The huge pressure made Haitang become a little nervous. Listening to Liu's scolding, she smiled strangely: "I know, I really know. Master, don't you also know it very well?"
Her words made Mrs. Liu panic. If Haitang really told the truth, she and the queen would be completely finished. She didn't care whether it would arouse Yinzhen's suspicion. She got up and rushed to Haitang and slapped her twice in the face, "
Please stay awake and don't go crazy!" After that, she took the opportunity to turn her back to Yinzhen and others and said in a very low voice: "If you don't want to die, just pretend to be crazy!"
Mrs. Liu had a good idea. As long as Haitang pretends to be crazy, she will naturally not be listened to. And Yinzhen will not bring a madman to the Criminal Division, so Haitang will most likely escape.
But Haitang, whose mind was broken, couldn't hear her words at all, "I'm not crazy, I'm very conscious. Someone did push Concubine Jin into the water, but it wasn't me, but..." Before she finished speaking, there was something on her red and swollen cheeks.
Mrs. Liu was slapped again, with such force that one of her teeth was knocked out, and the tooth was spat out along with blood foam.
However, these successive slaps finally made Haitang wake up a little. She covered her face and did not dare to say anything anymore. When Liu turned around, she knew that she was finished, because Yinzhen looked at her with eyes full of doubts and scrutiny.
When he looks at someone like this, basically, that person will not end well.
Although her heart was sinking, Mrs. Liu still held on to a trace of luck and managed to put on a smile and said: "It made the emperor laugh. Haitang must have been frightened by the words of the concubine just now, so she talked nonsense."
"Really?" Although he was asking, the doubt in Yinzhen's eyes did not diminish at all, and became more intense.
"How dare I deceive the emperor? It's true." Mrs. Liu was still smiling, but her smile became more and more forced, and it was even difficult to maintain it.
"If not, why did you interrupt Haitang several times, and..." His eyes suddenly turned and fell on Nala's face, "Queen, do you know something?"
It has to be said that Yinzhen's sense is very keen. Although Nalashi only said one sentence, it also aroused Yinzhen's suspicion.
Nala was calmer than Liu, and said with a "surprised" look on her face: "Where did the emperor start with these words?"
Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, but finally did not point it out directly. Instead, he looked at Haitang and said, "Tell me, who recommended Concubine Jin? If you recruit her from the truth, I will exempt you from the punishment of Shenxingsi, otherwise I will not give you a lenient mercy.
"
"I don't know. I don't know anything." Although Haitang denied it repeatedly, how could Yinzhen, who was no longer suspicious, let her fool her with just a few words? He sneered: "It seems like you can only be careful.
The Criminal Division has visited, and I believe you will be happy to tell everything you know there."
"No! I'm not going!" Haitang shouted in panic again, looking at Mr. Liu with eyes full of pleading.
Mrs. Liu never dared to let go of Haitang, because Haitang knew too many of her secrets. If she revealed even a little bit, she would be killed. But now, she couldn't stop the situation. What should she do? What should she do?
good?
On the other side, Nala was also nervously thinking about the way out. She had never thought that Niu Hulu could push herself so hard. At this moment, it was certain that Zhou Xing and Dai Jia were both Niu Hulu.
The chess piece used by Clan to force Haitang to collapse.
This abacus was really good. After all, they never expected that Niu Hulu would plan to open a gap in the humble Begonia, and the facts proved that she succeeded.
Today, if no one confesses, Yinzhen will never give up. It seems that one of the chess pieces must be thrown away, otherwise even she will be in danger.
Thinking of this, she turned around and stared at Liu and said: "Liu promised, Haitang has been with you for so many years, with both success and merit. Do you really have the heart to watch her go to the Criminal Punishment Department?"
Mrs. Liu didn't understand what she meant for a moment, so she could only follow her words and said: "I can't bear it, but I take it seriously..."
Nala said with a heartbroken look: "Liu promised, the emperor is here, are you going to lie in front of the emperor? Some things, no matter how much you cover up, can only delay it for a while, not a lifetime; what should be said must always be said
explain."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu finally understood that Nala was going to treat her as an abandoned son and let her bear all the charges!
The next moment, Ms. Liu's heart was full of anger. If she had a hard time this time, she would never let Mr. Nalash escape unscathed. It was simply a dream to think of her as a scapegoat.
How could Mrs. Liu's thoughts escape Nala's eyes? Since she decided to throw Mrs. Liu out as an abandoned son, she naturally had a way to persuade her.
"Do you think you can escape this incident by hiding it all the time? It's impossible. Paper can never cover the fire. If you act like this, you will not only harm yourself, but also harm Brother Six. Do you hope that Brother Six will be harmed?"
Brother, won’t you be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life?” Seeing Mrs. Liu’s expression, she continued: “Yes, you are wrong, but at least it’s not too late to say it now, and you can still ask for the emperor’s forgiveness, and even more
I can make up for it a little bit, Brother Six."
"Queen, what do you know?" Faced with Yinzhen's questioning again, Nala did not escape. She sighed heavily, knelt down and said, "I am guilty. I knew that Liu promised to be weird a long time ago.
But he believed her because she begged for an oath. If Concubine Xi and Concubine Cheng had not forced Haitang into confusion today, I might not have found out that she had been deceived."
Ling Ruo stared coldly at Nala with a sad look on her face. Such a queen, she pushed Liu out to be the scapegoat as soon as the situation was not right, but Liu was so ambitious, how could she be willing to take the blame for others? Between the two of them,
I'm afraid there will be a bit of dog-eat-dog drama.
Nala stared at her and said, "How do you say this?"
Nala pretended to be solemn and said: "To be fair to the emperor, when Concubine Xi went to Liu Wensheng's place that day, I also passed by immediately. After Concubine Xi left, I found that Liu Wensheng's feet were not injured at all. Liu Wensheng
I once said that she couldn't follow Concubine Jin to Linyuanchi because she sprained her foot, but the fact is that she was not injured at all, and her intentions naturally aroused suspicion."
"I thought about telling the emperor at that time. But Liu promised to keep saying that she was innocent and that she had not done anything harmful to anyone. She knew nothing about Concubine Jin falling into the water, and she kept swearing and swearing. I felt soft-hearted and believed it.
She, concealed this matter for her. As for the injury on Liu Zheng’s foot, it was intentionally injured later.” Before Yinzhen could speak, she sobbed: “I am confused, I deserve to die!”
