Chapter 248: Confronting in Court (2)
Hao Yu was puzzled: "Then what the hell is going on?" Zhou promised to be pushed into the water by Lan Concubine's people, but Zhou promised to say it himself. ”
"This concubine is not deceiving!"
"Because it's not just the concubine who knows about this, Zhou Xu's cousin Lu Changzai knows, Qin Concubine and Liu Concubine know, and even Concubine Xian also knows."
Emperor Qingde's eyebrows were cold, and he turned his head to look at Meng Nanyan and saw her nodding, becoming more and more suspicious, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Hao Yu replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty's words, that day Zhou promised and Lu Changzai wanted to move the palace because of this matter, and asked for the virtuous concubine Niangniang, and it happened that several Niangniang were dining in the concubine's Zhongcui Palace that day, and they happened to hear the beginning and the end. ”
Hao Yu looked at Zhou Fangyao with a puzzled expression: "If this matter is fake...... And what is the reason why Zhou agreed to lie? ”
"Naturally, she wanted to take the opportunity to frame Lan Concubine and Lu Changzai." Liu Ruoxi interjected coldly.
"Saying that Lan Concubine pushed people into the water, she naturally wanted people to wronged Lan Concubine, and in order to save her from entering the water, Lu Chang, who was almost naked by the patrolling guards and had to hold her breath and hide under the water for half her life, I'm afraid this is your ultimate goal, right?"
Zhou Fangyao's face turned pale, "No, no, how could the concubine harm Sister Lu!" ”
"It's impossible!"
Concubine Liu sneered: "Then please ask Zhou to answer why you lied and said that it was Lan Concubine who pushed it into the water?" ”
"This ......"
The emperor's face became more and more heavy, and the hand holding the cup became bruised, and he pressed the edge of the teacup fiercely.
It was his favorite purple sand cup, and now the rim of the cup has been pinched and deformed by him.
After a long time, he said lightly, "Zhou promised, you don't have anything to say to me?" ”
Zhou Fangyao was so frightened that her face was pale, and the thing she was most afraid of was being exposed by this group of sluts.
Her mind was in a mess and she only said, "Concubine, concubine...... It is a fact that the concubine fell into the water, and the concubine's sister Lu Changzai can testify for the concubine! ”
Concubine Liu said coldly: "Your Majesty is not asking if anyone has testified for you to fall into the water, but why do you say that it is Concubine Lan who pushed you into the water?" ”
Zhou Fangyao was so panicked that the six gods were overwhelmed, and she said in a loud voice: "The concubine only saw a person who looked like a palace maid pushing the concubine into the water, and the concubine saw the appearance and body shape of the palace maid, very much like the palace maid who was waiting by Concubine Lan's side......"
"The palace maid who is waiting by the side of the main palace?" Concubine Lan was furious, "This palace can call all the minions of Chuxiu Palace to you to identify you now, do you dare to admit it?" ”
"Concubine...... The concubine just relied on a vague memory, and besides, so much time had passed, and it would not be good for the concubine to admit her mistake......" Zhou Fangyao's eyes flickered, and she was a little weak when she spoke.
Concubine Liu asked again: "Now the memory is blurry, but you resolutely insisted that it was the palace maid next to Concubine Lan, and said that the palace maid next to you heard a palace maid named Qiushuang say this with her own ears, and the palace felt very strange at that time."
You obviously lived in Chuxiu Palace at that time, and Concubine Lan was in Changchun Palace, with several palace corridors in between, and you were a show girl who had just been selected by the palace at that time.
I'm afraid that I haven't even been familiar with the road of the harem for a few months, how can I know the palace maid next to Concubine Lan? ”
"I ......"
Liu Concubine said again: "Is it difficult to answer this question when Zhou promises?" You are so ambiguous, it will make people think that you are trying to hide this matter and frame Concubine Xi. ”
Concubine Liu glanced at her, "Maybe there is no such thing as Concubine Xi stumbling at all, because this matter was directed and acted by you alone from the beginning, in order to get rid of Concubine Xi's mother, an insider." ”
"If that's the case, isn't your next target to be Hongu? Qin Concubine, or is it a virtuous concubine? ”
"No, no! Concubines don't dare! ”
Liu Ruoxi's words scared Zhou Fangyao trembling, and she said in a panic: "It's the concubine who is not good, the concubine shouldn't be cranky without finding out the truth, maybe it wasn't Lan Concubine's person who did it!" ”
Concubine Liu didn't mean to let her go at all, Zhou promised that this matter was a matter of the harem, so Liu Ruoxi was rarely respectful to the queen.
said bluntly: "Queen Mother, this week's promise does not match the preface, there is a suspicion of lying, and it is difficult for her words to testify." ”
The queen narrowed her eyes, thoughtful.
From her own point of view, although she doesn't like Hao Yu and wants to die immediately, now is not a good time to get rid of her.
In order to be able to get pregnant pills, she also specially planted people in Danding Pavilion, but after working for a long time, she got the news that only Concubine Xi could refine this pill.
She still has to keep Concubine Xi to refine medicine for her, so even if Hao Yu does this, she has to help her suppress it.
But now it seems that she is likely to be wronged, and this time it is much easier.
The queen asked: "Zhou promised, about your falling into the water, apart from Lu Changzai being able to testify for you, do you have any other evidence?" ”
Zhou Fangyao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "...... There is no other evidence. ”
At this time, Concubine Xian on the side suddenly reminded: "Queen Mother, the truth of Zhou's promise to fall into the water is important, but it is not as important as the imperial heir, and the concubine thinks that the matter of Concubine Lan's slippery tire should be dealt with first." ”
The queen pondered for a moment and agreed with Concubine Xian's opinion.
"Zhou Fangyao, what happened when Lan Concubine slipped the tire, did you see it clearly?"
Zhou Fangyao was drenched in cold sweat on her back, swallowing her saliva: "The incident happened suddenly, the scene was very chaotic, and the concubine only saw Bai Xuan's stumbling like a ...... of someone tripping."
"Zhou Fangyao, what do you mean by this!" When Bai Lianyue heard her words, her hairs stood on end in fright.
couldn't help but interject and said, "Zhou Fangyao, didn't you just say that Concubine Xi tripped me and caused Concubine Lan to slip the tire?" Now it's me stumbling! Tell me more clearly, have you seen it clearly! ”
"I didn't see it!" Zhou Fangyao suddenly yelled.
"What?" Bai Lianyue's face was full of horror.
Zhou Fangyao's face turned pale, and she trembled her lips and said, "I, the scene is too chaotic, I saw you stumbling as if you were tripping over something, and at the moment Concubine Xi was standing behind her, and she subconsciously thought ......"
"I was wrong...... It was Bai Xuanzhi who tripped and pushed Lan Concubine Niangniang! ”
"You! How can you talk nonsense?!! Bai Lianyue suddenly became anxious, "This is a major matter of murdering the emperor's heir, you can speak after you think clearly!" ”
"I ......" Zhou Fangyao suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the concubine is wrong!" It was the concubine who didn't see it clearly, so she blindly accused Concubine Xi Niangniang, and the concubine was also frightened at that time, thinking that it was what the concubine thought, and that Concubine Xi was wronged for no reason, and it was the concubine who was wrong! Concubines should be damned! ”
"The concubine can apologize to Concubine Xi! Concubine Xi is sorry! ”
The queen's eyes became cold when she heard this, and she said in a deep voice: "Zhou Fangyao, you are so bold, do you know that you almost killed Concubine Xi?" ”
"The concubine knows the mistake, the concubine knows the mistake!"
"Don't believe her words!" Bai Lianyue, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, "She lied!" She also accused Concubine Lan of pushing her into the water just now, and she was still quibbling after being exposed by Concubine Xi! ”
"How can such a liar believe her words!"
