Xue Wanqing bowed her head slightly, and chuckled: "If according to what Zhaoyi Niangniang said, the two maidservants of the concubine can also testify for the concubine." "It's ridiculous to use someone from Wen'e's side as a witness.

Xue Wanqing's voice fell, and Qiaoyun and Qiaolan hurriedly said: "The slave can testify for the beauty, it is Wen Cairen who has fallen into the water by herself, and the beauty is not harmless." "

"Nonsense!" Rong Jiao shot the case, and her anger was fully revealed, and everyone in the palace immediately knelt down, bowed her head, and didn't dare to say a word. "It's ridiculous! Snow beauty, you happened to be with Wen Cairen when she died, so you are the biggest suspect! "

Rong Jiao stared at Xue Wanqing deadly, with a cold light in her eyes, as if she wanted to force Xue Wanqing to obey. "Snow Beauty, are you pleading guilty?"

Xue Wanqing felt Rong Jiao's oppression and felt that Rong Jiao had some conspiracy. She felt faintly uneasy, her expression was much more serious, and she said clearly: "Queen Mother, the concubine is not guilty." "

"Good!" Rong Jiao straightened up and said coldly: "Someone! Torture! This palace wants to see if it is the snow beauty's hard mouth, or the whip of this palace is strong! "

"Queen Mother, no!" Mu Yao, who had just come in, said, "How can Niang Niang be executed in this Changqing Palace? This has been spread, not to mention that the concubines will say that Niangniang did things inappropriately and was privately executed in her own palace, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, Niangniang may not be easy to explain. As soon as Mu Yao heard that Xue Wanqing was killed, he hurried from Xue Qiong Palace. She knew in her heart that Xue Wanqing would not do this, and this matter must have been done by Rong Jiao and Fang Jinqiu, who wanted to trap Xue Wanqing in danger.

When Xue Wanqing saw Mu Yao, she was slightly surprised in her heart, she thought that this battle would be fought by her alone, but she didn't expect Mu Yao to come to help, and she couldn't help but feel a warm chest.

Rong Jiao looked at Mu Yao coldly, and said unhappily: "When will it be Mu Meiren's turn to do things in this palace?" Mu Meiren maintains Xue Wanqing so much, I'm afraid it will make people misunderstand! Rong Jiao saw that Mu Yao was helping Xue Wanqing speak, and her heart was even more angry, so she called Xue Wanqing by her name.

Mu Yao gave a shallow salute and said: "The concubine body is also thinking about the queen's mother, and I hope the queen's mother will not blame the concubine." Mu Yao looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, she was very anxious, she was worried that she would not be able to save Xue Wanqing, so she could only watch her suffer from whipping.

Rong Jiao sneered: "Then thank you Mu Meiren for taking care of you." But this palace has always been fair, this whipping, Xue Wanqing deserves it, who dares to say irresponsible remarks? Yu Yu glanced at the concubines present, and saw that all the concubines were afraid, and they were very proud, "If this palace lets this sinner go like this, others will say that there is no distinction between good and evil in this palace." ”

Rong Jiao turned her head to look directly at Mu Yao, and her voice sounded chilling: "Are you right, Mu Meiren?" ”

Mu Yao saw that it was irretrievable, so he had to salute and said: "What the queen mother said is that it is the fault of the concubine. Feeling guilty in his heart, he glanced at Xue Wanqing worriedly.

Rong Jiao raised her head, glared at Xue Wanqing, who was being held by two eunuchs, and said, "Someone! Execute! ”

Several eunuchs brought ropes and shelves, and tied Xue Wanqing tightly to the wooden frame, so that she had no chance to struggle.

Rong Jiao said fiercely: "Give this palace some strength!" This palace doesn't believe that you Xue Wanqing will not admit your guilt today! ”

Hearing this, the eunuch raised his whip high, puffed up his breath, and waved it vigorously.

"Ahh Xue Wanqing screamed. The whip fell on her thin body, and her head was dizzy from the pain, and her whole body was numb. With just one whip, half of Xue Wanqing's clothes were stained red with blood. She coughed lightly twice, blood flowing from the corners of her mouth down her neck to the hem of her dress. Mu Yao on the side turned away with tears in his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Rong Jiao smiled proudly, and her voice was faintly full of laughter: "Xue Wanqing, do you admit your guilt?" ”

Before Xue Wanqing could answer, Qiaoyun ran to Rong Jiao crying, knelt down with a "plop", and cried in her mouth: "Queen Mother, you just let my young lady go, my young lady really didn't kill Wen Cairen!" ”

Xue Wanqing's eyes were overflowing with tears, silly child, Rong Jiao is determined to put me to death, what does it matter if she kills Wen E or not?

At this time, the magpie also knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted: "Queen Mother! My talented people were killed by them, don't listen to their nonsense, you must be the master of the slaves! The slave and maid grew up with the talented people of my family since childhood, and the talented people treat the slaves and maids like their own sisters, and the slaves and maids must seek justice for the talented people! The slave maid still remembers that only a few days ago she said that she wanted to find a good family for the slave maid and didn't want the slave and maid to suffer in the palace. Pity my talented family, so young and beautiful, just ...... Woowoo woo ......"

The magpie cried a handful of snot and tears, and the crying person broke his liver and intestines. When the concubines on the side heard this, they all wiped away their tears, and one of the concubines even cried and shouted that Rong Jiao severely punished Xue Wanqing, and also received the magpie in her palace.

"Queen Mother!" Qiao Yun also kowtowed, "If Niangniang insists on punishing Miss, the slave is willing to suffer for Miss!" Please make it happen! ”

"No more talk!" Rong Jiao shouted angrily, "The Wen Cai and her slaves who are harmed by Xue Wanqing have suffered so much, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in the heart of this palace by cutting them with a thousand knives!" As for you, this palace will naturally punish you as well. ”

Rong Jiao glanced at the eunuch with the whip and said lightly: "Go on." ”

The eunuch moved his muscles and bones, and his big hand raised the whip, and the green tendons burst out, and he swung it vigorously towards Xue Wanqing.

"Ahh There was another even more terrible scream, but this time it wasn't Xue Wanqing, but the whip-wielding eunuch.

Xue Wanqing slowly opened her eyes and saw a tall shadow appear on the ground, and before she could see it carefully, she heard the sound of the concubines kneeling.

"See the Emperor." The concubines said in unison.

Is he coming?

"The queen is so bold that she dares to torture my woman." Long Yichen strode forward and said in a cold voice, "Why don't you hurry up and untie her?" Several eunuchs hurriedly ran over, and with trembling hands, they untied the ropes on Xue Wanqing's body.

Xue Wanqing's hands and feet were sore, she stumbled a step, and almost fell, but fortunately, Long Yichen's eyes were quick to hold her waist.

"Your Majesty......" Xue Wanqing looked at him, not knowing why, very relieved. She thought she was going to finish today, but she didn't expect him to suddenly appear...... The tears in Xue Wanqing's eyes instantly burst out of her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Long Yichen kissed her forehead shallowly and said gently.
