Chapter 198 Unforgivable Sin
But Wei Yingluo would not let this happen. She knew the people in the Forbidden City too well, and she knew the emperor even better. She had planned every step early on.
At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li Yu is here with a witness to see you."
The emperor frowned slightly and nodded, motioning them to come in.
Li Yu led Yu Hu, Ming Yu and Liu Baizhi into the inner hall and stood respectfully aside.
Li Yu walked up to the emperor and whispered a few words.
As Li Yu spoke, the emperor's face became more gloomy, and the coldness in his eyes made people shudder, but in the end, he nodded.
Then, Li Yu stood beside the emperor and said to Yu Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Yu Hu, please report to the emperor what you just said to me."
Yu Hu was kneeling on the ground, all wet, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Her voice was trembling as she said woodenly, "Her Royal Highness Concubine Chun had always admired Guard Fucha. Before she entered the palace, she asked me to send a letter to express her feelings, but I can't find the letter now... Since entering the palace, Her Royal Highness has also pretended to be sick in order to avoid being favored..."
Hearing this, Concubine Chun suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of fear and anger.
She shouted angrily, "Yu Hu! Don't talk nonsense. When I first entered the palace, I was indeed in poor health. I did not lie. Your Majesty, you can read the medical records of the Imperial Hospital!"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, filled with despair and fear, which was chilling.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. He stared at Concubine Chun without saying a word, with a hint of disappointment and disgust in his eyes.
Obviously, Concubine Chun's explanation did not change anything, but made her look even more guilty and flustered.
The emperor said coldly: "I will send someone to check the medical records of the Imperial Hospital."
At this time, Mingyu walked forward calmly, saluted the emperor, and said calmly: "In reply to the emperor, this letter has been obtained by Concubine Chun's maid, Liu Baizhi, and presented to the Empress."
Her tone was firm and confident, causing those present to stare at her.
The emperor looked at Liu Baizhi kneeling below, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and asked coldly: "How can you be so capable?"
There was a hint of suspicion and curiosity in his eyes.
Liu Baizhi raised her head, her face pale, her eyes full of determination and fear, she looked ready to die, and said in a trembling voice:
"In reply to the emperor, I know that I have committed a grave sin, which is unforgivable. But I am willing to die to atone for my sins, and only hope to atone for my sins and find some peace of mind.
At first, Concubine Chun ordered me to approach the people in the Imperial Pharmacy and bribe them secretly so that we could add the abortion-inducing Aconitum into the Empress's pregnancy-maintaining medicine, but she failed. I have already presented the little medicine boy's testimony to Eunuch Li Yu.
Then, Concubine Chun sent people to find a strange and highly poisonous substance, and put it into your sachet while you were sleeping, causing the Queen to fall into a coma.
Afterwards, Concubine Chun became even more outrageous, sending servants to secretly place the little wooden man in Concubine Gao's bedroom, and even hired people to create chaos and trouble when Concubine Xian went to Di'anmen to provide relief to the victims... "
After hearing this, even though the emperor had been mentally prepared, he still felt extremely angry when he heard it again.
He tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, veins popped out on the back of his hand, his face was terribly gloomy, and he lowered his voice and shouted angrily:
"I never thought... that you would actually do such a cruel thing! All these heinous crimes were committed by you!"
The emperor suddenly threw the teacup in his hand towards Concubine Chun. Concubine Chun was so scared that her face turned pale, but she did not dare to dodge and let the teacup hit her. The scalding tea splashed all over her body.
"Your Majesty, I was framed by these people... You are with me every day, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Concubine Chun cried to the emperor with tears in her eyes.
However, the emperor did not listen to Concubine Chun's explanation. He shouted at Liu Baizhi with anger on his face: "You are so reckless! You are so reckless! Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Mingyu, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not good, and quickly stepped forward to protect Liu Baizhi, and explained: "Ms. Baizhi has been holding back because there is no solid evidence. If you only use your mouth to accuse the beloved Concubine Chun, it will undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Besides, the palace maids all have parents and relatives, and they have to consider the safety of their families even if they are willing to sacrifice their own lives."
Hearing the word "family", Yu Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled violently, and then began to kowtow continuously.
She cried out, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I am willing to die. But please have mercy on me and forgive my family!"
Seeing her like this, Mingyu suddenly realized. She had always found it strange. Yuhu had followed Concubine Chun for so long, and was Concubine Chun's confidant. How could he easily betray Concubine Chun?
Now it seems that someone threatened her with the lives of her family, so she had to tell the truth.
As for who this person is, Mingyu couldn't be sure for a moment.
However, she thought that Yu Hu would definitely not tell these secrets for no reason. If she didn't tell them, maybe with Concubine Chun's means, they would have a chance to turn things around in the future.
But if someone already knew these things and threatened her with them, then she would have no choice but to confess.
Mingyu thought about it and thought that it might be Concubine Gao's doing, after all, Concubine Chun had attacked her many times...
What's more, there are only a handful of concubines who can cover up the truth with one hand and threaten Yuhu's family outside the palace.
Of course, Concubine Gao would never admit that she did this not to take revenge on Concubine Chun, but because she didn't want Concubine Chun to hurt the Queen again.
Today, Concubine Gao has gradually let go of her love for the emperor, and the grudge between her and her "rival" Empress Fucha has slowly dissipated. Instead, she admires the empress because of her beautiful dancing.
The emperor's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. His hands were clenched into fists, and his body was trembling slightly. His chest was rising and falling violently, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, slammed the table and roared: "What a pure concubine, how could she be so vicious!"
"Li Yu! Go and convey my order! Concubine Chun framed the concubines and plotted to murder the queen. Her crime is unforgivable. From today on, her title will be revoked, she will be demoted to a concubine, and imprisoned in the cold palace. After she gives birth, she will be executed."
