Chapter 168: A Huge Conspiracy
Chapter 168 Great Conspiracy
Haiyu looked at the queen with a strange expression, as if to tell some grievances, but she was stared back by the queen's eyes, and Haiyu cried.
"This servant fell so bad because she framed my concubine, not because I wanted to do this to her. Chu Haiyu, why don't you tell the people present what you have done? If you dare to lie, you know what I will do!"
After Li Meiren finished speaking, the maid who knelt on the ground kowtowed repeatedly and sobbed and said incomplete words. Li Meiren was a little anxious. She grabbed her bun and forced her to raise her head. Li Meiren roared at her and said, "You bitch, why don't you call out what you did? What's the trick now? Don't think that the empress dowager and the emperor can't find your mastermind behind the scenes, and you forget that I still hold your handle in my hand. If you don't say anything, I will let the emperor order you to arrest.
She said that in the end, Li Meiren almost spoke close to Chu Haiyu's ear, because she still didn't want the emperor to be punished with her. This maidservant still had some effect.
"The maidservant... The maidservant knows the guilt, and asks the empress dowager to pay the crime. The maidservant is willing to say that she framed Li Meiren. The maidservant has recruited all, but she also asked the queen to say good words for the maidservant and keep the maidservant a small life. The maidservant has an old mother, and there are brothers and sisters who need to be taken care of by the maidservant. Please beg the queen."
Chu Haiyu's begging was not the master. Now the empress dowager was present, but she went to beg the queen to help her say good words. Suddenly, everyone at the scene began to suspect the queen.
The queen was anxious. How could this maid hold her thigh and kick it out? The blood on Chu Hai** was still flowing down, and the wounds on her body had been endured for a long time. She was almost out of breath by this kick. After she fell down, she was a little powerless and couldn't get up at all.
"The maidservant... only begging... the queen to help the maidservant... to plead guilty, and the maidservant has no one else...please." After Chu Haiyu said these words, she immediately fainted.
Li Meiren said with disgust, "What a useless maidservant. She hasn't testified for me yet. What's the use of keeping you?"
After saying this, Li Meiren turned her head to look at Empress Hongjin and found a reassuring expression on Hongjin's face, so she sneered and said, "What is the queen doing so proud? Don't you think we can't see the joke if a subordinate faints?
Queen Hongjin was fearless at this time and said happily as if there was no stumbling block, "Sister, how can we say this? Didn't we come so far to see your sister's jokes!"
As the saying goes, it is three women in one play, but in ancient times, it is estimated that a woman could hold the whole audience. The people present were so annoyed that they almost left.
"I don't waste time with the queen. I said I wanted to expose the most vicious woman in the harem. Naturally, I want to count out all your sins." With a trace of hatred on her face, Li Meiren turned her head and said to everyone, "Chu Haiyu, who I asked my servants to drag here before, is the eyeliner placed by the queen. If it hadn't been for that bitch, I wouldn't have end up like this."
After Li Meiren finished speaking, the people present knew why the maid would plead with the queen just now. It turned out that it was because of this matter.
"Nonsense! How can I arrange eyeliner in your palace? Do you think you will pose a threat to me? You look down on yourself too much!"
Empress Hongjin's reaction was fierce, and the people present did not know whether Li Meiren wronged her before she had this reaction or she was guilty.
"Why is the queen so excited? Didn't the people present notice that Chu Haiyu begged the queen to plead for her just now? Dare to ask my maid not to plead directly like the empress dowager, but why did she come to you directly? Don't you still see the truth of the matter?"
Li Meiren's every sentence poked everyone's ideas and grasped them very well. She knew how to pull everyone's attention back to Queen Hongjin again and again, which made everyone suspicious of the queen from the beginning.
When the queen saw everyone questioning her, she looked at Chu Haiyu on the ground in a panic and knew that Chu Haiyu had fainted and could not suddenly wake up. She said seriously, "Just kidding, this palace is the person in charge of the harem by the emperor, and also a person who can justice for all the maids and father-in-law, if your maid is in your palace. If she is wronged, won't she come and ask me to help plead? Your concubine must have done something to your maid to be so wronged and begged me. You still have the face to accuse me. Seeing that I don't punish you as the mother-in-law, you don't know whether you are right or wrong.
The queen had the impulse to fight with Li Meiren at any time, but because the empress dowager stood aside with the emperor, she did not jump on, and Li Meiren was also the same impulse as the queen. Usually, she was spoiled by the emperor to beruly and capricious. If it hadn't for Mo Qingcheng's sudden entry into the palace, Hong Yu would have pointed to her nose in front of her. A chance to scold.
"What a mother-in-law? You are the master of the house on the left and the other on the right. Then you said that you asked Chu Haiyu to come to my palace to observe me secretly, and sent me a musk bag to test whether I was pregnant, and deliberately sent a bowl of porridge to kill me. What on earth is your intention?
Li Meiren knows that it is difficult for others to believe her if she doesn't tell the truth. After all, she is already a liar in front of everyone.
However, Li Meiren has not had much conflict with the queen Hongjin since the day she entered the palace, and it is even more likely that she will cause the queen to kill her. However, she lied that during her pregnancy, the queen did something that frightened her.
"Li Xier, do you have any evidence?" When the Empress Dowager heard how the dialogue rose to the topic of playing with her life, she became very disgusted with Li Xier.
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't ask me, I will tell you the story so that you can see the queen clearly."
No one answered Li Meiren's words. The Empress Dowager did not believe that Hongjin would kill people at all, and Hongjin was so scared by Li Meiren's previous words that he couldn't make a sound. Now her face turned pale and stunned.
"I was not feeling well a few days ago and told a sister that my sister saw that I was favored and the symptoms were very similar to pregnancy. She congratulated me on being pregnant with a prince. I was naturally arrogant when I was excited. Almost all the servants who walked around the palace knew that I said that I was pregnant with the prince, but he However, I didn't believe it. I was so angry that I went to see the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor said that I was just physically unwell caused by the recent climate change, which was not a big problem, but I have boasted about how to take this Haikou. I planned to deceive everyone that I was pregnant with a dragon, so that everyone would not say that I could completely catch it behind my back. Live in the heart of the emperor.
Li Meiren thought for a moment and continued: "But the plan often can't keep up with the changes. Before I implemented it, Mo Qingcheng came to the palace, and she instantly took away the emperor's favor, which delayed the plan. But a few days later, I felt that it was inappropriate. The emperor would not come back to me, which made me hate Mo Qingcheng very much, so I implemented the plan, and the emperor came to see me once soon. I told the emperor about my pregnancy with a tentative mind, but the emperor was very nervous that the Empress Dowager would pay attention to me and asked the emperor to leave Mo Qingcheng and not let me tell the matter to the public. I became more and more annoyed, but I had no choice but to spread some news. Finally, the emperor told the Empress Dowager because he helped Mo Qingcheng exempt himself. About my pregnancy."
Shen Muchen remembered that at that time, he and the empress dowager were indeed discussing the concubine and were agreed by the empress dowager, and then they were told by the empress dowager and forced to reproduce her children quickly to tell about Li Meiren's pregnancy.
Beauty Li continued: "I was pregnant to compete for favor, and the emperor not only did not spoil me, but also stopped me because of Mo Qingcheng. In those days, I was very sad, not only because I hated Mo Qingcheng, but also because I and the emperor were also husband and wife, which was not as good as the status of the next cousin in the emperor's heart. Emperor... You... It's really cruel!"
After saying so much, Li Meiren finally said what she wanted to say most in her heart. Shen Muchen heard her say this and carefully examined what had happened to him at that time. He knew that Li Meiren was happy with her child, but she could not avoid trying to do everything she could to protect the city, and what she had done before. Everything... That's all. In short, there is only one person in my heart, and it's okay for those people to give up.
"Later, I thought that since the emperor likes Mo Qingcheng so much, I wanted to make Mo Qingcheng unhappy, but before I took action, the other party had already taken action, but I didn't know until that day that Mo Qingcheng was not my enemy, but the queen!"
Beauty Li cried and laughed for a while. Now she is looking at Hong Jin with a smile. Hong Jin saw the embarrassed Li Meiren and took a small step back from her in her mind, but immediately Hong Jin's face was still smiling. One person's makeup was gorgeous and the other was embarrassed, which was obvious.
"Beauty Li, you are so stupid. Do you think your enemy is me? You are bloody! I might as well tell you that I haven't competed for favor with anyone. I just want to be my own queen and assist the emperor. Do you think everyone is as busy competing for favor as you? Are you naive?"
"The queen is so bold. Why did you frame me when you were so open-minded? No... You're not framed. You just want to kill me, because I'm your thorn, and so is Mo Qingcheng. You just want to deal with Mo Qingcheng, but I have become cannon fodder.
This is getting farther and farther. Shen Muchen was angry when he heard the name of Mo Qingcheng. He also looked at the queen and wanted to hear an explanation from the queen.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is not as bad as Li Meiren thought. I haven't done anything to Mo Qingcheng at all. All this is nonsense. Please don't believe it."
"Do you think I will still trust any of you? You are so disappointing to me!"
Shen Muchen can't tolerate anyone saying a word about Mo Qingcheng. After all, his efforts today are just to completely grab Mo Qingcheng from Shen Mushu's hands...
