Chapter 88 Deep Palace (8)

When the queen knew the cause and effect of the matter, her first reaction was that she had been deceived.

Thinking about it again, Concubine Ying was the person sent in by Concubine Zhi's sister, so she was probably Concubine Zhi's person.

Thinking of this, the queen's face became even more ugly.

If this is the case, it is she, the queen, who confuses people. Although she can blame the matter on the palace maid, the emperor's impression of her will definitely be worse.

Damn you slut!

The queen cursed Concubine Zhi and Qiao Shi in her heart for daring to play with her like this!

——

The group of people had a simple lunch at Zhongcui Palace and were still waiting for the results.

Searching the palace was not a quick task. It was not until sunset that Eunuch Su and the queen's maids who were searching together came over to return.

Qiao Shi sat weakly and felt weak.

I saw Eunuch Su ordering someone to bring a few things, with a strange look on his face.

This was especially true for the eldest maid next to the queen, who frequently looked at the queen.

It's just that this matter hasn't been reported to the emperor yet, so naturally she can't go to the queen to talk about it first.

"Tell me, what did you find?"

The emperor had a cold face, and Eunuch Su ordered people to bring everything to the front. .

Since I just searched the palace some time ago, I have found a total of three things now.

"Reporting to your Majesty, this is an emerald jade hairpin I found under Ying Guiren's bed. I ordered someone to check it carefully. There is nothing wrong with it."

Eunuch Su first brought a wooden box. There was a hosta in the wooden box. Because he found it under the bed, he also brought it over.

A flash of surprise flashed across Qiao Shi's face, and he spoke weakly.

"Your Majesty, this is the hosta that the Emperor gave to my concubine. I lost it a few days ago and unexpectedly ended up under the bed."

The emperor took a look and saw that it was indeed a gift from him, so he nodded.

Next, Eunuch Su opened another thing wrapped in cloth, and a small man covered with needles suddenly came into view.

"This is unreasonable! Do you think I am dead!!!"

The emperor was furious the moment he saw the villain.

The queen originally thought that the person writing on it was her, but to her surprise, Eunuch Su said it was Qiao Shi.

"Concubine Ying?"

When the emperor turned to look at Qiao, he saw that the villain's chest was full of needles, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"who!"

"Xia agreed."

After Eunuch Su answered, Concubine De was shocked, and Concubine Zhi's face was also shocked for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Then Eunuch Su hesitated and took out another letter.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I also found a letter in the dressing box that Xia promised."

Looking at the letter that Eunuch Su took out, Concubine De felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her hands became cold.

He stared at Qiao Shi in disbelief.

She now knows that neither they nor the queen are in trouble, and they have all been plotted by this woman!

Concubine De was so angry that her chest hurt, but now she could do nothing. She could only watch the emperor take the letter, and then his face became darker and darker.

"Bastard thing!"

The emperor threw the letter to the queen with a wave of his hand. The queen didn't know why. When she saw the content of the letter, she was so angry that she almost lost her temper!

Although the letter did not specify who it was from, the letter was found in Xia's palace!

"Your Majesty, there must be something hidden in this. The fourth prince knows the rules best and will definitely not do such a thing!"

The queen eagerly wanted to explain, but the emperor was sullen and didn't want to hear any explanation at all.

"Come here, bring Xia Promise up!"

The queen also ordered people to bring Xia Yingwen up. Not knowing this matter would have more than one or two effects on her.

The emperor will definitely hate her for this.

After searching things in Xia Yisheng's palace, Eunuch Su had already brought people over, and soon Xia Yisheng was brought to the palace.

Xia promised to deny it. The emperor said nothing and the whole audience watched the movement in the palace.

At this moment, the little eunuch outside came in to report that the palace maid Cui'er beside her had something to report.

Qiao Shi sneered in his heart. He didn't know what leverage this Cui'er had in the hands of Concubine De and Concubine Zhi. She actually helped Concubine Zhi like this without even caring about her own life.

This time, there is little chance that Cui Er will survive.

Qiao Shi had no expression on his face, still looking at the farce with a pale face.

After Cui'er came in, she knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, and then began to talk about Qiao Shi's crimes.

"... This servant saw with her own eyes that Concubine Ying had a private meeting with the fourth prince. The fourth prince also wrote a love poem to Concubine Ying, which was carefully kept by Concubine Ying. The fourth prince also said that the emperor, the emperor is old. , after waiting for the emperor... then..., the servant is too scared to say anything about this matter. Previously, the concubine Ying also threatened the slave and beat the slave because the slave knew about it. Please forgive me for your life..."

"You bitch is talking nonsense! You came here to tell me that someone in the harem used witchcraft. I believed your words, and now you are talking nonsense again. Someone, please pull this bitch out of the house. shoot!"

The empress was the first to have an attack. Once the fourth prince was burdened with the reputation of being his father's concubine, not only would she be implicated, but the fourth prince's chess piece would also be considered useless.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't lie. I didn't lie. Please tell me from your Majesty——"

Cui'er knelt on the ground and cried. The emperor waved his hand to ask the people who came up to retreat, and then focused on Qiao Shi.

Qiao Shi struggled to stand up from the chair and knelt in the hall, speaking calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Reporting to the emperor, I have nothing to do with the fourth prince. As for whether this slave is slandering out of thin air or is true, please allow me to ask you a few questions."

"You ask."

Seeing Qiao Shi and Xia agreeing while kneeling on the ground, the emperor looked coldly, and no one asked the fourth prince to come over.

Even if this kind of thing is true, the fourth prince will not be punished too much, but one of them will be the unlucky one.

She had the chance to ask now because there was no evidence.

"Tui'er, when Concubine Lu sent me to the palace, you were also sent to serve me as Concubine Lu. You should have cared about me, so I want to ask why you didn't notice someone using witchcraft. Tell me first, and then I tell the Queen?"

"The Empress is in charge of the harem. This matter is important, so naturally it should be reported to the Empress."

Cui'er knelt on the ground and answered in a decent manner, but this made everyone present understand one thing.

It's just that Cui'er is a slave who betrays his master.

Qiao Shi sneered.

"Ignoring the fact that you went beyond me to report to the Queen, let me ask you, do you know that the letter is a love letter written by the fourth prince to me? Have you read it?"

"Slave, slave..."

This sentence made Cui'er instantly turn pale. She said yes or no, and she quickly refuted.

"It was Concubine Ying who secretly read it when she got the letter, and this servant only remembered it."

"If I really did something shameful, would I read this in front of a slave like you? Besides, I remember that you are illiterate, and you said before that what the fourth prince wrote to me was a love poem? You are illiterate? , even if you overheard me reciting it, would you know it was a love poem?"

"That's not the case. Your Majesty, please check carefully. Everything I said is true."

Cui'er didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so she could only kneel on the ground and tremble.

Qiao Shi glanced at her with an indifferent expression.

"Tui'er, you entered the palace with me. I don't understand why you want to ruin my reputation, the queen, and even the royal family's reputation like this."

After speaking, he looked at the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, I have asked all my concubines. Everything is entirely up to the Emperor."
