Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 85

Du Yuncheng didn't notice the change in Queen Liu's expression, and of course he didn't know what she was thinking!In Du Yuncheng's heart, he is quite satisfied with this new wife. Although her family background is lacking, her own virtuousness still adds a lot of points to her.

"May Lin Meiren show the evidence now?" Du Yuncheng seemed to have seen Lin Yuchan's confidence, so his attitude changed a bit.At the same time, there was a trace of doubt in my heart about the truth of the matter!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuchan shook her head, as if she was not satisfied with Du Yuncheng's answer, and asked again, "May I ask the saint, what kind of punishment is it?"

Du Yuncheng frowned when he heard this, looking a little displeased.

Concubine Duan Xian immediately said, "Beauty Lin is so persistent, can't she be delaying time?"

Lin Yuchan replied with a smile, "The concubine Xian's words are wrong! The saint and the empress are both in charge here. Even if the concubine wants to delay, how long can the concubine delay? The concubine just wants to figure things out first, Concubine Xian Since the empress is so confident just now, she probably doesn't care about such a little time, right? Or—"

Lin Yuchan's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Is the concubine Xian guilty of something?"

Concubine Duan Xian unconsciously took a step back when Lin Yuchan looked at her like this. She only felt that Lin Yuchan's aura at the moment seemed to be more difficult to look at than the Empress Dowager Jiang.But when she stabilized her mind and looked over again, she found that Lin Yuchan was still smiling, as if the change just now was just her illusion.

Shaking her head lightly, Concubine Duan Xian felt a little dizzy!How can Lin Yuchan, a little girl, be compared with the Empress Dowager Jiang who has spent her whole life in the Taiji Palace? !

Actually, this is really not Concubine Duan Xian's illusion!Although Empress Dowager Jiang is also a queen mother, after all, she has only been in the position of queen mother for less than four years, and she has always been at odds with Du Yuncheng, so she naturally doesn't have much power in her hands.How can it be compared with Lin Yuchan, who has been the queen mother for decades and once overshadowed the sky in the harem?

In her previous life, it wasn't that Lin Yuchan was unwilling to delegate power, but her daughter-in-law, although she looked nice, but as long as she had her own son, Lin Yuchan couldn't be completely at ease.On this point, Lin Yuchan's emperor's son also agrees. The person who has been on the throne from the fighting of many brothers really does not believe that his queen will not reach out to those concubine princes!Instead of regretting after what happened, he would rather believe in Lin Yuchan as his mother.

But these are all later!Now Lin Yuchan still has to deal with the matter in front of her.

Concubine Duan Xian took a step back unconsciously before, although she soon regained her strength, but in the eyes of the people around her, it undoubtedly had other meanings.

Du Yuncheng took a deep look at Concubine Duan Xian, and most of the anger that had arisen at Lin Yuchan's aggressiveness was transferred to Concubine Duan Xian in an instant.He is not a fool, Concubine Duan Xian's guilty conscience is so obvious, why can't she see it? !Thinking that Concubine Duan Xian messed up her own Longevity Festival in order to frame other concubines, she couldn't help being even angrier than before.

"Okay!" Du Yuncheng closed his eyes, interrupted Concubine Duan Xian's and Lin Yuchan's verbal lawsuit, and continued, "Since Beauty Lin asked, it's okay to clarify in advance! If Beauty Lin really did it at this time, Then demotion is inevitable. Similarly, if Lin Meiren can prove her innocence, then the person who framed her will of course be punished in the same way."

Hearing what Du Yuncheng said, except for a trace of panic flashing across Concubine Duan Xian's face, everyone else's expressions remained unchanged.Including Empress Liu and Concubine Yun Shu who have been wooing Concubine Duan Xian.They really wanted to take Concubine Duan Xian for their own use!However, Concubine Duan Xian never made a clear statement, instead, the two of them had a good relationship.Since it can't be won over, it's not unacceptable to suppress this strength as the next best thing, anyway, as long as the other party doesn't get it.

Of course, Du Yuncheng would not fail to notice the change in Concubine Duan Xian's expression, he was both angry and disappointed!He can understand and forgive Concubine Duan Xian's jealousy, but he chose to put the matter on his Longevity Day, and even used her daughters, completely disregarding their daughters' bodies, so as to poke Du Yuncheng's thunder. Clicked.

Du Yuncheng's own childhood experience, the most disgusting thing is the parents who don't pay attention to their children!Didn't he see that he hasn't forgiven the Empress Dowager Jiang, and hasn't abandoned the past with her? !
"Beauty Lin can talk about it now, right?" Empress Liu could also see that Lin Yuchan had definitely come prepared, and Concubine Duan Xian was probably going to die this time!
Lin Yuchan slightly bent her knees, and then said to Chunhua, "Since Concubine Duan Xian said that I added glutinous rice flour to the food of the two imperial daughters, then you go back and fetch the glutinous rice flour from our palace! Let the saint, Empress Empress, and other ladies, take a look! Did I ever do such a thing!"

Chunhua received Lin Yuchan's order, but did not act immediately, but looked in the direction of Du Yuncheng and Queen Liu, and left after getting approval.

Seeing this, Concubine Duan Xian thought it was Lin Yuchan who asked Chunhua to fetch the leftover glutinous rice flour, and she wanted to check the portion, so she immediately felt relieved!He sneered and said, "Even if there is some leftover glutinous rice flour, so what? Who knows how much you used? Who knows where you used the missing parts?"

Du Yuncheng also frowned when he heard this.

Lin Yuchan was not panicked, and looked at Concubine Duan Xian with a smile, "If that's the case! Naturally, it is impossible to prove the innocence of the concubine, but it is useless if it is the concubine?"

"What did you say?!" Concubine Duan Xian exclaimed, looking at Lin Yuchan in disbelief. "No! It's impossible! You went to get the glutinous rice flour three days ago! How could you not use it at all after such a long time?!" no……

Not only Concubine Duan Xian, but also everyone else showed expressions of surprise.Generally speaking, this kind of food is used immediately after taking it back, but Lin Yuchan has kept it until now. If it weren't for Lin Yuchan, it would be impossible to know Duan Xianfei's plan in advance, and they couldn't help but suspect that Lin Yuchan did it on purpose. Concubine Duan Xian was tricked!

In fact, Lin Yuchan really knew about Concubine Duan Xian's plan in advance, and then followed her plan!
Lin Yuchan ignored everyone's different looks and Concubine Duan Xian's uneasy look, and continued, "I'm telling you the truth! The humble concubine was only on a whim that day, and wanted to eat glutinous rice balls, so she asked the people around her to fetch some glutinous rice." But since the sage read the records very much, he should know that when the glutinous rice flour was brought, it was already very late. At that time, people around him persuaded the concubine that eating glutinous rice balls at night was not easy to digest. I just thought about it for a while, so I didn’t insist on it. On the second day, when the people below asked for instructions, the concubine didn’t want to eat it anymore! So those glutinous rice noodles have been put in the present, and how much was taken back then. How much is left! The records in the imperial dining room should not only record who took what, but also how much each person took! Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for this matter to be done by concubine, please let the sage and empress know !"

"Concubine Xian, what do you say?" Du Yuncheng closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.Now that the matter has come to this point, the truth is already obvious. Now it will be clear when the maid next to Lin Yuchan takes the things, but seeing Lin Yuchan's confident look, Du Yuncheng doesn't think she will lie about this matter.And there is no need for this!After all, there are quite a few things, and there is no way to fake them!
Concubine Duan Xian was still dying, "I haven't taken the things yet, how does this concubine know whether what Lin Meiren said is true or not? Also, if it wasn't for Lin Meiren, then there must have been someone else who took the glutinous rice flour and said Maybe it’s because they stayed until now, wanting to provoke the relationship between the alienated concubine and Lin Meiren, and then borrow a knife to kill people?!"

After hearing Concubine Duan Xian's answer, Du Yuncheng did not leave to answer, but closed his eyes, waiting for Chunhua to come over.When Empress Liu saw Du Yuncheng's performance, she knew that Concubine Duan Xian had really cheated this time!If Du Yuncheng had the heart to protect Concubine Duan Xian, then he should take advantage of the present, when the matter has not yet become a foregone conclusion, to turn the big thing into a small thing!But he didn't do that, which shows that Du Yuncheng really needs to be dealt with severely.

Empress Liu's eyes flickered for a moment, but she finally decided to sit on the sidelines.The downfall of Concubine Duan Xian will benefit her a lot!
Everyone else had the same idea.Some were incapable of intervening, and they didn't have the weight to intercede, while some wished that Concubine Duan Xian would fall so that they could make way for them!
Of course, it is impossible for Lin Yuchan to lie about this kind of matter, and it is impossible for Chunhua to make mistakes, so of course there is no problem with the glutinous rice flour taken from her palace.

Du Yuncheng looked at the director of the imperial dining room who was kneeling below, "You just said, besides Lin Meiren, who went to fetch glutinous rice flour these two days, who else?"

The director of the imperial dining room carefully glanced at Concubine Duan Xian, and replied tremblingly, "There is... and Concubine Xian... but... but..."

Du Yuncheng didn't wait for him to finish, so he told the other party to shut up, and then looked at Concubine Duan Xian with gloomy eyes, "A tiger's poison does not eat its children! I also thought that as a mother, it is impossible to hurt my child , but I didn't expect it...today I really opened my eyes!"

Concubine Duan Xian hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, her beautiful face was crying like rain, "Saint! Not a concubine, not a concubine! How could a concubine harm my child? A saint must have believed in a concubine! "

But Du Yuncheng was unmoved at all, and announced the punishment for Concubine Duan Xian on his own, "Concubine Xian is jealous, behaves disorderly, murders her own daughter, frames concubines, writes, and demotes to be a rich girl! To prevent this The incident happened again, the eldest daughter of the emperor and the second daughter of the emperor moved to the Princess Courtyard from now on, Duan Chongyuan——" Hesitating for a moment, Du Yuncheng originally wanted to let her have no purpose to visit, but after all, he was moved with a little compassion, "Ten days You can visit once!"
