Chapter 8 The Events of the Year
Back then, the matter of the witch doll was simple and simple, and it was complicated and complicated. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ.
To put it simply, it is just one sentence, that is, the mastermind behind the scenes is not Ren Jieyu and Ren Qing, but Concubine Xiao Liwei.
Although Pear Ling only found some evidence and couldn't know all the ins and outs, it is estimated that these things are not much different from the truth.
Originally, Li Ling didn't plan to investigate this matter, the horizontal and vertical matter was just related to Xin Chongyi and Ren Jieyu, although the witch doll had her eight characters on it, but she never believed it. In the end, it was Concubine Liang who came forward to protect Ren Jieyu's family, so Li Ling originally suspected that Concubine Liang threatened Ren Jieyu's family, and let Ren Jieyu take the blame, which was a matter of Concubine Liang, so Li Ling decided to start investigating from Ren Jieyu's family.
In the affairs of the court, it is inconvenient for Li Ling to 'intervene', so let Li Jingzong investigate.
Sure enough, Ren Jieyu's father not only bought and sold official positions, but also embezzled a sum of money for disaster relief a few years ago, which was not a small amount.
With this incident, Li Ling basically decided that Concubine Liang wanted to frame Xin Chongyi, but she didn't frame Cheng, so she took advantage of Ren Jieyu's father's matter and found Ren Jieyu as a scapegoat.
But later Meng Jieyu told her that on the night of the Wanshou Festival, she saw Concubine Xiao and Ren Jieyu, who were still picking 'women' at the time, arguing, and the next day she saw Concubine Xiao and Concubine Liang together, and Concubine Xiao, who was a 'girl' at that time, was very disrespectful to Concubine Liang, and Concubine Liang did not punish Concubine Xiao.
This time, Li Ling had doubts about her previous speculation, but she never believed that a 'girl' could play with Xin Chongyi, Ren Jieyu, and Concubine Liang between applause, so she let this matter go.
It wasn't until now, when Concubine Xiao attacked her, that she slowly sent someone to investigate Concubine Xiao, and this past incident was turned over.
At that time, Concubine Xiao was still the lowest ranking 'girl', and she had never appeared in the harem, and she was also sick with a minor illness in three days and a major illness in five days on weekdays, and she was completely inconspicuous under the brilliance of Li Xiuyuan, Song Xiuyuan and others.
It is estimated that Concubine Xiao also knew that she and Xin Chongyi looked alike, maybe Concubine Xiao also knew about Li Qingge, so she chose to frame Xin Chongyi, as long as Xin Chongyi fell out of favor, wouldn't she have a chance? And after Xin Chongyi fell out of favor, Concubine Xiao began to be favored, which made Li Ling even more convinced of this.
She didn't believe that Concubine Xiao did all this before, there was a main reason, that is, Concubine Xiao and Xin Chongyi had not ended, why did she use such a trick that might set her body on fire? But now that Li Ling knows, that is because both of them look like Li Qingge, and Xin Chongyi is there, how can Concubine Xiao come out? The only way to let Xin Chongyi fall out of favor.
In the end, because of the matter of the witch doll, Xin Chongyi was demoted and grounded for half a year, and in this half year, Concubine Xiao climbed directly from a small 'girl' to Xiuyuan's position, and even captured the emperor's heart, even if Xin Chongyi lifted the grounding, she could no longer be favored.
When Concubine Xiao was doing this, she was ready to be 'exposed', so she had already found a substitute for the dead ghost, that was Ren Jieyu, so Meng Xiuyuan would see Concubine Xiao and Ren Jieyu arguing that night, it was estimated that Concubine Xiao was threatening Ren Jieyu, and at first it was estimated that Ren Jieyu did not agree, so at first Ren Jieyu did not admit guilt, and later Ren Jieyu was 'forced' by Concubine Xiao to have no choice, and after Concubine Xiao promised to save her family's life, Ren Jieyu still agreed.
As for how Concubine Xiao kept Ren Jieyu's family, it has something to do with Concubine Liang, didn't Meng Xiuyuan say that she saw Concubine Xiao and Concubine Liang early the next morning.
In the past, Li Ling didn't understand why Concubine Xiao was so disrespectful to Concubine Liang, so she didn't doubt the relationship between Concubine Liang and Concubine Xiao. But now Li Ling understands that Concubine Liang was completely threatened by Concubine Xiao! Concubine Xiao probably knew the identity of Concubine Liang's witch', after all, she could know, and it was not impossible for Concubine Xiao to know.
Concubine Liang's identity as a witch is her biggest flaw, so Concubine Liang was eaten to death by Concubine Xiao, even if Concubine Xiao was disrespectful to her, she had no choice, who let Concubine Xiao pinch her life's 'door'?! Therefore, Concubine Liang had to obey Concubine Xiao and come forward to intercede, saving the lives of Ren Jieyu's family!
"Why did Concubine Xiao deal with me?" Although Xin Chongyi had believed most of Liling's words, she still had reservations.
Li Ling knew that Xin Chongyi couldn't believe her so quickly, but it didn't matter, what she said was true, Xin Chongyi was not stupid, she would be able to tell the difference, and when she heard Xin Chongyi ask Concubine Xiao about the purpose of dealing with her, Li Ling said that she and Concubine Xiao looked like the 'girl' in the emperor's heart.
Xin Chongyi was silent, she knew that if she and Concubine Xiao looked like the person in the emperor's heart, then Concubine Xiao might indeed frame her in order to stand out. Xin Chongyi knew that what Li Ling said should be true, when Concubine An Guifei sent her to the palace to compete for favor, she was still thinking, why could Concubine An Guifei ensure that she could be favored? Now that I think about it, Concubine An must also know that she looks like the person that the emperor has in mind, so she can be sure that she can be favored when she enters the palace.
"What do you want me to do?" Xin Chongyi's gaze was a little cold, she knew that Li Ling told her the truth back then, but she just wanted to use her.
"After you lived in Lan Yixuan, you didn't suffer less from Concubine Xiao, right?" Li Ling was not in a hurry to say what she wanted Xin Chongyi to do.
"All this is still thanks to the mother, didn't the mother forget?" Xin Chongyi felt that she was about to uncontrollably want to scold, the reason why she lived in Lan Yixuan was completely because of the good things done by Concubine Xi, and Concubine Xi was embarrassed to mention it?!
"It's not Hongu who makes you suffer!"
"Although Concubine Xiao made me suffer a little, but after all, I didn't want my life, why would you think that I would take the risk to help you deal with Concubine Xiao?" Xin Chongyi was angry, she never thought that Concubine Xi was like this...... She couldn't find an adjective.
"When Concubine Xiao was still a 'woman', she dared to frame you, if it weren't for the palace to speak for you, not only you, but also your nine clans would be gone." Li Ling's tone was slightly sarcastic, she didn't know what to say about Xin Chongyi's naïve thoughts, "Now that Concubine Xiao is in the position of concubine, if she wants to deal with you, it is no different from stepping on an ant to death, the reason why she didn't deal with you only made you suffer a little, but because she doesn't have a little horn of you now, when she frees her hand, do you think you have the ability to parry?" ”
Xin Chongyi was silent.
Li Ling continued: "Haven't you already understood the principle of striking first to be strong in Yu Lingyi's matter? ”
Liling's voice was soft and soft, and it was particularly soft at night: "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, doesn't Xin Chongyi want to be that kind of saint, repay grievances with virtue, and hope to influence Concubine Xiao, right?" ”
Xin Chongyi smiled bitterly, of course she is not a saint, and it is impossible for her to repay her grievances with virtue, not to mention that even if she repays her grievances with virtue, Concubine Xiao may not let her go.
After a long while, Xin Chongyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly and heavily to the pear ling.
