Leng Hong's eyes were filled with smiles. "You speak, I'm listening."
His words made people feel that he didn't care about this matter. The queen's eyebrows twitched slightly and she bit her lip.
Su Wanti smiled gently. She knew Leng Hong's temper very well. As long as it didn't involve power, he would not take anything to heart.
However, she was still somewhat puzzled. No matter what the reason was, impersonation was truly deceiving the emperor.
Leng Hong hates being plotted against, deceived, and used the most. Does he really not care about this?
Su Wanti buried this confusion in her heart for the time being and focused on dealing with the matter at hand.
She first walked up to the old eunuch,
"Father-in-law, please look up." Her voice was soft and warm like a spring breeze.
The eunuch raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and he looked old and pitiful.
Su Wanti pulled up his sleeves and saw that the father-in-law's arms were covered with red scars.
My father-in-law's eyes were filled with tears and his face was full of bitterness and grievance.
Su Wanti said softly, "Eunuch, when you pointed at me just now, I noticed that your face looked off and your arms were shaking violently."
"I have been grateful for your care since entering the palace. I only wanted to do my job well and stay away from disputes. You listened to me and arranged for me to work in the greenhouse, telling me that although it would be tiring, I could live a stable life here. I remember the care you gave me, my father-in-law, and I know you well. You are not someone who can be easily bribed, nor are you someone who would slander others."
Her words made the father-in-law burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, I'm so sorry. It was Concubine Qiu who found me and asked me to frame you. I refused, so she beat me. My life is gone, but Concubine Qiu also arrested my family..."
"I entered the palace as a eunuch because my family was poor, so I could earn more money to support my brothers and sisters. Now they are threatening my family, and I dare not disobey!"
After saying this, he kowtowed to Leng Hong, leaving a bloody mark on his forehead.
"I beg Your Majesty and Your Majesty to rescue my family! They are imprisoned in a small courtyard in Yangshu Hutong, Daliushu Street, in the capital. The courtyard is guarded. My brother's grandson climbed out of a dog hole and secretly delivered a letter to my neighbor. I only found out about it when I returned home. Please send someone to rescue them!"
He spoke in a miserable and pitiful manner, and several palace maids were so sad that they shed tears.
Su Wanti looked at Leng Hong, and Leng Hong waved his hand and let the imperial guards go.
Qiu Cairen watched from the side, his eyes wide open in shock, red in the depths of his eyes.
Why did you turn against me?
She was furious and pointed at the father-in-law, angrily saying, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't hit you!"
She certainly didn't hit the father-in-law. The scars on his body were inflicted by himself.
That eunuch had been in the palace for decades, and had been accepting bribes for years without getting into trouble. He was a man of deep thoughts and far-reaching plans.
He admitted that the imperial concubine had impersonated him and he could not escape the death penalty.
But if you don't admit it, there is still a glimmer of hope.
That day, after Concubine Qiu forced him to testify, he thought for a moment and sent his trusted apprentice to deliver a letter to Su Wanti.
The plan of pretending to agree to Concubine Qiu and then turning against her after entering the palace came into being.
Why did he pretend to agree? Because his family was really captured by a group of people, but these people were not Qiu Cairen's family, but the Queen's family.
He had no choice but to do this to protect his family.
Qiu Cairen's angry rebuke made the eunuch tremble, and Su Wanti seized on the omission in her words and asked, "Are you admitting that you sent people to capture his family?"
Qiu Cairen's breathing stopped and she subconsciously looked at the queen. She saw that the queen had lowered her eyes and was looking at a ruby ring on her finger.
This ruby ring was sent to the palace by her father and brother, so that she could give it to the queen personally as a token of goodwill.
Qiu Cairen's eyes darkened, and he said stubbornly, "No! I didn't have anyone lock him up!"
She knew that the eunuch's family was imprisoned by the queen's family.
They always like to threaten others, so they think the imperial concubine is the same.
In order to prevent the imperial concubine from threatening the old eunuch's family, the queen's family first took the old eunuch's family under control and prevented outsiders from contacting them.
Unexpectedly, his cleverness backfired.
This move instead put them in a passive position and became one of the evidences for them to frame the Imperial Noble Concubine.
Qiu Cairen thought of his father and brother, took a deep breath, and said with a spirit:
"Let's put this eunuch's matter aside for now. I believe that the emperor is wise and will investigate thoroughly and clear my name. However, Royal Concubine, both families have recognized that you are not Su Shuang. You can't deny it, right?"
Su Wanti sneered,
"What do I admit? You simply bribed these two families to frame me. These two families are greedy for money. For the sake of money, they will say anything."
After learning about the queen's actions, Su Wanti bought a lot of confusing pills from the system and spent a large amount of points to let the system put the confusing pills into the wells of Su Shuang's manor and the original owner's manor respectively.
Both villages only drank from the well in the center of the village. However, within a few days, all the people in the two villages were poisoned by the confusing pills, including Su Shuang's family and the original owner's family.
Su Wanti had seen Su Shuang's appearance, so she drew Su Shuang's appearance, folded it into a small piece, and stuffed it into a very exquisite gold-wire cage.
This golden steamed bun was also purchased from the system mall. It is an auxiliary prop for the confusion pill.
Su Wanti wore the gold-wire cage as a decoration. Anyone who took the confusing pill would see her face as the face in the painting stuffed in the gold-wire cage.
