Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Zhen Huan
Chapter 568 The Emperor's Test of Concubine Duan
"No...no."
Kang Changzai was so frightened that he shook his hands repeatedly:
"I have not been instructed by anyone. I am just discussing the matter at hand. I have no intention of slandering Concubine Xi."
As she spoke, she glanced at Concubine Duan, hoping that she could say something for her, but Concubine Duan didn't even look at her.
"Just talking about the matter?"
Zhen Huan walked up to Kang Changzai and said in a calm but oppressive voice:
"Even I don't know why Jinxi gave this 'willow leaf and heart' purse to Eunuch Su, but you, Kang Chang, already know it?"
"The Willow Leaves Forming a Heart" is naturally used to express love. I am not a fool, so I know that."
"very good!"
An unfathomable expression flashed across Zhen Huan's face:
"It's a good thing that Concubine Kang has her own ideas. Otherwise, she wouldn't always be concerned about who the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince."
"but……"
Zhen Huan paused, then turned to look at the emperor and saluted:
"I have always been pragmatic in my work, and this matter concerns Eunuch Su, so I have to ask for clarification, just like Concubine Kang is acting so arbitrarily."
The emperor didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement with Zhen Huan's statement.
"Jinxi, it's a good thing that you know how to repay a favor, but why did you give it to Eunuch Su even though you knew what the "Willow Leaf Heart" represented?"
"It was because Eunuch Su was afraid that I would feel burdened, so he casually said that I could just give him something I had on me as a token of my gratitude."
"I only had this purse with me at the time, so I didn't think much about it and gave it to Eunuch Su."
"Who knew that this would cause such a big disaster for the queen."
"Is it really so if you say so?"
Kang Changzai glanced at the emperor and continued to challenge Jin Xi:
"Who knows if you deliberately made up such an excuse to deceive the emperor in order to escape punishment?"
"Mrs. Kang, the emperor is wise and powerful. How can anyone deceive him?"
Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Kang and said righteously.
Kang Chang then realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained:
"That's not what I meant. I'm just telling the truth."
"Even if Cui Jinxi is someone close to you, Concubine Xi, you can't just say whatever she wants."
"Unless she has any witnesses who can prove that what she said is true, I will not accept it."
When Su Peisheng heard Kang Changzai say this, he sneered in his heart, but he still said to Kang Changzai respectfully:
"Aunt Jinxi said the truth, and I can testify to it."
Kang Changzai raised his eyes and looked at him:
"Eunuch Su, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you are the person involved and are not suitable to be a witness."
At this time, Concubine Duan, who had been keeping her head down and not speaking, looked at the emperor and said, with an expression of wanting to uphold justice:
"Your Majesty, although Concubine Kang's words were inappropriate, what she said was fair."
"If there is a witness who can prove that what Aunt Jingxi said is true, then this matter is just Aunt Jingxi's way of repaying a favor and unintentionally doing something that violates the palace rules, which is excusable."
"If..." Concubine Duan didn't finish her words and started coughing again.
At this time, Kang Changzai, who was inspired by Concubine Duan and wanted to show off in front of Concubine Duan, followed Concubine Duan's words and said:
"If there is no witness, then Cui Jinxi deliberately lied to deceive the emperor in order to cover up her crime of causing cholera in the harem!"
"Even Concubine Xi cannot escape punishment!"
"After all, no one knows whether the master and servant are trying to please Eunuch Su for their own selfish reasons?"
The emperor did not say anything, but observed the expressions of several people imperceptibly.
Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi with a worried look and asked:
"Jinxi, think carefully. Apart from Eunuch Su, do you have any other witnesses?"
Jin Xi shook her head:
"At that time, there were only me and Eunuch Su, and no one else was around. But what I said was true... Your Majesty, please believe what I said."
Having said that, Jinxi bowed deeply to the emperor.
When Zhen Huan saw Su Peisheng's calm expression, she knew that things would not develop in a bad direction.
Besides, if the emperor really wanted to punish Su Peisheng, he would have done so when Su Peisheng brought up the matter, and would not have waited until now.
When she brought the princesses and princes to the Yangxin Palace just now, the emperor did not mention this matter at all, which shows that the emperor did not care about it.
However, Concubine Duan brought it up again, which made the Emperor want to test the waters.
In this case, Zhen Huan had no choice but to pretend to be ignorant, kneel down, and act with the emperor.
Seeing Zhen Huan eager to admit her mistake to the Emperor, Kang Changzai became more confident:
"Just now, Concubine Xi also said that you always seek truth from facts. Now Cui Jinxi can't find any witnesses. How can you convince people with your empty words?"
The emperor glanced at her impatiently, then looked at Concubine Duan and asked:
"Concubine Duan, you discovered this matter. How do you think I should deal with it?"
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Duan coughed again to buy herself some time to think:
"Your Majesty, if you look at it in a big way, this matter concerns the harem and the previous dynasty. But if you look at it in a small way, it's just that Jinxi was not paying attention and violated the palace rules..."
"In my opinion, Imperial Concubine Xi is completely unaware of this. I hope Your Majesty will be lenient with Jinxi and not vent your anger on Imperial Concubine Xi."
The emperor nodded thoughtfully to Concubine Duan, then looked at Concubine Kang and asked:
"Kang Changzai, do you still insist on your statement?"
"You believe that Concubine Xi deliberately caused chaos in the harem and deliberately allowed the palace maids to get close to Su Peisheng in order to seek the position of crown prince?"
Concubine Duan noticed something unusual in the emperor's words and quickly gave a look to Concubine Kang.
But Kang Changzai was anxious to get the emperor to punish Zhen Huan, and did not notice the secret signal from Concubine Duan:
"Your Majesty, it's not that I have to think so, it's just the fact that I have to think so."
The emperor gave her a fierce look:
"If I say that Su Peisheng had already told me all of this before you came, Concubine Kang, do you also want me to find a witness to confirm it?"
Kang Chang was stunned for a moment in disbelief, then he lay on the ground and stammered:
"I...I dare not.
Concubine Duan also stood there in a daze. Could it be that the Emperor knew about this all along?
Then why did he listen to me so much?
Test?
No trust?
As she thought this, Concubine Duan's expression became more and more embarrassed.
The emperor glanced at her quickly, then stood up and looked at Concubine Kang:
"Don't you dare?"
"I see there is nothing you dare not do!"
"You are just a little concubine. Who gave you the courage to slander Concubine Xi so brazenly?"
