Hongli did not expect that she would suddenly say such words. After a moment of shock, he scolded: "Nonsense. Concubine Ying has always been on good terms with the Queen, how could she harm the Queen!"
Yehenala sneered and said: "You know people, but you don't know their hearts; everything you see is fake. Concubine Ying has always been jealous of the queen and wants to replace her and take the position of queen!"
Mrs. Hu said in pain: "Concubine Shu, not only have you not repented, but you are also talking nonsense and want to harm me. Yes, I exposed your trick, so you can only blame yourself for your evil intentions."
, full of conspiracies and calculations!”
Yehenala sneered and said: "I admit that I am not a good person, but you are a thousand times more hypocritical than me. You think that the queen is also responsible for killing the ninth elder brother, and you covet the position of the queen, so you are with me.
Conspired to harm the Queen; the person who most hopes to kill the Queen is not me, but you - Hu Yunyi!"
"Yongjue?" Hongli frowned slightly, with a look of doubt, "What does his matter have to do with the queen?"
Hu was about to explain, but Yehenala stepped in and said, "Brother Jiu died of cold and fever after accidentally taking crab meat soup dumplings and jujube yam cake. Although the emperor punished Wei, Ying
But the imperial concubine still refuses to give up. She hates people like crazy. Your Majesty, you have seen that look before. Is there anything else that she can't think of or do?"
"What's wrong? It's because you deliberately caused harm. You wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Wei Jingxuan, but in the end you killed Yong Yue. You are the murderer and the person who deserves to die!" At the mention of Yong Yue, Hu's emotions suddenly became excited.
At this point, she laughed sharply again: "What's wrong? We've come to this point and you still refuse to admit it?"
Yehenala's eyes flashed slightly, and she denied it: "I didn't, you don't want to put all the charges on me!" At this point, she kowtowed to Hongli and said: "Your Majesty, I know that I am a heinous criminal.
, But in this matter, I did not lie, Yinggui
The concubine was also involved in the plot to kill the queen. In addition to the concubine Ama contacting the ministers and jointly submitting a memorial to the emperor and empress to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain, Concubine Ying's father also contacted several ministers. The emperor only needs to send these ministers to ask,
Then you will know whether what I said is true or false!"
Hongli did not speak, but turned his gaze to Mrs. Hu, who lowered her eyes and said solemnly: "The queen is as kind as a mountain to me. I have never done anything to disgrace the queen. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go and investigate.
"
"Okay!" After saying this, Hongli stared at Yehenala and said, "You said that Hu Yaozong had the role of liaising with ministers to ask the queen to pray for rain. Do you know who they are?"
Yehenala immediately announced several names, all of which were ministers who were quite close to Hu Yaozong. Hongli immediately ordered Sixi to pass on the news. The latter said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the palace gate is about to close at this time. I just
I’m afraid it’s too late…”
Hongli glanced at him and said coldly: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly? Xuan!"
Si Xi quickly left as he was told. He had been with Hongli for many years and understood that what Hongli said meant that the palace gate would be closed later today.
In the gloomy sky, several adults came to the Yangxin Hall, but the answers they gave made the hands and feet of the Yehenala family go cold. They actually insisted that the remonstrance was their own.
Meaning, it has nothing to do with Hu Yaozong.
"Impossible!" Xu Ming roared in disbelief: "It was clearly his advice, how dare you lie in front of the emperor?"
One of the officials said solemnly: "We do have some friendship with Hu Yaozong, but this matter has nothing to do with it. I don't know why Mr. Xu would say such a thing?"
Xu Ming's eyes were red and he said: "You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, you deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"
Yehenala's mind was still somewhat clear. She bit her lip hard and said, "Your Majesty, they must have heard from Concubine Ying and Hu Yaozong in advance, so they said this!"
Mrs. Hu said angrily: "Concubine Shu, you want to tell your lords, and the emperor has already followed your words. Now that their answers are not to your liking, you are slandering me and my father. You are really going too far!"
"You are the one who went too far!" Yehenala said through gritted teeth, "I really didn't expect that you were so scheming that you were able to trick the Queen, me, and even the Emperor!"
Mrs. Hu said angrily: "I have been tolerant to you again and again, but you have gone too far. Do you have to hurt me to be happy?"
The sound of wind came in from outside the palace and fell into everyone's ears. The shadows of trees swayed on the long vermilion windows, like monsters that liked to wander out in the middle of the night.
In the yellowish candlelight, Yehenala suddenly bit her lips hard and kowtowed to touch the cold golden ground, "Your Majesty, I want to summon another witness! If it can no longer be proved that Concubine Ying is related to this matter,
I am willing to take the blame!"
Hongli stared at her for a long time and said coldly: "Do you want to pass on the queen?"
"Yes, now only the Queen can prove that Concubine Ying has evil intentions. I beg the Emperor to grant my request, otherwise I will not be reconciled to anything I say!"
Facing Yehenala's pleading eyes, Hongli's voice was as cold as a blade, "You are not qualified to say the word 'willing' to me, let alone ask me to summon the queen!"
Yehenala knew that she had violated Hongli's taboo this time and it was hard to do well, but she didn't expect that Hongli would be so unfeeling towards her. In his heart, was Xianyue the only one who was qualified?
When jealousy distorted Yehenala's face, she also gave her an excuse, "Yes, I am not qualified, but if I don't find out the matter, Concubine Ying will be an arrow that has never been drawn, and it is uncertain what to do."
When the time comes, he will shoot at the empress, or even the newborn twelfth prince. Is this what the emperor wants?"
Her words made Hongli hesitate. He could ignore anyone but Xianyue and Yunyi... If she was really involved in this matter, she would definitely do it again next time after this failure.
, Thinking like this, Hongli suddenly remembered what Tang Qizhang said when Yong Cang was born. No, he couldn't let anything happen to Xiayue mother and son, absolutely not!
Thinking of this, he called Sixi and said, "Go to Kunning Palace immediately and ask the queen if Concubine Ying has ever asked her about praying for rain."
After Si Xi retreated, Yehenala glanced at Hu with endless hatred. As long as Si Xi came back after asking questions, Hu would never get away. She would not let anyone who harmed her have an easy time!
About half an hour later, Sixi came in from the outside. With Yehenala's expectant look on her face, she called Qian'er and said: "To report to the emperor, I asked the empress according to the order, and the empress said that Concubine Ying has never made any comments.
He asked her to go to the Temple of Heaven with the emperor to pray for rain, but she was stopped several times."
