Chapter 314 The concubine begs for mercy
  Zhao Sijing listened to Chu Lixuan's words, walked up to Tingqin, and cried to Tingqin, "Tingqin, you were still young when I entered the palace. I didn't consider this issue, so I entrusted you with important tasks." , this is my fault, I was unaware for a moment,
  But I didn’t expect that you would be so weak-willed at such a young age, and that you would be deceived to the point of greedy for money from Prince Mo’s palace. I’ll forget about it if your reputation is damaged. I didn’t expect that you would still refuse to admit it. You are really too much. Let me down. "

Tingqin looked at Zhao Sijing's appearance and moved her lips in shock.

Then, Zhao Sijing stretched out her hand and slapped Tingqin hard several times. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you still want your life? If you still want it, then quickly apologize to the prince and admit your mistake.
  With the kindness of your brother and parents, as long as you admit your mistakes, I believe that the prince will not embarrass you. Acknowledging your mistakes can make a lot of improvements. If you don't repent, it will be too late. "

After listening to Zhao Sijing's words, Tingqin lowered her head in deep thought and said nothing.

After a moment, Tingqin raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and she said, "Your Majesty, what happened today...is...it was my fault. Please spare my life for the sake of my brother.

It's all because I'm greedy and want to keep the money for myself. That's why things like this happened. It's because the prince misjudged me. I'm sorry for the prince, and please forgive me. "

"Tingqin, let me ask you, did you secretly help Zhao Sijing take out the palace's account book before, and then added an expenditure of three thousand taels to it?"

Ning Muqing suddenly asked.

Tingqin was suddenly startled by Ning Muqing's look.

Her eyes were clear and she seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts.

Why has Ning Muqing become so powerful now? Tingqin always felt that Ning Muqing seemed to know everything. In fact, she had never done such a thing, but Zhao Sijing next to her suddenly pinched Tingqin, and she nodded while crying. He said, "Yes, I did it. I did it all. I'm sorry for the prince, and I'm sorry for the palace."

"But before that, you didn't know Accountant Li at all. Even because of your young age, Butler Zhou didn't even let you go out of the palace a few times. How did you get in touch with Accountant Li and then discuss things with him? Such a big thing happened?"

Ning Muqing asked.

Tingqin glanced at Zhao Sijing subconsciously, but when Zhao Sijing glared at her, she quickly stammered, "Yes... Accountant Li came to see me. That day when the concubine came into the house, Accountant Li also came with her.

He told me that I would have a good life only if he took care of the accounts, so he asked me to find an opportunity to steal the account book to him. Later, he added a few words on the account book, framed Sun Accountant for corruption, and kicked Sun Accountant out. "

"You were from the palace at the time and you were loyal to the prince. Why did you listen to someone you had only met once and betray the palace?" Ning Muqing asked again.

Tingqin glanced at Zhao Sijing again and said hurriedly, "Yes... accountant Li cares about me very much, and the concubine is also gentle, which makes me feel warm, so... I want to help them."

"Speaking of which, Concubine Zhao and Accountant Li are not related to you. You have never even met each other before. Why do you want to help them? Accountant Li still obeys Concubine Zhao's orders." Ning Mu Qing asked coldly, "Logically speaking, the palace is your home. No place can give you more warmth than the palace. Why did you betray the palace?"

At this time, Zhao Sijing was so angry that she almost vomited blood after listening to Ning Muqing's words.

She stared closely at Tingqin. She only asked Tingqin to admit that she had enriched her own pockets, but she did not say that she would also let Tingqin take the blame for stealing the account book two years ago.

What a fool.

Even now that disaster is approaching, we should know what we can and cannot admit. He should have let Chu Lixuan beat her to death if he had known about her earlier. Hearing what Qin said, he immediately betrayed Zhao Sijing.

The story of this incident was told by Ning Muqing. Everyone thought that Zhao Sijing had roped in Tingqin and asked Accountant Li to instigate Tingqin, just to drive away Accountant Sun and bring Accountant Li in.

Zhao Sijing hurriedly gave a hint to her confidant Nanny Wang. Nanny Wang was a good person, and she was the dowry brought by Zhao Sijing from the Zhao family. She knew more about Zhao Sijing than Tingqin.

Naturally, at this time, she understood what Zhao Sijing meant more clearly. She said quickly, "Prince and concubine, please be aware that this matter has nothing to do with our concubine. It is actually my fault. I admit everything.
  In fact, the old slave watched Accountant Li grow up, and the old slave was his wet nurse. He had never found a suitable job after he passed the examination as a scholar, and the old slave had always seen this and was anxious in his heart. "

"Later, the concubine married into the palace, and the slaves also followed the concubine to the palace. Seeing that Tingqin liked the concubine and also liked Accountant Li, I became interested and wanted Accountant Li to go to the palace to find a job.

The old slave has calculated that the accounting office is the most suitable one. The dignity of the accounting office will not make the Zhao family lose face. Moreover, accounting office Sun is getting old. It is time to give the work to younger people. The most important thing is that he can still make profits from it.

However, Accountant Sun seemed dissatisfied with the old man and had no intention of leaving the palace. He also wanted to train a successor, so the old slave and Accountant Li discussed a plan to frame Accountant Sun.
  Tingqin didn't know it at first. The old slave asked her to steal the account books from Sun's accounting room. She didn't know what she was going to do. After adding some money later, the old slave asked her to send the account books back.
  Later, the concubine and the concubine reported on Sun's accountant and found dirty silver from the table in the accountant's office. The old slave did it all by himself. All these dirty things were done by the old slave alone and had nothing to do with the concubine. She didn't know anything. . "

"Also, it was the old slave who later had the idea to make the merchants and Accountant Li lie about their accounts and steal money. Tingqin was responsible for the purchases, and the old slave was responsible for the bills and receipts.
  The old slave cooperated with the merchant to give a fake receipt, and asked Accountant Li to turn a blind eye, and then took out the accountant's money. The concubine didn't know anything.
  The old slave originally thought that he would get some money to support himself until old age. Then he saw that Accountant Li would not starve to death, so he felt relieved. The remaining 300,000 taels were all in the old slave's room.

This money is enough for us to have food and clothing for several generations. I didn’t expect that when I was about to leave, I would be discovered by the princess during the accounting. Now that the matter has been exposed, the old slave will not quibble.
  The old slave betrayed the trust of the concubine and asked the prince to punish the slave if he wanted to. The slave is willing to admit his mistake and accept the punishment, but the princess is innocent and she did everything wrong. "

When Grandma Wang said this, she collapsed and cried loudly. Her face was full of regret and reluctance to leave this world.

Ning Muqing was not led in as they said, and suddenly said, "Mother Wang, there is a loophole in what you said. Isn't Accountant Li a relative of the Zhao family? Logically speaking, with the Zhao family's ability, they want to give him It's not difficult to arrange a good errand. Why didn't the Zhao family arrange it and asked you to come instead? You are just a nanny. "

Grandma Wang was still crying. When Ning Muqing said this, she hurriedly said, "That's it. Originally, Mr. Zhao also arranged an errand for Accountant Li, but it was physical work. Accountant Li is a scholar, how can he do it?" To be able to do such rough work and not be able to continue doing it for just two days undoubtedly irritated Mr. Zhao."

At this time, Zhao Sijing looked at Grandma Wang in disbelief with red eyes.

"Mother Wang, why did you betray me too!" As she said that, Zhao Sijing raised her hand and slapped Grandma Wang on the face. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have always treated you well, and I will treat you all the way after I get married." With you, why do you still want to unite with outsiders to do things that harm the palace? Originally, I was thinking that Tingqin would not do such a thing, and I was very confused why. Now that I heard you say this, I know that it was you who was behind it. After doing so much! You really let me down."

As he spoke, Zhao Sijing covered her heart, looking like she had angina.

Seeing this, Yue Lin stepped forward and found a maid to help Zhao Sijing continue to sit down.

"Concubine, since this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Chu Lixuan saw this and said.

Zhao Sijing kept crying, feeling very guilty, "No, no, Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Grandma Wang here, and I shouldn't have ignored her for a while. But I still don't want to They lost their lives because of their greed."
