Chapter 788: Second Concubine
Emperor Jingming's eyes were full of anger, and he asked in a deep voice: "Can you deny that you have been kind to Xiao Dengzi?" β
Concubine Xian's expression became more and more calm, and she looked directly at Emperor Jingming and said: "The concubine didn't show kindness to Xiao Dengzi, but she happened to bump into him and wanted to throw himself into the lake, and she couldn't bear to lose the life of a young servant because of a lychee. β
As she spoke, she folded her hands, her bare nails could not cause pain, only an unfamiliar itch.
Her heart was so nervous that it almost stopped beating, but perhaps she was in a desperate situation, and her face seemed calm.
An all-or-nothing composure.
In Concubine Xian's view, at this time, a weak and flustered mind is a dead end, and only by fighting hard can there be vitality.
Xiao Dengzi actually missed.
Murdering the princess in broad daylight seems bold and reckless, but in fact, such a simple and crude approach can often be fatal with one blow, and it is much more effective than tortuous and euphemistic calculations.
But now that the fourteenth princess is dead, Princess Fuqing is safe and sound, and it can only be said that luck is not on her side.
What's even more unexpected is that when she was kind to Xiao Dengzi, it was obvious that only Xiao Zhuozi who was with Xiao Dengzi knew, and later she sealed Xiao Zhuozi's mouth, why did Pan Hai's apprentice Xiao Lezi bump into it?
Could it be that Skynet is really magnificent and sparse?
At this moment, Concubine Xian was a little shaken and frightened, but she quickly suppressed these emotions and said lightly: "If the emperor regards the concubine's unbearability as a favor, then the concubine has nothing to say." β
Giving grace everywhere, she can't recognize this reputation.
Emperor Jingming was difficult to find fault with Concubine Xian's words, but his anger was even worse, and he said coldly: "I can't bear it!" Since you admit that you saved Xiao Dengzi because you couldn't bear to save it back then, and Pan Hai took you to identify the corpse just now, why do you say that you don't know Xiao Dengzi? β
Speaking of this, Emperor Jingming couldn't help but raise his voice: "You lied in front of me, isn't it a weak heart?" β
Xiao Dengzi is a person from Chunhua Palace, and Concubine Ning was originally more suspicious of Concubine Ning between Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, but Concubine Xian lied as soon as she came, so he could only focus on Concubine Xian.
This woman lied and didn't admit it, she really didn't cry when she saw the coffin!
Concubine Xian's voice also became louder: "The concubine didn't lie!" β
She looked at the queen, then at Concubine Ning, and finally her eyes fell on Emperor Jingming's face, and said calmly: "Concubines have always been kind to people, and it is not easy to pity the palace people and never criticize them, such as Xiao Dengzi, I don't know how much I have done since the concubine entered the palace, the emperor asked Pan Hai to lead the concubine to recognize the corpse of a small chamberlain who had an intersection ten years ago, it is strange that the concubine can recognize it, right?" β
Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment, and he had nothing to say.
Concubine Xian still had something to say, looked directly at Emperor Jingming and asked, "Is it wrong for concubines to be kind to others?" If you treat these palace people as ants and ignore their life and death, won't you be as plain as you are today, and let others laugh at them? β
Speaking of this, Concubine Xian became excited, and coughed heart-rending with a handkerchief.
When she finished coughing, she took a look at the handkerchief, and hastily folded it into her sleeve.
Emperor Jingming caught a glimpse of a touch of red on the snow-white handkerchief at that moment.
His heart immediately jumped: Concubine Xian's body was so bad?
Seeing the surprise and reluctance in Emperor Jingming's eyes, Concubine Xian sneered in her heart.
Xiao Dengzi is dead, and there is no proof of death, who can say that she instigated it?
How to determine it in the end, but it depends on who the emperor believes more between her and Concubine Ning.
Yu Guang glanced at Concubine Ning, who was full of resentment, and Concubine Xian slightly hooked the corners of her lips.
One is murderous, the other is angry, she knows too much about the emperor's softness.
Emperor Jingming was stumped for a while.
The person has died, and now the concubines related to it have found out which one, which one is it, and if there is no conclusive evidence, how can the conclusion be made?
Emperor Jingming's gaze wandered between Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning.
Could it be that he would rather kill by mistake than let them go, and dispose of both of them?
And the queen pursed the corners of her lips, ready to explode.
The emperor doesn't want to be with the mud this time, whether it is Concubine Xian or Concubine Ning, she will definitely pay the price for the main envoy.
Fourteen died to save Fuqing, if she can't seek justice for Fourteen, and can't solve the troubles for Fuqing, she will not only be ashamed of being a mother, but also be a queen in vain.
Today, the emperor dared to be soft-hearted, so she fought with him.
The nervous queen suddenly noticed that someone touched her sleeve lightly, and when she looked sideways, it was Jiang who seemed to be standing behind her for some time.
Jiang seemed to give the queen a look.
The queen understood, silently took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked out.
Jiang seemed to withdraw.
At this time, everyone's attention was on Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, and they didn't care about the queen's departure.
Walking to the place where people were to be avoided, the queen asked softly, "What's the matter?" β
"Does the queen mother think that the little Deng Zi is between the two concubines?"
The queen sneered: "There is no wind and no waves, since the two of them have been found, who else will it be between them?" β
"And who do you think is most likely?"
The queen frowned: "It's hard to say." Concubine Xian is kind to Xiao Dengzi, and it is very likely that Xiao Dengzi was instructed by her in order to repay her kindness. And Concubine Ning is the master of Xiao Dengzi, and now Concubine Ning shows the attitude of treating Xiao Dengzi as an ordinary servant, but if there is a deeper relationship between them, who knows? Concubine Ning has the most convenient conditions to train Xiao Dengzi as a confidant without being known. β
Speaking of this, the queen asked: "Why do you ask this?" β
Jiang Yi said frankly: "There have been accidents in the palace one after another, innocent people have died one after another, and my daughter-in-law feels that the person who makes troubles is too hateful to continue to harm people with impunity." β
"You're right, you can't just leave it at that!"
"My daughter-in-law has a way to give it a try."
The queen was stunned: "What way?" β
"You first ask the second concubine to take a look at the fourteenth princess, and I'll talk to you in detail later......"
On Emperor Jingming's side, Concubine Ning was already annoyed: "The concubine didn't instruct Xiao Dengzi to kill the princess, if the emperor doesn't believe it, just give me three feet of white silk!" β
Concubine Xian smiled bitterly: "The concubine can't bear to step on an ant on weekdays, how can she kill someone, not to mention what is the benefit of killing the princess to the concubine?" If the emperor thinks that it was the concubine who did it, the concubine has nothing to say and can only be at your disposal. β
"You-" Emperor Jingming's face was gloomy.
Both of them are concubines who have followed him for decades, and of course those who make trouble should be killed, but how can he bear to attack the innocent.
The queen came over: "The two sisters said this, didn't it make the emperor embarrassed?" β
The second concubine looked at the queen at the same time.
The queen sighed lightly: "This palace really doesn't want to doubt any of the two sisters, if the two sisters have a clear conscience, go and send one to fourteen." The child has no biological mother, and now even she is gone, which is really pitiful. β
The queen's proposal stunned several people.
Emperor Jingming couldn't help but say, "Empressβ"
The queen flew over with an eye knife, and Emperor Jingming immediately stopped talking.
