”You tell me what happened that day.”

”Yes.” Hong Yu bowed her head and bowed three times, then knelt upright and replied, ”On that day, it was indeed Esteemed Empress Lan that came to invite Imperial Consort Hui to the Jade Dew Hall. When the Imperial Consort Hui Empress came back, she made this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb herself and gave it to Lady Qiong the next day. He also said to Lady Qiong Chen that this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb had the intent of blessing, it could attract good luck. ”

Red Jade's head drooped down even lower, sparkling tears flowed down her face gently as she sobbed, ”Xi Yan from Blue Mist Palace has never come before, nor did she bring any diagrams. All of these are the assertions of the Imperial Consort Hui Empress herself … ”

She said these words in an intermittent manner, and her expression was sorrowful beyond belief. Hong Yu suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Imperial Consort Hui, kowtowing with all her might. ”Empress, Empress, this servant has always respected you. I can't do it. You still want me to falsify drawings and frame the Esteemed Empress Lan … I really can't do it … Empress! This servant is your person after all, so I am willing to die to repay you for your kindness. ”

bang bang bang * After a powerful collision, blood was already dripping from the red jade's forehead. With the tears flowing down her face, she was truly as painful as a ghost.

She suddenly got up, found the door post and rushed over. 'Bang!' She hit her head so hard that blood flowed out and she died a violent death.

”AHH!” Fang Chun cried out softly as she covered her face with her sleeves.

The Begonia lowered her head.

Ye Qiongjiang did not expect Hong Yu to suddenly crash into the door and die, her body was already halfway up, but she was still unable to stop it.

Qing An stood behind the emperor with his hands folded, silently looking at the emperor who was as steady as Mt. Tai. If he were to make a move, he would naturally be able to stop Hong Yu, but since the emperor did not say anything, he would not act on his own accord.

Imperial Consort Lan glanced at the pale face of the Imperial Consort Hui, who was already slumped on the ground, and gently stroked her hair, ”Now, what else do you have to say for yourself?”

”I …”

Up till now, if Imperial Consort Hui still did not realise that all of this was caused by Imperial Consort Lan, she would be too stupid.

Imperial Consort Hui turned her head and looked at Imperial Consort Lan, then looked at Imperial Consort Qiong, despair slowly rising in his eyes. She lightly closed his eyes, then opened them again, and tears rolled in his eyes twice, but in the end, they were all held back. ”Chenqie … There's nothing to say. ”

What else was there to say? Xi Yan was dead, and Hong Yu was also dead.

Doing things so quickly and cleanly created an absolute 'death without a proof'. It was to completely cut off all of her escape routes and not give her any chance to retaliate.

Imperial Consort Lan laughed complacently, ”So you're saying, big sister has pleaded guilty?”

Tears slowly rolled down his face. Imperial Consort Hui looked at the emperor, then slowly lowered her head and said, ”I …”

”Elder sister Imperial Consort Hui, don't be in such a hurry to admit your guilt. I still have something interesting to tell the Emperor.”

Imperial Consort Hui looked at Imperial Consort Qiong in shock. Since things had come to this, was there a turning point?

”Oh?” Mo Hua looked at Ye Qiongjiang with interest, as if he didn't hear the red jade that had just died in front of him, ”What's this interesting, tell me.”

Ye Qiongjiang did not speak, she gave Fang Chun a meaningful glance. Fang Chun lightly nodded, and said to the outside: ”Ying Er, the Empress has let you in to speak.”

A hymen walked in with his hands and legs tied. When she saw the red jade corpse at the door, she trembled for a bit and couldn't even walk properly. She kneeled down straight and said, ”Palace Maiden Ying Er greets the Emperor and the three mistresses.”

Imperial Consort Lan and Begonia exchanged a glance. She could also tell that Imperial Consort Qiong was trying to protect Imperial Consort Hui, but why did she call in such a palace maid at this time?

Mo Hua did not let her get up either, he only glanced at Imperial Consort Qiong, waiting for her to answer.

Imperial Consort Hui was also at a loss.

Ye Qiongjiang said: ”Ying Er, don't be afraid, just tell me what you saw and heard when you followed Hong Yu back. Here, with your majesty, the Esteemed Empress Lan, and the Empress present, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. ”

Imperial Consort Lan's heart jumped.

The Imperial Consort Qiong actually sent people to follow the red jade? Ah, yes, just now Imperial Consort Qiong sent Fang Chun to change the hot tea in order to send her to do this!

Imperial Consort Hui naturally also reacted, a trace of hope involuntarily rose in her already despairing eyes.

She couldn't understand why Red Jade, after following her for so many years, would suddenly lie, even at the cost of her life, to overturn right and wrong?

Ying Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and stuttered, ”Reporting to the imperial concubine, just now Big Sister Fang Chun had this servant secretly follow Big Sister Hongyu. When this servant saw Sister Red Jade return to the Imperial Consort Hui's palace, she found a picture and then … ”Then...”

The Imperial Consort Hui asked anxiously, ”What happened next?”

Ying Er was so nervous that her face turned pale white, ”And then … This servant heard Sister Hong Yu say that she had shamed the Imperial Consort Hui, and then, she burnt that picture to ashes. ”

He then took out a blue box from his sleeve. He then opened the box and showed it to the king. Inside, it was indeed a pile of burnt ashes.

Initially, Imperial Consort Lan was a little uneasy, but after hearing this, she looked at the ashes and her eyebrows gently furrowed. She sighed softly, her eyes were gloomy, and she said in a faint voice, ”Sister Qiong Fei, I know that the Emperor has been to my place more in the past few days, because he stole away the limelight from his little sister. However … The reason why I came here today was all for my sister. Sister, why did you slander me until now? Even if you hate me, you should still protect your own body. ”

The most important evidence was burned to ashes. Everything was just hearsay, it was not enough to prove anything!

Her Imperial Consort Lan was not afraid of this!

Ye Qiongjiang frowned.
