Helian Qi's face was as gloomy as water. He picked up the envelope and opened it.
This was indeed a letter written by Song Chengyi, except that at the end of the last page, there was an extra sentence saying that the inkstone was given to Ning Wanyin.
This was written by Song Qingzhi imitating Song Chengyi's handwriting.
They, brother and sister, often practiced calligraphy together. She was very familiar with Song Chengyi's handwriting, and her imitations were 90% similar, making it difficult to tell the real from the fake.
If it weren’t for the inkstone, it wouldn’t be in Ning Wanyin’s hands at all.
This letter is the physical evidence, and with Song Qingzhi and his servant as witnesses, it can be said that there is both physical and human evidence...
"Song, did you see with your own eyes Ning Wanyin holding the inkstone and missing your brother?" Helian Qi suppressed the anger in his heart and glanced at Song Qingzhi coldly.
Song Qingzhi thought that Helian Qi was so angry because of Ning Wanyin, and a little bit of joy rose in her heart.
Very good!
She knew that no man could tolerate his woman having an affair with another man.
She finally managed to bring Ning Wanyin down!
Although she felt a little guilty towards her brother, her hatred towards Ning Wanyin prevailed. Song Qingzhi said affirmatively:
"This inkstone was collected by my brother when he was young. I often saw it on the antique shelf before I entered the palace. I am very familiar with it and I have never made a mistake."
"My brother treasures this inkstone and has never been willing to use it. I guess this item means a lot to both of them."
This statement was exaggerated, and it was simply fabricated that Ning Wanyin and Song Chengyi had known each other for many years...
"How dare you!" Helian Qi was furious and threw the letter in his hand at Song Qingzhi:
"You have deceived the emperor, slandered the imperial concubine, and murdered your own brother. You deserve to be put to death for being so disloyal and unrighteous. Wang Degui, pass the order to execute Song!"
He didn't want Song Qingzhi to live even a moment longer!
Song Qingzhi's expression changed instantly, "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth..."
"Tell me the truth? The box of gifts you gave her is all in my hands, including the inkstone you mentioned." Helian Qi said coldly.
Song Qingzhi was incredulous, "How is it possible..."
Generally speaking, the gifts given by concubines to the emperor were prepared by themselves. Who would help other concubines and attract the emperor's attention?
Moreover, giving gifts to the emperor is something that requires careful consideration. Not just anything can be given, and the emperor will not accept everything.
If the gift was inappropriate, at best the person and the gift would be returned, at worst the emperor would be angered.
So, why would Ning Wanyin be willing to give her things to the emperor? And what excuse did she give that made the emperor accept it?
This... is simply unimaginable.
Song Qingzhi never expected this and was stunned for a moment.
Wang Degui was also shocked and quickly sent eunuchs to drag Song Qingzhi away.
"Your Majesty...how can you be so cruel? I am truly sincere to you..." Song Qingzhi struggled and looked at Helian Qi with tears in her eyes.
When he wanted to deal with Ning Wanyin, he first imprisoned her and then investigated her.
Why is it my turn...
The emperor executed her without showing any mercy!
The emperor was indeed partial to her, partial to her in every way!
"Drag him away!" Helian Qi said impatiently.
Song Qingzhi was dragged away in despair by two eunuchs, along with her maid Shi'er, and the master and servant were taken away.
This was handled too quickly.
As a result, Ning Wanyin just heard about the commotion outside the Yonghe Palace, and just after changing her clothes, she came out, only to see Song Qingzhi being dragged away...
Ning Wanyin's face showed some doubts, and she bowed to Helian Qifu:
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I wonder if this is...?"
"She framed you and was executed by me." There was still anger in Helian Qi's eyes.
He spared Song Qingzhi's life for the sake of the Song family's reputation, but that didn't mean she could deceive the emperor again and again.
You only have one chance.
She did not repent and became even worse. She deserves death.
Ning Wanyin was surprised at first, then looked disappointed, "I have never had any grudge against her, I didn't expect her... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight and justice for me."
"Wanwan has been wronged, you should go back and rest. I am going to attend the court. Come to Ganxin Palace for lunch at noon." Helian Qi's eyes fell on her and he felt much more relaxed.
"Yes." Ning Wanyin accepted the order.
After seeing the emperor off.
Lian Rui supported Ning Wanyin back to the bedroom and sighed, "Song Qingzhi is so mean! Fortunately, the master gave the box of gifts to His Majesty."
Ning Wanyin was very calm, she was always on guard against everyone. This was how she treated Tang Miaoling.
No matter whether others want to deal with her or not, she is always prepared.
As for Song Qingzhi framing her again, it was all within her expectations.
Ning Wanyin never thought about living in peace with Song Qingzhi.
What are you thinking about by sparing the enemy's life?
She had been waiting for Song Qingzhi to take action.
Ever since the emperor showed leniency and demoted the Song family, Ning Wanyin knew that Song Qingzhi would take revenge on her sooner or later.
She targeted me, and ended up losing her child and losing her position. Would she blame herself for being cruel?
No, of course it's easier to blame others.
Demotion is not the end, and being banished to the cold palace is not the end either. In Ning Wanyin's eyes, the game is only over when the enemy dies.
Whether there will be a second round depends on what her family does.
"Pay attention to the reaction of the Song family of the previous dynasty." Ning Wanyin ordered.
Lian Rui obeyed the order.
…
In Jingxi Palace.
Concubine Shu sat in front of the Buddha statue, beating the wooden fish leisurely.
Everything was going according to her plan, and no one could tell that she had interfered.
The most brilliant thing about layout, of course, is not that you tell someone to do something.
Instead, we use the general trend and situation to push the chess pieces onto this path.
Song Qingzhi didn't know that she had come to this point because someone was secretly fanning the flames.
