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

Chapter 886
As soon as Fuquan entered the imperial study room, he saw Concubine Li kneeling on the ground with tears on her face, and seeing her come in, she looked as if she wanted to swallow her alive.

Qingchen ignored her, just knelt down with a calm expression, performed a grand ceremony, and said solemnly and coldly: "The concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."

Xiao Jun didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, his eyes were deep and indifferent, unable to distinguish emotions, he didn't open his mouth, Qing Chen just knelt on the ground quietly, staring down at the sachet embroidered with broken branches and crabapple on her body, Waiting silently, it seems that she has no intention of raising her eyes to look at him.

Concubine Li curled her lips coldly at the side, the emperor's attitude is enough to explain the current situation of Concubine Chen, Yinyu's death, even if there is no evidence against her, it is enough for Xiao Jun to see how vicious Concubine Chen is. .

What Xiao Jun couldn't tolerate the most was her indifference, which was so rational that it was almost ruthless. No one could find any faults, but it made him feel furious.

Knowing that she would not have done the thing, but was enraged by her attitude, the emperor grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it on the ground, the broken pieces of blue and white porcelain splashed everywhere, and the still warm tea splashed all over her body. The sudden anger shocked the servants in the imperial study, but Qingchen knelt there motionless, not even shaking his eyelashes.

The emperor asked angrily, "Did you kill Yinyu?"

Qingchen still didn't raise his eyes, but with a little more sentimental emotion on his face, he asked softly: "Does the emperor think that the concubine did it?"

The emperor's expression froze slightly, as if a piece of dry and hard pastry had been stuffed into his throat suddenly, and he was speechless as if he was choked.

Xiao Jun didn't answer her directly, but said coldly: "Concubine Li said that you didn't want Jin Xin and Yin Yu to serve together, so you tampered with Yin Yu's sedan chair, and the fuse of the gunpowder was ignited by firecrackers, causing Yin Yu was blown to death outside the gate of the Su Mansion, I am really a little shocked, the person who did such a thing is really too vicious."

Qingchen didn't seem to hear what he said, and asked stubbornly: "Does the emperor believe that the concubine did it?"

Xiao Jun remained speechless, and Qingchen didn't dare to raise her eyes to look into his eyes. At this time, his indifference and questioning, even a slight look in his eyes, would cause great harm to herself. The purpose of her visit today is to To bring down Concubine Li, I don't want to mess up my mind before that.

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Concubine Li was afraid that the emperor would be affected by Concubine Chen's emotions, so she hurried aside and said viciously: "Concubine Chen, you didn't approve of Yinyu's and Su Yue's marriage before, and always felt that Yinyu seduced Su Yue and destroyed the marriage. He and Jin Xin's happiness was ruined, so taking advantage of their marriage, people tampered with Yin Yu's sedan chair, and now that Yin Yu died tragically, you should be satisfied, right?"

There were a few bitter smiles on the corner of Qingchen's mouth, and there was deep loss and pain in his voice, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, this concubine did not approve of Yinyu's marriage to Su Yue before, because this concubine always felt that husband and wife should be married to each other. Open your heart, two people live a caring life, support and consider each other for the rest of your life, it is enough to have each other. In the world of feelings, one more person will completely change the appearance. If the concubine fails to do it, then I hope that the people around me can have their own happiness, but God's will tricks people. Since the emperor personally bestowed the marriage on Yinyu, the courtiers and concubines dare not resist the order, let alone Jinxin. As for why Yinyu is in Sufu Died outside the door, the ministers and concubines really don't know, please ask the emperor to look into it."

She said that Xiao Jun's eyes gradually showed a look of pain, and the hand clasped on the edge of the small nanmu table, the knuckles were faintly white, but the emperor still said in a cold voice: "Since you entered the palace , you should understand that I am the emperor, not your husband alone."

Qingchen didn't refute, but said respectfully: "Yes, I understand, so I never expect the emperor to treat me differently, no matter what decision the emperor makes, I never dare to disobey."

Xiao Jun frowned lightly and remained silent. Concubine Li was the one who knew how to read words and expressions best. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be moved with compassion, she said resolutely: "Yinyu is just a girl by my side. How can she have any deep hatred for others?" Why would people not hesitate to do harm like this on the wedding day? Besides you, who else knows which sedan chair is for Yin Yu and which sedan chair is for Jin Xin? Isn't this enough to explain the truth?"

Qingchen turned to look at Concubine Li innocently, and was even somewhat surprised, "The sedan chairs prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are exactly the same, and when two people got on the sedan chairs, they didn't specify who should sit in which sedan chair. How does this palace make people cheat to harm Yinyu? If they accidentally mix it up, wouldn't Jin Xin be killed?"

Concubine Li was waiting for her words. Seeing that she finally said it by herself, she hurriedly walked a few steps to the emperor and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of my concubine. What Concubine Chen said just now is a lie. The concubine heard that Concubine Chen personally made a wishful knot and tied it on Jinxin's sedan chair, so the House of Internal Affairs would naturally remember this, so which sedan chair the two of them got on was simply arranged by Concubine Chen. Yu was plotted against. Concubine Chen actually planned all this, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can summon someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to interrogate him."

Xiao Jun asked coldly: "Is what Concubine Li said true?"

Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "It's true, but it's just a little wish of my concubine, just wanting to win her a favor."

Hearing what she said, the emperor's breath seemed to be much heavier than before, and he asked sharply: "So, how do you explain such a coincidence to me?"

"It turns out that the emperor really doesn't believe the concubine. The concubine has already explained it just now. She just wants to win the prize for Jin Xin. If the emperor doesn't believe it, what kind of explanation do you want the concubine to give?"

This time Qingchen finally raised his head to meet him, his eyes were like a wounded little animal, innocent and disappointed.Xiao Jun immediately turned his face away, he couldn't bear her gaze, even though she was sad, why didn't he feel sad right now?
He didn't know what was wrong with him, reason and emotion seemed to be in a tug-of-war, which made him feel like he was about to be torn apart.

The moment the emperor turned his head, Xiao Wuzi's puzzled expression fell into his eyes, hesitant to speak, Xiao Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

The little fifth son was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Please forgive me for being stupid. The more you listen to the words of the two empresses, the slave becomes more and more confused. According to Empress Li, Miss Jinxin should get on the sedan chair with the sympathetic knot on it." , so that she can be safe and sound, but the strange thing is, I heard the people outside said that the one who had an accident today happened to be the sedan chair with the sympathetic knot, but what I can't figure out is why it was the girl Yinyu who had the accident If Concubine Chen really wanted to harm Miss Yinyu, why did she let people tamper with Miss Jinxin's sedan chair? Shouldn't those things be placed on Miss Yinyu's sedan chair?"
