Chapter 123: You're painting a rosy picture for me again
The virtuous concubine's face changed and she said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. The Empress and I have a deep sisterly relationship. How could I poison her? Your Majesty, this palace maid is accusing me wrongly. You must not believe this palace maid's one-sided words." The virtuous concubine's tears fell like beads from a broken string, and she looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Su Xin listened to this and looked at Concubine Xian with a firm gaze. There was no fear in her eyes anymore. She said in a deep voice, "Concubine Xian, you know whether I have wronged you or not. You kidnapped my brother and sister, threatened their lives, and forced me to poison the queen. You said that you would let them go after the deed was done. But I didn't expect that you would be so cruel as to kill them."
Her brother and sister died, and she didn't want to live alone in this world. Before she died, she wanted to make the person who killed her brother and sister pay for his crimes.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian was extremely flustered, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to what she said. This maid is wrongly accusing me. She must have been instructed by someone to frame me. The Empress and I are like sisters. How could I do such a heinous thing?"
[As expected of a scheming concubine in the harem, her acting skills are so good. The Oscars owe her a little golden man. ]
Concubine Xian: "..."
what sound?
When Emperor Ming Qing heard Ning Sangsang's thoughts, he did not say anything. He just looked at Concubine Xian with an expressionless face, and listened carefully to Ning Sangsang's thoughts with his ears perked up, wanting to hear what she would say next.
Concubine Xian saw that Emperor Mingqing was unmoved by her explanation and looked at her expressionlessly, with a hint of panic in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something else, the voice rang in her head again.
[This virtuous concubine looks gentle and kind on the surface, but in fact she is a ruthless and ambitious woman. She is not willing to be just a concubine. She wants to be the queen, second only to the emperor, and replace the queen as the master of the harem, and then let her son replace the prince as the crown prince. ]
Hearing someone speak out her thoughts, Concubine Xian's face changed drastically. Before she could react, the voice spoke again.
[In order to replace the Queen, this virtuous concubine pretended to be on good terms with the Queen, and then sent someone to find the Dream Return Powder to poison the Queen.]
[She thought that after poisoning the queen, she would be able to become the head of the harem. What a foolish dream. With her unpromising family, the emperor would never let her be the queen. She could only be the queen in her dreams.]
[Speaking of this, I have to sigh, it is true that birds of a feather flock together. This Concubine Xian and her brother Yang Wenguang are both a little stupid. One is thinking about the man he cannot afford to offend, and the other is asking someone to poison the Empress.]
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian's face instantly turned ugly. Where did this strange voice in her head come from?
She glanced at the people in the hall, wanting to see who was talking. There were only two women in the hall, Su Xin who was kneeling on the ground, and a strange little girl.
The voice in her head was not Su Xin's, so she turned her gaze to Ning Sangsang and looked at her with a frown.
Ning Sangsang looked at Concubine Xian looking at her and blinked.
[What is this virtuous concubine looking at me for? ]
[Could it be that because my father caused Yang Wenguang to be exiled, he is angry with me and is looking for trouble with me? ]
[The atmosphere is too quiet now. Why is no one talking? What is going on? ]
Concubine Xian: "..."
The girl's voice was ringing in her mind!
And this girl hasn't even opened her mouth yet!
After coming to this conclusion, Concubine Xian was stunned.
Listening to Ning Sangsang's inner thoughts, Emperor Ming Qing said in a deep voice: "Xian Fei, you poisoned the Queen. I will not let you off easily this time." His voice was full of coldness and majesty.
Xianfei listened to Emperor Mingqing's words, and came back to her senses from Ning Sangsang's inner voice. She looked at Emperor Mingqing and said in a sad voice:
"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged! I treat the Queen as my own sister and would never do anything to hurt her."
As soon as the words fell, she heard it the next second.
[This virtuous concubine really won't cry until she sees the coffin. Even now, she is still pretending. It seems necessary to give advice to the emperor and ask him to have someone beat the virtuous concubine with dozens of boards.]
When Concubine Xian heard this, her face darkened. Before she could react, Emperor Mingqing said, "Come here, take Concubine Xian to the prison and wait for her fate."
Concubine Xian's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, I am innocent..."
"Enough!" Emperor Ming Qing interrupted her coldly, looking at her solemnly, and suddenly thought of something. He asked Concubine Xian in a cold voice: "Menghuisan, where did you get it?" Menghuisan is a rare poison, and he was a little curious about where Concubine Xian got it from.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian's eyes sparkled and she said, "Your Majesty, I don't know why this dream came back. Someone must have framed me."
She knew in her heart that if she admitted it, she would surely die. She thought that if she didn't admit it, she might still be able to survive. Just as she was thinking about it, the girl's voice rang again.
[This Meng Hui San was bought by Concubine Xian at a high price from the black market. There is still some Meng Hui San hidden in Concubine Xian's room. ]
The virtuous concubine was shocked. She didn't expect that this little girl knew so much about her.
Emperor Mingqing's eyes shone, and he looked at Concubine Xian with an even colder look. He said in a cold voice: "Since you won't tell me, I will ask people to search." After that, he said to Ning Sangsang: "Ning girl, go to Concubine Xian's palace and search whether there is Meng Huisan."
Ning Sangsang: “…”
[Why does the emperor call me for everything? Does he use me as his free bodyguard? ]
Listening to Ning Sangsang's thoughts, Emperor Mingqing said, "Ning girl, after you complete this task, I will reward you handsomely."
[You are making big promises to me again. You have promised me a big reward several times. I want to see what the emperor will reward me with in the end. ]
Ning Sangsang murmured to herself, agreed, and then walked out of Chengming Palace.
Emperor Mingqing asked Chu Aotian to go with her to search the palace of Concubine Xian.
.........
The two arrived at the Yunzhang Palace where Concubine Xian lived. Chu Aotian explained his purpose and took Ning Sangsang to the palace where Concubine Xian lived. Chu Aotian waited for Ning Sangsang outside, and Ning Sangsang entered the bedroom alone.
