In Jingxi Palace.
Concubine Shu sat in front of the Buddha statue, beating the wooden fish with a relaxed mood.
"No matter how cunning Ning Wanyin is, she will not be able to escape this time." Concubine Shu smiled:
"Man proposes, God disposes. I didn't expect Song Qingzhi to be pregnant, and I didn't expect her to be so cruel to me..."
"It's like hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by ten thousand."
If it was a trap, it might leave clues and allow Ning Wanyin to find out the truth.
But Song Qingzhi's move was so unexpected and left no trace.
Even if Ning Wanyin wanted to find evidence, where could she find it?
Although Concubine Zhuang was the only witness, the relationship between Concubine Zhuang and Ning Wanyin was delicate, so the emperor did not trust her.
"This time, Ning Wanyin is doomed. I didn't expect that she would fall into Song Qingzhi's hands. It seems that I underestimated Song Qingzhi before. She looks self-righteous like a white lotus, but when it comes to harming others, she can even sacrifice her own children. She is a vicious person." Concubine Shu judged slowly.
She said that Ning Wanyin had enemies everywhere in the palace and would not live long.
For three days in a row.
The emperor did not come to the harem, but in the previous court, memorials criticizing Ning Wanyin flew to the imperial platform like snowflakes.
If it is an ordinary matter, the former dynasty cannot make irresponsible comments about the harem.
But for plotting to murder the royal heir, everyone would blame Ning Wanyin.
Helian Qi asked the Criminal Justice Department to investigate this case over and over again, but failed to find the second suspected murderer.
The situation of the previous dynasty cannot be delayed any longer.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea..." Wang Degui came forward holding the teacup.
Helian Qi pushed away the pile of papers in front of him in annoyance. His eyes fell on the sachet hanging around his waist. He suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Your Majesty, where are you going? It's late at night, please be careful where you step..." Wang Degui hurriedly followed.
The moon is at its zenith.
Helian Qi walked to the palace gate of Lingxue Pavilion.
Most of the imprisoned concubines and palace maids were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and outside the main gate were guarded by eunuchs who were responsible for sealing the palace gate.
The eunuch guarding the palace gate was about to salute.
Helian Qi waved his hand and walked straight in.
It was autumn, and only dead branches and leaves were left in the lotus pond, creating a desolate scene.
Lingxue Pavilion is very quiet.
He walked straight to the inner hall of Lingxue Pavilion, only to see the young girl sitting in front of a painting in a daze.
She was wearing a brown nightgown, with her long black hair hanging down. She looked up at the lotus painting hanging on the wall, as quiet as a painting.
Helian Qi inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But he felt that he shouldn't feel bad. Ning Wanyin dared to commit murder on the heir to the throne, and she deserved the punishment. How could I be reluctant to let her go...
"Ning Wanyin, do you admit your guilt?" Helian Qi's voice was cold.
He was blaming Ning Wanyin.
Blame her for being ungrateful and stupid and vicious.
Blame her for making him lose her.
"Your Majesty?" Ning Wanyin turned around in surprise, looking at him with surprise and joy, "Your Majesty still came to see me, I know that Your Majesty doesn't believe that I would do such a thing."
Helian Qi was dazzled by the smile on her face.
He also thought that Ning Wanyin would also ask why you didn't believe me.
But she said with a happy face, I know you believe me.
"I only believe in evidence." Helian Qi looked inexplicably unnatural.
"Your Majesty, if you believe in me, you will naturally be able to help me get evidence." Ning Wanyin smiled lightly, not worried at all.
Helian Qi frowned. What did she mean by that? Did she think I would perjure myself?
"I have thought about it and found a way to prove my innocence. I have been thinking these days that even if I can prove my innocence, I still need your majesty's help. I didn't know if your majesty would come to see me... Now that your majesty is here, I feel relieved." Ning Wanyin's eyebrows were slightly curved, her eyes full of joy.
In fact, even if Helian Qi didn't come today...
She also asked to see.
But since the emperor was here, she naturally had to praise him more.
"What do you have in mind?" Helian Qi was slightly stunned.
…
Early the next morning.
Song Qingzhi, who was lying on her sickbed, was invited to the shrine of the God Ji.
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me?" Song Qingzhi asked in confusion after paying her respects.
She has been very sad these days.
However, all the news from the previous dynasty was good news.
Ning Wanyin must die this time.
Helian Qi looked indifferent and gestured to the priest beside him.
The priest immediately stepped forward and said:
"Three days ago, your lord fell from the high platform, interrupting the sacrificial ceremony. There was also blood stain, which was disrespectful to the gods. However, your lord is not to blame for this, and the gods will not punish you. But since the incident was caused by your lord, please burn incense to the God of Millet and apologize. After this incident, Your Majesty will choose a good time to offer sacrifices to the God of Millet again."
Song Qingzhi suddenly realized that it was for a grand sacrificial ceremony.
"Then I wonder how Your Majesty plans to deal with Ning Wanyin?" Song Qingzhi asked.
"I will naturally punish him according to his crime. But before that, offering sacrifices to the God of Millet concerns the fate of the country and should not be taken lightly. You burn incense first." Helian Qi said in a deep voice.
Song Qingzhi felt relieved. It seemed that the emperor would soon deal with Ning Wanyin...
Wang Degui quickly brought the incense.
Song Qingzhi knelt in front of the statue and recited the words of worship that the priest had just taught her: "The heaven is above, the earth is below, and the gods are witnesses. The sacrificial ceremony was interrupted because of the sinners who murdered the believer. Now I pray to the God of Ji, asking him to forgive Dayan's inadequate etiquette and accept Dayan's sacrifice again!"
After saying that, Song Qingzhi kowtowed three times, picked up three incense sticks, and inserted them into the incense burner on the altar.
But no one expected...
After the three incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner, they all went out.
The priest's face changed slightly, "This is... God Ji refuses to accept Concubine Song's incense..."
