After all the villains read my mind, they all came clean

Concubine Qi suddenly turned her head away, her sharp and gloomy eyes falling on Shen Yuexi.

She frowned, gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "Is it the good deeds of your Liang family?"

Shen Yuexi's face was calm, her head half lowered, hiding the emotions in her eyes: "Concubine Qi, since the general did it, my master just wanted to tell the truth."

Concubine Qi's eyes were full of anger and she stepped forward coldly.

She approached Shen Yuexi and was about to speak when the Queen's displeased voice came from behind her: "Concubine Qi, this is in my palace, so don't lose your sense of proportion."

Concubine Qi held back her steps.

She stared at Shen Yuexi coldly for a long time, then raised her finger and pointed at the tip of Shen Yuexi's nose: "Wait for me."

After saying that, Concubine Qi turned around and left.

The eldest maid breathed a sigh of relief at Concubine Qi's back, and then asked the queen for instructions: "Your Majesty, would you like to go to the front hall and have a look?"

The queen looked hesitant and didn't reply for a while.

[Mother, please let the queen go with you. 】

[If the emperor knew that Concubine Qi bullied others and showed off her power in our Liang family, he would not let Concubine Qi's brother and sister go. 】

Shen Yuexi obeyed Liang Yuyu's words.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is rushing to the front hall at this moment, fearing that she is going to plead for her brother. With the emperor's love for Concubine Qi, if he really lets this matter go for her sake, wouldn't Concubine Qi be in front of you in the future? Are you becoming more arrogant and domineering?"

As soon as Shen Yuexi finished speaking, the Queen's expression suddenly became firm: "Let's go up together and see what General Qi is capable of."

A group of people came to the meeting hall.

Concubine Qi's brother is suspected of subcontracting military equipment, which is a serious matter.

In order not to attract too much attention, the emperor had already dispersed most of the courtiers.

At this moment, in addition to Liang Ruitian and his son, there were also Cen Shangshu and Cen Jia'an in the hall, as well as Concubine Qi and her brother Qi Yu kneeling in the hall.

"Millions of ordnance, these are the things that frontline soldiers depend on for survival. Qi Yu, how dare you do such a thing for your own selfish desires."

The more the emperor spoke, the angrier he became.

He picked up the inkstone lying nearby and smashed it out.

The inkstone was impartial and hit Qi Yu's forehead.

Qi Yu's forehead suddenly started to bleed.

He knelt on the ground and begged again and again: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

"Unjustly accused?" Liang Ruitian raised his sword eyebrows, turned away indifferently, and stared at Qi Yu condescendingly, "General Qi, the things were found in the baggage you brought into the capital. There are all the correspondence. I don't know that General Qi keeps saying that he is unjustly accused. , where is the injustice?"

Qi Yu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Liang Ruitian angrily: "You detained my men as soon as they entered the city last night. It shows that you were well prepared."

Liang Ruitian was annoyed, shrugged his shoulders, and curled his lips slightly: "General Qi, so you also admit that those things were indeed brought into the capital by your people. In other words, you do know about this matter. Then I don't understand you even more. Where does the injustice lie?”

Qi Yu was a good man when leading troops in battle, but when it came to talking about words, his eyesight turned black.

Not to mention that he was in the wrong in this matter.

Being surrounded by Liang Ruitian, he even hesitated and couldn't say a word for a long time.Concubine Qi, on the other hand, glanced at Liang Ruitian, knelt down a little straighter, and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, brother may be at fault. But Mr. Liang knew this, but never reported it. He only waited until he withdrew the things, and then reported it to the emperor in a hurry. It’s quite thought-provoking.”

"If it is based on Master Liang's thoughts and Master Liang planned it, it is not impossible to frame my brother."

Liang Ruitian's eyes widened immediately and he took a step forward: "Concubine Qi, brother, you can't deny those things, right? The things were not found in my house."

"Just because the things were not found in your house, it doesn't mean that you can't have them put into my brother's baggage."

"Your Majesty, these words are too strong to make sense."

"Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, it is Lord Liang's people who searched my brother's baggage, and it is Lord Liang's people who checked and verified it. If Lord Liang wants to do something, wouldn't it be easy?"

After all, Concubine Qi had been by the emperor's side for many years, and she easily figured out the emperor's thoughts.

The coldness in the emperor's eyes was gradually replaced by suspicion.

Concubine Qi saw it clearly and continued: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Liang has no selfish motives, why is there no news before taking action? Why do you wait until the matter is completed before you rush to notify the Emperor?"

"you……"

Liang Ruitian didn't even say anything in rebuttal. He heard the emperor's cold voice coming from the front seat: "Liang Aiqing, why didn't you tell me about this before?"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Qi continued, "I know why Mr. Liang is so anxious to prove his brother's crime today. It's actually because of Mr. Liang's son..."

"Your Majesty." The Queen and Shen Yuexi appeared in time to interrupt Concubine Qi's words.

The queen hugged Liang Yuyu and strode forward.

"Why are you here?" The emperor looked around and saw the little girl in the queen's arms, and the anger on his face weakened a little.

The queen carried Liang Yuyu to the emperor, lowered herself down, whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and told the emperor everything that had happened in her palace.

After saying that, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Concubine Qi in the palace: "I'm afraid that Master Liang chose to disclose General Qi's evil deeds at this time because of this matter. Although Master Liang is not entirely for the consideration of the court, he is full of love The emperor is also a father, so he must be able to understand the heart of a woman."

Liang Yuyu blinked her eyes and looked at the emperor for a few seconds, curled her lips, and two lines of tears fell down.

[I was exhausted from playing today.I’m afraid I’ve shed all my tears this year. 】

Although Liang Yuyu's tears were almost dry, this move was very effective for the emperor.

The emperor took the little girl from the queen's arms distressedly. Looking at the shocking scars on the little face with squirting breasts, the emperor's eyes suddenly became as gloomy as a knife.

"Your Majesty, your concubine..."

Concubine Qi wanted to speak, but the emperor's sharp eye suddenly fell on Concubine Qi's face: "That's enough!"

This scolding directly blocked Concubine Qi's words.

"No matter what the reason is for Liang Aiqing, he chose this time to expose your brother's crimes. It is a fact that your brother used bad things to pass off good things and was corrupt and bribery."

"Your Majesty, my concubine brother..."

"I see that you have been with me for many years, and Qi Yu has made many military exploits at the border, so you are not implicated and executed in accordance with the law. From now on, Concubine Qi is demoted to a concubine and is confined in her palace to reflect. Qi Yu deprives her of the title of general. He was demoted to centurion and temporarily retained in the army to see the consequences."

Concubine Qi was unwilling and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, I, my brother, have been wronged."

"That's enough! If you say one more word, I will definitely execute you."
