Queen is fearless

Chapter 155 Countermeasures
"Jin's peace of mind, I'm here for everything, you just need to take care of it with peace of mind, and I will seek justice for you and your child."

After blowing the medicine to cool down and bringing it to Gu Jinzhi, Zhou Jing said solemnly.

Gu Jinzhi nodded, took the medicine, drank it in one gulp, and frowned tightly.

Bai Zhi prepared candied fruit, Zhou Jing twisted a piece and fed it to Gu Jinzhi.

"Go to sleep for a while." Right now, Gu Jinzhi needs to rest more, Zhou Jing instructed a few words and watched her close her eyes.

…………

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!" Bixi walked in from outside the hall with a panicked expression.

Concubine Dong was leaning on the soft couch, thinking about today's events, she was very upset.

"What's the matter, flustered?" Frowning, Concubine Dong looked at Bixi, rarely seeing her so flustered.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress Dowager is pregnant!" I reported the news I just received to Concubine Dong.

Bixi has been by Concubine Dong's side for many years, and knows her very well. She knows that the master has never wanted the queen to be pregnant.

What happened today, the master is innocent, she definitely did not push the queen into the water.

But now, the queen is pregnant, and it is heard that there are scars on her hands, so the master may not be able to tell clearly.

"What did you say?" Concubine Dong's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant. Not only that, she also has scars on her hands. This time, I'm afraid you will be the one to escape the blame!"

If you are in the capital, you can also send people to Dong's house and let the family members think of a way.

But right now in the palace, even if someone is sent back, they won't be able to come back without a few months.

At that time, even if you have an idea, it may be useless.

"How...how did she get pregnant?" Eye circles turned red, Concubine Dong didn't care that she would not escape the blame, what she cared about was that the empress was pregnant.

She stretched out her hand to touch her lower abdomen. She has been by the emperor's side for so many years, but her stomach has never moved, not at all.

"Niang Niang, now is not the time to be sad, you have to find a way quickly!"

Seeing Concubine Dong's current appearance, Bixi spoke again, pulling her back from her emotions.

"What do you think? Even if it can be proved that the queen was not pushed down by me, and there is no way to explain the injury on her hand, the emperor must trust the queen, not me."

When Director Yuan came here before, he was certain that the queen was not good at water. If she told the emperor that the queen fell into it by herself, she actually knew how to swim. She still wanted to drag herself to death. I'm afraid the emperor would be even more angry?

Thinking of this, Concubine Dong showed a self-deprecating smile on her lips.

She has always been the one who schemed against others, but she never thought that she would be schemed against now, and so carefully.

No wonder, the queen would pull her leg, just to make herself speechless, right?

"Your Majesty..." Bixi stood aside, feeling very sad seeing the master's expression.

"Bu Ruo... Bu Ruo Niang, let's plant everything on the servant girl!" After thinking for a while, Bixi spoke again.

"No matter what, the empress can't do anything. Even if the emperor wants to send empress down, there must be a reason."

"The empress fell into the water by herself. The empress fell into the water to save the empress."

"It's just that the empress didn't expect that the servant jumped into the water from the other side while no one was paying attention. The servant wanted the empress to die, so when she held the servant, she kicked her hand."

"After the emperor went into the water, the servants were afraid of being discovered, so they slipped away quietly from the water and returned to the palace first. The empress only needs to find a few more people to testify for you."

Kneeling on the ground, Bixi had a firm face, she said so, making Concubine Dong wave her hands again and again.

"No, how can I sacrifice you to protect myself?" Although Concubine Dong had a lot of blood on her hands over the years, the tourmaline is different.

Both her and Pearl are her confidantes, the people who grew up with her since childhood.

In her heart, they are not only slaves, but also relatives.

"Your Majesty! At this time, sacrificing your slaves to protect yourself is the best policy. Only if you keep your position can you have a future!"

Seeing that the master didn't agree immediately, Bixi was very relieved in her heart, she spoke again and continued to persuade Concubine Dong.

"But..." Concubine Dong still hesitated, she knew that if the tourmaline was really pushed out, the emperor would never let her off lightly, and she would definitely die.

"Your Majesty, just listen to Bixi!" Zhuzhu also wanted to help Concubine Dong take the blame, but she didn't know how to use water. If the emperor checked the authenticity, she would be exposed.

Therefore, this matter can only be handed over to Tourmaline, although she is also very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to hesitate any longer! You have to tie up your servants now and send them to the Hall of Yiyuan!"

Bixi looked at Concubine Dong and stretched out her hand. Concubine Dong's tears finally fell.

"I will avenge you, for sure!" Wiping away her tears, Concubine Dong looked at Pearl. "Tie her up and send her to the Hall of Yiyuan!"

She knew in her heart that what Bixi said was right, only by protecting herself first could she think about anything else.

If she couldn't stand up right now, then she would really have no chance in the future, and the Dong family would also be implicated.

Pearl responded with a sob, and tied the tourmaline. Concubine Dong tidied up a little, and took the tourmaline and pearl to the Hall of Yiyuan.

Gu Jinzhi fell asleep, and Zhou Jing came out of the inner room lightly.

The question just now was brought up again, and Zhou Jing pondered how to deal with Concubine Dong.

Yuan Bao stood aside, waiting for the emperor to speak, and when Zhou Jing was about to speak, a report from the palace servant came from outside the palace.

"Reporting to the emperor, Concubine Dong and her people kneeled outside the Hall of Yiyuan."

Unexpectedly, Concubine Dong would come, Zhou Jing frowned, stood up from the soft couch, and walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, Concubine Dong knelt on the ground with tourmaline and pearls, tourmaline was tied up, very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty." Seeing the Emperor coming out of Yiyuan Hall, Concubine Dong kowtowed to him.

Zhou Jing didn't answer, looked at Bixi, and then turned her gaze back to Concubine Dong.

"What are you doing here?" At this moment, Zhou Jing didn't want to see her. If it wasn't for her, Jin Zhi wouldn't have had a gassy pregnancy, almost got into an accident, and wouldn't have been injured.

"I beg your majesty to forgive me. I came here to plead guilty." Kowtowing again, the coldness in the emperor's words made her feel chilly.

"Earlier, the empress accidentally fell into the water, and my concubine wanted to save the empress, but was blocked by this lowly maid." Turning around and pointing to Bixi, Concubine Dong continued.

"It was she who, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, entered the pond and dragged the empress to the depths in an attempt to murder the empress. After she wanted to escape, she was caught by the empress, so she kicked the empress, causing the empress to be injured."

"Fortunately, the emperor came in time and saved the empress, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. It's because the concubine is not strict with her subordinates. Please forgive me."

With just a few words, all the crimes were blamed on Tourmaline.

Yuan Bao stood aside, peeking at the emperor's gloomy face, he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly, this concubine Dong is really not a fuel-efficient lamp...
