Chapter 2087 Who is making things difficult for Concubine Hui?
"My Lady, is this true?"
Nan Yan stood before her and said calmly, "If your majesty asks me about the matter of expelling her from the ancestral hall and erasing her name from the family tree, then I can answer that it was indeed the case."
“…”
"If the Queen asks whether she did such a wicked thing and framed the King of Wei, then if the Ministry of Justice's judgment is correct, then it is indeed true."
“…”
"That's my answer."
“…”
"As for the rest, I know nothing."
Xu Miaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Wu Wan's brows immediately furrowed.
Although she did raise these two issues just now, everyone knew that these two issues were already established facts and were not important at all, and she did not need to answer them.
What really matters is the connection between these two things.
However, as Concubine Hui, her rank was lower than that of the Imperial Concubine, and she could not directly blame the Imperial Concubine. Therefore, Wu Wan did not dare to raise the issue openly.
Unexpectedly, this imperial concubine was so cunning that she only answered the questions on the surface and ignored her hints.
The way she answered, there was no way to accuse her even if one wanted to.
Seeing that the matter was about to be brushed aside by her, Wu Wan was naturally unwilling to accept it, so she deliberately sneered: "The Imperial Concubine is really good at speaking."
“…”
"Is this matter really that simple?"
Having said that, she probably felt that she was somewhat alone and powerless. Although Concubine Xu and the others were all dependent on her, the matter involved the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and the King of Wei, and they had no right to make decisions.
And Concubine An Gao Yurong——
She had been absent-minded since early this morning and didn't say a word at this time. Wu Wan turned around and glared at her.
Gao Yurong had to force herself to cheer up after being glared at by her.
He immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's a bit of an understatement to say that."
"Avoid the important and focus on the trivial?"
Nan Yan turned to look at them. "It seems that today, Concubine Hui and Concubine An are determined to get an answer from me. However, I don't quite understand. Why don't you tell me what is important and what is trivial?"
The two were stunned by her question.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Xipin Ruanmei suddenly said, "If my guess is correct, what Concubine Hui means is that the Imperial Concubine's expulsion of my younger sister from the ancestral hall was a minor offense; the case heard by the Ministry of Justice was also a minor offense."
“…”
"But the connection between the two is serious."
Nan Yan's heart sank.
This sentence really stumped me.
However, looking at Ruan Mei's charming young face, with its innocent yet reckless expression, no one would have thought she would ask such a question. In fact, this question was not her own idea.
Just now, Nan Yan saw from the corner of her eye that Concubine Chen Lianxiang, who was sitting behind Wu Wan, leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
I think that's what it means.
She said it according to Shen Lianxiang's words.
As for Chen Lianxiang, she sat quietly in the back and didn't say anything, as if she had nothing to do with the matter at all.
Although this person is quiet, every time he speaks, he gets straight to the point, like a stabilizing force.
She actually trapped herself.
After hearing Ruan Mei's words, everyone's faces became increasingly serious.
In fact, this is what everyone was thinking, but no one dared to say it out of consideration for the Imperial Concubine.
Now, after Ruan Mei said this, everyone's eyes fell on Nan Yan again.
Before, everyone looked at her with confusion and bewilderment.
Now, when everyone looked at her again, there was a hint of fear and disdain in their eyes.
After all, if there really was such a person, in order to eliminate dissidents, to frame the King of Wei, and to distance himself from the matter, he would have expelled his younger sister from the family tree early on and forced her to become a nun and do such evil things for him. How many people could match such far-reaching plans and such deep scheming?
And afterwards - the death of the Si family's little sister was probably no different from silencing her.
Who could look up to such a person?
It's worse than beasts!
Seeing that everyone was looking at Nan Yan like this, she was still relatively calm, but Ran Xiaoyu beside her had her eyebrows raised and was glaring at everyone in the room.
It seemed that if anyone opened their mouth and blamed the imperial concubine again, she would fight to the death with that person.
Although she had improved her temper a lot by following Nan Yan, when Nan Yan really reached a critical moment, she didn't care about so much.
Concubine Shun Xinqing, who had been frowning and listening to everyone's speculation and Wu Wan's pressure, spoke up at this time and said softly, "How can you say that?"
Everyone looked at her.
Xin Qing said calmly and firmly, "The Imperial Concubine is not that kind of person. My sisters, we all serve the Emperor together. Please don't let rumors create discord between us. Doing so will not benefit anyone."
After she said this, everyone's gazes, which were originally filled with accusations, died down.
Xinqing is a special existence in this palace.
Although she was not favored by the emperor, everyone knew that she had an irreplaceable position in the emperor's heart, so people were not afraid of her but respected her; although her status was not high, what she said was very popular.
At this moment, hearing her say this, Nan Yan turned around and looked at her.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, she was still thinking about defending herself.
But at this moment, Wu Wan's voice sounded coldly again. She sneered and said, "Shun Fei is really good at getting along with everyone. She never wastes time in front of anyone."
Hearing this, Xinqing frowned slightly.
She turned to look at Wu Wan and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that, Concubine Hui?"
Wu Wan said, "What I mean is this: some questions need to be answered. If you can't answer them, don't blame others for having wild assumptions."
“…”
"If a person can't even clearly express his innocence with his mouth, who else can prove it?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan looked at her and suddenly sneered.
Said: "What Concubine Hui said today is quite righteous."
“…”
"However, I would like to ask you, who among those sitting in Yonghe Palace is not innocent? Please name them and let me see."
Wu Wan frowned.
Nan Yan said this, clearly still using her own rank of imperial concubine to pressure her. If she really said the word imperial concubine, Nan Yan would definitely punish her.
Just as Wu Wan gritted her teeth and murmured in silence, Gao Yurong spoke.
"My Lady, you—"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's face darkened and she looked at Gao Yurong.
Gao Yurong's heart trembled at her sharp gaze. She coughed lightly and said casually, "Your Majesty's words are clearly trying to embarrass Concubine Hui."
At this moment, Zhu Feng's low voice came from the door -
"Who is making things difficult for Concubine Hui?"
