Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 329 Death of Lady Ning
"Concubine Yu is pregnant, what does this have to do with me?"
There was silence all around, and no one answered Concubine Yao's question.
The young eunuch outside the door was still urging her, so she had to get up and hurriedly put on a loose Manchu dress, then followed the visitor to Yongshou Palace.
In the side hall of Jingyang Palace, as Concubine Yao's sedan chair drove away, a glimpse of her skirt brushed past the dark window frame made of heavy wood and disappeared into the darkness.
Concubine Yao did not expect that the Eyin Pearl, which always looked full of energy and abundant blood, would be so useless.
First she said that she was mad at the Fourth Lady, so her pregnancy was unstable. Then she said that she had a miscarriage because she smelled the scent of pomegranate flowers on her body.
Concubine Yao knelt on the ground, wiping her tears weakly, her mind filled with the word "absurd".
She had the leverage over E'yinzhu in her hand, so there was really no need for her to take the risk of harming E'yinzhu's fetus by resorting to such cheap tricks.
"Your Majesty, please be wise, Queen. I have no children, and I have never had any conflicts with Concubine Yu in the past. Why would you want to harm her child?
Your Majesty, you have seen my character all along. I have never done such a thing. Someone is slandering me."
In order to serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber today, Concubine Yao wore simple and close-fitting clothes.
She lowered her head and knelt on the ground. Her slender body trembled slightly with the frequency of her falling tears. She looked as weak and pitiful as a magnolia flower wet with dew.
Ruyi seemed a little reluctant, "Okay, Concubine Yao, don't cry yet.
The emperor has already sent people to search the Jingyang Palace. If you are truly innocent, the emperor will certainly make the decision for you."
Listening to Ruyi's gentle comfort, Concubine Yao not only failed to feel relieved, but instead felt an inexplicable fear.
As soon as she arrived at the Yangxin Palace, someone went to the Jingyang Palace.
The movements were so quick and continuous, as if they were well prepared?
Concubine Yao vaguely felt that something was not right, but she couldn't tell why.
However, Concubine Yao believed that she was innocent and that even if the palace was searched, nothing would be found.
But before Concubine Yao could comfort herself for long, bad news came one after another.
"Oh no! Something happened in Jingyang Palace. Concubine Ning...she's dead!"
"What?" Ruyi stood up in shock, and the handkerchief in her hand slipped to the ground unconsciously.
"What is going on? Why would Concubine Ning..." The emperor was shocked and angry, and shouted.
The little palace maid who came to deliver the message was so frightened that she trembled and prostrated herself on the ground. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and answered word by word.
It turned out that the emperor sent Yu Hu to search Jingyang Palace today.
In the main hall where Concubine Yao lived, Yu Hu soon discovered spices mixed with pomegranate flowers, and interrogated some palace servants who stayed behind in the main hall.
The palace servants said that those things were presented by Concubine Ning to Concubine Yao. So Yu Hu went to the side hall to find Concubine Ning to ask for clarification.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning's reaction was very intense. Yu Hu saw that Concubine Ning's expression was not right, so he wanted to bring her to the emperor to answer questions.
But Lady Ning suddenly became like a madman and clung to the pillar of her room, refusing to leave no matter what.
Yu Hu felt something was amiss and apologized, then asked two sturdy maids to hold Concubine Ning and forcibly take her away from the side hall.
But just as Concubine Ning was dragged into the courtyard, she suddenly wailed and cried to Yu Hu, "Aunt Yu Hu, please let me go, I will tell you everything..."
Yu Hu stopped walking in confusion, Concubine Ning stood up straight, and the two maids beside her also relaxed their grip a little.
Ning Guiren's collar was covered with tears, and she said in a crying voice, "It was Concubine Yao who forced me to do this. She gave me a fragrant prescription and said it was a secret of the Yu family.
The Sumu flowers and Yanlan grass are mixed together, exposed to the sun and ground, and then covered with the scent of pomegranate.
A pregnant woman only needs to smell it for a moment, and even the most stable fetus will be separated and cause miscarriage.
Concubine Yao knew that my family was in Yuzhou, which was quite close to the Yu family, so she used my family as a threat to force me to work for her.
Afterwards, she burned the recipe in front of me so that if anything went wrong, I would be the only one to take the blame.
Now that Concubine Yu has had a miscarriage, I know that things are probably bad. But I have no evidence, and I can't use it to incriminate Concubine Yao, which would harm innocent people in the family.
I dare not ask for forgiveness from His Majesty and Concubine Yu, I just ask that my family not be implicated. I will bear all the sins alone..."
Lady Ning's words were flustered and confusing, but Yu Hu already understood about 70% of the general meaning.
She had never expected that Lady Ning would reveal such a shocking truth in public.
There are so many people talking now, it's too late to shut them up.
Concubine Ning lowered her head and sobbed for a while.
The old woman beside her seemed to have softened her heart and took out a handkerchief from her bosom, wanting to hand it to Concubine Ning so that she could wipe her tears.
The old woman's grip had just loosened a little when Concubine Ning suddenly looked up.
She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she broke free from the old woman's restraints and pulled off a seemingly ordinary tassel hairpin from her head.
Before anyone could react, Concubine Ning bit the white beads on the hairpin.
Looking at Concubine Ning's gloomy eyes that showed she was ready to die, Yu Hu's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.
When she asked someone to pry open Concubine Ning's mouth and wanted to take out the white pearl, she found that the pearl was actually made of flour and had already melted in Concubine Ning's mouth.
Concubine Ning actually committed suicide by taking poison in public.
Ruyi looked reluctant and looked at the emperor in embarrassment, "Noble Ning has always been honest. She has been in the harem for many years and has never caused trouble. I didn't expect that now...
Lady Ning knew she was doomed, so she used her life as a witness. I think her words are 50% credible. "
"She risked her life to tell you the truth, which is more than 50%! I think it should be completely credible!"
E Yinzhu is a stubborn and straightforward person. Once she has made up her mind about something, she will not consider the consequences and will not turn back until she hits a wall.
This matter involved the heir to the throne that E Yin Zhu valued the most. The death of Concubine Ning was like a fuse that ignited E Yin Zhu's anger and bloodshot eyes.
Looking at Concubine Yao at this moment, E Yinzhu did not feel pity for her, but only felt that she was hateful.
"I didn't do that. Lady Ning is slandering me..." Concubine Yao was extremely shocked. She didn't understand how she suddenly ended up in a dead end.
"Slander? Yes, you have a sinister mind. You burned the incense recipe and destroyed the evidence. You thought your crime was flawless and even found a scapegoat long ago.
But how do you explain why Concubine Ning has such a deep hatred against you that she would use her life to slander you?"
E Yinzhu laughed in anger, and every word he said was extremely aggressive.
"Someone must have instigated her. Your Majesty, it's really not me. You know my character. I have always been kind to others. How could I harm others?"
Concubine Yao didn't know how to explain, so she could only kneel down and take two steps, looking at the emperor with aggrieved eyes, hoping that the emperor could trust her.
