Chapter 251 God's Will
When Concubine Wang heard Shen Qing's voice, she looked straight at him. Her originally confused eyes were filled with hatred after she saw Shen Qing.
Concubine Wang had no idea that she was being plotted against. She only remembered that she was drunk and behaved inappropriately in front of the emperor. Why did she drink to drown her sorrows? Wasn't it because of Shen Qing?
It was originally just a small matter, but because what happened afterwards was irreversible, this person took root in her heart and became a demon.
Now see Shen Qing.
Shen Qing's appearance was even more beautiful than what Concubine Wang had known before.
At the beginning, Shen Qing was just a good man, younger than she is now. In more than two years, her appearance has not changed much, but step by step, her eyebrows and eyes have become more delicate, and her dress has become more luxurious. Such a face suddenly appeared in front of Concubine Wang.
Concubine Wang suddenly remembered that when she was standing with Shen Qing in the imperial garden, the emperor saw Shen Qing and didn't pay any attention to her at all, and then he summoned Shen Qing to sleep with him.
"It's you! If it weren't for you, the emperor would not look at me! He will!" As she spoke, she looked as if she was going to pounce on Hua Chenqing and grab his face.
The servant who was holding down Lady Wang was caught off guard and almost couldn't hold her down. When she struggled, she moved and Chen Qing appeared before her.
She asked Chunhua to support her, and Chunhua was startled and helped her back away.
In fact, the two servants immediately pinned the man down, and Concubine Wang was just struggling on the ground.
From Xuanyuan Ling's angle, it looked like Shen Qing was frightened. He clenched his fists: "How dare you!"
The two who were pressing him broke out in cold sweat.
Zhao Hai immediately arranged two more people to hold Concubine Wang down, and this time she really couldn't move at all.
Shen Qing turned around and walked up to Xuanyuan Ling: "Your Majesty, hearing her words reminds me of an old story."
"What?"
"She just said, 'It's not that your emperor would look at me.' If all the concubines in the harem were there, she would definitely not hold such a grudge. It must be that when there were only a few people around, the emperor didn't look at her, so she kept thinking about him. I still remember that I once ran into Concubine Wang in the imperial garden, and then I met the emperor together with Concubine Wang."
Xuanyuan Ling really didn't remember this incident, or rather, he didn't remember Concubine Wang. He had indeed run into Shen Qing in the Imperial Garden several times.
Chen Qing said: "After I met the emperor by chance, he came to Zhaohua Palace. Later, when Concubine Wang looked at me, I remembered that she had some hostility. Not long after, Concubine Wang went crazy."
Yes, it was that unforgettable incident where the emperor was almost molested.
"Is this really true?" Xuanyuan Ling couldn't have imagined it, it's just like this?
"Perhaps she blamed me for her lack of favor, and that's why she said I was the one who harmed her. Your Majesty, please understand."
Xuanyuan Ling thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.
In this case, this matter was originally directed at Chen Qing, but Lady Yi was unlucky and encountered her. If she was not pregnant, she would have been frightened, but she was pregnant and the child was gone.
"Here is the servant who is guarding Lady Wang! Bring him up."
Since Concubine Wang was able to escape, then naturally none of the servants who had been watching her could escape either. They were all taken away for interrogation. Zhao Hai immediately ordered someone to bring all those servants up.
When these servants saw Xuanyuan Ling begging for mercy, they were really scared. The leader was basically desperate. Seeing Xuanyuan Ling shaking so hard that he wet his pants, he said, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I didn't know that there were fireworks in front today. I was blinded by greed and watched with others. I really didn't know that Concubine Wang would run out and bump into Concubine Yi. Your Majesty, please spare me."
Everyone else also gave the same statement without even a single different date.
Shen Qing looked at these people, and then looked at Concubine Wang. Well, a madman's words cannot be counted, and a group of people who know nothing at a glance, indeed did not leave any trace at all.
Chu Linglong felt dizzy as she watched these people, so she went to look at Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling said: "Take him away for re-interrogation."
One accident, two accidents, he really didn't believe it, but if it was said that the Queen benefited from the loss of Concubine Yu's child, and now that Chu Linglong has lost her child, it is hard to tell who has benefited the most.
Even if Xuanyuan Ling felt that the queen had problems, the queen had been living a stable life for quite some time, raising the fourth prince. She didn't even know whether the baby in Chu Linglong's belly was a boy or a girl, so why would she take the risk of getting rid of it? This was irrational.
But if it was directed at Shen Qing...
Xuanyuan Ling suddenly looked at Chen Qing.
There was nothing visible on her face at the moment, not even any fear, but she was so scared when she looked at the fireworks. He had never seen her so scared before. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ling's eyes darkened.
Zhao Hai took him away for interrogation again, and the result was still the same.
Xuanyuan Ling went to see the queen.
The queen didn't dare to say anything. She didn't even dare to say, "Poor Concubine Yi, she was harmed by Concubine Wang who mistook the wrong person." That was all a story for the future. She really couldn't say anything at this moment. She couldn't involve Shen Qing at all, otherwise it would arouse the emperor's suspicion. In front of the emperor, she still had to protect Shen Qing.
"Your Majesty, it seems that these servants neglected their duties and harmed the royal heir. I think they should be severely punished." She didn't mention Shen Qing at all.
Shen Qing was looking at the queen's costume, and she just stood there and said nothing.
Xuanyuan Ling made a direct ruling: "All those who guarded Concubine Wang will be executed. Concubine Wang who killed the emperor's heir will be caned to death. The guards on duty who failed to detect Concubine Wang will all be caned 30 times as a warning to others. The servants who carried the sedan chair will all be caned 50 times. Her father who failed to teach his daughter well will be dismissed and exiled as a warning to others."
After he finished speaking, he said to Chu Linglong: "You are still weak, go and rest well first."
What else could Chu Linglong say? The emperor had already made the decision, so what else could she ask for? After all, Concubine Wang was crazy, and everyone knew that the words of a madman could not be trusted. Even if she felt that this matter was wrong, she really couldn't express any doubts.
She had no choice but to leave, but she was carried away with a very bad look on her face.
Concubine Zhou did not leave just now, and now she said goodbye to Chu Linglong. Her face was a little pale at the moment. She recalled that time, and now looking at Chu Linglong, it seemed as if she saw herself back then.
It was the same with the incident in the Imperial Garden. Someone pleaded guilty and the incident seemed like an accident. Now Chu Linglong is so similar to her back then.
No matter how you look at it, this incident was caused by Concubine Wang going crazy due to jealousy and hatred. She ran out and rushed towards her enemy when she got the chance, but because she was crazy, she could not recognize people, so she bumped into Chu Linglong.
When she called Chu Linglong that time ago, she felt sick in her heart, as if there was a thorn that had never fallen off. Strangely, looking at Chu Linglong's current appearance, she felt a complicated feeling in her heart, but in this complexity, she actually felt a sense of relief.
She had dragged her into the water, and now she was experiencing the same pain as she had felt before. What was this? Was this God's will?
