Princess Dun entered the main hall and saluted Li Weiyingying.
Li Wei sat on the precious couch and said, "Tiffany Dun, please excuse me and stand up to speak."
Princess Dun stood up and still stood in the middle of the room, not returning to her seat.
Li Wei used his usual broadcast tone, not slow, not urgent, and said in a steady tone: "Today we have gathered everyone together because we, Princess Dun, have something to tell you. Before you have any doubts, you might as well listen to Princess Dun first. How to say."
Everyone was surprised. They came here not to discuss the throne, but to listen to what a concubine had to say.
Everyone was a little confused, and everyone looked at Princess Dun. Princess Yongjing, who was below, had a high status. At this moment, she said with a smile: "It's not just Princess Dun who wants to say something to us."
Concubine Dun was a little scared, but when the situation came to a head, there was no place to retreat. She had to say: "I am going to expose a person's crime to the Queen Mother in front of everyone today."
"Oh? Who is this person and what is her crime?" Li Wei tried his best to cooperate with Princess Dun.
Concubine Dun pointed her finger at Concubine Jing Gui. Concubine Jing Gui stood up immediately, her lips trembling: "What are you telling me to do? Don't be a mad dog and bite people. I have never done anything immoral." ”
Princess Dun gradually became less nervous and fearful, and her mood became much calmer.
"Your Majesty, do you dare to swear to God that you have done something immoral in your life?"
The noble concubine didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the concubine Dun, but the situation was obvious today. Concubine Dun and the Queen Mother came together in advance. The reason is to throw dirty water on her in front of everyone.
The noble concubine gritted her teeth and said, "I have been able to sit upright and behave upright all my life, so I am not afraid of being slandered by others."
When Princess Dun heard about it, she sneered and continued: "Then let me ask you, do you still remember when you and Princess Qi conspired on the second floor of Wanhua Building in Taiye Pond on February 11 last year?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone rebelled. Who was Mrs. Qi? She joined forces with her son to change the palace, but failed in the end.
Concubine Jing's eyebrows skipped a beat. Now that Concubine Qi was dead without any evidence, she naturally would not admit it, so she insisted: "Are you talking nonsense? When did I conspire with Concubine Qi? What Concubine Qi committed was to murder the Queen Mother. How could I be in cahoots with her."
Concubine Dun expected that Concubine Jing Gui would say this, so she continued: "Concubine Gui Gui refused to admit it. But you never thought that I happened to be in Wanhua Building that day. I heard you discussing the Queen Mother with my own ears that day. Your concubine is ill. You have praised the King of Shu a lot for his bravery and virtuousness. If your concubine is too old to remember, I am willing to help you and Concubine Qi recall what happened that day. I remember exactly what you said."
At that moment, Princess Dun played two roles in front of everyone, and replayed what she overheard that day in front of everyone.
Li Wei sat on it and saw Concubine Dun performing in public, and couldn't help but secretly admire it. It's a pity that Concubine Dun was born in the wrong era. If she had been in that era, with her acting talent, she might have been able to make it in the entertainment industry. Come on.
Concubine Dun perfectly imitated the characteristics of the two of them, including their tone of voice. Everyone else thought they were watching a show. Only Concubine Jinggui's face was ashen. Before Concubine Dun finished speaking, Concubine Jinggui said Then he insisted: "That's nonsense. I, Zheng Xiu'e, have never betrayed the Queen Mother. Please be aware of this."
"Clearly? Can you still be aware of it? Concubine Qi is dead, the King of Shu is dead, and even the Princess of Shu is dead. Where should I go to find out? Concubine, because you are older than me, I respect you in every way, no Thinking of how much hatred you have for me, I just want to ask, what did I do to you in the past? When the late Emperor just left, even though I was the Queen Mother, I was not in good health, so I left all the trivial matters in the palace to you. I rarely even interfere with those who are fully responsible for Mrs. Qi. Is that because I trust you? In the end, my trust in you became a weapon against me? "
The noble concubine knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to boast in front of the Queen Mother, but I think I understand the situation clearly, how could I want to harm you, the Queen Mother? This is It’s a capital crime. It’s not a pity if I die, but it will definitely affect the second son. Prince Ping is my son, so I naturally want him to be safe forever, so how can I involve his future.”
Your Majesty's logic is correct.
Princess Yongjing stood up and said something: "Queen Mother, what the concubine said is true. The truth is this. She doesn't need to take such a big risk."
Did Concubine Qi make the decision alone or was Concubine Jinggui involved? But she did die at the hands of these people last time.
Princess Yongjing added: "Besides, I don't know if there is any dispute between Dowager Dun and Imperial Concubine, but Princess Dun's words cannot cure Imperial Concubine's sins."
Li Wei said: "Is it just Princess Dun's one-sided statement? Then please invite another witness."
The noble concubine was stunned. Are they really going to kill her today? Before she could recover, she saw a woman walking in.
She recognized that person at a glance. She was a capable maid in front of Concubine Qi when she served in Xukun Palace. Ziwei.
However, these people were all driven out with the downfall of Concubine Qi. Why did they appear again? Sure enough, they were all here for her today.
"What is your name and where have you worked before? Please tell me clearly in front of everyone."
Ziwei bowed and replied, "I am Ziwei, the servant of Concubine Qi."
Concubine Jinggui suddenly understood. She immediately jumped to her feet and said: "Conspiracy, conspiracy, this is your conspiracy, you want to harm me."
Li Wei pursed his lips towards Concubine Jinggui and said, "You should recognize that person. I asked you to testify against her today. Do you have any evidence?"
Ziwei took out a letter from her arms and said, "I still have the secret letter between the concubine Qi and concubine Jinggui." She was about to hand it over.
Concubine Jing's face turned purple, and she said like crazy: "It's impossible, there can't be such a thing, it's all you who framed me, and you did everything possible."
Li Wei took the letter and said, "You guys really have a deep love for each other as sisters. Do you want me to read this letter in front of everyone?"
The noble concubine almost couldn't stand still. She suddenly fell down on the carpet, and then pleaded hard: "Queen Mother, I have also been deceived by Concubine Qi. I was plotted by her. Back then Qi When the concubine was targeting the Queen Mother, I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on going her own way. Furthermore, I had been cooperating with the Queen Mother to let the King of Shu and their crimes be exposed. If I really wanted to harm you, I would have taken action at that time. ah."
