Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Liu Nishang and Hongyu were still chattering on about the Queen's crimes, but the Queen had already returned to Kunning Palace to rest. Tinghe was afraid that the Queen might worry too much and have a miscarriage, so he used acupuncture to put her into a deep sleep to prevent any external distractions from disturbing her thoughts.

Mo Mingkong didn't like listening to their endless complaints, so he asked his men to bring a chair over and sat at the Queen Mother's funeral banquet to watch the two perform.

It was not until Mo Mingkong sent someone to torture Hongyu and forced her to tell the truth that Liu Nishang started to yell:

"Don't be upset, my Lord. This slave is the Queen's personal maid. The Queen must have some leverage over her, or arrested her family. She must have done such a cruel thing for her family. But I have always been on good terms with the Queen, so I'm sure she didn't push me on purpose."

When Hongyu heard that her family might be punished or silenced, she immediately admitted, "Yes, Concubine Rou is right. I don't have the guts to hurt you. It was the Queen who captured my family and threatened me, forcing me to do this. The Queen was afraid that Concubine Rou would give birth to a dragon heir and affect her position as Queen, so she did this."

Liu Nishang originally wanted to directly prove the Queen's evil act of pushing her down, but she didn't expect that when she fell down, the Queen was actually dozens of steps away from her, and she couldn't be pushed even if she pushed her. It was really a mistake, but fortunately, there was Hongyu who could take the blame for the Queen. As long as she insisted that Hongyu was the murderer arranged by the Queen, then she, Liu Nishang, could still turn the situation around today. It was just that why did Mo Mingkong come and interfere for no reason and disrupted her plan? It was really hateful.

Mo Mingkong saw that the two had almost finished their performance, so he waved his hand and asked his men to bring in a few people dressed as farmers, and said to Hongyu:

"Look, the people I brought with me are your family members, right?"

Hongyu looked up when she heard this and saw her trembling parents and brother. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately knelt down to express her gratitude:

"Thank you, my Lord, for saving my parents and brother from the Queen. I will tell you everything I know and expose the Queen's evil deeds to the public."

Mo Mingkong clapped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then I'll let you get what you want. After all, being able to be a clear-headed ghost before dying is not in vain, right?"

As he spoke, Mo Mingkong stabbed Hongyu's father with a sharp sword in his hand, and asked without hesitation: "What's the matter? Miss Hongyu still refuses to tell the truth? Do you want your parents to go to hell with you to be loyal to your real master?"

Hongyu watched with bloodshot eyes as her father fell to the ground after being stabbed by the sword and spitting blood. Seeing that he was breathing less and more, she was so scared that her whole body was shaking and she roared:

"No, please don't do that. My servant was wrong, Your Highness. Please don't touch my father. Please release my family. I will tell Your Highness everything."

Hongyu said directly, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube:

"I'm a second-class maidservant of the Empress. One day, Miss Liu found me and gave me some money, asking me to tell her everything the Empress said and did. I refused, so she sent people to capture my parents and brothers, and threatened me to work for her using the names of my family members..."

"I was afraid that my family members would be implicated, so I pretended to help Miss Liu. But who knew that the first thing Miss Liu wanted me to do was to destroy her concubine's sister's face. I didn't dare to do it after thinking about it. Then Miss Liu threatened me to report me and threatened my family's lives. In the end, although I didn't hurt the face of Liu's concubine's daughter as ordered, I still did something wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince."

Having said this, Hongyu looked up at the expressions of His Majesty and Jiuqian Sui, and immediately felt something was wrong, and said:

"Noble Lady Rou was forced to abort her baby today because she knew she was carrying a little princess and was afraid that the Queen would give birth to a heir before her. That's why she planned to frame the Queen and force her to abort her baby on the day of the Queen Mother's funeral. The Queen had a funeral first and then the noble lady had abortion. Your Majesty will definitely settle accounts with the Queen. When the Queen is dealt with by you, the princess in her belly will be useless. By then, no one in the entire harem will be against the noble lady."

"But who would have thought that when the noble lady framed the queen, something seemed to have gone wrong. The queen was too far away from her to push her, so the noble lady had no choice but to use the servant closest to her as a scapegoat, letting me take the blame for the queen, in order to pin the queen as the murderer and wait for your majesty to decide. Your majesty, my Lord, what I said is true. I hope your majesty and my Lord can forgive me and my family."

……

When Liu Nishang heard Hongyu's reckless words directed at her, she began to hold her stomach and refute:

"No, I didn't do it. Stop talking nonsense, you lowly maid. Did the Queen ask you to frame me? I'm already six months pregnant. I can't possibly hurt myself just to frame the Queen. Your Majesty, please don't believe my lowly maid's words. I'm innocent..."

Before Emperor Dayong could respond, Mo Mingkong stood up, looked at Hongyu and asked:

"Liu Nishang, as the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, actually sent you to disfigure the concubine of the Liu family? Is what you said true?"

Hongyu immediately knocked her forehead loudly, and the red mark on her forehead was already oozing blood. "What I said is true. At that time, Miss Liu had not yet been selected as the Noble Lady by His Majesty, but I was sent to disfigure the concubine's daughter. I never found an opportunity, so I thought I would do it slowly in the future. Who knew that the concubine's daughter offended the emperor and was punished with fifty boards. She was almost expelled from the palace. It was the Empress who passed by and saved the concubine's daughter and made her a second-class maid to serve. Only then did I give up the idea of ​​disfigurement..."

When Mo Mingkong heard that Ting He was almost disfigured by these slaves, and also heard that Ting He had participated in a beauty contest and almost became a member of the dog emperor's harem, he was so angry that he crushed the wooden armrest, scaring Hong Yu and the officials present into silence, and even Emperor Dayong was a little timid.

Mo Mingkong walked forward and grabbed Hongyu's neck, whispering, "How dare you, a slave like you, lay your hands on my He'er? It's not a pity that you die. Your family will be here to accompany you soon."

As soon as he murmured, Mo Mingkong exerted force with his hands and strangled Hongyu to death on the spot. He waved his hand and ordered his men to drag Hongyu's family away as well.

After adjusting his mood, Mo Mingkong said to Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty's vision in choosing women is getting worse and worse. Such a vicious and resolute woman is rare. I just don't know how Your Majesty will deal with the incident in which Concubine Rou staged and harmed the dragon heir in her belly?"

Emperor Da Yong was embarrassed by Mo Mingkong, so he suppressed his inner frustration and said:

"Come here, Liu Nishang has caused chaos in the harem and formed a clique for personal gain. She also staged a plot to harm my heir and sent him to the cold palace to fend for himself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch was about to drag Liu Nishang to the cold palace, but he said, "Stop, I'll see who dares to do it."

Suddenly, a large number of private soldiers and guards emerged from the empress dowager's funeral banquet and surrounded the entire harem.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yong immediately shouted, "Come here, arrest these traitors."
