The torture methods used by the Criminal Justice Department are best at prying open hard bones.
Besides, Concubine Fang is not a tough guy.
She is ruthless, but only towards others.
As a pampered daughter, who had never received any special training as a death warrior, how could she endure being tortured with eighteen kinds of tortures by the Criminal Prison for three days and three nights?
He confessed all the bad things he had done in his life.
The eunuch Wu Mi, who was in charge of the case, interrogated the people involved one by one to ensure that all the evidence was complete, and finally presented the case file to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, after investigation, it was found that Chunliu and Chunni were both instructed by Concubine Fang. She attempted to murder Concubine Shun twice..."
The last time she instigated Chunni to murder Shunpin and frame Concubine Tang, it was also Concubine Fang's doing.
Helian Qi flipped through the case file in front of him, his face as gloomy as water.
"In addition, another case was uncovered. Concubine Fang once framed Wei in the cold palace. She burned paper money to lure Wei into committing a crime. After being found out, she framed her with a witch doll... Hong Xing has been arrested. She was bribed by Concubine Fang, and her confession was verified to be correct." Wu Mi continued to report, carefully saying:
"Fang Zhaoyi said in her confession that it was Concubine Shu who ordered her to attack Wei, but there is no evidence to prove this... Do you need Concubine Shu to cooperate in the investigation?"
Helian Qi paused and looked at Wu Mi, "The murder of Shunpin was ordered by Concubine Shu?"
"According to Concubine Fang's confession, Concubine Shu was not aware of these things." Wu Mi replied.
Helian Qi was silent for a moment, his deep eyes showing no emotion.
It is an open secret that Fang Zhaoyi is Concubine Shu's person.
It was obvious that Concubine Shu ordered her to deal with Wei Yingya, which was arranged by the Cen family.
If the royal heir is involved, Helian Qi will never let it go easily.
Since it has nothing to do with the dragon fetus and is only about Concubine Ying, and there is insufficient evidence, and the Cen family is protecting her, there will be no result in attacking Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Fang should be beaten to death, and Concubine Tang and Concubine Ying should be released." Helian Qi said slowly.
Wu Mi understood instantly that His Majesty did not intend to continue investigating Concubine Shu, so he accepted the order:
"I accept your order."
…
In Jingxi Palace.
Shufei knelt in front of the Guanyin statue with her eyes closed, holding a string of prayer beads.
Zhenzhu offered a cup of soothing tea, "Your Majesty, please have some—"
She chanted Buddha's name to cultivate her mind, but Concubine Shu's mind was very disturbed and she couldn't calm down.
"It's true that Changchun Palace has been lax, but Ning Wanyin has never been lax. Concubine Fang made a mistake and I was fooled by her." Concubine Shu opened her eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in them:
"If this woman doesn't die, it will be difficult for me to accomplish anything."
"The Xue family is useless. They have allowed her to stay so active for so long." Zhenzhu complained along with Concubine Shu's words.
Concubine Shu sneered, "How can she be so easy to deal with..."
Now she understood.
She still underestimated Ning Wanyin.
However, with so many people in the palace wanting to kill Ning Wanyin, Ning Wanyin felt like she was walking on the edge of a cliff.
One wrong move and you'll be crushed to pieces.
"The Xue family wants her dead more than I do. Let's see how the Xue family arranges it first." Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and fiddled with the rosary in her palm. She never rushed to the front, but always hid behind the scenes to make plans.
She just couldn't believe that so many people wanted to kill her.
She can continue to be rampant.
At this moment, the eunuch in charge came in quickly and reported hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, this is bad. The Criminal Department has just secretly spread the news that Concubine Fang has confessed everything and even said that you instructed her to murder Concubine Ying..."
Concubine Shu was very calm about this. "It's just her one-sided story. There's no evidence. It won't have any impact..."
"But Your Majesty will surely know..."
"I just want His Majesty to know. If you say that everything Concubine Fang did has nothing to do with me, His Majesty will not believe it. She just harmed Lady Ying, and I was just a mouthpiece. It was all arranged by the Cen family. Your Majesty doesn't need to bother with me..." A hint of sneer flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes:
"Most importantly, this will let your majesty know that Shunpin's murder had nothing to do with me."
Concubine Shu had planned everything from the beginning.
When planning to fight the enemy, one should naturally consider defeat before thinking about victory.
If Concubine Fang fails and ends up in the Criminal Court, she will confess everything.
She said what she could say directly.
As for things that the emperor couldn't know, she pretended not to know and completely denied them.
Less than a quarter of an hour passed.
The emperor's edict came down from the palace, and as expected, there was no mention of Concubine Shu.
"Everything is just as Your Majesty expected. Your Majesty is wise." Zhenzhu reported the contents of the imperial edict and flattered her.
Shu Fei knew that she would not be implicated, so she did not care too much and said calmly, "Since Lady Ying is coming back, let's arrange for her to stay next to Haitangju."
Originally, Wei Yingya was stripped of her title and position.
But since His Majesty has called her Lady Ying with the most sincere words, she will naturally return to her original position and remain Lady Ying.
Haitangju was occupied by Wei Yingshu, and Concubine Shu specially arranged for Concubine Ying to live next door to Wei Yingshu.
Let these two sisters fight slowly.
…
After returning from Linlang Palace, Shunpin was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She never expected that she almost had a miscarriage.
At the same time, he felt resentful towards Ning Wanyin. Since she had already discovered Chunliu's fault, why didn't she tell him in time?
It almost got me into trouble.
It also made the emperor dissatisfied with himself.
But if Ning Wanyin told her in advance, she might not believe it and it might even alert the enemy.
"My stomach hurts... Maybe I was too close to the pomegranate tree just now..." Shunpin looked at Ning Wanyin in panic.
Chunque angrily accused, "Ning Jieyu knew Chunliu had problems long ago, so why did she watch her deceive our queen... If there is anything wrong with our queen's body, it's all your fault!"
