Unexpectedly, Concubine Bai turned around, pointed at the maid and said, "I know why you are wrongly accusing me."
This sentence shocked everyone. Why did Concubine Bai say this? Was she really being wronged?
But, it is true that the palace maid had her hands and feet broken. She couldn't possibly cut off her own hands and feet to slander Concubine Bai, right?
Everyone was curious, and Concubine Bai continued, "Your Majesty, this maid has been plotting something bad since she was with me. She has never been a peaceful person. Now she must be deliberately framing me."
In just a few words, things have taken another turn. I have to say that this matter is becoming more and more confusing.
"Are you telling the truth?" asked the emperor. He was now a little confused about the matter.
When Concubine Bai heard the emperor ask this, she hurriedly said, "Of course. I am the noble concubine, and she is just a palace maid. She has long been jealous of my favor. Who in the world doesn't want to be loved by the emperor? That's why she did this. Your Majesty, please believe me!"
To strike the snake while the stick is still open, Concubine Bai has been in favor for many years, so she naturally understands the emperor's temper. While explaining, she also praises the emperor subtly.
Sure enough, the emperor smiled. Seeing this, Situ Yao knew that what the palace maid said was no longer of much use to the emperor.
Helplessly, he took out something from his sleeve and said to the emperor: "Father, Concubine Bai is so eloquent and eloquent. I also have something that I want to show you."
As he said this, he walked to the emperor and handed the thing to him.
It would have been fine if the emperor hadn't looked at it, but once he did, his smiling face instantly changed: "Where can I find this?"
Situ Yao didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly said that this was something hidden in the palace of Concubine Hui, and it was just a trick of Concubine Bai before.
How could the Emperor not be furious when he learned of this? He slapped Concubine Bai in the face: "Well, how dare you?"
Concubine Bai felt something was wrong but didn't know what kind of letter had made the emperor so angry. She could only continue to argue, "How could the emperor listen to the prince's one-sided words?"
"Look for yourself." The emperor threw the paper to Concubine Bai. Concubine Bai picked it up and took a look, and was immediately shocked.
It turned out that what was written on the paper was nothing else but what Concubine Hui used to threaten Concubine Bai.
Every word clearly explained how Concubine Bai and Concubine Hui plotted to murder the late queen.
Concubine Bai didn't expect that Situ Yao actually got this thing. She felt guilty at the moment. How could this happen?
Obviously these things should have been dealt with thoroughly, so why were they still obtained by the prince? And now, they have become the most powerful evidence to overwhelm him.
If it was just that one palace maid, Concubine Bai could easily make the emperor believe her. After all, there was an example of the Miao people before, so it was not impossible for her to bite back.
However, Concubine Bai forgot that if she wanted to take someone's life, how could others bite back at the prince?
"Mother, this..." Situ Zhao looked at the contents of the letter and looked bewildered. How could this be discovered? What should he do now?
Perhaps, killing someone is easy, and denying it is also easy, but as a mother, I always can't bear to see my child suffer.
Seeing Situ Zhao's expression, Concubine Bai suddenly lost her fear and said directly, "Yes, it is true that Concubine Hui and I conspired to murder the late queen. At the beginning, I was obsessed with the late queen and jealous of her. I thought that if she were not there, I would be the favored one, so I had the murderous intention. All of this was done by Concubine Hui and me alone, and has nothing to do with others."
What she wants to do now is to protect her son. Only if Situ Zhao has nothing to do with these things will his future not be delayed by her.
When the emperor heard Concubine Bai say this, he felt very uncomfortable and drowsy, as if something was shouting in his mind.
"you……"
As soon as he uttered a word, the emperor fainted.
"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician." Situ Yao was extremely nervous and shouted while supporting the emperor who was about to fall into a coma.
This is his father. He never thought that this matter would make his father so angry that he even fainted from anger.
The imperial physician arrived and took the emperor's pulse.
Someone asked what to do with Concubine Bai?
Situ Yao glanced at Concubine Bai who was standing beside him and said coldly, "Imprison her in the Sky Prison."
Concubine Bai said nothing and was about to leave with the guards when she heard Situ Yao continue, "Send Situ Zhao back to the mansion and put him under house arrest. He is not allowed to leave the mansion without permission."
This is equivalent to imprisoning Situ Zhao in disguise. Concubine Bai wants to take all the responsibility herself, so how could she be willing to see this result?
"Why do you put Zhao'er under house arrest?" Concubine Bai stopped immediately and stared at Situ Yao fiercely.
To her, Situ Yao should have died early like his mother. She had tried to attack him time and time again, but he had managed to escape. She didn't know if he was just lucky.
Situ Yao glanced at Concubine Bai and ignored her. He just said to the people who were holding Concubine Bai, "Why don't you take her away quickly?"
Actually ignoring her existence? Concubine Bai shouted, "Situ Yao, what qualifications do you have?" while being escorted away by the guards.
At this time, Situ Zhao had no intention of resisting. His father was unconscious and his mother was thrown into the Sky Prison. All this happened too quickly and he had no time to react.
By the time he reacted, the person was already in his house.
Slowly opening his eyes, Situ Yao hurried forward and carefully helped him up: "Father, are you awake? Are you okay?"
"What's wrong with me?" The emperor was still a little confused. He only remembered that he was just trying the case of Concubine Hui's death.
It seems that the death of the former queen is also involved. How dare Concubine Bai...
At this time, the emperor slowly remembered what happened before he fell into a coma.
"Where is Concubine Bai?" asked the emperor.
Situ Yao said that because the emperor suddenly fell into a coma, he took the initiative to throw Concubine Bai into the Sky Prison and told everyone about Situ Zhao's house arrest.
Who knew that the emperor frowned and said, "Noble Concubine Bai is my woman after all. How can she endure being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?"
What does this mean? Situ Yao remained silent. He didn't want to hear what the emperor said next. He felt that it was not what he wanted to hear.
Seeing Situ Yao's silence, the emperor didn't care about his expression and said directly: "Come here, banish Concubine Bai to the cold palace. As for Situ Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to confine him."
Before confessing her guilt, Concubine Bai emphasized that this matter had nothing to do with anyone else, so the emperor felt that there was no need to punish Situ Zhao. This was because he favored Situ Zhao and made this decision.
