Chapter 895 The Evidence Is Solid
As soon as the emperor said this, coupled with Hongxia's performance just now, Yun Lanyue finally understood that Hongxia is really a smart girl, knowing that things will be revealed and her master will suffer, she will naturally not have a good result, so Only pretending to be loyal to protect the lord, the emperor attaches great importance to the word loyalty, seeing her like this, he will naturally be moved, look, this will not save a life.

Hongxia kept sobbing, as if she was crying for Concubine Rui, and also for her own incompetence. She refused to tell the truth for a long time, until the emperor's patience was worn out by her, and she was forced to tell the truth again. She was crying and talking.

"Return to the emperor's words." Just these few words have already made her cry, with a helpless look: "The servant did all this under the order of the empress, but to bribe Lu Quanrong who guards the palace gate, There are also arrangements for people to go outside the palace to steal tokens, the empress really doesn't know about it."

"really!"

"Slaves don't dare to say half a lie, these empresses really don't know."

The emperor nodded: "I believe your words, so tell me the truth, why did Concubine Rui kill Qing Zhaoyi, and why did she frame Concubine Gu?"

Hongxia is so smart, she knows that just relying on the emperor to spare you from death cannot guarantee her own safety, as long as Concubine Rui takes the blame for Qing Zhaoyi, then she will be the only one who knows the truth of the matter, as for that Yingrui , her family's life is still in Qing Zhaoyi's hands, she will definitely talk to her, she is surrendering to Qing Zhaoyi now, if Qing Zhaoyi has a head, she will definitely intercede for her, lest she be in danger What should not be said.

So, there was just that picture.

"Returning to the emperor, the empress has always been jealous of Qing Zhaoyi. After Qing Zhaoyi was promoted this time, the empress hated her even more. She told the servants many times that she would get rid of her sooner or later, so she also paid special attention to Qing Zhaoyi. I haven't gone to Qing Zhaoyi's place for a long time, I guess Qing Zhaoyi has fallen out of favor, that's why I was motivated to kill, and asked my servant to find a trustworthy person, that is Yingrui."

"Well, go on:"

"If someone dies in Xuanhua Palace, even if Qing Zhaoyi is no longer favored, the emperor will definitely intervene in the investigation, so the empress said that she wanted to find a substitute for the dead ghost, thinking about it, and only the empress Gu is the most suitable, because the empress is just right. Living with Qing Zhaoyi, and the relationship between the two is not as good as before, it is reasonable to blame her."

The emperor was so angry: "You have thought about it step by step. Between playing with the empress and applauding, if I hadn't ordered the empress to investigate again, wouldn't it be possible for you to succeed?"

"Your Majesty forgives the sin. Your Majesty did this because she cared too much about the Emperor and wanted to get more favor from the Emperor. Even if your Majesty is guilty, please ask the Emperor to spare her life for the sake of her giving birth to twins for the royal family." Come on, this servant is willing to take it on my behalf!"

"You are a maid of honor, but it's a pity that your master never thought of protecting you."

Concubine Rui trembled when she heard this, and she didn't know whether it was from fear or anger. Her eyes were red, and she suddenly looked at Qing Zhaoyi, obviously hating her very much. Her behavior like this coincided with what Hongxia said, the emperor Also convinced of it.

Shen Qingmin got up and knelt down to Concubine Gu: "Sister Concubine Gu, it was all because of my concubine that I made my sister suffer. Fortunately, the emperor is wise and fair to my sister. Thousands of mistakes are all the concubine's fault. Please don't let her suffer." To be angry with the emperor, I kowtow to you here to make amends." As she spoke, she kowtowed three times to Concubine Gu, as devoutly as worshiping the dead.

Concubine Gu might still be able to put on an air in front of the emperor, but she couldn't do that with Shen Qingmin, she turned her head away and pretended she didn't see it.

Shen Qingmin couldn't help being wronged, and knelt on the ground without saying a word. The emperor saw it, glanced at Concubine Gu dissatisfied, and then comforted Qing Zhaoyi: "My concubine, get up quickly, what has this matter to do with you, you too. Victim, besides, you have been pleading for Concubine Gu in front of me, I know it in my heart, and Concubine Gu should also know that she will not argue with you."

"Really, Sister Gu Bin?"

"Of course it's true." Gu Concubine didn't reply, the emperor spoke instead of Gu Concubine, and even winked at Su Ping, Su Ping understood, and went to help Qing Zhaoyi up.

The emperor looked at the empress and praised: "The empress really impresses me, why do you doubt Concubine Rui?"

Speaking of this, the empress sighed, with regret in her voice, she shook her head and said: "I don't know whether I should say it or not, but if I say it, I'm afraid the emperor will be sad."

"What can't be said, if I want to know the truth, why should the empress hide it?"

"In this case, the concubine will not hide it." With a long sigh, the queen continued: "The concubine is deeply moved by this matter. The word poison is really a pain in the concubine's heart."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, he also sighed.

"The concubine was thinking about being poisoned, so she thought of Liu Zhaoyi poisoning Concubine Rui when she was in the autumn hunt the year before last, but the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became, because in the concubine's impression, Liu Zhaoyi was not A man who is good at using poison."

The emperor thumped in his heart: "Does the queen mean that?"

The queen nodded: "Your majesty's guess is correct, and the concubine also suspects that Concubine Rui is related to this matter. Although Yingrui said that she was the one who poisoned her, the concubine thinks that the rules in the palace are strict, and Yingrui is Xuanhua." How could the person in charge of the master's tea in the palace easily obtain a deadly poison like arsenic? The emperor also knew what happened afterwards, and the concubine sent Liu Shun to check whether Concubine Rui had learned this way. That's why Hongxia who was beside Concubine Rui sent someone outside the palace to steal Liu Shun's token."

The emperor looked at Hongxia, squinted his eyes and shouted: "Tell me, did your master do what happened to Liu Zhaoyi?"

Hongxia shuddered, subconsciously glanced at Concubine Rui, and then nodded sadly: "The matter of Liu Zhaoyi was indeed done by the empress, and it was at that time that the servants knew that the empress knew how to refine poison."

The emperor seemed unwilling to believe it, and asked Liu Shun: "You checked outside the palace, what did you find?"

Liu Shun cupped his hands and replied: "My Majesty, I have found out that Concubine Rui's biological mother was born in a brothel and knew some heresy ways, such as developing love potions. Concubine Rui has been very interested in refining medicine since she was a child, and she has talent, so Concubine Rui's Her natal family also specially asked her to learn a little bit from the doctor at home, the humble job has been checked, that doctor is best at refining poison, and now she is still working in Concubine Rui's natal family, the emperor can interrogate her at any time."

"No need!" The emperor said coldly, "I know it well."
