Chapter 588: Blame
Chu Ling saw Mo Huayuan's weak and pale appearance, a sharp gaze shot out of his eyes, and a trace of worry appeared on his face, and then he became concerned: "Nanhou, you may insist?" ”
Mo Huayuan coughed weakly twice, half-lowered his eyes, and nodded: "Emperor Xie cares, the concubines are okay, and they can persevere." Her voice was hoarse after crying, and people couldn't help but feel pity.
Chu Ling's gaze retracted, fell on Duanmu Qing's body, an inky light flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Duanmu National Master, although the evidence you submitted shows everywhere that this matter has nothing to do with Nanhou, and you said that these things were done by Nanhou's personal palace maid Sandalwood, which is also too far-fetched." ”
As soon as Sandalwood heard her name, she instantly glanced at Chu Ling in astonishment, she only felt trembling in her heart, and then her eyes fell on Duanmu Qing's body.
Mo Huayuan was also stunned, her face was terrified, and she stared at Duanmuqing with an anxious expression, she never thought that Duanmuqing would move the charge to Sandalwood.
"Yes, the evidence submitted by the minister has all the evidence of Sandalwood's crime, I hope the emperor will see it." Duanmuqing said very firmly, with a confident look.
This time the charge must be grafted onto Sandalwood's body, otherwise Mo Huayuan will bear all these charges, in order to get Mo Huayuan out of such a crime, the only way to pull Sandalwood out of the guilt.
Because in this palace, only Sandalwood and Mo Huayuan are close, even if he wants to blame others, he has no way to start, he is not familiar with the other concubines in this palace, and this time is short, he can't find a good way to help Mo Huayuan get rid of his guilt for a while, so he can only try this method.
In the past few days of investigating the case, Chu Ling has been sending people to follow him, if he makes any moves, it will fall into Chu Ling's eyes, even if he wants to create a little false evidence, it will fall into Chu Ling's eyes, no matter what plan will naturally be detected by Chu Ling, and it will all fail.
Being in the palace of the Northern Chu Kingdom, everything he does is prevented, and he is monitored at any time, there is no freedom at all, and it is a problem to exert his ability to save Mo Huayuan, and his ability is also limited.
It was also at this moment that he realized that Chu Ling's power, the power exclusive to the king was really strong, and it was no wonder that the Northern Chu Kingdom gradually became prosperous under the leadership of Chu Ling, far more prosperous and powerful than other countries.
This was also the first time he would have a sense of frustration when facing an opponent, and he was even worried that he would not be able to protect Mo Huayuan, and even more worried that he would fail today.
How everything will be is unknown, but hopefully we can win in the narrowest hands.
And to graft all these sins onto Sandalwood's body, he has already laid it out, and he only has the intention of waiting for Chu Ling.
When Chu Ling heard this, she looked at Sandalwood next to Mo Huayuan in surprise, and looked at Sandalwood motionless and asked, "Sandalwood, do you have any objections?" ”
Sandalwood's face immediately turned from white to blue, with deep horror, and said like an electric shock: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has never done it." ”
"I haven't done it...."Duanmuqing said coldly, his gloomy gaze stared at Sandalwood: "Sandalwood, if you lie at this time, this crime is a crime plus one degree." It's in vain that you have been by the side of Nanhou Niangniang since you were a child, but you are so femme fatale, you have done these things to hurt the heavens and reason, and you have fallen into the situation of being unrighteous for your master. ”
Sandalwood greeted Duanmuqing's aggressive gaze, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Ling to deny: "The slave really hasn't done it, please let the emperor know!" "She hasn't done those things, even if she participates, but that's what Mo Huayuan wants her to do, she's just a slave, so she has no choice.
"Your Majesty, this girl is bold and reckless with the favor of Nanhou Niangniang, and has been deceiving the emperor and Nanhou Niangniang, and now she wants to win everyone's sympathy, but she is just hiding the truth, and I hope that the emperor will pull this girl down and punish her hard, so as to ask her to tell the truth." Duanmuqing's voice was extremely cold, and he was determined to pull out the sandalwood.
Hearing this, Sandalwood's whole body trembled like a dead leaf in the wind, raised her face in horror, looked at Duanmuqing with wide eyes, and complained: "Master Guoshi, how can you put all the sins on the slave maid, these are not done by the slave maid, it is clear..."
Mo Huayuan looked at Sandalwood's helpless appearance, shook his head and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Sandalwood, what is it?" Chu Ling's tone was deep, and there was a sharp eagle-like light in his eyes, as well as a domineering aura that persecuted people.
Sandalwood raised her head and looked at Chu Ling, with tears in her eyes, and said very sadly; "Slave maid.... The slave maid ....., "Mo Huayuan has been her master since she was a child, and she treats her very well, does she really want to give her master?"
Once she confesses, not only Mo Huayuan will not be able to escape punishment, but she will also be punished.
But if she doesn't confess, then she will admit that these sins were committed by her, she is just a palace maid, and Chu Ling is so jealous and hateful, she will not let her go.
She hesitated, lowered her head, and cried so hard that she seemed to be a little out of breath.
"Your Majesty, don't persecute Sandalwood, all this is done by the concubines, hiding poison in the queen's palace, releasing villains, the person who poisoned and coerced Concubine Meng is a concubine, and the person who forced Li Yunluo to confess is a concubine, not the queen." Suddenly, Mo Huayuan's heartbroken voice sounded, and he also cried bitterly.
As soon as her words fell, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and they all stared at Mo Huayuan in shock, as if they couldn't believe what she said.
Duanmu Qing's eyes shot a look of surprise and anger, his face turned cold, his whole face looked extremely weird, and the look under his eyes was also very complicated.
Because, Mo Huayuan actually confessed, she actually admitted her sins at such a time, and she also told her crimes in front of so many people.
Just when he was trying to help her get rid of her guilt, she actually said such things, it was like jumping out to find a way to die, and he had to give up the plan to continue to blame Sandalwood for his sin.
He closed his eyes, his eyes were a little cold, and his expression became even more cold.
It's not that he doesn't help, it's that she doesn't need it.
"Mo Hua Yuan...... You say it again. Chu Ling asked calmly, her voice was full of surprise, as if she was surprised that Mo Huayuan would admit to the crime.
A flash of despair flashed in Mo Huayuan's eyes, she raised her head uncomfortably, her lips trembled a few times, and her hands trembled nervously.
"Mo Huayuan....." Chu Ling saw that Mo Huayuan didn't speak, so he called out again.
Although Mo Huayuan tried not to cry loudly, he also cried: "The concubine confesses, but the fire in the cold palace was not done by the concubine, and the concubine did not kill the queen, let alone the queen who killed the concubine." After a pause, she raised her head again and said with a bright face:
"Your Majesty, the concubines all confessed, and I hope that the emperor can bypass the concubines, for the sake of the ignorance of the concubines, and for the sake of the concubines being princesses, bypass the concubines!"
