Thinking of this, he said: "Hongying, do you dare to say these words again in front of the emperor?"
Hongying rolled her eyes and said: "As long as the boss is willing to intercede for me and ask the emperor to spare me, I will tell you the truth."
"Okay." Tu Lichen gritted his teeth and said, "But when you get to the emperor, you only need to say that Princess Qin and Ping'er pushed the matter to the queen, and don't say anything else?"
Hongying looked at Tu Lichen in confusion, "Sir, why is this?"
"You don't need to ask any more questions. Just do as I say, otherwise I won't guarantee that you can leave the Forbidden City alive." His words immediately frightened Hongying, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I know, I will definitely
I won’t talk nonsense.”
Tu Lichen nodded, stood up and took Hongying into the main hall. As soon as they entered, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and Yinzhen even asked: "How about it, is Hongying willing to say it?"
"Returning to the emperor, after the old minister explained to her, she decided to tell the truth and not to join forces with Concubine Qin!" Tu Lichen's words shocked Concubine Qin, and her eyes turned cold as she stared at Hongying.
After coming down, although the latter lowered his head, he could still feel the coldness, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
Concubine Qin said expressionlessly: "Hongying, I really want to hear the truth you told Master Turichen. Unlike Ping'er, you are an old man who has been with me for many years. I believe you will not say unreasonable things.
Come and accuse me wrongly."
Hearing these words, Hongying's body trembled even more than before. Seeing this, Tu Lichen said: "Hongying, you don't have to be afraid, just say what you told me again in front of the emperor."
When he got here, he glanced at Concubine Qin and said: "Don't worry, in this Yangxin Palace, no one would dare to do anything to you without the Emperor."
"Yes." Hongying agreed, knelt down and said the words that made Concubine Qin change her face in shock, "To inform Your Majesty, Concubine Qin did ask Ping'er to blame everything on the Queen. This servant has heard this with her own ears.
"
Faced with the successive testimonies, Concubine Qin could no longer maintain her composure and said sternly: "Hongying, are these words Tulichen forced you to say to unjustly accuse me? What did he say to you just now?"
Hongying was so scolded by her that she didn't dare to speak. Tulichen sneered and said: "The concubine doesn't want to slander anyone. I just advised Miss Hongying not to speak against her conscience. I didn't say anything else, let alone forcing her.
Words: Concubine, the matter has been put in front of you, I advise you not to hold on any longer."
Yinzhen's eyes swept across the faces of Ping'er and Hongying, and finally landed on Princess Qin, and said slowly: "Toffee, is there something you haven't told me?"
Concubine Qin was shocked, raised her head to meet Yinzhen's questioning gaze, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that even the emperor believed the words of these two cheap maids and doubted me?"
"If there is only Ping'er, I can say that I don't believe it, but now, even Hongying, who has followed the concubine for many years, has come forward to testify against you, which really makes me have to believe it." He paused and said: "The matter is now over, what else can you do?
Please tell the truth, Princess, and don’t hide it anymore."
"I have said everything I want to say, and I have nothing to hide. If the emperor really doesn't believe it, there is nothing I can do." Concubine Qin hated Hongying and Ping'er to the core, especially Hongying, who actually turned against her at this time.
, this is simply killing her. I wonder what kind of delusion Tu Lichen poured into her.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Yunli hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that E Niang would not do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding in this. Your Majesty, please look into it clearly."
Facing Yunli, Yinzhen was a little embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how to answer. After all, besides Yunxiang, Yunli was the closest to him. But at this point, the matter should be clear. Concubine Qin did indeed do it.
He did some disgraceful things to frame the queen. As for the purpose, it was to preserve her current glory.
Seeing that Yinzhen was silent, Tu Lichen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ping'er and Hongying all testified against Concubine Qin in unison. I believe the matter is not false. Please make a clear decision, Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen nodded slightly, walked slowly to the flustered Concubine Qin, and said: "Concubine, you have wronged the Queen, right?"
Concubine Qin is a person who is very good at judging situations. Looking at the situation in front of her, she knows that she cannot escape this disaster. Even if she denies it, it is useless, because listening to Yinzhen's tone, he clearly believes it. However, she does not
Plan to blame everyone
They all turned their backs and took a deep breath and said: "I have not wronged the queen. Ping'er was indeed under my instructions that day in Kunning Palace, but everything she said in front of the emperor was true. The queen is true.
He bribed Ping'er to kill Concubine Xi."
"Eniang, you..." Yunli looked at Concubine Qin in disbelief. He didn't expect that what he had denied for a long time was actually true. Eniang was actually true...
Concubine Qin felt guilty and said: "Yunli, there is nothing you can do about it. If you don't do that, you and Concubine Xi will be the ones who suffer." At this point, she looked at Yinzhen, who had a gloomy look on his face, and said:
"If the emperor doesn't believe me, you can ask Ping'er and Hongying to see if I lied."
Before Yinzhen could ask questions, Ping'er kowtowed and said, "If I go back to the emperor, the queen has never bribed any slaves. I don't know why Concubine Qin wanted to harm the queen like this."
Concubine Qin's expression changed, she rushed in front of Ping'er and slapped her face with such force that she knocked Ping'er to the ground, gritted her teeth and said: "You bitch, you betrayed me is not enough, you have to continue here.
Confusing right and wrong?"
Ping'er covered her face and sobbed: "I didn't lie, I didn't lie..."
"You're still here talking lies!" Concubine Qin was so angry that she was trembling all over. She raised her hands and was about to hit her again. Yunli stopped her and said, "Eniang, please don't hit her. Let's listen to what Hongying has to say first."
Yunli's words reminded her, her cold eyes fell on Hongying, and she said word for word: "Hongying, tell me, if you dare to tell lies like Ping'er, I will skin you!"
Tu Lichen was afraid that Hongying would tell the truth, so he quickly followed: "Hongying, don't worry, the emperor and I are both here, and they won't let Concubine Qin hurt you at all."
"Yes." Hongying was so frightened that she became paralyzed, and tremblingly said the words that made Concubine Qin desperate, "For the record, Your Majesty, I have never heard that the Empress wanted to harm Concubine Xi..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her face looked like Ping'er's, which had received a heavy slap. Concubine Qin's furious voice came to her ears, "You bitch, how can I be sorry for you? You want to harm me like this?!"
When Hongying covered her face and cried, Concubine Qin already said: "Your Majesty, these two cheap maids must have been bribed by Tu Lichen, so they slandered me with such nonsense, otherwise why did they just
Tu Lichen wants to talk to Hongying alone. Your Majesty, please do not believe what they say. I really did not harm the Queen. It was the Queen who had the intention to harm others, so she..."
