Chapter 255: Cold all over
Old ginger is still spicy.
No matter what they said, Concubine Ning had only one thing in mind: to let the guard Li, who deserved to die, come out.
As long as he is tortured severely, there is no need to worry that Guard Li will not confess.
She wanted to ask him, how did she offend him that made him hold such a grudge against her?
Also, she had been secretly planning for a long time, even thinking about the evil slave who stole her cakes when she was a child, but she had never thought about when she had offended this guard Li.
So, she was sure that there must be something here that she didn't know.
So, no matter what the Queen and the Crown Prince say now, hand over Guard Li first. He must know something.
Empress Feng snorted coldly, "Noble Concubine Ning, you are wrong, so why are you pushing the blame onto a mere guard? That's really uncouth."
"Also, what about Guard Li and Guard Wang? There are so many guards in this palace. Who knows who he is?"
Concubine Ning pushed the emperor away, furious.
"You're not the one being wrongly accused, so naturally you'd say that. Besides, if I say I didn't do it, then I didn't do it. I'm not like some other person who would lie and say I didn't do it even if I did."
"What do you mean, Concubine Ning? Are you saying that I wronged you? Fine, then tell me why you went to the Lin Residence that day? Didn't you go there just because the Crown Prince had gone there? You clearly went there to find fault with the Crown Prince, but when you couldn't find any, you got angry and pushed him."
"Me? I pushed him? Oh, Queen, you speak as if you saw it with your own eyes. I am not afraid to tell you that I went to the Lin Mansion because your good prince wanted to enter the small door with hanging flowers to find a beautiful woman."
"You're talking nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense? Ha, do I need to talk nonsense? Why don't you ask your good prince if he is right?"
hiss.
When everyone heard this, they gasped, and even the emperor looked at Zong Yuanji strangely.
Zong Yuanji was already running a high fever and feeling extremely unwell. Now, he was asked to answer this question, which made him confused for a while.
Queen Feng secretly thought that this was not a good idea. She must not let Concubine Ning accuse the Crown Prince of being lustful, otherwise he would be ridiculed by the whole world.
She suddenly knelt down and said sadly.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was personally taught by you and me. How could he do such a thing as entering the small door through which the flowers are dangling? Moreover, the Crown Prince has already chosen a Crown Princess and two concubines. Which of these three ladies is not dignified and beautiful? Which of them is not a lotus flower emerging from the water? Why would we need to look for others?"
"Noble Concubine Ning, you are so cruel, actually slandering the Crown Prince's reputation?"
"Your Majesty, if you ask why Ji'er went to the Lin Mansion, I know a thing or two."
So Queen Feng told everyone about the disaster.
"This matter is of great importance, but because it didn't happen, Ji'er didn't make it public."
"The reason why Ji'er went to the Lin Mansion was purely accidental. The Crown Prince was upset, and Xiao Yuan, who was accompanying him, felt that the Crown Prince was moving around so casually, and was afraid that someone would murder him. So he boldly let Ji'er go to the Lin Mansion, which led to the disaster at the Lin Mansion."
The decision to confer the title of Queen was made with genuine feelings, and this statement made it impossible for Concubine Ning to find any fault with her.
Queen Feng retorted.
"But Concubine Ning, why are you here at the Lin Residence? Don't tell me you're upset because of the disaster. Do you have any reason to ask Xiao Yuan to stay at the Lin Residence? Humph!"
this?
When Concubine Ning heard this, she gritted her teeth.
She went to the Lin Mansion because she naturally didn't want to be too high-profile, and she couldn't admit that another reason why Zong Yuanji went to the Lin Mansion was that she had secretly arranged it. It was she who let him know that there was a stunningly beautiful woman in the Lin Mansion.
Now, you've shot yourself in the foot?
When Ji Chenchuan heard this, he really hated that he didn't have a handful of melon seeds in his hand. This was even more exciting than the palace fighting in TV dramas.
Look at how these two are fighting back and forth.
but.
Ji Chenchuan sighed lightly. The prince was destined to lose this game because everything was in the eyes of the emperor. The dragon guard had already reported everything in advance, including the matter of guards Li and Liu.
It would be fine if Zong Yuanji could readily admit his mistake at this time. He would not be punished too severely. He would just be told not to be plotted against in the future and that the crown prince should be lenient to others.
But if he keeps silent now, it will only make His Majesty even more unhappy, especially regarding the deaths of Guards Li and Liu. His Majesty will look at him in a different light and from a different perspective.
However, he would not be so kind as to remind them.
Humph, who made him want Lin Qingjun?
Still smashing the door?
Zong Yuanji, oh Zong Yuanji, if I don’t teach him a lesson this time, he really thinks that Lin Qingjun has no one behind him.
After a few breaths, Concubine Ning calmed down.
She said, "Your Highness, it's useless for you to say so much. Let's get that Guard Li out. As for why I went to the Lin Mansion, huh? It's because I wanted to see what the Crown Prince was doing there. After all, I don't like him."
Bu.
When Queen Feng heard this, she almost vomited blood.
She actually admitted so openly that she didn't like the Crown Prince? Was she, was she crazy? In the harem, even if she didn't like him, she wouldn't say it so bluntly. And what's more, the Emperor was still here. Wasn't she afraid that the Emperor would dislike her?
But when the queen turned around and looked at the emperor, she was shocked.
The emperor's expression didn't change at all? Not even a hint of displeasure or strangeness?
When Queen Feng saw this, she felt cold all over, even her fingertips were cold, and her head was buzzing. She seemed to understand something.
Ji Chenchuan watched Queen Feng's back bend down little by little, and all her energy seemed to be drained away at this moment.
However, he did not feel pity for this woman at all, nor did he deserve sympathy at all. Don't forget that she had used an almost shameless method to deal with a five-year-old child who was powerless and weak.
"Your Majesty, why are you silent? Prince, where is Guard Li? Can you call him out? Why, are you afraid? Are you afraid that I might ask you something?"
Concubine Ning also knelt before the emperor with a thud.
"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged this time. I hope Your Majesty will help me."
At this point, everyone knows what happened.
In order to frame Concubine Ning, the prince used himself as a trap and jumped into the pool.
In a small sense, it was a frame-up, but in a big sense, he was unfilial. No matter what kind of person Concubine Ning was, she was still his father's woman, and he shouldn't have done that.
The emperor looked gloomily at the prince who was kneeling beside him with a red face due to fever. It would be a lie to say that he didn't love him.
This was his first child, and he was the one who brought him the feeling of being a father for the first time, but now...
"Ji'er, get up."
The emperor stepped forward, gently helped him up, placed him aside, and took out a cloak to cover him.
