Ning Wanyin's fingers hidden under her sleeves clenched unconsciously.
She has always known that no one can win all the time. Even if she is at a disadvantage, she will find a way to fight back.
Now the most important thing is...
How to make your loss not so complete and leave a little room for maneuver.
Ning Wanyin thought of more than a dozen countermeasures in her mind in an instant.
The next moment, Helian Qi had already opened the triangular talisman, unfolded the talisman, and laughed instead of getting angry:
"Li Rao, are you kidding me? It says here that I wish you a long life and good health."
"What?" Li Rao couldn't believe it.
Helian Qi held the unfolded talisman in his hand, with the side with the writing facing everyone:
"Is it me who can't read, or are you illiterate?"
Everyone was shocked.
This is indeed a talisman for praying for peace.
It clearly states a prayer to the emperor.
"This is impossible... That's right, he must have been changed, he must have been changed." Li Rao's face was pale.
Ning Wanyin has entered the palace...
It's normal for Song Chengyi to throw away the marriage talisman.
When Li Rao thought of this, his face turned pale.
Song Chengyi was really shocked this time. How come the marriage talisman he prayed for turned into a peace talisman?
But he reacted quickly...
"I wish Your Majesty a long life and good health. I am loyal to Your Majesty. Concubine Ning and I are innocent. I have been wronged!" Song Chengyi kowtowed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Wanyin did not relax, and her fists hidden in her sleeves were still clenched tightly.
Because she doubted this amulet...
It’s the one you asked for.
The prayer words on the amulets are usually written by high monks. If you don’t write them yourself, the amulets you get at Bifeng Temple will all look exactly the same.
But at this delicate moment, it was just too coincidental.
Just by chance, Song Chengyi also asked the emperor for a peace amulet? Then why didn't he just open it and prove his innocence?
Instead, he was panic-stricken and at a loss.
The emperor was sitting behind the desk, with a wide dragon throne blocking his left and right sides, so taking out the amulet from the sachet he carried with him would not attract any attention.
Just hold the amulet in your palm in advance, and then pretend to take it out of the bag...
It was covered by sleeves, leaving no trace.
The emperor actually helped cover it up?
This may seem strange at first, but on second thought, it is very possible.
Today is His Majesty's birthday. In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the emperor absolutely does not want to admit the accusation that his concubine had an affair, even if it is true.
It will definitely be proven to be false first.
You can then sentence him to death on other charges afterwards.
"Li Rao slandered the concubines and court officials. His crime is extremely serious and he shall be sentenced to death. Those who forge false testimony shall also be sentenced to death." Helian Qi said coldly.
Li Rao was still unwilling to accept it and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is all true, it's true..."
Li Rao was dragged away by the imperial guards.
Master Duan was telling the truth, so he was spared death. The rest of the followers and maids were dragged away and sentenced to death.
This turmoil made everyone in the harem dizzy, with one wave of turmoil after another.
There was absolutely no chance to interrupt.
At this time, Xue Meiren came back to her senses and said with a look of doubt:
"Since there is a peace amulet in the brocade bag, why doesn't Lord Song just open it to prove his innocence? Instead, he looks flustered and causes misunderstanding."
Tang Miaoling also came back to her senses and immediately retorted, "Isn't it normal to be shocked by being falsely accused? Your Majesty has already proved that my cousin is innocent, so what does Lady Xue mean by saying these words?"
"I just feel a little suspicious." Lady Xue's eyes were slightly cold. Who was Tang Miaoling to dare to speak to her like that?
Wei Yingya seized the opportunity to speak up for Ning Wanyin: "Your Majesty has already solved the case, but Lady Xue still has doubts. Do you think Your Majesty handled it inappropriately?"
Lady Xue became even angrier.
Your current background is not even as good as Miss Tang’s, so you are even less worthy of talking to me!
But when Wei Yingya mentioned the emperor, she could only say, "I just said it casually. Your Majesty is naturally wise."
"Concubine Ning was wrongly accused. I have investigated the case thoroughly. Anyone who dares to make up rumors about this matter will be sentenced to death." Helian Qi said coldly.
Lady Xue shut up completely.
…
After the longevity banquet.
Helian Qi went to Ganxin Palace to handle government affairs.
Ning Wanyin immediately went to pay her respects and knelt down to pay her respects:
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you——"
Helian Qi had an expressionless face, showing no emotion, and threw the brocade bag to her:
"Look—"
He had just opened it and looked inside, and there was indeed a marriage talisman inside.
Ning Wanyin picked up the brocade bag and saw that on the marriage talisman, every stroke was written with the wish that she and Song Chengyi would have a happy marriage and a long lasting happiness.
She was right.
The countermeasures she had just prepared flashed through Ning Wanyin's mind in an instant.
If this marriage talisman was turned out in public...
Ning Wanyin will definitely insist on framing him.
Then he pretended to be dead to prove his innocence, and stabbed himself in the heart an inch away, leaving himself with only one breath.
Only when you are in danger can you survive.
She was so chaste that the world's suspicions would surely be suppressed by 70% or 80%. The emperor would also spare her life and send her to the cold palace instead of executing her.
In this way, you can make a comeback.
But now they are confronting each other privately...
The emperor changed the talisman in advance, and it was obvious that he, like her, saw through everything from Song Chengyi's confessional reaction.
Instead of arguing that it is a frame-up, it is better to be honest and say that you really know nothing.
Ning Wanyin pretended to be just the right amount of shocked and kowtowed to the ground:
