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

Chapter 587 Bloody Trap (15)
Caihui, who was kneeling on the ground, froze and sat down on the ground.Not only Qian Gui didn't expect the emperor to make such a decision, but everyone present didn't expect the emperor to be so resolute to break up the matter.Qian Gui rolled his eyes and almost passed out. While being dragged outside, he struggled desperately, exhausting all his strength to beg for mercy in vain, "Your Majesty, the servant did not lie, Rong Zhaoyi really went Lingyin Pavilion..."

Qian Gui was sent down by the emperor, Feng Guiren was thrown into the cold palace, Concubine Li sat on the chair with a pale face and did not dare to say a word, her hands were covered in cold sweat, she unconsciously glanced at the emperor secretly, seeing Xiao Jun's gloomy eyes His eyes were fixed on her, his heart sank, and he lowered his head guiltily to avoid his gaze.

The queen was just about to get up to intercede, but saw the emperor walk away angrily with a sullen expression.

Qingchen got up, and didn't want to stay in this place of right and wrong, so he blessed Fushen and said: "Empress, my concubine will retire."

Since the matter has been like this, it is useless to keep her here, the queen can only nod her head and agree: "You go, I hope you have a clear conscience about this matter."

Qingchen said lightly: "The concubine has always had a clear conscience, and the concubine resigns."

Seeing that Qingchen had left, the queen also said angrily to Concubine Li who was sitting on the chair with an ugly face: "You should go back too. If the emperor is willing to see you recently, then you should think about how to appease the emperor's anger." .”

Concubine Li was very clear about the meaning of these words, even though she felt ashamed and angry at the moment, feeling as if cut by a knife, she still did not dare to disrespect the queen, she hurriedly stood up and said: "Yes, my concubine obeys."

After the queen left the Yichun Palace and sent the queen to the phoenix chariot to leave, Concubine Li held Yinxiang's hand vigorously and walked back weakly.She knew that the emperor must have doubted her, and the emperor must have believed that she gave money to those banknotes.

Xiao Jue followed her and sent her out for a while. Seeing that her complexion had improved, she said softly, "Wanyi, do you know why the emperor ordered Feng Guiren to die?"

Concubine Li stopped in her tracks, and roared angrily: "You are happy. Seeing the emperor protecting her like this, how does it feel in your heart? Is it joy or pain? Isn't the emperor's death of Feng Guiren just to protect her? You must Would you be happy if you cut my heart with a knife?"

Xiao Jue looked at her calmly, seeing the distorted face on her face, and felt even more uncomfortable. Even if he knew he was not as kind and gentle as she imagined, he would not be so cruel and terrible once he was exposed. terror.

"You only see that Rong Zhaoyi is free from blame, but you don't know that you escaped from death just now? If the emperor pursues it seriously, do you think Qiangui can withstand the heavy punishment from the Department of Punishment? Once he confesses, you Did you run away? Colluding with Feng Guiren, using the emperor's heir in her belly to harm others, she is bound to die, so you can get away with it? The reason why the emperor sent Feng Guiren, whether she is guilty or not, the emperor may not care so much at all, more The important thing is that he wants to seal Feng Guiren's mouth to protect you and Rong Zhaoyi. Only in this way can this matter be justified. If the emperor only wanted to protect Rong Zhaoyi, who would bear the crime of mutilating the emperor's heir? ? You? Can you bear it?"

Thinking of Xiao Jun's cold and deep gaze just now, Concubine Li couldn't help feeling cold, and suddenly got goosebumps all over her body. No matter how gentle the emperor is to her on weekdays, even if he smiled, his eyes were still cold.The queen told her that the emperor regarded the former Xie Wanyi as a treasure, and wished to cherish his own life, but she felt his favor, but she always felt that she could not touch his heart.She still can't figure out the emperor's thoughts, and she tried to comfort herself, if he treats her like this, then he will be even more indifferent to others, but whether the same is true to Rong Zhaoyi, she never Dare to ask for proof.

Just now, she was really terrified to the extreme, those eyes almost froze her there, and she even felt that the next moment he might mercilessly kill her.Therefore, she only saw that the emperor was protecting Rong Zhaoyi, but she didn't think about what happened to herself at all.

Xiao Jue's words awakened Concubine Li, and suddenly made her break out in a cold sweat. Your Majesty, he is so affectionate and so ruthless. If the person he wants to protect today is her, it's okay. If he really wants to protect The person is Rong Zhaoyi, if she is forced into a desperate situation and unable to fight back, will the emperor treat her like Feng Guiren?

Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt dark in front of her eyes and almost fainted. She held Yinxiang's hand and said weakly: "Your Highness, I understand. Thank you for your kindness. I'm going back. Your Highness, please go back." Bar."

Xiao Jue stretched out her hand to support her, and said softly: "Wanyi, the emperor treats you well, you have to be content, there is no other way for you to go except relying on the emperor."

Concubine Li looked haggard, and pushed him away with tears in her eyes, "I see, thank you for your kind reminder, Your Highness, please go back."

Seeing her leaving in such a depressed mood, Xiao Jue felt no better than her. In the dark night, the night wind lifted his black hair and entangled each other, just like his complicated and unclear emotions at the moment. Same.Even though she doesn't love her anymore, she still remembers her cute appearance when she was a child. Besides, besides him and the emperor, who else can she trust and rely on?If possible, he is willing to take care of her like an elder brother. He only hopes that the resentment in her heart will be less, and that if she lets others go, she will also let herself go.

In the middle of the night, a person came to the emperor's imperial study. Xiao Jun was sitting on the red sandalwood Kowloon couch before taking a rest, and asked the person kneeling on the ground, "Has Rong Zhaoyi ever been out of Duanyang Palace?"

The man replied: "Your Majesty, the empress did go out, but the matter was not what Concubine Li and the others said. In the evening, someone deliberately let her know bad news at the back door of Duanyang Palace. The empress heard that He Shuyi I had a private meeting with someone in Lingyin Pavilion, and the empress went to pick him up. The empress didn't believe that He Shuyi would be so confused. She was afraid that she would confuse her and ruin her reputation, so she went to remind her, but who would have thought that she would be so confused? Lingyin Pavilion met Feng Guiren. It is true that Feng Guiren's tire slippage was not caused by the mother. As for who hurt her, the mother did not know. When she said she was going there, she fell to the ground and bled profusely. How did she die, Yun Lan asked, but the empress never mentioned it, so only she herself knows who helped her in a crisis."

Xiao Jun was silent for a long time before she nodded and said: "In other words, the dress that Jin Xin burned must be the one she wore when she went out?"

The man kneeling on the ground replied: "Yes, when Niang Niang came back, she said that someone pushed her from behind, and she fell to the ground with blood on her body, so Jin Xin immediately burned the blood-stained clothes."
