Harem Empress

Chapter 31 Framed and blamed ([-])

Being pinched by Emperor Jingyang, he was speechless, and could only helplessly shake his head with tears streaming down his face. His eyes were wide open and he looked directly at the angry eyes of Emperor Jingyang in front of him. I knew that this time he was completely I was irritated, because the evidence I forged completely trampled his dignity under his feet. Suddenly, Emperor Jingyang threw me hard, and fell to the ground with a "plop", his hands slipped, Immediately, bright red blood flowed out, and he hurriedly stroked his pinched throat with trembling hands, and gasped for a few rough breaths.Emperor Jingyang clenched his fists fiercely, his white joints trembling uncontrollably, Emperor Jingyang was really furious this time, he didn't even want to look at me, it seems that I The desired effect was achieved, and he hurriedly got up from the ground and pretended to cry, saying: "I don't have any concubines! Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

"Do you still dare to say that there is no? You see for yourself what is going on with this letter, and what is going on with this flute? I really misunderstood you." Emperor Jingyang gritted his teeth and said, He slammed the letter paper in his hand in front of me.

When I was talking about the flute, I could clearly feel that Emperor Jing’s voice had started to tremble. I knew it was because I had lied to him, and Emperor Jing leaned down again and supported my chin with one hand. , looking fiercely at me kneeling on the ground helplessly, if I were an ant, maybe he would have crushed me by now.

Concubine De's proud and charming voice came from the side of the originally quiet Hall of Mental Cultivation: "Long live, Concubine Dan is so stubborn. In my concubine's humble opinion, we might as well listen to the witness and see how she still argues." Emperor Yang suddenly let go of his hand and walked towards the sitting seat.

Caiyue, who had already knelt on the ground and shivered, said in a trembling voice: "My Majesty, Danbi Madam plays this flute every day, and every time she plays the flute, she never asks anyone to serve her in the middle of the night. At first, I was very puzzled, but then the servant once pretended to be brave and wanted to learn secretly. Who knows, when he saw Vice Commander Zheng and the empress making love to each other in the yard, the servant slipped back to the room secretly because she was afraid that the empress would kill her. Hearing that Vice Commander Zheng is dead and there are ghosts and gods haunting Xiangyuan Pavilion, the maidservant was afraid, so she mentioned this matter to her elder sister Yueyue. She never thought that Yueyue was framed by others. The maidservant was really frightened, so she went to Empress Defei to explain the matter. There is absolutely no falsehood in this matter, I hope the emperor will learn from you!" Caiyue kowtowed on the ground non-stop after she finished speaking.

The queen above suddenly asked sharply: "Dongyue is your sister? Then there are some things that I have to ask clearly, so as not to wrong a good person. Tell the truth, is it because you want to avenge your sister that you framed Concubine Dan?" of?"

"Sister Empress, Dongyue found someone to frame Danbi. It's a lie, but how can this love letter and the jade flute be here to prove it? Besides, my sister should have heard it too, just a few days ago in the harem late at night. There will always be a flute sound, and this flute sound is ambiguous, and it is clearly that Concubine Dan is quietly showing love to Zheng Yuan!" Concubine De glanced triumphantly at me who was kneeling on the ground and said viciously.

"Don't say anything, I want to hear how Danbi explains this matter." Emperor Jingyang who was sitting on top said sternly.

It seems that everything is as I expected, because Emperor Jingyang pinched me too hard just now, I can only caress my red neck with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "The sound of the flute was played by my concubine, but The jade flute in front of the emperor is not owned by the concubine, and the concubine can use your four treasures of the study."

Seeing my guilty expression, the anger on Emperor Jingyang's face could no longer be suppressed, and he scolded loudly: "Tu Dehai, bring me the four treasures of my study, and see what she has to say."

Tu Dehai lisuo put the four treasures of the study on the ground, gritted his teeth and gently wrapped the bleeding palm with the silk handkerchief in his hand, stretched out his trembling hand to pick up the pen, endured the pain from his hand and quickly wrote a poem: " I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day and drink the water of the Yangtze River without seeing you. When will this water stop? When will this hatred end? I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never fail to love you.” Finished writing In the end, tears were streaming down my face, and I presented it with trembling hands.

Emperor Jingyang took it over and took a look, "haha." He laughed, "I understand now." After speaking, he walked down, raised his hand to help me up, and gently wiped away the tears on his face with his hand , I know, I made it.All the concubines present were confused by Emperor Jingyang's actions, especially Concubine De, who was sitting by the side, looked at Emperor Jingyang's back in bewilderment, and asked, "Long live, you, you What is the meaning of this!"

Emperor Jingyang put the words I just wrote into the empress's hand with his hands behind his back, and didn't say anything. How to explain it?"

"Since the concubine entered the palace, I have missed my family very much, and the sound of the flute is the only sustenance of the concubine." After speaking, he took out the Hetian jade flute from his bosom, "This is the jade flute of the concubine. There can also be names of concubines on it."

Tu Dehai took the flute and presented it in front of Emperor Jingyang. Emperor Jingyang looked at the flute up and down, and smiled thoughtfully. According to people close to Zheng Yuan, he is usually not fond of music, and he has never met Dan Concubine. Every time he comes to the harem, he brings three or five guards, and this is from Zheng Yuan's room. The letters found in it."

Emperor Jingyang opened the letter and looked, the corner of his mouth raised into a smile, and said with a sneer: "It seems that someone wants to make use of the problem, and someone will pull this palace maid out to play 20 big boards, let's see if she still talks about it." To be honest, be careful not to kill her, I still have something to ask her."

Caiyue, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked and shouted loudly: "Long live, spare my life, long live, spare my life, servant, tell the truth, tell the truth."

"Say it soon." Emperor Jingyang scolded loudly, making the concubines present tremble.

"Yes, yes." Caiyue faltered there, glanced sideways at Concubine De above and said abruptly: "The concubine De concubine told her servants to say so."

Emperor Jingyang glanced at Concubine De, who was flustered beside him, and Concubine De quickly knelt down and said, "Long live, there is no concubine! Concubine serves the emperor wholeheartedly, and concubine Dan is of no benefit to framed concubine Dan!"

"How can it be of no benefit to you? If one is cleared away, who will dare to compete with you in the harem in the future? Isn't it what you want to be crowned the harem?" Concubine Jin on the side sneered and added fuel.

Concubine De rolled her eyes at Concubine Jin opposite, ignored Concubine Jin's provocation, but pretended to look pitifully at Emperor Jingyang above, and kept arguing, "Your Majesty knows the lesson! Concubine Jin must have ordered this lowly servant girl to come here." The one who framed the concubine, the concubine is really wronged!" After finishing speaking, Concubine De began to cry softly.

"I don't have such a good leisure time to visit my sister's muddy water. It's a bit deceiving for my sister Defei to overturn the boat and try to drag others into the water!" Concubine Jin looked at the other side proudly and sobbed Concubine De said sarcastically.
