Story of the Forbidden Palace - C46
I stared into Xuanyuan Shuiliang’s eyes, trying to see clearly what he was thinking. Xuan Yuan was just looking back at me as usual, neither angry nor impatient.
Just like that, their gazes met, as if there was no one around. Suddenly, he revealed a smile, and he seemed to have the same thought in his heart.
“Your majesty!” The Noble Consort Ling was jealous and said angrily, “Something big has happened, so the Emperor must uphold justice for the Zhou and Sun Ronghua.”
“Wanqing, if not, you!” Xuan Yuan threw the ball to me. Was it really “never to be asked”? I smiled gratefully: “Sister doesn’t agree with Sister Noble Consort Ling’s words. “Why would Madame Zhou listen to me and put her own child in danger?”
He took a step forward and met Noble Consort Ling’s fierce gaze. He said fearlessly, “Since this matter involves Big Sister Ya Bei, how about we request the Emperor to pass on his big sister and confront you in person?”
Xuanyuan Wentian slightly nodded his head and a clever young eunuch rushed out.
Noble Consort Ling was not surprised, as she seemed to have already expected that I would invite Ya Bei to a confrontation. Presumably, she had already planned this beforehand. Ya Bei, oh Ya Bei, do you really want to kill me?
The group moved from the inner chamber to the Lateral Temple waiting area, with Yun Long following along. Serving Maid served fragrant tea to Xuanyuan. Noble Consort Ling sat down together but had no mood to taste the tea. I stood silently to one side, casting a dark glance at Cool Fat.
Ning Zhi understood my meaning tacitly, and took advantage of the moment when everyone wasn’t paying attention to leave quietly.
Not long later, Ya Bei arrived with a decree, but she did not expect Tian Er to come along as well. She was unhappy and worried. She was afraid that Tian Er would know what kind of person her Big Sister Ya Bei was.
Ya Bei’s complexion was obviously weak. Even so, the sickly look could not cover her appearance. She became more delicate and weak to the point that there was no bone in her body. Her lithe body was graceful and had a unique charm to it.
After bidding farewell to the Emperor, the Noble Consort Ling went straight to the point, “Sun Ronghua, do the Zhou family’s Coarseness Maidservant have anything to ask for help from your Shang Zhu Pavilion?” Ya Bei cast a sidelong glance at me, and then nodded: “It is indeed true.”
“In that case, you might as well explain it to the Emperor in detail.” The look of anticipation in the Noble Consort Ling became more and more unconcealable, I just smiled without saying a word. Her eyes inadvertently swept across Yun Long, and she suddenly became anxious.
Does Yun Long believe in my innocence? Not giving me time to think, I heard Ya Bei slowly say, “Coarseness Maidservant came to report, saying that her master’s fate is worrisome, and that it was Ji Shuyuan who wanted to kill him to keep his mouth shut. It was because Mrs. Zhou was her accomplice in setting me up for an abortion. ”
“Cousin, what are you talking about?” Tian Er couldn’t help but exclaim loudly, “How could Sister Shi poison your Prince? “No, never.”
Noble Consort Ling took a step forward and tugged at the panicking Tian Er. “Shut up, you don’t have the right to speak here.” Tian Er almost fell to the ground but she had to take two steps back to stand firm on her feet. Her eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed in a low voice, “I won’t, I won’t …”
Noble Consort Ling who had lost her patience did not have the time to care about Tian Er. She turned around and said, “The truth is, you are instructing the Zhou Family to use the young and useless Fourth Prince to frame Sun Ronghua’s Prince. Now that the whole thing is clear, you have to plead guilty. ”
I didn’t answer her, but went around her and stood by Ya Bei’s side: “Do you also think that I was the one who did it?” Sun Ya Bei didn’t look at me, and said without any emotion: “It’s hard to fathom the human heart, Ya Bei is stupid and doesn’t understand how to differentiate.”
However, she could clearly hear the guilt in her heart. I sneered, only to see that Ning Zhi had already quietly returned to her original position. In his heart, he was immediately emboldened. If someone didn’t want to offend him, then he wouldn’t. If that was the case, then he could only protect himself.
“Your Majesty, please allow this concubine to submit an item.” Xuanyuan Po silently agreed. The congealed fat quickly caused the Xiao Chuzi to present the red lacquer plate. I stepped forward and unwrapped the black cloth from the tray in front of Xuanyuan.
“Ya Bei took a step back, but immediately calmed down. Your Majesty, please look. These shoes were worn by Big Sister Ya Bei when she rolled down the stairs. ”
“Why is the bottom of this flower plate empty?” That was the crux of the problem. When Big Sister Ya Bei was born that day, when chenqie saw this pair of shoes on Internal Hall, she felt that something was amiss. It’s a perfect flower pot, how could it be missing a big piece. ”
“Back then, my grief was too great that I did not think about it too much. When I recalled it later on, I understood the reason.” I indifferently swept a glance at the Xiao Chuzi, and he immediately kneeled and kowtowed. “This servant has always been on good terms with Shang Zhu Pavilion’s Little Man, this servant was coincidentally there when Little Man abandoned this shoe.”
“Ya Bei, what do you think?” Ya Bei could not help but tremble when she heard the tone of Xuanyuan Feng’s voice.
The reality is unquestionable, I shouted sternly, “There is something wrong with Sun Ronghua’s shoes, even without Fourth Prince, she would still roll down the stairs or fall somewhere else!”
