Ling Ruo said coldly: "Don't rush to thank the Ai family, Concubine Xian, do you know why the queen treats you like this?"
Xianyue heard something was wrong, and said cautiously, "I don't know, please express it clearly."
"The queen once went to Xinzheku to meet Cai Ling, and Cai Ling told the queen everything she knew. Is this reminder clear enough?" This sentence was like a thunderous explosion, making Xianyue's ears buzz, and her whole body
Everyone stayed there, and before she could come to her senses, Hongli couldn't help but
He scolded: "You clearly knew that Su wanted to harm Mingyu, why didn't you stop it, and why did you let Mingyu become allergic? It's been ten years, I thought you were different from ten years ago, but it turns out you are not, you have never changed from the beginning to the end
, is still as vicious and self-interested as before, and will do whatever it takes!"
Every word Hongli said was like a sharp arrow that pierced Xianyue's heart, leaving it full of holes and scars.
The pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe or speak. I could only open my increasingly blurry eyes and look at the tall figure in front of me.
After a long time, she forced the tears back into her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Please tell me, Your Majesty, why do you want to stop the Su family? And why do you not stop it because you are vicious and self-interested and do whatever it takes?"
Hongli was startled by what she said, and then said: "The queen treats you like a biological sister and thinks of everything for you, but you just watch something happen to her without stopping her. Isn't this vicious? Use the trick to get rid of the Su family."
, isn’t this unscrupulous?”
"Treat me like your own sister?" Xianyue didn't know how she could still laugh, but she was indeed laughing, "If this was true, when Concubine Hui blamed me for her miscarriage, she would not have doubted me! Your Majesty
When he wanted to enthrone his concubine as a noble concubine, she would not stand in the way! The emperor wanted to hand over his third elder brother to his concubine.
At that time, she would not insist on objecting! There is also Yonglian, he is just getting closer to the concubine, and the queen thinks that it is ridiculous for the concubine to alienate their mother and son. But what is even more ridiculous is the emperor, you clearly did all this
She knows, but she still says that the queen treats her concubines like sisters, she..."
"That's enough!" Hongli interrupted her with an ugly expression, "You don't have to show off your words here. I know who is right and who is wrong."
Xianyue endured the pain in her heart and said: "No, the emperor doesn't know at all. In your eyes, no matter what the queen does, it is right, but the concubine, even if she clearly does the right thing, is also wrong."
Hongli stared at his red eyes and said sternly: "I know very well that the queen did what she did today because of you. It was you who pushed her to this point."
Facing his cannibalistic gaze, Xianyue chuckled, her tears falling drop by drop, silently falling on the gold bricks as smooth as a mirror, "Of course it will be whatever the emperor says.
Until now, you can just convict me, I have nothing to say."
She really had nothing to say, because no matter what she said, Hongli would not listen. He... only believed in Mingyu.
This knowledge made her tears fall even more fiercely, but her blurred eyes could never leave that figure. She wanted to see with her own eyes and listen with her own ears how Hongli would convict her.
"You!" Hongli was irritated by her words and raised his hand to slap her, but stopped in mid-air because of her sad eyes and couldn't slap her anymore.
"Emperor, let Aijia come and talk to her." Under Ling Ruo's words, Hongli took back his hand and stepped aside.
"Concubine Xian, in terms of cause and effect, the queen is at fault and you are at fault too. If you are punished, neither of you can escape. However, this will damage the royal family's face. Therefore, the Ai family has discussed with the emperor and no one can escape."
No blame or punishment, do you understand what Ai Jia means?"
Xianyue wiped away her tears, looked at Ling Ruo in surprise, and said, "What does the emperor mean, do you want me to pretend that this incident never happened?"
Although Ling Ruo doesn't like Xianyue, she has to admit that she is much more transparent than Mingyu and can understand everything at the first glance. "That's exactly what you mean. What do you think?"
Xianyue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "I have no objection, but this matter has become such a big deal, I'm afraid it can't be erased just by wiping it off."
"The Ai family knows that, which is why the Ai family called Xiao Liuzi in." Hearing Ling Ruo mentioning himself, Xiao Liuzi quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't know anything."
Ling Ruohan said in a loud voice: "When Concubine Hui came to Kunning Palace, you were always with the queen. How could you not know that they jointly plotted against Concubine Xian? If the Ai family guessed right, the smallpox contaminated by the embroidered pictures was also
From your hand."
Xiao Liuzi came forward on his knees and cried bitterly: "It's none of my business. I just obey the Queen's orders. The other servants don't know anything. I beg the Queen Mother to have mercy on me and spare my life."
Ling Ruo snorted coldly and said, "The Aijia might as well tell you the truth. Not only will you die, but your family will also be implicated by you and their heads will fall to the ground!"
"No! The Queen Mother, no!" Xiao Liuzi screamed sternly and kept kowtowing: "Everything is the fault of the slave alone and has nothing to do with them. I beg the Queen Mother to have mercy and not to harm innocent people."
"Okay, the Ai family will give you this opportunity. As long as you do what the Ai family says, the Ai family will not only spare their lives, but also reward them with a thousand taels of silver."
Xiao Liuzi repeatedly said: "Please give me the Queen Mother's orders. I will definitely obey them and I will never dare to violate them."
Outside the hall, a bunch of people were waiting eagerly, secretly guessing what was being said inside. After Mingyu came out, Mrs. Gao asked several times, but Mingyu didn't respond, so Mrs. Gao had to give up in frustration.
I don't know how long it took, the palace door opened, and Si Xi went in. Not long after, Si Xi came out with the ashen-faced Xiao Liuzi, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor have found out that the matter of embroidery on the ceiling is caused by
What Xiao Liuzi did by the Queen's side was because he had been reprimanded by Concubine Xian and had a grudge, so he did this vicious thing and wanted to blame Concubine Xian. Fortunately, the truth is now revealed. The Queen Mother has decreed that if Xiao Liuzi did such a vicious thing, he should immediately drag down the stick.
shoot!"
Everyone looked at each other. No one could have imagined that after waiting for so long, there would be such a result. It was really unbelievable that everything was done by a slave. However, the Queen Mother and the Emperor both said so. No matter how doubtful they were, they would not
If he dared to say something, he raised his hands and said in unison: "The Queen Mother is wise! The Emperor is wise!"
While they were talking, two eunuchs came forward and dragged Xiao Liuzi down, but the latter never said a word from the beginning to the end.
Among everyone, the one who was most shocked was Mrs. Gao. According to her plan, the person who was dragged down and killed with a stick was Xianyue. How could she suddenly become Xiao Liuzi? She lowered her voice and asked the person kneeling beside her.
Mingyu said, "My dear, why did things suddenly become like this?"
