With anger surging in Emperor Jing Ming's eyes, he asked solemnly, "Can you deny that you have been kind to Xiao Deng Zi?"
Concubine Xian's expression became more and more calm, and she looked directly at Emperor Jing Ming and said, "The concubine didn't show favor to Deng Zi, but she accidentally bumped into him and wanted to throw herself into the lake. She couldn't bear to let a young servant lose his life because of a lychee."
She said, and folded her hands together, the bare nails couldn't bring pain, only the unfamiliar itch.
Her heart was so nervous that it almost stopped beating, but maybe she was in a desperate situation, but she looked calm on the face.
An all-or-nothing calm.
From Concubine Xian's point of view, a guilty conscience at this time is a dead end, and only by fighting for reasons can there be vitality.
Little Dengzi actually missed.
Murdering the princess in broad daylight may seem daring and reckless, but in fact, such a simple and rude approach can often be fatal in one blow, which is much more effective than a tortuous and euphemistic calculation.
But now that Princess Fourteen is dead, and Princess Fuqing is safe and sound, it can only be said that luck is not on her side.
What's even more unexpected is that when she was kind to Xiao Dengzi, only Xiao Zhuozi, who was with Xiao Dengzi, knew about it. Later, she sealed Xiao Zhuozi's mouth. Why did Pan Hai's apprentice Xiaolezi bump into it
Is it really that Skynet is sparse and not leaking
At this moment, Concubine Xian felt a little shaken and frightened, but she quickly suppressed these emotions and said lightly: "If the emperor regards the concubine's unbearableness as a kindness, then the concubine has nothing to say."
Giving favors everywhere, she can't recognize this reputation.
Emperor Jing Ming couldn't be picky about Concubine Xian's remarks, but his anger was even worse, and he said coldly, "You can't bear it! Since you admitted that you saved Xiao Dengzi because you couldn't bear it, Pan Hai just took you to recognize the corpse. Why do you say you don't know Xiao Dengzi?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Jing Ming couldn't help raising his voice: "You lied in front of me, aren't you guilty?"
Xiao Dengzi is from Chunhua Palace. Originally, Concubine Ning was more suspicious between Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, but Concubine Xian lied when she came, so he could only focus on Concubine Xian.
This woman lied and didn't admit it, she really didn't cry without seeing the coffin!
Concubine Xian's voice also grew louder: "Concubine didn't lie!"
She looked at the Empress, then at Concubine Ning, her eyes finally fell on Emperor Jingming, and said calmly: "Concubines have always been kind to others, but pity that the palace people are not easy to criticize them, and things like Xiao Dengzi are self-inflicted. I don't know how many things have been done since the palace, the emperor asked Pan Hai to lead his concubine to recognize the body of a little maid who had met ten years ago, is it strange that the concubine can recognize it?"
Emperor Jing Ming was speechless for a moment.
However, Concubine Xian still had something to say, looking directly at Emperor Jing Ming and asked: "Is it wrong for concubines to be kind to others? If you treat these palace people as ants, and don't pay attention to their lives and deaths, will they not be as trivial as today? You're full of sass and let others laugh at you?"
Speaking of this, Concubine Xian became excited, covering her mouth with Papa and coughing piercingly.
When she finished coughing, she took a look at the handkerchief and folded the handkerchief into her sleeve in a hurry.
At that moment, Emperor Jing Ming caught a glimpse of a bright red on the snow-white veil.
His heart jumped immediately: Concubine Xian's body is so bad
Seeing the surprise and intolerance in Emperor Jing Ming's eyes, Concubine Xian sneered in her heart.
Xiao Dengzi is dead, and there is no proof of death, who can say that she is the master
How to decide in the end depends on who the emperor believes more between her and Concubine Ning.
Yu Guang glanced at Concubine Ning who was full of resentment, Concubine Xian slightly curled the corners of her lips.
One is murderous, the other is like a gossamer, and she knows too much about the emperor's soft heart.
Emperor Jing Ming was stumped for a while.
The person is already dead, and now two related concubines have been found. Which one is it? If there is no conclusive evidence, how can we draw a conclusion
Emperor Jing Ming's eyes wandered between Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning.
Could it be that he would rather kill them by mistake than let them go, and dispose of both of them
The queen pursed her lips tightly, ready to explode.
This time, the emperor didn't think about messing with the mud. Whether it was Concubine Xian or Concubine Ning, she would definitely make the envoy pay the price.
Fourteen died to save Fuqing. If she could not seek justice for Fourteen and solve future troubles for Fuqing, she would not only be ashamed of being a mother, but also a queen.
Today the emperor dared to be soft-hearted, and she would fight with him.
The tense queen suddenly noticed that someone had touched her sleeve lightly, and when she looked sideways, it was Jiang Xi who was standing behind her at some point.
Jiang Si gave the queen a wink.
The queen understood, silently took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out.
Jiang Si followed and exited.
At this time, everyone's attention was on Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, and they didn't care about the Queen's departure.
Walking to the shelter, the queen asked softly, "What's the matter?"
"Does the queen mother think that it is between the two concubines who instigated Xiao Dengzi?"
The queen sneered: "There is no wind and no waves. Since the two of them are found, who else would it be if they were not between them?"
"Then who do you think is most likely?"
The queen clenched her brows: "It's hard to say. Concubine Xian is kind to Deng Zi, and it is very likely that Deng Zi will be instructed by her in order to repay her kindness. Concubine Ning is the master of Deng Zi, and now Concubine Ning is showing that she treats Deng Zi as a child. The attitude of an ordinary servant, but whether there is a deeper relationship between them, who knows? Concubine Ning has the most convenient conditions to cultivate Xiao Deng Zi as a confidant without being known."
Speaking of this, the queen had a question: "How to ask these?"
Jiang Si said frankly: "Accidents happened one after another in the palace, and innocent people died one after another. My daughter-in-law felt that the person who made troubles was too abhorrent, and she couldn't let that person go unpunished and continue to harm others."
"You're right, today's matter must not be left like this!"
"Daughter-in-law has a way to give it a try."
The queen was stunned: "What can I do?"
"Please ask the second concubine to take a look at the fourteenth princess first, and I will tell you in detail later..."
On Emperor Jingming's side, Concubine Ning was already annoyed: "The concubine did not instruct Xiao Dengzi to kill the princess. If the emperor doesn't believe it, just give me three feet of white silk!"
Concubine Xian smiled bitterly and said, "The concubine can't bear to step on an ant on weekdays, so how could she kill someone? Besides, what is the benefit to the concubine by killing the princess? If the emperor believes that the concubine did it, the concubine has nothing to say and can only let it go. at your disposal."
"You—" Emperor Jing Ming's face was gloomy.
Both are concubines who have followed him for decades. Of course the one who made trouble should be killed, but how could he bear to attack the innocent.
The queen came over: "The two sisters said so, didn't they make the emperor embarrassed?"
The second concubine looked at the queen at the same time.
The queen sighed lightly: "Bengong really doesn't want to doubt either of the two younger sisters. If the two younger sisters have a clear conscience, they can send one to fourteen. That child lost her biological mother, and now she has gone too, which is really pitiful. ."
The Queen's proposal surprised several people.
Emperor Jing Ming couldn't help but said, "Queen—"
The queen flew over with a knife, and Emperor Jing Ming immediately shut up.
