The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 77 Descending to a Promise

Chapter 77

Hearing this, the emperor moved his eyes away and looked at Liang Jiugong who was at the side. Liang Jiugong and the emperor looked at each other, nodded clearly and said: "I will send someone to investigate."

After saying that, Liang Jiugong turned around respectfully and left. Wang Dawei saw that the situation was not good, and his voice became louder: "Your Majesty! This slave is wronged! It must be the people from Chengqian Palace and this little eunuch who planted me together!"

Hearing this, the emperor laughed contemptuously, put his hands on his head, raised his eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "You tell me yourself, what's the use of them planting you as an eunuch?"

Wang Dawei paused in embarrassment, his voice flustered: "It is really useless to frame a servant alone, but they can slander Li Chang together, this is what they have created, Your Majesty, you must not be fooled by them !"

"Oh, is it?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, apparently not paying much attention, and responded lightly: "Then tell me, what are the people in Chengqian Palace slandering Li Chang for no reason? Li Chang is bearing a grudge against Cheng." The maids of Qian Palace know, what kind of hatred do these people in Cheng Qian Palace have against Li Changzai?"

Wang Dawei was obviously in a hurry, and didn't react for a while, "Of course there is a grudge! Li Changzai once served Chengqian Palace..."

In the middle of speaking, Wang Dawei instantly realized something was wrong, the words stopped on the edge of his mouth, his eyes widened, but his throat seemed to be locked, and he couldn't say a word.The people around also heard the cause and effect, and all looked at Wang Dawei with amazed expressions.

At this moment, the entire main hall was silent, the emperor seemed to have expected this a long time ago, his expression was full of indifference, he leaned down slightly, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, and he said silently: "Finish, what are you going to do?" ?”

Wang Dawei closed his mouth, lowered his head slowly, gritted his teeth fiercely, and clenched his fists full of unwillingness.

"If you don't want to say it, I will say it." The emperor's voice was very cold, a pair of beads were coiled in his hand, and his slender fingers kept moving, but his tone did not change at all: "You You keep saying that people from Chengqian Palace framed you, now open your eyes wide and let me take a good look, the maids of Chengqian Palace almost died of poisoning!"

When he said the last sentence, the emperor's voice darkened a bit, and his eyes became sharper. He pointed in Jiaorong's direction and said to Wang Dawei: "This is Concubine Yi's favorite maid. Do you think that Concubine Yi will In order to frame a Li Changzai, don't you hesitate to sacrifice the life of your most capable court lady!"

Hearing this, Fulu below couldn't help shrugging his shoulders and sighing.Of course Concubine Yi can't, but Jiaorong can, she is just so bold and reckless.

"Your Majesty, that's really not the case!" Wang Dawei raised his head, although he was no longer as confident, but he still frowned tightly, "Your Majesty, why do you always favor people in Chengqian Palace? The position is because I don’t care about the physical condition of the court lady, and this time I want to punish the slaves for even a word of disagreement, is it the slaves who did the trick, or the emperor deliberately favors you!"

In this regard, the people in the hall did not dare to speak out.I'm afraid Wang Dawei knows that he is not far from death, and he will drag the people of Chengqian Palace into the water no matter what he says.As long as someone dares to question the prestige and actions of the emperor, it stands to reason that the emperor will definitely distance himself from Chengqian Palace in order to prove his innocence.

But who knew, when the emperor heard Wang Dawei's words, he just raised his eyebrows and said naturally: "So what about favoritism?"

Everyone was at a loss when they heard this, but the emperor said bluntly: "I admit that I deliberately favor this little maid. If it were an ordinary maid, I would send someone to investigate, but I won't want this little lady." It’s just as efficient. As for just now I threatened to send you all to the Punishment Division..."

After saying that, the emperor laughed and said lightly: "If I hadn't put pressure on you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have caught you out so quickly, would I?"

At this moment, Concubine Yi looked at the emperor full of complexity.The emperor has already admitted that his feelings for Jiaorong are unusual, so she has nothing to say.But Concubine Yi felt uncomfortable for Jiaorong. With Jiaorong's personality, she should be a free-flying bird. She would like a free and simple life instead of being included in this deep palace.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yi looked at Jiaorong who was still unconscious on the chair beside her, and couldn't help reaching out to grab Jiaorong's wrist, holding her hand to warm her cold fingers.

The people below dare not discuss it. The emperor is indeed right. Although what he said just now shocked everyone, he can indeed catch the mastermind behind it. .

As for Chengqian Palace, a court lady who caused troubles everywhere but was never sanctioned, many people seemed to have heard of it a long time ago. Thinking about which palace this will be the master of in the future.

Wang Dawei didn't know how else to defend himself, he was completely discouraged, knelt down silently, swallowed, and trembled uncontrollably.After all, the emperor is the emperor, no matter how he tries to quibble, what the emperor believes will not change.

"It is reasonable to say that you deliberately poisoned the people in the palace. I would not even punish your three clans too much, but your family background is related to Li Changzai, so I will hang you and kill yourself." The emperor said lightly. With these words, the beads in his hand were silently put aside, and he continued: "As for Li Changzai, who intentionally poisoned the concubine, he was reduced to a promise, and the Jingyang Palace was imprisoned, and he was not allowed to leave the Jingyang Palace for half a step without my will. .”

The moment he really heard the verdict, Wang Dawei went crazy. The moment the imperial guards around him grabbed his arms, Wang Dawei couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Please spare this servant! Li promised to threaten this servant, and it was Li who promised! Please spare this servant!"

As Wang Dawei's voice got farther and farther away, the emperor's expression gradually became serious. He paused for a while, and then his eyes swept over all the royal chefs and eunuchs in the hall, and his tone was extremely cold: "Listen to me, all of you." Now, if someone dares to poison the food in the harem in the future, I will never spare him as lightly as today."

In the next second, all the palace people below lowered their heads, and said softly: "This servant respects the emperor's will."

The emperor's game of killing chickens and monkeys today can be regarded as a perfect game. Looking at the emperor's appearance, he knew that he had understood these things a long time ago, but he still took the trouble to warn them all. It can be said that Qiangong and that little palace lady attached great importance to it.
