"No, Your Majesty, please observe clearly. In fact, the princess' horse was shocked, and this subject's daughter got on the princess's horse and subdued it together, and then the shooting happened, and this subject didn't even know that the arrow would come. Afterwards, the horse started to budge, and the princess and I fell off the horse, so …" That's why this official said that I don't dare to claim credit. Perhaps, perhaps, everything is predestined in the underworld. " When she said these words, she seemed to be in a hurry.
What she said was actually the same as what Eleven said. There was no deviation.
He asked again, "Did Consort Xuan call you from her tent the day before her accident?"
"Yes." Lian Ru Yue replied honestly.
"Why is Xuan Fei looking for you?"
"In reply to the emperor, when esteemed Empress Xuan heard that this subject had been startled while riding a horse, she sought out this subject's daughter to ask her questions. She told her daughter to be more careful, and even gave her one of them. Oh, it's the one this subject is wearing on her head." Lian Ru Yue replied honestly.
The emperor raised his eyes and saw her head swaying. She looked familiar. His finger tapped lightly on the table, causing "ka, ka, ka" sounds to ring out.
Every time he hit someone's heart.
Lian Ru Yue knelt before him with her head lowered. She seemed slightly nervous as she looked at the Emperor from time to time in fear.
"Spreading the news." Suddenly, the Emperor said.
At the same time, he also let the empress, imperial concubine, and princes in. Everyone stood by their sides, while Ru Yue continued to kneel on the ground, handcuffed.
"Elder sister …" Feng Yu took a step forward, but Feng Yu tugged on his sleeve. Feng Yu whispered, "Don't be anxious yet."
Lian Meng bit his lower lip and slowly retracted his foot. He kept staring at Lian Yue and felt his heart ache!
Not long after, Consort Xuan was also carried in. She lay on the low couch without being able to move at all. Her face and hands were swollen, and she looked like a completely different person compared to her former beautiful appearance.
Zhou Chengdi only glanced at her before turning his head to the side and clenching his fists on the back of his chair. He felt an incomparable amount of sympathy and love for this woman, but … But it could no longer be doted on day after day like it was in the past.
The empress looked coldly at the emperor's expression. Heh, this result isn't surprising at all, it's the same for men since the ancient times. It's always been like this for men to love their youth and beauty, but when their looks are gone, it's hard to even get a single glance.
"Your … Your Majesty …" She struggled to utter these two words before suddenly bursting into tears. "Your majesty, someone harmed me. Your majesty, they're trying to avenge chenqie."
"My beloved concubine, what grievances do you have? This Emperor will definitely uphold justice for you." The Emperor knew that this was the last thing he could give to this woman.
Two streams of tears slowly rolled down the face of Xuan Fei. She nodded and said, "With your words, chenqie will rest in peace even after death."
"Tell me, what exactly happened that day?" the Emperor asked.
"That day …" "I was on the hunting grounds, joking with the Xiao family's Xiao Rou, and then Lian Lian Yue and Princess Eleven rode over. Afterwards, an arrow hit my horse, and my horse was startled, throwing me to the ground. "Your majesty, the arrows and the tiger are all very strange. It's obvious that they have already been inspected. Our hunting grounds are filled with docile little animals. How could a tiger appear out of nowhere?"
"Then, in the eyes of my beloved concubine, who was the one who harmed you behind your back?" the Emperor asked again.
"Yes …" "Yes …" Xuan Fei's body couldn't move, and her eyes were like a bronze cairn as they swiveled. Her gaze slowly swept across everyone's bodies, and finally stopped on Lian Ruyue's body. Those eyes … Complicated.
Immediately, Feng Yunzheng's hand tightened and Feng Ye revealed a surprised expression, but Feng Qianyue's face was calm without any expression.
Lian Ru Yue also lifted her head and watched Xue Moyan's gaze. She didn't avoid it in the slightest.
After a long while, Consort Xuan finally shifted her gaze away from her body and stopped on the empress's body. Then, she suddenly let out a sharp cry …
Ah!" Queen! You wicked woman! You've harmed me time and time again, and now you've sent people to kill me with arrows. You're so vicious, aren't you? You are the empress, yet you cannot stop your concubine. How are you qualified to be the head of the imperial harem?
Empress?
The emperor abruptly turned his head to look at the empress — — "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu!
"Nonsense! "Nonsense!" The empress, whose face was already deathly pale, was so frightened that she stood up and scolded angrily.
"Hehe, nonsense? Did the empress feel guilty for being so agitated? While chenqie was in danger at the hunting grounds, Xu mama was in a hurry to save me, but at this moment you ordered people to beat her up for forty years. The guards wanted to save chenqie, but the empress said she wanted to send another rescue squad. Watch me being chased by a tiger!
If the empress had no selfish thoughts towards chenqie, then no matter what, it couldn't be said!
Your majesty, can you find out who was with the empress that day and see if what chenqie said is true? "
She had already used almost all of her strength to say such words with a flushed face. She feebly closed her eyes and struggled to calm her heart as she gasped for air, as if she was about to be shocked to the end. The person in charge of attending to her hurriedly walked forward and patted her chest.
This was something Feng Qianyue had instructed Consort Xuan to say because he had carefully investigated every single detail of what had happened that day and discovered that the Empress had twice stopped Consort Xuan's actions of saving her —
Then, he had a possibility to push the mastermind of this matter onto this unlucky Queen. If he made sure that Xuanfei wasn't found out and Xuanfei wasn't thoroughly investigated, then his danger would be resolved!
Right now, nothing was important. The important thing was that his relationship with Concubine Xuan absolutely could not be revealed.
"Your majesty, your majesty has made a clear observation. You absolutely must not listen to the words of Consort Xuan." The empress fell to her knees with a thump as she tried to justify herself, "It happened so suddenly. The place chenqie was sitting was quite a distance away from the hunting grounds. The tigers were moving so quickly, chenqie … chenqie can't control them either."
"Is that so?" Consort Xuan struggled to open her eyes again and said, "Then after I broke my waist, the empress took the opportunity to change everyone around me into her own people. How do you explain that?"
"Your injuries have a great deal to do with the people around you taking care of you. For your sake, I replaced a group of people to take care of you, and this wasn't done secretly, so everyone knows! Senior Sister Xuan, oh, Senior Sister Xuan, I never thought that you would actually not know what's good for you! "
