The reborn princess is the concubine

Chapter 82 Backhand ([-])

Su Yunran sat in his seat well-behaved, watching the commotion in front of him peacefully.

Such a wonderful show in the middle of the night, isn't it just a fun to watch!How nice!

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Concubine De, then at the Empress, and finally landed on Lian Bi, the maid. Su Yunran shook her head in her heart, but she didn't know who was instigating this play?

Now that everyone has arrived, Ye Muwei continued to interrogate, with a flat voice, "Lian Bi, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true, slaves dare not lie." Lian Bi said eagerly.

Tapping the wooden table with her fingertips, Ye Muwei said slowly, "How do you know that today is the fifth day of the New Year's Eve? How do you know that the water falls in the middle of the night during the New Year's Eve?"

"Servant, servant can guess at will." Lian Bi trembled and said in a low voice.

Concubine Liang sneered, "Dare to burn paper if you guess casually, aren't you afraid that Miss Nianqing will come to you?"

After saying this, Lian Bi trembled even harder.

"Your Majesty, according to my concubine, this lowly servant girl is obviously lying." Concubine Liang stood up and said to Ye Muwei, "Besides, if you really appreciate Miss Nianqing, why burn the paper in the middle of the night? Doubt, even if you are a little careless, you will be suspected of being an assassin and executed on the spot."

"Concubine Liang is right." Su Yunran agreed, "I also feel that Lian Bi is very suspicious."

With a little resignation in his eyes, Su Yunran glanced at Su Yunran, but Su Yunran smiled and winked at her——let's make this play more exciting, otherwise it's not worth it, it's the middle of the night.

Ye Muwei sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he still ordered lightly, "Come on, go to Xinfang Palace and see if you can find anything suspicious."

The guards went down immediately.

The Compassionate Ning Palace became quiet again, even the sound of breathing was almost inaudible.

Turning the lid of the cup, Ye Mu slightly sipped the tea, and the slight bumping sound of putting it back on the table attracted everyone's attention, "Lian Bi, do you have anything else to explain?"

"Servant, servant..." Lian Bi lay on the ground, speechless.

"If you speak the truth, you will be safe and sound; if it is found to be false, this crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished by everyone." Ye Muwei said unhurriedly. Solve it quickly and take Su Yunran back to sleep.

"Your Majesty, be merciful." Lian Bi raised her head, tears and snot all over her face, she was very embarrassed, but she couldn't care less, "The servant said, the servant said everything."

As soon as these words came out, Su Yunran and Concubine Liang realized that Concubine De's shoulders had collapsed.

Your Majesty, the Empress showed a smile without a trace, Concubine De, how dare you put your hand into the Fengmian Hall, causing Nianqing sisters to cause trouble, so that I am now under confinement, and I have lost all the face of the Nian family. I will let you go!No one would have guessed that Bengong didn't intend to frame Concubine Yun Gui at all. Your Majesty dotes on her so much. Such frame-up is nothing but painless. To you, this is the fatal blow.

Concubine De, don't you think that your personal maid will betray you and make you never stand up.

The queen was very proud, although Nianxi's suicide brought her a lot of trouble, which was beyond her expectation.But once today is over, her reputation will be restored, and Concubine De will be finished, and even the First Prince will have no chance of enthroning.

Right in the middle, Lian Bi was about to tell everything.

"Your Majesty, the servant did lie just now. I killed Miss Nianqing." Lian Bi said, "The servant deceived Nian Qing to the side of the lotus pond under the orders of the concubine De, pushed her to drown and drowned."

"Impossible, why would Sister Defei let you do this!" Concubine Liang said, her face full of disbelief, "Sister Defei doesn't know Miss Nianqing at all."

Concubine De got up, blessed herself, with a calm expression, "Return to Your Majesty, this is a false accusation, the concubine doesn't even know Miss Nianqing, why did she send Lian Bi to kill her?"

"Shut up." Ye Mu gave Concubine De and Concubine Liang a cold look, "Let Lian Bi finish talking. If you interrupt again, get the hell out of here."

Concubine Liang and Concubine De dared not say anything at once.

"Lian Bi, why did Concubine De kill Nian Qing?" Ye Muwei asked.

"Actually, Concubine De concubine secretly contacted sisters Nianqing through her servants, asking them to cause trouble for Concubine Yun Gui." Perhaps knowing that she was doomed, Lian Bi calmed down a little now, "The spring peaches in Fengmian Hall belonged to Concubine Defei Concubine De concubine heard that sister Nianqing was punished by concubine Yun Gui and was reprimanded by her majesty. Concubine De was afraid that sister Nianqing would tell her, so she asked her servant to contact Chuntao and call both Miss Nianqing and Miss Nianxi When I went to the lotus pond, it was also to frame Yun Guifei. But later, only Miss Nianqing came. At that time, Miss Nianqing was sick, and she was pushed into the lotus pond by the servants without any resistance and drowned."

It was only then that the concubines understood why the Nianqing sisters troubled Concubine Yun Gui, it turned out that Concubine De was behind the instigation.I really didn't expect that Concubine De actually hid it so deeply, she really didn't notice it normally, she was too scheming.

"Bring Chuntao." Ye Muwei said that he would not listen to what the family said.

Su Yunran applauded in his heart, this play is really wonderful, completely beyond expectations.Proper long experience.Now, it is completely impossible to confirm whether this is the Queen's backhand.

Ye Muwei was also puzzled, glanced at the queen from the corner of her eye, and found that her expression hadn't changed at all, and she couldn't see what she was thinking.

The guard quickly came over with Chuntao and knelt beside Lian Bi.

Chuntao saluted tremblingly, and stammered, "See, see, see Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Empress..."

"Chuntao, do you know anyone around you?" Ye Mu pointed at Lian Bi slightly.

"I know you." Chuntao took a look, then lowered her head immediately, very timidly, "It's the personal maid of Empress Defei, Lian Bi."

"Okay, Chuntao, Lian Bi said that you belong to Concubine De, right?" Ye Muwei asked.

"Yes, the maidservants are placed in the Fengmian Palace by the Concubine De." Chuntao whispered.

Ye Mu nodded slightly, "Where were you the night Nianqing fell into the water? Have you seen Nianqing?"

"My servant is resting in the room, and I haven't seen Miss Nianqing." Chuntao showed a little doubt on her face.

"Lian Bi, how do you explain?" Ye Muwei looked at Lian Bi.

"Your Majesty, this servant did not lie, really not." Lian Bi turned pale in shock, and looked at Chuntao, "Chuntao, why didn't you admit it? You were the one who informed Nianqing and Nianxi to come to the lotus pond that night. Why? deny?"

Chuntao's face also turned pale, "No, the servant did not. The servant stayed in the room to rest that night and never went out at all."

Lian Bi and Chun Tao disagreed, accusing each other of lying.However, no one can produce evidence that the other party is lying.

"Shut up." Ye Muwei felt a headache from hearing this, and patted the table heavily.

It was quiet all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty." Su Yunran felt pain when he heard it, stood up, and was about to walk over.

Ye Mu waved his hand slightly, "I'm fine."

Su Yunran stood for a while, suppressed the impulse, and sat down.

At this moment, most people are already inclined towards Chuntao lying. After all, Lian Bi has already admitted that she killed Nianqing, so it is meaningless to lie any more. It is very likely that she is telling the truth, and Chuntao lied to protect herself, so all of this is irrelevant. Concubine De ordered Lian Bi to do it.

His eyes could not help falling on Concubine De, and found that her face was expressionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Not long after, the guard who went to search for Xinfang Palace came back with a white silk in his hand.

"What did you find?" Ye Mu asked slightly.

"Return to Your Majesty, I waited in Lian Bi's room and found a golden hairpin that did not belong to Lian Bi." The guard held the white silk and said loudly.

Ye Muwei motioned Quan Defu to bring up the white silk, and when he opened it, he found that it was a very delicate hollowed-out gold hairpin inlaid with jade, which was very valuable and not something Lian Bi could get.

"Hey, isn't this the hairpin I gave Nianqing?" The queen glanced at it and said in surprise.

"Queen, are you sure?" Ye Mu turned his head slightly and said in a deep voice.

The queen waved, and the maid behind her said a few words, and then said, "It's the hairpin I gave to Nianqing, and there is another one that I gave to Nianxi, and Nianxi's is in the jewelry box. It’s gone, and I asked the maids to look for it.”

"It was worn by Miss Qing when Yenian came, and it fell off when she was pushed down." Lian Bi explained, "The servant was greedy for a while, so he picked it up and hid it."

Things have progressed to this point, it seems that everything is understood, Ye Muwei put down the golden hairpin, "Concubine De, do you have anything to explain?"

Concubine De came out unhurriedly and knelt down, "The concubine did not order Lian Bi to kill Miss Nianqing. The concubine was slandered, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly." She knew that this was a trap.The people behind the scenes set up a perfect situation, and her personal maid testified. There are all witnesses and material evidence, and the argument is indisputable.

Killing Prime Minister Nian's concubine daughter, in order to appease Prime Minister Nian's anger, she is finished.

It’s over.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say." Concubine Liang came out, blessed.

"Let's talk." Ye Muwei raised his eyes and glanced at her, the struggle in the harem is really not as deep as the water in the court.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that there is something wrong with it. If it was really Sister Defei who ordered Lian Bi to do it, why did Miss Nianxi commit suicide as Empress Empress? That night Chuntao went to see Nianqing and Nianxi. If she didn't return overnight, it's impossible for Nianxi not to know that Concubine De did it, so why did she write about Empress Empress?" Concubine Liang said something she didn't understand.

"I'm afraid only the dead Nianxi will know about this." Su Yunran raised the corners of his lips, "Or, it may be that Nianxi resented the empress, so it may not be written on purpose!"

"Concubine Yun!" The queen mother who had been pretending that she didn't exist finally spoke up, "How can you arrange things randomly!"

"The concubine knows it's wrong." Su Yunran admitted it straightforwardly.

"Your Majesty, let Rong Chenqie say something." The queen spoke, and after getting Ye Muwei's permission, she continued, "Nian Xi's suicide note stated that I killed Nian Qing, but now that Lian Bi admits that she killed Nian Qing, then It has nothing to do with me. As for why Nianxi wrote it like that, as Concubine Yun Gui said, only Nianxi knows." And she didn't kill Nianqing at all, Nianxi framed her.
