Chapter 496: Shirk
Dream Heart furrowed her brows, her face full of worry.
Originally, when she learned that Mo Huayuan did her poisoning, she had been secretly investigating this matter, and she was also swallowing her anger and looking for an opportunity to take revenge, but she did not find any evidence, nor did she find any opportunity to retaliate.
"Humph! Since you have no evidence, just by relying on a few words, I want to believe your testimony against Nanhou, then I can call it unfair. Chu Ling said coldly, and opened her eyes without worry, and there was a trace of disdain in her eyes:
"And the human and physical evidence that testifies against you, your sophistry has no credibility, and it is simply delusional to convince me that you are innocent. Perhaps, you just found a point to get rid of this matter, pulled Nanhou in, and wanted her to give you these charges to be true. ”
"Your Majesty, there are no concubines, the concubines just have no evidence, but as long as the emperor seriously investigates this matter, he will definitely find out a clue." Dream Heart frowned, knelt down again, her eyes flashed with sadness, and her performance seemed to be even more wronged than Dou E.
The corners of Chu Ling's eyes fluttered, with coldness and indifference on her face: "Of course I will investigate, but I must settle the account with you when you colluded with Concubine De to sell the queen to the desert." ”
Dream Heart's face instantly became frightened, and she retorted in surprise: "Your Majesty, the concubines didn't do this matter, it was all done by Nanhou Niangniang!" She pushed the matter to Mo Huayuan.
Chu Ling's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth said with a smile: "Hmph! At that time, Nanhou had not yet entered the palace, so how could she conspire with Concubine De. There are too many loopholes in your words. ”
Dream Heart woke up in shock, and she continued to retort: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, this is not what the concubine did, this is the ....." She stopped, her words stopped, and then she panicked: "Concubine De said nonsense before she died." ”
Chu Ling's eyes flashed a trace of innocence, and he rebuked angrily: "Enough, Dream Heart, I don't want to continue to listen to your quibbles, I don't believe a word of what you say now." Since you don't want to tell the truth, I don't force you, I have the time and opportunity for you to tell the truth. ”
Dream Heart's face seemed to turn into an ice pool, and his eyes showed a sense of surprise: "Your Majesty, you can't listen to other people's words!" ”
Chu Ling's eyes were dark, and he didn't speak.
At this time, Su Yuan walked back, and Su Yuan glanced at Dream Heart who was kneeling on the ground, and there was only infinite coldness and indifference on his face.
"Back to the emperor, there is indeed a corpse in the dry well of the cold palace, and after verification, that person is the personal palace maid of Concubine De." traced back to Chu Ling respectfully.
Just now I went to investigate the dry well in the cold palace, and he found the corpse, which confirmed the evidence of Dream Heart's guilt, and this time she couldn't escape if she wanted to.
Dream Heart's eyes drooped, frowned, and pondered.
"Come on, pull the concubine down, and wait for the fate." Chu Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous light order.
"Your Majesty, this is all framed, you listen to the concubine tell you in detail, and the concubine promises to let you find the real murderer." Dream Heart raised his head and prayed with hope.
Chu Ling glanced at Dream Heart hatefully, and he said in a slightly cold tone: "No need, I don't have the heart to listen to you." His eyebrows and eyes were dyed with coldness, and he said again ruthlessly: "Put the heart of dreams in prison and cancel the title of the concubine." She didn't want Dream Heart to die with the title of concubine when she died, such a woman was not suitable to be a concubine at all.
Dream Heart was stunned, choked speechless, and sat on the ground limp.
"All the people in the palace of the concubine praise the prison, and when the matter is clear, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be released will be released." Chu Ling dropped this sentence, and then shook his hand and left.
When Ye Er and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs heard such words, everyone's faces were embarrassed, but no one could refute the emperor's words, and they only hated the wrong master.
Gonggong An quickly followed, and Ah Yuan and Ah Jin also followed Chu Ling's body.
Only the source of the source stopped, his eyes were slightly condensed, and there was a hint of dark coldness in his eyes: "Guifei Niangniang, please!" He made an inviting gesture.
The heart of the dream was unresponsive, dumbfounded, and depressed.
Su Yuan looked at the two guards next to him, his eyes signaled to them, and the guards stepped forward and went to the heavenly prison with the heart of dreams, and the rest of the guards also went to leave with Ye'er, the palace maid and the eunuch.
"You don't have to follow me, I have to go to the southern harem." Chu Ling took a few steps, then paused, and turned to look at An Gongdao who was following him.
Ah Yuan and Ah Jin are secret guards, and they have long been hiding in the dark to secretly protect Chu Ling.
Grandpa An nodded, indicating that he understood.
Chu Ling left with confidence, he went to the southern harem, because he wanted to probe the mouth, he didn't forget what Dream Heart said just now, he didn't know whether this Mo Huayuan was involved or not, only after checking.
"Oh no, mother," a panicked call came.
Mo Huayuan was eating pastries, and suddenly saw Sandalwood running over in a panic, she realized that it was not good, and immediately dropped the pastries in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Mo Huayuan became vigilant, and her thin lips were tightly pursed.
"I just got the news that the concubine Niangniang was demoted to the prison by the emperor and her title was withdrawn. Moreover, the slave and maid also saw that the emperor was coming to you. Sandalwood said with a flustered face, this is the news that came just now.
Mo Huayuan was secretly frightened, his eyes turned around, and then he said, "Sandalwood, you go quickly." Tell everyone in the palace that no matter what someone asks about recently, or puts a knife on their neck, let them seal their mouths tightly with me. ”
Sandalwood nodded and left immediately.
Not long after Sandalwood left, Chu Ling's figure appeared at the gate of the palace.
Mo Huayuan didn't raise his head, but leisurely ate the pastry in his hand, pretending not to know: "Sandalwood, this pastry is really delicious." You make a new copy later, and I will send it to the emperor, and let the emperor taste it. She deliberately mistook the person who came in for sandalwood.
When Chu Ling heard this, his brows frowned slightly, his face became a little stunned, and his steps into it also stopped.
Mo Huayuan's face showed a look that was wrong, she turned around in surprise, and then saw Chu Ling standing at the door, her face was shocked, she quickly stood up, and then a smile rose at the corner of her lips, and she said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" As if realizing that there was something wrong with his words, he immediately bent down and saluted: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
Chu Ling raised her eyebrows, returning to her former calm and graceful appearance, with a warm smile on her face: "Come up, I come to see you, I haven't been to your palace for a long time." He strode to Mo Huayuan's side.
"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the emperor can come to see the concubine, the concubine is very honored." Mo Huayuan's eyes were smiling, and they were full of charm.
Chu Ling smiled casually, her eyes fell on the pastry, and said lightly: "It seems that Nanhou likes to eat this pastry very much!" ”
