Donggong Zhangjiao

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.

When she realized it, Yingxia had already wrestled with Yinxiu. Yingxia seemed to be furious, and greeted him with big ears.

The queen frowned, "Hurry up and pull them away!"

The servants in the hall got the order and hurried forward and dragged the two away.

Yingxia was very aggressive, and Yinxiu was the one who was beaten. Now her hair and clothes were torn, and she was trembling with fear.

"What's going on, you want to beat her like this!" the queen asked in a deep voice.

Yingxia wiped the tears from her face and glared at Yinxiu.

"The Empress, she is responsible for cooking the soothing soup for He Concubine every day. Concubine He trusted her and gave her this job. She never cooks soup from other people's hands. Now the soothing soup is poisoned. She must have done it!"

It was amazing to say this.

The little maid who cooked the soothing soup was not only instructed by Concubine He to poison Wan Lingyi, but also poisoned Concubine He by someone else.

It’s really hard work for those who can do it.

Pei Yao looked at all this with cold eyes, his eyes were sinister and terrifying.

"Okay, that's great. In my harem, there are more talents than before."

After saying this, he gave instructions to the side.

"Hong Zheng, take this court lady to me, send her to a dark cell, and pry her mouth open."

The dark prison, that is the place where the guilty servants in the palace will be sent to be tortured.

Using the word "dark" to describe it is not appropriate enough, it should be called "water prison" with the word "water".

The sun has not been seen all year round, and it is unknown how many criminal slaves died there. The water in the cell and thigh deep is full of stench, and there are unknown insects and ants biting people in the water.

Moreover, the cell is low and low, so you can only bend your waist at almost ninety degrees when you enter it. Naturally, you can’t sit down and squat down. .

If you throw it in, even if you don't need to be punished, life will be worse than death, and you will confess immediately.

Obviously Yinxiu had heard of this place. As soon as Pei Yao finished speaking, he was shaking like a sieve and his face was as pale as a dead person.

When the person who came to drag her just touched her shoulder, Yinxiu jumped up immediately as if bitten by a poisonous snake.

Immediately, he rushed towards Wan Lingyi like crazy.

"No, I don't want to go to the dark prison. Wan Lingyi saves the servant. The servant is doing things for you. You said that you will save the lives of the servant and the servant's family. You said that as long as the servant is willing to testify, it is the concubine He. The medicine has harmed you, and you will definitely beg the emperor to spare the life of this servant, Wan Lingyi, please speak, I don’t want to go to the dark prison, I don’t want to go!”

If she didn't guard against her sudden pounce, Yuetao didn't stop her, and Yinxiu hugged Wan Lingyi's leg firmly.

Wan Lingyi was also frightened and quickly pushed and beat her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be bloody. I asked you to do something for me. You, you and He Bin harmed me, that's all. Why do you want to harm me now!"

"You bitch, get out of here!"

Yuetao came to her senses, desperately pushed Yinxiu away, and tightly guarded Wan Lingyi behind her.

At this time, Yinxiu seemed to be scared out of her mind. Seeing that Wan Lingyi was not protecting her, she turned around and quickly climbed up to the main seat.

"Empress, Empress, this servant knows that you are the most lenient and kind-hearted, you save this servant, this servant made a mistake, this servant knew it was wrong, this servant was indeed instructed by Concubine He, and gave Wan Lingyi the medicine to kill her, But Wan Lingyi is not innocent, she, she was the one who instigated the servants after knowing the truth, and let the servants use their position to poison Concubine He!"

As she said, as if to prove her innocence, she hurriedly added.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to check. There is still unused poison in the servant's residence. In the box under the servant's bed, there are a pair of bracelets rewarded by Wan Lingyi, a hairpin and silver. The servant hasn't moved yet. Woolen cloth!"

Listening to her say these words, Wan Lingyi was shocked and angry.

Without any explanation, he was going to beat and scold her.

"You lowly servant girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Why did I ever let you do this? You, you, the emperor, this lowly servant girl is full of lies. Hurry up and take her to a secret cell for strict interrogation!"

"Wan Lingyi wants Yinxiu to die quickly, so there will be no proof!"

Yingxia on the side immediately came forward on her knees and kowtowed to the main seat.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, even if Concubine He is at fault, Wan Lingyi may not be clean. If Yinxiu's words are true or false, they will know after sending someone to check them. Palace rules treat everyone equally. Wan Lingyi found out that our empress did something wrong. But I sued the empress to make the decision, but while pretending to be weak and pitiful, and at the same time using shady means to harm our empress, it may not be wrong!"

To be honest, Fang Yun felt that this reasoning was a bit crooked.

But it is right to grasp one point.

Even according to the law of the palace, Wan Lingyi has no right to deal with Concubine He privately.

And I have to say that what Yingxia said at this moment also weakened Wan Lingyi's image of a weak person a lot.

What kind of heart can be used to treat a person's body in the same way?

Moreover, this incident was provoked because of the reason why she satirized He Bin for not being able to have a baby.

In the end, they sent people to search Yongle Palace.

Wan Lingyi originally wanted to prove her innocence, but she didn't expect that the things found in Yinxiu's package were all good, just as she said.

"Impossible, this is not the concubine's belongings, and the concubine's belongings are still well kept in the attic!" Wan Lingyi looked at those things and panicked.

Yue Tao also hurriedly said, "Lingyi's jewellery, the emperor asked my servant to go back and look for it, this servant personally collected it!"

Pei Yao glanced at their master and servant, but still gave this opportunity and let Hong Zheng follow.

But after waiting for a long time, Yuetao, who was brought back by Hong Zheng, turned pale.

Things were missing, and the few missing items were exactly the same as those found in Yinxiu's bag.

In an instant, Wan Lingyi became anxious and angry.

Kneeling anxiously, "Your Majesty, since this concubine has already chosen to report Concubine He, why not wait for her to be punished before venting her anger!"

"Because you said that Concubine He's family background is not low, and that the drug to kill you didn't cause serious injury, and I'm afraid that the emperor won't punish you too severely, so you want to act quickly!"

Yinxiu immediately continued to expose.

"Your Majesty, Concubine He's symptoms would not have been so severe. The slaves were afraid of being discovered by Concubine He, so they wanted to let Concubine He get sick earlier, so they increased the dose privately. My wife won't feel unwell so soon!"

These words blocked Wan Lingyi's words.

The more anxious and angry I feel, the more I don't know how to tell the difference, Wan Lingyi is like this at the moment.

But now the scene is that Concubine He and Wan Lingyi are plotting to kill each other.

Pei Yao lowered his eyes, clenched his hands holding the table and chair, his knuckles turned white, although there was no joy or anger on his face, but the low pressure around his body could tell people that he was extremely annoyed at the moment.

Fang Yun kept all this in his eyes without any trace, thinking in his heart that it was time.

In the next second, Yan Wei's figure appeared at the door.

After walking in, he seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then, under the eyes of everyone, he bowed himself.

"This servant is here to see the Emperor, the Queen. Concubine Zhao has not returned to the palace for a long time. The fourth prince seems to be unwell and is crying. This servant is here to invite Concubine Zhao."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yun hurriedly stood up.

Then he felt something was wrong and glanced at Pei Yao anxiously, "Your Majesty."

At this moment, it's not appropriate to just leave.

Pei Yao was already too annoyed to stay any longer, so he also stood up directly.

"I will go with you to see it."

In the end, he turned around and said to the Queen.

"It's up to you to handle today's affairs. Concubine He and Wan Lingyi will handle them according to the palace rules."

"Yes."

The queen responded, and basically knew it in her heart.

And Fang Yun, as a gentle mother who cared about her children, naturally took Pei Yao away without touching her body.

In the afternoon, news came out from the Jiaofang Palace that Concubine He and Wan Lingyi violated the palace rules and were fined to demote them together and be imprisoned for three months.
