Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, what happened to Wei Xiuyan was done by this concubine. At that time, my concubine was in a state of confusion. She couldn't think about right or wrong at all. She just tried her best to vent the pain in her heart."
Hong Li said coldly: "So Yong Cang has become your target?"
Xia Qing nodded with tears in her eyes, "When I found out about that incident, I felt that my twelfth brother owed Yongxuan his life, so I was confused for a while and did something stupid. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a big disaster in the end."
Mrs. Hu said: "That time I did not kill the twelfth elder brother, which made you extremely unwilling. In order to paralyze me and the queen, you pretended to repent, but in fact you went even worse, using the third elder brother and even witchcraft to harm you. Moreover, your appetite has changed."
You are bigger than before, in addition to the twelfth prince, you also want to harm the queen and the fifteenth prince!"
"No!" Xia Qing said excitedly: "After that time, I really repented and never did anything detrimental to Brother Twelve. These witch puppets have nothing to do with me; they are the Queen, she
Seeing that the emperor has favored me over the past few years, I felt jealous, so I ordered Zhichun to frame me secretly."
"It's ridiculous, the queen is so kind and generous. She is even willing to give you a chance to harm the twelfth prince. How could she do such a thing because of her favor?" After saying that, she bowed to Hongli and said: "Your Majesty, witchcraft
It has always been taboo in the palace, but Concubine Hui used forbidden magic to harm the Empress and her two brothers because of a personal grudge. It is an unforgivable crime!"
"No!" Xia Qing crawled up to Hong Li again and said with tears streaming down her face: "I have never used witchcraft. Your Majesty, you trust me, trust me!"
He Jia also begged Hongli, but the latter's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything for a long time. Wu said from the side: "Your Majesty, there are still many things that are not clear about this matter, why don't you take it easy first?"
Mrs. Hu glanced at her and said coldly: "The three witch puppets were found from Yonghe Palace, what else is unclear?!"
"But..." Before Wu could continue, Hu said again: "Speaking of which, Wu Guiren and Concubine Hui have a very close past. Have you known about this matter for a long time?"
Wu never expected that she would suddenly point the finger at herself. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She was afraid that Hongli would become suspicious, so she quickly said: "I have no knowledge of this matter, so please let the emperor know clearly."
Hongli ignored her, but slowly knelt down and raised his hand to touch the beautiful face covered with tears. Just when Xia Qing thought he was being soft-hearted, Hongli said: "I also want to show you some mercy."
,It’s a pity...I can’t find a reason!”
Hearing these words, Xia Qing's eyes darkened and her ears buzzed. He Jia also heard the killing intent in his words, and her tears fell even more fiercely than before. Seeing that Hongli was indifferent to her pleas, she became ruthless.
He gritted his silver teeth and said, "It's Er Chen. These three witch puppets were made by Er Chen. His birth date and birth date were also seen by Er Chen. If you want to kill me, just kill Er Chen."
Her words finally caught Hongli's eyes, "You?"
"Yes, everything was done by my sons and ministers and has nothing to do with E Niang. Don't blame E Niang wrongly." He Jia was born with a filial nature. When he saw his mother in trouble, he was willing to take her own life!
Xianyue sighed and said: "There is a saying in the book: filial piety is the first of all virtues; but this filial piety does not include foolish filial piety."
He Jia shook his head and said: "No, it was really Erchen who did it. In fact, over the years, Erchen has never forgotten my brother's death. In the paddock, it was clearly the twelfth brother who caused the trouble, but the person who died in the end was
It's so unfair to become an elder brother. Once, I accidentally saw the magic of witchcraft in a book, and I was always angry, so... I followed what the book said and made these three witchcraft puppets."
"Then how do you know the birthdays of me and Yongxu?" Faced with Xianyue's question, Hejia said: "I asked...from E Niang, but E Niang didn't
I knew your intention, but I thought you were just asking casually."
"Okay, since you said that you wrote these three birth dates, how about you tell me which year and month I was born?"
He Jia couldn't answer, but those witch puppets were held by Xianyue again. She couldn't see the words on them at all, so she could only make a few random guesses.
All the answers given by the students in this year are wrong, which is enough to prove that this witch puppet was not made by you, Your Majesty..."
Xia Qing suddenly interrupted her and said: "Your Majesty, I have a way to prove that this witch puppet was deliberately framed by me."
A trace of surprise flashed across Hongli's eyes and he said: "Say!"
"If Brother Fifteen's strange disease is really caused by this witch doll, then after destroying this thing, Brother Fifteen should be cured without any medicine."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is right. If the witch puppet is destroyed and the fifteenth brother is still suffering from strange illnesses, it proves that his illness has nothing to do with the witch puppet."
, someone deliberately took advantage of the fifteenth brother’s illness to use a witch puppet to frame the empress.” While speaking, she kept looking at Xianyue, and her meaning was self-evident.
Hongli hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to Xianyue, "What does the Queen want?"
Xianyue lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, let's wait a few more days. If Yongyan recovers, I believe no one will have anything to say!"
"Okay!" Hongli nodded and said, "I have ordered that the Xia family be temporarily confined in Yonghe Palace, under the watch of the guards, and are not allowed to take a step." After a moment of pause, he said again: "Take down these three witch puppets.
Burn it, remember, you must watch it burn to ashes with your own eyes!"
After Xiao Wu agreed one by one, Hongli glanced at He Jia and said, "Take Princess He Jia to Yi Bi and let her take good care of her."
Upon hearing this, He Jia quickly said: "No! I want to be with E Niang, not to go to Yi Bi's place."
"It's not up to you." After saying that, Hongli walked away. After he left, Xiao Wu said softly: "Princess, you can stay here temporarily for a few days. When the imperial concubine is fine, you can come back naturally."
He Jia was willing to comply and stamped his feet: "I won't go. I won't go even if you say nothing."
Xia Qing stood up with Wu's support and said: "Hejia, listen to the Fifth Manager and go to Yibi's place first." Without waiting for her to say anything, she added: "Don't worry, Eniang will be fine.
"
Under her words, He Jia reluctantly left with Xiao Wu. After she left, Xia Qing said to Wu, "Thank you so much, Lord Lan, for speaking out for me."
Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is what a concubine should do."
Xia Qing nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back too."
"Then..." Wu secretly glanced at Xiayue and Hu not far away. Xia Qing understood what she meant, "It doesn't matter, I just have a few words to say to them."
"Okay then, I'll take my leave." After bowing to several people, Wu also left Yonghe Palace. After watching her step out of the palace door, Xia Qing walked up to Xianyue, clapped her hands slowly and said:
"My Majesty is really good at making me think that I am a yellow bird, but in the end I am a mantis under my lips!"
