After Hua Fei was reborn, she became the white moonlight of Pangju

Chapter 74: I guarantee it with my own head

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhen Huan quickly stood up and knelt beside Shen Meizhuang.

"Your Majesty, there must be something fishy going on here! I guarantee with my life that Sister Mei will never do such a thing!"

The emperor's face grew darker.

"It was Lady Shen herself who said she was guilty just now. Everyone here heard it, including you!"

Hua Fei also knelt down at this time, "Your Majesty, I also think that Shen Guiren would not do such a thing."

Seeing that Concubine Hua also knelt, An Lingrong, who was standing aside, also walked out and knelt silently behind her under the gazes of the concubines.

The emperor was already angry. When he turned around and saw An Lingrong kneeling down, he threw the Buddhist beads in his hand at An Lingrong, "You're kneeling too?!"

An Lingrong was hit on the face and felt a burning pain on her face. She kowtowed to the ground in panic.

Su Peisheng hurried over and picked up the emperor's Buddhist beads from the ground.

The whole place was silent. Everyone was so nervous that they held their breath, fearing that if they breathed heavily, they would be implicated if the emperor got angry.

"Hua Fei, you still have the nerve to plead for Shen Guiren?" The Emperor walked to Hua Fei, looked down at her, and asked the eunuch to show Hua Fei the prescription just now. "This is the prescription for the so-called conditioning medicine you prescribed for Shen Guiren, right?"

Hua Fei narrowed her eyes slightly and took a closer look, "Your Majesty is too far away, I can't see clearly."

"Take it and show it to Concubine Hua!" The young eunuch handed the prescription to Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei took it, looked at it carefully, and nodded slowly, "Yes!"

The emperor raised his head and smiled, "Hua Fei, Hua Fei! I thought you had changed, but it turns out you were pretending to obey but secretly disobeying me!"

He turned around and shouted, "Doctor, take a look at this prescription!"

The imperial physician bowed and replied "yes", then walked to Concubine Hua and respectfully took the prescription from her hand.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the contraceptive soup!"

"Did you hear that? Contraceptive soup!" the emperor shouted, "You are usually close to Concubine Shen. Are you involved in the murder of the Queen Mother?"

The emperor's rebuke frightened everyone present and they all knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong were also trembling with fear at the emperor's angry rebuke. Only Concubine Hua stood calmly, thinking carefully about the whole process of the matter.

The so-called prescription from Doctor Chen of Qinghai that she got was fake! Concubine Hua and Doctor Chen had almost no friendship, not to mention his handwriting. But because Doctor Chen and her brother Nian Gengyao were old friends, Concubine Hua believed the contents of the letter without a doubt. In addition, she was afraid that Concubine Shen would be anxious, so she rushed to Cunjutang as soon as she got the prescription.

It all made sense.

Both she and Concubine Shen fell into the trap.

This plan was very clever, and it could be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only got rid of the favored Concubine Shen, but also got rid of her, the most favored person in the six palaces.

Who exactly wants to harm Concubine Shen and her Concubine Hua?

After a quick thought, Hua Fei knew who it was.

"I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?" The emperor questioned Concubine Hua loudly.

Hua Fei was not in a hurry. She knew that the emperor was acting for everyone to see. The news of her brother Nian Gengyao's victory would continue to come in. The emperor would not do anything to her, but Concubine Shen was in danger.

She must protect Concubine Shen to increase her bargaining chips in the future palace fight between Zhen Huan and the Queen Mother!

Hua Fei knelt and saluted the emperor respectfully, "Your Majesty, the evidence is there, and you can easily find a pretext to accuse me. But doesn't Your Majesty find it strange? Why is Concubine Shen so stupid? Why is this concubine so stupid?"

Hua Fei's words made the emperor frown.

"What do you mean?"

Concubine Hua curled her lips slightly, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has always said that Concubine Shen is thoughtful and careful. How could such a cautious and careful person let people find that dirty thing so easily? Logically speaking, with Concubine Shen's style of doing things, she must have hidden it very well. Even if she didn't hide it well, after hearing the news that you were going to search the palace, with her cautious personality, she should have hidden the dirty thing so that no one could find it."

When the emperor heard what Concubine Hua said, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

His face, which had turned blue due to anger, became slightly better. "Keep talking. I'll see how you come up with something new."

His mouth was hard, but his tone was much softer.

Hua Fei turned around and glanced at the Queen and Qi Fei, and continued, "Your Majesty, I have served you for so many years. Do you think I am smart or stupid?"

When the emperor was asked this by Concubine Hua, he was unable to answer for a moment.

Hua Fei was smart. Over the years, even the eunuchs and maids who cleaned the palace knew that he favored Hua Fei mostly because of Nian Gengyao's contribution. But Hua Fei took his favor seriously.

Although Concubine Hua was stupid, she always found a way to control the concubines and made them obey her. She was quite capable.

Hua Fei saw through the emperor's thoughts and continued, "If I want to harm someone, I will definitely do it cleanly! I will never be stupid enough to let others catch me. Queen, is that right?"

The Queen was kneeling with her head bowed, and was suddenly called by Concubine Hua. She was a little surprised, and replied with a gentle smile: "How can I know what Concubine Hua is thinking and doing?"

Hua Fei also smiled. She looked at the emperor and said, "I have finished what I want to say. Please make your decision, Your Majesty."

The emperor's anger had almost subsided at this moment.

"Does Concubine Hua mean that someone deliberately framed you and Concubine Shen?"

Hua Fei kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The emperor paced a few steps, sat back in his chair, and looked at Hua Fei meaningfully, "How can I trust you?"

Hua Fei said: "I will find witnesses to prove that I and Shen Guiren are innocent."

Lady Shen seemed to have thought of something and said actively: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Liu can testify for me! He did prescribe medicine for me to regulate my body. However, this prescription is not the one you see now!"

The emperor then asked the guard to go to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Liu, and the guard came back soon.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Liu's mother is seriously ill and has left the capital."

The emperor's face darkened again.

"Doctor Liu is not here, but you should keep the prescription he wrote, right?" Shen Meizhuang was awakened by this and begged the emperor to let Caiyue get Doctor Liu's prescription.

The emperor approved.

Caiyue hurriedly went to get the prescription and presented it to the emperor. The emperor waved his hand and asked the accompanying imperial physician to take the prescription.

After the imperial physician read the prescription, his face changed and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this is the prescription for the contraceptive soup! Lady Shen is so bold!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Doctor Zhang, are you sure?"

Doctor Zhang kowtowed and said, "I guarantee with my life that this is the contraceptive soup!"
