Chapter 922: Confession
Rumble!
Concubine Li Xian's heart was like a landslide, but Zhao Guiren breathed a sigh of relief.
Queen Zhou still didn't dare to be a cronie when she heard this, and said: "How did you hear Concubine Xian say this, and what words you heard, you can say everything in fifteen and ten, and you can't omit it." ”
"Yes."
Xian'er said timidly: "That day, the slave maid was cleaning the windows outside the hall, and suddenly saw Sister Yan'er hurriedly entering the hall, saying that there was big news to tell Concubine Xian. The slave and maid were also a little curious when they heard the news, and it happened that the windows and doors in the hall were not closed, so the slave and maid pricked up their ears to listen to the excitement. ”
Then I heard Sister Yan'er say that the Queen Mother took Mr. Ji to travel in the Imperial Garden, and Concubine Xian said that the Queen Mother was too much. Because she is the queen mother in power, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government give her face and don't talk about her, she should also be more restrained. also said that the queen mother took a male pet to swagger everywhere. ”
These words are like Concubine Li Xian's tone.
Empress Zhou looked at Concubine Li Xian again, "Concubine Xian, what Xian'er said is true?" If it's true, you'd better confess as soon as possible, and don't struggle anymore. If you can confess as soon as possible, this palace may be able to deal with it lightly for the sake of you taking the initiative to admit your mistakes. ”
Unsolicited confession?
Concubine Li Xian sneered in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and endured until now, if she confessed now, wouldn't all the efforts she had made been in vain?
She thought that Zhao Guiren could come up with any evidence, but she didn't expect that it was just a little palace maid Xian'er.
Concubine Li Xian hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the concubine really didn't say it. This Xian'er may have been bought, or maybe he has some resentment towards his concubines, so he colluded with outsiders to rumor about his concubines. Could it be that the queen mother wants to convict the concubine of her concubine just by her words? ”
She looked at Yan'er beside her again, "Yan'er has been by my side since she was a child, and she is as pampered as a deputy lady, maybe she has a big temper and provoked this Xian'er girl, so she intends to take revenge." And Zhao Guiren also admitted that she was very vindictive towards her concubines, and the two of them got together and acted in a play to take revenge on the concubines, didn't the queen mother understand it? ”
Empress Zhou was silent.
Xian'er was flustered and powerless to defend herself, so she could only keep shaking her hand and whispering: "No, the slave doesn't have it, the slave doesn't have ......."
Zhao Guiren was anxious and pointed at Concubine Li Xian, "Have you ever said that you know it very well in your own heart, Xian'er is so timid, can you still talk nonsense in front of me?" If it weren't for the people of Chuxiu Palace who took pity on her and took care of her, I am afraid that she would have jumped into the well long ago. It is precisely because of this that Xian'er told me this, she is not a betrayal, and you can only blame you for not being worthy of others to be loyal to you! ”
"Zhao Guiren is really articulate."
Concubine Li Xian smiled: "Yes, Yan'er has a big temper, maybe she accidentally bullied Xian'er, I admit that I have the crime of being unable to discipline, and I will definitely discipline Yan'er in the future." But this Xian'er spread rumors out of thin air, isn't it because Yan'er bullied her that she wants to take revenge? It just so happens that you and I don't get along, so why didn't she weave lies and ask you to cooperate? ”
"You ......"
Although Zhao Guiren was angry, he didn't know how to refute her.
Concubine Li Xian is sharp and good at defending herself, and at this point, ten Xian'er and ten Zhao Guiren together are fine.
Just when the situation was stalemate, Xiao Jizi suddenly stood up and arched her hand towards Queen Zhou, "Queen Mother, now the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and I can't understand it for a while." The slave thought, since the door of Changchun Palace was wide open that day, Xian'er would not be the only one who heard Concubine Xian's words, right? There must be someone else. ”
"The slave thought that he should still send this Xian'er and the palace people around Concubine Xian to the Shen Criminal Division, including Miss Yan'er. Under heavy punishment, I am not afraid that they will not tell the truth. ”
Yan'er's face turned pale, and she knelt beside Concubine Li Xian and couldn't even speak.
Concubine Li Xian was about to open her mouth to stop this decision, but she heard the cowardly Xian'er say, "Okay, the slave is willing to go to the Shen Punishment Division." The slave and maid are telling the truth, and no matter how much punishment is imposed, the slave and the maid will not change their words. ”
She mustered up her courage, turned around, and dared to look directly at Yan'er for the first time, "Sister Yan'er, you don't have to worry about others in this matter, you and I will go to the Shen Criminal Division together to see who changes their words first." ”
Yan'er trembled all over, and she didn't dare to look at Xian'er.
Xian'er suddenly came to such a show, which surprised everyone.
can also see a rough idea from her and Yan'er's reactions, Xian'er is so decisive, it can be seen that she does have confidence.
Looking at Zhao Guiren again, Queen Zhou already had an idea in her heart.
There was a little displeasure in her eyes, "Concubine Xian, do you still have to quibble now?" If the palace people around you confess after being sent to the Criminal Division, then in addition to slandering the Queen Mother, you also have to bear a charge of refusing to admit guilt, you can think about it. ”
Concubine Li Xian bit her lip, "Concubine...... It really wasn't said. ”
"Okay."
Empress Zhou looked at Xiao Jizi, "Then do what Gonggong Ji wants, and take Xian'er, Yan'er, and other palace people close to Concubine Xian to the Shen Criminal Division for questioning." ”
"Concubine Xian, save me!"
As soon as Yan'er heard this, she immediately grabbed Concubine Xian's clothes, "Niangniang, the slave doesn't want to go to the Shen Criminal Division!" I heard that the Shen Penal Division can only cover a thin quilt in winter, but it has to cover a quilt in summer, and the ground is covered with rats and bed bugs, and people will be woken up by cockroach bites when they sleep! Mother, the slave doesn't want to go! ”
She has been pampered in the Li Mansion since she was a child, Concubine Li Xian has never flicked her fingernails, and she has not even suffered the grievances that ordinary girls should suffer.
Now that she is suddenly asked to go to the Criminal Division, a place that is worse than going to prison, how can she stand it?
Concubine Li Xian bit her lip.
"Niangniang, Niangniang save me!"
Just when Yan'er was about to be pulled out, Concubine Li Xian suddenly snorted, "Slow!" ”
All eyes turned to her.
Concubine Li Xian kowtowed to Queen Zhou, "They are all concubines who are ignorant, and they quickly said disrespectful words to the Queen Mother." The concubine was afraid that the queen mother would blame, so she refused to admit it and begged the queen mother to forgive her sins, and the concubine was willing to go to the imperial garden to apologize to the queen mother in person. ”
Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Concubine Li Xian was relieved in order not to let her suffer.
In fact, Concubine Li Xian was indeed for her, but not to prevent her from suffering, but seeing Yan'er's performance, she knew that Yan'er couldn't stand the suffering of the Shen Criminal Division.
Instead of Yan'er confessing at that time, it is better for her to take the initiative to confess at this moment.
Seeing Concubine Li Xian's confession, Zhao Guiren also breathed a sigh of relief.
Her fate was picked up, and Xian'er's fate was also picked up.
Empress Zhou's gaze stopped talking, and Concubine Li Xian looked at her expression and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Before she could figure out what was wrong, she heard footsteps in the apse, followed by a familiar voice, "Heh, it's you." Concubine Li Xian, you have disappointed me too much. ”
