Concubine Qing stepped back several steps in fright, and Guiren Xia did not dare to step forward. However, Xue Ling suddenly stood up, pointed at them and said: "It's you, it's you... you killed sister Xianya! It's not me, it's not me.
...Don't come to me!" She suddenly pointed at the crowd behind Concubine Qing and said: "And you, you, you... you are the ones who killed Xianya, it's none of my business! It's none of my business!"
The concubines watching behind Concubine Qing backed away one after another. They were too frightened to speak. Concubine Qing forced herself to calm down and said angrily: "Yang Changzai is crazy! Someone, tie her up and put her in a violent room!"
Among the palace attendants brought by Concubine Qing were two young eunuchs. After receiving the order, they immediately stepped forward to tie up Xue Ling and stuffed something in her mouth.
Hua Zhi begged: "Concubine Qing, Xueling was just frightened, she is not crazy, please don't put her in a violent room!"
Concubine Qing refused to pay attention to her, but Concubine Fu frowned and said: "There is something fishy going on. Concubine Qing cannot act so rashly. In my opinion, it is better to ask the Queen for instructions first before making any judgment."
Concubine Qing glanced at her and said coldly: "The Empress is not feeling well, why bother her with such a trivial matter? It's better to let the Empress rest in peace. Concubine Fu, please stop meddling in other people's business! Put Yang Changzai in prison."
Room, let her wake up! Don't talk nonsense here in broad daylight!"
Concubine Fu stepped forward without fear and said to Concubine Qing: "This matter is of great importance. I would like to advise Concubine Qing not to make the decision without authorization. Although the Queen's body is against the rules, she did not say that she cannot handle official affairs."
, Why does Concubine Qing have to overstep her authority?"
Concubine Qing was furious, pointed at Concubine Fu and cursed: "I have never known Concubine Fu that you are such a sharp-tongued person! What? You want to stand out, thinking that with the support of the Queen Mother, you will have trouble with me?
"
Concubine Fu did not flinch, but just lowered her eyes and said: "I dare not quarrel with Concubine Qing, but after listening to what Yang Changzai said, I really feel that the matter is serious, and it probably involves the poisoning of the deceased Concubine Rong.
So please don’t judge rashly.”
Concubine Qing opened her eyes angrily, gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "Yang Changzai is obviously crazy when she looks like this, how can her words be trusted? Besides, Concubine Rong was poisoned by Dr. Chen. This has long been concluded.
The emperor issued the imperial edict with his own eyes, how dare you even question the emperor's edict!"
She waved her hand, and the two eunuchs tied up Yang Changzai and were about to drag him away, but Concubine Fu still stood there and refused to let her go. After all, she was a concubine of the emperor's palace and a member of the Queen Mother's family, so the two young eunuchs
I really didn't dare to rush, so I had to stop and look at Concubine Qing.
Fu Concubine has always been gentle and never blushed with others, but now she dared to confront Concubine Qing. Others were stunned and felt sorry for Xue Ling, but she did not dare to openly resist Concubine Qing. Seeing Concubine Fu standing next to Xue Ling
He quickly stepped forward and stood next to Concubine Fu, mustering up the courage to look at Concubine Qing without showing any signs of weakness.
Concubine Qing was extremely angry, knowing that there would be no benefit in continuing the stalemate, but Concubine Fu and Pang Guiren were not afraid of her intimidation, and were anxious and angry at the moment.
Concubine Fu said leisurely: "Just now, Concubine Qing said that Concubine Rong was poisoned by Imperial Physician Chen. I have a question and want to ask Concubine Qing for advice. Concubine Rong and Imperial Physician Chen have a grudge. Why did an imperial physician from an imperial hospital poison her?"
What about killing the concubines? Could it be that you were instigated by others?"
Concubine Fu did not know the inside story. The other concubines also thought that Dr. Chen poisoned Xian Ya. Although they felt very strange, they did not dare to say it openly. Now Concubine Fu boldly expressed their speculations and looked at the nervous Concubine Qing.
Concubine Qing was stunned. She knew the truth, but she couldn't argue with her. She looked at Concubine Fu coldly and said, "I also find it very strange. Why did Mrs. Chen poison Concubine Rong when she was so good? Is it because someone is jealous of Concubine Rong?" Did the concubine steal her own limelight and bribe the imperial doctor to poison her?"
Concubine Fu's face changed drastically. At that time, she was extremely favored, but after Concubine Rong became favored, she was gradually left out. The implication of Concubine Qing's words was that she was jealous of Concubine Rong, so she bribed the imperial doctor to poison her, and she immediately said angrily: "No." speak out
Hua Zhi had long believed that Concubine Qing was behind the scenes. When she was framed, it was most likely her. Even if it wasn't her, it was inseparable from her cousin Xia Guiren!
Concubine Fu helped Xue Ling, but was beaten down by her. Hua Zhi ignored her own words and said angrily: "Since Concubine Qing also suspects that someone bribed the imperial doctor, why not take Xueling to the Empress and invite the Empress It’s better to judge!”
Naturally, Concubine Qing would not allow Xue Ling to see the Queen like this, so she said, "Yang Changzai has lost his mind and gone crazy. Going to Fengchen Palace like this will probably scare the Queen!"
The two sides refused to give in, and it was quiet on the surface but tense. I don't know how much time passed, maybe it was just a moment, and the situation was at a stalemate. But by chance, Chun'er brought Dr. Sun over and asked pretending to be surprised: "What are the masters doing here? ?”
Concubine Fu and Guiren Pang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Chun'er was the queen's personal maid, and Concubine Qing did not dare to offend her, so she had no choice but to say: "Yang Changzai is ill, and I was about to send her back to the palace, but something unexpected happened. I haven’t even had time to report to the Queen since Miss Chun’er is here, so please tell the Queen!”
Chun'er was not annoyed after hearing this, and smiled and said: "But what a coincidence, as soon as you left, the Queen Mother said that Yang Changzai was not feeling well, and he didn't know whether to ask for an imperial doctor or not. Imperial Physician Sun was taking pulse in Fengchen Palace. So he asked his servant to take Imperial Physician Sun to Jingyi Palace to show Yang Changzai. Unexpectedly, he met his servant here. Then Pang Gui and Yang Changzai went back to Jingyi Palace! Eh? Why is Yang Changzai like this? You guys Which palace are these two dog slaves from? How brave! How dare you treat Chang Zai like this and not let her go!"
The two eunuchs looked at Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing then signaled them to let go. How about the Lord return to the palace and ask Dr. Sun to take a look at you?"
Xueling still murmured: "It's not me, it's not me..."
Hua Zhi felt distressed and stepped forward to support her and said: "I know it's not you, but someone framed you. Xueling, can we go back?"
Xue Ling nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, let's go back, Hua Zhi, you believe me, right? I really don't want to harm sister Xianya, she is so good to me, how could I harm her? It's all them, they …”
Hua Zhi shed tears, supported her tightly, and nodded to Chun'er. Chun'er first asked Imperial Physician Sun to follow them and then said to everyone: "Masters, please come back. The Queen will have her own judgment on this matter."
Everyone gradually dispersed, but Chun'er called Concubine Qing, first saluted, and then said with a smile: "I seem to remember that Concubine Qing's power to co-manage the Sixth Palace was long ago taken back by the Emperor." She His tone was extremely rude, and Xia Guiren showed dissatisfaction on his face after hearing this.
Concubine Qing's face froze and she could only say: "Yes, but I just said that what happened today was indeed unexpected, so I didn't inform the Queen in time."
