"It's ridiculous, when have I ever made such a statement?" Hongli turned his gaze and landed on Xiao Wu, saying, "You slave, didn't you hear my instructions clearly?"
Xiao Wu said aggrievedly: "Returning to the Emperor, I immediately went to Yanxi Palace to convey the decree after getting the Emperor's words. I have never been to Bilin Pavilion, and I have never seen Ling Chang here." When he said this, he
Looking at Cai Ling, she whispered: "Ling is always here, did you remember it wrong?"
Cai Ling was also confused, but after hearing Xiao Wu's words, she immediately retorted: "Nonsense, it was just something that happened not long ago, how could I remember it wrong?"
"Then the slave really doesn't know." As he said that, Xiao Wu couldn't help but muttered, "Could it be that he saw a ghost?"
Hongli heard his words with his ears and scolded: "It's ridiculous. The sky is clear and the sun is bright. How can there be any ghosts?"
Xiao Wu hurriedly said: "This slave is talking nonsense, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Hongli ignored him and said: "Cai Ling, did you really see Xiao Wu go to Bilin Pavilion to deliver the order?"
Cai Ling composed herself and said: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but it was A Luo who received the order. When she left the Bilin Pavilion, she happened to meet the Fifth Eunuch." Seeing A Luo kneeling silently, she muttered sadly.
He shouted: "Why don't you quickly report the situation to the emperor?"
A Luo said in a panic: "Yes, it was a slave who received the order. Your Majesty, it was a slave who met the Fifth Eunuch and then received the order. What the master said is the truth and there is no lies."
Xianyue walked up to A Luo, stretched out her hand and wiped it on her forehead, and said, "If you didn't say panic, why are you sweating so much?"
A Luo's expression became more and more panicked, and he said: "My slave is not lying. It's... it's because of the stuffy heat in the palace, so my slave is sweating."
Xianyue twirled the moisture on her fingertips and sneered: "No one else feels it, you are the only one who feels stuffy, and you are the only one who sweats. A Luo, do you think this is justified? Tell me, have you ever seen it?
Fifth Eunuch, if you meet him, what else did he say to you besides the emperor's words? Say it word by word in front of the emperor!"
A Luo was so weak by what she said that he collapsed on the ground and shivered. Hongli had always been suspicious of her, and now he was even more suspicious, saying: "Just follow Concubine Xian's words and tell everything Xiao Wu said to you."
Say every word."
A Luo reluctantly raised his head and said incoherently: "I don't know. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything."
Cai Ling, who was kneeling beside her, frowned when she heard her words and said, "Whatever has nothing to do with you, just answer the emperor's words truthfully."
A Luo, who had been in panic since just now, completely collapsed at this moment and said sharply: "Master, please don't force me anymore. I don't want to accompany you to lie anymore. The crime of deceiving the emperor will be fatal."
Yes, I don’t want to die.” At this point, she took Cai Ling’s hand and said, “Master, please let me go, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
Cai Ling pulled out her hand with force and yelled: "What are you talking about? When did I want you to die? What kind of lie did I want you to tell? It's simply inexplicable."
A Luo kept shaking his head and said: "You are killing me by doing this. Fifth Eunuch has never been to Bilin Pavilion at all. Everything you said is a lie."
Cai Ling was shocked, resisting the urge to cover A Luo's mouth, and said sternly: "Are you crazy? You actually said such ridiculous words. When did I teach you to say this? When did I make it up?
Lies. Aluo, if you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude to you."
God Aluo said in a nagging tone: "You do. You know that the emperor sent Concubine Xian to the Yangxin Palace to serve you. You feel that Concubine Xian is taking advantage of her favor and is not as grateful to you as she promised you before. You are so angry that you come here."
You made a sarcastic comment here, and even deliberately threw her bird's nest cup. Now, in order to gain the Emperor's trust, you say that it was the Fifth Eunuch who passed the order.
You come here and blame everything on this slave. This slave knows that you think that if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can blame everything on this slave and abandon the car to save the commander. But if this slave doesn't want to die, you should treat it as pitiful.
My slave, please let me go. Also, Concubine Xian has tolerated you in every possible way, so why do you have to fight for everything!"
"You!" Cai Ling was so angry that she trembled all over, and slapped A Luo immediately, "You bitch, what are your intentions for slandering me like this!"
"Presumptuous!" Hongli scolded with a gloomy face: "Hitting people at will in front of me, do you still regard me as the emperor in your eyes?!"
Cai Ling recovered from her anger and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I was really angry that A Luo talked nonsense and slandered me in front of the emperor, so I beat her. She...
…”
A Luo covered his face and interrupted her, saying in a sharp voice: "No, my slave. What I said is true. From the day Concubine Xian stepped out of the cold palace, you have treated her as a weapon that you can use."
Chess piece, I want to use this to climb up to the position of sixth concubine or even fourth concubine! Just now outside the Yangxin Hall, you felt that what Concubine Xian said was not what you wanted, so you sneered at her."
"You dare to talk nonsense!" Cai Ling clenched her hands hard to restrain the urge to hit A Luo again, and said sternly: "Tell me, who taught you to say these words? Is it Concubine Xian?" At this point
At this point, she suddenly showed a look of surprise and said: "I know, she asked you to serve me just to harm me today."
A Luo didn't speak, just covered his face and sobbed in a low voice. Xianyue said: "I'm afraid Ling Changzai has misunderstood. When the Imperial Palace was framed by the Su family and was banished to the cold palace by the emperor, even if I didn't take care of everything, so what?"
Arrange for Aluo to serve you. Also, how could I not predict that you would become a permanent presence?"
Cai Ling couldn't answer for a moment, so she had to say: "I don't know what kind of despicable means you used. In short, you must have deliberately arranged what happened today to harm me. Concubine Xian, you are so vicious!"
"No one harmed you, it was you who wanted to harm others." A Luo murmured and repeated this sentence, suddenly rolled up his sleeves, exposed his scarred arms, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Ling Chang Zai has a bad temper.
I treat my servants very harshly. If I don't like them even slightly, I will beat them or scold them. You see, all the injuries on my body are caused by Ling Changzai."
When she saw A Luo's hands full of scars, Xianyue exclaimed, walked over quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "She...how did she beat you like this? You have served me for so many years, and I have never beaten you hard."
Please give me a try, does it hurt?"
Hearing this, A Luo couldn't help but burst into tears, "Ms., after working with Ling Chang here, I know that you treat me really well. It's a shame that I doubted you at that time. You are really worse than a pig or a dog."
Xianyue's eyes were slightly red and she said: "Things have passed, don't talk about these anymore."
