After hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Qi felt like a drowning person who had lost the last life-saving straw. She collapsed on the ground, looked at Hongcha, sighed, and her eyes finally lost their light.
There was silence in the palace.
After a moment, Concubine Qi choked slowly and said: "Hong Cha, you entered the fourth prince's house at the age of eleven. I think you are smart and smart, the youngest, but very reliable and capable in doing things. Over the years, I have asked myself, although there are also punishments,
After all, I have never treated you badly, but today you are trying to push me to a dead end!"
Hongcha also cried and said: "Master, I can't help you! But in the final analysis, all the slaves in the Forbidden City are the emperor's slaves! You did something wrong like this and refused to look back. I really have no choice!
"
She was kneeling when she suddenly got up and was about to hit the wall next to her. Zhang Guiren looked at her and immediately shouted: "Watch out for her!"
The two little eunuchs rushed over and grabbed Hongcha's arms tightly.
At the same time, Su Peisheng brought the skylight up and down, and the maids and eunuchs around Concubine Qi came over. All the servants knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed. They didn't know what had happened. Seeing the appearance of Concubine Qi and Hongcha, they were even more shocked.
Terrified.
Yinzhen said coldly: "Who is Xiaozhu?"
Su Peisheng stepped forward, raised his hands to cover his lips, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, I went a step late. When I arrived, I was already hanging and my body was still hot - I guess I saw what happened.
He committed suicide out of fear of sin."
Yinzhen tightened his lips, and the veins near his temples on his forehead twitched. He stared at Hongcha closely and said: "Drag this palace maid down to the Criminal Division and let me continue the interrogation! Her family members will send someone else to go there.
Ask."
When Concubine Yu saw that the emperor was like this, she knew that she was going to use the same method as Concubine Qi. Even though Concubine Qi's method was terrible, the emperor still wanted to leave some escape routes for the third elder brother Hongshi.
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes and suddenly stood out from the crowd. She came forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and don't let your anger hurt your body. The third princess is the apple of the Emperor's eye, and she has the protection of the Emperor's Dragon Power. Come to think of it."
It won’t be a serious problem! It’s just..."
"Alas!" Concubine Yu raised her sleeves, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "I'm just pitiful for the third princess. The little baby is only a little bit old - it's choked by water, cold, and frightened. It's just a feed.
Fish, you have to suffer such a crime! Sister Chenbi has always been soft-tempered, but now that the third princess has suffered this crime, I don’t know how heartbroken she, the mother-in-law, is! I’m afraid that she will be in the natural world at this moment.
In the picture, I couldn’t bear to cry for a long time!”
As she said this, she turned to look at Xi Bi and said, "We who are niangs will never see such a thing!"
Xi Bin lowered her head, with a sad look on her face.
Concubine Qian did not allow Concubine Qi to breathe at all, and immediately followed Concubine Yu's words and said: "Yes! Concubine Qi, I have been with Concubine Chen for some time. She is a kind person and has always been very respectful to you, let alone
Why are you so jealous of someone who relies on pampering? Killing a daughter is a heart-wrenching act - if you attack the third princess, it will cause her tens of millions more pain than if you attack the concubine directly!"
Yinzhen's eyebrows moved slightly.
The sky outside the palace gradually darkened, and suddenly a thunder exploded on the horizon, illuminating half of the sky. Concubine Qi raised her head, and her eyes slowly passed over the faces of the concubines. Seeing the terrifying expression on her face, everyone couldn't help but look at her.
took a step back.
Almost at the same time, a heavy downpour fell outside with great momentum. It was a rare heavy rain in autumn. The window sash everywhere was shaken by the wind. The maids were running in the corridor, rushing to close the door.
window.
Concubine Qi stood up, pointed at everyone, slowly shook her head and said: "Everyone pushed the wall down! When we went to see the scenery of the Japanese Palace, you sisters screamed so affectionately! I was assassinated by one of you today, you guys
To think that one by one is adding insult to injury, I wish I could be put to death!"
Ulanara frowned and shouted coldly: "Concubine Qi, the emperor is here - life or death is not up to you!"
After she said this, she suddenly saw everyone looking outside the hall.
Yinzhen also raised his head and saw Ji Ling standing outside the palace door. Bixue held an umbrella high for her. The raindrops on the umbrella rolled down like falling pearls, creating splashes of water on the ground.
The queen and the concubines stared at her silently.
Ji Ling turned around and glanced at Bixue. Bixue understood, put away the umbrella, and handed it to Xiao Kezi behind her.
Ji Ling held Bixue's hand and walked in step by step, walked up to Concubine Qi, and looked down at her deeply.
Concubine Qi raised her head and stared at her angrily, and saw that Chen Bi's expression was as usual, but her face was slightly paler than usual, and her clothes were already wet with water splashes.
Yinzhen stood up and strode forward.
When he was in front of Ji Ling, he reached out to hold her hand and asked: "Lingling, why are you here? Is Xi'er awake?"
Ji Ling looked at Yinzhen and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Xi'er has taken the medicine and is still asleep from the time you left till now. Grandma and the servants are keeping watch."
Yinzhen nodded and did not let go of her hand. He just stroked Ji Ling's hair in front of everyone and said with distressed eyes: "Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll be here. There are so many people here, you can
Go back to the palace to take care of her first."
As he spoke, he looked at Bixue and said, "Send your master back."
Ji Ling raised her hand to hold Yinzhen's hand, raised her face to look at him, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Your Majesty cares about Lingling. It's not that Lingling doesn't want to obey and go back, but there's just one more thing. I've been patient for many days. Lingling
In the past, I was humble and did not dare to say anything, but now I have to say it."
Yinzhen said in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Ji Ling glanced at Concubine Qi coldly.
Ulanara's family was beside him, and he felt that Chen's expression today was not the same as in the past. She seemed to be a different person. Although she still had the gentle look on her face, there was a chilling coldness in her eyes, and she felt very sad in her heart.
Feeling vaguely uneasy.
Concubine Qi raised her head and smiled, saying: "Here comes another one who adds insult to injury - Chen concubine, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Ji Ling withdrew his eyes, turned around and said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, my concubine's illness has been nursed back to health by Dr. Di. He also knows best that my concubine is clumsy in speaking and cannot explain medical theory clearly, so I want to
Ask Imperial Physician Di to do it for me and make a representation to the emperor on behalf of my concubine."
Yinzhen frowned and said: "That's right."
Ji Ling turned to face the outside of the hall and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Di, please come in!"
Dean walked quickly in small steps, and when he arrived in front of Yinzhen, he knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Dean from the imperial hospital, see the Emperor, and see the Queen!"
The resentful look on Concubine Qi's face gradually dissipated, replaced by deep fear.
Yinzhen called Dean to get up.
Dean looked around, hesitated a little, and then heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "Just say it here!"
Doctor Di responded repeatedly and stood up.
Ji Ling raised her hand, slowly wiped away a drop of rain that rolled down her temples, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Queen, before Doctor Di says anything, I would like to ask the Emperor to see a few things."
Yinzhen looked at her deeply, nodded and said, "Okay."
