Chapter 833 Confrontation in the Palace of Mental Cultivation
Concubine Yu solemnly said: "You will definitely die. The only difference is whether you will die alone or whether your family will die together. Xianghan, time is running out. You should think carefully."
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace just now walked in again and said hesitantly: "Master, the Fifth Eunuch..."
Concubine Yu knew what she wanted to say, and immediately said: "Okay, I and Wei Chang are here and go out." After that, she walked out first, and behind her, Wei Jingxuan pulled up the crying Xianghan.
, gritted his teeth and said: "Think carefully, if your family is involved in death, don't blame me for not warning you in advance; as for now... quickly wipe away your tears and follow me out."
Xianghan endured the panic and fear in her heart, wiped away her tears and followed Wei Jingxuan out. Xiaowu was already waiting outside impatiently. When he saw them coming out, he immediately said: "Wei Chang is here, let's go quickly, the emperor is still waiting."
"
Before Wei Jingxuan could agree, Concubine Yu already said: "It just so happens that I also want to see the Emperor, so I might as well go there with you."
Although Xiao Wu was a little strange about this, he would not object. He responded and led them all the way to the Yangxin Hall. No one said anything along the way and walked silently; however, when they were halfway there,
Wei Jingxuan suddenly covered her mouth and retched. Xiao Wu stopped and asked, "What's wrong with Wei Changzai?"
Wei Jingxuan stroked her chest and said, "It's nothing. I think I ate something bad and my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable these past few days."
Xiao Wu nodded and was about to continue walking forward when Concubine Yu suddenly said: "You said this situation has been going on for several days. Have you asked an imperial doctor to take a look?"
Huang Sanyan said: "Actually, when the master came here just now, he had already vomited once, and it was like retching."
Concubine Yu bit her lip slightly and said: "Since you are not feeling well, it would be better to ask the imperial doctor to take a look. So, Dongmei, please immediately ask the imperial doctor Zhuang to go to the Yangxin Hall."
Wei Jingxuan declined and said, "There's no need to worry, Madam. It's just a trivial matter. It doesn't matter."
After signaling Dongmei to leave, Concubine Yu whispered in her ear, and the latter's pale face flushed with joy, and she trembled: "Are you serious?"
Concubine Yu whispered: "I am not sure. If it is true, then God will really help you this time."
Wei Jingxuan nodded vigorously and followed Xiao Wu all the way to the Yangxin Hall. At this time, Zhuang Zheng had not arrived yet. They crossed the knee-high threshold and entered the hall. As soon as they entered, they saw Hongli with a gloomy face.
Sitting behind the imperial desk, Xianyue and Xia Qing stood on either side. In the hall, there was also a basket of silver charcoal.
After everyone bowed, Hongli stared at Xiao Wu and said coldly: "Why have you been gone for so long? Also, why is Concubine Yu here?"
Xiao Wu quickly said: "Your Majesty, when I went to Yimeixuan, Wei Changzai happened to go to Xianfu Palace. Although I rushed there immediately, I still wasted a lot of time. As for Concubine Yu..."
Before he could continue, Concubine Yu took over and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Changzai just talked to me about something. I thought it was important, so I came with Wei Changzai and invited the emperor.
Forgive me."
Hongli nodded, turned his gaze to Wei Jingxuan, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know the crime?"
Ever since she came in, Xianghan's legs had been trembling, and she kept praying in her heart, hoping that Hongli would summon Wei Jingxuan, and it wouldn't be about Yin Tan, but now... this time, she would definitely die.
Just when Xianghan was frightened and about to die, Wei Jingxuan suddenly knelt down and said: "I know that I am guilty, please punish me!"
Wei Jingxuan's words were beyond everyone's expectations. Even Concubine Yu was shocked. What they had discussed before was obviously not like this, so why did it suddenly...
Xiayue and Xia Qing also looked at each other in surprise. According to their guess, Wei Jingxuan should have denied it in every possible way. Why did she just ask and then confess? It was really not in line with Wei Jingxuan's temperament, and... she seemed like something
Everyone knew it, but after coming in, there was not even a trace of surprise. What on earth is going on?
Hongli slammed the desk hard and said sternly: "So, you admit to murdering the dragon fetus in Xia Guiren's belly?"
Wei Jingxuan looked at him with tears in her eyes and cried: "Although I was not the instigator of all this, I did cause it, so I am willing to plead guilty."
Hearing this, Concubine Yu was the first to understand that Wei Jingxuan was planning to retreat in order to advance. This method was more risky than her previous plan, but it was indeed better, but whether she could win Hongli's trust was still unknown.
Xianyue said in a cool voice: "Wei Changzai, what do you mean when you say you are not the envoy?"
Wei Jingxuan wiped her tears and said: "To return to the queen, when I ordered Huang San to get the silver charcoal today, I found that a basket of silver charcoal was missing from the warehouse. After asking, I found out that Xianghan had taken it away. I, the concubine,
Feeling strange, he asked her what she was taking it for. She refused to tell her before. Later, after asking again and again, I said she was taking it to Cuizhu.
These days, Cuizhu was careless and often violated what I said to the concubine. The concubine kicked her out in anger. Guiren Xia happened to be there at that time. The noble Xia felt that the concubine was treating Cuizhu too harshly, so he sent her out.
After scolding him, he took Cuizhu back, and since then, Cuizhu has been staying in Yihua Juzhong."
Xia Qing said coldly: "Not only did you drive Xia Qing away, you also sent her to the Criminal Punishment Department privately. As for why you hate Cuizhu so much, it's not because she was careless, but because she accidentally harmed you.
My plan."
Wei Jingxuan looked confused and said: "What is Mr. Xia talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"
"You once ordered Xianghan to mix my anti-fetal medicine in the imperial kitchen, hoping to harm the dragon fetus in my belly. Cuizhu accidentally discovered that the medicine bowl was different, and said a few words, which happened to be overheard by Su Qiu,
This aroused vigilance and prevented your evil plan from succeeding. Since then, you have hated Cuizhu so much that you want to get rid of it."
Wei Jingxuan quickly denied it and said with a look of fear: "No, there is no such thing. I have never done such a thing."
Su Qiu interjected: "The green bamboo is here, does Wei Changzai still want to deny it?"
Wei Jingxuan ignored her and looked at the gloomy Hongli and said: "Your Majesty, everything I said is the truth and I did not lie. If such a thing really happened, why didn't Xia Guiren come and tell the Emperor immediately?
?Does it have to wait so long to mention it?”
Hongli's eyes moved and fell on Xia Qing, who hurriedly said: "I have thought about saying something, but there is no evidence other than the bowl of medicine. I also think that harmony is the most important thing between sisters.
So I endured it, hoping that Wei Changzai could
I woke up, but I didn’t expect that not only did she not wake up, but she even got worse and came up with more sinister ways to harm my concubine’s children. Wei Changzai’s behavior really made me intolerable and decided to expose her evil deeds.”
