Chapter 563: The Situation Changes
The imperial concubine on the side listened to what they said, and she was very dissatisfied, but she couldn't have a seizure, so angry that she was about to smoke.
Originally, the matter was almost settled, this Concubine Rong was going to come out to make trouble, this was obviously not seeing that the murderer was her, so she refused to give up, it was really like a piece of dog skin plaster, and she couldn't get rid of it.
Caiyu clenched her palms even more, pinched a mouthful of sweat for her master, and thought about how to break the game.
An Chang was secretly looking at Caiyu with her spare eyes, and there were many questions she wanted to ask her, but this was not a good time to ask her, she could only watch quietly, and she couldn't help Caiyu anything.
But she knew that Caiyu would not betray her no matter what, although she hid a lot of things from her, but she believed that Caiyu must be for her good.
Jun Huaiyu saw that the three of them were persuading him, so he set his eyes on the imperial concubine and asked, "What do you think of the concubine?" Do you want to give Xiao Zhuozi another chance to defend herself? ”
The imperial concubine wanted to persuade Jun Huaiyu to let him not investigate, but if she persuaded her, it would be troublesome for Concubine Rong to implicate her with this dirty water.
She had no choice but to look at Jin Huaiyu reluctantly and said with a smile: "The concubine is not good at taking care of the harem, and she has no experience in handling this matter, everything is up to the emperor." ”
Concubine Rong said lukewarmly: "My sister is really modest, when I accepted the power of the harem before, I didn't see my sister feel that she was not capable enough to refuse the emperor's request, but now she is so modest, it really surprises my sister." ”
The smile on the imperial concubine's face froze, and then she returned to normal: "What my sister said is that this palace really overestimated herself, and she forgot that the peace of the harem was the credit of Concubine Duan, and she also thought that the sisters could get along peacefully, but I didn't know that it would add so much trouble to the emperor, and this palace really didn't expect it." ”
"There are so many mistakes now, all because of the improper governance of the palace, how dare the palace boast of Haikou, it is also the emperor Shengming, and he will return the power to Concubine Duan, otherwise this harem is afraid that it will be even more chaotic."
On the surface, this is praising Concubine Duan, but in fact she is praising her, the more she says that she has good governance ability, and if there is a problem in the later stage and there is greater turmoil, then Concubine Duan will not be able to escape the blame.
Concubine Duan also sensed her intentions, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine really thinks too highly of the concubines, and the concubines can govern the six palaces well, it is all the credit of the sisters, they are willing to coexist peacefully, and the concubines can worry a lot less." ”
"It's just that the new concubines don't understand the rules of the palace and don't know how to get along with other sisters, so there will be so many turmoil, it's not that the imperial concubine is incapable."
"What Concubine Duan said makes sense, after all, you have no experience in managing the harem, so you should be like this, don't take yourself too lightly." Jun Huaiyu comforted.
"Since the opinions of all the concubines are that there is a misunderstanding, then I will investigate it again, so as not to escape the real murderer."
"Your Majesty." Everyone complimented.
Jun Huaiyu bowed his head slightly, his anger dropped slightly, but the majesty of the king was still there, he looked at Xiao Zhuozi, and asked in a deep voice: "I will give you one last chance, you will honestly explain everything clearly, if you are really innocent, I will not wronged you." ”
Xiao Zhuozi was overjoyed, and kowtowed several times in a row, and said gratefully: "The slave thanked the emperor and thanked all the ladies and gentlemen." ”
Concubine Rong said kindly: "Tell me about your affair with Caiyu, if you are really innocent, the emperor will definitely return your innocence." ”
Caiyu on the side lowered her head, her brows were about to wrinkle, her palms were full of cold sweat, she wanted to interrupt Xiao Zhuozi's speech, but in this way, she would only die faster, and she could only watch Xiao Zhuozi defend.
An Chang was also very worried in her heart, she had already seen the situation clearly, the situation of the imperial concubine was not much better than theirs, the three concubines targeted her together, even if they wanted to help themselves, they couldn't help, and they would even put themselves in.
She doesn't count on the imperial concubine now, the imperial concubine can not confess them and abandon them, it is already a blessing, and now they can only save themselves.
I only heard Xiao Zhuozi say: "Back to the emperor, the slave really didn't write any note for her to come to the minion, she had no contact with the slave a long time ago, and those letters were written to her by the slave before, but the slave really hasn't looked for her again." ”
"It's all because the slave was fascinated for a while, and she inadvertently exposed the position of Xin Chang in the meal, so that she could be given a chance, and the slave was guilty."
Jun Huaiyu and everyone's eyes fell on Caiyu's body again, and Caiyu hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, it's not what he said, the slave maid went to look for him, but the slave and maid really don't know where the food is in Changchang, and they didn't poison it, the slave and maid are wronged!" ”
After saying these words, her face turned red, and she pointed at Xiao Zhuozi angrily and said, "How can you slander me like this? Did you accept other people's money, do such an insidious thing, and condemn the emperor, so you asked me to go and slander me for this matter? ”
An Changzai followed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, although the concubine has a conflict with An Changzai and has had a quarrel, but after all, there is no enmity between life and death, how can she risk her life to kill her, how could the concubine put her life into it because of these trivial things?" ”
"There must be someone who sees that there is a conflict between the concubine and Xin Changzai, so he deliberately slanders the matter on the concubine, after all, the concubine is the most motivated person, and it is reasonable!"
"Nope! Minions don't! The minions have not been poisoned at all, the minions are innocent! Xiao Zhuozi retorted.
Seeing this, the imperial concubine said: "Your Majesty, the concubine feels that what An Chang is saying also makes some sense, after all, she has a grudge against Xin Chang, if something happens to Xin Chang, everyone will be the first to suspect her, how dare she do this?" ”
"What's more, Xin Chang is now infected with the plague again, and her life is in danger at any time, An Chang Zai and Xin Chang Zai have no big enmity, even if Xin Chang is dead, she has no benefit, so why risk being found out to do such a thing."
An Chang heard the words of the imperial concubine, his heart warmed, and he was a little comforted, at this time, the imperial concubine was willing to help them speak, which was already considered benevolent and righteous.
If the imperial concubine really abandoned them and let them be substitutes for the dead, then she would no longer remember the imperial concubine's kindness in helping them, and she would definitely make their collusion public.
But seeing the imperial concubine like this, she remembered that if it weren't for the imperial concubine, they would have died a long time ago, and they couldn't do anything to take revenge.
Even if they recruit the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine may not be fine, but their little life will be lost, so if the imperial concubine treats them as outcasts to protect herself, she will not confess her.
