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

Chapter 453 Bloody Birthday Feast (8)
The empress's jade hand, which was wearing a gold-shell gem armor, slapped hard on the armrest of the red sandalwood carved phoenix chair, which made everyone's heart skip a beat, "Aren't you still willing to tell the truth? How did you plan to kill Feng? Wanrong, if you tell me earlier, I can spare you the pain of flesh and blood, and reward you with a whole corpse."

When Qinxue heard it, her face turned pale from being bluffed, her voice trembled so uncomfortable, and she seemed to be choking with anxiety.

"Empress, this servant does not understand what you are talking about. These shoes were made by sister Yunxin from Xue Wanrong's palace. She brought flowers and silk two days ago and said she wanted to make a pair of dancing shoes for Xue Wanrong, but I have never been free, so I asked the servant girl. The servant girl thought that when she was in the handyman bureau, she had also received the favor of sister Yunxin, and she should make a pair of shoes for her, so she agreed without hesitation. When the shoes were handed over to sister Yunxin, the soles were not like this at all, so I asked the empress to learn. As for what the empress said about murdering Feng Wanrong, the slaves really didn't understand, how could the shoes made for Xue Wanrong harm Feng Wanrong? "

Before the queen could say anything, Xue Wanrong sneered and said, "Qinxue, you really know how to 'repay your kindness'. Seeing that the matter was exposed, you wanted to slander and accuse me. Who could have thought of this for you before?" Say something?"

Looking at Qing Chen with pointed eyes, a sneer crossed the corner of her mouth, Xue Wanrong snorted disdainfully, "Unfortunately, you miscalculated, everyone here knows that I have never been good at dancing, so what's the use of those dancing shoes? It's really hard for you to justify your lies."

Hearing what Xue Wanrong said, Qinxue became even more flustered, turned her head and looked at the queen timidly, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the servant did not lie, it was indeed sister Yunxin who asked the servant to do it, and said she didn't want others to know, Let the servants do it secretly, so that no one will find out."

Yunxin blushed, pointed at Qinxue and said angrily, "It's just a pair of shoes. If I ordered you to make them, why are you sneaking around? Why do you frame me like this?"

Qinxue's eyes were reddened, and she couldn't help sobbing softly, "It's my sister who said that Xue Wanrong wanted to make the emperor smile when she saw Feng Wanrong practicing dance hard, and she also wanted to dance for the emperor at today's banquet, but she didn't want others to know , I want to give everyone a surprise, so I have to hide it from everyone."

Yunxin raised her eyebrows, she was originally a temper that would not be tolerated, and now that it was a matter of life and death, she was even more aggressive, "Since you said that I asked you to do it, then let me ask you, what size shoes does my young master wear?"

Qinxue clearly stated a size, but Yunxin sneered and said, "I don't know whose shoe size you are talking about, but it is definitely not my mistress's. If my mistress really has the thoughts you said , how can you dance in a pair of inappropriate shoes? You can see that you are lying."

Seeing being cornered by others, Qinxue's tearful argument was indisputable. The two confronted each other, and it was obvious that Qinxue had already gained the upper hand.

Qingchen also knelt beside Qinxue at this time, and slowly said to Xiao Jun and the queen: "Your Majesty, this concubine has something to say. Qinxue is the maid next to this concubine, and this concubine walks around wearing shoes made by her. Once you compare the kung fu on these stitches, you can recognize that these shoes are from our Tonghua Palace. If something like this happened at the banquet today, if it was really done by the concubine, the concubine would at least avoid suspicion and change the shoes , how could it be so blatant and blatant to harm others? Doesn't that mean you're not calling yourself out?"

"It's true that Rong Concubine has been to the side hall, hasn't she? There are all witnesses, this is not wronged, right?" Caixuan stared at Qing Chen with her eyes burning like a rooster in a hurry. As if he wanted to come up and bite her.

"Bold!" Xiao Jun who was sitting on the seat said angrily: "With Zhen and the queen here, how can you allow a girl to interrupt the master's words casually? If it is not for your sake of protecting the master, I will definitely punish you severely!"

The queen also reprimanded: "I know you are anxious, no matter what, the emperor and I will make decisions for Feng Wanrong. You are a girl, no matter what time you are, you must not lose your sense of proportion in front of the master."

Only then did Caixuan lower her head to restrain her anger, and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant knows your mistake, it doesn't matter how the empress punishes your servant girl, as long as she can give justice to my little master, this servant girl is willing to be severely punished."

Qingchen still calmly said slowly: "Caixuan is right, the concubine passed by the side hall today, and indeed went in, but Caixuan, if the facts are as you think, do you really think that such a thing requires Did Bengong do it himself? Bengong changed Feng Wanrong's shoes, instead of leaving through the back door in time, he came out through the front door for everyone to bump into, and then openly waited for someone to testify against him?"

Caixuan opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak. Even if she got angry again, she knew what Concubine Rong said was right. If Concubine Rong was not wearing the shoes made by Qinxue today, even if she really did do the thing. Well, after the matter is done, as long as he slips through the back door, he doesn't have to focus all suspicious eyes on himself.Besides, although she hasn't been to bed recently, the emperor's thoughts on her have never diminished. With her favor, she doesn't need to risk herself to do such a stupid thing, unless she is a fool.

A girl can understand, and the empress will not fail to understand.

But there were still those who couldn't change their minds, and threw out a sentence in a lukewarm way, "In this way, Concubine Rong's doing so has cleared herself of the suspicion."

The emperor's eyes looked extremely impatient, and he said in a deep voice, "It's better not to get rid of the suspicion than to get rid of the suspicion. Who wants to blame themselves for right and wrong?"

So now the key to the matter lies with Yunxin and Qinxue. Since Qinxue has not been out of the Tonghua Palace today, she only made a pair of shoes in this matter. As for whether the shoes are real or not Handed it over to Yunxin, whether there are steel nails hidden in it, no one knows except the two of them.

Qinxue wept tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's not good to be a servant. If you trust others and make your Majesty tired, your servant deserves to die. When this matter is clarified, your servant is willing to accept any punishment from your Majesty."

Qingchen said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to apologize, I just ask you, you said that Yunxin asked you to make those dancing shoes, but do you have any other evidence?"

Qinxue thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid there will be none. This servant is not a greedy person. I returned the remaining cloth and gold thread to Sister Yunxin, so I don't even have a piece of cloth corner for making shoes in my hand. gone."

Qingchen believes in her discerning eyes. Although Qinxue came to serve her late, but this little girl is honest and honest. Conspiring with others to harm herself, she can say that she ordered her to make the shoes, and it happened that she had been to the side hall again, which was the best time to frame her, but Qinxue insisted that Yunxin asked her to do it Yes, Qingchen somewhat believes these words.
