In the Imperial Study Room, Xiao Zhaoyuan and Xuan Zhaorong were kneeling in the main hall, looking at the person sitting in the seat with fear, their cold eyes glaring over at them, their whole bodies could not help but tremble...
"You two are guilty!" He spoke coldly, his voice not loud, but full of majesty that was irresistible.
"I don't know what crime I am guilty of!" they both replied tremblingly at the same time. You can't admit it even to death. If you admit it, wouldn't your life be saved?
"It's really troublesome for my two beloved concubines to care so much about my health. I don't even know what kind of disease I am suffering from, but I don't expect my two beloved concubines to understand it so clearly!" He spoke coldly, but there was no expression at all.
"This... I don't know what the emperor is talking about..." Xuan Zhaorong suppressed the fear in his heart and replied unhurriedly. Xiao Zhaoyuan on the side had already turned pale with fear and was speechless.
Xuan Zhaorong glanced at Xiao Zhaoyuan, who looked pale. He was so frightened that he had no future. He thought with disdain in his heart.
"Oh? Do you really don't know? Or are you pretending not to know?" Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows and continued: "I don't want anyone to lie!"
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what your Majesty is talking about!" Xuan Zhaorong said calmly.
"Really?" Nangong Yi narrowed his eyes dangerously. He didn't expect Xuan Zhaorong to be so calm and collected. Then he sneered and said, "But someone heard the two concubines talking in the back garden. They actually sent people.
Go find Moon Grass, but I don’t know why you don’t admit it now!”
What? Someone heard her conversation with Xiao Zhaoyuan. It was impossible. Could it be that the emperor wanted to deceive her? Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xiao Zhaoyuan next to her kowtow in a panic and say: "The emperor is investigating clearly, I am a concubine."
I never said that!”
It will do bad things. Xiao Zhaoyuan, does he know what he is talking about? He glared at Xiao Zhaoyuan fiercely, and Xuan Zhaorong hurriedly interrupted: "I wonder who the emperor is talking about? I really didn't say this. I don't know why.
Someone wants to frame me!"
"Hmph..." Nangong Yi stood up angrily, and Nangong Yi said angrily: "It seems that Xuan Zhaorong won't shed tears until he sees the coffin!" I originally thought that if I admitted it, I would spare your lives, but now it seems...
...You are not worthy at all! I want to be fair to Eunuch Li: "Xuanjing Wangye!"
What? Prince Jing? I felt a chill in my heart... How could he hear our conversation? Xuan Zhaorong was thinking of countermeasures when he saw Nangong Jing walking in. He cupped his fists at Nangong Yi and said, "Brother, please see the emperor!"
"
"Jing, you should tell these two nobles what you heard?" Nangong Yi sat down slowly and spoke coldly.
"Yes." Nangong Jing said calmly: "My younger brother entered the palace today and was sitting behind the rockery in the back garden to rest. However, he heard Xuan Zhaorong and Xiao Zhaoyuan say that the emperor was seriously ill and needed moon grass to cure it.
He said that as long as Liu Mengmeng left, he would definitely die. Xiao Zhaoyuan also said that people had been arranged in the back mountain, and they were just waiting for Liu Mengmeng to go... and asked Xuan Zhaorong to wait for her good news!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhaoyuan said in horror: "Your Majesty, I didn't. I really didn't say anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xiao Zhaoyuan panicking and saying nothing, Nangong Yi sneered in his heart and said, "Since Xiao Zhaoyuan didn't say anything, how could he say to spare his life?"
At this time, Xuan Zhaorong hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, it is clear that the concubines did not say anything, but I don't know why the prince wants to frame us like this!"
Nangong Jing looked calm, cupped his fists and said, "Everything my brother said is true!"
Waving his hand, Nangong Yi said: "Take Yu'er to the palace!"
"Slave Yu'er meets the Emperor!" Yu'er slowly walked into the palace, knelt down and saluted.
"Yu'er, I ask you, did Xuan Zhaorong and Xiao Zhaoyuan ask you to tell Liu Mengmeng about the moon grass on purpose?" Nangong Yi took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what moon grass is!" Nangong Yi was startled and looked at Eunuch Li with dissatisfaction. Eunuch Li shivered with fright and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat. He said Yu'er so clearly, why is she still there?
He doesn't know whether to live or die. Doesn't this harm him?
"Oh? Yu'er, I know you have no choice but what kind of master deserves you to take the blame for them?" Nangong Yi's voice became softer and he said: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as Yu'er thought. You
What if there is something wrong? Your grandma outside the palace, just..." At this point, Nangong Yi stopped deliberately.
This...Grandma, but what if I admit it? Isn't it the same fate? Grandma, Yu'er is destined to be unable to take care of you in your old age...
Seeing Yu'er's face change slightly, Nangong Yi continued: "If Yu'er can tell the truth, I promise not only not to hold you responsible, but also to give you a house and land, and let you go out of the palace to take care of your elderly grandma..." But
Don't be ignorant...
"The Emperor means what he says?" Really? Can he really leave the palace and reunite with his grandma?
"I am the king of a country, so I naturally keep my word!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, my slave... I have indeed followed Xuan Zhaorong's instructions and deliberately told Miss Liu about the moon grass!" After saying this in one breath, I felt relieved. Even if I couldn't leave the palace, at least I wouldn't have to live for the rest of my life.
In self-blame...
He smiled with satisfaction, looked at Xuan Guirong, and said coldly: "I wonder if Xuan Zhaorong has anything else to say!?"
Xuan Zhaorong's face was already livid. He really didn't expect Yu'er, a bitch, to be so unreliable, but he spoke very calmly: "How can the emperor listen to the one-sided words of a palace maid? If you want to accuse me, why bother without words?"
Sighing heavily, Nangong Yi said: "I always wanted to give you a chance to tell the truth, but Xuan Zhaorong didn't cherish it. From this point of view, you can't blame me for being ruthless! Bring him here!"
