Before she could finish her thoughts, a cold feeling suddenly came from her forehead. It was Hongli who lifted up her chin. The cold touch came from the thumb ring that Hongli wore on her thumb. "Wei Jingxuan, did you know that just because you framed her?
I can already deprive you of your position as a queen for this crime, let alone your unruly affair with Li Jifeng!"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head hurriedly and said: "No! I really didn't have an affair with you. Li Jifeng said that because he must have been instructed by someone to deliberately frame me unjustly." As she said this, she clutched the corners of Hongli's robe, her face full of tears.
He said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I am innocent, you must make the decision for me!"
Hongli frowned slightly. Could it be that...he had guessed wrong? He denied this idea as soon as it appeared. Judging from what he had discovered through secret investigation, there must be something ulterior between Li Jifeng and Wei Jingxuan.
relation.
"Isn't that what you asked Li Jifeng to ask about Yongxun? Wei Jingxuan, how many things have you done in the past twenty years that I don't know about?"
Wei Jingxuan cried like pear blossoms with rain, and choked with sobs: "Since I received the emperor's grace, I only know how to serve the emperor and do things for the emperor. For the rest, I have never thought about anything, let alone done it.
, why does the emperor always not believe in my concubines? Do you really want He Jing and the others to be unable to hold their heads up from now on for the emperor to be happy?"
When he heard the names of He Jing and others, a trace of hesitation flashed in Hongli's eyes, and then he quickly returned to his previous coldness, "Whether you say it or not, with Li Jifeng's confession, it is enough to convict you of death."
!”
Facing his cold eyes, Wei Jingxuan said with a sad face: "In the past twenty years, I have been accompanying you to give birth to children for you. Isn't it possible that what I said is not as credible as a bodyguard? The emperor keeps saying it.
minister
I lied and said that I slandered the queen, why don't you think about it, the whole thing may be a trap set by others, someone wants to use Li Jifeng's mouth to put my concubine to death!" After saying this, she bowed.
Weeping bitterly on the ground.
After a long silence, Hongli said slowly: "It seems that you really can't cry without seeing the coffin!" Before Wei Jingxuan could understand the meaning of this sentence, Hongli had already shouted: "Come here, pull Qiaoyu down and torture him. In addition,
Go to Yongshou Palace to bring Mao Gui and torture him together!"
When Qiaoyu heard these words, she almost fainted and waved her hands hurriedly: "No! Your Majesty, I don't know anything. I beg you to spare my life!"
At this point, how could Hongli give up because of her begging for mercy? Soon she was pulled down by two strong eunuchs. Not long after, the sound of wailing and screaming could be heard in the distance. Wei Jingxuan heard
I was so frightened that my nails clenched my palms tightly.
In less than a cup of tea, Qiaoyu was dragged in. Her back was bloody and bloody. After just a moment, she didn't even have the strength to kneel down, so she could only lie on the ground, her body full of pain.
The cold sweat came out.
Before Hongli could ask, she reluctantly said, "I really don't know the relationship between Master and Guard Li, but I heard Master and Mao Gui mention Guard Li's name more than once. But every time I asked, they were the same."
She kept a secretive look and did not want to say more; among the many palace residents in Yongshou Palace, the one whom the master trusted the most was Mao Gui, he should know more things." Between loyalty and life, she finally chose the queen.
who.
Hongli glanced at Wei Jingxuan, who looked extremely ugly, and said to Qiaoyu, "What else do you know?"
Now that her face was broken, Qiaoyu had nothing to worry about anymore and immediately said: "After the master gave birth to the Ninth Princess, she was diagnosed by Doctor Wang that she could no longer conceive a dragon fetus, but she forced Doctor Wang not to give birth to this baby.
When I tell you this, I must find a way to give birth to a brother!" After a moment of pause, she remembered something again and was anxious.
Qie said authentically: "Also, the emperor ordered him and the prince to massacre the Taoist priests at Ziyun Temple and force the real person Yun Zhongzi to cast spells for the twelfth elder brother. The master also knew it! It was... the sixth elder brother told the master that the second lady was at that time
Seeing that Prince He ordered the massacre, he was frightened and fled from Ziyun Temple, and told the Sixth Brother about it."
Wei Jingxuan broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. She was afraid that if she continued to talk, she would reveal more about herself. She turned livid and scolded: "Qiaoyu, how can I be sorry for you? Why do you want to harm me like this?" She knew Qiaoyu.
Yu was unreliable, so many things were not known to her, including the matter of Li Jifeng. As for Mao Gui...she had warned her before and believed that she would not
"I didn't harm you, what I said was all the truth." Being interrupted by her, Qiaoyu forgot what she was going to say, and instead kowtowed hard and said: "Your Majesty, I have already said everything I know, and the rest is
I really don’t know, please forgive me!”
At this time, Huang Ying, who was ordered to inform Mao Gui, came in, bowed and said: "To inform the emperor, the people in Yongshou Palace said that Mao Gui left the palace not long ago with the imperial concubine's order and has not returned yet."
Hongli's pupils shrank, he stared at Wei Jingxuan and said, "What did you ask Mao Gui to do?"
Facing his words, Wei Jingxuan looked uneasy and said, "It has nothing to do with my concubine. It was him who said he hadn't seen his family for many days and wanted to see them."
"Nonsense!" Hongli shouted: "Mao Gui is your personal person. How can you let him leave at this time?" After that, he thought about it and said: "Send someone to the Wei family immediately and see him.
Mao Gui immediately took him back to the palace, and also sent people to surround the Wei family and not allow anyone to come in or out!"
Wei Jingxuan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Qiaoyu talks nonsense in order to survive. I can't believe her words at all."
Hong Li said with a deadpan expression: "But now I ask Zhou Minghua to diagnose you and find out whether it is Qiaoyu who lied or you who lied!"
Wei Jingxuan was blocked, gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, it is indeed my fault that I concealed this matter from the emperor, but... I always thought that I might be able to take care of myself in the future and give birth to another child for the emperor.
Heirs, as for Li Jifeng..."
Before she could continue, Hongli said with disgust: "That's enough, I don't want to listen to your sophistry anymore. Someone, come, take your concubine back to Yongshou Palace and send someone to guard her. Without my will, no one can take a step!
In addition, take Qiaoyu to Xinzheku and let the steward there keep an eye on it."
At this moment, Hongli had decided that no matter whether Wei Jingxuan had an affair with Li Jifeng or not, he would not let Wei Jingxuan go!
At Haishi, Huang Ying came back from the palace, but he did not bring Mao Gui back. Mao Gui did go in and out of the Wei family, but left soon and disappeared. He also visited Mao Gui's home, but they all said he had never seen him.
.
After listening to Huang Ying's words, Xiao Wu said softly: "Your Majesty, it seems that Mao Gui was afraid of being implicated by his concubine, so he escaped by leaving the palace."
