Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "It's really ridiculous. People die every day in the world. Do they blame all their deaths on me?"
Xia Qing ignored her and continued to say to the silent Mingyu: "She has no loyalty to the empress at all. She just wants to use the empress to gain power and get rid of her status as a slave. For this, she will do anything, including murdering Qi'a."
elder brother."
Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Not to mention your nonsense, what does the life and death of Brother Seventh have to do with whether I can get rid of my identity?"
"Of course there is no direct relationship, but if you don't help Concubine Yu except for the seventh prince, what reason does Concubine Yu have to help you? As for why Concubine Yu wants the seventh prince to die, the Queen, you should know it in your heart."
Mingyu's face was as gloomy as the coming storm. Although she didn't want to believe Xia Qing's words, her words were indeed somewhat credible. When the fifth elder brother was born, visions fell from the sky, and auspicious signs appeared, both inside and outside the palace.
At that time, everyone was speculating whether he would be the right one.
I'm afraid Hongli had this idea in his mind. After Yong Cong was born, Hongli showed great preference for Yong Cong, so this rumor gradually faded away. If Concubine Yu wanted to compete for the throne, then Yong Cong would be the biggest obstacle. If Yong Cong was removed,
, only then could the fifth elder brother ascend to the throne.
The more Mingyu remained silent, the more frightened Wei Jingxuan became. Just as she was thinking about how to speak, Mingyu already said: "Jingxuan, did you really do what Yong Cong did?"
"No, it has nothing to do with the slave. It was Xia Qing who framed the slave. Don't listen to her words. The slave's loyalty to the master can be learned from heaven and earth. There is absolutely no intention of betrayal!"
Mingyu said with an ugly face: "But Xia Qing's words are true, and they don't seem to be false. And her family, this kind of thing cannot be false."
Wei Jingxuan raised her hand and said: "I don't know how her family members died, but I can swear to God that I have never harmed my master or my seventh brother!"
Xia Qing said coldly: "Don't believe her, Madam. Such false oaths cannot be made at all. If you don't believe it, you can send Eunuch He from Xinzheku to ask if the relationship between Wei Jingxuan and the Su family is the same."
It’s just like what the slave said.”
Wei Jingxuan said in a panic: "Xia Qing, you helped the imperial concubine confuse right and wrong, be careful of retribution in the future!"
Xia Qing laughed sharply and said: "My retribution is to keep thinking about sisterly love and not expose your true colors in time, which resulted in the death of my family." After saying this, she cried and laughed, which looked really a bit weird.
Crazy, she then said: "Empress, I have told you everything I know. If you don't kill this bitch Wei Jingxuan now, you will definitely be killed by her in the future!"
"Master..." As soon as Wei Jingxuan said two words, Mingyu beckoned: "Come, come to me."
Although Mingyu looked calm and seemed to be fine, Wei Jingxuan felt more and more unsure. She stood up and walked to Mingyu cautiously. Before she could stand still, she received a heavy slap on the face, followed by another
one side of face
There was also severe pain, and she didn't dare to avoid it. She was slapped all over again. After being slapped for more than a dozen times, she finally stopped. At this time, she felt that her whole face was in pain that was beyond words, and her ears were buzzing.
There is a loud sound, and there is a fishy-sweet taste in the corner of the mouth.
Mingyu pointed at Wei Jingxuan, whose face was covered with red fingerprints, and said sternly: "How have I treated you over the years? You actually treated me like this and even killed my Yong Cong. Wei Jingxuan, you are worthy of me.
?”
Seeing Wei Jingxuan being slapped and scolded, Xia Qing felt indescribably happy. Dad, mother, brother, you are watching from the sky. I will be able to avenge you soon.
Wei Jingxuan endured the pain and knelt down, and said vaguely: "Master, I really don't have any slaves. Don't listen to Xia Qing's words of estrangement. This is the imperial concubine's trick. She wants to harm you and your slaves for a day or two."
Mingyu snorted coldly and said: "The emperor said that Nala Xianyue has never touched Yong Cong, and the people responsible for taking care of Yong Cong have also been questioned one by one, and there is nothing suspicious. The rest are just
It’s just you and Jiyu.”
Upon hearing this, Ji You quickly waved his hands and said, "Master, it's none of my business. I don't know anything. As for aunt..." He glanced at Wei Jingxuan and said, "She couldn't be more loyal to my master. I believe that."
This matter has nothing to do with her!"
"You can talk to me about this after you are beaten." Although it was already the end of spring, Mingyu's cold and merciless voice made Ji Youru shiver in the cold winter and kowtow repeatedly to beg for mercy.
Mingyu turned a blind eye to this. For her, there was nothing more important than finding the murderer of Yong Cong. She shouted: "Come here, drag Ji You and Wei Jingxuan down and beat them for thirty years!"
She had previously beaten the palace servants who were responsible for taking care of Yong Cong, without limiting the number of sticks, and directly ordered them to be beaten until they were willing to use them. This time, she only punished them with thirty sticks. It was not that she felt pity for Wei Jingxuan, but that she did not want to.
Beat Wei Jingxuan to death in one fell swoop. If it is found out that Wei Jingxuan betrayed her and colluded with Concubine Yu, she will definitely cut Wei Jingxuan into pieces with a thousand knives. Only in this way can she relieve the hatred in her heart!
Wei Jingxuan broke away and pulled her hand, crying: "Master, if you do this, you don't trust me, right?"
Mingyu looked at her coldly and said, "You want me to believe you? Okay, give me a reason!"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said sadly: "The imperial concubine has made every step of the way, and found a good chess piece like Xia Qing to arrange everything in a logical and reasonable manner. This slave... really can't find a reason for the master to believe it." After a pause, she said again: "
Yes, the slave and the Su family do have some contacts, because the slave
When I was in Xinzheku, she treated my slave and Xia Qing very well. I heard her talk about the past, that is, at that time, I knew about my master and the suffering you had suffered. In fact, Su's success over the years has
I regret it very much, but it’s a pity that the big mistake has been made. Regret cannot change the facts.”
Mingyu said coldly: "You think that if you say this, I will believe you or show mercy to you, it's impossible!"
Wei Jingxuan smiled sadly and said: "This slave has never thought about it like this. Yes, I cannot make my master believe that I am innocent, but I can prove my loyalty to my master and prove that I have never betrayed my master, even if I have no intention at all."
Got up!" He said this,
She glanced at Ji You, and then a fierce look flashed across her face. She raised her hand and pulled out the silver hairpin from her bun. Before Mingyu and others could react, she stabbed her chest with all her strength.
For a moment, bright red blood slowly flowed down the hairpin body, stinging Mingyu's eyes.
"Slave...really...really did not betray the master..." After reluctantly saying this, Wei Jingxuan fainted immediately, and blood flowed down her clothes to the ground.
