Lord, I have

Chapter 259 The Emperor Will Not Believe You
Mu Changhuan's gaze sank, "Come to look for the imperial concubine, of course to find out something related to the imperial concubine."

"It's related to this palace? What's the matter?" Concubine Ling felt a little bit in her heart, but she immediately comforted herself that Mu Changhuan was cheating on her.

"Concubine Ling was bitten by a poisonous snake in the imperial garden, isn't the concubine going to explain it?"

Concubine Ling's eyes sank, "I was bitten by a poisonous snake, shouldn't you go and find out who released the poisonous snake? What's the matter with coming to find Bengong? Do you think Bengong is willing to be bitten?"

The corner of Mu Changhuan's mouth curled up coldly, "The imperial concubine really doesn't want to be bitten, because the poisonous snake is not going to bite you but my wife Ling Shengge."

Concubine Ling's eyes moved, "I don't understand what you said."

"Don't understand? I'm afraid Ling Guifei understands it better than anyone else. You specially arranged the poisonous snake, but you don't want someone to ruin your plan and hurt yourself instead."

Concubine Ling Gui looked at Mu Changhuan, "It's nonsense."

Mu Changhuan's eyes were dark, "Is it possible that the imperial concubine will not cry when she sees the coffin?"

"What evidence do you have to prove that the poisonous snake was arranged by me? Ling Shengge is my niece, why did I want to kill her?" Concubine Ling sneered, "Did the empress buy you to frame me?"

Mu Changhuan felt that the word "arrogant" was specially prepared for people like Concubine Ling.

"Zuogong, the noble concubine wants evidence, bring the evidence to the noble concubine."

As soon as Mu Changhuan's voice fell, Zuogong asked people to drag several people covered in blood into Jinlan Palace.

When Concubine Ling saw the person whose appearance was no longer recognizable, her face changed with fright, "Mu Changhuan, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor to sue you?"

Mu Changhuan frowned, and gave Zuo Gong a wink. Zuo Gong raised the chin of the man who was being escorted to kneel on the ground with the tip of his sword.

"Ah..." Concubine Ling Gui was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost fainted.

"Concubine Ling can see clearly? In order for the concubine to recognize this man, I only peeled off half of his face." When Mu Changhuan said this, his voice was ruthless.

Concubine Ling Gui's chest heaved violently, and a feeling of nausea and discomfort arose spontaneously.

"Mu Changhuan, what do you want?"

"Is your concubine recognized? This person was going to bite my newlywed lady with a poisonous snake that day. Although he clearly belonged to Empress Su, I had already found out that he belonged to you, Concubine Ling." Mu Changhuan said with eyes She narrowed her eyes, "Since the imperial concubine recognized it, drag it down and feed it to the dog!"

The man was dragged out without even a chance to make a sound, leaving a puddle of blood on the bright ground of Jinlan Palace.

Concubine Ling felt horrified, "Does this just mean that you are slandering me? The emperor won't believe you."

Mu Changhuan glanced at Zuo Gong, "If the imperial concubine doesn't admit it, she can't force it, let her see how much trouble she still has.

Zuo Gong asked people to lift up the heads of the remaining bloody men, and what was exposed in front of Concubine Ling was the face that had been peeled off the left side of the face from the middle of the bridge of the nose to the right side of the face.

Concubine Ling Gui was trembling all over and panicked.

"Do you recognize these noble concubines? They were all assassins sent to stop Princess Yu from coming to Ling'an City. Oh, by the way, they seem to belong to the noble concubine too, right?"

Mu Changhuan's eyes turned cold, as if he had walked out of Yan Luodian.

Concubine Ling retreated back but still pretended to be calm, "Do you dare to slander me?"

"Slander?" Mu Changhuan sneered coldly, "If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell the truth obediently. Di Haosi never does things that wrong people. There is only one way to treat people who refuse to admit it, you know of."

Concubine Ling shuddered, she had never seen or heard of Dihaosi's methods, just by looking at the appearance of these people in front of her, she could imagine how much suffering Dihaosi had suffered.

"Mu Changhuan, don't forget that I am the emperor's woman!" Concubine Ling's eyes widened.

Mu Changhuan looked at Concubine Ling Gui with a strong sarcasm on his face.

"The emperor's woman? The imperial concubine, haven't you heard the saying that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are the same crime? If you forget, I will remind you again."

Concubine Ling bit her lip, "I want to see the emperor."

"It's fine to see the emperor, as long as the empress confesses to the wrong things she committed, I will immediately let the empress go to Long Qianlong."

Concubine Ling Gui snorted coldly and ran directly outside the palace, Zuo Gong drew out the sword and laid it in front of Concubine Ling Gui.

"Mu Changhuan, do you dare to let someone stop me?" Concubine Ling Gui lost her usual demeanor and turned her head to shout at Mu Changhuan.

Mu Changhuan looked at her, "If you obediently admit what you've done, I won't stop you, but if you don't say it, I don't know if you can keep your beautiful skin."

"Come here... come here..." Concubine Ling Gui yelled in horror, no matter how much she shouted, no one appeared.

"Stop yelling, everyone in your palace is asleep now!" Mu Changhuan hooked his hands and came straight over. Two people grabbed Concubine Ling Gui's arms and pushed her to her knees on the ground.

"Mu Changhuan, I am a noble concubine, you will have your head beheaded for committing an offense like this!" Concubine Ling Gui struggled.

"Since the emperor gave me the right to kill first and play later, I don't think I will take the words of the imperial concubine too seriously. After all, the imperial concubine has done so many unreasonable things, if the emperor knows, I am afraid that hating the imperial concubine is the second, will you? It’s hard to say that the imperial concubine will be severely punished.”

Mu Changhuan added, "Framing Princess Yu and making the emperor lose someone he likes, what the imperial concubine has done is truly amazing."

"Mu Changhuan, I have nothing to say, you are slandering me." Concubine Ling refused to admit it.

"Okay, if the imperial concubine doesn't say anything, then we can only use some means." Mu Changhuan stood up, "Zuo Gong, be gentle, don't let the imperial concubine hurt to death."

Zuo Gong gave Concubine Ling a cold look, "This subordinate knows."

Seeing Mu Changhuan turn away, Concubine Ling yelled in horror, "Mu Changhuan, what do you want him to do to me? Mu Changhuan, come back, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!"

Mu Changhuan went out of Jinlan Palace and glanced at Jun Chengyi who was sitting outside, "Isn't the emperor going to stop the minister?"

Jun Chengyi glanced at Mu Changhuan, "She really sent someone to harm Princess Yu?"

"Didn't the emperor hear their confession when I was interrogating those people? Concubine Ling Gui didn't deny that they were not hers when she saw them just now. If the emperor doesn't believe those people, you can wait to see Concubine Ling Gui's confession. She admits it's best."

Jun Chengyi's eyes sank, "If it's really her, wouldn't I have blamed Empress Su wrongly for so many years?"

Mu Changhuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

Jun Chengyi frowned, "Even if she was the one who sabotaged my marriage to Princess Yu, why did she still harm Yu Zizhen when she married Linghou?"

"This minister can't guess, won't the truth come out when Concubine Ling Gui herself speaks out!"

Concubine Ling Gui screamed from the bedroom, and Zuo Gong came out after a short while.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling has recruited."

Jun Chengyi's eyes turned cold, "What did she say?"

"She sent people to do what happened back then. Nine years ago, she also sent people to hijack Mrs. Hou's Mansion and Miss Fourth. There are also women in the palace who were favored by the emperor but died suddenly and disappeared. She is related to her."

Jun Chengyi's eyes widened, "Mu Changhuan, could it be that the torture forced her to say that she couldn't bear it?"

Mu Changhuan's eyes moved, "Your Majesty, after all, Concubine Ling Gui is His Majesty's woman. Even though I say that, I absolutely dare not punish her."

Zuo Gong answered from the side, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine was frightened when she saw those being tortured, and she said everything when she got scared."

Jun Chengyi took a deep breath and strode into Jinlan Palace, Zuo Gong glanced at Mu Changhuan, Mu Changhuan nodded, and the two of them followed in together.

In Jinlan Palace, besides the smell of blood, there was also the smell of excrement and urine. Concubine Ling Gui was limp on the ground and her body was in a mess.

Jun Chengyi stopped in disgust, and looked down at Concubine Ling with cold eyes.

"Ling Rui, I didn't expect you to be so vicious."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save your concubine, Your Majesty..." Concubine Ling Gui rushed over, looking as if she was too frightened to go crazy.

"Ling Rui, I ask you why you want to kill Yu Zizhen?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged, it was Mu Changhuan who forced her!" Ling Rui hugged Jun Chengyi's thigh tightly and refused to let go.

Zuo Gong took out the paper she had drawn on, "This is the crime that the imperial concubine herself confessed to. Does the imperial concubine want to go back on her word?"

"Your Majesty, they are the ones who forced confessions from my concubines, and my concubines are so scared!" Concubine Ling Gui cried.

"Extort a confession? I didn't see any injuries on your body." Jun Chengyi wanted to tear away her hand holding his thigh, but she hugged him even tighter.

"The emperor wants to make decisions for his concubines, and Mu Changhuan wants to put them to death." Concubine Ling's snot and tears completely lost her usual dignity.

"Your Majesty, I see that the imperial concubine is not in the right mood. To avoid hurting the emperor, I ask the emperor to stay away." Mu Changhuan waved his hand and left, and someone pulled Concubine Ling away.

"Your Majesty—quickly save the concubine, he wants to kill the concubine, Your Majesty!" Concubine Ling Gui was terrified.

Just now Zuo Gong gesticulated next to her ear with a dagger and said that as long as he scratched lightly and sprinkled some medicine on her wound, her face would be peeled off. She was so scared, so scared!
At this time, the emperor is her life-saving straw, and she cannot let the emperor leave.

The corner of Mu Changhuan's mouth twitched, "Imperial Concubine, didn't you just explain clearly, if you tell the truth to the emperor, maybe the emperor will not leave."

Ling Rui stared at Jun Chengyi with wide eyes, "Your Majesty."

Jun Chengyi's eyes moved, "You tell the truth, Zhen Nian will not punish you for all these years of relationship."

Ling Rui's lips trembled, she was struggling in her heart, she didn't know whether she should tell the truth, if she didn't tell the truth, the emperor would turn around and leave, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't care how cruel Mu Changhuan was to her.But if she tells the truth, will the emperor forgive her?can you?
Seeing Ling Rui's troubled expression, Mu Changhuan interjected, "As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. The imperial concubine and empress only made a wrong step. As long as you turn around as soon as possible, the emperor will not blame you."
