Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

A trembling concubine slowly stood up. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Concubine Wu who was hiding in the crowd with a shocked look on her face: "Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes. It was Concubine Wu who pushed the South American man!"

Concubine Wu would never have thought that the usually timid Concubine Tan would dare to turn around and report her at the critical moment.

"You," Lady Wu was so angry that her eyes and mouth were crooked after being betrayed, "How can you prove that I pushed it? Are you going to slander me just by your mouth?"

Tan Cairen knew that this was her only chance. If she failed to overthrow Concubine Wu, she might not live to see the sunrise tomorrow morning.

So she yelled at the top of her lungs, trying to overpower the other person with her momentum: "You are the closest to the South Americans, who else is it if not you?"

How could Lady Wu be willing to be overthrown for such a reason?

"How could I be so close alone?" She retorted, "You weren't far away at the time, were you?"

There were too many new beauties entering the palace, and Yun Ting had no idea who the two people arguing in front of him were.

He frowned and asked Gao Shu who had returned, "Who are these two?"

Because of his job, Gao Shu had some impression of the people in the palace. He quickly identified them by their clothes: "The one who reported it was Concubine Tan, and the one who defended it was Concubine Wu. They both lived in the same palace with Concubine Nan."

Living in the same palace?

These words made Yun Ting frown. He glanced at the soaked South American and his heart ached.

It must be uncomfortable to stay in the lake for such a long time in such a cold day.

The two men argued for a long time, each expressing their own opinions. He did not yet understand the ins and outs of the South American falling into the water, so it was difficult for him to jump to conclusion.

It is better to understand the whole story first and then find out the real culprit through the details.

"You both have your own opinions. I don't know the whole story, so I can't tell who is right." Yun Ting looked at Concubine Xian, who had the highest rank in the audience, and said, "Concubine Xian, tell me, what is going on."

Empress Xian told the whole story, starting from when Lady Tan suggested visiting the Imperial Garden: "Today when we were paying respects at Kunning Palace, Sister Tan suggested visiting the Imperial Garden. The Empress was not feeling well, and Lady Shu Guifei was unwilling to move around, so she asked me to lead the sisters to enjoy the flowers."

"Oh," Yun Ting listened and couldn't help but glance at Tan Cairen who suggested the garden tour, "What flowers are good to see in this weather?"

Tan Cairen wanted to quibble, but Yun Ting raised his hand to suppress her. He sneered, "Empress Xian, please continue."

"When we arrived at the lake, the sisters complained of being tired, so I arranged for them to sit down in the pavilion and chat," Empress Xian tried to recall the scene at that time, "while they were chatting, Concubine Wu suggested playing a game."

Feeling that this was the key point, Yun Ting took a step forward and asked Concubine Xian: "What game?"

"Blind touching means touching someone with your eyes covered," Empress Xian paused for a moment, "Initially no one wanted to be the one who was blindfolded, so Concubine Wu started this."

After a while without any information about the South Americans, Yun Ting interrupted her: "What does this have to do with the South Americans? How did the South Americans fall into the water?"

Concubine Xian was about to talk about the South Beauty, so she quickly sped up the topic: "Because Concubine Wu touched the South Beauty, the South Beauty took over the role of being blindfolded. After that, I was far away and couldn't see clearly. I only knew that the South Beauty seemed to hear some noise and walked over there..."

At this point, Empress Xian hesitated, her words intermittent: "Later, the South American seemed to have fallen, flipped over the guardrail, and accidentally fell into the water."

"However," Empress Xian seemed unwilling to let the concubines quarrel again. She guessed casually, "The South American was blindfolded at the time. She might not be able to see clearly under her feet. She might have accidentally tripped and fell into the lake."

"Fell into the lake by yourself?" Yun Ting looked at the trembling Yun Ji, "South American, what do you think? Did someone push you?"

Yun Ji had no need to lie, so he answered simply and concisely: "Yes."

Hearing this "yes", Yun Ting felt so distressed. He decisively and unconditionally believed Yun Ji and angrily questioned the concubines: "Who was closest to the South American at that time? Who pushed it?"

The concubines who were unfortunately dragged to be scapegoats burst into tears again: "It's really not you, my concubine!"

Yun Ting was getting a headache from the noise. He turned his gaze to Tan Cairen and said, "So, you want to report Lady Wu. Do you have any evidence?"

evidence?

Tan Cairen broke out in a cold sweat. When she listened to Concubine Wu's plan yesterday, she never thought that one day she could report Concubine Wu and escape from her suffering, so she didn't keep any evidence at all!

Tan Cairen thought quickly and tried to get away with it with other words: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu and Concubine Nanmei have never gotten along. When she saw Concubine Nanmei sleeping with you, she became jealous and set up this trap overnight!"

"I don't want to hear this," Yun Ting interrupted her impatiently, "I'm just asking, do you have any evidence?"

Finally thinking of the evidence, Tan Cairen fell to her knees and made a desperate move: "Lady Wu always dresses herself every day and never asks anyone to do it for her. I think her hands are still stained with the gold powder she used to put on makeup in the morning. If she did it, the South Beauty's back should also be stained."

Yun Ting frowned: "But the South American entered the water, this gold powder..."

Tan Cairen was eager to prove it. She interrupted Yun Ting hastily and shouted, "Gold powder is not easily washed away by water. Your Majesty will know once you test it!"

Yun Ting was dissatisfied with her interrupting him, but in order to find out the truth, he barely endured it and reached out to uncover Yun Ji's official uniform.

Even though it is a cloudy day and the light is not very good, the gold powder scattered on the shirt is still dazzling.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Concubine Wu fell to the ground, muttering to herself: "How is it possible..."

Yun Ting looked at her with disgust and announced the punishment: "Wu framed a concubine in the same palace, and she is demoted to Baolin and sent to the cold palace!"

Hearing that she was going to be sent to the cold palace, Concubine Wu was so scared that she burst into tears and rushed over to pull Yun Ting's sleeve: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Yun Ting waved her away and ordered the guards around him: "Drag her away and take her to the cold palace immediately."

Concubine Wu was dragged to the cold palace by the guards, and her voice became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

The screams of Concubine Wu seemed to still linger in their ears. With her as a lesson, the concubines felt sympathetic.

The emperor dotes on South Americans so much that if someone falls into the water, he will conduct a thorough investigation. If the truth is uncovered, he will send her to the cold palace!

They lowered their heads and began to think about their future strategy against the South Americans.

Yun Ting felt sorry for Yun Ji shivering in wet clothes, so he asked Concubine Xian, "Which palace is closest to this place?"

Seeing the emperor's regard for the South American, Concubine Xian quickly said, "Your Majesty, this place is closest to Zhuixia Palace."

"Who lives in Zhuixia Palace?"

"It's Nan Meiren, Wu Meiren, Tan Cairen and Lin Cairen's four sisters who are living here," Concubine Xian quickly changed her words after realizing that Wu Meiren had been sent to the cold palace, "Now there are three of them living here."

Yun Ting didn't care how many people lived there. When he heard that Zhuixia Palace was where the South American lived, he nodded and said, "That's great. Let the South American go back to the palace to change clothes."

Yun Ji stood up with Lan Fu's help, and happened to meet Yun Ting's affectionate gaze: "South American, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Thinking that Yun Ting was his biological brother, Yun Ji got goosebumps all over the floor. He curled his lips and replied, "It's not bitter. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your wise decision."

They were clearly words of thanks, but Yun Ting felt that the South Americans were more grateful to the Regent. Jealousy rose again, and he found fault with them: "Your voice is so soft, are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Ji didn't expect that he would be criticized for saying thank you. His hands and feet were weak and his head was dizzy. He nodded exhaustedly: "Yes."

The world was spinning around and Yun Ji was caught off guard and picked up sideways.

Yun Ting hugged him and lowered his voice, but it was still a little childish: "You are not feeling well, why didn't you say so earlier?"

It was the first time that Yun Ji was hugged like this by a man, and he also said strange things to her. She was speechless for a moment and simply pretended to faint.

However, he was still worried about Nan Yingzhi's words "protect yourself" and even though he fainted, he still held Yun Ting's neck tightly with both hands, fearing that he would fall.

How could Yun Ting not see through these little tricks? He just thought that the South American was really scared by falling into the water and was throwing a tantrum.

It was pitiful to see him struggling in the water in such a cold day. If the South American had not been seen by himself and the Regent by chance, he might not have survived.

Feeling sad, he raised the corner of his mouth and ordered Gao Shu beside him: "Gao Shu, ask Doctor Chen to come to Zhuixia Palace."

Hearing this, the "fainted" Yun Ji almost struggled.

Doctor Chen, Chen Hong?

Why did it have to be him? !
