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

Chapter 50
Although there were witnesses and the person involved confessed, Ye Jieyu did not believe this statement anyway, "Your Majesty, empress, concubines absolutely do not believe that Lin Wanyi will harm concubines. I have met Lin Wanyi three times in total. She didn't say a few words, let alone had any quarrels, she has no reason to harm concubines like this, and she begged the emperor not to wrong a good man."

Xiao Jun frowned, his eyes became more and more complicated and unpredictable, and said lightly: "The witnesses are all there, and Xiao Lunzi himself has admitted it, how can he be discerning?"

Qingchen knew that Xiao Jun didn't like members of the Lin family, but he was convicted so hastily, but he still felt a little chilled, and hurriedly said: "The emperor remembers the little eunuch who was killed in the Queen's Palace before, when he framed Concubine Shu Concubine Ning and Empress Ning never changed their words until their death, if the two empresses hadn't proved their innocence, they would have been wronged by that servant and charged with murdering concubines."

Before Qingchen finished speaking, he heard an urgent voice from outside the hall, "Your Majesty Wan is right, please think twice, Your Majesty."

The queen walked in hurriedly holding Caiyi's hand, followed by Concubine Shu who also came in a hurry. After the two saluted the emperor, everyone saluted the queen again, and Concubine Ning hurriedly gave up her seat.

The queen did not sit down for the time being, but pleaded with the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lin Wanyi must have been wronged. She never went out that day of the palace banquet, so how could she instruct someone to frame Ye Jieyu?"

Concubine Shu sneered, and preemptively said with a haughty expression: "The queen's words are wrong, and Lin Wanyi pushed the rock down by herself. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come out. I'm afraid not going out is to avoid suspicion, right? Even if the queen is protecting Lin Wanyi, I can't find such an unconvincing reason. The queen is the master of the middle palace, and she should treat her concubines equally. How can something happen and blindly protect people from her own family? Sister Ye will be wronged to death."

As he spoke, he purposely looked at Ye Jieyu with a sympathetic look, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you can't treat Ye Jieyu badly just because Lin Wanyi is behind the queen, and that concubine will feel sorry for Ye Jieyu." gone."

The thief shouted "Catch the thief" and deliberately pretended to be merciful to seek justice for herself. Ye Hanyu's face was already flushed with anger, and she tried her best to control her emotions so as not to lose her dignity. The concubine is injustice, who hurt me, the concubine and the concubine know it well, but they must never wrong a good person, others may believe it, but the concubine knows that the person who harmed me is definitely not Lin Wanyi."

Lin Wanyi, who was kneeling on the ground, also crawled over and grabbed Xiao Jun's clothes at this time and begged: "Your Majesty, you heard that even Ye Jieyu herself said that she doesn't believe that concubines will harm her, no matter how confused concubine is, she will not instruct her A person who acted so unreliably wanted to harm Ye Jieyu, and asked the emperor to see clearly."

Xiao Jun brushed Lin Wanyi's hand away, and said in a deep voice, "I only believe in evidence, if you didn't do this, you have to prove your innocence."

A trace of panic and desperation flashed in Lin Wanyi's eyes. The moment her hand dropped, Qingchen felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured into Qingchen's heart. A bone-chilling coldness spread from his heart. He said He only believed in evidence, but many times even innocent people couldn't produce evidence to prove their innocence, let alone being deliberately framed.

Sure enough, the emperor was cool, she wrung the silk handkerchief in her hand a little angrily, her fingernails cut a silk thread on the embroidery of the pink petals, and pulled out a long and thin silk thread, she swore in her heart that no matter what the emperor thought, Thinking, she would never let Concubine Shu succeed.

Just thinking about how to help Lin Wanyi pass this level first, the queen said anxiously: "Your majesty, just now the concubine heard Ye Jieyu seem to have something in her words, please tell Ye Jieyu clearly, what do you mean by who harmed you? Does the concubine know it well?"

Ye Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and said with fluctuating breath: "What I mean by this concubine is that even if my concubine believes that it was Concubine Shu who harmed me, she will never believe that it was Lin Wanyi who harmed me."

Concubine Shu suddenly laughed out loud, as if she thought it was very funny, "I really don't understand why Ye Jieyu would say such a thing. I have never had an affair with Ye Jieyu, so I suddenly said something like this, It's really puzzling."

Seeing Ye Jieyu turn her face away and keep silent, Qingchen knew that Ye Hanyu had no evidence to correct Concubine Shu, so she could only endure the grievances, so she softly defended her: "Sister Ye is just a metaphor, please ask Don't worry about your empress. From Sister Ye's point of view, if your empress is innocent, then Lin Wanyi will not harm others. After all, Ye Jieyu has met with your empress more often. People who have nothing to do with themselves."

"As the emperor's concubine, why are they irrelevant?" Concubine Shu said sadly: "There was such a precedent among the concubines of the previous dynasty, because they were jealous of others being favored, and even framed their good sisters, then Isn’t there still one locked in the cold palace?”

When Concubine Shu was speaking, the veil on her face was blown up and down, Qingchen felt a moment of joy in her heart, and said softly, "Your Majesty said that only those who are upset after falling out of favor will To do such a thing, but since Lin Wanyi entered the palace, the emperor has favored her a lot, so she doesn't need to be jealous of others. The concubine has no friendship with Lin Wanyi, and I don't know what she is, but the emperor must know. Do you think Lin Wanyi is the kind of vicious person who wants to take someone's life because of jealousy?"

Lin Wanyi raised her head and looked up at the emperor, her eyes full of anticipation, even the empress couldn't help looking at the emperor with earnest eyes.

Xiao Jun was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Qing Chen with unclear meaning, Qing Chen hurriedly avoided his gaze and bowed her head respectfully.It's not so fun to join the emperor's army, she still felt a little uneasy, if Xiao Jun really wanted to add insult to injury, wouldn't she be violating the holy will and provoking his displeasure for nothing?
"I, I also thought that Lin Wanyi was not that kind of person." Xiao Jun raised her eyebrows lightly, and could only follow Qingchen's words. If he admits that Lin Wanyi is such an unbearable woman, then he has misunderstood and spoiled someone, isn't it? Disgraceful to the Holy Spirit?No matter how true or false this favor is, in the eyes of others, it is just the emperor's favor.

Lin Wanyi said with tears: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being willing to trust my concubine. My concubine has been wronged. I beg your majesty to see clearly and make decisions for my concubine."

Xiao Jun stared at Qingchen with a cold face, and did not make a sound.

The queen said comfortingly: "Since the emperor believes in Lin Wanyi, then don't listen to the framing words of those villains, and ask the emperor to return Lin Wanyi's innocence."

Xiao Jun frowned and looked at the Queen, and said in a cold voice: "Concubine Shu is right. As the master of the harem, the Queen should treat everyone equally. There are all witnesses. If I insist on not punishing Lin Wanyi, what will happen to the harem?" Governance? The queen has lost her sense."

The queen's body trembled and her face changed suddenly, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "The concubine didn't deliberately protect Lin Wanyi, but because she knew Lin Wanyi's character well, she couldn't bear to let her be wronged. If there is anything wrong, I ask the emperor to forgive me."
