Resourceful beauty

Chapter 365
"Your Majesty, my concubines have accompanied me for more than [-] years, and I asked myself to be cautious. The fourth prince died early. No one can understand the pain in my concubines' hearts. Fortunately, my majesty took pity on me. Only then did my concubines have the nine princesses and today's Your Majesty, don’t you know the character of the concubine? Now, the prince and concubine are allowed to speculate like this, and the concubine has been charged with so many unnecessary crimes. The concubine can’t bear such insults, and would rather die to die Clear."

The delicate makeup was washed away by tears, Lu Rufei knelt down on the ground, speaking sadly.

King Yao waved his hand impatiently, "There are all the witnesses and evidence, how do you want me to trust you? After the princess finishes speaking, if you still have doubts, you can refute them. I won't be that person who doesn't know right from wrong .”

When King Yao spoke, Concubine Lu Rufei's expression eased, and then she froze instantly when she heard that there were witnesses.

On the side, Fang Ruxuan seized the opportunity and said, "Mrs. Rufei, don't be in a hurry to argue. After I finish speaking, if there is something wrong, you can tell it. I am a junior, so I would never dare to speak out on such a matter. The one who poured sewage on you."

After all, seeing Chu Yuan nodded, Fang Ruxuan turned to look at Queen Zhou, and said slowly, "Concubine Ning has been honored and favored continuously since she entered the palace, and the Queen has hated her for a long time, so after knowing about Concubine Lu Rufei and the Marquis of Chang'an After finding out the connection between the Marquis of Chang'an and Concubine Ning, I was moved."

Ever since Concubine Lu Ru entered Qian'an Hall, Queen Zhou has been silent. At this moment, it is still the same. I don't know if it is acquiescence or disdain to speak.

"The letters between Concubine Ning and the Marquis of Chang'an are inconsistent after all. After all, men and women are different, and they are separated by the gate of the palace. Therefore, when sending letters, they use the private route in the palace. In fact, this is not a big deal in the palace. As long as it is a secret, it is fine as long as it is kept secret. What's more, Concubine Ning is open-minded, so she never took the seriousness of this matter to heart. It is also because of this that the queen and concubine Ru can take advantage of it. machine."

"The last time Concubine Ning sent a letter out of the palace to the Marquis of Chang'an, she was intercepted by the queen's people. However, there was no such thing as an affair in the letter. Even if there was a trouble, it can only be said that Concubine Ning did not abide by the palace rules. , with my father's love for Concubine Ning, I'm afraid that this incident will be over with a blind eye, and it will hurt Concubine Ning's muscles and bones at all."

"So, you all thought of planting a frame for blame."

As she spoke with a final word, just as Lu Rufei read the last page, she saw her body sway slightly, her face ashen, Fang Ruxuan turned back to look at Chu Yuan, and saw that thick haze had accumulated in Chu Yuan's eyes.

Speaking of this, and with the written statements collected by Fang Ruxuan, the facts were already largely clear, so Fang Ruxuan didn't say any more, walked up to Chu Yuan and sat down.

There was dead silence in the inner hall, except Concubine Han Guifei and Fang Ruxuan who looked normal, the other four people, King Yao and Chu Yuan all looked angry, while Queen Zhou and Concubine Lu Rufei looked pale and weak, as if they had aged a bit instantly.

"It's all my fault, my fault..."

As he murmured, King Yao's cloudy eyes were full of guilt and self-blame, "I didn't believe it when it happened, but I had no choice but to believe it when the witnesses and physical evidence were in front of me. When she left the blood book and threw it away The child who was born prematurely refused to leave, and I realized how wrong I was."

Recalling what happened back then, King Yao's words were full of pain, but he seemed to be afraid to face Chu Yuan, he just looked at the bright yellow brocade quilt covering his body indifferently.

Concubine Ning, as her name suggests, has a weak and quiet personality, neither fighting nor grabbing, like a water lily quietly blooming in a flowerpot on the table, and because of this, King Yao loves her more than others.

However, at the end, that weak Concubine Ning used such a decisive method to prove her innocence. No one would be able to bear such a shock.

"You guys, what else do you want to say?"

Raising his eyes to glance at Queen Zhou and Concubine Lu Ru, Yao Wang asked in a deep voice.

Queen Zhou didn't answer, as if she had acquiesced in her crimes, but Concubine Lu Ru, who crawled forward a few steps, argued with displeasure on her face: "Your Majesty, this concubine has no choice but to do so. However, this concubine has never done anything to apologize to Ning Otherwise, before she left, how could she entrust the infant prince to the concubine? Wang Shangming..."

After Lu Rufei finished speaking, a disdainful smile floated on Queen Zhou's lips.

"What does Rufei mean, what happened back then, was this palace forcing you to do that?"

Lu Rufei said "I have no choice but to", which aroused Queen Zhou's dissatisfaction.

With shrunken eyes and lowered her head, Lu Rufei said in a low voice: "It was the empress who told the concubine that she must never let Concubine Ning become a noble concubine, and it was the empress who arranged everything later. thing."

"Haha, Rufei, people are doing what the sky is watching, how do you know that Concubine Ning is not watching you from behind you at this moment?"

It seemed that the pot had been broken, Queen Zhou didn't have the slightest excuse for what she had done, but she was also determined to get someone to back her up before she got in trouble.

Looking back with some fear, Concubine Lu Ru looked up at Queen Zhou and said, "The guard who framed Concubine Ning for adultery was chosen by the Empress from among the dead in the Marquis of Zhongshan. The two midwifes in Wanfu Palace , It was also prepared by the Empress who arranged the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the concubine is guilty, but he just didn't report it when he knew about it, and the guilt is not as good as the Empress in case."

Queen Zhou remained silent, and only looked at Concubine Lu Rufei coldly, with a sarcastic expression on her face.

On the side, Fang Ruxuan couldn't listen anymore, glanced at King Yao, turned her head and said softly: "It's true that the two midwives were arranged by the queen, but the person who let them put a lot of red flowers in the birthing soup is It's you, Rufei, do you think that no one will know if someone chased and killed those two midwifes?"

Looking back at Fang Ruxuan in disbelief, Lu Rufei even forgot to argue, but it was this hesitation that exposed her crimes back then inextricably.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

Muttering, Lu Rufei didn't believe that Fang Ruxuan could find any specific witnesses for the past 20 years ago, and the so-called written statements in her hand must have been guessed by her, so she wrote them to confuse people.

"The dead man who was framed for adultery with Concubine Ning was chased and killed by people arranged by the Zhongshan Hou Mansion after he escaped from Shangyang City. For so many years, he kept his name incognito and lived a very hard life. But fortunately, he was still alive. Back then What happened to him caused him to be displaced for more than 20 years, do you think he will forget?"

"The two nanny who delivered the baby to Concubine Ning are indeed dead, but the maid who made the birth soup back then is still in the palace. How did you coerce and lure the two nanny to deliver the baby? Yes, she heard it clearly, so if Concubine Ru doesn't believe it, she can ask her to confront her."

"Also, Chun Nier, she is your concubine, empress, you won't deny it, right? In this world, as long as there is the truth, there is absolutely no mouth that cannot be pried open. Empress thinks that with your things that buy people's hearts, Will Chunnier be so determined to do things for you that you won't betray her?"

Putting witnesses one by one in front of her, seeing Lu Rufei collapsed on the ground, Fang Ruxuan stopped talking.

Chu Yuan had already heard Fang Ruxuan briefly talk about these things, but the anger at that time was far from what it is now.

Queen Zhou's speechless silence and Concubine Lu Ru's pale rebuttal seemed to reenact the events of that year, presenting them in front of everyone, and thinking of how her biological mother suffered so much back then, and finally ended up in that way Chu Yuan felt that his heart seemed to be held in his hand and squeezed fiercely, and the pain was unbearable like heart-piercing.

With a light arm, Chu Yuan turned his head, facing Ruxuan's concerned eyes and stiff body above him, and then he relaxed a little bit, Chu Yuan slowly shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

It was silent for a long time, and no one spoke again. King Yao said in a deep voice, "Go back each of you. I have my own judgment on this matter. As for Concubine Ning..."

Frowning to hold back his grief, King Yao turned his head to look at Chu Yuan and said, "She is your biological mother, and now you are the crown prince, so you can decide everything about the title. I have no face for her, so I have to wait until I see her." On her day, I will ask her to forgive me for my mistakes."

After finishing speaking, King Yao waved his hand, "Let's all go down."

Clenching his fists tightly, he stood up stiffly, Chu Yuan took Fang Ruxuan's hand, and the two left Qian'an Hall without looking back.

The sun shone on their bodies, exuding a tinge of warmth, holding hands and walking slowly on the palace road, Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan's cold hearts only gradually warmed up.

In the inner hall of Qian'an Hall, Concubine Lu Ru rushed forward, grabbed King Yao's arm, and begged, "My concubine apologizes for dying, and I only ask the king for mercy. Don't implicate Lin'er, my lord, my concubine begs you. My concubine begs you..."

As she spoke, Lu Rufei repeatedly kowtowed, and after a while, a bruise appeared on her forehead.

"Lin'er is also my daughter, not to mention, she is innocent, and I will not implicate her."

King Yao's words gave Lu Rufei a reassurance. She turned her head and glared at Queen Zhou angrily. Lu Rufei said in a deep voice, "There are so many children who died early in the palace. May I ask, which one is missing the queen's handwriting? These Years ago, in the queen's dream, I don't know if there are those children's mournful cries and wronged eyes."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Concubine Han Gui who had never spoken a word, and Concubine Lu Rufei got up and went out straight.

Early the next morning, the death knell in the palace rang and Concubine Lu Ru died.

Before everyone came back to their senses, a decree was issued from Qian'an Hall, which caused an uproar in Liugong.

"Queen Zhou's destiny is not blessed, she is flashy and unreal, and she is not suitable for the mother to honor the world. She has served her for a long time, and she especially remembers her old kindness, so that she will not die. She will be placed in the Qiuhua Palace. She must die. The matter of the noble concubine taking pictures of the six palaces, I admire this." .”
