Chapter 392 Maximizing Benefits

Huang Yanyu cried bitterly: "Empress Rufei, how can you turn your back on me? They all saw me and Huiyuan in contact, how can you destroy the bridge after crossing the river? Didn't you say that you wanted to alienate the relationship between the Empress and Concubine Liang, and then spread the news so that the court officials would impeach the Empress and the Emperor would be forced to depose her?"

She said it very reasonably: "I am just a palace maid. What good is there in defeating the Empress? You are different. You are a princess of Goguryeo and Empress Rufei. If the Empress falls, you have the best chance to become the Empress. Isn't that what you said?"

Stupid!

Even if Concubine Rufei really thought so, she couldn't tell her, an outsider. The more she said, the more mistakes she made.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Xinyue looked coldly: "That poison was also given to you by Concubine Ru, right?"

Huang Yanyu climbed down along the bamboo pole she gave her: "Yes, yes, yes... I am just a palace maid. Before entering the palace, I was searched by the nanny. I don't have any poison."

The implication is that Concubine Ru is different. Concubine Ru was originally a princess of a foreign race. Although she was searched before entering the palace, she was a royal princess. If she wanted to hide poison in, she had her own way.

No matter whether it was a princess of a foreign race or a concubine in the harem, she was much more capable than a little palace maid like her.

Concubine Ru opened her mouth and glared at the same time. She had never seen such a shameless person before.

In a hurry, she almost threw away the upbringing of a princess. The word "Asiba" was stuck in her throat. She wanted to curse but felt it was beneath her status.

Are all the women in Dayan's harem so blatant and liars?

She has learned something new.

"It's not me!"

Concubine Ru was so angry that she jumped up and down: "I swear it's not me, Your Majesty. Lihua came to marry with the mission of peace between the two countries, not to make enemies. My royal brother is the king of Goguryeo. Goguryeo has always followed the lead of the Great Yan Dynasty. My royal brother even regards the Emperor of Great Yan as a god. With such an upbringing, how could I possibly stir up trouble in the harem of His Majesty the Emperor of Great Yan? It is obviously this damned palace maid who is making random accusations to reduce her own guilt. I hope Your Majesty will judge and clear my name."

This flattery...

If Jiang Xinyue hadn't seen their leaders go back on their words, recognize the enemy as their father, and go both ways in the future, she almost believed it.

She knew Huang Yanyu was talking nonsense, but...

since Concubine Liang was like this, she couldn't let Concubine Liang suffer in vain. She

had to maximize the benefits.

"Whether to clear your name or find evidence that you murdered Concubine Liang, I will explain to the emperor. Now Huang Yanyu accused you of instigating her to poison, and you don't admit it, so let's throw the two of you to the Suspension Mirror Department and let them try you!"

After all that, why did they still have to go to the Suspension Mirror Department?

Huang Yanyu wanted to argue for herself, but Jiang Xinyue thought she was too stupid. If she said a few more words, it would be bad for Concubine Ru to clear her suspicion. She just gave a slight look, and Shuangjiang and Xijue twisted her hands, blocked her mouth and took her away.

"It's not me! It's really not me!"

Concubine Ru struggled: "Empress, you are taking revenge for personal reasons. You are afraid that the Emperor will favor me, so you want to kill all of me. You have such a vicious heart. My brother will never let you go if he finds out. You... "

Before she could finish her words, several maids blocked her with dirty handkerchiefs.

Tong Xiuyuan and Shi Xiuyi watched Concubine Ru being dragged away. They were so scared that they dared not speak, and even their breathing slowed down.

When Jiang Xinyue glanced at them casually, the two of them looked away in panic, not knowing what to do with their hands and feet.

Tong Xiuyuan: "Your servant... Your servant will go in to see Concubine Liang."

Shi Xiuyi: "Your servant... Your servant... I remember that I cooked porridge in the palace. I will go back to drink the porridge..."

Tong Xiuyuan grabbed her and ran inside: "You don't even have a small kitchen, what kind of porridge did you cook? Don't be too obvious, okay?" Concubine Liang

hadn't woken up yet. Doctor Hu said that she was not out of danger. This poison was very common, so common that it was available everywhere among the people. The antidote was available in the Imperial Hospital, but the dose that Concubine Liang took was a bit large, which led to such serious consequences.

This was even less like the poison that Concubine Ru would use, but it was very consistent with Huang Yanyu's identity.

No matter how rich she was, she was not a powerful family. Her family was just a merchant, and it was normal for her to go to the pharmacy to buy some ordinary poisons.

If she hadn't sorted out the storehouse for Concubine Liang that day, who would have been used with the poison?

Jiang Xinyue thought, it would probably be used to frame her.

A fool's brain circuit cannot be thought of in the same way as a normal person.

Why does she think that if she dies, she can take the throne? Do

all the concubines in this palace die?

The eldest princess sat on the edge of the bed crying. Concubine Shu and Noble Lady Ye took turns to comfort her. Only Tong Xiuyuan and Shi Xiuyi still shrunk their necks, standing in the corner, not daring to step forward.

Jiang Xinyue had a headache watching over her: "Tong Xiuyuan and Shi Xiuyi, go back first! Concubine Liang can be watched here by me."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, held hands and ran out of the door.

The eldest princess was so angry that she almost laughed: "Who asked them to come? They came here eagerly, but they didn't even come close to my mother, and were scared away again. I think they didn't come to visit my mother, but to see if my mother is dead?"

Concubine Shu sighed: "Some things are better known in our hearts."

Noble Ye nodded: "Maybe there are many voices against the Empress in the court recently, and someone is pushing them to take the throne, so they have developed thoughts that they shouldn't have."

Tong Xiuyuan was not mentioned, her father was only the Minister of Works, and Master Jing also said in the court not to force people.

Shi Xiuyi probably had an even bigger heart.

Her father had made great achievements on the battlefield, and she, the legitimate daughter, should be rewarded.

"The Empress is too overbearing. She is allowed to enjoy the flowers and moonlight with the Emperor, while others cannot even pay attention to her."

Tong Xiuyuan grabbed the branches beside the road to vent her anger: "When the incident with Concubine De happened, I thought she was a good person and would encourage her sisters to have children for the Emperor like the previous Empress did! I didn't expect that she was the only one who had children, and we all became decorations."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Shi Xiuyi touched the bracelet on her wrist: "She dared to throw even the princess of Goguryeo into the Suspended Mirror Department, what are we in her eyes? She can scold and beat us at will?"

Tong Xiuyuan suddenly stopped: "Is there no one who can deal with her? If this goes on, all of us sisters in the harem who don't flatter her will be suppressed and never stand up."

Born as the daughter of a minister, Tong Xiuyuan never felt that she was any worse than Jiang Xinyue.

She couldn't worship Jiang Xinyue like Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang.
