Princess Yinghua knows that she must not be cowardly at such a critical moment!
"Father, I also made a bold guess when I saw the strange look on your face. Since the matter is so important, the suspects should be arrested and interrogated!"
But her voice was still trembling uncontrollably. She had no part in the mother-in-law's plan. She really just came to watch a show, so she was not taught in advance how to deal with emergencies.
Now she can only delay until the mother-in-law finds a way to save her!
"Aren't you telling the truth? What's the use of stealing this money, or who instigated you?"
"Father, my son is really unjust!"
Apart from these words, Yinghua seemed to have no other excuse to clear his suspicions. Emperor Dongling sat back again and said, "Keep kneeling, tell the truth when you want, and get up again when you want!"
On the other side, not long after Concubine Chen left the imperial study, she finally couldn't bear it and tightened her grip on Xia Yunxian's hand.
She knew that she had narrowly escaped death again this time. Concubine Xue had suffered several losses and she must have hated her so much that she might have wanted to kill her this time!
What secret is hidden in that wolf hair?
She doesn't know, and she doesn't dare to know!
If you want to live longer in the palace, sometimes you have to be confused!
"Empress, I will help you go back."
Xia Yunxian's calm voice was like a breeze passing by, making Concubine Chen feel a little better.
In Zhaoqing Palace, Qing Huan was already tied up and kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were full of fear, and she looked up pitifully at Concubine Chen who had returned safely.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Dr. Xia's one-sided words. Why did my servant betray you?"
"Yes, I don't understand why you want to help Concubine Xue?"
Concubine Chen was heartbroken. In this man-eating prison, trust was so precious. She gave her trust to Qing Huan, but she was trampled on like this!
Qing Huan burst into tears, looking like she wanted to show her loyalty, "Three years ago, in order to help the empress deliver a message, I risked being killed by Concubine Xue Guifei's stick, and finally helped the empress get out of trouble."
"Two years ago, this slave broke a pair of his knees while protecting his wife who fell into the lake. She is still suffering from bone-piercing pain."
"This servant is willing to risk his life for the sake of the empress. The sky is a lesson! There must be a misunderstanding..."
She was extremely sad, Concubine Chen's eyes flashed, and she felt a little hesitant in her heart.
Xia Yunxian on the side didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but keeping this Qing Huan would definitely be a disaster.
"Miss Qinghuan is pretty and lovely, and her figure is also excellent. Look at this dress, she is so tight and graceful. If I were a man, I wouldn't be able to help but look at her twice."
Qing Huan's face froze. For some reason, when Xia Yunxian opened her mouth, she felt an inexplicable fear. She always felt as if everything about her had been seen through by Doctor Xia.
"Xia, Imperial Doctor Xia was very complimentary..."
"The emperor comes here often recently, has he ever praised you?" Xia Yunxian smiled. The authorities were confused, but she was as clear as a mirror.
There are many maids and maids in the back house who want to fly up the branches and become phoenixes because of their beauty. This can be seen in the way they dress.
At this time, Concubine Chen had not heard the meaning of these words, but Xia Yunxian had slowly walked up to Qing Huan.
"Today Concubine Xue's plot was exposed. Do you think you can still survive?"
The sound was like a huge thunder, and the bang exploded in Qing Huan's ears. She froze for a long time, and suddenly looked at Concubine Chen unwillingly, "If it weren't for the empress, how could this slave end up in the field now?"
What? !
Concubine Chen looked at her angry and mean face and was stunned for a moment.
Qing Huan's appearance at this moment made her feel extremely strange. The two people who had once been a master and servant were like enemies at this moment.
"Yes, Doctor Xia is right, I won't survive this. In this case, I don't have to pretend anymore."
She straightened up, her eyes cold and empty.
"Have you forgotten, have you? I promised you that I would serve the emperor." Qing Huan smiled lightly, "How can the empress go back on her word and go out of the palace to marry someone? Who should I marry, and who can marry the emperor?"
Even if she is not favored in the palace, she is still a minor mistress. Moreover, Concubine Chen is so loved by the emperor, so the emperor will naturally not treat her favorably with the people she recommends.
"Your Majesty is so selfish. You want to monopolize the Emperor all by yourself. I can obviously help you in the future. What are you planning for me? Your Majesty has no idea what I want!"
"In other words, the empress doesn't care what the slave is thinking, she just likes to make her own decisions. Doesn't she want everyone in the world to be grateful?"
I have paid so much, just hoping that Concubine Chen can fulfill her promise and let her be a master for once.
"When I entered the palace, my father said harsh words, telling me not to see him again unless I made a name for myself."
Qing Huan thought of her father's powerful face, and she made up her mind at that time. The next time they met, her father would kneel in front of her and beg her!
She tried her best and finally entered Zhaoqing Palace, but as she grew older, Concubine Chen actually wanted to abandon her and send her out of the palace!
Since the empress can't do it, why should she give her hope and let her waste so much time and effort!
"So Concubine Xue promised to dedicate you to the emperor? Do you really think she can tolerate a slave like you who rebels against her master and seeks glory?" Xia Yunxian's tone was cold and stern, but she was laughed at by Qing Huan.
"How could I not know about such a simple thing? But I have my own tricks."
Qing Huan felt that she was lucky to have stumbled upon Concubine Xue's secret. She wanted to stand out so much, so God had given her such an opportunity. How could she not seize it?
Unfortunately……
"If the empress can save my life, I will give you this clue. What do you think of it?" Qing Huan didn't think that the plan would fail, so he kept it secret.
Concubine Chen frowned slightly. This cheap servant betrayed her and now threatens her!
"Your Majesty, this is the handle that will put Concubine Xue out of danger!" Qing Huan took a few steps forward, with a confident light in her eyes, "Don't you hope that the dragon seed in your belly will come to the world safely?"
She was willing to admit defeat. Since she lost, she could only comply with Concubine Chen's arrangements and live the rest of her life peacefully with the reward given by Concubine Chen.
Although this result made her unwilling, it was not unacceptable.
"The clue that allows you to know is probably not an important secret." Xia Yunxian slowly sipped her tea and let her go. Wouldn't everyone in Zhaoqing Palace follow suit in the future?
Some rules cannot be messed with.
"Let me tell you, that person is..."
After Xia Yunxian lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, Qinghuan's eyes widened in disbelief...
