imperial concubine

Chapter 189
The bright yellow sunlight shone in the main hall of the East Palace, giving it a warm feeling.In the main hall, there are many eunuchs and court ladies standing hand in hand, and they are very popular.But Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin felt that they were too cold!

Although the Queen's words just now seemed simple, they were forcing her and Concubine Lin to express their views!The queen has already hinted to herself that if you don't speak again, I will treat you as the accomplices behind the scenes and deal with them together!

After being silent for a while, Concubine Shu said unwillingly: "This matter is strange to say, although Liu Banxia insisted that it was Su Wan's instigation, but after Su Wan entered the palace, she has always kept her own place and should not do such a thing. yes."

Since the queen is now forcing herself to express her opinion, she can only follow the queen's wishes.However, Concubine Shu is also a very thoughtful person, she didn't say death according to the queen's will, but made a live button, waiting for it might be useful in the future.

Although Concubine Lin on one side doesn't take care of chores, she is Linglong and smart. When she hears Concubine Shu's words, she immediately knows what she means. Wan Xianhui, I don't think I would do such a crazy thing. Please think twice before making a decision."

Although Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin seemed to be pleading for Su Wan, Su Wan didn't appreciate it.The two were just trying to draw a line between the two of them and the queen.Even if it is found out in the future that he was the one behind the scenes to instigate the assassination of the prince, then the two of them can lightly take responsibility for the villain's deception by saying that they didn't know the person at the beginning.

The queen saw that Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin were standing by Su Wan's side, and then asked the second concubine: "The second concubine is always smart and wise, what do you think of the second concubine on this matter?"

This matter is of great importance, and it is necessary to take care of all people in all aspects.Although the second concubine is in the same line as Concubine Shu, she has always been very assertive. If I ignore her, I'm afraid it will be a hidden danger in the future.

Hearing the queen's question, the second concubine raised her head, but saw that her eyes were red with tears in her eyes, and she said to the empress with a crying sound: "Return to your empress, although this concubine knows that Su Wan's behavior is definitely not like this. But now that the evidence is convincing, the concubine really doesn't know whether to believe sister Wan or the evidence given by these servants."

Seeing the sadness on the second concubine's face, if Su Wan hadn't known that the concubine was behind all of this, she would definitely be grateful, even if she was framed to death by the concubine, she would never forget the concubine the benefits of.

Yun Jingya on the side saw that the second concubine had finished speaking, and said in a deep voice: "Empress, the evidence for this matter is solid. Although I and Su Wan are old acquaintances, the matter has reached such a point that I can no longer defend her. .”

When Su Wan was outside the palace, Yun Jingya made things difficult several times because of Qi Ruobing's relationship with the eldest lady.Afterwards, when she entered the palace, Fang Yuanli spoke to the queen to win her over, so Yun Jingya condescended to confess her mistake to herself, and wanted to win her over.However, Su Wan knew in her heart that Yun Jingya must still be jealous of herself!

Hearing what everyone said, the queen nodded slightly, and then said: "Su Wan, now that the evidence is solid, and someone confronted you on the spot, what else do you have to say? If you confess now, I can give you A joy."

On the surface, it seems that the queen is forcing Su Wan to confess her crime, but Su Wan can tell that the queen is giving herself a chance. If there is any hidden secret, just say it directly. If she continues to behave like just now, the queen will I punished myself.

As soon as the Queen's words fell, Su Wan immediately shed tears and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, Mingjian, since Zeyue left the capital with His Majesty, my heart has been completely attached to him. In the East Palace, apart from praying for His Majesty and Zeyue, it is just reading and meditating. There is no time to do such insane things!"

When I stayed behind closed doors in Yiliang Palace back then, it was obvious that the second concubine had already thought of this, so she wrote that her connection with Liu Banxia was only when she was not going out, and wanted to hold this charge firmly on his own head.

Hearing Su Wan's words, the queen frowned slightly. Su Wan had not been in the palace for a long time, so I didn't pay much attention to her. The eyeliner of Yiliang Palace never reported Su Wan's changes to her, and she read books and prayed for blessings every day. .

Thinking of this, the Queen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, she looked at Su Wan and said, "Although you said that you pray for His Majesty and the Fourth Prince every day in the palace, it is a one-sided statement after all, and there is no one to back it up; Liu Banxia has so much evidence, Are you saying that these evidences were fabricated by Liu Banxia just to frame you in this matter?"

Although Zhuru and Shuizhu were present when Su Wan was praying in the Yiliang Palace, they were Su Wan's personal maids, and they had the same heart with Su Wan. That's why there's no proof.

Liu Banxia on one side heard the queen say that her evidence was forged, so she hurried forward a few steps, and then said to the queen: "My empress, these letters are absolutely forged, and the small words are like dogs crawling, how can you Can you write such iron-painted and silver-hooked characters? The little one is absolutely not lying, and I hope the empress has a clear eye!"

Liu Banxia's words are very reasonable, he is a eunuch in the palace, he can read because he studied in a private school for a year before entering the palace.And the handwriting on the letter is very neat and beautiful, obviously not something that eunuch Liu Banxia can write.

When Yun Jingya heard Liu Banxia's words, she sighed softly, and then said to the queen: "Your Majesty, what Liu Banxia said is very reasonable. With his ability, even if he looks for it, he will never find one who can write such a good one. The friend who wrote the handwriting is here. Instead, it is the fourth prince and concubine." At this point, Yun Jingya looked at Su Wan and said, "The matter of praying for blessings is just her one-sided statement, which is not credible at all."

The handwriting on the letter is exactly Su Wan's handwriting; but Su Wan said that she had never written it, and she just read and prayed in the Yiliang Palace on weekdays.On the one hand, there is extremely strong evidence, on the other hand, it is just one side of the story. It is obvious that the winner and loser of the two sides have been separated.

The Empress thought for a moment, and then asked Su Wan, "Fourth Imperial Concubine, you said that you prayed and studied in the Yiliang Palace every day. Is there any witness at this time? Has anyone seen you in the Yiliang Palace with your own eyes? Fourth Prince praying?"

Now all the evidence points to Su Wan, whether it is a letter or Liu Banxia's confession.And Su Wan's defense is so feeble, how can I believe that she is innocent based on her one-sided words?
Hearing the queen's words, Su Wan shook her head and said, "Return to the empress, when the concubine prays, only the concubine's two personal servants are by her side. But if others are watching even when praying, then is the concubine praying or not?" Did it on purpose for others to see?"

If it's really a blessing, it should be like Su Wan, bringing her maid and praying in peace in the Buddhist hall; how can anyone invite all the people in the palace, and then go to the back hall by himself, let them watch him pray reason?
The queen who was sitting high on the head seat nodded, and what Su Wan said was also reasonable.It's just that Liu Banxia's evidence is solid, but Su Wan's one-sided statement. Could it be that Su Wan secretly instigated Liu Banxia to do such a thing?

I can't make rash judgments right now, if I make a mistake and Su Wan is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then I can rest assured.If I wronged Su Wan, I'm afraid that when His Majesty and the Fourth Prince come back, Concubine Shu will definitely use this matter to bring her down.

Suddenly, the empress had a flash of inspiration, narrowed her eyes slightly and said to Su Wan: "Since you said you didn't write this letter, then compare the handwriting on the letter. If it really wasn't written by you, it's natural to compare it." Out."

Hearing what the queen said, Su Wan secretly sneered.This method should have been used a long time ago, but the Queen didn't know why it took until now to use it.But the empress finally remembered it, so that she could continue walking along the path planned by the second concubine.

After finishing speaking, the empress said to Hui Xue, the maid beside her, "Go to Yiliang Palace, and get some letters, calligraphy and paintings written by the fourth concubine, and then go to the chief eunuch of the Jinyu Pavilion in the palace to meet you."

Hui Xue responded softly, and left the main hall with the two eunuchs.The queen sighed. It's not that she didn't think of this method just now, but if she really used this method, she would have no way out, so the queen could only confirm again and again to minimize all possibilities.In order not to fall into Concubine Shu's scheme on the spur of the moment.

Seeing Hui Xue taking people out, Yun Jingya looked at Su Wan and said coldly: "Su Wan, if you admit it now, you can still leave a whole body behind. If you wait until the evidence is conclusive, then even if you want to die Difficult!"

Yun Jingya has always been jealous of Su Wan, firstly because of Qi Ruobing; secondly because Su Wan might be behind the murder of her younger brother; the third and most important point is because Su Wan's It's just too sharp!

Whether it is the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty or the common people, everyone knows that Yun Jingya's ambition is to be a unparalleled and magnificent figure like the former eldest princess. Before Su Wan appeared, Yun Jingya had always done extremely well.

But ever since Su Wan appeared, whether it was drinking wine into poetry, or being praised by Fang Yuanli, these things made Yun Jingya feel a deep crisis.Yun Jingya has long realized that as long as Su Wan is around, she will not be able to be a princess-like character!

Seeing that Yun Jingya suddenly hated herself so much, Su Wan felt a little strange. Although she had some minor faults with Yun Jingya, she definitely wouldn't be in such an incompatible position. Could it be that Yun Jingya knew the secret she kept secret?
Then Su Wan shook her head, this is absolutely impossible.She let out a long sigh and said to Yun Jingya: "Even if Her Royal Highness cut Su Wan into pieces, as long as Su Wan did not do something, Su Wan would never admit it!"

According to the second concubine's plan, she has always been absolutely indisputable.However, after this step is completed, it will be time for him to switch from defense to offense. At that time, whoever will give the other a good time may not be sure!

Seeing Su Wan's obsession, Yun Jingya sneered and was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside the door. Everyone turned their heads and saw that Hui Xue was holding a few notes written by Su Wan in her hand, leading two huggers. The eunuch who was painting and calligraphy came in.

Here are Su Wan's calligraphy and paintings.
