Six hundred and thirtieth IX: Making a Row in the Palace of Yanxi Palace
Mingyu didn't know how to answer, but still insisted that evidence could be found in the Yanxi Palace. At the moment of a stalemate, Xianyue whispered: "Your Majesty, if the empress feels it is necessary, then search, my concubine."
Ask yourself that you have never done anything harmful to anyone, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Mingyu was eager for her to say this, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has agreed. I wonder if it can be searched?"
Hongli was very disgusted with her aggressiveness, but in the end he thought about her eagerness to lose his son and did not care about it. He said to Sixi: "Do as the queen said and lead people to search the Yanxi Palace."
Si Xi took the order and went down. Not long after, he took Xiao Wu and other palace people to search the Yanxi Palace inside and outside, but found nothing unusual.
After Hongli motioned for them to go down, he looked at Mingyu and said, "How is it? Is the Queen satisfied?"
"It's impossible, it's impossible, it must be that they missed it or...Nara Xianyue destroyed the evidence in advance." Mingyu had already entered a dead end, paranoidly believing that Xianyue had harmed Yong Cong.
Hongli suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "Perhaps this matter has nothing to do with the imperial concubine at all. Well, empress, the matter is over here, I don't want to make any more trouble."
"No!" Mingyu said excitedly: "I cannot let Yong Cong die in an unknown way. Except for Nala Xianyue, Yong Cong has never been in contact with anyone else."
Hongli said in a deep voice: "On that day, I brought Yong Cong here. From the beginning to the end, Yong Cong never left my sight. The imperial concubine never hugged or even touched him because she was afraid that her cough would infect Yong Cong.
, I ask you, how is the imperial concubine going to harm him? In front of me?"
Mingyu didn't expect that there would be such a problem. He was speechless for a while. It took him a while to think of something to say, "Maybe she took advantage of the emperor's unpreparedness to attack. Besides, this kind of thing
, she doesn’t have to do it herself, someone will do it for her; the emperor said that Nala Xianyue has never touched Yong Cong, but what about the others, A Luo and Qi Kuan, haven’t any of them touched Yong Cong? "
Hongli was startled. He remembered Yong Huang. During dinner, Yong Huang had played with Yong Cong beside them for a long time. If he really wanted to harm Yong Cong, this time would be enough. But... no, Yong Cong.
It is impossible for Huang to harm Yong Cong, there will never be such a thing!
Mingyu sneered: "The emperor can't answer, can he? That is to say, you don't deny that the people in Nala Xianyue Palace have the opportunity to take action!"
Hongli said coldly: "The imperial concubine will not do such a thing, the empress is suspicious!"
"Suspicious?" Mingyu shook his head and said, "Either I am suspicious, or she is. Apart from her, I can't think of anyone else."
Hongli rolled his sleeves and said without any doubt: "In short, I said it's impossible, it's impossible."
Xianyue, who had not spoken since just now, said: "Empress, you always said that it was my concubine who did it. Have you really asked all the people who came into contact with Brother Seventh before New Year's Eve?"
Mingyu said without thinking: "Of course, those people are still kneeling in Kunning Palace. Do you want to take a look?"
Xianyue lowered her eyes and said, "No, I would like to ask, Wei Jingxuan and Ji You, who are with you, haven't they come into contact with the seventh elder brother?"
Mingyu didn't expect that she would say this. Just when she was stunned, Wei Jingxuan and Ji You were already kneeling down. The former said with a frightened look on his face: "This slave has been wronged. Master, this slave will never dare to harm the seventh elder brother. Please be clear to me!"
Ji You hurriedly said: "Even if this slave eats Xiongxinbaobao's guts, he will never dare to hurt the seventh prince's hair."
"I know what I know!" Mingyu said this, staring at Xianyue and saying: "Nala Xianyue, you don't need to sow discord here. The two of them are loyal to me, how can they harm Yong Cong."
A Luo said in a deep voice: "Queen, you know people but don't know their hearts. From ancient times to the present, are there many examples of people being betrayed by those close to you? I would say, these two are the most suspicious!"
Mingyu lowered his face and said: "How presumptuous! When I am talking to your master, and when it is your turn for a slave to interrupt, you should immediately slap him!"
Xianyue signaled A'luo to step back and said: "A'luo doesn't understand the rules and interrupts without permission. Please forgive me. I will teach you the mistakes she made. However, what she said is not entirely unreasonable. Your Majesty only wants to
I doubt my concubine, but never think about the people around me
Everyone can say that people are loyal, but whether they are really loyal is up for debate." She glanced at Wei Jingxuan, who had her head lowered, and said: "Perhaps some people have never been loyal to you at all, but only rely on you to achieve their goals.
It’s just your own purpose!”
Mingyu was moved by what she said. She glanced at Wei and Ji. Ji You was better, but Wei Jingxuan felt deeply uneasy. Nala Xianyue... Did she say these words to herself? But
How did she know it was her doing, just relying on guesswork? Or...Xia Qing leaked the secret?
Of course, Wei Jingxuan was unable to obtain evidence for all this at the moment, so she could only kneel on the ground uneasily, fearing that Mingyu would be moved by what she said, although this possibility was slim.
Mingyu only gave up the doubts in his heart after a while, and looked away and said: "You don't have to use your clever words here, the person who harmed Yong Cong must be you! Nala Xiayue, I will definitely ask you to pay for Yong Cong today!"
Mingyu's paranoia made Xianyue shake her head, and at the same time stopped Aluo from speaking again. She knew that no matter what Aluo said, Mingyu would not listen. In this case, she might as well save some effort, as long as Hongli did not doubt
She'll be fine.
"That's enough!" Hongli shouted sharply: "Queen, go back to Kunning Palace immediately and don't continue to mess around here?"
"What nonsense?" Mingyu stared at Hongli in disbelief and said, "She killed Yong Cong, but you say that I am a nonsense?"
"Everything depends on evidence, but the queen can't produce any evidence. How do you expect me to believe your words? Furthermore, the Yanxi Palace has also been searched according to your wishes. What is there? There is nothing!"
Mingyu said quickly: "Although nothing was found here, as long as Nala Xianyue Faluo is taken to the Shenxing Department and tortured severely, the result will definitely come out!" Seeing that Hongli didn't speak, she grabbed Hongli's sleeve and said,
Repeatedly said: "Do you believe that I, my concubine, was the one who killed Yong Cong!"
"Queen, why have you become so stubborn? I have said so much to you, but you can't even listen to a word?" After a pause, Hongli said in a more serious tone: "Okay, I will tell you again now,
Yong Cong's death has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, and she will not harm Yong Cong. Now, please return to Kunning Palace immediately and don't make trouble here."
Mingyu immediately shook his head and said: "No! I won't go back unless you send her to the Sentence Department!"
Hongli looked at her with a gloomy expression, and then said to Sixi: "The queen is too worried, so send her back to Kunning Palace immediately to recuperate. Without me, don't let the queen go out, so as not to be sad again."
Mingyu heard the meaning of his words and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to imprison my concubine?"
