"Is there a place for you to lie down in front of me? Even if you are unconscious, you should still understand the meaning of dignity and inferiority!"
Zheng Yinghuan reprimanded, so what if he was really crazy? When he should kneel in front of her, he should always kneel.
The concubine seemed to understand, so she staggered up from the bed and knelt on the ground.
"Everyone says you are crazy, but you only have to know in your heart whether you are crazy or not. But do you think I will forgive you after you have fallen into such a miserable state? You have been doing the same thing with me these years. After so many things, you should know what my temper is!"
Zheng Yinghuan knelt down and reached out to pinch Ting Bin's chin. She just liked to see people looking so backward and humble, especially those who had offended her.
"Do you have to push me to this point?"
Ting Bin seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, and asked coldly, her eyes filled with despair and numbness.
"Why don't you pretend anymore? I thought you would pretend all your life?"
Zheng Yinghuan was not surprised, she was completely understanding. She probably guessed that the Ting concubine was probably just pretending to be crazy. How could a woman who had lived in the harem for so many years go crazy so easily?
"It seems that you know it in your heart. You are afraid that I will retaliate against you, so you just put yourself in such a miserable state. But you are wrong. Even if you are really crazy, I will not let you live. Go down!"
Zheng Yinghuan shook Ting Bin's face away and smiled like a poisonous snake.
She had been in the harem for so many years and had never been angry at all. It was just because the concubine Ting had been so angry with the Queen Mother.
She didn't dare to do anything to the Queen Mother, but the concubine must die. If she didn't die, it would be difficult to understand the hatred in her heart!
"Why must your Majesty drive me to death? I have done so many things for you over the years, but I just offended you when I was pregnant. Do you have to make me pay such a high price!"
The concubine closed her eyes and shed a line of clear tears.
Even after reaching this point, I still don’t want to let myself go.
"Yes," Zheng Yinghuan nodded condescendingly. Anyone who made her unhappy would have to pay such a heavy price.
"You must force me to this point. If so, then we will die together!"
Ting Bin suddenly pounced on Zheng Yinghuan and strangled her neck fiercely. People who are forced into desperate situations will inevitably take extreme actions.
Zheng Yinghuan didn't expect Ting Bin to be so bold. She was strangled by the neck with both hands, and she was about to be unable to breathe. She could only hold Ting Bin's hand with all her strength.
…
"Mother, princess, something happened!"
Mingyu ran back in a panic, and his whole body was in a panic.
"What's up?"
Xie Ruling was teaching Chu Xin how to practice calligraphy. When she saw Mingyue looking so flustered, she immediately put down her pen.
"It was said that the concubine was poisoned. The people on the imperial concubine's side found that the poison was in the hands of the imperial physician Wang. The imperial physician Wang said that an ugly palace maid came over with the jade pendant, saying that his master needed it. At this moment The imperial concubine ordered that the palace maid with the jade pendant must be found!"
Mingyu looked at Chu Xin. She has been following Chu Xin closely these days. She knew that Princess Yan seemed to have sent a jade pendant. Could it be...
Chu Xin also thought about it immediately, and her whole heart was in a state of confusion. Could it be that it was really the jade pendant that Chu Yan sent over? Is this all another conspiracy?
"Go down and find out who in our palace has secretly been to Tai Hospital in the past few days. Bring them over quickly!"
Xie Ruling's brows furrowed tightly. She had just left the Cold Palace not long ago. The only people she could trust in Zhong Cui Palace were Mingyu and Mingruo. The others might...
"yes"
Mingyu nodded and stepped back.
"Mother," Chu Xin was a little panicked at this moment. She quickly ran to the dressing table and took the box over. When she opened it, there was a sapphire pendant lying on it. This was what Chu Yan had given her that day.
"You said that Chu Yan gave this to you and told you to accept it?"
Xie Ruling coldly took the jade pendant over there and looked at it carefully. This time it was clear that he was coming for them again!
"yes."
Chu Xin lowered her head in grievance, knowing that she had made another stupid mistake.
But she used to really regard Chu Yan as her good sister, so she accepted this jade pendant and put it on the dressing table.
But I didn't expect that the other party had such thoughts. Was it because Chu Yan was laughing at her stupidity when she accepted the jade pendant?
Xie Ruling took the jade pendant and threw it to the ground. The jade pendant immediately broke into pieces.
Chu Xin lowered her head in despair and said nothing. She shouldn't be so stupid.
"You really have too many good times and are becoming more and more stupid! You and Chu Shu can be good sisters because you have a life-long friendship. You said it yourself, when Chu Shu fell into the lotus pond, Sometimes I am willing to let go of my hand and leave you on the shore, but how much do you know about Chu Yan?"
Xie Ruling really hated the iron, and was so angry that she didn't even want to say anything. She picked up the tea cup and threw it to the ground, but she was still panicking in her heart.
Chu Xin shed tears of grievance and bit her lip. She knew she was wrong.
Originally, she looked at Chu Yan who looked a little timid and shouldn't have so many bad thoughts, but she forgot that Chu Shu said that basically the princesses in the harem like to surround Chu Yi and please her.
Why does she think she can compete with Chu Yi?
"Have you ever figured out who owns this harem? Who is the leader of these princesses?"
Xie Ruling was really angry to death. Ever since she left the cold palace, Chu Xin had been enjoying these luxurious days more and more, without even thinking about it!
If Chu Xin had a good mother and concubine like Chu Yi, she would naturally be able to live happily without having to use her brain. But she has already reached this situation now, how can she still be as ignorant as a fool?
"Chu Yan is always around Chu Yi. Why do you think she is your good sister after only meeting you a few times? She is already weak-tempered, so how can she dare to resist Chu Yi? Do you think she is your good sister? Is she like Chu Shu?"
"It was my fault. I shouldn't trust people so easily."
Chu Xin lowered her head in loneliness. The sister she trusted had indeed already thought about how to harm herself.
In fact, it's quite aggrieved to think about it. Chu Yi always talks coldly to these sisters, but because of his status, he is always surrounded by a large group of people. No matter what, he will always choose to please her.
"You should reflect on yourself here. If things get serious tonight, you know what will happen to us!"
Xie Ruling left a word and turned around coldly to leave. She still had to deal with the palace maid's affairs, so she didn't have time to spend all her time here. She could only pray that tonight's events would go through safely.
"Empress, only Suiyu went to the Imperial Physician Wang to get some medicine in the past three days, because she was the only one in Zhongcui Palace who went to the Imperial Hospital, so it's easy to find out."
Mingyu had been waiting in the side hall for a long time. He heard that this person had indeed been found, but the panic in his heart had never gone away.
If the imperial concubine really wants to pursue the case, they really can't explain their grievances, and I'm afraid all this will be just another game!
"My Majesty is aware of it. My Majesty is aware that this slave is just feeling unwell, just like Doctor Wang asking for some medicine. I really don't dare to do anything to betray my Majesty!"
The little palace maid named Suiyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard. Her forehead was swollen and her whole face was covered with tears. She looked like she had really been wronged.
Xie Ruling looked at all this with cold eyes, glanced at all the maids present, and sat in the seat above without saying a word.
"Since it is a physical discomfort and not a serious illness, this Imperial Hospital can be treated by any imperial physician. Why do you only go to Imperial Physician Wang!"
Xie Ruling asked coldly, glancing at the reactions of everyone present with her peripheral vision as she spoke.
"It's because when I went there, I happened to meet Dr. Wang. I really don't know what poison is. I really don't know!"
Suiyu knelt on the ground and cried loudly, really not understanding what happened.
"Shut up. Don't you know by now that our Zhongcui Palace is going to be in disaster? If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to tell the truth, I can execute you right now!"
Mingruo, who was guarding him, was also very anxious. If the master was punished, how could they, all slaves, live well?
The only clues at the moment are all on Suiyu, but I didn't expect that this girl can only cry and can't tell the truth. She is really worried to death!
"But this slave really doesn't know what kind of poison there is. Didn't Sister Mingyu find anything from me? Is it just because I went to see Dr. Wang that I have to unjustly accuse this slave?"
Sui Yu burst into tears, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Xie Ruling just looked at him coldly without saying a word, thinking carefully about what was wrong here.
"Will you still hide the poison on your body for us to find? Now that it has happened, you are still pretending to act. When the time comes, Concubine Jing will be blamed. How do you think you can be any better!"
Mingruo was really angry to death. Looking at this broken jade who was crying into tears, she really didn't know what to do. Is torture really the only option?
"You should remind me," Xie Ruling's eyes suddenly lit up, "I will ask Mingruo to search all the rooms where you live, whether it is your room or the people who live with you. The room must be searched inside and out!"
From the corner of her eye, Xie Ruling glanced at Ningyu, who lived in the same room as Suiyu, and saw that her fists were clenching tighter and tighter, so she knew that this idea was correct.
"yes!"
Ming Ruo got the order and quickly led people to search. At the moment, she still didn't know what was going on with the imperial concubine. If they could find the culprit in their own palace, they would hope to reduce the guilt.
"Mingyu, come here."
Xie Ruling waved to Mingyu. Mingyu obediently stepped forward and listened with his head slightly lowered. After hearing these words, he nodded and left quickly.
"I beg you to be aware of everything. I really only went to Dr. Wang to ask for some medicine to heal my body. I didn't dare to ask for some poison. There is no reason to harm the empress Tingting!"
Suiyu was really scared and kept crying.
"Do you think the imperial concubine will listen to your words? She won't think that you are going to harm the concubine, she will only think that these are my intentions.
Shu Gui is a good sister of this palace. She was demoted because of her concubine. If I want to avenge my sister and murder the concubine, it makes sense. So what do you think the imperial concubine will do? What about disposal? "
Xie Ruling shook her head helplessly. When she was a noble concubine, she had cultivated many confidants who could understand what she meant with just one look. But now she can only rely on herself for everything.
