Chapter Sixty-Eight: Seeing each other in peace and quiet
"The slave has never done this, Niang Niang Mingjian!" When Yingjuan heard this, she hurriedly denied it, how could she admit such a thing, and she had never done it.
"Do you have proof?" The queen looked at Yingjuan.
Yingjuan broke out in a cold sweat in a panic, and kept thinking about whether she had contact with Xiao Pingzi in her mind.
"Niangniang, the last time the slave maid had contact with Xiao Pingzi was a month ago, when she was delivering something to Concubine De, she met him at the door." Yingjuan recalled carefully.
"If you say so, is that nothing?"
"That's true, Niang Mingjian."
"Niangniang, Min Meiren asks to see." Suddenly, a palace person came to report, saying that Min Meiren had an urgent matter to see the queen.
"Minmi?" The queen didn't remember who it was for a while, but she still reminded her in a whisper before remembering.
"Let her in."
Min Meiren lowered her head and followed the palace people in, and when she saw the queen, she immediately knelt down to say goodbye.
"Queen Mother, Aunt Yingjuan will never do this."
The queen's eyes changed, staring at Min Meiren who had just come in: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Min Meiren gritted her teeth, and then said it ruthlessly.
"Because, Aunt Yingjuan is taking the blame for the concubine."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, because no one thought that it was Minmeiren who did it.
"Queen Mother, what Min Meiren said is not true, the slave maid and she don't know each other, how can you take the blame?" Yingjuan's face changed instantly, and her tone became tougher.
But when others heard it, they felt that something was wrong.
It seems that Yingjuan, who has not admitted it just now, has not even thrown the charges out.
"Min Meiren, you said you did it, but is there any evidence?" The queen didn't care about Yingjuan's words, she got up and walked a few words to Min Meiren.
The queen seems to be very interested in this short-lived beauty, why does she have such a big grudge against Concubine De.
"The concubine didn't think about harming people, she just wanted Concubine De to get better slowly, and she couldn't serve the emperor." Min Meiren's voice was not loud, but she also explained why.
"Oh? But what did Concubine De do? It was Ming Rong who interjected, and she looked at the increasingly dramatic scene and began to ask.
"The concubine was born as a palace maid, and she was fortunate to be selected into the music workshop, and was favored by the master to teach dance clothes, and she was fortunate to enter the harem when she danced at the banquet that year." Min Meiren's voice choked as she spoke.
"I thought it was a good day, but I didn't want to meet Concubine De that day, she said that the concubine was a lowly person and was not worthy of being by the emperor's side, and asked the concubine to copy the palace rules a hundred times, and only after copying it was allowed to come out, but the concubine couldn't write......"
said a lot of babbled babbles, and these patches together also let the queen and Ming Rong know why Concubine De was framed.
This temperament is too flamboyant, and I don't know how Zhennanhou raised such a daughter.
"Okay, let's talk about how you hurt Concubine De."
The queen didn't want to listen to Min Meiren's crying, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Niangniang, it's all the slave's fault, and it has nothing to do with Min Meiren!" Suddenly, Yingjuan interjected, and the urgency of the words, as soon as she heard it, she knew that she was taking the blame.
Ming Rong saw that the queen wanted to reprimand, so she spoke first: "Yingjuan, why did you refuse to admit it just now, and now you are in a hurry to confess?" ”
"Guifei Niangniang, I thought there was no evidence just now, but now I feel that I can't hide it anymore, and there is no need to hide it anymore." As Yingjuan spoke, she looked back at Min Meiren.
I saw Min Meiren shaking her head with tears in her eyes: "It's not like this, why is Xiao Pingzi talking about you?" ”
It seems that things are still turning around, and there seems to be some involvement between the two.
Ming Rong suddenly remembered something: "Min Meiren, what are you calling?" But it's a new gift to the palace? ”
As soon as she heard this, Yingjuan suddenly had a touch, raised her head suddenly, and quickly lowered her head.
"The concubine called Yingshuang, and she didn't hide it from the two mothers, Yingjuan is the sister of the concubine, but she has been separated since she was a child, not in the same place, and others don't know." Min Mito was visibly relieved when she said this.
There are many names changed in this palace, and for a while, people didn't expect that these two people would be sisters.
"My sister doesn't have to cover it up for me anymore, if it's wrong, it's wrong, and I must not drag my sister down anymore."
Min Meiren seems to have made up her mind that she must not drag Yingjuan down anymore.
"Queen Mother, the concubine turned herself in today, just to ask the mother to be merciful, don't hold my sister responsible." After Min Meiren finished speaking, she kowtowed again and again.
"That's it, since the water has come out, I won't investigate others, but why did Xiao Pingzi say Yingjuan's name?" The queen still has this matter unknown.
"This is made by the slave maid, last time the beauty inadvertently asked me if the sick person only took half of the medicine, would it be better?" Yingjuan sighed.
"The slave maid felt that something was wrong, so she checked it privately, and found that the beauty was in contact with Xiao Pingzi, and the slave and maid felt that it was inappropriate, and saw Xiao Pingzi again, so that if he was a failure, just push it on me, don't affect the beauty."
The two sisters are in deep love, but it's a pity.
"So you don't report it?" Ming Rong added a sentence leisurely beside her.
"I also asked the mother to spare the beauty, and the source of this matter was also the beginning of what the slave said."
The queen listened to this, although she pitied the two sisters, but the palace rules were there, and even she couldn't save her.
"The two of you, one of you is shielding, and the other is harming Concubine De, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"
Min Mei and Yingjuan didn't dare to reply, so they could only kowtow and ask for forgiveness.
"However, seeing that the two of you confessed, you should be punished, but you will not die."
The queen thought about it, after all, Concubine De was fine, and there was no need to carry the killing.
"Min Meiren stripped her title, was demoted to changing clothes, moved to a quiet and secluded house, and couldn't come out without a call."
Min Meiren didn't expect that she would be able to save her life, from the moment she heard that her sister was summoned by the queen, she felt that something was wrong, and then she thought about Xiao Pingzi's matter and felt that something was wrong.
I was ready to apologize for my sins with death and let my sister survive.
"As for Yingjuan, let's send it to the Huanyi Bureau."
Yingjuan thanked her again and again, and it was the best ending for her sisters to survive.
"Sister Queen, I have an idea, since they are sisters, then Yingjuan will go to a quiet residence with them."
Hearing this, both sisters were a little happy, if the queen really agreed, then the sisters would be able to see each other for the rest of their lives.
Sure enough, the queen nodded after hearing this, and did not refute Ming Rong.
This matter was settled, and on Concubine De's side, the queen specially asked Pingxi to go over and report it.
Ming Rong saw that the matter was dealt with, and then left.
Recently, a lot of things have happened in the palace about Concubine De, and it seems that in a short period of time, Concubine De has offended many people.
As for Qingmeiren, she is waiting for the arrival of the imperial doctor, if there is good news, then she must take good care of her child.
