Cai Ling also stared at A Luo's arms, her eyes full of disbelief. She had indeed slapped A Luo, but it was just a slap after returning from Yanxi Palace. The bruises on A Luo's arms were
She didn't even know it was swollen. After she came to her senses, Cai Ling said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have never beaten her. These injuries are fake. They are totally fake."
A Luo sobbed: "Your Majesty, not only the slaves, but also the other palace members of the Bilin Pavilion have been scolded and punished by Ling Chang to some extent."
After A Luo said these words, Cai Ling felt bad. After she was granted the title of Chang Zai, A Luo often told her that people waiting in the palace should not be polite. Once they do something wrong, they will be punished.
You must be severely punished, so that they will obey you, respect you and fear you.
She believed this deeply at the time, so the people who treated her in the palace were quite strict. Several of them were beaten, and scoldings were common. But now, all these have become fatal matters.
Hongli's face was even gloomier than before, as if water was about to drip at any time, and he said in a cold voice: "Cai Ling, do you want me to send someone to the palace officials from Bilin Pavilion to ask questions?"
Cai Ling did not dare to look into his eyes and said bravely: "I have indeed punished a few palace servants who made mistakes, but it was A Luo who encouraged me to do so, and it was not my intention. However, the injuries on A Luo's body
It’s really not my concubine’s fault. These injuries... must be fake. If the emperor doesn’t believe it, he can send the imperial doctor to have a look.”
Xianyue withdrew her gaze from A Luo's arm and said coldly: "Ling Chang Zai's words are really interesting. Everything is A Luo. Are you always there, or is A Luo always there? Also, if you listen to everything,
Ah Luo, how come there are so many injuries on her body?"
Cai Ling was at a loss for words, and it took her a long time to squeeze out one sentence, "These injuries are fake. They must be fake. Your Majesty, I have asked for an imperial doctor to come and examine them."
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "Go and ask the imperial doctor."
Si Xi quietly retreated, and time passed bit by bit in the solemn atmosphere and silent depression. When the palace door was pushed open again, everyone in the palace felt a sense of relief.
Song Zihua came with Sixi. After he understood the purpose of calling him here, he stepped forward to check A Luo's injuries. In this process, the most nervous person was Cai Ling. As long as it was proved that A Luo's injuries were fake
, then all A Luo’s previous words will be overturned, and she will be safe.
She couldn't wait to ask: "Doctor Song, how are you doing? Is this injury fake?"
Song Zihua let go of A Luo's hand and said, "If Hui Ling is always here, Wei Chen has examined the scars on Miss A Luo's arms. Judging from the changes in her skin and muscles, they should all be real."
These words were like a dull stick, hitting Cai Ling hard on the head, making her dizzy, and then she screamed: "Impossible, I never hit her, how could there be scars? It must be you
If the test is wrong, try again and try again immediately!"
Before Song Zihua could say anything, Hongli slapped the emperor's case hard, "Have you had enough of your nonsense?"
Cai Ling's whole body jumped following his palm, and then she said in a panic: "I'm not fooling around. I've never beaten A Luo. There must be something wrong with her injuries, or maybe she and Imperial Physician Song
Collusion.”
Song Zihua was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Ling is always here. What Wei Chen said just now is not half false. If you don't believe it, you can ask other imperial doctors to test it."
Before Cai Ling could speak, Hong Li said: "Song Zihua, this matter has nothing to do with you, please step aside."
After Song Zihua retreated, Hongli sneered and said, "You said you have never slapped A Luo? But I just saw you slap A Luo. Could it be that my eyes were dazzled?"
"That's not what I mean, I am..." Cai Ling wanted to explain eagerly, but Hongli no longer gave her this chance, and said indifferently: "You want to ask the doctor to do an examination, I have already followed you, and now the examination is out
After that, you said they were colluding, Cai Ling, you really let me say anything."
"I'm not, it's not like this, they are conspiring together, they want to harm me." The more anxious Cai Ling tried to explain, the more unclear she became. In the end, even she herself didn't know what she was talking about.
"Enough, the facts are there, you don't need to explain anymore." Hongli stared at her with a cold look and said: "You were born as a palace maid, so you should know the suffering of palace maids, but after you became the master, not only did you not understand them,
Instead, he tortured A Luo arbitrarily, leaving A Luo with bruises all over his body."
Cai Ling was so anxious that she almost cried. She took a few steps on her knees and said, "Your Majesty, I am really unjust. I have never done anything like this."
Hongli said coldly: "It's unjust. Ha, Cai Ling, don't you think it's ridiculous when you say these two words? I have seen that although you are a palace maid, you are courteous and courteous, so I give you this special favor.
But it turns out that everything was pretended by you, Cai Ling, everything was pretended by you to deceive me!"
"No, I didn't lie to you, I..." Before Cai Ling could finish her words, she was interrupted by a pile of memorials thrown in the face by Hongli.
"The Yongding River is flooded, and people are displaced; there is a drought in Taiwan, and people have no water to use, and they are all waiting for disaster relief; every moment, an innocent person may die. But now I have to do it because of you, because of your selfishness, because of your
You made trouble out of nothing, missed the approval of the official document, missed the time for disaster relief, you... deserve to die!"
The last two words frightened Cai Ling out of her wits, and she almost collapsed on the ground. After a while, she said tremblingly: "I have nothing to do with my concubine. I was wrongly accused!"
Hongli shouted sharply: "You are still talking nonsense! If Concubine Xian has wronged you, then how about A Luo, Xiao Wu, and the imperial doctor of Song, did they all wrong you?"
He came to Xianyue today because he originally wanted to ask about the Yongding River floods and the shortage of relief funds for the drought in Taiwan. All the officials were at a loss to deal with the matter. In frustration, he thought of asking Xianyue. Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics,
But the first month of the month
Xiang is resourceful and thoughtful. When talking to her, he can always connect his thoughts inadvertently. The most important thing is that she has no involvement with the previous party. It is not a big deal to ask. I never expected that things would develop like this.
Cai Ling was frightened and just kept repeating the word "unjust". Unfortunately, the emperor who could decide everything did not believe what she said. To be precise, he didn't believe a word of it.
Hongli said expressionlessly: "Chang Zai Xin was originally a palace maid. She was promoted to Chang Zai by divine grace. She should have been grateful for your kindness and abide by her duties. However, Xin Shi criticized the palace people harshly and even offended the superiors.
Being disrespectful to Concubine Xian is an unforgivable crime. Immediately, you will be deposed from your permanent position and demoted to Xin Zheku as a slave. In this life... Xin Zheku will grow old, die, and will not be forgiven!"
Facing her impending fate, Cai Ling was horrified to death. She hurriedly crawled to the imperial case and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I am really unjust. Everything is a trick set up by Concubine Xian. She is the one who harmed me."
