Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters for the dead ghost
Wei Jingxuan said with a hint of flattery: "The fifth elder brother is not only good at reading, but also humble and polite. It's really rare."
Concubine Yu glanced at her and said coldly: "Wei Changzai is so eager to come to me, but what happened?"
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan quickly recounted the whole story, and then said nervously: "My Lady, do you think they discovered my concubine's hands and feet when they went here?"
"It's very possible." After saying this, Concubine Yu frowned and said, "Wei Changzai, what's wrong with you? I've been telling you to be careful, but you've made mistakes again and again. Have you been too comfortable recently?
, making you careless?"
Wei Jingxuan said hurriedly: "No, I have always been very careful, and I never dared to be careless. Especially this time, the silver charcoal was only delivered less than half a day ago. I really don't know how they found out about it." Seeing Concubine Yu, she didn't know.
As she spoke, she said anxiously: "My queen, if I really go to the emperor for this matter, what should I do?"
Regarding this matter, Concubine Yu also found it extremely difficult and said: "Don't be impatient, let me think about it carefully."
Time passed bit by bit in the anxious waiting. Before Concubine Yu could think of a way to come, someone from the palace came in and said: "Master, the Fifth Eunuch is here. He said that he would like to invite Wei Changzai to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jingxuan almost jumped out of her chair and said in a trembling voice: "It's the emperor. It must be the emperor who has come to confront me. What should I do, empress, what should I do now?"
Concubine Yu did not expect that the matter would happen so quickly, and that she would come to Xianfu Palace from Yimeixuan. It seemed that the matter was serious.
Seeing that Concubine Yu didn't speak for a long time, Wei Jingxuan became more and more panicked. She grabbed her clothes and said, "My queen, please save me. I don't want to die!"
Concubine Yu threw her hand away angrily and said: "Do you think I am a god? Who told you to be so careless and get caught, and even bring trouble in front of the emperor? You are in a passive position in everything, and you want to escape again.
Easier said than done.”
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan's face suddenly darkened, "So, your Majesty is planning to die without saving her?"
Concubine Yu's heart moved and she said: "Where did Chang Zai go? Is this the kind of person I am? It's just that this matter is really troublesome." She wished that the trouble would be as far away as possible, but Wei Jingxuan knew
She has too many things going on, and this person has become a double-edged sword that can be used to hurt others, or... to hurt her.
Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "I know this, otherwise I wouldn't dare to trouble the empress." If Concubine Yu stood by and watched, she would not let Concubine Yu have an easy time.
At this time, the palace servant said again: "Mother, the Fifth Eunuch has been urging you very urgently just now. Wei Chang is here..."
Concubine Yu raised her hand to interrupt him, "I know, go and tell him that Wei Changzai will come out soon and ask him to wait a little longer."
After sending the palace servants out, Concubine Yu's thoughts changed rapidly. After a moment, she pointed at Xianghan and said to Wei Jingxuan: "Is this slave still loyal to you?"
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "Although Xianghan's time with me is not too long, I have always tried my best, which can be regarded as somewhat loyal."
"Okay." Concubine Yu responded briefly and said: "Xianghan, today's matter is already difficult to solve. If you are truly loyal, how about taking on all the matters for your master?"
Hearing this, Xianghan was dumbfounded. He subconsciously pointed at himself and said, "Slave, will you bear it?"
Concubine Yu said coldly: "What's wrong? You don't want to?"
Xianghan was reluctant to do so, but she would never dare to say this in front of Concubine Yu and Wei Jingxuan. She thought hard for a while and said cautiously: "Of course I am willing to share my master's worries and relieve you.
But I’m afraid the emperor won’t believe it.”
Concubine Yu said expressionlessly: "You don't need to worry about this. I just ask you, are you willing?"
Xianghan said helplessly: "Slave... I am willing."
Concubine Yu nodded slightly and said to Wei Jingxuan: "Remember, from now on, Xiang Han will make the final decision on everything. You didn't know anything about it until Huang San told you that there was a basket of silver charcoal missing from the warehouse.
Get up, you just found out that Xianghan did such a thing, you were angry and resentful, and you immediately came to me to discuss how to get the problematic silver charcoal back. At this moment, Xiao Wu came over."
Wei Jingxuan repeated it secretly and said: "I remember it, but... will the emperor believe it?" Hongli was not a fool. How could such a major event as murdering the emperor's heir be done by Xianghan?
"Whether you believe it or not, you have to give it a try. This is your only way to survive." After saying this, Concubine Yu added: "While the time is passing by, you'd better think of your words more beautifully, so that I can
It would be nice for the Emperor to have more faith in you."
Wei Jingxuan nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Then, Madam, you..."
Concubine Yu knew what she was going to say and said: "Okay, I will go there with you and testify for you, but I don't dare to guarantee whether this method can pass the test, so I can only hope for myself."
After that, she looked at the uneasy Xiang Han and said, "And you, I think there are still relatives at home. As long as you bear this crime alive, I and Wei Chang will protect your family's wealth and peace of mind in the rest of their lives."
"I know this. I won't talk nonsense." Xiang Han whispered. When Concubine Yu stood up and was about to leave, she suddenly knelt down and said, "My queen, you...can you think of another way?"
?Otherwise...otherwise if Huang San is responsible for this crime, my slave...I don't want to die!"
Before Concubine Yu could speak, Wei Jingxuan knelt down and gritted her teeth: "Didn't you agree just now? What's the matter, now you want to go back on your word?"
"No." Xianghan kowtowed with tears streaming down his face and said, "Slave... I really want to help my master, but I don't want to die. Please let me go. I promise you that I will work harder to serve you in the future. Please
Please spare me this time."
"You!" Wei Jingxuan was so angry that she slapped Xianghan on the face and said sternly: "You greedy and fearful dog slave, believe it or not, I will take your life now!"
Xianghan kept begging for mercy, making Wei Jingxuan more and more angry. Like this, once she goes to Yangxin Hall, Xianghan will tell everything without Hongli asking. What should I do? She seems to be asking for help.
Looking at Concubine Yu, the latter walked up to Xianghan who was crying full of tears, leaned over and said: "Xianghan, do you think nothing will happen if you don't go out and take the blame?"
Xianghan choked with sobs and said: "Slave... I just want to survive. Please, my queen... please, master..."
Concubine Yu nodded and said: "I understand, who doesn't want to live, but sometimes, you can't just think about it. Even if you don't take the blame this time, your master is convicted by the emperor, can you, an accomplice, stay out of it? No.
, you will die the same, and your death will be worse, it may be quartered on five horses, it may be cut in half!"
Xianghan screamed at what she said, "No! I don't want to die, slave!"
