Faced with her accusation, Xianyue said with a cold expression: "Hui Fei, you know the truth better than anyone else. If you use your child to harm me, you are not afraid that one day, the child will come to you and demand his life."
?”
These words touched Gao's pain point, making her panic. She quickly used a louder voice to cover up her panic, "In this case, I'm really sorry you can say it. The child is the lifeblood of me.
It’s too late to hurt him, so how can you take advantage of him?
Come to harm you." After that, she said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, you heard that Concubine Xian harmed my concubine, but she still slandered me like this, saying that I used my child to harm her, she...she
How could you say such a thing! How could you be so shameless!"
After Hongli comforted her, he stood up, walked to Xianyue, stared at her for a moment, and said: "Xiangyue, tell me the truth, did you accidentally push Concubine Hui out of anger?"
Xianyue met his suspicious gaze and said word by word: "I have already said everything I want to say before. I have been with you for eight years. Doesn't it mean that the emperor doesn't even have this little trust in me?"
Hongli took a deep breath and said truthfully: "I am not convinced by your words. Apart from the palace people around you, is there anyone else who saw what happened?"
Xianyue sneered and said: "The reason why Concubine Hui led my concubine to the Weaving Forest was because there were no human traces there, so it was convenient for her to do what she did. How could anyone else see her?" After a pause, she asked again: "Your Majesty,
Do you really not believe me?" For
For her, she cares more about Hongli's trust than being wrongly accused by Gao. It's really ridiculous. Hongli has already used musk on her, but she still cares about Hongli so much and keeps asking herself to let go of her feelings for Hongli.
, but in fact, she never gave up at all.
Such affection can be called crazy or... cheap!
Mingyu said from the side: "Concubine Xian, you have always wanted the emperor to believe you, but you have to tell the truth first. As Concubine Hui said, the child is her lifeblood, how could she use the child to harm you."
Xianyue knelt down to her and said, "Everything I said is true. I don't know what else I can tell the truth."
Before Mingyu could speak again, Hongli already said: "Concubine Xian, come out with me."
Xianyue silently agreed. After arriving at the side hall and sending everyone out, Hongli said, "Now there are only you and me. Can you tell the truth?"
"I have already said it, why does no one believe it?" Xianyue endured the pain in her heart and said: "Your Majesty knows me best, and you should know that if I are really jealous of the child in Concubine Hui's belly,
There will be many ways to deal with her, and you don’t have to do it yourself. As for losing control... Your Majesty, is this concubine such an ungrateful person?"
Hongli looked at her intently and said coldly: "That is to say, you still insist that it was Concubine Hui who framed you, right?"
"It's not that I insist on it, but it's the fact that if the emperor insists on not believing it, I can't do anything about it." The Gao family laid out this situation so cleverly that she couldn't find a chance to escape.
Hongli walked back and forth a little irritably, and the sound of Chao boots stepping on the gold bricks kept ringing in Xianyue's ears. After an unknown period of time, the sound suddenly stopped, and then Xianyue's shoulders were pressed tightly by Hongli.
Holding it, he seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "Xiayue, if you were really impulsive and pushed Concubine Hui down, as long as you admit it, I can give you a lighter sentence!"
This was already his biggest compromise and concession. After all, the one who died was his unborn child, not to mention that Gao was qualified to be a mother for this. If he hadn't felt guilty about Xianyue, he wouldn't have done it at all.
Say something like this.
Facing his eyes, Xianyue chuckled, holding back the tears in her eyes and choked with sobs: "After talking for a long time, the emperor still doesn't believe me. That's all, I have nothing to say, just let the emperor have his way."
Hearing this, Hongli looked unhappy and said: "I have already promised you such words, but you still refuse to tell the truth, right? Xianyue, if you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xianyue didn't dare to speak because she was afraid that if she spoke, the tears she had been holding back would fall. She didn't want to cry in front of Hongli, at least not now!
Seeing that Xianyue remained silent, Hongli just thought that she was deliberately going against him. His eyes turned cold, he loosened his hands and said two words, "That's it!"
When Hongli turned to leave, Xianyue quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and followed Hongli to the inner hall. She had tried her best, but unfortunately, no one believed her words.
After arriving at the inner palace, Hongli's first words were to Mingyu: "Queen, how should I deal with the murder of the emperor's heir?"
Mingyu stood up and said in a low voice: "If you return to the emperor, according to the law, you should seize the throne and be banished to the cold palace. You will not be able to step out of the cold palace for the rest of your life."
Before Hongli could speak, Mrs. Gao had already said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian killed my concubine's child, and also deprived me of my qualification to be the mother-in-law for the rest of my life. If I just resign myself to the cold palace, I would think that she would be far away."
It cannot erase the sin she committed."
Hongli didn't say anything, only said: "In Concubine Hui's opinion, what should we do?"
Mrs. Gao said bitterly: "She killed my concubine's child. Only by paying for it with her life can her sin be averted!"
Hearing this, Mingyu showed an unbearable look and said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Xian has made a mistake, I still ask Your Majesty to treat her leniently in light of the fact that Concubine Xian has been with you for many years and has done nothing but work.
, don’t hurt your life.”
Hongli nodded slightly, and his complex eyes fell on Xianyue, who was standing silently in the hall, "I will ask you one last time, can you plead guilty?"
Xianyue did not raise her head, but just said the same words as before, "I am innocent, why should I admit it!"
Seeing the anger flashing across Hongli's eyes, A'luo gritted his teeth and was about to stand up and take on everything, when suddenly a small figure broke in, followed by several palace people who couldn't stop him.
Mingyu saw the person coming clearly and said in surprise: "Yonglian, why are you here?"
While panting, Yonglian bowed to Hongli and Mingyu, and then said: "I heard something happened to Concubine Xian, so I came here specially."
Mingyu scolded: "Nonsense, is this the place you should come to? Go back quickly."
"No!" Yong Lian said this, and ran to Hong Li and said eagerly: "Emperor Ama, I can testify that what Concubine Xian said is true."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, especially the Gao family. They stared at Yonglian blankly and couldn't believe what he said. He and the Su family discussed for a long time before choosing the place in the net-making forest. How could Yonglian see it?
, how could he be there?
Before Gao could think more, Hongli had already come to his senses, pulled Yonglian over, and said solemnly: "Yonglian, what you just said, say it again."
Yong Lian said word by word: "I can prove that Concubine Xian did not lie, because I was in the netting forest at that time."
Hongli thought for a moment and said, "Please explain the matter to Huang Ama carefully."
