Chapter 271: Since you are a sinner, give me a drink!
The emperor was so angry and majestic that the two of them immediately fell silent.
After a moment, the concubine stood up from the couch and knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times: "Your Majesty, I have invited you to see Ling for your consent. I want to ask her why I killed my concubine and my sixteenth brother like this!"
"Please, Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"
The emperor naturally refused: "How can you go to a hellish and bloody place like the Shenxing Division? You just gave birth to an heir and your body is weak."
"Your Majesty..." The concubine still wanted to beg.
The emperor took advantage of the situation and sighed: "Let's have someone carry the spirit promised."
After joining the Shenxing Department, I have to use the word "carry" now, and I am afraid that I have become a bloody person.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" The concubine concealed the fear in her heart and thanked the Emperor for his kindness.
While waiting for Ling to agree to come over, Concubine Min served the emperor's meal.
The secret concubine is in the house, carefully tracing her eyebrows, sketching her hair, wearing clothes, gold, silver and jade ornaments, changing her frail appearance during childbirth.
At this time, people outside the palace sang: "The Concubine De has arrived!"
Mi Bin and Min Bin exchanged glances.
Why did Concubine De come here at this time? Wouldn't she be throwing herself into a trap?
Following Empress Dowager De, there was also the Uranala clan of Sifu Jin who happened to be in the palace.
Afterwards, another palace official continued to announce: "Concubine Hui is here!"
"Empress Yi Fei has arrived!"
"Concubine Rong has arrived!"
"Little Concubine Tongjia is here!"
…
Everyone in the palace was full of human beings. As early as when the Empress Dowager spoke out, everyone was staring at the movements of the Shenxing Division.
Usually, no matter which concubine in the palace gives birth to a child, the concubines will come to visit.
It's customary.
Even if the emperor knew that they had their own thoughts at the moment, he could not blame them for coming together.
Little Tong Jia's summary: "It's a coincidence that the sisters have come to visit the secret concubine and the sixteenth brother."
The emperor could only let them get up.
Concubine Min ordered the palace officials to move the embroidered pier so that these high-ranking concubines could take their seats.
Concubine Yi was the most impatient and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, I have heard that Hirazon has recruited the mastermind?"
Kangxi took a bite of the pastry and nodded: "The news about Concubine Yi is quite fast. Hirazon said Concubine De instigated him."
Concubine Rong took a breath and hurriedly spoke in front of the others: "Could it be that? Hirazon heard that it was Concubine De's family who temporarily took over his position, so he directly blamed Concubine De. Bar?"
Concubine Hui, who was secretly happy but still calm on her face, also said, "Yes, it was Concubine De who captured Hirazon in one fell swoop that day. Could it be that they were putting on a show to deceive everyone?"
Lu Pheasant looked at Concubine Hui.
She, a distant relative of the family who had graduated from the fifth service, said she agreed, but in fact she was blowing the wind in an even more unfavorable direction for Concubine De.
When the emperor blurted out that she was the concubine, she stood up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have made it clear that I have never colluded with the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nor have I had any unfavorable intentions towards my concubine. No matter who accuses me, I am willing to confront you."
Lu Pheasant, as the fourth lucky Jin, naturally had to kneel down.
Kangxi drank the tea he gargled in his mouth, waved the meal away, and nodded: "My concubine has just asked for permission to see the spirit. I have agreed, and she will be here soon."
Lu Pheasant, whose senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, smelled a vague smell of blood.
A man dressed in a hooded black suit with a pale face and a bloodless spirit agreed.
The strong servant grabbed her, lifted her off the stretcher, and forced her to bow.
Ling promised to fall to the ground weakly and bonelessly, then opened his mouth and said: "Hail, Your Majesty."
Even though there were all high-ranking concubines present who had been standing for many years, seeing a good-looking person transform into such an inhuman state within a few days, one couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and couldn't help but retreat.
Smelling the unmistakable smell of blood, Concubine De also tried her best to maintain her kneeling position.
Only Lu Pheasant tried his best to be a little transparent as usual.
After all, Kangxi was a hero who had fought on the battlefield. He nodded lightly.
Liang Jiugong asked: "Ling promised, you will testify that Concubine De ordered you to do everything. Is this true?"
Ling promised to lower her head, her hood covered her hair and forehead, and her low and hoarse voice sounded: "If you tell me back to the emperor, this is indeed true."
"Then do you know why Concubine De is so unfavorable to her concubine?"
"Secret concubine?"
"That's the former Royal Concubine."
Ling agreed and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Sinners don't know. Your Majesty, the grievances between ladies, sinners are just tools to them."
"How can anyone interrogate the master's thoughts? Whatever the empress wants the sinner to do, the sinner can only agree."
Concubine De said: "Ling agrees, since you claim that everything is done by me. May I ask, how do I communicate with you? The last time I ordered you to take action, when was it and what method was used?"
Ling promised to remain motionless and not look at Concubine De. She just said: "My Lady, at this point, what's the point of asking the sinner these questions?"
Concubine Hui said from the side: "Yes, Your Majesty. Concubine De asked about these details and wanted to check them, but they can also make them up, right?"
Concubine Yi agreed: "No, the people in Yonghe Palace always tell the best stories."
Kangxi turned the red sandalwood beads without saying a word.
At this time, the concubine stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me promise you a glass of water."
Little Tong Jia said immediately: "My concubine must be really kind-hearted. She agreed to harm you like this, but you are still willing to pity her."
The secret concubine said coldly: "Little Concubine Tong Jia has misunderstood. I just want to ask why Ling promised to harm Brother Sixteen and me."
"Long live my time is precious. Let her drink water just to make it easier to talk."
Little Tong Jia was in trouble.
Even Concubine Rong glanced at her.
The emperor nodded.
Mi Concubine moved forward and Liang Jiugong brought the plate.
She picked up the pottery cup, knelt down, and brought it to Ling Yaosheng's mouth.
Ling agreed but remained motionless and refused to even open his mouth.
The concubine shouted: "Drink! Since you are a sinner, give me a drink!"
"Whoever promised you great benefits and framed me and the child in my belly is the Dragonborn, and how dare you!"
"Who in this world can give you more grace than the Emperor?"
"Ling promises, look up at me. I have no enmity with you. How cruel are you?"
Seeing that Ling promised to be still like a puddle of stagnant water, the concubine stretched out her hand and pinched her chin: "Look up!"
The force was so great that the concubine herself even tilted her body.
Ling promised that he could not control himself. He followed her gesture and raised his head, just in time to meet the same pale profile of the concubine in front of him, as well as the pearls on her head that she deliberately wore.
Zhu Cui must be trying to cover up her current weakness and pale face.
Among the brilliance, an out-of-place hairpin caught Ling's eye.
A strange light suddenly bloomed in her dead eyes.
Like a trapped animal hiding in the dark night, it sees the light of life.
