Chapter 248 Utilizing to the Extreme

Two days later, when Yun Qin was finally able to get out of bed, the eunuch finally confessed.

The person who gave himself up was surprising but not that surprising.

It was Xu who agreed.

In order to review Xu's agreement, Yun Qin naturally had to be present, and she went to Fengyi Palace regardless of Rong Xin's dissuasion.

It was already evening. When Yun Qin arrived, the lights in Fengyi Palace had already been lit and the hall was brightly lit.

Not only her, but everyone else came too, except Concubine Shen.

And Xu

Danying was kneeling in the hall, and kneeling behind her was the eunuch. There were no visible injuries on his body, but one could smell the blood on him as soon as one got close.

The methods used by the Ministry of Punishment are much more sophisticated than before.

Seeing her come in, the Queen frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" Then she said to Lanying, "Hurry up and prepare a soft cushion for Xipin."

Huo Jinchi also frowned slightly, but he was not surprised. If she didn't come, she wouldn't be Yun Qin.

After all, it was related to Kong Cainü, and perhaps also to the person who caused Ah Jing's blindness, so she had to come and listen.

After not seeing each other for two days, he looked at people with a greedy look in his eyes.

The reason why I didn't go to see her was not only because we were still acting, but also because I knew that if I went, she would not be able to rest well, so I simply didn't go.

Before anyone noticed that his eyes were different, Huo Jinchi had already retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Danying who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

The interrogation was already halfway through when the eunuch had just identified Xu Daying in court.

At this time, Xu Danying's face still showed shock, as if he had not expected that the eunuch would identify half of him, and he was completely in disbelief.

Hearing Huo Jinchi's question, she quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, I didn't do it. It was him who framed me!"

Like a headless fly, she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Qin who had just sat down, and asked loudly: "Is it you? Did you instruct him to frame me?"

Seeing her like this, Yun Qin raised her eyebrows slightly. She really looked like she was unaware of the situation.

But why was she so determined to pin this incident on herself at Changbokgung Palace?

"You still want to blame others!" the queen shouted, and then threw a stack of papers in front of her, angrily saying: "Look at the eunuch's confession for yourself. He said that it was Cai Jing, the maid next to you, who personally handed the bag of pebbles to her!"

Xu Danying looked as if he had been struck by lightning again. When he came to his senses, he was so shocked that he shouted, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could it be Cai Jing? I never asked her to do such a thing!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized the problem and immediately said, "Where's Cai Jing? Call her out. It must be that eunuch who is making random accusations. She definitely didn't do such a thing!"

Seeing that she was still trying to make excuses, the queen couldn't help but glance at the emperor.

Huo Jinchi said calmly: "Bring the person up."

Soon Cai Jing was dragged up. Her body was not as good looking as the eunuch's. Her whole body was covered in blood, and it was obvious that her back was beaten to pieces.

Xiao Dezi also came in with her.

"Your Majesty, she has confessed, and what she said is exactly the same as what the eunuch said. She was the one who gave him the pebble, and she also confessed that it was Xu Danying who ordered her to do so."

After he finished speaking, he presented his bloody confession with both hands.

Xu An stepped forward to take it and handed it to the emperor, not forgetting to give him a look of approval.

Yun Qin watched from the side with a slight frown on her brows. She had not expected that all the dirty work would be done by Xiao Dezi.

But how could she know that Xu An had seen Xiao Dezi's cruelty, and he was just knowing how to appoint the right person to the right position.

Xu Danying was not in the mood to think about anything else. After being shocked, he didn't care whether Caijing lived or died. He reached out to hit her. "I treat you well every day. Why did you frame me? You bastard, bastard!"

Then he burst into tears, saying that she was lying and that he was being wronged!

In this situation, there are bound to be people who take advantage of the situation.

Fang Danying covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said, "No wonder. On the day when Concubine Shen gave birth, Xu Danying tried every means to make people suspect Concubine Xi."

As she spoke, she glanced at Nie Danying and said, "Nie Danying seems to agree as well. Could he know something?"

"What's so good about Fang Danying now?" Nie Danying gave her a cold look.

Fang Danying was not at all flustered, and said with a smile: "I was just expressing my doubts, not like Nie Danying who was in a hurry to convict Concubine Xi."

"You!" Nie Danying was already in the wrong, so naturally he couldn't argue with her.

Fang Dying snorted and said to Xu Dying on the ground, "You better think it through and don't take everything on yourself."

Her words were meant to pressure Nie Danying to do something, and she had never thought that Xu Danying would actually give someone away, but she gave Xu Danying an invisible reminder.

Xu Danying's expression changed rapidly. He glanced at Cai Jing, who was crying in pain and blood beside him. He seemed to have made up his mind and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I really didn't do this. On the day when Concubine Shen gave birth, I wanted to pin the blame on Concubine Xi, but I was instructed by someone else! It was Concubine De, it must be her. She bribed Cai Jing who was by my side and wanted to pin this matter on me!"

At the end, her voice changed in tone with anger.

No one expected that Xu Danying would eventually reveal Concubine De, knowing that she was still under house arrest.

Only Yun Qin didn't feel surprised, but...

She looked at Xu Danying and had a bad feeling in her heart.

Since we have mentioned Concubine De, we have to bring her over and question her.

Concubine De arrived very quickly, wearing a grass-green dress. After not seeing her for a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. The clothes felt empty on her and she looked emaciated.

As soon as she came in, she knelt down, tears falling without her opening her mouth. She cried so hard that her eyes were wet, and she looked so pitiful.

Yun Qin almost applauded her.

She knew that Xu Danying would summon her to the palace if something happened, so she had made preparations early on, right?

Xu Danying was really used to the fullest!

Yun Qin couldn't help but glance at Huo Jinchi and found that his aesthetic taste was quite consistent. Those he had favored, including Kong Cainü, who had successfully intercepted his favor several times, all cried with tears in their eyes and looked delicate and timid.

The way Concubine De behaved today was clearly just like Kong Cainü!

Huo Jinchi was so sensitive that he naturally felt that Yun Qin was looking at him with sarcasm. Although Yun Qin had already looked away when he looked back, he could clearly see the sneer on the corner of her mouth that she had not yet had time to retract.

Although he didn't understand why, his scalp tingled instinctively, and he wished someone could quickly cover Concubine De's mouth so that she would stop whimpering.

"Stop crying!" Huo Jinchi said coldly, "You should know why I asked you to come here, but you still don't tell the truth!"

His cold voice made Concubine De choke slightly. She didn't know whether to cry or not.

Doesn't the emperor have any sympathy for her now?
