Chapter 199 Concubine Qi is banished to the cold palace
Jingtai's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously very scared about this matter.
After Jingtai finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.
The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy, he clenched his fists, and anger flashed in his eyes.
He has understood the truth of the matter. It was all done by Concubine Qi.
The emperor then asked, "Do you remember what the little eunuch looked like? What was his name?" His voice was full of majesty and anger.
Jingtai immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I do remember what he looked like, but I don't know which palace he came from. I just heard Concubine Qi call him Xiao Dingzi."
The emperor turned to look at Su Peisheng beside him and shouted in a serious tone: "Su Peisheng!"
"Hey, I'm here!" Su Peisheng responded quickly.
The emperor then asked, "Do you know which palace this little Dingzi belongs to?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Peisheng replied, "Your Majesty, Xiao Dingzi is a young eunuch who has just joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has been employed for less than two months."
The emperor's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "Bring Xiao Dingzi here immediately."
After receiving the order, Su Peisheng quickly sent people to capture Xiao Dingzi.
Xiao Dingzi's heart sank when he was grabbed by the arms by several eunuchs.
They walked hurriedly towards Shuiyuxuan.
Xiao Dingzi secretly guessed that his plan to deliver medicine to Concubine Qi might have been exposed.
His heart suddenly became flustered and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He was well aware that there was a great risk in delivering medicine to Concubine Qi on behalf of Guaerjia Emin, but he never expected that the matter would be exposed so quickly.
Xiao Dingzi entered the palace to become a eunuch not voluntarily, but was instructed by Guaerjia Emin. Because his mother was seriously ill and urgently needed a large sum of money for treatment, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself and enter the palace to serve Guaerjia Emin and Qi Guiren.
Xiao Dingzi was well aware of the danger and difficulty involved, but in order to save his mother's life, he had no choice.
Soon, Xiao Dingzi was taken to Suiyuxuan.
The two young eunuchs kicked Xiao Dingzi's calves hard, and his knees fell to the ground involuntarily in pain.
The emperor sat on a high throne, staring coldly at the young man in front of him, wondering how he got the packet of medicine.
The emperor's voice was cold and ruthless, as if it could penetrate a person's soul: "Tell me the truth, have you ever given a packet of medicine to Concubine Qi?"
Xiao Dingzi was so scared that he was trembling with fear. His face was as pale as paper, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his body was shaking violently, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time.
He didn't dare to raise his head to look at the emperor, so he could only lower his head and answer tremblingly: "Reply...Reply to the emperor, I really didn't...I didn't give any medicine to Concubine Qi!"
Concubine Qi stared at Xiao Dingzi, as if she wanted to eat him alive. Hearing Xiao Dingzi deny that he had given her the medicine, Concubine Qi felt a little relieved, but she still did not dare to take it lightly. As long as Xiao Dingzi refused to admit it, she might still have a chance of survival.
When the emperor saw Xiao Dingzi denying everything, he could not help but frown, a look of suspicion appeared on his face, and his tone became stern: "Xiao Dingzi, you must think carefully before answering. I will give you one more chance now. If you say even a lie, you will be dragged down and beaten to death immediately!"
The emperor's voice was full of majesty and unquestionable momentum. Xiao Dingzi shuddered all over and his heart beat faster. Hearing that he would be beaten to death, he felt unwell, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Uh... Your Majesty, I... I dare not tell lies..." Xiao Dingzi fell to the ground, his head almost hitting the ground. He was afraid that others would notice his evasive look.
The emperor was very displeased to see Xiao Dingzi being so stubborn, so he pointed at Jingtai who was standing not far away and asked, "Who...what was the name of that palace maid?"
Upon hearing this, Jingtai immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and introduced himself: "Your Majesty, my name is Jingtai."
"Oh... Jingtai, come here." The emperor waved to Jingtai, motioning her to come forward, "Come and see if this person is the one who delivered medicine to Concubine Qi?"
At this time, the two young eunuchs behind Xiao Dingzi immediately took action and forcibly bend Xiao Dingzi's head up so that he could raise his head and let Jingtai see his face clearly.
After Jingtai took a careful look, he nodded without hesitation and answered affirmatively: "Your Majesty, this person is the one who delivered medicine to Concubine Qi. I am not wrong, it is him."
Xiao Dingzi's evasive look at this time was seen clearly by everyone.
Xiao Dingzi could never have imagined that this maid named Jingtai would actually be the personal maid of Lady Qi! Moreover, she betrayed her master so ruthlessly and even pointed fingers at herself!
Xiao Dingzi's heart was filled with fear and despair. He couldn't understand why Jingtai did this, nor did he know how to defend himself.
Xiao Dingzi could no longer control his inner panic, tears welled up in his eyes, accompanied by big drops of snot.
These were all burst out of him in an instant, because the emotions that he had been suppressing all along burst out at this moment like a flood breaking through a dam.
"Your Majesty, I confess everything. I know I was wrong... I gave Concubine Qi a packet of medicine..." He sobbed, but his snot flowed into his mouth uncontrollably.
However, he could not move at all because his hands were tightly bound by two young eunuchs behind him.
In desperation, Xiao Dingzi could only swallow his snot with difficulty while continuing to explain to the emperor: "I was coerced. It has nothing to do with me."
"It was Lord Guaerjia who forced me to do this. I had no choice." After Xiao Dingzi finished speaking, the emperor's eyes became even colder. This Guaerjia Emin actually reached out to my harem. He was so bold.
The emperor turned his gaze to Concubine Qi, his eyes full of indifference and anger: "Concubine Qi, you and your father are really a nest of rats and snakes. You think this palace belongs to you, the Guarjia clan, and you even dare to murder my offspring. Ha~!" The emperor snorted coldly.
"Su Peisheng, in compliance with my order, I order the Ministry of Justice to immediately confiscate the property of the Guarjia clan and exile them to Ningguta."
The emperor's voice was cold and firm, leaving no room for doubt.
After receiving the order, Su Peisheng hurried to the Ministry of Justice to carry out the emperor's order.
The emperor continued, "Noble Lady Qi will be demoted to a concubine and banished to the cold palace. She will not be allowed to step out of the palace for the rest of her life. If Concubine An and Concubine Hui's two children cannot be saved, Concubine Qi will be buried with them."
His tone was full of disgust and determination towards Concubine Qi.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Qi collapsed to the ground, as if she had lost all her strength.
She never expected that the emperor would be so cruel to her.
She knew that their Guaerjia clan was completely finished, and she, Guaerjia Wenyuan, would be trapped in the cold palace forever, never to be able to turn over a new leaf.
