Chapter 637 The Tragic Palace Maid 3
When the news of Zhengui moving out of Liuli Palace spread, the concubines in the harem were all surprised.
I'm surprised that Depin doesn't want to torture Zhengui anymore and is willing to let him go.
But it was also true that Zhengui had been tortured into that state by Concubine De, and I guess Concubine De had lost the desire to continue to torture Zhengui, so she showed mercy and let him go.
As Guiren moved out of the Liuli Palace, a conspiracy against the child in Yu Guiren's belly quietly unfolded. It was a joint effort of several parties because Yu Guiren was so good at offending people.
So don't blame others for hurting her.
Originally! Those who did it wanted to frame Jiang Chunxi, because Jiang Chunxi's favor in the past two years was really enviable.
But they suddenly found that the Liuli Palace was like an iron barrel and they could not throw dirty water on Jiang Chunxi at all, so they had to settle for the next best thing and focus their efforts on the precious person.
Even though Zhenguiren has fallen into this situation now, it's because she was so annoying in the past. Even if there is no chance now, it doesn't matter. But now that there is a ready-made opportunity, they naturally don't mind cheating Zhenguiren.
We should only blame the bad things that Zhengui did in the past, and not blame others for framing her.
Concubine Yu had a miscarriage when she was three months pregnant. As the Queen conducted a thorough investigation, all the evidence pointed to Concubine Zhengui. Naturally, Concubine Zhengui would not admit the evidence presented by the Queen. She kept shouting that she was innocent and that someone had framed her.
"Since you feel you are being wronged, then you should produce evidence to prove you are being framed," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically. "If you can't produce any evidence, and can only say you are wronged, then all the evil people who harm others in the world will be cleared."
"That's right," Concubine Hui sneered, "They say that a biting dog doesn't bark. I didn't expect that Guiren would fall into this situation and still dare to hurt others. Could it be that he is too jealous of Concubine Yu being pregnant with the emperor's heir?"
"Zuigui has always claimed that she loves the emperor the most. She always acted as if she was the emperor's true love. It was because of this that she could not tolerate anyone else getting pregnant with the emperor's heir." This was the voice of Concubine Rong.
"Nonsense," said Zhengui angrily, "If I really couldn't tolerate someone else getting pregnant with the Emperor's child, then why didn't I harm the Empress, and instead let the Empress give birth to the child smoothly?"
"Haha!" Concubine Li laughed. "Zuigui is really bold. You want to harm the Queen, but the question is, do you have the ability to do it? But Yu Guiren is different. I believe Guigui still has your aunt's former connections. With the connections your aunt left for you, it is quite easy to harm the child in a little Guiren's belly."
"I heard that your aunt, Imperial Concubine Yu, killed many royal heirs when she was in the harem of the late Empress. The Guiren and Imperial Concubine Yu share the same blood, so they are probably of the same lineage. This aunt likes to harm other people's children, and your niece is no exception."
"That's because there are few pregnant concubines in the harem. Apart from the Queen, there is only Concubine Yu. The Queen and Concubine Yu are not capable of doing anything, but Concubine Yu is different. Didn't it make it easy for you to succeed?"
Here I have to say, didn't anyone in the harem suspect anything before? After all, among all the concubines in the harem, only the queen gave birth to children continuously, while the others had no movement in their bellies at all.
Of course there is!
It would be fine if she didn't have any connections, but all the high-ranking concubines like Concubine Li had a trusted imperial physician.
Therefore, when they were sure that there was nothing wrong with their bodies, they dispelled their suspicions about the queen.
This only shows that the Queen's secret medicine is indeed effective and the imperial physician cannot find out what it is.
But it's also true that if the secret medicine wasn't really that powerful, the queen wouldn't dare to drug the concubines in the harem.
Zhengui was so angry that she almost collapsed. She knelt on the ground, looked at the Queen and said, "Queen, I am really wronged. I have been out of favor for so long. There is no reason for me to harm Concubine Yu."
"How can there be no reason?" This was Concubine Shu's voice. "Concubine Yu had offended you many times before. When you were still Concubine Zhen, Concubine Yu dared to slap you in the face. So Concubine Yu and you have a deep grudge. No wonder you would be so cruel to attack the child in Concubine Yu's belly."
"Alas!" Jiang Chunxi sighed, "Luckily, the precious person has moved out of the Liuli Palace, otherwise I would have been in trouble today."
"Empress," Jiang Chunxi looked at the empress, "Since all the evidence proves that Guigui killed Concubine Yu's baby, and Guigui can't produce any evidence to prove it, then we should quickly deal with Guigui. After all, we can't encourage such evil trends. Otherwise, what will happen if everyone wants to kill other people's babies in the future?"
"So I ask the Queen to severely punish the precious man and put an end to this evil trend."
"I have asked someone to invite the emperor over," the queen said, "For something as serious as harming the heir to the throne, it would be best if the emperor himself makes the decision."
The Queen naturally believed that the murderer behind the scenes would not be Guirui. After all, with Guirui's brain, how could she have the ability to harm others?
But even if she knew that Guigui was innocent, she had no obligation to clear Guigui of the charges.
It was because Zhengui had annoyed the Queen so many times in the past. If the Queen still wanted to clear Zhengui of the charges under such circumstances, she might as well just become a Bodhisattva.
The precious person's eyes sparkled with surprise.
The emperor will come, does that mean she can get away with it? As long as she can see the emperor, she believes that the emperor will thoroughly investigate the matter and clear her name.
After all, the emperor knows her true nature best. Even if the emperor no longer has her in his heart, as long as he believes in her nature, he will not think that she harmed the child in Concubine Yu's belly.
The emperor came over with a gloomy face.
When the emperor came in, everyone immediately stood up and saluted him.
The emperor came up to the queen, personally helped her up, sat down with her, and then asked everyone to stand up.
After everyone stood up and sat down, only Precious was still kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty," Guigui looked at the Emperor with tears streaming down her face and a complicated and aggrieved expression, "I am innocent. Your Majesty knows best what kind of person I am. So how could I possibly harm the child in Yu Guiren's belly?"
The emperor was stunned when he saw the precious person for the first time.
No, it’s only been two years since I last saw you, but it feels like you’ve changed a lot.
Then the emperor looked at Jiang Chunxi.
It seems that what Depin said was not exaggerated at all. Zhenguiren looks completely different now than before.
