Donggong Zhangjiao

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

The queen held Tian Mo's hand into the room, glanced at the situation in the room, and then bowed and saluted.

"Why are you here?" Pei Yao asked her casually, gesturing for her to excuse herself.

In fact, Pei Yao guessed the queen's intention, but now he had caught the loophole in Lan Liangyuan's words. He had a clear understanding of the whole matter and had made a decision. Even if the queen did not come, he would not wrongly accuse Xu Lingyi.

The queen looked calm, walked forward, sat down on the empty seat next to Pei Yao, and then spoke.

"I heard that Hu Lingyi came to the imperial court to redress his injustice. I thought that this matter was related to the emperor's heir, so I came here to take a look."

As a queen, she naturally has the final say in matters in the harem, and Pei Yao has no reason to stop her from listening.

In fact, according to the rules, Hu Lingyi should go to the queen to redress his grievances. Going directly to Pei Yao was actually going too far. However, Hu Lingyi insisted in her heart that this time she suffered because Lan Liangyuan and Xu Lingyi teamed up, and she was worried that the queen would protect Xu Lingyi. That's why he stabbed him directly in front of Pei Yao.

"Hong Zheng, please tell the queen." Pei Yao ordered.

"Yes."

Hong Zheng responded, stood up and told the queen about the current situation.

After hearing what he said, the queen's eyes fell on Lan Liangyuan.

"So now, Lan Liangyuan insists that Xu Lingyi faked her pregnancy and then pretended to have a miscarriage. This was a conspiracy between the two of them?"

"If she didn't know, how could she be so afraid of being discovered by you, the Queen, that she deliberately alienated Nanny Feng, who you sent to take care of her?"

Lan Liangyuan rubbed her neck and sneered.

Xu Lingyi became anxious when she heard this, "It's obviously you who instigated it, saying that the Queen wouldn't like me having a baby. She was afraid that Aunt Feng was sent to harm me, so I should be more careful!"

"Who can testify?" Lan Liangyuan shouted coldly, "Now you just want to leave me alone to take the blame. Xu Yingyi, don't even think about it!"

"This slave can testify!" Xiaozhi stepped forward angrily.

But Lan Liangyuan sneered and said, "You are her maid, so naturally you speak to her. Your words cannot be counted at all!"

Xiao Zhi was choked by her, her heart skipped a beat, and she knelt down and kowtowed to Pei Yao.

"Your Majesty, this slave testifies that Xu Lingyi is also a victim and has no idea that she is a false pregnancy. If the Emperor does not believe this slave, he can severely torture and interrogate this slave. I am willing to go to a dark cell for trial to prove Xu Lingyi's innocence!"

"Xiao Zhi!"

Xu Lingyi was startled and hurriedly pulled Xiao Zhi up.

The secret prison was a place where you would either die or be disabled if you entered it. Xiaozhi had grown up with her, how could she let it go.

"I know that Ling Yi feels sorry for me, but if I can't prove Ling Yi's innocence, how can I live with this heinous crime? Just let me go!" Xiao Zhi had tears in her eyes, and she looked like she was ready to die.

Only then did the queen speak again.

"Your Majesty, this maid is loyal to the Lord and is so fearless. It shows that her words can be trusted. Besides, I also find something strange. If Lan Liangyuan and Xu Lingyi jointly did the whole thing, then why did Hu Lingyi find out so many things? The witnesses and physical evidence all show that it was Lan Liangyuan who did it alone. Could it be that Lan Liangyuan protected Xu Lingyi in this way, so that she would not be tainted in the slightest, and she only needed to have a false pregnancy?" "Then once the incident happened, wouldn't it be possible? As in the current situation, Lan Liangyuan wants to bear the blame alone, but Xu Lingyi is able to protect herself wisely. I think that Lan Liangyuan will probably not do such a business where she bears all the risks alone."

"Even if the queen protects Xu Lingyi, there should be a limit. You are shielding and conniving!" Lan Liangyuan immediately retorted loudly, "I conspired with Xu Lingyi, I contributed, she was responsible for the false pregnancy, and both of them Taking the risk, who would have thought that she would kick my concubine away temporarily!"

"So you have confessed." The queen looked at her steadily.

Lan Liangyuan's face paused, then she chuckled and said, "There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, and I can't refute it, but I just don't want to see the people who conspired with me go unpunished."

"Since you and Xu Lingyi are colluding, why is the medicine that causes false pregnancy mixed with chestnut cakes and given to Xu Lingyi to eat? For this reason, you have to kill one more palace maid. Doesn't it leave more clues? Don't tell I, Xu Lingyi was afraid that the medicine would be bitter, so I asked you to mix it into the chestnut cake."

The queen's eyes were calm and she spoke word by word.

Xu Lingyi was stupid, having never experienced such a situation before, and she was so angry that she only used words to defend herself, but she didn't know how to find loopholes from Lan Liangyuan to prove herself, but the queen had seen this method before.

The reason why she didn't expose it directly at the beginning was to allow Lan Liangyuan to argue shamelessly in front of Pei Yao a few more times. In this way, when the truth is revealed, Pei Yao will be more disgusted with Lan Liangyuan and will naturally be more merciless in dealing with her. .

Sure enough, after the Queen's words hit home, Lan Liangyuan's whole face turned pale and stiff, she gritted her teeth tightly, but she did not open her mouth to argue.

Pei Yao's face was cold, his eyes full of irritation and disgust.

He was naturally aware of the loopholes that the Queen could detect, so he had long been disgusted with Lan Liangyuan's biting. If the Queen hadn't arrived at the right moment, Pei Yao would have already dealt with it.

But I have to say that the queen's delay for a while longer and letting Lan Liangyuan shamelessly toss for a while really made Pei Yao hate Lan Liangyuan even more.

So after the palace became quiet at this moment, Pei Yao said coldly.

"The Qiu family conspired to murder the concubine, and showed no repentance. She pretended to be a commoner and was thrown into the cold palace."

By the time the news reached Yuzhang Palace, the matter had already been finalized.

Hu Lingyi was unjustly accused and was reinstated as a concubine, continuing to raise the sixth princess. Lan Liangyuan was deposed as a commoner and relegated to the cold palace, while Xu Lingyi remained silent.

It makes sense to think about it. Without her knowledge, she was considered a pawn in Lan Liangyuan's hands and also a victim.

However, Fang Yun also learned here that before Lan Liangyuan was taken away, she shouted to the queen that the queen would definitely breed tigers when she protected Xu Lingyi like this, and Zhao Guifei was favored. How could Xu Lingyi be a match for her? She wanted to see , the queen plans like this, will she be defeated by Concubine Zhao in the end?

"Tsk, you are really a troublemaker. You are here in this field and you still want to stir up trouble." Fang Yun smacked his lips.

Su Xin also had a look of disgust, "Isn't it? She is the most restless in the harem now. Now that she is in the cold palace, she should be quiet for a while."

"I wonder what will happen to the Qiu family. This Mrs. Qiu is the serious accomplice. A minister's family has reached out to the harem. If the female family members are like this, the man may not have any ambitions." Ruoyu said next to him. .

Fang Yun smiled and said, "The affairs of the previous dynasty are the emperor's business. I don't need to interfere. It's up to the queen. I don't know how much she will listen to Qiu's words."

"The empress has never been disrespectful to the queen. The queen knows it well. Even if she wants to do something, she has no chance to make a fuss." Su Xin said.

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, "I hope so. It's already October and there have been so many troubles this year. I hope I can still have a good New Year." (End of Chapter)
