Liang Huanqing glanced at Lu Huiling and said nothing. He turned to look at Xia Rongxin, nodded and said, "Jiang Yi... committed suicide."

As she said that, she bent her knees and hugged the quilt into a ball, buried her head in her knees and sobbed.

Liang Huanqing thought of Jiang Yi's appearance before she died. She was still so young, in her teens, and wanted to excuse Liang Huanqing and voluntarily give up her life just to save her master.

Qi Wangshu couldn't help but asked anxiously: "How could Jiang Yi commit suicide? She is so cheerful and optimistic. As long as I bring my mother and concubine here, you will definitely come out alive. Why did she commit suicide?"

Xia Rongxin's eyes became darker and darker. In this way, Liang Huanqing was found guilty of beating Lu Huiling. However, Lu Huiling was provocative at most and did not really pose a threat to Jiang Yi's life. It seems that the emperor will still favor Lu Huiling and settle the matter.

.

Liang Huanqing cried and shook her head and said: "It's Lu Huiling...It's Lu Huiling..."

Hearing her sobbing and accusing Lu Huiling, the hearts of everyone present were lifted.

"You are talking nonsense! I have never been out of the main hall! I have never been to the side hall! How to kill Jiang Yi?! You just said that Jiang Yi committed suicide! Why are you changing your story now?!" Lu Huiling hurriedly pointed at Liang Huanqing and scolded

, she turned to look at Qi Bingyu, "Your Majesty, I really don't have any concubines!"

Now Lu Huiling is really panicked. She is not worried about others misunderstanding her, but she did not do this, so she is afraid that Qi Bingyu will change her mind.

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. We are all here. Speak slowly." When Xia Rongxin heard Liang Huanqing say it was Lu Huiling, she quickly stepped forward to comfort her and wanted her to tell her.

Liang Huanqing raised his head and looked at Lu Huiling, his eyes turned red from crying and said: "Lu Huiling asked people to come to the side hall to force Jiang Yi to death. If Jiang Yi didn't obey, he wanted to kill me. Jiang Yi killed me in order to save me."

In the side hall..."

"I don't have it! I don't have it! Your Majesty, I really don't have it!" Lu Huiling was so frightened that she knelt down next to Qi Bingyu and begged, "Your Majesty, you have to believe that I have it, I really don't have it. Liang Huanqing said this at all.

There is no basis for it. I just said that I did not kill Jiang Yi. Naturally, I wanted to make sure that Jiang Yi was alive and well before I said that. I have no reason to kill her!"

"You said at the beginning that you would cut Jiang Yi's body into thousands of pieces and throw it into a mass grave. You said this so well. Why didn't you force Jiang Yi to death?" Xia Rongxin stood up and pointed at Lu Huiling and scolded,

"I think you must have had some misunderstanding with Princess Jing, and you did this deliberately. You want to embarrass Princess Jing and let the person she wants to save die in front of you, so as to satisfy your inner pleasure!"

"I don't have my concubine!" Lu Huiling tugged on the corner of Qi Bingyu's clothes, looked up at Qi Bingyu, and begged, "Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense, I really don't have my concubine!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Xia Rongxin and said: "Mei Guifei just doesn't like me and wants to get rid of me! There's no need to accuse me of it! I'm afraid that my concubine will put such charges on my head."

Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart!”

Lu Huiling said what was not enough, and pointed to Liang Huanqing and said: "Since Princess Jing said that I sent people to force Jiang Yi to death, then you should identify who it is! I asked everyone in Minghua Hall to stand with you

In front of me! Tell me clearly who it is!

I know that it is wrong to detain the princess and her maid without permission, but Princess Jing, you can’t just accuse me with empty words! I admit that I punished Jiang Yi corporally and also imprisoned you. This is my fault. I admit it.

, but you want to blame Jiang Yi’s death on me, and I will not admit that I have never done anything!”

Qi Wangshu was worried that Lu Huiling would attack Liang Huanqing, so he stood in front of Liang Huanqing and hugged her. Liang Huanqing huddled in Qi Wangshu's arms and sobbed. She pointed at Lu Huiling and said, "You were the one who forced Jiang Yi to death.

It's you, you killed Jiang Yi..."

"Jiang Yi obviously committed suicide! How could I be the one who killed him? Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Huiling stood up anxiously and walked towards Liang Huanqing. When he reached her, he reached out and pulled her, "Go to the side hall and have a good look.

Look! There are clearly impact marks on the wall, Jiang Yi obviously committed suicide! It has nothing to do with me!"

By the end, Lu Huiling was a little hysterical.

"Don't touch her!" Qi Wangshu pushed Lu Huiling away, and Qingyin also stood in front of them, preventing Lu Huiling from getting close to them.

"If Jiang Yi didn't die, you would kill me. You used me to threaten Jiang Yi and make her commit suicide!" Liang Huanqing pointed at Lu Huiling and cried, "You didn't want Jiang Yi to live from the beginning when you captured her.

You are just taking revenge on me for what happened before!"

Lu Huiling's expression changed drastically when she heard this. She was worried that Liang Huanqing would tell her secret about her love for Qi Jingqin.

"That's enough!" Qi Bingyu yelled angrily, frowning as he looked at their commotion, "Since we can't explain why Jiang Yi committed suicide, let's just leave it like this! For the sake of a maid, several masters made such a fuss.

What a decent look you have!"

When Lu Huiling heard this, she quickly knelt down again. She felt at ease in her heart. Qi Bingyu was still on her side after all. He was worried that Liang Huanqing and the others would embarrass Lu Huiling again, so he tried to calm things down.

"Your Majesty, it is not a pity that Jiang Yi died, but Princess Jing was still frightened because of this incident. This will always be Concubine Ming's fault. If she is not punished, how can she quell public anger?" Xia Rongxin saw that Qi Bingyu wanted to replace Lu again.

Hui Ling excused herself, feeling somewhat unwilling to do so.

"Where's the anger?!" Qi Bingyu looked at Xia Rongxin and questioned.

Seeing that the emperor has already said this, who dares to say more?

"Father!" Qi Wangshu stood up, walked to Qi Bingyu and knelt down, "My son is dissatisfied!"

"Why are you dissatisfied?" Qi Bingyu asked with a frown.

"It is said that state-owned legal families have family rules, and there is no rule without rules. Since Concubine Ming is at fault in this matter, and Concubine Jing is the victim, both of them must be punished and appeased, and they must be handled properly. As Jiang Yi is the princess's guard of honor, how can she

Can you kill Minghuatang for no reason?" Qi Wangshu raised his head and looked directly into Qi Bingyu's eyes.

Qi Wangshu has never been afraid of these things. She is the only princess, one of the few royal nobles, and the emperor's biological flesh and blood. Even if she is ignored and ignored, the fact that she is a princess cannot be changed, which is why she never

The reason for speaking in a roundabout way.

Qi Bingyu looked at Qi Wangshu and was silent for a long time, but Qi Wangshu also kept looking at Qi Bingyu, their eyes competing with each other. Qi Wangshu was not afraid of danger, she was stubborn and refused to give in no matter what.

In the end, Qi Bingyu took a step back and said: "The state-owned legal family has family rules. Without rules, there is no rule. In this case, the concubine Ming was fined with a month's confinement in Minghua Hall to reflect, and a month's salary, without my permission,

Don't go even half a step outside Minghua Hall! Give Prince Jing's palace pearls, jade, gems, and gold to show his comfort. In addition, Jiang Yi is buried with the rites of a first-class female official to show his comfort."

Lu Huiling thought that this would be great, so she knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

Although Qi Wangshu was dissatisfied with her father's actions, she managed to get some rewards for Liang Huanqing, so that she would not suffer such a big injustice for no reason. She turned around to help Liang Huanqing get up to express her gratitude.

Liang Huanqing was helped to his feet by Qi Wangshu and Qing Yin, and then Shi Ran knelt down and said: "My son is willing to donate thousands of taels of pearls, jade, gems, and gold to the national treasury to relieve the shortage of food and grass for the frontline war."

Qi Bingyu looked at Liang Huanqing who was kneeling on the ground and bowing in salute. He felt uncomfortable for a moment. He was silent for a while, then said: "It's up to you." Then he walked away with a puff of sleeves.

After the emperor left, Xia Rongxin arranged for a soft sedan to come over to pick up Liang Huanqing.

The sedan stopped at the entrance of Minghua Hall. Yun Xi and Qingyin helped Liang Huanqing walk to the sedan. When passing by the courtyard of Minghua Hall, Jiang Yi had already been carried away, and the blood stains where they lay just now were still there.

On the ground, Liang Huanqing saw her, and tears flowed out unknowingly.

Qi Wangshu saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't cry, please forgive me and accept the change."

Liang Huanqing naturally understood this truth. There is no resurrection after death, but when she thought of Jiang Yi smiling and hitting the wall, it was like a knife piercing her heart deeply. For a moment, she seemed to have fallen into the abyss of darkness.

I couldn't breathe, couldn't touch the ground, just kept rising and falling.

Yun Xi helped Xia Rongxin get on the sedan chair. It was already late at night. Xia Rongxin felt tired, so she gave a few instructions and went back to Yichun Palace. Qi Wangshu also promised to take good care of Liang Huanqing.

Qingyin helped Liang Huanqing to walk to the soft sedan, and suddenly found a palace maid kneeling behind the stone pillar of Minghua Hall. You really couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully.

As soon as the palace maid saw Princess Wangshu and Princess Jing, she rushed out and said, "My maid, Xiaolian, pays homage to the princess, and pays homage to the princess."

Xiaolian's appearance shocked them all. Qi Wangshu hurriedly stood in front of Liang Huanqing. After listening to her salute, he looked at her carefully: "Xiaolian?"

Xiaolian raised her head and glanced at Qi Wangshu, which made it easier for Qi Wangshu to look at her.

It wasn't until Qi Wangshu saw Xiaolian's whole face that he suddenly realized that she was the palace maid who was on duty in the imperial garden before: "It turns out to be you. What are you doing here so late?"

Xiaolian first kowtowed to Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing, then took out a piece of jade from her arms, lowered her head and said: "I am guilty. When Miss Jiang Yi was looking for jade, I picked it up, but I am greedy."

Nian did not return it to Miss Jiang Yi, but even pointed out a way to her at will... I thought about it and couldn't live up to the princess's kindness to me. I heard that the princess and the princess were in Minghua Hall, so I came here to wait."

When Liang Huanqing saw this piece of jade, she seemed to see Jiang Yi wearing this piece of jade and jumping around every day. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, picked up the piece of jade, rubbed it with both hands, and held the jade in her arms.
