"Concubine...Concubine..." Xia Qing also couldn't understand why those witch dolls suddenly appeared in her palace, leaving her speechless. Xianyue? Impossible, she was always in her sight.
, it is impossible to do such a thing, but besides Xianyue... who else would frame herself like this.
As his mind raced, he caught a glimpse of Zhichun standing in the corner from the corner of his eye. The confusion in his eyes suddenly turned into suddenness and coldness. It was her, it must be her!
Damn it, she wanted to use Zhichun to harm Xianyue, but she fell into their trap instead!
Thinking like this, Xia Qing hurriedly pointed at Zhichun and said: "Your Majesty, it's her. It must be the queen who instigated Zhichun to make those witch dolls and then framed my concubine. Do you believe me? I'm really unjust!"
Zhichun was startled, then hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I'm not a slave. I've never done anything."
Xia Qing sneered: "Don't think that I don't know that you often go to Kunning Palace in the middle of the night. I thought you came from there after all, and it was understandable to go and see your original master. Who knew that you actually colluded with the queen to frame her?
I, Zhichun, ask yourself, how have I treated you since you came to Yonghe Palace? Have I ever treated you badly?"
Zhichun hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master transferred this slave from Zhongcui Palace to this place. It can be said that he has given you a new life. It's too late for you to be grateful, so how can you do harm to you." As she said that, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, holding it in her mouth.
Tears said: "If I have done this, I will let you cut your body into pieces and you will not die a good death!"
"You..." Xia Qing was about to say more, but Xianyue had already walked up to her, picked up the three witch puppets covered with silver needles on the ground, and said word by word: "You just asked Zhichun, when
I have treated her badly; now, I would like to ask you, since the third year of Qianlong's reign, how have I ever failed to treat you, and why do you want to use such vicious means to harm me, Yong Cang and the others?"
Xia Qing suppressed the hatred deep in her heart and said with tears: "I should ask you this, why? I no longer have Yongxuan, why do you still refuse me? Do you have to force me into the abyss to be happy?"
?”
Jin Ping came over and said with a look of disgust: "At this time, Concubine Hui still wants to catch the thief. If you hadn't used the witch puppet to curse in secret, how could the fifteenth brother be suffering from strange diseases? How could the master have weak Qi and blood?
I often feel dizzy and uncomfortable; and there is also the twelfth elder brother. When he entered the palace last time, he said that he was almost kicked by a horse. If these witch puppets were not found today, I am afraid that the master and the two elder brothers would really be killed by you.
Killed!"
Xia Qing was secretly annoyed. She ignored Jinping, climbed up to Hongli, grabbed the corner of his robe and cried: "Your Majesty, I am willing to swear on my life that I will never use witch puppets to harm the queen and the others. I am
Unjustly accused.”
"I swear with my life..." Hongli repeated it slowly, and then kicked Xia Qing away under her expectant gaze, with a voice as cold as ice, "It's a pity that I don't believe it!"
At this time, a figure ran in, knelt in front of Hongli, and said while crying: "Huang Ama, my mother...she won't do such a thing, there must be something wrong, do you believe me?"
Mom, it’s really not her!”
"He Jia?" Hongli saw the person kneeling clearly and frowned: "Didn't I ask you to go back? Why are you still here?"
After He Jia left the main hall, she did not go back because she was worried. Instead, she stood outside the hall and listened to the goings on inside. Although she was still young, she also knew that witchcraft was a taboo in the palace. Once E Niang was identified,
Using witchcraft to murder Huang Erniang and the others would inevitably lead to severe punishment, and even... their lives would be at risk, so he hurried in to intercede for Xia Qing.
There was a lot of pain in Hongli's eyes. Xia Qing was his most favored concubine in the past few years. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Xia Qing would do such a thing.
Seeing that Hongli didn't speak, Hejia begged again: "Huang Ama, it's really not E Niang. Maybe..." She thought nervously and said: "Perhaps some palace member has a grudge against Huang E Niang and the others, so
Do the same thing."
"I would like to ask, in the entire Yonghe Palace, except for Concubine Hui, who would dare to do such a treasonous thing?" Following this voice, a pale figure walked in, it was Mrs. Hu.
After bowing to Hongli and Xianyue, he said respectfully: "I just heard what happened outside. There is one thing that I have never told the emperor."
Hongli immediately asked: "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Hu glanced at Xia Qing, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and said: "Since the death of the eleventh elder brother, Concubine Hui has complained to the concubine more than once about the queen and the twelfth elder brother. Although she did not say it explicitly, I
I could hear that she was concerned about what happened in the paddock.
, I have always been worried about her. I thought about the sisters who have been together for so many years. It would be a pity to leave them just now, so I have been trying to persuade them. Now it seems that all my efforts are in vain. She has more than just knots in her heart.
When it is untied, it becomes deeper.”
Hongli interrupted: "How much do you know about Wei Xiuyan?"
Mrs. Hu was silent for a moment and said: "I didn't know this at first. It wasn't until the Empress brought the fifteenth brother back that she told me the cause and effect of the matter, including... the decision to give Concubine Hui another chance."
Hongli glanced at the two of them and sneered: "Okay, you all know it, but you just hide it from me, right? Okay! That's really good!"
Xianyue whispered: "I know you shouldn't hide it from me, but she is A Luo's sister and the mother-in-law of Yongxuan and Hejia. I really can't bear it anymore, but..." She stared at the witch in her hand.
Ou, said in a trembling voice: "I never imagined that in exchange for my good intentions, I would get this!"
"That's enough!" Xia Qing stood up, stared at Xianyue with a ferocious face and said, "If you had missed your sister, Yongxuan and Hejia at all, you wouldn't have treated me like this today; because of you, I
His family was killed by Wei Jingxuan;
Because of you, my son died; do you know how much I miss Yongxuan over the years? Do you know how many days and nights I woke up crying in my dreams? No matter how many years have passed, that kind of heart-piercing
The pain will never go away!”
Xianyue looked at her silently for a long time and said in a deep voice: "You are in pain, so you want me to suffer more than you, right?"
"I don't know. I only know that when I closed my eyes, it was Yongxuan. All I could think about was him. I had no idea what I had done."
Hong Li's eyes twitched, "So, what happened to Wei Xiuyan was really your fault?"
Xia Qing did not answer, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind. With Mrs. Hu helping Xianyue to testify, I am afraid that whether he admits it or not, Hongli will believe it. In this case, it is better to admit it. To put it more sadly, maybe he can still
