Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 860 Volume Two 381 Wrong Side (5 More)
The Queen's heart trembled.But he still looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty is saying that the concubine's actions are the result of the concubine's inaction these years? Since the Emperor said so, is there any evidence?"

The emperor laughed instead: "Evidence? Empress, seeing that you are asking like this, you are sure that I will not be able to find any evidence."

At this moment, the emperor even stretched out his hand himself, brushing away a few strands of hair stuck to the queen's forehead that were stuck in cold sweat.

"When I issued a decree to order the imperial family, Jue Luoxian's banner, and the Manchu Langzhong in the mansion to enter the imperial hospital, I became more aware that I would not be able to find out the evidence... because all kinds of traces are more and more pointing to the medicine outside the customs. And the queen You were born in Jingqi, but Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia have family members who are still outside the customs. If we continue to investigate, what I will find out is that Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia's mother's family has "poisoned" the concubine, and they have nothing to do with the Queen You are not implicated!"

The queen's face paled instantly: "Your Majesty thinks that this concubine kills three birds with one stone and plots against the concubine Ling, Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia at the same time?"

The emperor sighed softly: "Queen, to be honest, I don't dare to continue the investigation. I am really afraid that not only will you be abolished, but also your nine clans will be implicated! At that time, Xiaojiu, and now far away Fu Qing, who watched over the tranquility of the west for me in the snowy region, will be implicated by you!"

"A good minister is rare, and the country must be safe. I dare not continue to pursue it just because of Xiaojiu and your second brother!"

The queen choked with sobs, stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's hand: "Your majesty... I have been wronged!"

The emperor nodded: "I know that even if I have such a heart-to-heart relationship with you, you will still say that you are wronged! Because...you want to be a virtuous empress who will last forever, so you naturally don't want to leave half a stain on yourself. !"

"Look, all the ministers at this time know that the queen is frugal and only wear grass and velvet flowers on her head; in autumn, all the Mongolian princes know that the queen made a scythe purse for me from deer tail fluff; even you are raising The Palace of Heart serves me...and I can be bumped into by foreign ministers!"

"How many things can everyone outside the palace know about the palace? But your virtuousness, queen, has already been known to everyone in the previous dynasty and outsiders! After you have been here for a hundred years, I don't need you to promote it for you. , people outside the palace will naturally use pen and ink to set up a monument for you!"

A string of tears rolled down the queen's eyes.

The emperor narrowed his eyes lightly: "Do you still remember the year when I first came to the throne, I ordered Castiglione to paint portraits for me and you? Lang Shining is a Westerner, and his portraits are the most realistic, and his paintings are always the same as real people. But you and you in his paintings The portraits of Huixian and the others have disappointed me greatly."

"Because...you and Huixian on the portrait are exactly the same! If outsiders see it, they can be regarded as twin sisters. But you are clearly from a famous Manchu family, but she is from a Han surname. How can you two look different? Like that?"

"Queen... When Castiglione took the portraits for you, I wasn't with you. Therefore, you are the only one who knows best how the appearance of you and Huixian became like twins under Castiglione's pen."

"Did he paint Huixian as you, or did he paint you as Huixian? If he painted Huixian wrong, it is understandable; but you are the queen, how dare he paint your face wrongly?" ? If the painting is really wrong, do you still want his head?... Unless you allow, or hint, to ask him to transfer all the beautiful features of Huixian to your portrait!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he reached out and touched the queen's cheek.

"At this moment, if you talk about the portrait, do you think the face in front of me is you, the queen, or... Hui Xian?"
