Wei Jingxuan said excitedly: "I didn't lie. Concubine Shu did indeed say that. She named me to make that snack. If the emperor and the queen don't believe it, they can send Concubine Shu to come and confront her. Also, what about the banquet?"
She ordered the dishes, and she is the only one who can arrange all this calmly. I am innocent and was harmed by Concubine Shu!"
Xianyue took a deep look at her, then turned to look at Hongli, "Your Majesty, it looks like we have to invite Sister Shu Concubine to come over."
"Okay." Hongli nodded and looked at Sixi, who bowed and left knowingly. Unlike Wei Jingxuan, Yehenala had long expected that Hongli would send him to Changchun Palace, so he didn't wait much longer.
Asked, ordered Chuntao to prepare a shoulder carriage and come with Sixi.
When everyone saw Yehenala, they all had a look of surprise on their faces. You must know that it was March in spring, and Yehenala was actually wearing cotton clothes in the depth of winter. Even so, he was still trembling.
As if it was very cold, I heard her trembling voice: "I have seen the emperor and the queen; I have met the noble concubine."
Hongli looked her over and said, "Concubine Shu also has cold and fever?"
"Yes, I have been feeling uncomfortable since last night. It's obviously a warm and comfortable weather, but I feel hot and cold. When it's cold, I shiver all over. I even feel cold even when I put on my cotton clothes. When it's hot, I feel cold.
I was sweating all over my body and felt drowsy. Later, I asked the imperial doctor to see me, and I realized it was cold and fever.
I don’t know how I got this disease all of a sudden. It’s really strange.” As she spoke, Yehenala tightened her cotton-padded clothes, as if she was in the cold winter. As she spoke, she added: “I don’t know the emperor.
What is the purpose of my concubine coming here? And...why is my concubine kneeling on the ground?"
Wei Jingxuan was so angry that she almost burst out of her lungs. In the past ten years, she had worked step by step and never lost to anyone. Even though Xianyue tried every means to find her fault, there was no escape. This time, she was actually killed by Yehenala.
She was pushed to the edge of the cliff. It was like a thousand years of practice were lost in one day. She should not trust Yehenala at all. When she got through this disaster, Yehenala must repay today's debt with interest.
She swears!
Hongli looked complicated and said: "Yongyun's condition is serious and there is no cure. He has... passed away!"
Yehenara took two steps back pretending to be surprised, and said in panic: "How...how could this happen? I was so sick that I didn't know about this. I just met my ninth brother yesterday. He was so lively and cute, and today...
..." She shook her head with regret, and then said to Mrs. Hu, "Please express my condolences, my dear concubine!"
When Wei Jingxuan saw her coy look, her eyes were about to bleed. She raised her head and said, "The plate of jujube paste and yam cake that I sent you yesterday was made by my concubine. I said some of my brothers liked it, right?"
"
"I?" Yehenara said with a face full of astonishment: "When did I say such a thing to you?"
Wei Jingxuan gritted her teeth and said, "If you hadn't repeatedly told me that my elder brothers like to eat it, how could I have specially made that jujube paste and yam cake?"
Yehenala looked at Chuntao with doubts, "Have I ever said that?"
"No." Chuntao naturally knew how to answer, and said with certainty: "Master, you have never said such a thing. Your concubine must have remembered it wrong."
Wei Jingxuan couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart, and said in a cold voice: "No, I remember clearly, it was you, you deliberately wanted to frame me!"
Yehenala said with a puzzled face: "What on earth are you talking about? One moment you said that I asked you to make date paste and yam cake, and the next moment you said that I framed you. I... I really can't understand a word."
Xianyue said: "So, Concubine Shu doesn't know that eating crab meat and jujube together will cause illness?"
"Concubine, don't..." Yehenala seemed to have thought of something in the middle of her sentence, and said in horror: "What do you mean by the empress, does it mean that the reason why I and the ninth elder brother were infected with cold and fever are all because of
Did you eat these two things at the same time?”
When Xianyue nodded, Chuntao exclaimed: "Master, I remember, you ate these two things for lunch yesterday, and then you started to feel uncomfortable last night."
Yehenala murmured: "How could this happen? How could it happen... Those are just two ordinary things. Why would it be so serious? It's impossible, it can't be."
"Mr. Yehenala, you are still lying now. You have known about this for a long time, so you have repeatedly encouraged me to make date paste and yam cakes to harm the ninth elder brother!" Wei Jingxuan said with a look of sadness and anger: "
That is a living life, and Brother Jiu is still so young, how could you be so cruel!"
"I don't!" Yehenala shook her head vigorously and choked with sobs: "No matter how cruel I am, I will not hurt a child who doesn't understand anything. And...if it is really what I did, I will not
How could you eat those two things at the same time and make yourself sick?"
Wei Jingxuan clenched her hands tightly and said, "That's just a trick on your part!"
"Bitter meat scheme?!" Yehenala said with some excitement: "Who would risk their own life for a bitter meat scheme? Aren't I afraid of losing my life? My concubine, you are really going too far!"
Wei Jingxuan was angry and anxious, and said sternly: "You are the one who went too far. It was you who harmed Brother Ninth. You are the one who killed Brother Ninth and you are the murderer!"
While they were talking, Anlu's lips moved a few times. He remembered that the night before, Yehenala came to specifically tell him that crab meat must be used to make soup dumplings. Could it be... related to this matter?
Faced with her accusation, Yehenala unexpectedly did not refute or scold him. He stood silently for a while, then his legs softened and he knelt in front of Hongli, crying: "Actually... your concubine is right,
My concubine has indeed caused the death of the ninth elder brother, please punish me."
Hongli's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he said in a deep voice: "So, everything my concubine said is true. Did you instigate all this and deliberately harm Yongjue?"
Yehenara shook her head in tears and said: "I have never ordered anyone, let alone wanted to harm anyone, but... those crab meat soup dumplings..." She said sadly: "The night before, Anlu had been killed because of the recent incident.
The crab meat is too thin, so I replaced the crab meat soup dumplings with
Shrimp meat soup dumplings, but I thought that crab meat was delicious and my brothers also liked it, so I had to ask An Lu to make crab meat soup dumplings. If... I hadn't been so insistent at the time, I wouldn't have had such a thing.
If disaster strikes, Brother Jiu will not die!"
"You!" Mrs. Hu stood up with difficulty, the veins on her temples pulsing, and her face was ashen: "Both you and Wei Jingxuan deserve to die!"
Yehenala covered her face and cried sadly. After a while, she kowtowed and cried: "Although I didn't mean it, my ninth brother did die because of me. I am willing to be punished, but
