wasn't sure if the ensuing confrontation would be a blessing or a curse for her.
