The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1118 You Can Say It or Not

Sheng Ran went to see Yongping after Emperor Yanping's condition gradually improved.

At this time, several days had passed since the Internal Guard Office found out about the incident in Si Palace.

Yongping did not disappoint her. As soon as they met, the first thing he said was to sell out Concubine Cen.

And Concubine Cen seemed to have expected this. She dressed like an ordinary old lady and followed the palace servants to the place where Yongping was imprisoned with a calm demeanor.

"Queen, whatever you want to know, I can tell you no matter how big or small it is. But one thing, keep this stupid thing away from me. I feel sick just by looking at her!"

"A confrontation requires confessions from both parties. If we only listen to your words, wouldn't that be biased? Such evidence will not pass the test of the three judicial departments!" Sheng Ran also ignored Yongping who was furious because of Concubine Cen's words, "Concubine, you and her are separated by a fence. If you don't want to look at her, just don't look at her."

"Haha, as expected, the queen is the queen. The daughter of the Sheng family is far less tolerant than the Emperor Jiang."

When Concubine Cen heard Sheng Ran's refusal, she was not angry, but just smiled in a gentle voice, looking like an old person who was infinitely tolerant towards the younger generation.

  "Haha, leniency? Leniency! What's the use of leniency?! The late Emperor Chengyuan was lenient, but his niece whom he had carefully educated still acted cruelly towards his crown prince; the late Emperor Jinghe was lenient, and treated his brother's orphan with more favors, but in the end, he still suffered because of him; the current emperor is also very lenient, and has never been disrespectful to you, his elder, but in the end, you showed no mercy when you plotted against him!

If what Grand Princess Hong An did is excusable, then Yongping and you... can only prove that 'not everyone is suitable for leniency', and some people don't deserve to be treated well by others! It is said that honey to me is poison to others. I think being mean and ungrateful is the best reward and kindness for you!"

"Empress, aren't you afraid of angering me by speaking like this and not getting the confession you want?" Concubine Cen was not angry, and still asked in a gentle voice.

Sheng Ran glanced at Yongping who was banging on the door and angrily scolded him, shook her head, and turned to look directly at the smiling Concubine Cen: "Concubine, if you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. As for the confession, if there is, then use the existing method to deal with it; if there is no, there are naturally countermeasures.

However, I have a bad temper. If the Concubine Dowager keeps silent or deliberately misleads me, I will have to order someone to take the remains of Prince Jing and you, one to Europe, and the other to the distant grassland continent that the caravan just discovered. Either way, we have to drive them out of the imperial mausoleum. I think you don't mind."

"How dare you!" Concubine Cen's smile instantly turned into anger. If it weren't for the palace guards, she would have rushed over. "Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't this a choice for you?" Sheng Ran looked at Yongping who was laughing loudly again. After a while, she turned her head and told Concubine Cen not to get excited.

"..." Concubine Cen seemed to have someone grabbing her neck, forcing her to cover up the rage and resentment that was rolling to her mouth.

After staring at Sheng Ran for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said "OK" several times.

"I am of course fine, but I wonder if you, the Concubine, have made up your mind?"

"Hmph, don't you let me think carefully about where to start?!" Concubine Cen's expression changed very quickly. After taking a few breaths, she calmed down.

"Where else can I start? If you have the guts, just start by telling me how you lied to me that there was an imperial decree of succession hidden in Si Palace!" Princess Yongping finally found her chance. She grabbed the fence with her hair disheveled and sneered at Concubine Dowager Cen hatefully.

Concubine Cen raised her hand and waved it beside her ear, like a hawk chasing away mosquitoes: "Hmph, okay, let's start from there."

She raised her eyelids and looked at Sheng Ran with a half-smile: "I think with the Queen's ability, there is no need for me to explain one by one."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ran chuckled indifferently.

Her attitude was very clear, and her unspoken meaning was also very clear. Concubine Cen was choked by her words and fell backwards. After a long while, she calmed down, snorted coldly with a sullen face, and continued with the previous topic.
