Chapter 136 Xiangyun changes her confession; Ping'er is favored
Concubine Yi stepped forward and took a look: "Isn't this... Xiangyun, Concubine Yu's maid?"
"Why do you want to hurt me?"
Xiangyun: "It was Concubine Yu who ordered me to do this!"
This is the opposite of what she just said.
Ruyi raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not what you said just now."
Hongli also frowned, with a hint of doubt in his heart.
"Your Highness, listen to this. This is what Xiangyun said herself. Concubine Yu is a person in your palace, so naturally you are speaking on her side." Noble Lady Yi said aggrievedly.
Ruyi: "Your Majesty, it would be unacceptable to convict Concubine Yu based solely on Xiangyun's inconsistent confession."
Hongli also nodded: "Yes, let's put her in the Ministry of Punishment first and see what we can find out during the trial."
Xiangyun cried and begged for mercy: "No... Your Majesty, Royal Noble Consort, I was wrong just now. It was not Concubine Yu who ordered me to do so... Please forgive me!"
"Li Yu sent the man to the Ministry of Punishment. I want to see what else she can come up with."
Ruyi glanced at Concubine Yi and asked, "Concubine Yi doesn't seem very satisfied?"
Noble Lady Yi forced a smile and said, "How could that be possible? Whatever the Imperial Noble Consort says is what we will do."
Hongli: "Ruyi, please go and comfort Concubine Yu on my behalf."
Ruyi nodded.
Ministry of Punishment
The Jingqi maids were full and satisfied by now, while Xiangyun, who was tied to a wooden stake, was so scared that she wet her pants.
She kept repeating that she was wronged.
But how many people who entered the Ministry of Punishment would not say that they were wronged? The maids were no longer surprised.
One of the maids lifted a whip and lifted her chin: "Tell the truth and save yourself the pain."
Xiangyun nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll tell the truth."
Xing didn't even need Xiangyun to tell him the whole story.
Yu Hu showed the confession to Hong Li, who then threw it aside and asked, "Could she really have killed her own child?"
"Your Majesty, the confession of the palace maid Xiangyun is inconsistent, and I am unable to make any judgment."
Hongli nodded: "Well, you can't believe everything she says. Let's execute Xiangyun." The matter ended there.
Su Lian now lives in a remote place and cannot even see the emperor, so she sent Ping'er directly to Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi is pregnant now, and the emperor still comes to see her every now and then.
There were several times when I kept Ping'er in my mind.
Concubine Yi also took the opportunity to fan the flames and praised Ping'er as a fairy from heaven.
Because she looked somewhat like the late queen, Hongli transferred all his thoughts about Fucha Langya to her.
For a time, Ping'er was the most favored among the six harems and was very arrogant.
Ruyi was pregnant so she was exempted from paying respects to the six palaces.
At this moment, Concubine Yi's Qixiang Palace was bustling with activity.
People who usually avoid me are now rushing to get close to me.
Concubine Ping was pulled over by Concubine Kui. Concubine Kui was a person who usually changed her attitude according to the situation. Concubine Ping remained neutral, neither siding with the Imperial Concubine nor joining any other small groups. She was a good person.
"It's not good for us to do this." Ping Guiren said weakly.
Qingpin: "Well, what's good or bad about it? It's just a few people chatting together, not plotting anything."
Concubine Yi stroked her belly. She couldn't stand Concubine Ping's innocent look.
"Oh, does Lady Ping look down on my Qixiang Palace, or what?"
Concubine Ping lowered her head and said, "Sister, you are joking. How dare I?"
