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

Chapter 37
Concubine Shu sneered behind her, "Since it's a confession, let's be more straightforward. Even if you gain sympathy from others, you won't lose half of the criminal law."

But the emperor suddenly reached out to lift Qingchen's chin, looked at her fixedly, frowned slightly and asked coldly: "What's the matter with your face?"

Qingchen said in a low voice: "Today the concubine went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, and the concubine Shu said that she hated the concubine for testifying for Mr. Xiao, so someone slapped the concubine."

"Did you hit?"

The emperor's voice was not loud, but he was not angry and pretentious. The voice fell in Concubine Shu's ears, and she couldn't help but make her shiver, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is the nobleman Wan who speaks disrespectfully, insulting the concubine first, and the concubine is the one who makes people laugh." ...Let someone punish her a little..."

The emperor's expression was very indifferent, and his voice could not hear any emotion, "Your Majesty Wan has always been cautious, abided by his duty, and never had any grudges with others, why did he only speak rudely to you?"

Concubine Shu lowered her head, pouted her lips, and said coquettishly: "The emperor doesn't believe in my concubine?"

Xiao Jun said lightly: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I just think you're going too far."

Concubine Shu was obviously not convinced, but she didn't dare to refute the emperor, so she said in a low voice: "Yes, the concubine knew it was wrong, but at that time the concubine was furious and unbearable, which made someone slap nobleman Wan.

But you can't hold a grudge and want to burn your concubines to death just because of nobleman Wan, her heart is too vicious. "

Xiao Jun looked at Concubine Shu indifferently, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so it's better not to rush to conclusions."

"But she has admitted herself..."

"What did she admit?"

The emperor's tone was still very cold, "She just said that she couldn't produce evidence to prove her innocence, but she didn't admit that she was the one who set the fire.

Jin Yun did not leave Xihe Palace tonight, and the little eunuchs in Wanguiren Palace have already testified, how do you know that they were the ones who set the fire? "

Concubine Shu looked at the emperor in disbelief, with an angry and anxious look, "If they didn't do this, why can't they tell where they went? Isn't this trying to cover up?"

Concubine Ning was sitting next to the emperor, she hadn't spoken a word all this time, she was only paying attention to guessing the holy meaning, and at this moment she asked softly: "Your Majesty, my concubines also feel a little puzzled, since nobleman Wan is calling for injustice, why didn't you tell me before?" Where and what did you do?
As long as she speaks clearly, it will naturally prove her innocence.

As for the hairpin, although the concubine didn't figure out what was going on for a while, but judging by the usual behavior of nobleman Wan, she definitely couldn't do such a thing. "

The emperor nodded slightly, Concubine Shu saw that the emperor was wavering, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, she couldn't tell where she had gone, she made it clear that she was guilty, and the master and servant refused to admit it, so they thought they could escape the guilt!
The concubine begged the emperor to torture the little girl again, under severe punishment, she would not worry about her not confessing! "

The emperor was noncommittal, looking at Qingchen, Qingchen's heart sank, and desperately grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes and begged: "Your Majesty, don't...Jin Yun can't stand the punishment anymore, if you continue to beat her, she will die Now, I beg the emperor to be merciful, if you want to fight, you can beat the concubine, all the concubines deserve to die, the concubine is going to... run away tonight..."

With a "slap", Qing Chen had already received a slap on the face, Xiao Jun looked at her coldly, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Concubine Shu sneered, "Your Majesty Wan is not in her palace at night, but she refuses to tell her whereabouts. Isn't it because you have a ghost in your heart? Since you care so much about that maid, if you don't confess, then she will kill you." Beaten to death!"

"Your Majesty, no, I beg you not to torture Jin Yun again. She is just an innocent little maid, and she did not do this. Just punish my concubine."

Qingchen lay at the emperor's feet and begged bitterly, "Your majesty, you should kill the concubine. The concubine only begged the emperor to spare Jin Yun. The concubine really didn't want to harm Concubine Shu. The concubine just wanted to escape..."

Before she finished speaking, another slap was slapped on her face. Qingchen covered her face and looked at Xiao Jun because she didn't understand, but seeing the emperor's face showing anger, she shouted in a deep voice: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you." Let everyone in Yinfengxuan be buried with you!"

After Qingchen was drunk like this, her mind suddenly came to her senses. She sat on the ground in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Concubine Ning was even more puzzled by the emperor's attitude, her eyes kept wandering around the emperor and Qingchen, why did he keep stopping her from finishing her sentence?

Concubine Shu vaguely felt that the emperor seemed to be showing favoritism, so she knelt on the ground and wept: "Your Majesty, I beg the Emperor to make decisions for my concubines. Does it prove that she is the one who set the fire, otherwise why would she conceal her whereabouts?"

Qingchen felt that she had fallen into a dead end today, and could not defend herself no matter what.

She bit her lip, and finally made up her mind. It would be a death penalty for her to escape from Miyamoto without permission. Jin Yun was the one who accompanied her to the Buddhist temple, and she couldn't tell where she went. Naturally, she would be punished. No matter what, she couldn't let Jin Yun die with her.

With a sudden heart, he said, "Your Majesty, I'm a concubine..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan is with my concubine tonight."

Before the person came in, he heard a hasty and familiar voice, Qingchen turned his head in surprise, and saw Ye Ronghua hurried in, holding Zhihua's hand.

She greeted the emperor and Concubine Ning first, and then said: "Your Majesty, this concubine can testify that nobleman Wan has been in this concubine's palace tonight.

When the Buddhist hall was flooded, she was still eating supper with the concubine, how could she set fire to hurt people?Is there still a clone technique? "

Concubine Shu said viciously: "I have heard that Ye Ronghua and nobleman Wan are getting close, you should think twice, you will be severely punished for testifying indiscriminately."

Ye Ronghua gave a blessing and said: "My concubine Shu, I dare not talk nonsense, what my concubine says is the truth."

Concubine Ning showed a smile of unknown meaning, she seemed puzzled and asked: "Since it's with Ye Ronghua, it's not something disgraceful, why is nobleman Wan not talking about it?"

Ye Ronghua hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Jun with shame on his face, "Your Majesty, forgive me, actually tonight... this concubine did something, and this concubine begged Mr. Wan not to say anything. Mr. Wan is also afraid that the emperor will punish my concubine." , so I refused to say it."

Xiao Jun's cold eyes seemed to soften a little from the moment Ye Ronghua came in, but the tone of the question at this moment was still cold, "What did you do?"

Ye Ronghua said in a low voice: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, today is the memorial day for a concubine's sister when she was a child, and the concubine didn't remember it until evening, so she dragged nobleman Wan to burn some paper money in a secluded place in my palace to worship. The concubine knows that it is a big taboo to worship privately in the palace, so I beg nobleman Wan not to say anything about it."

Xiao Jun was dazed for a moment when she heard the words, and asked, "Is she the one you worshiped?"

Ye Ronghua didn't care whether she understood, just nodded and said: "Exactly."
