The concubine is extremely cautious

On the fifth day of April, everyone arrived at Purple Mountain from the capital.

That day, Ning Wanyin met her family in the palace, and at night she went to the bonfire party with the emperor, coming and going together.

So I definitely won’t be free on the fifth day.

Li Rao thought for a moment and said vaguely, "After the summer hunting began, on the sixth, seventh, or possibly the eighth day, I didn't pay much attention. I just remember that it was dusk and His Majesty had not returned from hunting. You took the opportunity to have a private meeting with Song Chengyi!"

"Unfortunately, I did not leave the Zijin Palace at dusk on the sixth, seventh and eighth day of April. All the palace servants can testify for me." Ning Wanyin said calmly.

As we all know, Ning Wanyin and the emperor lived in the main palace of the Zijin Palace - the Zijin Palace.

The palace maids here are all the emperor's people.

Natural and credible.

"That means it's a little earlier than dusk..." Li Rao made up for it.

"I was in the palace from morning to night for those three days," said Ning Wanyin.

Li Rao choked up for a moment. "It's been so long, I can't remember it clearly... It was one of the days of the summer hunt, and you secretly left the palace while His Majesty was away! Could it be that Concubine Ning wants to say that she has never left the palace?"

"Except for the banquet with His Majesty on the fifth day of the New Year, I have indeed never set foot out of the palace!" Ning Wanyin curled her thin lips with a hint of sneer.

Because of fear of being assassinated.

Ning Wanyin has never left the house.

The Ziji Palace where she and the emperor lived was guarded by the emperor on three floors. Apart from this palace, other places were very dangerous in Ning Wanyin's eyes!

How could Ning Wanyin, such a cautious person, dare to go out and wander around and risk being assassinated?

During those days, she did nothing but call her mother over to chat.

I just stayed alone, reading and embroidering.

She didn't even take a step out of the palace gate!

Everyone was stunned and felt it was unbelievable.

Because no other concubine would stay indoors like her.

After seeing the sky in all four corners in the palace, it was a rare opportunity to come out, so which concubine would not take a walk around Purple Mountain to see the beautiful scenery.

Concubine Cen's originally calm expression instantly froze when she heard these words.

Because Ning Wanyin lived with the emperor, it was not convenient to send people to spy secretly, so no one knew that Ning Wanyin really did not go out.

Except, the Emperor.

The Emperor's people are everywhere in and out of the Ziji Palace.

How could he not know whether Ning Wanyin had left the palace?

This was also the case when Li Rao reported that Ning Wanyin had an affair with Song Chengyi during the summer hunt, and the emperor directly questioned him impatiently.

Isn't this a blatant frame-up?

"Your Majesty, except for the time I was traveling with you, I have never stepped out of the palace. Please understand." Ning Wanyin said aggrievedly.

Helian Qi nodded, "I know."

Wang Degui saw the stunned crowd and explained, "This is indeed true. The palace maids who served in the palace at that time can testify to this!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Li is deliberately framing me! From this, it can be seen that all the witnesses and evidence are false..." Ning Wanyin was about to cry, her eyes were blurred with tears:

"Lord Li has fabricated lies and framed me. Your Majesty, please help me!"

Song Chengyi was extremely panicked, but when he saw Ning Wanyin forcibly prove that there was no secret meeting and even proved that the other evidence was false, he reacted and immediately knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, I am wrongly accused. This attendant once stole my jade pendant and resold it. He was caught, beaten and sent out of the house. He holds a grudge against me because of this incident, so he framed and slandered me."

"As for what Master Duan said, it is indeed true. But I was just curious about who had solved the chess manual at the time, and I didn't ask more than one question. The rest is all fabricated. Master also said that he had never seen us meet in private."

"I think someone found out that I asked this extra question, so they fabricated this story to frame me. Your Majesty is a chess lover, so you must understand that it is normal for a chess lover to ask an extra question when he finds out that the chess game has been solved."

Why did they spread rumors about you and Concubine Ning?

There has to be a reason.

Song Chengyi was not too stupid. He only admitted the most insignificant thing.

That is to ask who the owner of the chess record is.

As for the latter, I do not acknowledge them at all.

This sounds reasonable.

Song Gu was worried about his son and stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that my son has never mentioned any marriage proposal to me. This matter is completely false."

Helian Qi looked at Li Rao with a cold look in his eyes: "Li Rao, you framed me, your crime is extremely heinous, you shall be sentenced to death!"

Li Rao was confused.

Most of the evidence was true, yet we lost.

Who could have thought that when the emperor took his concubines out for the summer hunt, this concubine actually stayed in the palace and refused to come out at all?

Then you can stay in the palace.

What are you doing out here!!!

It is a rare opportunity to go out of the palace. Looking back at all the concubines in this dynasty, Ning Wanyin is the first one in the world who has stayed in the temporary palace and never left the house!

Who would have thought of this?

He lost the game that had been foolproof, but he did it here.

Li Rao was angry and aggrieved. Seeing the eunuchs coming to drag him away, Li Rao hurriedly shouted:

"Your Majesty, I have evidence! Song Chengyi once went to Bifeng Temple to pray for a marriage, and the marriage talisman was inscribed with his and Ning Wanyin's names. He kept the marriage talisman in a brocade bag that he never left!"

He also heard this from the servant.

Because there is no way to verify the authenticity of the marriage talisman, and it is even more impossible to confirm whether Song Chengyi is still carrying it with him...

So Li Rao didn't mention this just now for the sake of caution.

But Ning Wanyin unexpectedly proved that the secret meeting was fake, and even marked all the real evidence as fake...

At this critical moment, he had no choice but to take a risk.

I hope what the boy said is true, and I hope Song Chengyi still has the marriage talisman with him.

As soon as these words came out...

Everyone thought it was a bit outrageous.

Is Song Chengyi a fool? Carrying this kind of thing with him.

Ning Wanyin looked straight at Song Chengyi, but saw panic in his eyes.

My heart suddenly sank:

No way, no way? Is there really such a thing?

Li Rao was desperate and bet everything on the marriage talisman. He said, "I confess the truth. I did not see Concubine Ning and Song Chengyi having a secret meeting. These two were very careful and I did not get the chance."

The emperor has proved that Ning Wanyin did not have a secret meeting with Song Chengyi.

He could only admit that this was a rumor.

"But everything else is true. This marriage talisman, which Song Chengyi keeps close to his body, is the evidence that the two of them have secretly decided to spend their lives together. Your Majesty, please look into it carefully!" Li Rao kowtowed.

Talismans are usually written with prayer words by high-ranking monks.

But in order to prevent outsiders from knowing that Ning Wanyin's name was written on the marriage talisman, Song Chengyi wrote it secretly himself.

As long as it can be proven that this marriage symbol really exists...

That means he is caught red-handed! He can turn the situation around!

Helian Qi's face was as gloomy as water, "Come here, search me!"

Song Chengyi wanted to stop him, but he couldn't find a suitable reason for the time being, so he could only panic and let Wang Degui search and take away his treasure bag.

Wang Degui quickly presented the brocade bag to the emperor.

Helian Qi opened the brocade bag with a grim expression...

He took out a yellow talisman folded into a triangle.

The atmosphere in the entire hall froze at this moment. Everyone was staring at the triangle symbol. The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
