MTL - After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums-Chapter 540 542: Plead not guilty
Chapter 540 Chapter 542: plead not guilty
"Exemption." Empress Song nodded slightly to Concubine Liang and Concubine Rong, and said, "Sit down."
The two thanked each other, and sat down beside Chu Yinger nervously.
Concubine Rong turned her head and winked nervously at her daughter. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she wished she could ask for clarification immediately.
Chu Ying'er's eyes were red with anxiety, even though her status was noble and arrogant in the palace, she was only twelve years old, when she saw her mother coming, feelings of grievance and fear welled up in her heart, but right now she could only force her endure.
Concubine Liang cast a comforting look at the two of them. Since the empress did not ask for accountability, most of them must have believed in Chu Yinger.
And if I can't say a few sentences clearly, Concubine Rong can understand.
The hall was very quiet for a while, Empress Song was drinking tea slowly, and Concubine Shu was also in a relaxed state of mind watching a good show, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously on her face.
Concubine Yi couldn't help muttering: "Is Chu Pan'er a tortoise? I see her every now and then in the palace when I have nothing to do. Now she comes so slowly when I have something to do. Is it intentional?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch's singing of promises sounded outside.
"The emperor is here."
Everyone in the room was startled, then got up and walked out to greet him on their knees.
Empress Song took the lead and stood at the front, followed by Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi, followed by Concubine Liang, Concubine Rong, Chu Yinger and Lu Xiang.
"Welcome to the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."
Everyone squatted down and saluted.
Emperor Chengde strode forward, stretched out his hand to lift Empress Song up, and said to several people, "Pingshen."
Concubine Shu looked at the empress who was holding hands in front of her, and gritted her teeth jealously: "Why is the emperor here?"
She rushed to speak in front of Empress Song, with a smile on her face and an intimate tone.
Emperor Chengde glanced at her indifferently, then turned to look at Empress Song: "I heard that someone poisoned you."
Empress Song raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but it was also expected.
Even Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi can come so quickly, it is not surprising that the emperor knows.
What surprised her was that she saw worry and tension in the emperor's eyes...
"That's right. I heard that it was done by the maid beside the thirteenth princess. Doctor Zheng replied that he had found chronic poisonous tripterygium wilfordii. It was mixed with the spices that the empress likes to induce toxicity. It can kill people in two or three months." The concubine's face was full of anger, and those who didn't know thought she had such a good relationship with the queen that she complained for her like this.
Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Concubine Rong's face turned pale, her legs softened and she staggered. Luckily, Lu Xiang helped her stabilize in time.
"Mistress, be careful." Lu Xiang whispered.
Concubine Rong turned her head, cast a kind glance at Lu Xiang, and then looked at Emperor Chengde in fear.
Concubine Shu's words put Ying'er in a dangerous situation, and she was afraid that the emperor would be furious without asking the reason.
Concubine Yi was speechless looking at Concubine Shu who interrupted one after another, and rolled her eyes angrily: "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."
Concubine Shu choked with anger, but she had to maintain her gentle and dignified image in front of Emperor Chengde.
"Sister Yifei, how did I offend you? You speak so harshly?"
Every word and every sentence seemed to be squeezed out of the elegant gap, wishing to bite Yifei to death.
Emperor Chengde suddenly felt his head buzzing, and he dragged Empress Song into the hall. He didn't answer Concubine Shu's words, but asked Empress Song after sitting down: "I have listened to a little bit, and this matter is related to ten Are the three related?"
Empress Song stabilized her mind, waved away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, stared and said: "It's related, but it doesn't matter."
Emperor Cheng De looked at her puzzled.
Empress Song picked up the key points and explained: "...The concubine has passed the ninth princess into the palace, and I will ask her when she comes."
Zisu took a cup of tea and put it on the table next to Emperor Chengde: "Your Majesty, please use tea."
Then stepped aside.
Emperor Cheng De was not in the mood to drink tea at the moment, and stared at the teacup in front of him with heavy eyes, as if he was about to smash the cup into pieces.
The atmosphere in the room was instantly depressing and breathless.
Chu Pan'er and her maid were tied into Jingren Palace by the palace servants. Chu Pan'er still had a cloth stuffed in her mouth, but the maid did not, because she didn't dare to swear all the way like Chu Pan'er.
Concubine Shu saw Chu Pan'er who was **** like a prisoner, and immediately scolded: "Bold, the nine princesses are golden branches and jade leaves. How dare you commit crimes and tie people up, so let them go quickly."
Yunlu snorted secretly, and looked at Empress Song: "Returning to your mother, the nine princesses resisted the order and refused to enter the palace. This is disrespect to your mother."
No matter how golden you are, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, and she is also her mother. Her imperial edict is second only to the emperor's imperial edict. If the nine princesses resist the edict, they will hit the empress in the face, not to mention...
"My palace ordered that if Chu Pan'er resists, she will be tied into the palace. Does Concubine Shu have any opinion?" Empress Song said with a cold look at Concubine Shu.
Empress Song didn't like Chu Pan'er when she fought against Lu Xiang, and later she behaved even worse. She even dared to poison her with evil intentions. Would she still invite her into the palace respectfully?
Heh, gave her face?
When Concubine Shu heard what Empress Song said, she was so choked that she couldn't speak: "I dare not."
"Concubine Shu is so eager to stand up for Chu Pan'er, I have to wonder if there is something else going on with you." Empress Song's unhurried voice frightened Concubine Shu, and quickly knelt down.
"Your majesty knows that, ministers and concubines would never dare to murder the empress." She raised her head slightly, with a charming expression on her charming face, and looked at Emperor Chengde aggrieved and helpless.
She was not afraid of Song Nanyue's slander, but she was afraid that the emperor's ears would make him feel bad about her.
Not long after Liu Anyao's incident, the emperor had already treated her a lot colder, if he was dissatisfied any longer, his position would be shaken.
Emperor Chengde glanced at her expressionlessly: "Get up."
Concubine Shu was apprehensive. After getting up, she took a cautious look at Emperor Cheng De, and sat quietly aside with her lips pursed, not daring to say more.
The previous tricks are useless now, Concubine Shu frowned and thought over and over again in her heart what she should do next to win back Emperor Chengde's love for her.
"Chu Pan'er, do you plead guilty?" Empress Song stared at Chu Pan'er sharply and asked sharply.
"Mmmmmmm..."
Chu Pan'er shook her head while moaning.
After Queen Song finished asking, she stopped looking at her and turned to look at the maid beside her.
"I have seen you before, you were the maid next to the virtuous concubine, what's your name?"
The palace maid nodded: "Return to your mother's words, slave Yingxue."
"You entered the palace today and quietly met the magpie in the imperial garden, didn't you?"
Yingxue was kneeling on the ground with her hands tied behind her back, she shook her head and said, "The servant did not enter the palace today, and everyone in the princess mansion can testify that Miss Lu has admitted the wrong person."
Empress Song sneered: "I didn't say that Miss San saw it, and you know?"
Yingxue's heart shook for a moment, but her face was calm: "Your servant heard about it."
Empress Song looked at her and smiled. The smile was inexplicable, which made Yingxue feel creepy.
