Chapter 2476 The Truth 2
She quickly knelt in front of Nan Yan and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will tell you everything! The one who harmed Her Royal Highness was Concubine Jing!"
"Fuer, you——"
At this point, Chen Lianxiang also understood that the situation was hopeless.
But she didn't expect that the confidant who had always been by her side would betray her like this at this time.
Fu'er looked back at her tremblingly and said, "Empress Jing, please don't blame me. You did all these things alone. I was helpless beside you. Now that the truth is in front of us, even if I deny it, you can't get away."
After saying that, she knelt down and walked in front of Nan Yan, kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. It was Concubine Jing who harmed Her Royal Highness the Princess. This has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, please be clear!"
Nan Yan lowered her head and looked at her coldly.
A barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although, in their opinion, the matter was already clear before their eyes, in fact, before Fu'er admitted everything, her heart was still empty.
Because she knew very well that all of this was her speculation.
Even though it has been confirmed that the drugged incense was made by Shen Lianxiang, this has nothing to do with the murder of Xinping.
In fact, there is no human or material evidence to prove that Chen Lianxiang murdered the princess.
If she insisted to death that she had only harmed Kang Jieyu, then the truth of Xinping being strangled and drowned would never be revealed.
However, God has mercy on us.
Of course, Nan Yan had planned this in advance.
If I were to interrogate them alone, Chen Lianxiang, a scheming person, would hardly reveal any clues throughout the whole thing. I'm afraid she would try her best to shirk responsibility in front of me.
Therefore, she went to the imperial study specifically to review the matter in front of Zhu Feng.
Everyone knows that the crime of deceiving the emperor is unforgivable.
These people might dare to speak nonsense in front of him, but they would not be so bold in front of the emperor; what's more, the invisible sense of oppression from Zhu Feng was the most frightening. As long as he was there, these people would not dare to lie.
Therefore, when these evidences and her own speculations were placed before her, Fu'er, as her confidant, collapsed first.
Only when she opens her mouth will everything come to light.
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
At this moment, her eyes were a little red.
For such a long time, Xin Ping's matter has always been like a thorn in her heart. Even though she has become accustomed to the pain, it is still pain after all, and she is always suffering from that torture.
It was not until today, at this moment, that the thorn was finally pulled out.
She finally got justice for her daughter.
Nan Yan said: "Is everything you said true?"
“Yes, yes!”
Fu'er kowtowed on the floor, her forehead red and swollen. She cried and said, "None of this has anything to do with me."
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth, and a gloomy voice rang out in the imperial study.
"Tell me clearly what's going on."
“…”
"If you conceal anything further, I will not only cut you into pieces, but also exterminate your entire clan!"
Upon hearing this, Fu'er was even more frightened.
She cried hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, all of this was done by Concubine Jing. She has always been jealous of Concubine Gui."
"Jealous Concubine?"
"Yes, she always believed that she should be favored by the emperor, but the imperial concubine—"
Having said that, Fu'er paused again. Although what she said was true, saying it in front of the imperial concubine offended her again.
So he quickly changed his words: "The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have a deep and lasting love, and she has always been jealous of him."
“…”
Although she changed her words, everyone understood the meaning of her words.
A few people's faces became a little subtle.
Zhu Feng's expression also paused slightly.
At this moment, he remembered the words that Queen Renxiao said to him before her death -
"When Wu rebelled, she didn't go to any of the many places in the harem, but only focused on burning and killing people in the Yikun Palace. Doesn't the emperor understand?"
"This is the result of exclusive favoritism."
"In the past, when I was still in this palace, I could suppress it a little bit. But when I'm not here, everyone in the harem only looks at the Imperial Concubine. There are as many people who envy me as there are people who are jealous. The human heart is extremely difficult to guess."
"For the stability of the former court and the harem, and also for the imperial concubine herself."
"Your Majesty, please love her less."
…
When a dying person is about to die, his words are good. He has never doubted the Queen's intentions. Even in his heart, he knows that being less loving to Nan Yan may not be a bad thing for her.
But he wanted to do it, but couldn't.
In his life, many people come and go around him, but there are very few people who he may fall in love with, and even fewer people who he can devote his heart to.
Nanyan is the most special one.
Even after he lost his memory, when the two met, he still had the same feelings for her as before he lost his memory, and he believed that this woman was the one who would accompany him for the rest of his life.
To him, she was different from everyone else in the harem.
So, even though the Queen reminded him and even though he had struggled in his heart, in the end, he couldn't bear it and was unwilling to do it.
But I didn't expect that this matter would come before my eyes again.
Because of his feelings for her, trouble arose again, and this time, the trouble fell on Xinping's head.
Zhu Feng clenched his hands, and the severe pain in his fingertips went all the way to his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Go on."
Seeing his expression, Fu'er was terrified, but she could only continue tremblingly, "There were several times when Concubine Jing wanted to come to the Emperor to seek favor, but without exception, she was interrupted by Princess Xinping."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng frowned.
Only then did he remember that this seemed to be the case.
He said in a deep voice: "So, she attacked Xinping?"
"yes,"
Fu'er said, "She is jealous of the Imperial Concubine, saying that she relies on Her Royal Highness the Princess to gain favor with the Emperor, so she wants to attack Her Royal Highness the Princess."
“…”
"She deliberately sent the box of drugged incense to Yangxingzhai, and then waited outside. When she saw Doctor Xue go in to treat Concubine Kang, she just—"
"Just what?"
"She took the bamboo ball Princess Xinping used to play with and threw it into Yangxingzhai, which attracted the princess to run over."
“…”
"After Her Royal Highness the Princess left and Imperial Physician Xue also left, she deliberately went to Yangxingzhai and told Concubine Kang that Her Royal Highness the Princess had been there, causing Concubine Kang to harbor murderous intentions against Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When she said this, Nan Yan clenched her teeth tightly.
