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

Chapter 582 Bloody Trap (10)
Jin Xin hurriedly went to the small kitchen to bring out a brazier, put it on the ground and replied: "Go back to the emperor, what your mother said, it was a worn-out piece of clothing that Xiao Xiangzi wore, and I asked my servants to help him throw it into the fire and burn it. Not being able to go out, the servant saw that it was in the way, so he took it out and burned it casually, this is not any evidence from the mouth of the concubine Li, and the empress is too suspicious."

Xiao Jun knew that Jin Xin was usually dissatisfied with Concubine Li, but now she was so disrespectful in front of everyone, so she blamed: "Presumptuous, is this the attitude you should have when talking to the master, clap your mouth!"

Jin Xin gave Qing Chen an aggrieved look, but Qing Chen didn't intercede. The more he protects her at this time, the more angry the Emperor will be, so it's better to let her learn to behave better.

Seeing that no one was protecting her, Jin Xin lowered the corners of her mouth even more aggrieved, as if she was about to cry, she raised her hand unwillingly and slapped herself twice, and listened to Concubine Li say to Xiao Jun coquettishly: "Your Majesty You see, these slaves don’t have concubines in their eyes at all, even a servant girl dares not to regard concubines in their eyes.”

Xiao Jun said lightly: "Isn't this punishing her? Even though there are some things that she shouldn't have said, but what she said is true, there is no proof, and what you said just now is indeed a little too much."

The burning is all gone, and there is no point in arguing any longer. Concubine Li hated the people in Duanyang Palace for being too cunning. When she was at her wit's end, she heard Su Yue come in and say, "Your Majesty, the Empress sent someone to say that Mrs. Feng Gui is here. Lingyin Pavilion has had a miscarriage, so someone has come to ask the emperor to come and have a look."

Xiao Jun's expression sank, she turned around and left, and then heard Su Yue say: "Your Majesty, the empress also said... Please ask Rong Zhaoyi to go over and ask questions."

Xiao Jun turned her head back, looked at Qing Chen with deep eyes, there was already a little suspicion in her eyes, and she asked Su Yue again: "Why did the queen ask Rong Zhaoyi for questioning?"

Su Yue replied: "The little father-in-law who came to pass the message didn't say anything, he was still waiting outside, should the emperor let him in for questioning?"

"No need." Xiao Jun ordered: "Then come together."

Yun Lan hurried into the house to get Qing Chen's cloak, Qing Chen didn't dare to delay, so she had to go to Yichun Palace with the emperor.On the way, Xiao Jue walked beside Concubine Li, and asked in a low voice, "What's the benefit of doing this?"

Concubine Li walked a little slower with a sullen expression, turned her head and glared at Xiao Jue with some annoyance, "What does this have to do with you? Why bother to take this muddy water?"

Xiao Jue looked at Concubine Li's eyes more and more coldly, even with some disappointment. He never thought that that innocent little girl has become distorted and unscrupulous now, and she is so vicious that she doesn't hesitate to use Feng Guiren For an unborn child to frame others, not to mention how cruel it is, let alone her intentions are contemptible.

Xiao Jue persuaded coldly: "You'd better stop when enough is enough, I won't let you succeed, now that you have become the harem's favorite, what else can't you get, why do you have to put others to death before you give up?"

Concubine Li ruthlessly tugged at the soft gold silk handkerchief in her hand, and said without turning her head: "If she dies or I die today, who will His Highness help? You said you would protect me, but you know she is my The biggest threat, but you still protect her. Have you considered me? The emperor just treats her differently because she looks a bit like me. Now that I have come back, what's the use of keeping her? She has the death-preserving jade pendant. His Highness can take her out of the palace secretly after she is deposed. Since you like her, then keep her in a dark place. Isn't this everyone's happy? I'm here Complete you."

Xiao Jue gritted her teeth angrily and asked, "Do you know what you're talking about? You have to know that Rong Zhaoyi is the one the Mu family wants to protect. How could the emperor convict Rong Zhaoyi without sufficient evidence at this time? You are not harming her, but against the emperor, no matter how subtle you set up this game, They are all doomed to lose."

Concubine Li didn't think so much at first, but now that Xiao Jue said this, her heart became colder and colder. What he said was not unreasonable. Mu Qingchen was no longer the nobleman who came from a lowly maidservant, she was Rong Zhao Yi, will soon become a high-ranking concubine Chen, with the most noble status, even on an equal footing with Concubine Ning, who knows whether the emperor named her a concubine simply because she saved Xin Chongrong's mother and son, or whether he had deliberately promoted Mu home, so she was sealed off with an excuse.

Not just hatred, Concubine Li is more jealous of Rong Zhaoyi at the moment, Xiao Jue is right, without sufficient evidence, the emperor will not easily convict her, otherwise the Mu family will not be able to explain .

Concubine Li sneered and said: "You can still see clearly. After all, I was too naive. She is now protected by her mother's family, and you are struggling to deal with her. How is it like me, fighting alone in this harem? The guilty minister deserves to live in the contempt and supercilious eyes of others. Even you, who don't care about your past friendship, prostrate yourself under her pomegranate skirt, do you think I really can't see your thoughts on her? In that case, How can you have the right to teach me?"

Xiao Jue said anxiously: "Wanyi, I'm not teaching you, I'm trying to persuade you. If someone harms you like this, I will also protect you. Let it go. It's still too late."

Concubine Li looked back, her eyes were full of resentment, "Let go? Do you think Rong Zhaoyi will let me go if I let go after what happened today? I won't like daydreaming like you! From the day I entered the palace, I knew that I could only survive in the struggle, and I had no other choice!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Jue's shocked expression, quickly caught up with Xiao Jun, and followed the emperor resolutely with her head raised.Qingchen who was at the side turned his head and looked at Xiao Jue sympathetically, and following along would only make him see a more miserable side of Concubine Li, so why did he bother?

Arriving at Feng Guiren's Yichun Palace, Qingchen saw that Li Fuze and Lou Jing were both there, and the Empress also had a gloomy face, and saw Xiao Jun rushing over to say hello, "The concubine will see the Emperor, the Emperor is auspicious."

No matter how Xiao Jun treats the concubines in the harem, he has no preference for the emperor's heir. Feng Guiren has a miscarriage. Obviously the emperor is in a bad mood, so his tone is a bit bad, "Queen, excuse me, I heard that Feng Guiren is The one who gave birth in Lingyin Pavilion, it's so late, and Lingyin Pavilion hasn't summoned the theater troupe to listen to the opera, what is she going there for?"

The queen glanced at Qingchen angrily, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Feng Guiren said that Rong Zhaoyi invited her to meet there, and that he had something important to tell her, but after she left, Rong Zhaoyi However, she pushed her into the corner of the table and caused a miscarriage. When the concubine heard the news and rushed over, Feng Guiren was lying alone in a pool of blood, and her close maid Caixuan was also killed downstairs. The concubine really Shocked, I had to summon Rong Zhaoyi to testify."
