Before Xianyue could speak, Xiao Quanzi knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the imperial concubine had a life-saving grace for Xia Qing. Now that the empress is blindly protecting Xia Qing, I really have to doubt this.
The matter is related to the empress!"
Xianyue's expression changed and she yelled: "How brave, you, a slave, dare to accuse me unjustly. Do you think you are guilty?"
Xiao Quanzi lowered his head and said: "I don't dare, but if the empress has nothing to do with this matter, why do you keep obstructing Xia Qing's execution?"
Xianyue saw the same question in Hongli's eyes and said: "I don't let Yu concubine be punished because I believe in Xia Qing's character. She is kind-hearted and will never do anything harmful to others.
"
Yubi said excitedly: "But I don't believe it. She must have been instigated by someone to harm me like this." After that, she said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the person who harmed your mother and son. Calm down and don't get too excited." After comforting Concubine Yu, Hongli glanced at everyone, "Who is Xia Qing?"
Hearing this, Xia Qing took a few steps forward, bowed her head and knelt down and said, "My slave, Xia Qing, comes to see your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed."
Hongli stared at her and said, "I'm asking you, but you poisoned the concubine's water and made her what she is now. If you are willing to tell me, I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will send you to the Shenxing Department."
Xia Qing trembled, quickly raised her head and glanced at Xianyue, gritted her teeth and said: "I have never done anything to intentionally harm Concubine Yu. I can swear to God on this!"
Yubi said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Xia Qing has a very tough mouth. If she doesn't need punishment, she will never do it."
"Okay!" Hongli slowly uttered a word and said in a cold voice: "Xiao Wu, escort Xia Qing to the Punishment Division. In addition to not being allowed to die, they will torture her. When they are willing to recruit, they will escort her back."
Before Xiao Wu could agree, Xianyue had already said: "Your Majesty, Xia Qing could not have done this. She was wronged."
Hongli stared into Xianyue's eyes and said slowly: "No matter what, Xia Qing is suspected. If she is proved to be innocent later, I will give her justice. At this moment, the noble concubine, please get out of the way."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "I'm afraid that Xia Qing will be disabled by then, and nothing can make up for it. I hope the emperor will learn from it."
"Your Majesty, you have seen that the concubine has been helping Xia Qing to speak and refused to be punished no matter what. I really don't want to doubt the concubine, but..." Yu Bi said with a sad face: "I saw it with my own eyes, so I can't help but doubt it.
.”
Xianyue ignored her words and just looked at Hongli without blinking, "Your Majesty, do you also doubt my concubine?"
Under her gaze, Hongli looked back at Yubi's bulging belly, then shook his head and said: "You can treat Yonghuang kindly. I believe you will not do such a thing, but I... don't believe this
Maid!"
Hongli's words made Yubi's pupils shrink suddenly, and she clenched her hands hanging by her sides. It was so obvious that Hongli still didn't believe that it was Xianyue who did it. She was really angry to death!
A warm current flowed through Xianyue's heart. She didn't know when her tightly curled fingers loosened silently, trusting... This time, Hongli finally didn't break his promise.
It's a pity that this time, she betrayed Hongli's trust. However, she has no regrets. Keliete Yuying killed Yonglian, and she will get back the debt for Yonglian no matter what.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Xianyue knelt down and stood up, and said, "There is one thing that I didn't want to say at first, but in order to avoid injuring innocent people, I can only tell the truth."
"What's the matter?" Faced with Hongli's inquiry, Xianyue sighed softly. After a moment of silence, she said: "When I asked the Song imperial physician to diagnose my pulse, I overheard him talking about the palace servants of Xianfu Palace.
I once asked him what kind of medicine is effective in appetizing and increasing food intake, and he told me a prescription for appetizing and strengthening the spleen."
Yubi's expression immediately changed and she blurted out: "Impossible, I have never sent anyone to ask the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty, please don't slander me here."
Xianyue looked calm and said: "Whether it is slander or not, we will tell you when the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty comes and asks." As soon as he finished speaking, Hongli said: "Immediately go and inform the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty that he is here."
Xiao Wu held the lantern and left quickly. After a while, he took Song Zihua to Xianfu Palace. After the latter heard about his purpose of coming here, he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Miss Dongmei did ask Wei Chen about his calculations."
The time should be six days ago."
Dongmei said sharply: "You are talking nonsense. I never came to you at all, let alone asked those questions!"
Jin's eyes deepened and he shouted: "How dare you, in front of the emperor and the noble concubine, how can you be rude and not kneel down to admit your mistake?"
Dongmei came back to her senses, knelt down in a hurry, and then said: "I know that I am guilty, but not a word of what the Song Dynasty doctor said is true. The master's dragon fetus has always been taken care of by the Zhou Dynasty doctor. Even if something happens, the slave girl will always find her."
How could Imperial Physician Zhou go to Imperial Physician Song for no reason? This makes no sense at all."
"Really?" Xianyue said with a half-smile, "But your master personally acknowledged it, and it was just passed on to Dr. Fang today, so what do you mean?"
Yu Bi said coldly: "I summoned the Imperial Physician Fang because I wanted to know for sure whether my appearance was due to a physical difference or a conspiracy. You have also seen the result. As for what the Imperial Physician Song just said.
, it is indeed a myth." After a pause, she continued: "I went to ask the imperial doctor of the Song Dynasty about the medicine for appetizing and increasing food intake.
I want to say that my concubine has become what she is today, all because of herself, so as to use this to wrong Xia Qing and my mother? This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world. No one would use his own life to wrong others, let alone
He said that I still have a child in my belly, and even if I lose my life, I will never harm this child." The more Yubi spoke, the more excited she became.
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "I didn't say that, Yu Bi was overthinking it. Besides... the Song Dynasty doctor said it was six days ago, not six months ago. How could Yu Bi be here six days ago?"
How can I change myself into what I am now?"
Concubine Yu stared at her smile. For some reason, she felt frightened in her heart. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Then I forgive you for being stupid and not understanding what the empress wants to say."
Xianyue suppressed the smile on her face and sighed: "Concubine Yu asked the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty for the prescription of Kaiwei Jianpi Pills six days ago. Six days later, it was suddenly found that this kind of medicine was mixed in the mountains and waters of Yuquan; among them,
The connection is obvious, do I still need to say it?"
Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said, "I don't understand, I hope your Majesty will make it clear!"
Xianyue gave a brief salute to Hongli and said: "Your Majesty, what I said below are all my concubine's guesses. If there are any mistakes or inaccuracies, I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Hongli nodded and said, "I won't blame you, just say it."
