The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 36
Seeing the three of them running away, the guard who guarded the gate shouted from behind: "What's the matter, are you still going out?"

The old eunuch who was leading the team turned around and saw that there was no one in the car, and came over angrily and shouted, "You monkeys dare to be lazy, let's see how I deal with you later!"

Then two people were transferred from other cars and drove out of the palace gate.

Here Qingchen ran back desperately, his heart like cooking on a frying pan.

She knew very well in her heart that with Concubine Shu's conceited personality, she would never have the slightest bit of pity for a little maid.

Besides, she has always disliked herself, so she will definitely blame Jin Yun for both new and old grudges.

Qingchen stumbled and fell into Yinfengxuan, hurriedly changed his clothes, and led Jinxin and the others towards the Buddhist hall.

On the way, they ran into a few young eunuchs who came out of Concubine Ning's palace, and the little eunuch said to Qingchen arrogantly: "Your Majesty Wan is here, so that slave doesn't have to look for you everywhere, Concubine Ning has invited you Let’s go to Yihua Palace.”

The bad premonition in Qingchen's heart became more and more serious, and he asked anxiously, "Is Jin Yun there too?"

The little eunuch nodded slightly, and replied: "The emperor is also there."

Jinxiu followed for a few steps and stopped suddenly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she turned around and ran towards Huayu Palace without making a sound.

Yihua Palace is Concubine Ning's residence, Menghuang Pavilion is brightly lit at the moment, countless lanterns are lit in the courtyard, it is as bright as day.

As soon as Qingchen stepped into the palace gate, she smelled the smell of blood all over the courtyard. Her heart sank suddenly, and then she ran forward like crazy. Sure enough, she saw Jinyun laying on the spring bench dying from being beaten. , the lower body was already stained with blood, and the person was still holding a breath, but he was already unconscious.

"Jin Yun..."

Qingchen yelled, rushed over to hug her tightly, and held her in his arms, "Jin Yun, Jin Yun, wake up, it's all my fault, I shouldn't leave at this time, let You have suffered for me..."

She hugged Jin Yun and wept uncontrollably. Seeing that Jin Yun was beaten so miserably, Jin Xin also knelt by the side and wept.

"Jin Yun, Jin Yun, wake up..."

Holding her face, Qingchen saw that her lips had been bitten to pieces, her chin was covered with blood, probably because she had fainted and was splashed with water, and a few strands of hair were sticking wetly to her forehead, she was almost out of breath Now, the hair gradually froze, sticking there stiffly.

Jin Yun slowly opened his eyes, saw Qingchen kneeling in front of her, and smiled slightly: "Your lord... Slave, I didn't confess... Even if I die... I won't admit it, we didn't do it..."

"I know, I know everything, Jin Yun, hold on, I'll go and beg the emperor to find you a doctor..."

As soon as Qing Chen got up, Jin Yun grabbed his sleeve with the last bit of strength, "My lord, this servant can no longer...serve you anymore, you have to take care..."

Qingchen hurriedly held her cold hands, and said with tears in his eyes, "No, you will be fine, your embroidery is the best, and I want you to embroider my pillowcase, you wait for me to ask the emperor , I must ask the emperor to save you."

At this time, a eunuch at the gate of Menghuangxuan shouted in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty Wan, the emperor asked you to come in and talk."

The sky began to snow, and cool snowflakes fell on Qingchen's face, which turned into water droplets in an instant.

Qingchen entrusted Jinyun to Jinxin's care, and ran into Menghuangxuan in a desperate manner. Now she didn't care about etiquette. When she entered the door and saw the emperor sitting there, she rushed over and knelt at the emperor's feet pleaded:

"Your majesty, my concubine is begging you, please let the imperial doctor save Jinyun first...she, she is innocent...my concubine begs the emperor to show mercy..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed his head.

The emperor's face was cold and gloomy, he couldn't see the slightest bit of happiness or anger, he just stretched out his hand to hold her and asked, "Did you do it?"

Qingchen shook his head with tears in his eyes, "It wasn't concubine who did it. Concubine has always been indifferent to others, how could she do such harmful things? Your Majesty, I beg you, save Jinyun first, and don't let her be wronged." If you die, your life is at stake, you have to save people first..."

"Human life is at stake, it sounds nice."

Concubine Shu was sitting on the chair below, she was still unkempt at the moment, her body was covered in soot, her clothes had burnt marks, coupled with her horrific face, she looked even more miserable.

She deliberately wanted the emperor to see her like this, so that she would believe that someone really wanted to take her life.

"Your Majesty Wan only cares about the lives of her servants. Should I and the people around me be burned alive? How dare you ask the emperor to save the life of that lowly servant girl? How dare you open your mouth and say such a shameless thing?" point!"

Qingchen turned his head and looked at Concubine Shu fiercely, finally couldn't bear it any longer, "Your Majesty made things difficult for me a few times, and my concubine tolerated everything, I asked myself that I had never done anything wrong to my Majesty, why did I have to force him so hard? "

Concubine Shu was furious at once, she stood up suddenly, pointed at her and asked sharply, "Who is forcing whom? You ordered your maid to set fire to me in the middle of the night, yet you still have the face to accuse me of embarrassing you. Is it really embarrassing?"

Qingchen knelt on the ground, not wanting to quarrel with her for the time being, but only caring about Jin Yun, thinking that Jin Yun might not be able to hold on any longer, so she looked at the emperor again and begged in tears:
"Who is right and who is wrong, now I can't tell for a while. I just ask the emperor to let the imperial doctor rescue Jinyun first, so that people can find out about life, right? Otherwise, there will be no proof, and the truth will never be found out. My concubine begged the emperor It's..."

"Your majesty, don't be fooled by her rhetoric. Their masters and servants set fire to burn their concubines to death. Their intentions are vicious, and now they are pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic. The concubines beg the emperor to be the masters of the concubines," Concubine Shu said. , also knelt down.

Qing Chen gritted his teeth and looked at Concubine Shu and asked, "Your Majesty said that our master and servant set fire to you, do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence!"

Concubine Shu looked at her forcefully, and said coldly: "After you left Lianxintang during the day, your little girl came back after a while and wandered around the door furtively for a long time. What the hell are you doing.

As a result, the Buddhist hall caught fire in the middle of the night, and someone picked up a hairpin at the place where the fire broke out, and it happened to be the one you were wearing today, Mr. Wan. Don't tell me that this is a coincidence!

I just want to ask you, just now Concubine Ning sent someone to bring someone to your palace, where did you and your personal maid go?It's not real! "

Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that it was hard to explain the matter. Running away without permission was a capital crime, not only her, but also Jin Xin and Jin Xiu would die together with her, she couldn't say anything about it.

She opened her mouth, her lips trembled a few times, she looked at the emperor in despair, shed tears silently, and gradually sat down, no matter what she was going to die tonight.How can people believe that she is innocent when she can't tell her whereabouts?
Saying or not telling is the same result, instead of letting Jinxin and Jinxiu die with her, it is better for her to admit it herself, bear all the charges, and maybe save the lives of the three of them.

She murmured: "Your Majesty, the concubine really did not set fire to harm the concubine Shu. The reason why Jin Yun went to the Buddhist hall was because the concubine's hairpin was accidentally lost. She just went back to look for it and did nothing wrong." Things to do.

As for why the concubine's hairpin was found in the place where the fire broke out, the concubine couldn't argue with it, and couldn't produce any evidence to prove her innocence. I just begged the emperor to spare Jin Yun, and let the concubine bear all the guilt. "
