"This palace only asks you one thing, and you just answer." Lan Xin only felt a terrible headache. It was as if each strand of hair was pulled in different directions by different forces, and the dense pain made her hysterically want to break free, but she couldn't get out of this dilemma. If she hadn't installed Li Yu by the emperor's side earlier, and was picked by the queen mother, would she have a chance of winning?

Qi Qige nodded vigorously, and said with a straight face: "The concubine must answer truthfully, and she will never dare to deceive." ”

"Have you decided to tell the truth to the emperor, and do not hesitate to use your own and even Yongqi's future as a bet to repay the debt owed to Concubine Hui and repay her innocence?"

"Concubine ......" Qige still hesitated, it was not difficult to make such a decision in his heart at all, just for Yongqi. Back to the queen's mother, the concubine has done too many wrongs, and she can't make mistakes anymore. Concubine Hui was originally innocent, even if it endangered the concubine herself, it didn't matter, it was what the concubine should receive. Yongqi is innocent. ”

This time, there was no pleading, and there was nothing to worry about. Niangniang's favor benefited the concubines and imperial heirs of the six palaces, and the concubines thought to themselves, whether there were any concubines or not, the queen would feel the same distress for Yongqi. In this way, the concubine has made up her mind, and she must explain the whole thing to the emperor. ”

Lan Xin bowed her head, and also breathed a sigh of relief for Concubine Hui in her heart. Although she is the queen, if Concubine Yu is unwilling to tell the truth for Concubine Hui, she is not ready to send her to the emperor. These days, through Li Yu's secret investigation, Concubine Yu has really changed a lot. Lan Xin was already very relieved, and she really wanted to give her a chance to live.

"The idea is your own, and what this palace can do is to accompany you to the Heart Cultivation Palace. As for how the emperor will deal with this matter, this palace does not dare to say anything, in short, it is best if you don't regret it. ”

The concubine only regretted that she was too delusional in the past, wanted to win the emperor's favor, and wanted to become the most beautiful master in the Forbidden City one day. It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and the emperor doesn't care about the concubines at all. But now, it doesn't matter, Queen Mother, from you, the concubines understand how to behave, and they understand how to have a clear conscience. Thank you for your company, let's go. Qiqige slowly got up and took a breath with a smile on his face, feeling much more relaxed.

Overcoming the inner anxiety and entanglement, facing yourself calmly turned out to be such an easy and beautiful thing.

Li Yu walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall slowly, with a heavy heart. There is no suspense about his identity now, and the emperor must know it clearly. In fact, from the moment he and Xiao Houzi rushed to Changchun Palace like crazy, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Although the queen is well-intentioned, can the emperor allow such an "unfaithful" slave to stay by his side?

"Your Majesty." He bowed in, and a thousand children beat down, and called briefly.

Hongli raised his eyes and glanced at it casually, and said: "Wang Jinbao has been sent to the Shen Criminal Division, and after being whipped, he will be dragged to a mass grave." I decreed that he be buried alive, but whether or not he could survive until that time depended on his creation. ”

"Minions deserve to die." Li Yu's face at this time was more serious than ever. He does things for the queen mother and the queen, but in fact, he is not doing things for the emperor in the end. "Please punish the emperor."

"What did you do?" Hongli's uncertain eyes turned slightly, as if he was fixed on the fold in his hand, and as if he didn't pay attention to anything at all.

"The slave was ordered by the queen to serve the emperor." Li Yuhao didn't hide it, in fact, he didn't think about quibbling by himself. "The slave didn't reveal his identity to the emperor in advance, it's really damned."

"Let the queen in." Hongli waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry down.

Li Yu didn't feel happy, but his mood became heavier and heavier. It doesn't matter if you send it directly to the Shen Criminal Division to be boarded, or if you send it out of the palace, you don't have to worry about it. This is a good thing, the emperor didn't even reprimand, and it became more and more difficult for people to guess, and they didn't dare to think about it.

Lan Xin led Concubine Yu in, as if a cloud was shrouded overhead, and she hung her head sullenly and kept silent. When the emperor was blessed with respect, she and Concubine Yu had a tacit understanding and didn't make a sound, but just repeated the actions that had to be repeated many times in the day, and did it in a regular manner.

"Say it." Hongli didn't care, just calmly pointed at Yu Concubine.

Qi Qige knelt down to confess the crime, and said concisely: "Your Majesty, the death of Concubine Zhe has nothing to do with Concubine Hui's mother, all of this was carefully planned by the Queen Mother, and the concubine personally ordered the slaves to implement. And Gao Heng was involved in this matter, but the Queen Mother ordered people to do things outside the palace, and Concubine Hui didn't know about it from beginning to end. ”

Hongli turned the mutton fat white jade wrench on his thumb, and looked at his eyes with a smile: "Why don't you say it sooner or later, but you want to tell me at this time?" ”

"The concubine is cowardly, the queen mother threatens Yongqi's life, and the concubine does not dare to make a mistake, lest Yongqi will be bad. But...... It is also impossible for people to see that the concubine is wronged, so I have to say. Qi Qige lowered his eyelids and didn't want to look at the emperor anymore: "The concubine knows that she is guilty of death, and she only asks the emperor to return the innocence of the concubine, if so, the concubine will finally repay some of her sins."

With a crisp sound of "clang", Hongli Yang turned over the Nine Dragons pearl gilt incense burner, and the incense ash was scattered everywhere, accompanied by the ambergris powder that had not yet been burned, and it was not good to choke people. "How can you pay for your sins like this?"

Lan Xin knew why the emperor was angry, so he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to make amends, if Concubine Hui knows the emperor's thoughts, she will inevitably change her mind and no longer complain." ”

"Hmph." Hongli snorted coldly: "I have done everything to the end, so you can say that I am wrong, let me admit my mistake." When this is a three-year-old child soiling each other's clothes, a piece of sugar, a bean coaxing, okay? Concubine Hui has been with me for almost twenty years. I didn't believe her at all, I thought she was a vicious woman who did all kinds of evil, what face did I have to admit my mistakes to her, where did I put my face, where to put all these years of love. Queen, you say! ”

"The concubine is guilty." Lan Xin saw that the emperor was angry, so he naturally knelt down respectfully. "The concubine's failure to find out about this matter as soon as possible caused the matter to come to such a point is the fault of the concubine. Otherwise, the concubine took Concubine Yu to Chuxiu Palace, explained the matter to Concubine Hui, and asked Concubine Hui for forgiveness. ”

"Understanding? What does the queen think Hui Guifei can understand? Hongli's protruding forehead looks very terrifying, coupled with his low complexion, there is a sharp edge in his majesty, which is really terrifying.

Lan Xin was a little afraid to look at it. "The emperor was just blinded for a while, if Concubine Hui can understand the emperor's difficulties, she will definitely understand."

"If it were you, would you understand?" Hongli asked coldly: "I also broke your heart, and to this day, don't you still have the same concerns about me?" The broken mirror is reunited, and the reunited is only a broken mirror, not to mention that I hurt Concubine Hui so deeply. ”

Qi Qige wept, she could imagine how desperate Concubine Hui was. She waited hard for a person who really loved her for a lifetime, and when she came, it was his suspicion and his distrust that sent her to a dead end. Whoever it is, I'm afraid it's hard to let go. "It was the concubine who deserved to die, and the concubine didn't tell the truth to Concubine Hui early in the morning, and didn't clear her name, so that the emperor broke the concubine's heart. The concubine is willing to ......"

"Palm." Hongli snorted coldly, and then lowered his voice: "You have a palm, I don't want to...... I don't want to listen to you, so I slapped me and beat me hard. ”

"The concubine obeys." His character is very calm, fearless in his heart, and his hands are even more vigorous, slapping down one slap after another.

Lan Xin listened to the prickly heart, and had to change the conversation: "Your Majesty, since the matter has been settled, Chuxiu Palace has to go." ”

Hongli smiled coldly, and looked at Lan Xin in front of him: "When did the queen become so naïve?" ”

Lan Xin was puzzled, and looked at the emperor's deep gaze solemnly: "Your Majesty ......"

Pointing at Concubine Yu, Hongli asked with a grudge: "She said that the queen mother instructed her to do it, is there ironclad evidence?" If there is no ironclad evidence, how can I make Concubine Hui innocent. Could it be that just by biting the Queen Mother to death with one sentence, I want to tell the world that it was the Queen Mother who assassinated Concubine Zhe, and it was the Queen Mother who wanted to blame Concubine Hui? ”

Qiqi Ge was slightly stunned, and stopped his movements in amazement: "Your Majesty, the concubine instructed the queen's mother's family to bring the door to make a move, not in person, if the intermediary can be caught, he is the best witness." ”

"Will the Queen Mother allow such a person to live until now?" Hongli's cold voice once again shattered the dream woven by the two people in front of him. "The fact that the Queen Mother is not my biological mother, except for the queen, Hui Guifei, Xian Concubine and Yu Concubine, no one in the harem knows about it, right? Do you want me to testify against my so-called 'mother' on trumped-up charges? Or do you want me to bear the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety, and become the most unbearable king since the founding of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Lan Xin didn't expect that after the emperor knew the truth, he would still have so many concerns. "Could it be that the emperor can't bear it and let Concubine Hui ...... Unjustly dying? ”

"Which one does the queen think is light and which is heavy?" Hongli sneered: "On one side is the dying Concubine Hui, and on the other side is my imperial mother and imperial heir." Although it is not a pity for Concubine Yu to die, do you still want to catch Yongqi's future? Once the mystery of my life history is spread out of the palace, what will be the consequences, don't you have to think about it, queen? ”

Qiqige bit her finger, and the pain made her sober up a lot. Since the emperor didn't say to stop, how could she stop, so she continued to work hard, pulling it down one by one, but only her heart hurt.
