Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

The little palace maid lowered her head at first, as if she didn't dare to speak. After the emperor asked another question, she stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly at Concubine Li.

"Yes, it was the imperial concubine who instructed the slave to do this. She also said that if the slave does not listen to her, then she will be killed." After saying that, the little maid shrank, looking extremely scared.

"Nonsense!" Concubine Li shouted angrily, "I don't even know you. When did I force you to do this?"

"Rongrong!" The emperor's face turned pale as he stared at Concubine Li, "I have always loved you so much, but you did such a cruel thing. You disappoint me so much!"

Concubine Li took a deep breath and said coldly: "Based on this palace lady's words alone, does the emperor believe her or not?"

"It's just because of the Third Emperor's incident that you hated the Queen, so you harmed her like this! But the Third Emperor is already dead, do you want me to die?"

"My son is dead, he is dead!" Concubine Li shouted, "He is my life, please, Your Majesty, at least don't say it so lightly!"

"presumptuous!"

"The emperor will naturally not understand the pain of losing a son, because you can still have many sons!"

"you!"

As expected of Concubine Li, the Emperor of Western Vietnam was so embarrassed that he lost his dignity.Liu Yunxiang wiped his sweat secretly. Concubine Li's head-on confrontation would not only not clear her of suspicion, but would instead make the emperor blame her for the matter in anger.

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for you, you could have confronted this little palace maid." Liu Yunxiang hurriedly interjected.

Because of these words, Concubine Li looked at Liu Yunxiang and saw her shaking her head at her.

Concubine Li also realized that she was too impulsive, suppressed her anger, looked at the little palace maid, and asked: "You said that I asked you to do this, when did I tell you?"

"The afternoon before yesterday."

"What time and time exactly?"

"This……"

"You can still remember roughly."

"It's probably Shenshi."

"Oh, Shen Shi?" Concubine Li snorted, and then looked at the emperor, "The emperor should know where my concubine was during the time of Shen Shi the day before yesterday, right?"

The emperor frowned and looked at the young palace maid, "Are you sure?"

The little palace maid immediately realized something was wrong, "I didn't pay attention to the time at that time. Maybe it was the end of Shen Shi and You Shi."

"Youshi? My concubine had dinner with the emperor in Chengtian Palace and did not return to Chaorong Palace until Hai."

The emperor shouted angrily: "You still haven't told the truth!"

The little palace maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore.

At this time, Concubine Xian came. When she saw this situation, she hurriedly stepped forward and examined herself first. She said that she was in charge of the harem but failed to manage it properly, and such a thing happened.

She asked the little palace maid again. The little palace maid trembled even more, and still pointed at Concubine Li, saying that she did this better than her.

"If you dare to frame me again, I will cut your tongue right now!" Concubine Li said angrily.

The little palace maid was so frightened that she kowtowed, "Xianfei, please save this slave, please save this slave!"

Concubine Xian asked again in detail, and then asked coldly: "You said it was Shenshi the day before yesterday, and Concubine Li was in Chengtian Palace during this time. You are obviously lying!"

"This slave didn't lie. It was Concubine Li who really instigated this slave." The little palace maid cried in fright, but still bit Concubine Li.

Concubine Xian snorted coldly, "Slandering the imperial concubine is a capital crime!"

"Slave, I am willing to die to prove it!"

As she said this, the little palace maid actually stood up and was about to hit the pillar in front of her. Concubine Xian hurriedly asked someone to stop her.

She turned to look at the emperor and saw that his face was gloomy. She stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "I should trust Concubine Li unconditionally, but she really hates the queen and the child in her belly. She has tried to harm her several times but failed, so she still wants to ask the emperor." Just one sentence." The emperor took a deep breath, "You ask."

"The afternoon before yesterday, when Concubine Li was in the Emperor's Chengtian Palace, was she always under your nose and never left the Palace?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, "Before dinner, I was reviewing the memorial. She felt bored and went out for a while."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Li frowned, "I did leave the study, but I didn't leave the Chengtian Palace. I just walked around the yard and then went back."

"Concubine Li, you said you didn't leave Chengtian Palace, can someone prove it for you?"

"The maids and nuns around me can all prove it for me!"

"It's ridiculous. They are your people, so they naturally turn to you."

"Concubine Xian, what do you mean?"

Concubine Xian sighed and said: "Concubine Li, how much older am I than you? I still want to advise you. The third prince has been dead for so long, and you should let it go. The queen is old, but she has a child in her belly." He is a dragon heir, and poisoning a dragon heir is a capital crime."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes, actually looking at the emperor now.The afternoon before yesterday, Concubine Li was with the Emperor. Whether she had the time to see this little palace maid and instigate her to harm the Queen is very subjective.

"You are still quibbling!" The Emperor shouted at Concubine Li coldly, "You disappoint me so much."

Concubine Li frowned. She didn't expect that the emperor didn't believe her.

"You know how long I have been there, and you still..."

"This little palace maid has no enmity against you, so she won't frame you."

"Why can't the emperor understand why she framed me? It's clear that there is someone behind her!"

"Okay, stop making excuses."

The emperor was very impatient. He called the guards and dragged the little palace maid out and killed her with a cane.The little palace maid kept begging Concubine Xian to save her. Concubine Xian looked pitiful, but did not open her mouth to plead for her.

Once the little palace maid died, the charge of murdering the emperor's heir would actually fall on Concubine Li.

At this moment, a guard hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Chief Xia has entered the palace and asks to see you."

The emperor frowned, "What time is it now? Why is he in the palace?"

After asking this question, he immediately understood and glanced at Concubine Li coldly.

Xia's first assistant came to the palace, naturally to support Concubine Li, and the reason why he came in such timely manner was that his first assistant's office definitely had spies in the palace.

"Please invite Chief Xia to come to Chaorong Palace."

After the guard left, Concubine Xian secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the affairs of the harem are not government affairs. This Xia Chief Assistant is too lenient."

"It's indeed too wide." The emperor glanced at Concubine Li again.

Concubine Li said calmly: "How does Concubine Xian know that my father came to the palace for my business?"

"Is not it?"

"how could I know."

"That's all." Concubine Xian shook her head, "Your Majesty always wants to give Xia Shoufu some face. Let's forget that today's incident was a blur. It's just pity that the Queen has lost a child. In this way, in order to make up for the Queen, the Sixth Princess should be returned to the Queen. Give it to the Queen.”

"I disagree!" Concubine Li frowned, "She can't even protect herself, how can she protect the Sixth Princess!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "This time, you have to agree even if you don't agree!" (End of Chapter)
