The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 96

The emperor sat on the high seat with a livid face without saying a word, anyone could see that he was holding his breath.

The empress ordered Kang Fushou to find Shen Ye, and after a short while, he was pushed to the front of the hall by several guards, and Kang Fushou even held the 'gold-sprinkling magnolia paper' in his hand and presented it to the empress: "Return to the emperor, empress, this time The item was found from Shen Ye's body, and it was indeed worn next to the body, but I don't know if it is like the 'sprinkling gold magnolia paper' that the maidservant Yunshan said."

The emperor picked up the paper and looked at it for a long time, then threw it on the ground with a flick of his sleeve: "The tattoo on this is indeed magnolia flower!"

He looked towards Wanyu, pointed to the 'gold-sprinkling magnolia note' on the ground and asked, "Wan'er, did it come from you?"

Wan Lai knew in her heart that if the emperor asked this question, she must be suspicious of her again.

But this time, she didn't feel wronged like the first time she was wronged, it was just that the words came out of Yunshan's mouth, which made her feel extremely sad.

She tried her best to restrain her sorrowful emotions, and replied to the emperor lightly: "Your Majesty, this note is from the hands of my concubine, but there is no love between men and women in it. Moreover, this note was sewn by my concubine when she was young. The gift given to Shen Wei that day was just a playmate friendship, let me ask a child, what can he understand?"

As she spoke, she cast her eyes on Yunshan like a sharp sword, and said in a daze: "As for what Yunshan said, she saw the concubine and guard Shen at night, it is really nonsense!"

Yun Shan didn't expect Wan Lai to deny the matter, and suddenly said anxiously: "How can the young master lie in front of the emperor?"

Wannai held back her tears and smiled helplessly: "You said that I had a night party with Guard Shen, do you have evidence?"

Yunshan's face was pale, and she said slowly: "There is no evidence for this matter, but there are other things. Your Majesty, a few days ago, my servant personally delivered a letter to Shen Weiwei on behalf of the young master. Meet at the lakeside of Yuhu Lake! This matter was bumped into by the eunuch who was watching the night, and the young master argued that her Juanzi fell into the water and asked the guards to pick it up. But in the middle of the night, the two of them went to the edge of Yuhu Lake for what?"

Wan Yu couldn't bear the pain in her heart any longer, it was as if thousands of bees were pricking her heart with sharp needles, causing bursts of pain.

She got up from her desk, only to feel dizzy and almost fainted, but fortunately Yun Chan helped her, and Rong Yue stepped forward to help, so she managed to stand upright.

The dry breath in the autumn made her thirsty and tongue-tied, unable to argue with Yunshan anymore.

She drenched her clothes with cold sweat, and the tears hanging from her eyes could no longer be restrained, gushing out like dewdrops from broken threads.

How familiar is this person in front of her, and how can she believe that these absurd words will come from her mouth.

Later, Concubine Hui said leisurely: "Could it be that the concubine's nightmare, the day when I went to Chengqian Palace with the emperor, but the figure of nobleman Wan was not seen in the middle of the night?"

Yun Shan answered yes, and Wan Lai found out that the two of them had already colluded with each other and worked hand in hand.

Presumably, the handwriting on the note that resembles hers was forged by Yun Shan.

But what Wanyu can't figure out is why Yunshan framed herself in such a way?What benefit can she get from it?
She sneered, and with the support of Rong Yue and Yun Chan, she knelt down and faced the Empress, only hating herself for being incompetent, being framed up to this point again, but having no power to fight back.

Looking at the emperor's condensed expression and the sinister smile on the queen's lips, she slowly said: "Your Majesty, this concubine and guard Shen are acquaintances, but it's just a thing of the past when I was young. Since entering the palace, my concubine has been in good health both physically and mentally." On the emperor, I think the emperor is a man with flesh and blood, and he must be able to feel the sincerity of the courtiers and concubines."

"You are sincere, but who knows how many people you have shared your sincerity with?" The nobleman knelt down and bowed to the empress perseveringly, "Your majesty, empress empress, the cause and effect of this matter are now cleared away." It is already clear. Your Majesty Wan must have had an affair with this adulterer, otherwise, how can we explain all these scandals? The ministers and concubines are terrified, and I ask the empress to punish him severely, so as to rectify the palace!"

An Guiren heard the words and knelt down to agree: "The concubine seconded the proposal! Such a coquettish bastard cannot be kept!"

However, the concubines, who have always been on good terms with Wanyu, never believed in this matter. As Concubine Yi first knelt down to plead for mercy, Rong Yue, Dong Wenyin, and Nala also agreed.

The queen sat upright, and said in a solemn voice for a moment: "Everyone, get up, what does it look like kneeling here?" Then she turned her gaze to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at this."

The emperor looked at Wan'er, the condensed expression on his face gradually warmed up, and he said slowly to the queen: "I believe in Wan'er."

These short four characters are loud enough to comfort people's hearts.

Wan Yu couldn't restrain her emotions any longer, and cried out in grief.

Concubine Yi and Rong Yue held her in their arms to protect her, while Wan Yu stared at Yun Shan with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with hatred, as if they wanted to tear her apart.

Mr. Rong could not allow the emperor to forgive Wanyu so easily, so he twitched his lips and said: "The emperor is so partial, why does he want to keep this bitch regardless of his own reputation?"

The queen reprimanded Ronggui for his presumptuous words, and then moderately persuaded: "Your Majesty, although Ronggui's words are useless, there is some truth in it. Now Yunshan is proving it, and there is a 'sprinkling gold magnolia paper' as a supplementary evidence. If it is done hastily, it will hinder nobleman Yu Wan's innocence."

The emperor gave an impatient 'oh', and asked again: "Then according to the queen's intention, how should we deal with it?"

The queen thought about it for a moment, then pondered: "The concubine thinks that the guard must be attacked. His identity is suspicious and his origin is unknown, and he is inextricably linked with nobleman Wan. It is really necessary to investigate."

Shen Ye, who had never made a sound before, was not frightened when he heard this, but instead clasped his hands and replied: "My minister is willing to cooperate with the emperor in a thorough investigation, and to restore my innocence to Mrs. Wan!"

"Innocent?" Rong Gui sneered a few times, and spat: "Look at the way you protect her, if you say that you two have no adultery, who in the palace will believe it? If you are innocent, the dirty water of gossip Why don't you splash it on Concubine Yi? She has known you since childhood, and even entered the palace sooner. Why don't you splash it on Concubine Hui? You want to find nobleman Wan alone. It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with it. The reason."

The emperor's expression was a little troubled, not to mention the relationship between Wanyu and Shen Ye, but the queen said something very right.

If Shen Ye was a former member of Niu Hulu's mansion, how could he enter the palace as a bodyguard?Instead of serving as a eunuch in front of the imperial court?
If Ye Bilong intends to place him in front of the imperial court, what is his intention?
The emperor closed his eyes heavily, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Shen Ye: "Not to mention, let me ask you how you entered the palace from the Niuhulu mansion and became the imperial guard?"

Concubine Yi couldn't help tightening her hold on Wanyu's hand. The emperor's question was probably suspicious of Ama's intentions that day. Seeing that Shen Ye hesitated and couldn't answer, he secretly thought something was wrong.

Suddenly at this time, Liang Jiugong, who had been waiting outside the door, hurried in. He blessed everyone, and respectfully appealed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Aunt Su Ma is waiting outside, saying that she is the Empress Dowager." Hearing about today's events, there is a decree to pass on. Look at this"

The emperor was silent for a moment, then he waved his hand and said: "Please come in."
