Xiao Chongjun said with a cold face: "Speak clearly."
The palace maid lowered her head and told what happened in detail: "My name is Xiang Lian, and I live in Xiushui Village ten miles away from the capital. Half a year ago, I was offering incense at the Guanyin Temple outside the city and met the fourth prince.
.
He asked if the slave had any sisters. The slave did have a twin sister, but she was abducted and her whereabouts were unknown since she was a child. Her mother had always been concerned about her sister's whereabouts, so the slave told the fourth prince the truth.
The fourth prince said that he knew where the slave's sister was? He brought the slave to the palace and met Concubine Rong. Who would have thought that Concubine Rong would leave the slave in the palace after meeting her.
She used the slave's old mother as a threat and asked the slave to do things for her. She also hid the slave in a secret room so that no one could see her. She also forced the slave to learn the rules of the palace so that the slave could recognize people and become familiar with the terrain of the palace.
Today, Concubine Rong also asked her slaves to bring the third princess to the cold palace under the guise of the Queen's order, and asked her to shout loudly that there was an assassin and attract the guards.
Your Majesty, everything this slave said is true. If there is even half of it that is false, I hope the sky will thunder and strike, please let your Majesty see clearly."
She knelt on the ground and told the whole story clearly and in detail.
Xiao Chengyi took out a stack of paper from his arms, handed it to Xiao Chongjun and said, "This was found in the secret room of Yuxiu Palace."
Xiao Chongjun looked at the things Xiao Chengyi handed over, which turned out to be some portraits and maps of the palace. He had a cold face and a somewhat scary expression.
When Concubine Rong saw that Xianglian had confided everything, she knelt on the ground with a white face and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know her, I don't know what she is talking about? Your Majesty, you have to believe me."
Xiao Chongjun narrowed his eyes and sprinkled the papers in his hand on her: "You still dare to quibble? Do you think that because I love you, you can be lawless?
Today, you used Xiang Lian to frame the third princess. If your conspiracy is not exposed, who do you want to frame next? The Queen?"
He thought his harem was quiet enough, but he didn't expect a beloved concubine to be so courageous. Fortunately, her actions were exposed today and the fake Xiang Xiu was discovered. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xiao Chongjun took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Come here, Concubine Rong framed the third princess in an attempt to provoke a dispute between the two countries. The crime is unforgivable. From today on, her title will be revoked and she will be thrown into the cold palace."
"His Majesty."
Concubine Rong saw that Xiao Chongjun was really angry. She knelt on the ground and hugged Xiao Chongjun's thigh and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
"take away."
Xiao Chongjun turned his head away, showing no mercy.
Among the many concubines in the harem, he loved Concubine Rong the most because she was gentle, virtuous and never caused trouble, but it turned out that these were just illusions.
The guards came forward and pulled Concubine Rong up. She cried and begged for mercy.
At this time, a eunuch hurried over and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the second Miss Lin and the sixth princess fell into the water!"
When Concubine Rong heard that the sixth princess had fallen into the water, she suddenly broke away from the guards and ran over and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Liu? What's wrong with her?"
The eunuch replied: "The Sixth Princess and Miss Lin Er fell into the water. Although they were rescued, their condition is unknown."
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu."
Concubine Rong was a little panicked. She knelt on the ground with a plop, looked at Xiao Chongjun and said: "Your Majesty, all the mistakes are my fault. You ask me to go and see Xiaoliu. If there is anything good about her, I will also do it."
No longer alive."
Xiao Chongjun frowned and said to the eunuch: "Lead the way."
The eunuch hurriedly turned around and led the way, and the group headed towards the imperial garden.
Mu Yun'an was walking at the end, murmuring in her heart, Lin Qingshuang fell into the water, so why did the perfectly good Sixth Princess also fall into the water?
It's good now. Now that Concubine Rong leaves, I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the cold palace.
