Everyone was shocked. Concubine Liu finally couldn't stand it anymore and stared at her: "Xier, you..."
Liu Xi'er didn't dare to look at her. Concubine Liu's pressure for more than ten years made her involuntarily afraid. But this matter had already begun and she couldn't stop, otherwise she would die even more miserably.
So she leaned down and said to Princess Zhao in a more respectful manner: "My dear, forgive me, I did not do anything to save the prince. This snake was released by my aunt, but it was because of me that the prince suffered this unreasonable disaster."
"
"Nonsense!" Concubine Liu was really panicked now, her face was distorted, and she screamed, "Did you fall in love with the prince, and that's why you let Lao Peng do such a thing? I'm obviously already looking at you.
We're getting married, why aren't you satisfied?"
Xu Yin sneered: "Why, the concubine will not continue to show the love between master and servant? Just now, we asked us to let him go, and now we are putting the blame on him. Your master-servant relationship is nothing more than that!"
Concubine Liu glared at her: "You! Princess Yong'an, how did I offend you? You did not hesitate to bribe Xi'er to harm me!"
Xu Yin laughed: "You plotted against my brother and wanted to harm my mother-in-law. Why did you offend me? Concubine, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."
"When will I harm your mother-in-law?!" Concubine Liu asked sharply.
Xu Yin immediately asked: "So you are really plotting against my brother?"
Concubine Liu opened her mouth, but couldn't answer for a moment. She calmed down and said, "Princess Yong'an, you are so sharp-tongued that you use your words to bully me, a widowed old woman? Why is this!"
Du Ming was unhappy when he heard this: "Ms. Princess, you are bullying the princess, right? We use evidence to speak, only the facts, but you slander the character of the princess. Does it matter whether you are a widowed old woman or not? What does the truth have to do with it?
What I’m asking now is, have you plotted against the prince, and why are you talking here and there? Are you pretending to be pitiful to get things over? Don’t use this palace trick in front of us!"
Concubine Liu had been enjoying herself for a long time, but today she was scolded like this by a soldier. She was almost dying of shame and anger. She couldn't help but look at Yan Cheng and prayed: "A Cheng, you believe me, I won't harm you."
Yan Cheng's eyes flashed and he opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Yin took over the topic: "Of course you didn't harm him, you just wanted him to have a concubine. How can you call it harm?"
Concubine Liu had nothing to say, she could only cover her face and cry: "I...If this is the case, then I can only prove my innocence by death!"
With that said, she was about to hit the pillar.
The maidservant of the palace next to him was shocked and hurried to pull him away.
Yan Cheng even blurted out: "Auntie!" Seeing her being held back by the palace attendants, he added, "Auntie Liu, if you have something to talk about, you can't solve the problem!"
Concubine Liu also tried to hit the pillar, covered her face and cried: "Although I am not a noble person, I am still innocent. If I am humiliated today, how can I have the face to see the late emperor? Late emperor! I shouldn't be greedy.
I was afraid of death, I should have gone to accompany you long ago!"
Xu Yin wanted to sneer again. She really was a shrew in a three-piece suit. She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself three times. Concubine Liu was no different.
Before she could open her mouth, a deep shout sounded in the hall: "That's enough!"
Concubine Liu was so frightened that she stopped crying. She looked up and found that the one who stopped crying was actually Concubine Zhao.
Princess Zhao, who always greeted people with a smile, sat silently at this moment. She had been sitting like this for a long time. She had not spoken a word since Xu Yinli gave evidence.
She has always been good-tempered and easy to talk to, but everyone actually ignored her.
At this moment, Princess Zhao's face was as dark as water, and she finally showed her majesty - although King Zhao was not here, she was actually the most noble person in the entire capital.
Princess Zhao glanced at Liu Xier: "You continue."
Liu Xi'er restrained the fear in her heart and said tremblingly: "Yes."
She calmed down and continued: "Since returning to the palace, my aunt has repeatedly said that I must enter Prince Zhao's Mansion. Although I can only be a concubine at the moment, in a while, I will be a nobleman. The Crown Princess is still
I’m not pregnant yet, but if I can get ahead of myself, my future will be extremely valuable..."
Mrs. Xie's face turned pale and she looked at Concubine Liu in disbelief.
Liu Xier took a breath and continued: "I didn't dare to disobey my aunt. When the princess and the princess wanted to marry me, I was very happy and thought I had a chance to get rid of this matter. But my aunt didn't want to, so...
...I thought of this method. In this way, I have a life-saving grace for the prince, and the marriage can no longer be discussed. The prince is a person who values friendship and will definitely accept me..."
Her tears fell down, and she kowtowed and cried: "Princess, in fact, the prince has no intention of me. It was me who said that I had something to tell the prince, and I couldn't let others know. That's why the prince followed me to the Liu family's tomb and sent him away.
.From the beginning to the end, the prince is innocent and was calculated by us."
After saying these words, there was silence in the hall, except for the sound of Liu Xi'er sobbing.
Yan Cheng looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Then why did you say it?" Princess Zhao asked, "I have obviously allowed you to come in."
"Because my conscience can't bear it!" Liu Xi'er cried. "The prince has been unfairly wronged, but in order to preserve my innocence, he did not speak up to defend himself. I... really can't feel at ease."
When Xu Yin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Liu Xi'er had an inextricable fight with her sister in her previous life. How much talent did Liu Xi'er have? Look at what she said. She was obviously coerced, but she said she was so innocent and kind.
She defended Yan Cheng every word. Even if there was no supporter of Princess Liu in the future, both Yan Cheng and Xie would have to defend her to some extent based on her performance today.
Fortunately, she took action now. If Liu Xier was allowed to hang out in the back house for a few years, it would not be so easy to control.
"Is there any more?" Princess Zhao continued to ask.
"Yes..." Liu Xi'er paused and looked towards Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu had a premonition of something, her liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and she shouted sternly: "Xi'er!"
But Liu Xi'er would not listen to her anymore, and turned around and continued to report: "My aunt asked me to enter Prince Zhao's Mansion, of course, not only to make me rich and powerful, but also to hope that I would be harmonious inside and outside, so as to alienate the mother-son relationship between you and the prince. Over time,
, she can take your place."
After saying these words, not only did Concubine Liu's face gradually lose color, but Yan Cheng also looked at her in disbelief.
"No, it's nothing!" Concubine Liu shook her head desperately and refused to admit it, "Sister Dong, believe me, I really didn't..."
Liu Xi'er said quietly: "My aunt said that when she was in charge of Phoenix Seal, you were still eating sand in the northwest! Now you have caught the glory of King Zhao and climbed onto her head. The more kindness you show to her, the more she will
I feel more and more humiliated. I think back then, if Mrs. Liu hadn't wanted this marriage, it wouldn't have been your turn."
The ugly thoughts were revealed frankly, and Concubine Liu was extremely embarrassed and shouted: "You damn girl, what are you talking about!"
But she no longer believes her. After all the personal and material evidence has been presented, and then Liu Xier, the person closest to her, exposes her, who will still believe her?
Concubine Liu could only turn to Yan Cheng for help.
Yan Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Mother, even if the concubine is wrong in all her ways, it is best to do this in an ugly way, otherwise others will say that we have failed the late emperor..."
"Okay, I understand." Princess Zhao said calmly, "You all go out, I will talk to the concubine alone."
"Mother!" Not only Yan Cheng, but also Xu Yin and Xie called out. With Concubine Liu looking so crazy, how could they be left alone?
But Princess Zhao had made up her mind and raised her hand to reveal the hidden weapon hidden in her sleeve: "A Cheng, have you forgotten that there were often assassins when you were a child? After being in Ansheng for many years, you think I am incapable of restraining a chicken.
"
This was really beyond Xu Yin's expectation. In this case, she would not mind her own business.
"Mom, you can take care of yourself. Just give me a shout if you need anything." After saying that, she winked at Du Ming and led the rest of the gang out neatly.
Yan Cheng hesitated for a moment, but Xie pulled his sleeve, and he turned around and went out.
