Chapter 876 The Truth About Death
The queen also couldn't bear it. First of all, she was very clear about Concubine Gu's behavior. She should not be the kind of person who would kill Qing Zhaoyi. When she came, Yingrui's loyalty from the beginning to the various identifications she made now is really true. The change is too big, and there is fear of deceit in it. Thirdly, since the emperor is asking her what she means, she naturally hopes to ease it, and she has no reason to go against the emperor's intention.

"Your majesty, the concubine thinks that although the court lady Yingrui pointed out that this matter was done by Concubine Gu, but Concubine Gu did not admit it, the case cannot be finalized. If it is true, Concubine Gu must be convinced, otherwise it will be like this , first imprison Concubine Gu, let’s investigate this matter again before deciding.”

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Then follow the queen's wishes, come and take Concubine Gu back to Xuanhua Palace, and don't step out of the room without my order."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Gu choked up and nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I also ask Your Majesty to investigate this case to the bottom, and return my concubine to be innocent." Gu Concubine was being taken away while shouting.

The emperor had no intention of staying any longer, and turned to leave, but the empress called out to him: "Your Majesty, what should I do with this court lady Yingrui?"

The emperor paused, and said irritably: "The queen can figure it out."

"promise."

"Congratulations to the emperor."

After the emperor left, the empress looked at the other concubines: "You all go back too, I have to deal with some things."

The concubines said yes, and then they all left. During the period, Concubine Liu turned to look at the queen, but quickly withdrew her gaze and left the punishment palace.

After everyone left, the queen walked up to Yingrui. Yingrui raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the servant has nothing to ask for, but I only ask for your mercy, so that I can give the servant a happy time."

"Give you a good time?" The queen smiled: "It is still useful for me to keep you, how can I let you die so easily?"

Yingrui's face was startled, as if she was afraid, and the people in the Xinggong Palace couldn't understand what the Queen meant by her words.

But soon, the queen gave orders: "For the outside world, Yingrui is already dead, but in fact, I want her to live. This small matter, you Xinggong can handle it properly."

Several female officials in the punishment palace glanced at each other, and nodded in response: "Slaves and servants, please obey the Queen's order."

The queen curled her lips and smiled in satisfaction, and then turned to leave. Yingrui opened her eyes wide and wanted to scream, but the female officer beside her quickly covered her mouth with sharp eyes and hands. In the end, she could only make a whining sound. Yingrui was very upset She was about to be taken down, she had wounds on her body, bloodstains all over the ground as she was dragged, it looked really scary, but in this torture palace, such scenes can be said to be commonplace, who would care?

East Palace.

When Yun Lanyue got the news, and heard that it was Gu Bi's hands, she nodded in surprise, and said to herself, "It's her style."

"My lady, Miss Gu is wronged."

Yun Lanyue twitched the corner of her mouth: "So what? In this harem, how many people would care whether she was wronged or whether she really did it?"

"It's true, but Concubine Gu is too pitiful. She has done nothing, but she will be wronged as a murderer."

"It's just being locked up now. If there is no other evidence to prove that she was wronged in a few days, then she will be convicted directly. It will not be too late to come to pity her."

Ji Shui blinked his eyes and asked, "Ma'am, aren't you going to help Concubine Gu?"

"All the evidence points to Concubine Gu. How can I help her? What's more, I haven't figured out why Shen Qingmin did this, and what will be her next step? Ben Gong's trick to enter the game, Ben Gong helped Concubine Gu, didn't he fall into her trick?"

Ji Shui nodded: "That makes sense, but are we just going to see Concubine Gu being wronged like this? If convicting Concubine Gu, the lightest thing is to put him in limbo."

Yun Lanyue sighed heavily and didn't say anything. Now that she has no evidence to prove that Concubine Gu is innocent, it means that what she says now is nonsense. Since it is nonsense, then simply stop talking. .

Qiao Cui came back soon, hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the court lady Yingrui has been executed."

"Executed?"

"That's right, ma'am."

"Are you sure you have been executed?"

"Yes, the corpses have all been transported out."

Yun Lanyue frowned, Yingrui was the only witness, even though she insisted that Concubine Gu instructed her, but there were obviously many doubts in it, why did she execute her?In that case, wouldn't there be no evidence at all?Concubine Gu's crime is equivalent to being convicted.

"Who took the lead?"

"The Emperor said that the Empress Dowager can do whatever she wants, but the servants heard that before Yingrui revealed who the real culprit was, she had asked her to let the Emperor and the Empress give her a good time after she told the truth. "

Yun Lanyue sneered: "She is dead clean, but it's a pity that no one will feel sorry for her."

Ji Shui didn't understand: "Mother, why did Qing Zhaoyi let Yingrui willingly die for her tricks? Logically speaking, no one would be so stupid, not to mention that Yingrui is not someone close to Qing Zhaoyi at all, even if it is for loyalty, It's not her turn either."

Yun Lanyue frowned: "The news you two brought back before is that Yingrui was originally a beautiful woman. After the beautiful woman was thrown into the cold palace, Yingrui was also implicated and was taken away for retraining. , was selected into the Xuanhua Palace later?"

"Yes, my lady. I have carefully investigated the process. There is nothing wrong with the process. Everything is done according to the rules. Yingrui was not called Yingrui at first. My lady knows that. To be retrained, even the name has to be changed.”

"How did Yingrui live after she arrived at Xuanhua Palace?"

Ji Shui shook his head: "Yingrui is a beautiful woman. Although her name has been changed, some people still know her. The two masters of Xuanhua Palace were both killed by the beautiful woman. One left a scar on her body, and the other was beaten so badly." Many slaps, Yingrui went to Xuanhua Palace and was bullied by the two masters respectively, so naturally her life is not good."

Hearing this, Yun Lanyue smiled: "Shen Qingmin knows how to buy people's hearts best. When Yingrui is being bullied, as long as she is the master, she can help and say a few words. Yingrui will definitely be grateful, but the poor thing is, Yingrui didn't even know that she was being used, to put it bluntly, those who bullied her were probably instructed by Shen Qingmin to do so."

She played a show and got a loyal servant who was willing to die for her, and the deal was definitely worth it.
