Quick Wear: After the charming host got pregnant, the boss spoiled her like crazy
Chapter 270: Cold-blooded and Domineering Emperor Without Heir x Delicate and Pregnant Concubine 63
"I'm sorry, Madam. I really didn't mean it. I had no choice but to do this. If there is another life, I will be willing to work like a slave for you to atone for the sins of this life..."
Qingle walked forward, crying and trembling.
At this time, Concubine An was lying on the ground with her back covered in blood. Her eyes were wide open, as if she had died with her eyes open.
Qingle was extremely frightened, but he still suppressed his fear and pulled Concubine An towards the couch.
Since Concubine An was much heavier than Qingle, she could not lift her up by herself.
So Qingle had to grab Anpin's ankle first, and then drag her to the bed little by little with difficulty.
After dragging Concubine An to the edge of the couch, Qingle climbed onto the bed using his hands and feet, grabbed Concubine An's arm again, and used all his strength to finally pull her onto the bed.
Finally, Qingle carefully covered Anpin with a quilt and gently stroked her face, trying to close her eyes that were wide open with fear.
The shadow of death shrouded Concubine An. The endless fear and deadly poison made her experience unspeakable pain and torture at the moment of her death.
The symptom of Concubine An's pupil contraction mentioned by Zhao Quezi was undoubtedly caused by her extreme fear when facing death.
The next morning, Qingle, who had not slept all night, dragged his exhausted body, with two big panda eyes, and forced himself to be energetic, pretending nothing had happened.
As usual, she led several palace maids to Concubine An's bedroom, ready to help her master get up and wash.
"My lady, it's time to get up."
A little palace maid in a pink dress tiptoed to the bedside, carefully lifted the low-hanging bed curtain, and then carefully tied it into a beautiful flower knot.
When the other palace maids saw this scene, they all hurried forward and called softly, "Empress An... Empress An..." However, no matter how hard they shouted, the person lying on the bed remained motionless, as if she had lost all life.
"Empress! Your Majesty, please wake up!" The little palace maid was extremely anxious and called out several times unwillingly, but Concubine An on the bed still did not respond.
In fact, Concubine An sometimes really slept very deeply, but no matter what, she would always respond a little whenever someone called her.
However, today was extremely surprising. There was no movement at all, as if the person could not hear any sound from the outside world at all and was completely oblivious to all the noise around him.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the little palace maid was terrified, her face turned pale as paper, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
At this moment, a slightly older palace maid came forward and without hesitation lifted the quilt covering Concubine An. Everyone was shocked to find that Concubine An had been dead for a long time.
The older maid screamed, and the other maids stepped back in fear.
Qingle tried to remain calm and said, "Hurry up and report to the Emperor!"
Then, she took advantage of the chaos to take away a jade pendant from Concubine An's pillow, which she accidentally dropped there last night. She knew that this jade pendant was evidence that she and Concubine Mei had joined forces to harm someone, and once it was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
When the emperor arrived at the scene, he was furious after seeing Concubine An's miserable condition and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
Qingle was secretly delighted in her heart because her carefully planned conspiracy was about to come to fruition!
As the closest maid to Concubine An, Qingle became the first person to be questioned and examined.
Faced with a life-or-death situation, Qingle knew that he could only save his life by doing everything he could.
So, in front of the person in charge of the interrogation, Qingle showed his amazing acting skills without hesitation.
She burst into tears, constantly blaming herself and beating herself, crying bitterly.
"It's all my fault! I failed to protect Her Majesty. When Her Majesty insisted on going to Zhaohua Palace yesterday, I should have resolutely stopped her. If I had been able to stop Her Majesty at that time, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened, and Her Majesty would not have passed away..."
After saying this, Qingle cried even more heartbrokenly.
However, beneath this seemingly grief-stricken appearance, Qingle quietly and silently shifted the blame for Concubine An's death to Zhaohua Palace, and further implicated Shen Nian.
She skillfully guided the interrogators' thinking, making them suspicious of Zhaohua Palace and focusing on Shen Nian.
These are the entire process of Concubine An's death, from planning to implementation, and then to framing Shen Nian.
Not long after, an imperial edict arrived at the mansion where Qingle was imprisoned - the emperor wanted to summon her!
This sudden news plunged the entire mansion into tension and anxiety, but Qingle seemed unusually calm.
When Qingle stepped into the solemn and dignified hall of the imperial palace, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
She walked towards the imperial court step by step, facing the almighty emperor, with determination and resoluteness flashing in her eyes.
In front of the emperor, Qingle confessed all the crimes he had committed without reservation.
She told him every detail and every mistake honestly without hiding anything. At the same time, she also bravely pointed out the real mastermind behind the scenes - Concubine Mei!
The emperor listened quietly to Qingle's statement, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
He originally thought that this was just an ordinary palace fight, but he didn't expect that it would involve so many conspiracies and calculations. When he heard that Concubine Mei was the instigator of all this, the emperor was furious and his face was furious!
Concubine Mei angrily denounced Qingle's cowardice and incompetence, and cursed her in her heart for being so vulnerable that she couldn't even bear a little punishment and couldn't wait to sell herself out.
Mei Fei tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, knelt on the ground, and her body trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, please be careful! This maid must have been instigated by someone else to frame me. Your Majesty, please do not listen to the slander!"
Mei Fei's voice was full of sorrow and indignation, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but her frail body was as tough and unyielding as a plum blossom standing in the cold wind. Although her eyes were red and tears were glistening, she tried hard not to let the tears fall.
At this moment, Concubine Mei was like a plum blossom blooming in the snow. No matter how fierce the wind and frost were, she still maintained her pride and dignity.
She faced the emperor with a firm and stubborn attitude, hoping to clear her name.
If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would certainly think that Concubine Mei had suffered a great injustice.
It’s a pity that everyone in this hall, who doesn’t know the sins she has committed?
"Empress Mei, if you are really wronged, please think carefully about where the jade pendant you have been wearing is now?" Shen Nian slowly walked down the jade steps, staring at Concubine Mei.
Her tone was gentle and slow, and she didn't sound like she was questioning Concubine Mei. Instead, it sounded more like she had accidentally discovered that Concubine Mei's jade pendant was missing and was just asking casually.
However, after hearing these words, Concubine Mei froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Her mind involuntarily recalled the scene of giving the jade pendant to Qingle not long ago. However, at this moment, she bit her lips tightly, determined not to easily admit her guilt, and said: "Thanks to Concubine Qing's reminder, I suddenly remembered that the jade pendant has indeed been missing for a long time. But as to where it went, I really have no idea."
Shen Nian walked towards Qingle, and Qingle immediately took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Nian respectfully.
Shen Nian stretched out her crystal clear, white jade fingers and gently pinched the jade pendant. Then she slowly walked in front of Concubine Mei and said with a hint of joking, "My Lady Concubine Mei, please take a closer look. Is this the jade pendant you lost? Concubine Mei, please don't lie to me. After all, I often saw you wearing this jade pendant before."
Concubine Mei looked at the jade pendant and her mind was dazed for a moment.
"My jade pendant must have been stolen by Qingle. I have never given my jade pendant to anyone else. Your Majesty, please investigate."
Concubine Mei was panicked. She knelt forward a few steps, trying to make Ling Yu believe that she was innocent.
Shen Nian also stopped and looked at Ling Yu who was sitting above her. Coincidentally, Ling Yu was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and they read a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
Ling Yu's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at His Highness's Concubine Mei and Qing Le, and had already made up his mind.
"Concubine Mei, are you going to quibble any more?" Ling Yu's voice was intimidating without even being angry.
Concubine Mei trembled, she knew that the emperor was really angry this time.
"I didn't do it, so why are you trying to make excuses?"
Concubine Mei still refused to admit it.
Shen Nian came in front of her and whispered, "Princess Mei, you haven't left the palace at all in the past few days, who dares to enter your palace and steal.
The only explanation is that you gave this jade pendant to Qingle."
"Someone, take Concubine Mei away." Shen Nian waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
Mei Fei collapsed to the ground, her screams echoing in the palace. Qingle breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her life was finally saved.
In a rage, the emperor immediately issued an order: "Come here! Banish Concubine Mei to the cold palace and never let her leave the palace again!"
As the decree was announced, the entire palace was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by the emperor's decisive decision, and at the same time impressed by Qingle's courage and integrity.
In this way, this unjust case was finally redressed. Justice was served and the injustice was washed away.
Shen Nian, on the other hand, won the respect and praise of the people for her honesty and bravery. From then on, she became a legendary story in the palace and was praised by later generations.
