Chapter 158 Get Out!
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu, who had a look of despair on her face, immediately broke free from the shackles of the palace maid and shouted at Qi Junqi: "Your Majesty, it must be Concubine De who bribed this palace maid to slander me!"
Concubine De turned pale and angrily shouted, "Don't slander me, Your Majesty. I don't know this maid at all and I haven't bribed anyone!"
He Xiang suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "Your Majesty, there is also the maid who wet the princess's clothes while pouring tea for her. I suspect that the maid is also closely related to this matter!"
After these words were spoken, Concubine De’s face turned three shades paler.
Qi Junqi said in a deep voice: "Xun'an, bring the person up."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Concubine De was very panicked and pinched her palms to force herself to calm down.
Suddenly she thought that her plan had not succeeded at all, and the palace maid who took the poison was not her own, so she slowly calmed down.
Xiaodong was brought in, and when he saw the body on the ground, he wailed: "Sister——"
Her voice was filled with sorrow and anger. She broke free of her shackles and threw herself on the corpse, then roared at Concubine De: "Madam Concubine De, didn't you promise me that if I helped you to kill the princess, you would let my sister go?"
The emotions of Concubine De, who had just calmed down, collapsed again. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Xiaodong in disbelief.
"Slut, when did I ever let you harm the princess? Who do you belong to? How dare you slander me like this!"
As she said that, she rushed forward excitedly and grabbed Xiaodong's neck.
He Xiang exclaimed: "Empress Defei is trying to kill people to silence them!"
Concubine Shu was also anxious. This was a good opportunity for her to clear herself of the charges, and she couldn't let the palace maid die.
She rushed over and grabbed Defei's hair bun, and secretly twisted the soft flesh on her waist.
Defei screamed and let go of her hands, and was thrown aside by Shufei and Hexiang.
She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not forget to cry out for justice: "Your Majesty, I really did not murder the princess..."
"I admit that I have some complaints against the princess, but I really have no intention of murdering her..."
Qi Junqi's face was gloomy: "What about these two palace maids? Why did you order this maid to wet Yi Yang's clothes?"
“Your concubine…your concubine…”
I saw that she was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly.
Qi Junqi was furious: "Come here, Concubine De Mu has plotted to murder the eldest princess and has shown no remorse. Her mind is extremely vicious. She has killed and robbed the princess of her title. I will give her a piece of white silk and a cup of poisoned wine."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..." Defei was so frightened that she rolled and crawled to his feet.
"I really didn't harm the princess. I just wanted that slave to wet her clothes to embarrass her. I really didn't have any other malicious intentions. I beg Your Majesty to take back your order and forgive me..."
Qi Junqi kicked her away and shouted angrily: "Why don't you tell the truth? If that's the case, why did you hesitate and refuse to tell the truth just now!"
De Fei cried until her face was covered with snot and tears. She cried, "Your Majesty, you know that I have always been timid. You dote on the eldest princess so much. If you knew that I wanted to embarrass her, you would kill me..."
"I will never dare to do it again. Your Majesty, please forgive me this time..."
Concubine Shu snorted coldly: "Who knows if you are just making excuses? These are all people in your palace. Without your coercion or instruction, how could they do such a treasonous thing?"
"I swear, if there is even a single lie in what I said, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
After swearing the oath, Concubine De suddenly had a brainwave and pointed at Concubine Shu and said angrily, "Your Majesty, maybe that lowly maid was bribed by Concubine Shu to frame me!"
"Otherwise, why would this slave girl come in and start biting me? After all, I am her master!"
Concubine Shu was terrified and shouted, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense. She just wants to get away with it, so she is accusing me!"
While the two were arguing, Xun An quickly walked to Qi Junqi's side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Moon Palace that the eldest princess has been found."
Qi Junqi's brows relaxed, and he waved his arm: "The two concubines Shude are suspected of murdering the princess and depriving her of her title. They will be taken to the cold palace to await punishment. All the palace maids in their palace will be taken to the palace for strict interrogation!"
"Go to the Moon Palace!"
The other side.
After taking the antidote, Xie Lao became completely sober on the way.
He saw himself being almost half-dragged forward by two eunuchs, with his hands tied behind his back.
"What's going on? Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a terrible pain on his face. Looking at the person leading the way in front of him, he struggled to shout at that person, "Where is the princess? Where did you take the princess?"
Shao Siyan turned to look at him: "Why, did Envoy Xie forget what he did?"
Seeing that it was him, Xie Luo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the princess had been saved. Then he felt a pain all over his body, not just on his face, as if he had been beaten up.
He was puzzled and asked, "Why did the Imperial Physician tie me up?"
Shao Siyan said quietly, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that your beastly nature will be unleashed?"
"Me?" Xie Lao's eyes widened and he asked in astonishment, "A beastly nature?"
"Are you kidding me..."
Suddenly, he thought of something and his face froze.
The next second, his face turned pale and then immediately red.
Shao Siyan snorted coldly: "It seems that Envoy Xie has remembered it."
"Did I hurt the princess?" His face was full of panic and distress. He added, "Why are you tying me up here instead of healing the princess?"
Shao Siyan: "Young Marquis Gu has taken the princess back to the Moon Palace first."
Xie Luo frowned and said anxiously: "Untie the rope quickly, I will use Qinggong to take you back. Gu Qingyu, that reckless man, will never be able to heal injuries!"
"Don't let the princess' injury get worse!"
Inside the Moon Palace.
Gu Qingyu carried the person back to the bedroom, put him on the couch and asked the palace maid to find some hemostatic ointment.
Later, Qi Yue was awakened by the pain. She looked at the head below her that was wearing a black jade hair crown.
Enduring the discomfort, he asked, "What are you doing?"
Gu Qingyu raised his head, his face flushed, even his ears and neck were red.
He stuttered, "Princess, Princess... I am helping you apply medicine..."
Qi Yue still felt sticky on her body, so she slowly propped herself up and looked.
The next second her face was full of anger and she reached out and twisted his ear.
When Xie Lao and Shao Si Yan arrived, a roar broke out in the bedroom.
"Gu Qingyu! Can you please have some common sense?"
"Get out and let Shao Siyan in!"
"Princess, don't be angry. Take care of your wound. I will leave immediately..."
A moment later, Gu Qingyu walked out of the bedroom with a huge slap mark on his face.
Looking more closely, I found that his ears were also red, but the degree of redness of the two ears was not the same.
