Murong Ci looked at Concubine Baili Hui with a little sympathy in his heart, however, killing is killing, and the law of the country cannot tolerate it.
Concubine Baili Hui knelt at the feet of the Emperor of West Qin, weeping in grief, her eyes blurred with tears, begging so humbly for his mercy and forgiveness.
Yu Wenyao sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, Concubine Hui seems to be quite pitiful."
Yuwen Zhantian glanced at her and motioned her not to talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty, during these years in the Taiwei's mansion, my concubine has narrowly escaped death and walked on thin ice. If my concubine's luck is a little bit worse, she will be killed by the brother and sister of the Baili family." Concubine Baili begged for mercy humbly, crying She said, with a hoarse voice, quite different from her crazy appearance just now, "That little bitch Xiangrui is jealous that my concubine is more beautiful than her, and has tried every means to kill my concubine these years, and so is Mrs. Baili, for the sake of her precious daughter's future and marriage, She murdered her ministers and concubines several times. If she hadn't been blessed by the heavens, she would have died in Taiwei's mansion. Then how did she meet His Majesty and serve His Majesty? The concubines deserve death, but the concubines really have to take revenge, revenge for their biological mother , to avenge himself"
"Baili Aiqing, how did you know that such dirty things happened in your father's house?" the Emperor of West Qin asked angrily.
"The old minister is busy with official duties and rarely asks about the affairs of the backyard. The old minister is ashamed." Taiwei Baili was annoyed in his heart, but he knew in his heart that his daughter used the miserable experience in the past to win His Majesty's mercy.
"Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Hui is really pitiful, but she killed someone after all, and the law cannot tolerate it." The Queen of West Qin State worried, "This murder case has already been known to the government and the public. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs confessed that this is a violation of discipline and trampling on the laws of the country."
Concubine Baili Hui remained motionless, like a beauty carved from ice, but her tears kept falling like broken pearls.
The emperor of the Western Qin Kingdom was very embarrassed and asked, "Prince, what is your opinion?"
Yuwen Zhantian guessed a little bit of his father's thoughts, he wanted to save Concubine Hui Baili's life, but also didn't want to corrupt the rules and laws of the country, so he said: "Father, my son and ministers have my humble opinion, first confine Concubine Hui to Hehuan Hall. There are still several doubts in this case that have not been clarified, so it is better to wait until all the doubts are clarified before dealing with it. Furthermore, Concubine Hui is pregnant with an imperial heir, if she wants to deal with it, she will have to wait until Concubine Hui gives birth to a child."
This is indeed a hot potato, if it is not handled well, it will anger the emperor for no reason.
The Emperor of West Qin Kingdom was quite satisfied with this answer, and he said gently to Concubine Baili Hui, "First raise your baby in Hehuan Hall, and I will properly accommodate you."
The queen's eyes were cold, and she clenched her hands slowly, unexpectedly, three lives would not make Concubine Baili Hui fall out of favor.
"My concubine, thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Concubine Baili Hui said in a hoarse voice.
"Concubine Fuhui go back to the bedroom to rest." He ordered Lvzhu.
Green Bamboo came over and helped Concubine Baili Hui go to the inner bedroom.
Murong Ci frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, as if the people and things here had nothing to do with her.
After the murder case was found out, the emperor and empress of the West Qin Kingdom got up and left, and everyone sent them off respectfully.
Just as they were about to step out of the hall, Murong Ci suddenly said: "Wait a minute"
They stopped suddenly, Yuwen Zhantian, Yuwenyao and Baili Taiwei looked at her in surprise, what did she want to do
"The case has not been clarified yet, please Your Majesty and Empress Dowager to sit down." Murong Ci said respectfully.
"Didn't you find out everything?" The Queen of West Qin Kingdom was very puzzled.
"Then let's listen to what he wants to say." The emperor of the West Qin Kingdom walked back to the main seat, hoping to get rid of the crime for his beloved Concubine Baili Hui.
"You still have something to discover?" Yuwen Zhantian asked in a low voice.
Murong Ci ignored her and said to Yu Wenyao, "Princess, please help Concubine Baili Hui out."
Yu Wenyao was full of curiosity, so she was happy to do this and helped Concubine Baili Hui out.
Murong Ci walked in front of Concubine Baili Hui, and said, "Concubine Hui, please extend your hand."
Concubine Baili Hui stopped crying, there were still tears on her face, her pitch-black eyes were opened dully, her eyeballs didn't move, her description was a bit dull.
Everyone was surprised, why she didn't respond, as if she didn't hear it for a while, how did she become like this
Murong Ci pulled out her right hand, pulled out the golden hairpin from her bun, and scratched her middle finger forcefully. Bright red drops of blood immediately appeared from the white fingertips, Murong Ci pressed hard, and squeezed out more blood, but she remained in a daze, neither struggling nor reacting at all.
Everyone exclaimed.
The emperor of West Qin stood up nervously and shouted angrily: "You are so brave, what are you doing?"
"Father, calm down. She must have a motive for doing this." Yuwen Zhantian quickly explained, but he didn't know why she did it suddenly.
"Your Majesty, the villain hurt Concubine Hui just now, but she didn't feel any pain, and she didn't react at all, but her eyes moved a little. Don't you think it's strange?" Murong Ci raised his voice and asked, naturally, Concubine Hui The bleeding from the middle finger also made her sober.
The emperor of the Western Qin Kingdom looked at his concubine Ai. Indeed, why didn't she respond at all
Baili Taiwei urged: "Don't be tricky, come quickly."
At this time, Baili
Concubine Hui suddenly came back to her senses, as if all three souls and seven souls had returned to their places. She looked at everyone, and then at her own fingers, full of surprise, "Why is Ben Gong's hand bleeding?"
Everyone was even more surprised and puzzled by her words and expression.
"Your Majesty, just now you pleaded guilty to killing your mother, second sister and elder brother, do you still remember?" Murong Ci asked coldly.
"Ah, Ben Gong pleaded guilty, when did Ben Gong plead guilty?" Concubine Baili Hui's eyes widened suddenly, and she firmly denied, "Ben Gong didn't kill mother, elder brother and second sister, why do you say that?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, what is going on
Just now she pleaded guilty and looked crazy, everyone can see clearly, how can she easily deny it
Yu Wenyao felt that this matter was getting more and more miraculous, "Concubine Hui, just now you really pleaded guilty and killed your dearest relative, and your father also witnessed it with your own eyes. You won't forget everything so quickly, right?"
The Empress of West Qin Kingdom seized the opportunity and said sternly: "Concubine Hui, don't just rely on your majesty to favor you, and rely on being pregnant with the emperor's heir, you can go back on your word, turn around and kill people for your life.
The emperor of West Qin Kingdom was a little displeased, and asked with a frown: "My concubine, you really don't remember."
Concubine Baili Hui realized the seriousness of the situation, knelt down and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't kill anyone, how could the concubine plead guilty? The concubine never killed anyone!"
Yuwen Zhantian asked Murong Ci, "You know what's going on?"
Captain Baili was also confused, "Did you do something to Concubine Hui?"
Murong Ci's eyes fluttered, and his spirit was flying high, "At first Concubine Hui denied the murder, but now she firmly says that she did not kill anyone. Your Majesty, Empress Do you still remember?"
Everyone nodded.
"Just now, Concubine Hui suddenly changed her words and pleaded guilty, and she looks like a mad woman, like a mad woman." She glanced at a person inadvertently, extremely cold, "That's because Concubine Hui's mind has been controlled .”
"Controlled by who?" Yuwen Zhantian was surprised and admired, she actually noticed something that no one else noticed
"Speak quickly." Captain Baili urged impatiently.
Concubine Baili Hui was both shocked and frightened, she was silently controlled by someone, it was terrible
Murong Ci grabbed Lu Zhu's hand suddenly, pulled her to the center, and said coldly: "She is the one who controls Concubine Hui's mind."
Concubine Baili Hui stared at her in disbelief, how could it be possible that Luzhu had always been loyal to her.
Luzhu knelt down, with a panicked, wronged and innocent look, "Your Majesty, empress, my servant has been wronged, my servant is loyal to my empress, how could I harm my empress?"
Murong Ci liuguangjiyue said: "The green bamboo should be the murderer."
Everyone was taken aback again.
"Baby maid, you'd better recruit it truthfully, or you will be punished with great punishment." The emperor of West Qin wished that the murderer was someone else, and his voice was extremely severe.
"Your Majesty, my servant has been wronged. This servant has been serving your mother for two years and has been so loyal. How could she harm your mother and her family?" Lvzhu cried miserably, lying on the ground.
"She is a court lady, she has no grievances with the Baili family, how could she harm the Baili family?" Yu Wenyao helped Baili Huifei to sit down.
"The princess is right, the servant did not harm anyone, the servant would not dare to kill even if she had a thousand guts," Lv Zhu cried in horror.
"Mother, where does the honey orchid fragrance come from?" Murong Ci asked Concubine Baili Hui.
"It was given to me by the green bamboo. The green bamboo is good at making incense, and the fragrance it makes is so unique that you can't put it down." Concubine Baili Hui said gently, not knowing why the other party asked this question.
"Your Majesty, why are you wronging your servant? It's obviously your Majesty. You asked your servant to make incense secretly, saying that this incense is of great use. Your Majesty, your servant is loyal to you. You can't harm your servant." Luzhu cried again, tears streaming down her face I begged the Queen of West Qin, "Your Majesty, you are the master of the harem, you must be the master of your servants."
It's really hard to tell the difference between this person's words.
Concubine Baili Hui was shocked by the words of the maid who was close to her, she was so angry that her face was furrowed, her eyebrows were frowned, "It's no good that I trust you so much, you framed me like this!"
The emperor of the Western Qin Kingdom hurriedly advised: "My dear concubine, you are pregnant, don't get angry or get pregnant for this lowly servant girl."
Yuwen Zhantian said coldly: "Green bamboo is good at making incense, and it makes a unique incense for Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui gives it to Mrs. Baili and thyme. In this way, green bamboo can control them. Then she killed them, making it an accidental illusion that they were attacked and pecked to death by crows. She bought the girl from Taiwei's mansion, and tampered with Bai Lijing's robes, and arranged it into an accidental illusion of excessive drinking and sudden death. So The method of killing is really clever."
Murong Ci continued: "Green Bamboo also controlled Concubine Hui, because Concubine Hui also used that incense. She killed someone and knew the truth of the murder would soon be hidden, so she decided to make Concubine Hui a scapegoat. Plead guilty on her behalf."
"You low maidservant, why don't you invite me here?" The emperor of West Qin Kingdom snapped, his face full of anger.
"All of this is your speculation, but there is evidence." Luzhu no longer begged for mercy, much calmer than before.
