C44 death without proof (2/2)
This thing is evidence, and if the Imperial Consort Hui comes back later, she would need to ask about it, so she definitely could not just throw it away. Even if she was in a rush to settle this, he would have to wait until the Emperor asks the Imperial Consort Hui.
Fang Chun also reacted in an instant. Her actions just now were too reckless, the Emperor and her concubines did not say a word, but she dealt with them just like that, it was truly too presumptuous.
Qing An wrapped a handkerchief with Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and placed it on the table opposite the emperor and Imperial Consort Qiong. He rolled his eyes and said softly: ”Miss Fang Chun worrying about the Lady Qiong is truly touching.”
Fang Chun did not dare make a sound. She drooped her head and retreated behind Imperial Consort Qiong and only stole a glance at the emperor. Seeing that Mo Hua's face was clear, she relaxed a bit.
Ye Qiongjiang looked at the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb on the table and coughed lightly, ”This is only an object, does the emperor believe in such things?”
Imperial Consort Lan said: ”It's better to believe than not. My sister's health has always been good, why did she suddenly get sick? Being able to hold on for so long without getting better, it's definitely because of this thing. ”
Ye Qiongjiang's eyes flashed slightly. The one who was' in trouble 'was obviously herself, and it really didn't seem like she had anything to do with this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.
If this were to happen to the Imperial Consort Hui, it would not be her wish, ”This is just a coincidence. These mysterious techniques of the Celestial Sect of Wonders are more of a trick than a trick, it is not enough to scare the common people.”
”This book was borrowed from the Compendium Pavilion, and it is a collection collected by the royal family. How can it be an incantation?” Furthermore, the Star Palace of our Da Xia Empire is also this kind of existence, do you want the Sister Qiong Fei to deny the various divine powers that the Great Deity Official possesses? ”
The Imperial Consort Lan's sharp words came closer and closer. As she spoke till here, she then paused just in time and turned to Mo Hua, ”This matter, I ask for Your Majesty's decision.”
Mo Hua's gaze fell on the two girls, and said indifferently: ”We'll talk about it after Imperial Consort Hui arrives.”
”Yes.”
Imperial Consort Lan's eyebrows were low and her eyes docile.
Before long, the Imperial Consort Hui, accompanied by the palace maid, Hong Yu, gracefully arrived.
The moment she entered the room, she saw only the emperor's concubine and her personal attendant. All the other palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside and couldn't help but notice the stifling atmosphere. She was a bit helpless and a bit restrained as she greeted, ”Chenqie greets your majesty.”
Mo Hua waved his hand, ”No need for formalities.”
Imperial Consort Hui stood up. Seeing that both Imperial Consort Qiong and Imperial Consort Lan were sitting and no one had offered him a chair, she had a bad feeling about this. She had no choice but to smile and greet Imperial Consort Qiong, ”Sister Qiong Fei is doing well, Imperial Consort Lan's sister is also here.”
”Greetings elder sister.” Imperial Consort Lan only slightly nodded, disdaining to pretend to stand up and greet him.
Ye Qiongjiang bit her lower lip and instructed: ”Fang Chun, quickly show your seat to big sister Imperial Consort Hui.”
”Don't worry about it after we sit down. We have a few words to ask the Imperial Consort Hui. If she has already asked, she can take her leave.” Just as Fang Chun wanted to say yes, she was stopped by Mo Hua.
”I wonder why Your Majesty is so anxious to summon chenqie?” Imperial Consort Hui's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the Emperor's tone, she knew that it wasn't going to be good.
Mo Hua pointed to the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb on the table, ”This thing, was it you who gave it to Imperial Consort Qiong?”
Imperial Consort Hui looked over, although the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was thrown down by Fang Chun, it was extremely sturdy, and was not damaged at all, ”Yes, this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was gifted to Sister Qiong Fei by my concubine.”
Mo Hua coldly snorted, and said: ”Do you know your crime?”
Imperial Consort Hui was startled. Confess your crime? She quickly kneeled down. ”Your Majesty is enlightened, chenqie …” I have no idea what the Emperor is talking about. ” The personal maid, Red Jade, also knelt down with a baffled look on her face.
Imperial Consort Lan suddenly stood up, took the book out from Imperial Consort Qiong's hands and threw it in front of Imperial Consort Hui, ”Elder sister doesn't understand? ”Then take a good look at it!”
”This... How could this be! ” Imperial Consort Hui looked at it for a bit and was shocked by the contents of the letter. ”Your Majesty, chenqie is completely unaware of this matter! This concubine definitely does not have the heart to harm Imperial Consort Qiong! ”
Hong Yu kowtowed even more. ”Your majesty, the Empress is wrongly accused!”
”You made this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb yourself, and you personally delivered it to the Jade Dew Hall. If you didn't have any intentions of harming others, how could the Sister Qiong Fei still be sick to this day?” The Imperial Consort Lan laughed coldly, killing intent flickering in her eyes.
Imperial Consort Hui raised his head to look at her, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly explained to Mo Hua. ”Your Majesty, chenqie indeed did not know about this. This Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was indeed made by me, your concubine, but it was this Imperial Consort Lan who spoke up to make me do it! ”
”You're slandering me!” Imperial Consort Lan did not say anything, the transvestite had already scolded angrily, ”Don't slander my mistress!”
Imperial Consort Lan waved her hand to stop Begonia, she looked at Imperial Consort Hui who was kneeling on the ground and said coldly: ”Don't say that I didn't give big sister a chance, since big sister wants to slander me, then please take out the evidence. ”The emperor has always been wise. As long as elder sister can take out evidence to prove that it was his younger sister who requested you to do it, I believe that the emperor will return elder sister's justice.”
When they entered the Jade Dew Hall from the Imperial Consort Hui, it was as if everyone had forgotten about Ye Qiongjiang. She had initially thought that the Imperial Consort Hui giving away the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was an unintentional act, and had quietly waited for the matter to develop before ending the Imperial Consort Hui at the most crucial moment.
She raised her head and glanced at Mo Hua, only to see that Mo Hua's face was expressionless, and as she watched Imperial Consort Lan and Imperial Consort Hui fight, she did not make a decision, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
