Chapter 346 Confrontation (Part 2)
"How dare you take human life so lightly!" When the emperor heard Concubine Qin admit it so readily, he suppressed his astonishment and scolded loudly.
"Father, look, Concubine Qin has admitted that these girls are used by her for bathing. This behavior is no different from that of a demon."
Seeing that his father was angry, Mo Jingchen shouted again loudly that he didn't mind adding fuel to his father's fire.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to explain in detail." When Concubine Qin saw that the emperor was angry, she knelt down quickly, but there was no panic in her tone.
Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing looked at each other. It seemed that Concubine Qin had other tricks up her sleeve.
"You say!" The emperor saw Concubine Qin kneeling on the ground with her eyes filled with tears, looking at him pitifully. He couldn't bear it and decided to give her a chance.
When Mo Jingchen heard his father say this, he knew what his father meant. After all, his father had always doted on Concubine Qin, so it was not surprising that his father did this.
However, he wanted to see how Concubine Qin would argue.
"Your Majesty, the secret recipe for a blood bath does not specify how much blood is needed. In order not to hurt others, I only take a small amount each time and will not take their lives."
Concubine Qin glanced at the girls behind her, then turned to look at the emperor.
"Empress Qin, how do you know that bleeding won't harm someone's life? This is just your sophistry."
Mo Jingchen made a mocking sound and looked at Concubine Qin with a cold look.
"Your Highness, you are not a woman. Normal women have menstrual bleeding every month after they become adults. It's okay to have so much blood. The blood I took was even less. Aren't all the girls behind me fine?"
Concubine Qin heard the sarcasm in Mo Jingchen's tone and retorted.
"You are just making up stories. You haven't bled these girls yet, so they are naturally fine. What about the girls before that?"
Mo Jingchen was also stunned when he heard Concubine Qin actually mentioned women's menstrual water. He never expected that Concubine Qin could come up with such a statement.
"It is precisely because I do not want to hurt innocent people that I will not catch a group of girls. I naturally let the previous girls go home. If Your Highness does not believe me, just send someone to look for them."
When Concubine Qin said this, she looked at the emperor with an innocent expression, as if what she said was the truth.
"Those girls are from Dongyou. We don't know whether they are alive or dead. How can I find them? Concubine Qin, you are really calculating."
After listening to Concubine Qin's words, although Mo Jingchen did not admit defeat, a feeling of powerlessness emerged in his heart. This Concubine Qin was really eloquent.
"Your Highness, you are the one who questioned my disregard for human life, so Your Highness must produce evidence. You also said that these girls have not bled yet, so how can these people serve as witnesses to testify against me?"
Concubine Qin keenly noticed the loophole in Mo Jingchen's words, suppressed the joy in her heart, and asked again.
"This... But you admitted to taking a blood bath, didn't you? How can you say such a cruel thing so easily?"
Mo Jingchen was speechless. He took a look at his father's face and finally grabbed the last trump card.
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? How can taking a blood bath be cruel? Then may I ask if Your Highness knows about Placenta?"
Concubine Qin knew that Mo Jingchen had been forced into a corner by her and her expression softened, and she even managed a smug smile.
"What is placenta?" the emperor asked at this time. In fact, after a war of words with Concubine Qin, he had gradually leaned towards Concubine Qin's side.
"Does the prince know? Does anyone present know?" When Concubine Qin heard the emperor asking her, her tone lost its previous aggressive momentum and she felt a little more at ease.
There is no evidence to imprison the Crown Princess, and she is almost done with the blood bath. There is a high probability that she will get away with it today. Thinking of this, Concubine Qin glanced at Mo Jingchen, and that look contained too many things.
Today, Mo Jingchen clearly went against her, so she wouldn't have to pretend to smile in the future. Bai Ruodie took note of this.
"In reply to the emperor, the placenta is the afterbirth that is produced when a woman gives birth, and it can be used as medicine."
At this time, Su Yue answered loudly. Since Concubine Qin asked everyone present, she had to speak up.
Because she realized that Mo Jingchen was about to lose the battle today.
"You..." Concubine Qin looked at the person who was speaking and found that it was the girl who had stared at her at the door of the imperial study before, so she couldn't help but speak out.
"Who are you?" The emperor heard someone's explanation, so he looked at Su Yue and asked.
"In reply to the emperor, I have learned some medical skills."
Su Yue took a few steps towards the emperor and knelt on the ground. Shangguan Nanxing, who was standing by, heard Su Yue speak and he also saw the current situation clearly. If Yue'er didn't come out, Mo Jingchen might really lose. The most terrifying thing was that at this rate, these girls who had just been rescued might be taken back by Concubine Qin.
"Your Majesty, you have heard what the young doctor said. Placenta is used as medicine. Even human placenta can be used as medicine. How can it be cruel for me to use some blood? It is all from human bodies and is medicine!"
When Concubine Qin saw Su Yue coming out and saying this, she naturally stopped worrying about it. The most important thing for her at the moment was to convince the emperor.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor again. This time it was obvious that the emperor's expression had completely relaxed. Concubine Qin's eyes were sparkling with stars. Victory in today's battle was within reach.
"What Concubine Qin said does make sense." The emperor was now completely convinced by Concubine Qin's words and he agreed with them.
And Concubine Qin looked at the lonely Mo Jingchen provocatively.
"Your Majesty, I cured the Crown Princess's illness, and I was indeed the one who treated the Crown Princess in Xiaoyaozhu."
Just when Concubine Qin was feeling proud, Su Yue's confident voice spread throughout the imperial study.
Su Yue's words pushed things to another climax.
Concubine Qin's smug smile was frozen on her face.
