Wei Jingxuan slowly raised her eyes and said calmly: "The emperor is the king of a country. How dare I blame you? I only blame myself. I trusted the wrong person and ended up in this situation."
Her words moved Hongli's heart. In fact, long before Yehenala was sentenced to death, he had already learned from Yehenala that Yongjue was the victim of her murder. Wei Jingxuan also fell into her scheme and became a murderer inexplicably.
, it was really unfair. He had thought about releasing his restraint. He had spoken to Mr. Hu, but Mr. Hu firmly opposed it, so he never issued the order. Now when Wei Jingxuan talked about it, he felt a little guilty.
Li Jifeng was worried about Wei Jingxuan's safety and hurriedly said: "I have been ordered by the emperor to guard the Yongshou Palace. Not only to ensure that Wei promised not to leave the Yongshou Palace, but also to protect his safety. If I see Wei promised not to be attacked by the divine crow, I will not
Rescue, that’s the real damn thing!”
Hongli glanced at the two of them and said to Sixi: "Bring the Wei family back to Yongshou Palace. As for Li Jifeng... let Liu Hu imprison him until I find out what happened before I deal with it."
"My slave obeys the order." When Sixi agreed, a trace of disappointment flashed across Wei Jingxuan's eyes, but Hongli... still refused to let go and spared her grounding.
Such a pity dissipated in just a moment. Compared with the previous half year, things were much better now. The opportunity had appeared. She believed that it would be a matter of time before the ban was lifted, and she could even be restored to her position as concubine.
However, compared with this, she is more concerned about this matter, whether she can pull Zhou Quan and Xianyue out from behind him. If this is the case, it will be really happy.
When Wei Jingxuan and the others were about to be taken down, Xiao Wu said: "Your Majesty, when I went to the Yongshou Palace, I found that the maid of the Yongshou Palace, Xiangju, fell to the sky in order to avoid the attack of the divine crow, injuring the back of her head. Waiting for the slave,
When she was found, she was already dead."
Hearing this, Wei Jingxuan sneered in her heart. Finally, Mao Gui was quick to kill Xiangju before Xiao Wu, otherwise things would be in trouble.
Naturally, she would not show any of this to anyone. She stared at Xiao Wu with a look of horror on her face and said, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Xiao Wu lowered his eyes and said: "If Wei Wei promised, Xiangju... died unfortunately."
"No!" Wei Jingxuan staggered back and murmured: "Xiangju was fine before, how could he die? This is impossible..." As she said that, she grabbed Xiao Wu's sleeve and said eagerly: "
She must still be alive, please ask the doctor to see her quickly, I beg you, save her, save her!"
Xiao Wu sighed and said, "I understand how Wei promised, but I checked very carefully. Xiangju... is indeed dead. Please ask Wei to express my condolences!"
"No, she can't die!" Wei Jingxuan said excitedly: "Since being grounded, I have only had her and Mao Gui. She said she would stay by my side to serve me all her life, how could she die!" With that said,
Tears kept falling,
Like a broken pearl, it makes people feel pitiful. She covered her face and sobbed: "It was me...it was me who killed Xiangju. That person used lily of the valley fragrance to attract the crows to go crazy. He wanted to harm me.
In the end, Xiangju died on my behalf, she...she was so pitiful."
Seeing her like this, Li Jifeng felt pity for her and wanted to comfort her, but Hongli and Sixi were nearby. To avoid arousing suspicion, he could only suppress this thought.
Hongli looked at Wei Jingxuan silently for a long time, and then he said: "This is Xiangju's fate and disaster. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself."
Wei Jingxuan slowly put down her hand, raised her tear-stained face and choked: "Maybe... the queen is right not to like me. I am like a disaster star, always bringing disaster to people around me. The queen, Ninth elder brother, Xiangju...I am afraid that I will never be able to pay off the sins I have carried on my concubine in this lifetime."
Li Jifeng couldn't help but said: "Wei promised not to harm them, so why should he blame himself?"
Wei Jingxuan did not speak, but kept crying. Hongli sighed and waved, "Take them down, and take Xiangju's body for burial outside the palace."
Although the Yongshou Palace was attacked by crows not long ago, it had already spread in the palace. It was so strange that it made the palace people curious. They took advantage of the opportunity to sneak over and take a look, wanting to see what was going on inside. But they had no choice. Guards were guarding the palace, and the palace door was closed tightly. Nothing could be seen except the blood and crow feathers that had not been washed away on the ground.
Qiao Yan'er was also among them. After returning to the Forbidden City, she was not able to stay with Xianyue as she wished. Instead, she was assigned to work as an errand in the inner treasury, responsible for recording everything that went in and out of the inner treasury.
This arrangement made her very depressed. How could she take revenge when she was so far away from Hongli and Xianyue? For this reason, she had begged Xianyue several times, but the latter had already made up her mind and refused to let go no matter what she said.
During the days when she came to Neiku, Qiao Yaner had been thinking about how to return to Hongli. As for Xianyue... she had already seen that Xianyue had doubts about herself, and it was impossible for her to go back, even if she reluctantly went back. She must be on guard in every possible way, making it difficult for her to take action.
"Sister, who lives in Yongshou Palace, and why are there guards guarding it?" Qiao Yan'er asked Dong Xiu, the palace maid who came with her.
Dong Xiu said: "You have just entered the palace not long ago, so you don't know that the one who lives here is Wei Yaosheng. She used to be a palace maid like us, but later she became favored by the emperor. In addition, she had a good belly and got pregnant several times. She gave birth to a little princess and became the empress of the Yongshou Palace. However, because she was related to the death of Brother Nine, she was deposed by the emperor and imprisoned here. Speaking of which, it should have happened before the southern tour. Since then, the Yongshou Palace has been as deserted as a cold palace. No one wants to come. Who would have thought that something like this happened this time. Although there are many crows in our palace, we have never heard of them attacking people. It is really evil. !”
Qiao Yaner said in confusion: "Sister said that Wei promised to get pregnant several times, but why did he give birth to a little princess?"
"This Wei promised a good or bad life. He got pregnant three times and had two miscarriages. Only once did he give birth to a little princess, but he died in less than two months. Do you think it is? Isn't it bad luck?" As she said that, she said mysteriously: "Also, I heard that the Queen doesn't like Wei Yaosheng very much."
Qiao Yan'er's heart moved and she asked: "Don't like it? Why is that?"
"It seems to be because of Concubine Hui. When it comes to fate, Concubine Hui is the one who is really good. She used to be a palace maid like Wei promised. Now she is not only the fourth concubine, but also has a prince. She is really good. It makes people jealous." Before she finished speaking, Dong Xiu suddenly patted her arm and said, "Look, that's Wei's promise."
