"Liang Guifei!"
"Guifei Madam!"
"..."
Suddenly, several panicked screams came from behind.
Liao Qingqing and He Xiang turned around.
It was Concubine Xian, Li Fangyi and others.
They hurriedly ran towards the water pavilion.
Concubine Xian even lay on the guardrail and shouted: "Guifei Madam! Guifei Madam!"
Liao Qingqing and the others looked at it in a daze.
For a moment, they didn't quite understand what was happening in front of them.
Concubine Xian turned around and said angrily: "Xi Zhaorong! You actually pushed Concubine Liang Guifei into the water!"
Liao Qingqing said: "I didn't."
"I saw it clearly!" Concubine Xian said.
"That..." Although Liao Qingqing didn't know Concubine Liang, she respected life and didn't have the habit of watching life struggle and disappear before her eyes, so she said, "Empress Xianfei, Concubine Liang is still in the water."
Concubine Xian only then reacted, turned around and shouted, "Go and save Concubine Liang!"
Several palace maids hesitated.
They couldn't swim, and jumping into the water would be suicide.
Concubine Xian shouted, "Hurry up! Hurry and save people!"
At this time, Concubine Liang's palace maid came back, dropped the tray in her hand, shouted "Empress Guifei", and quickly jumped into the water. When she dragged Concubine Liang to the shore, the eunuchs nearby had already heard the news, and they jumped into the water together and dragged Concubine Liang to the shore.
"Where is the imperial physician? Where is the imperial physician?" Concubine Xian shouted.
"Madam Xian, the imperial physician has not arrived yet." A maid replied.
"Go and urge him!"
"Yes."
Concubine Xian quickly squatted in front of Concubine Liang Guifei and called out with a caring look: "Madam Guifei, Madam Guifei."
Concubine Liang Guifei was soaking wet, her face was a little pale, and her eyes were tightly closed.
Concubine Xian ordered the maid beside her to rescue her urgently.
The maid beat Concubine Liang Guifei's chest and pinched her Ren Zhong. Concubine
Liang Guifei slowly woke up.
Concubine Xian and others were very happy.
"Madam Guifei, Madam Guifei." Concubine Xian called.
However, because she was really exhausted, Concubine Liang fell into the arms of the palace maid and ignored everyone.
Concubine Xian thought of Liao Qingqing at this time, and stood up angrily, looking at Liao Qingqing fiercely. Liao Qingqing
looked at Concubine Xian in surprise.
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and said, "Xi Zhaorong, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
Liao Qingqing asked in confusion, "What's wrong with me?"
"You almost killed Concubine Liang!"
"How did I harm Concubine Liang?" Concubine Liang was already very strange, and now there was another strange Concubine Xian.
"How dare you make excuses?!" Concubine Xian shouted, "So many eyes watched you push Concubine Liang into the water, do you think everyone else is blind?"
"Madam Concubine Xian." He Xiang couldn't bear to see her master being framed, so she explained, "My master just came to say hello to Concubine Liang, and didn't push her. It was Concubine Liang who jumped in by herself."
"Who are you?! Do you have the right to speak here?" Concubine Xian turned around and scolded, almost hitting He Xiang.
He Xiang trembled with fear.
Liao Qingqing reached out and pulled He Xiang behind her, looking at Concubine Xian and said, "My Lady Concubine Xian, I didn't push Concubine Liang."
"Save it for
the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." "I'll say the same thing when I see the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
"Okay!" Concubine Xian said angrily, "I want to see how you can confuse right and wrong with the witnesses!"
He Xiang's heart tightened when she heard it, and she turned to look at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing didn't answer.
But she knew that this was a plot by Concubine Liang and Concubine Xian.
They deliberately led her here to pay respects.
They deliberately chatted with her. They
deliberately jumped into the water to frame her...
I knew it!
I knew that Concubine Liang and Concubine Xian had no good intentions!
What should I do now?
She subconsciously looked around. She
didn't find any suspicious people or things.
There is no way to prove her innocence.
Is she going to be in trouble now?
"The Emperor is here, the Empress Dowager is here--" Suddenly, Fu Sheng's announcement came.
Liao Qingqing's heart tightened.
He Xiang was scared.
Concubine Liang tried to get up, but couldn't.
When Concubine Xian heard this, she was overjoyed. She glanced at Liao Qingqing with the rest of her eyes, and was even more delighted when she saw Liao Qingqing's solemn expression.
She turned her head to look at Emperor Jingli and the Empress Dowager. The Empress
Dowager was as indifferent as usual.
Emperor Jingli looked anxious, and his steps were steady and fast.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor live long and healthy lives. Greetings to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be well." A group of people saluted respectfully.
"Get up." Emperor Jingli responded casually, walked quickly to Liao Qingqing, took Liao Qingqing's hand, looked Liao Qingqing up and down, and asked worriedly: "My beloved concubine, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Concubine Xian: "???"
Concubine Liang: "???"
Palace maid: "???"
It was Concubine Liang who fell into the water, not Xi Zhaorong!
Liao Qingqing said awkwardly and nervously: "Your Majesty, I am fine, it was Concubine Liang."
Emperor Jingli then turned his eyes and asked: "What happened to Concubine Liang?"
"I fell into the water."
Emperor Jingli turned to look at Concubine Liang, who was still lying in the arms of a palace maid. He asked, "Concubine Liang, how did you fall into the water?"
Concubine Liang: "???" What's the question? She didn't want to talk.
Concubine Xian then said, "Your Majesty, it was Xi Zhaorong who pushed Concubine Gui into the water." Before
Liao Qingqing could refute, Emperor Jingli frowned and asked, "Where is the evidence?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Concubine Xian answered decisively.
"What you saw doesn't count."
"???"
"Who else saw it?"
"I saw it." Several palace maids bowed at the same time.
"You only see Xi Zhaorong, why don't you see Concubine Gui sitting on the ground!" Emperor Jingli raised his voice and said, "Why don't you help Concubine Gui back to Linhua Palace? What a mess she is in now!"
As soon as the words fell, Concubine Xian and others were shocked.
The maids hurriedly helped Concubine Liang up and walked towards Linhua Palace.
Emperor Jingli said, "Follow me."
Liao Qingqing and Concubine Xian responded at the same time, "Yes."
Emperor Jingli looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother glanced at the concubines and said, "I will follow you too."
"Thank you for your hard work, mother."
The group arrived at Linhua Palace.
The imperial physician came over and after checking Concubine Liang's pulse, he said to Emperor Jingli: "Your Majesty, although Concubine Liang fell into the water, the weather is hot now, so she is fine."
"I see, you can go down." Emperor Jingli said.
The imperial physician left.
Emperor Jingli said: "Please invite Concubine Liang out." Concubine
Xian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my sister just fell into the water..."
"Concubine Xian, I haven't seen you for a long time. You don't understand what the imperial physician said?"
Concubine Xian immediately fell silent.
"Why don't you invite Concubine Liang!" Emperor Jingli said.
A palace maid hurriedly went to invite Concubine Liang.
After a while, Concubine Liang, who had changed her clothes, came to the palace.
The Empress Dowager of Emperor Jingli asked about Concubine Liang's situation.
Concubine Liang replied softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I am fine."
"I am fine." Emperor Jingli did not say anything more.
Concubine Liang turned her head slightly and glanced at Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian said quickly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang fell into the water this time because of Xi Zhaorong. Please give justice to Concubine Liang and justice to the harem."
"Why? The harem is not fair?" Emperor Jingli asked.
"That is not what I meant. It's just that many people saw Xi Zhaorong murdering Concubine Liang. It is hard to convince the public without a result." Concubine Xian said.
Emperor Jingli glanced at the other concubines in Linhua Palace, then at the Queen Mother, who looked as if she had nothing to do with it. He then looked at Liao Qingqing, who bowed her head and said nothing. He asked, "What was Xi Zhaorong's motive for pushing Concubine Liang into trouble?" "You
should ask Xi Zhaorong about this," said Concubine Xian.
"Who points out and who gives evidence," said Emperor Jingli.
Concubine Xian had no choice but to speak up, "Concubine Liang has always been the most respected person in the harem. Xi Zhaorong relied on the emperor's favor and could not stand Concubine Liang. It is possible that she killed her." She wanted to say that Liao Qingqing wanted to be the empress, but the issue of "establishing the empress" was still under debate, so it was not appropriate to bring it up.
Originally, her purpose was to gather the power of the concubines in the harem to destroy Liao Qingqing's image in the heart of Emperor Jingli, and then publicize Liao Qingqing's bad deeds to influence the court officials, delay the establishment of the empress, and then continue to splash dirty water on Liao Qingqing, making Liao Qingqing unable to match the position of empress.
"Killing in broad daylight?" Emperor Jingli asked back.
"Whether it is broad daylight or the middle of the night, as long as there is no one around, it is a good opportunity for Xi Zhaorong to kill. I just didn't expect that I and my sisters would rush over and see Xi Zhaorong's evil deeds." After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she glanced at the other concubines behind her, then she knelt down and said righteously: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for Concubine Liang." "
Please make a decision for Concubine Liang!" The other concubines followed suit and knelt down.
It seemed like they were forcing Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli pressed his forehead, and was really impressed by Concubine Xian and the others. When he was about to speak, he heard Liao Qingqing call out, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingli immediately raised his eyes and looked at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing said, "Your Majesty, I did not push Concubine Liang."
Emperor Jingli immediately said, "I believe you."
Liao Qingqing: "..." Your Majesty, you shouldn't answer this. The Queen
Mother coughed heavily at this time, signaling Emperor Jingli to pay attention to the occasion.
Emperor Jingli's words made Concubine Xian jealous, and she was even more unwilling in her heart. Concubine Xian said, "Your Majesty, you can't just believe what Concubine Xi said just because you favor Concubine Xi. This is unfair to me and the others."
"Concubine Xian——"
"Your Majesty." Liao Qingqing called out again.
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing again.
Liao Qingqing said calmly, "I can prove my innocence."
Prove my innocence?
Concubine Liang and Concubine Xian felt a little nervous. They all knew that although Liao Qingqing seemed lazy, she was actually very smart. It was just that they did not leave any clues in today's incident, so Liao Qingqing could not prove herself even if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, they relaxed again.
Let's see how Liao Qingqing makes jokes.
Emperor Jingli looked like "Be good, you step back, let me do it.
" Liao Qingqing said again, "I really can."
Emperor Jingli had no choice but to say, "Tell me, how do you prove your innocence?"
The author has something to say: -Emperor
Jingli: I've prepared it, let me do it!
Liao Qingqing: No, I'll do it!
Emperor Jingli: Then I'll be the technical instructor.
Liao Qingqing: =口=!
