Xiao Heng's face suddenly became gloomy, and the roaring anger emanated from his body made everyone present shudder and he didn't dare to say anything.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xiao Heng looked around the silent concubines coldly and asked in a deep voice. The uncovered anger in his voice was enough to make everyone feel afraid.
The concubines did not dare to show up and took the initiative to answer Xiao Heng's words.
Finally, Fu Jieyu stood up with courage: "Go back to the emperor, I and my sisters were invited by Concubine Han to enjoy flowers and tea together... I don't know why Concubine suddenly fell down
!”
With Fu Jieyu speaking, the other concubines nodded one after another and said yes.
Xiao Heng knew that they couldn't tell the reason, so he got angry with the palace maids and eunuchs in Han Xianger's bedroom and scolded them for not taking good care of their masters and should be punished for their death!
Lan Xin, the palace maid who had been guarding Han Xiang's crib, suddenly turned around at this time, pointed at Concubine Lu and said loudly: "It's her, she pushed my concubine down the stone steps..."
When Concubine Lu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to respond, Cai Yan, the palace maid next to Concubine Lu, answered first: "You little palace maid, don't slander the concubine!"
Lan Xin had already cried because of Han Xianger's miscarriage, and her eyes were still red and swollen. Now, after hearing Cai Yan say this, she knelt directly at Xiao Heng's feet and said with anger: "Your Majesty, I dare not talk nonsense.
...At the time, my concubine and the concubine were talking near the rockery, but somehow I saw the concubine and my concubine pushing each other. The concubine clearly reached out and pushed my concubine off the stone steps. Emperor, you will do whatever it takes.
You have to make the decision for the Empress!”
When Lan Xin said this, her eyes were filled with tears again.
When Xiao Heng heard Lan Xin's words, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his cold eyes shot straight at Concubine Lu, his voice even colder than before: "You are so cruel!"
Concubine Lu met Xiao Heng's cold gaze, and her heart was panicked, and her mind was in a mess. She shook her head and said, "Emperor, I'm wronged... I have served the emperor for many years, so how could I do such a thing? Your Majesty, you
Be sure to be clear!"
Cai Yan also quickly begs for her master: "Emperor, it's her nonsense that she deliberately puts the blame on the Empress. The Emperor should not listen to her words..."
Before Cai Yan could finish her words, Lan Xin sneered and replied: "Cai Yan, you and I were both standing not far away at that time. It was obvious that Concubine Lu reached out to my master. Do you still want to deny it?"
After Lan Xin finished speaking, Cai Yan was indeed blocked and had nothing to say. Some of the concubines who had long been jealous of Concubine Lu's high and powerful position also took the opportunity to say to Xiao Heng: "Yes, I seem to have seen Concubine Lu treat Han too.
The imperial concubine reached out…”
Concubine Lu never expected that she kindly reached out to help Han Xianger, which would become a handle for being framed. She hurriedly defended herself: "Your Majesty, I stretched out because I saw that Xianger's sister was uncomfortable, so I helped her.
I will never push her down in front of so many people. Please observe clearly!"
"So what the Imperial Concubine means is that my empress will roll down by herself? The empress has always cared about her feet. Will she roll down by herself on purpose?" Lan Xin quickly retorted.
Xiao Heng's face turned cold: "Lu, what else do you have to say?"
