Chapter 86: Angrily Hitting Cousin
Zheng Baolin looked up at Jiang Yingli in surprise. She never thought that Jiang Yingli would speak for her.
However, she was destined to disappoint Jiang Yingli because she was the one who pushed that person.
Xu Nianya's eyes widened, "What does Empress Chongyi mean by this?!"
Jiang Yingli was calm and composed, saying calmly, "Everyone knows that Zheng Baolin is an excellent embroiderer. She has embroidered things like this for many people. Besides, it would be easy to imitate her embroidery method and her little habit of closing the stitches for a small purse the size of a palm. Who knows if the one in your hand is real or fake?"
After saying this, Jiang Yingli's eyes fell on Xu Nianya with contempt and disgust, and she asked harshly:
"How do you know you're not just making this up out of thin air?"
When Jiang Yingli said this, all the concubines understood what she meant.
The concubine who had accepted Xu Nian Ya's benefits before now had her eyes brightened.
There is a chance to redeem oneself for one's crime!
Concubine Wang stepped out first and said, "Yes, what Empress Chongyi said is correct. I have a purse like this in my palace. It was given to me by Zheng Baolin."
As soon as these words were spoken, voices of agreement followed one after another.
"Yes, I have one too, but I don't wear it often these days."
"I have concubines too..."
Jiang Yingli sat in her seat, listening to everyone agreeing with her, her eyes leisurely fixed on Xu Nianya.
Xu Nianya listened to the words that excused Zheng Baolin, and felt a sense of suffocation and injustice stuck in her chest, making her unable to breathe.
She breathed heavily and rapidly, her voice becoming much louder:
"Just because Your Majesty is on good terms with Zheng Baolin, does that mean she has to defend her like this? I've only just entered the palace, why would I fabricate something to frame Zheng Baolin?"
Seeing Xu Nianya's breathless look, Jiang Yingli felt even more cheerful and refuted it with a simple and decisive retort:
"Then I'm asking you this directly: you just entered the palace, what reason did Zheng Baolin have to push you into this?"
Xu Nianya was stunned, feeling humiliated.
It is obvious that Concubine Song has ordered people to obtain evidence and will soon punish Zheng Baolin. Maybe she can still play the victim in front of His Majesty to gain sympathy.
But Jiang Yingli messed it up!
Xu Nianya was so angry that she was shaking all over. She roared, "Of course she has a reason! I have just entered the palace and I have been favored, but I have been in the palace for so long and still have no favor. So Zheng Baolin is jealous of me!"
Xu Nianya knew that Su Qingrong and Jiang Yingli had always been at odds, so she immediately grabbed Su Qingrong's clothes and continued to win her support:
"Empress Zhaoyi! You are the most fair person here. Empress Chongyi, in order to protect her shortcomings, has completely disregarded my grievances. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Song rolled her eyes at Xu Nian Ya.
Okay, Su Qingrong is the most fair, so why should she care?
Unexpectedly, Su Qingrong, who had just spoken up for Xu Nianya, changed her attitude and pushed her away.
Su Qingrong stared at Xu Nianya, trying her best to suppress the murderous intent in her eyes.
What Xu Nianya said just now, that she would be favored as soon as she entered the palace, hurt her deeply.
Not to mention that she was under house arrest as soon as she entered the palace, even if the house arrest was lifted, she would have no chance of gaining the favor of His Majesty.
Xu Nianya, that bitch! She actually used this to show off again and again!
Xu Nianya was pushed away by Su Qingrong, looking confused, not knowing what had happened.
However, she lost Su Qingrong's support and suddenly became weak and powerless.
Xu Nianya had no place to vent her grievances, and she pushed Zheng Lan'er like a madman.
"Evil woman! Do you dare to swear on the lives of your entire family that you have never harmed me?"
Jiang Yingli slapped the small table beside the armrest and said, "What is there to swear to?"
"Xu Baolin, you're a repeat offender for framing someone for pushing you into the water. When I was young, you pushed me into the pond and even lied to my mother, saying I tried to push you but you accidentally fell in. This caused me to be punished, and now you're doing it again."
"Unfortunately, I didn't mind it back then because you and I are cousins. But today, I can no longer tolerate you spreading rumors and deceiving all of you sisters!"
The sound of Jiang Yingli slamming the table and shouting scared Xu Nianya so much that she trembled and froze immediately, staring at Jiang Yingli like a wooden chicken.
Zheng Lan'er, who was about to speak, stopped and looked at Jiang Yingli in surprise.
The others were also shocked when they heard Jiang Yingli say this.
It turns out that there is such a thing between these cousins.
Since this story came from Empress Chongyi's mouth, it is very credible.
Everyone looked at Xu Nianya with disgust for a moment and completely stood on Jiang Yingli's side.
No wonder Empress Chongyi disliked Xu Baolin. It turned out that Xu Baolin had been bad since he was a child.
It is unforgivable that he pushed Empress Chongyi into the water.
Song Wanyan was also shocked and confused. Was she pushed into the water by her cousin? And was she punished?
It’s easy to tell when children are lying. Isn’t it true that adults’ ability to solve cases is too poor?
And people who fall into the water will be punished?
Isn’t that too biased?!
Chen Zhuxin looked at Xu Nianya with a complicated expression.
Sure enough, when she saw Xu Nianya for the first time, she felt that this person was not a good person.
Her intuition was right.
But, His Majesty's purpose in bringing this kind of person into the palace is... to bring her before him to settle all old and new grudges?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhu's heart shuddered, and he looked at Xu Nian Ya as if he was looking at a dead person.
Seeing that public opinion was leaning towards one side, Xu Nianya was trembling all over. The frustration of having no place to vent her grievances was about to overwhelm her.
Moreover, she didn't understand why Jiang Yingli was like this today?
How dare she talk to herself like that?
When hadn't she suppressed her before?
Xu Nianya looked at Jiang Yingli resentfully.
"Empress Chongyi, I call you Empress, but I am your cousin. How dare you frame your cousin like this just to appease an outsider!"
Jiang Yingli glared at her coldly in an instant, picked up the teacup at hand, opened the lid and poured it at Xu Nianya.
"Who gave you the guts to speak to me like that? You know clearly whether you are innocent or not!"
Xu Nianya was stunned by the tea.
Her hair was wet with tea leaves and she looked extremely disheveled.
Xu Nianya cried out in disbelief. "Jiang Yingli! I'm your sister, and you treat me like this!"
This time, Jiang Yingli smashed the empty teacup in her hand against Xu Nianya's forehead, instantly causing her forehead to bulge.
The teacup fell to the ground, breaking into pieces, making a crisp and harsh sound.
"How dare you, a bitch, come and get close to me, Lian Qiao! Slap her in the mouth!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lian Qiao, who hadn't stretched for a long time, rolled up her sleeves and went forward. She slapped Xu Nian Ya twenty times in a row.
Song Wanyan sat in the main seat, looking at the broken teacup on the ground and Xu Nianya who was slapped violently.
What happened? Even though it was the teacup from her Roufu Palace that was broken, she inexplicably didn't want to stop it.
She couldn't help but look at the furious Jiang Yingli. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to stand by and watch.
There were tea leaves on Xu Nian Ya's face, her forehead was red and swollen, and her face was also red and swollen from the slap Lian Qiao put all his strength on her. She looked even more embarrassed than before.
She covered her face, feeling so humiliated that she almost fainted.
The other concubines were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
Is this still Empress Chongyi? This is the first time she gets angry.
However, they also saw Xu Nian Ya's true face.
She is so arrogant that she wants to use her status as an elder sister to suppress Empress Chongyi without even considering her own limitations.
It's also extremely stupid.
If they had a cousin who was a favorite concubine in their family, they would definitely try all kinds of ways to please her and would even want to worship her and share in the glory.
She actually yelled at Empress Chongyi.
Xu Nianya covered her face with her hands and stared at Jiang Yingli with extreme resentment: "You beat the concubines and used lynching! I will complain to His Majesty and let him see what a beast you are!"
Jiang Yingli seemed to have heard something funny and suddenly chuckled twice.
She looked down at Xu Nianya condescendingly, then overturned the small table next to the chair.
The small table was overturned and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
All the concubines stood up instantly.
Except for Concubine Song and Zhaoyi Su, who just stood up and stared at Jiang Yingli in shock, all the other concubines knelt down to Jiang Yingli.
They knelt on the ground and said in unison:
"Empress Chongyi, calm down!"
Jiang Yingli stood in the crowd, staring at Xu Nianya with sarcasm and sneered.
"I tell you, I have the final say on how I will deal with you, and His Majesty will only applaud me."
"Who do you think you are to complain to His Majesty?"
