Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

"I want to report the Queen for plotting to murder the heir to the throne and bringing disaster to the harem. This crime is unforgivable."

For a moment, the entire Jingren Palace was silent.

Yinzhen sat at the top with a gloomy face, counting the eighteen beads one by one in his hand without saying a word.

The concubines who were notified to gather in Jingren Palace lowered their heads one after another. Those who knew the truth, such as Ye Bingshang and An Lingrong, were ready to go, while those who didn't know the truth wished they could disappear on the spot.

A moment later, the empress sitting next to Yinzhen showed horror, slammed the table and chair, stood up, pointed at Concubine Qi and said harshly: "The palace rules are strict, Concubine Qi is not allowed to speak nonsense!"

Concubine Qi met the Queen's gaze with a piercing gaze, and vowed: "If I say even a word of falsehood, I will be struck by five thunderbolts and will never be reborn!"

The sky above the Forbidden City was covered with dark clouds, blocking the sun's rays. All that could be seen was foggy and gray. The air was damp, stuffy and sticky, making people uncomfortable.

The sudden cries of two crows indicate that something ominous may happen.

"Ever since I entered the palace, the Queen has treated the concubines well, cared about the royal heirs, and taken good care of me. I think Concubine Qi has some misunderstanding." Ye Bingshang's voice was gentle and soft. She seemed to be speaking for the Queen, but in fact she was fanning the flames.

An Lingrong glanced at the Queen nervously, then covered her belly with both hands, and opened and closed her lips, not daring to speak.

"My Lady, please don't be fooled by the Queen. She has privately told me and Anpin that she will do everything she can to make you fall out of favor. She has also given me and Anpin many suggestions, but they didn't work."

Concubine Qi spoke clearly and without reservation. The palace was silent again.

Boom——

There was a loud bang, lightning and thunder appeared in the sky, and bright blue light shone through the windows onto everyone's faces, forming a contrasting shadow of light and dark, and at the same time shocking everyone to a crisp.

The Queen rolled her eyes: "..." Concubine Qi, you can't talk nonsense!

An Lingrong gritted her teeth: "..." If you want to go crazy, then go crazy. Why are you dragging me into this?

Concubine Qi nodded secretly with excitement: The Queen is indeed this kind of person.

The other concubines and palace maids present: "..." Can this matter be brought up and discussed in person! Is Lady Qi really stupid?

Oh, it's really stupid to say these words in front of the emperor and so many people.

The victim, Ye Bingshang, held her forehead with her hand, then remembered that the show was not over yet, so she quickly covered her lips with an expression of disbelief, her eyes filled with sadness, disappointment, and fear.

Yinzhen, who usually kept his emotions to himself, couldn't control his expression. He was stunned for a moment, and the look he gave Concubine Qi was filled with murderous intent and pity.

Yinzhen: ...I've opened my eyes. It's rare to find someone this stupid.

Seeing that no one broke the awkward situation, Yinzhen coughed twice: "Do the Queen and Concubine An have anything to explain?"

His voice was steady and gentle, but his eyes were cold.

The Queen would naturally not admit it: "Your Majesty, I have never done anything that is against the will of Heaven and Earth. It was Concubine Qi who slandered me."

He turned his head and looked at Concubine Qi, "Concubine Qi, you just said that I was plotting to murder the heir to the throne without any evidence. It's too childish to swear on such a false statement as being struck by five thunderbolts. Do you know what is the crime of slandering the queen?"

Just shut up, you idiot.

Ye Bingshang and An Lingrong looked at each other. Just when they thought that Concubine Qi was not smart enough to handle the Queen's questioning, they saw Concubine Qi put her index finger together and pointed to the sky.

"I swear on behalf of the Guarjia clan that if I tell even a single lie, the entire clan will be left without descendants!"

Has the Guarjia family been very mean to you?

Ye Bingshang asked the question sincerely in her heart, but unfortunately Concubine Qi couldn't hear her and wouldn't answer her.

Ye Bingshang looked at Yinzhen sadly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi dared to swear on her family, so I think what she said is somewhat true. I really don't know how I have offended the Queen."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be sad about this. I know you very well and you will not be influenced by others." Seeing that Ye Bingshang was sad, Yinzhen comforted her with a few words. He really didn't think it was a big deal. It was just a trick of girls who were jealous and vying for favor.

He now wanted to know what other shocking remarks Concubine Qi could make, but he was also afraid that Concubine Qi would not be able to control her words and reveal the matter of Ling Yunfeng.

Well, it's very confusing.

The Queen now hated Ye Bingshang's pitiful behavior, and hated being bitten back by Concubine Qi even more. However, she felt guilty and was worried that there was evidence that Jianqiu had poisoned and murdered the Fourth Prince.

So she turned her head slightly and looked at Jianqiu who was standing behind her. She saw Jianqiu calmly shaking his head slightly at her, and she regained her composure.

He straightened his expression and said, "How can you believe something that is sworn? Have you forgotten the palace rules that prohibits supernatural powers and nonsense in the palace?"

"Yes, this matter is of great importance. Does Concubine Qi have any real evidence?" Concubine Jing asked tentatively.

Concubine Qi whispered to Jingtai, "Go and present the pearl necklace."

Seeing the red jade necklace clearly, the queen breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a false alarm. She thought the cause of the Fourth Prince's death had been discovered. A necklace was nothing. She had overestimated Concubine Qi.

Lady Qi: "This necklace was given to me by the Empress. She said it was a red jade tribute from a foreign country and asked me to wear it every day. Who knew it was actually a red musk bead that would cause women to become infertile!"

Concubine Qi felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at the Queen. If the Queen and Yinzhen were not so close, she might have rushed up and pulled the Queen's hair.

"The Queen has such a vicious heart. If I hadn't discovered that this pearl necklace is different from the red jade bracelet that the Imperial Concubine gave me, and if Concubine An wasn't proficient in spices, I would have died without knowing that this is something that harms people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Empress An Lingrong. It was well known that An Lingrong and Noble Lady Qi were both on the Empress' side. How could their internal struggle have reached this point?

An Lingrong: “…”

Facing the Queen's fierce gaze, An Lingrong could only pretend to shrink back timidly without saying a word. She was annoyed that Concubine Qi was useless and did not cause much damage to the Queen, but instead injured friendly forces by mistake.

"Making women infertile?" Ye Bingshang exclaimed, adding fuel to the fire for Concubine Qi. "I once heard from Imperial Doctor Wen that a piece of musk was dug out from under the osmanthus tree in Suiyuxuan. That osmanthus tree was sent there by the Empress."

An Lingrong added in a very light voice: "Not only under the osmanthus tree, but also under the crabapple trees in Sui Yuxuan. I think that's why Concubine Fang had a miscarriage..."

As he spoke, he cautiously glanced in the direction of the Queen, and when he noticed the Queen's gaze, he quickly lowered his head even lower.

"The evidence is conclusive. Your Majesty, do you have anything to argue about?" Concubine Qi immediately interjected.

"If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, you can ask Doctor Wen to come and question me. My body has also been damaged by the Red Musk Pearl. The Doctor will know if I am lying once he examines me."
