Jin Qiu naturally defended Concubine De: "Concubine De was wronged. Some people want to frame Concubine De. I hope the emperor will tell you clearly."
She knew that it was useless to plead with Mu Ci, and now she could only hope that the emperor would forgive her.
It's a pity that all the evidence is against Concubine De at the moment. Although she, a slave, is anxious, she can't think of any solution.
"I won't shed tears until I see the coffin!" Mu Ci shouted coldly and said in a loud voice: "Bring Yinqiu up."
Zhao Ling's heart beat faster when she heard Yinqiu's name. She knew that Jinqiu was loyal to her and would never betray her, but Yinqiu was different.
Yinqiu's time with her was still short, and if no one was available at that time, she would not have approached Yinqiu.
Yinqiu knew a lot of inside information, and it was not sudden that Mu Ci suddenly came to Yinqiu. After a little research, he would know that Yinqiu had recently been put in a high position by her, and he was doing things for her.
Zhao Ling was unsettled. Now the situation was one-sided, with all the accusations being made against her. She was afraid that Yinqiu would also point the finger at her, which would make it difficult for her to escape this disaster today.
Yinqiu came to the main hall, knelt on the ground, and waited for questions.
"Yinqiu, tell me everything you know. Currently, all the evidence is given to Concubine De, but Concubine De and Jin Qiu both refuse to plead guilty. If you tell the truth, the Aijia will not only save you from death, but also save you from living the crime.
." Mu Ci said to Yinqiu in a pleasant manner.
Yinqiu pondered for a moment, kowtowed three times, and then began to reply: "It was not Concubine De's idea to frame the Queen Mother. It was Concubine Shu and Concubine De who discussed the matter together. Concubine Xian also discussed the matter at that time.
Everyone is present, but the one who contributed the most is Concubine De!"
As soon as she said this, the expressions of Mu Xue and Hua Chang changed.
None of them expected that Yinqiu not only admitted that Zhao Ling was in charge of this matter, but also pulled out the two accomplices.
Dugu Liancheng frowned slightly when he heard Yinqiu's words.
He looked coldly at the three concubines who were kneeling in front of him, then he casually found a vase on the table and threw it over: "How brave! You actually dare to blatantly form gangs, tell me, you deserve it."
Do you have the three titles of Shangde, Shu, and Xian?!"
None of the three women expected that Dugu Liancheng would suddenly attack. Mu Xue, who was kneeling in the middle, happened to suffer a disaster, and the vase fell on her leg.
Because Dugu Liancheng didn't have any spare hands, the blow was naturally so painful that she gasped.
The fragments of the vase were also scattered on Zhao Ling and Hua Chang on the left and right. The two of them did not dare to look at the furious Dugu Liancheng, and they did not dare to express their anger.
Seeing that Muxue had suffered a disaster, Mu Zhi hurriedly defended Muxue: "The confession of a lowly slave is not trustworthy. The emperor is an emperor, and he cannot let the wind be the rain -"
"Come here, throw Mr. Mu out!" Mu Ci suddenly ordered, interrupting Mu Zhi's ramble.
She knew that Dugu Liancheng would not fall out with Mu Zhi now, but Mu Zhi dared to teach the current emperor a lesson in front of everyone, which showed that the last time he was in prison did not make Mu Zhi remember.
"How dare you?!" Mu Zhi laughed angrily.
After hearing the words, Mu Ci stood up, walked slowly to Mu Zhi, smiled lightly and said, "Master Mu, tell me, why don't the Ai family dare?!"
Mu Zhi was shocked by the powerful aura emanating from Mu Ci and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"As Zhongshuling, Mr. Mu disrespects the emperor, which is a great crime of disrespect. As a father, Mr. Mu has no way to educate his daughter. He has raised such a vicious and sinister daughter as Shufei. This is the fault of his father. Ai Jia
If it weren't for your old age, I would have rewarded you with fifty sticks, so that you would not be able to walk out of Yanfu Palace alive today, and no one in the world would dare to blame the Ai family!" Mu Ci smiled coldly.
The best thing to do was to break up with Mu Zhi head-on like this, just to let the emperor see clearly that she and Mu Zhi were not the same people and were incompatible with each other.
Mu Zhi was so aroused by Mu Ci's words that he blushed and became thick-necked. Unfortunately, there was no room for him to refute. As soon as the guards came, they forcibly escorted him into their hands, and finally he was thrown on the ground of Yanfu Palace.
"Rebellion, rebellion..." Mu Zhi was so angry that he had difficulty breathing.
The guards guarding outside Yanfu Palace looked intently, as if they did not see Mu Zhi's embarrassment.
No one cared about Mu Zhi's mood. Until he got up from the ground tremblingly, no one came to help him.
At this moment, Mu Zhi particularly missed his most prosperous time. At that time, the late emperor was still alive, and although there was a regent in Dugu Liancheng, it was his orders that convinced everyone.
How long had Dugu Liancheng been on the throne? His position as prime minister was lost. He is now known as the Zhongshu Ling, but he is not as important as a Shizhong Ling.
When he calmed down at home, he realized that the court situation was completely out of his control.
Mu Zhi was not too far away from Yanfu Palace. He was still waiting for Mu Xue's final result.
He even began to complain that Muxue was not living up to expectations, why he was so restless, didn't cultivate himself well, and started harming others again, and it was Mu Ci who was harmed.
How should we end up being so passive now?
As for Mu Xue in Yanfu Palace, she watched helplessly as Mu Zhi was thrown out of Yanfu Palace, but there was nothing she could do.
She couldn't protect herself, and her father was rejected by Mu Ci. She didn't even know what would be waiting for her next.
If Zhao Ling hadn't been there to clean things up, she wouldn't have lost her temper and attacked Mu Ci. All of this was the result of her carelessness. Who could she blame?
She had already thought of an escape route. If something happened, all the blame would be placed on Zhao Ling so that she would not be affected. But who would have thought that this palace maid named Yinqiu would tell her everything.
Then Yinqiu told all the details, including everyone's division of labor plan and the other concubines involved.
In addition to the three concubines Shu, De and Xian, there were several concubines who also contributed a lot, and Li Cairen was one of them.
Li Cairen once broke up the affair between Dugu Liancheng and Mu Ci in Chenxiang Palace. At that time, she knew that she had been abandoned by the emperor, so she attached herself to Hua Chang.
In fact, Li Cairen hated Mu Ci very much.
She always felt that if it wasn't for Mu Ci, she wouldn't have been in the palace for a year and a half and still be just a small talent.
It was Mu Ci who caused her tragedy, so as long as there was a chance to eradicate Mu Ci, she would naturally be willing to contribute.
When Li Cairen was interrogated, Li Cairen was calm.
She had long thought about what would happen to her if her plan to harm Mu Ci failed, but she would not regret it. Instead of living hopelessly in this harem, it was better to take a gamble.
Unfortunately, she lost the bet and her journey in the harem came to an end.
She admitted everything, just like what Yinqiu said.
In addition, Yinqiu has a lot of evidence, so it will be easy to thoroughly investigate this case.
The three concubines Shu, De and Xian looked downcast, knowing that the situation was over...
