Yehenara said angrily: "Wei Jingxuan, how can you slander me like this? You said that I knew that crab meat and jujube would cause cold and fever at the same time? Okay, then you can tell me, I
Have you ever stopped Yongyong from eating these two things?"
Hu and Yehenala were sitting at the same table at that time. After carefully recalling the situation at the banquet, Yehenala had always let Yongyun eat without any obstruction.
At that time, I would say a sentence or two.
Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Why stop me? As long as I tell Brother Ten before the banquet, he will naturally not touch any of the things."
"You!" Yehenala was so angry that her hands and feet were trembling, and she was speechless for a long time. Xianyue glanced at the two of them and said: "Your Majesty, they say that children's words are unbridled, and young children are the most innocent and flawless.
If you don’t know how to lie, why don’t you tell Brother Ten to come over and ask?”
Hongli nodded and ordered Sixi to bring Yongyong over. Yongyong was woken up in his sleep and brought him. Until he stood in front of Hongli, he was still a little confused and kept rubbing his groggy eyes.
Yehenala grabbed his hand hard and said eagerly: "Yongyong, tell your emperor, did your mother-in-law tell you not to eat anything yesterday?"
Yongyong was still sleepy, and what Yehenala said was unclear, so he couldn't understand it. He half-squinted his eyes and said, "Mother, I'm so sleepy, and I still want to sleep!"
"Don't sleep!" Yehenara increased the strength on his hands and said anxiously: "Speak quickly, tell me!"
Yongyong's hand hurt from being pulled by her, and he struggled and cried: "Mother, you are hurting me, let go!"
Xianyue frowned and said: "Concubine Shu, you scared the tenth brother, it's better for me to ask him." Then, she waved to Yongyong and said: "Come, come to Huang's mother."
As soon as Yehenala let go, Yongyong ran to Xianyue with a scared look on his face. It seemed that he was really frightened. Xianyue stroked the red mark on his hand and said softly: "Yongyong, you are
Don’t you like the puppet show you watched yesterday?”
Hearing this, Yongyong's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "I like it, Huang Eniang, when can I see you again?"
Xianyue smiled and said: "If you like it, Huang's mother will let them perform again after a while, but before that, you have to tell Huang's mother something first." After Yongyong agreed, she continued:
"Before yesterday's banquet, did your mother-in-law tell you which dishes you were not allowed to eat?"
Yongyong tilted his little head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, E Niang has never told Er Chen about this."
His answer made Yehenala secretly sigh in relief. Fortunately... Fortunately, Yongyong didn't like the fishy smell of crab meat and wouldn't touch the plate of crab meat soup dumplings without her instructions. Otherwise, this time it would really be a big move.
Smash yourself in the foot.
"Impossible, Concubine Shu must have said that. Brother Ten is lying!" Wei Jingxuan's sharp voice frightened Yongyong into Xianyue's arms and timidly said: "Empress Huang, why is your concubine so fierce?
Did I say something wrong? Also, why is my mother kneeling on the ground?"
"No." Xianyue put down Yongyong's sleeves and said, "Okay, let's go back with grandma. If you're still sleepy, just sleep a little longer."
Looking at Yongyong being carried away by her grandma, Wei Jingxuan said unwillingly: "Madam, Brother Ten is clearly telling lies, why don't you continue to ask..."
Xianyue interrupted her coldly, "My concubine thinks that I am so confused that I can't tell whether a three-year-old child is telling lies?"
Wei Jingxuan bit her lip and said in a low voice: "I don't dare, but I..."
"That's enough!" Hongli suddenly stood up and stared at her with an ugly expression: "This incident happened because of you, and Yongyi died because of you. Not only do you not regret it, but you also slandered Concubine Shu, insisting that
She ordered you to do what you did, you deserve to die!"
"No! No! All of this is Concubine Shu framing me. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you believe me?" She crawled over, grabbed the corner of Hongli's robe and begged, but was kicked to the ground by Hongli, "
I don’t want to hear your sophistry anymore!”
Mrs. Hu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Wei Jingxuan has committed a heinous crime by killing Yong Yue. He should be punished by Ling Chi and die!"
Wei Jingxuan was shocked. She didn't want to die, let alone be killed by Ling Chi. She had overcome so many difficulties in the past, and she must not die this time! Besides... if she died, how would she take revenge on the Yehenala clan!
Now, because of Yongyun's confession, Hongli has concluded that Yehenala is innocent. If he bites her again, it will only make Hongli even more disgusted and make his situation even more unfavorable.
Thinking of this, she reluctantly got up, crawled to Hongli's feet with difficulty, and cried: "Yes, I deserve to die. I should not have wronged Concubine Shu. In fact, I didn't want to, but... I was all
People are so stupid that they have no idea what they are talking about and just want to clear themselves of suspicion."
"What happened to the ninth elder brother was really an accident. I never wanted to harm anyone." She said sadly: "Ever since I met the emperor, I have been happy with the emperor's happiness and with the emperor's worries.
Out of worry, how can I bear to make the emperor sad?" At this point, she took a deep breath, wiped her face carelessly, and choked with sobs: "If the emperor still thinks that I deserve to die, please give me the death penalty."
Before Hongli could say anything, she added: "Actually, it's okay. If you die... I can go and accompany those poor children." At this point, she suddenly laughed and said sadly:
"Concubine Ying's child has died, and I have to apologize for it. Then, if my child has died, who should I go to to apologize for it? Or, in the heart of the emperor, they are simply... not important at all!"
Her words made Hongli's originally cold and ruthless eyes soften. Sadness, pity, and sympathy were intertwined in his eyes, making it complicated and difficult to describe.
Xianyue saw that Hongli was soft-hearted, and when he was about to persuade him, Hongli already said: "Wei Jingxuan, the ninth elder brother fell ill and died because of eating the jujube paste and yam cake you made. He should have been given death, but I didn't miss you intentionally."
For doing evil, I will spare your life, your title will be revoked, and you will be reduced to a promise. You will be imprisoned in the Yongshou Palace, guarded by the imperial guards, and no one will be allowed in or out!"
Wei Jingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this treatment was not a light one, it was a good thing that her life was saved. As long as she has this life, she will definitely make a comeback in the future!
"No!" The speaker was none other than Madam Hu. She gritted her teeth and said: "Wei Jingxuan killed Yong Yue. How can she just be reduced to a promise and deserve to be tortured to death?"
"She didn't mean it..." Before Hongli finished speaking, Mrs. Hu said sharply: "With just a small sieve, the emperor decided that she didn't mean it. Isn't it too childish?!"
