Yinzhen has always been suspicious, so how could Nala's actions just now not arouse his suspicion, especially at this moment, just like what Concubine Qin said just now, Nala seems to deliberately not want Ping'er to continue talking.
Nala's heart was even more panicked than before. She tried hard to control the expression on her face, lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, I think this Ping'er is good at stirring up trouble, and few words coming out of her mouth are credible.
Yes, that’s why I don’t want her to talk too much and taint the emperor’s ears.”
"It doesn't matter." Yinzhen's words shattered the last bit of hope in Nala's heart. After agreeing uneasily, he said to Ping'er: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Your Majesty and I are listening.
, but if I find out that you have made a false statement, I will not forgive you lightly!"
Ping'er, who was already extremely frightened, was even more frightened when she heard this and couldn't say a complete sentence. Concubine Qin walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, just tell me what you know.
But just like what the Queen said just now, you can’t make false promises, only in this way can you have vitality, do you understand?”
"My slave knows." Ping'er took a deep breath to calm herself down. She knew very well what Nala's and Taifei Qin's words meant, and she also knew that the next words would affect her own survival.
She kowtowed to Yinzhen and said: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. In fact, since I returned to Beijing, I have taken the initiative to mention this incident to anyone. It was Eunuch Ning who sent me clothes and kept asking me about Concubine Xi and her relationship.
Guo said that the Queen was very interested in what happened on the way to the Prince, and also said that the Queen had given the slave as a gift.
I have such precious clothes. I should repay my kindness. I was forced to tell the story. After that, Eunuch Ning asked me to tell the story in front of the emperor. He also said...
He said that he asked his slaves to discredit the relationship between Concubine Xi and Prince Guo, so that the emperor would think that the two of them had an affair."
Hearing this, Nala could not sit still. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Ping'er and shouted: "Dare to defy my maid, I have no grudge against you. How dare you slander me like this? What are your intentions!"
"
Concubine Qin glanced at Nala, who was turning pale, and said calmly: "Your Majesty also said that Ping'er has no grudges against her. If this is not the case, why is she slandering your Majesty?"
Nala said coldly: "How do I know what her intentions are? Maybe she was instigated by someone else."
Concubine Qin did not continue talking to her, but bowed to the gloomy-looking Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I have seen that the clothes given to Ping'er by the Queen were tribute from Suzhou Weaving Mansion.
The material is of the highest quality, not to mention a slave, even I don’t have many, but the Queen just happened to reward Ping’er with a girl, even if it’s fate, she wouldn’t reward such a precious material.”
Nala glanced at Yinzhen secretly, and when she was thinking about how to defend herself, Xiao Ningzi knelt down and said: "To concubine Qi, the material was chosen by the slave for Ping'er. The master did not know about it, and the slave did not
I didn’t know that the material was so valuable. If I knew, I would never dare to reward Ping’er privately.”
Concubine Qin sneered and said, "Eunuch Ning has been in the palace for many years, and he serves the Queen. How can he not tell the quality of the ingredients?"
Xiao Ningzi didn't say anything about Concubine Qin, but just lowered her head and said: "Everything about the materials is my fault, but I never asked Ping'er anything about Concubine Xi and Prince Guo. It was Ping'er who did it herself.
What the slave said
, and also said that she had always hated Concubine Xi, saying that she had worked hard all the way, but in the end she was still just a slave serving others. She asked the slave to say a few nice words for her in front of the Queen, so that the Queen could reward her with a better one.
future."
It must be said that Xiao Ningzi's reaction was quick. At this moment, he thought of a way to deal with it and put all the blame on Ping'er.
Ping'er said excitedly: "You're talking nonsense. It's obviously you who encouraged me to say these things. You also said that as long as I promise to say these things in front of the emperor, you will let me stay with Prince Guo and become a concubine!"
Xiao Ningzi's mind changed and she said: "What you said is even more ridiculous. What is the identity of Prince Guo? He is a nobleman of the emperor, a son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson. Even the princess who has no serious status must come from a good family and have an innocent family background."
Qualified, given your status
, How could I be the concubine of Fujin? How could the Empress make such a promise? In my opinion, all this is clearly nonsense from you. Hurry up and tell the truth. Who taught you these words? Why did you frame the Empress?
What's the purpose?"
"I didn't! What I said is all the truth!" Ping'er was so excited that she even forgot about calling herself slave. She kept shouting and tried hard to prove what she said.
Such shouting fell silent after Yinzhen raised his hand. For a long time, he stared at Ping'er and said, "You said that all this was the Queen's fault. Do you know why she did this?"
Ping'er said tremblingly: "When I returned to the emperor, Eunuch Ning said that Concubine Xi was very disrespectful to the Queen. She didn't take her seriously and made the Queen angry at every turn. The Queen was afraid that if she continued like this, she would lose her place in the future.
There is no place left, so I want to deal with Concubine Xi."
"Queen..." As soon as Yinzhen turned his attention to Nala, the latter immediately knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. This girl is just telling lies and deliberately defrauding my concubine. Concubine Xi has always treated
I am respectful. Although I am not a sister, I am as close as a sister. How could I do something to my own sister? I would like to ask Your Majesty to enlighten me!"
On the other side, under the look of Concubine Qin, Ping'er said eagerly: "Your Majesty, I did not lie. Every word I said was said by Eunuch Ning himself. The Queen wants to get rid of Concubine Xi to prevent her from being in front of her all the time.
It’s getting in the way.”
Xiao Ningzi said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, my servant never said these treacherous words. I was just ordered to send the clothes I had made that day. At the same time, I listened to her chatting a few words. When I came back, I felt fresh and told the story to my master.
If I had known that such a big thing would happen, I would not have dared to kill this slave."
Ping'er knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, every word that slave said is true. I admitted that I really agreed to them with my heart at that time, but after thinking about it, I came from a poor family. If it hadn't been for Concubine Xi who bought the slave
He took the slave with him, and later took the slave out of Jungar. The slave didn’t know what would happen to him. Based on this, the slave
You shouldn't betray Concubine Xi, otherwise you will be worse than a pig or a dog. Therefore, when the emperor summons your slave to the palace, I will be ready to tell the truth." Without waiting for others to speak, she added: "I know that people speak lightly, but I
There is really no lie, and besides, lying does no good to the slave at all, so why should the slave take the risk to do so!"
