The Destiny of Going to Hell

Chapter 121: Legend of Zhen Huan - Meng Jingxian 11

When the palace maid saw so many people, she knelt on the ground and trembled with fear, and the bag in her hand fell out.

Xia Dongchun scolded directly, "You unruly slave, how dare you smuggle the young master's things? Are you going to sell the jewelry?"

Xia Dongchun went forward to check, opened the bundle, and found that there were no gold, silver, jewelry or other yellow or white items inside, only some clothes and pants.

Su Peisheng frowned, "How dare you run away with the young lady's clothes?"

Hua Fei, Xia Dongchun and Cao Qinmo exchanged glances,

Everyone understands that this matter has been accomplished.

Shen Meizhuang's originally happy face instantly turned red with anger. She thought she was smart and had good control over her subordinates, but she didn't expect that such a scandal would happen in her palace in front of everyone.

Where can she put her face?

"Hurry up and take this traitor away!"

An Lingrong at the side questioned, "Who would steal only some clothes?"

Concubine Xin was also bold. She walked forward and started to look through the clothes. "Huh? There is blood on the clothes!" She said and quickly threw down the things in her hand.

Everyone was still guessing when Cao Qinmo asked quietly, "Could it be that Huipin had redness?"

Shen Meizhuang was stunned, "No."

Seeing that things were going as expected, Concubine Hua suggested to Yinzhen, "I think it would be better to send this palace maid directly to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation." Concubine Hua and her party all agreed.

Hearing that she would be sent to the Ministry of Punishment to be tortured, Fuling knelt down and cried, "My lord, please save me. I am here to serve you. You cannot abandon me!"

When Shen Meizhuang saw Yinzhen looking at her, she was extremely ashamed and angry, "You have dirty hands and feet, and you still want me to save you? Why don't you send someone to drag her away quickly!"

Fuling started acting, her face full of disappointment towards Shen Meizhuang. She kowtowed to Yinzhen and said bluntly that everything was done by Shen Meizhuang to win favor. The bloodstains on the clothes were because Shen Meizhuang had her period, and she planned to secretly throw them away.

Yinzhen half-closed his eyes, unable to tell his emotions. Shen Meizhuang turned pale after hearing Fuling's words, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that! It was this slave who slandered me!"

Zhen Huan also came out to help, "Since it is such a serious matter, why would you be asked to handle it when there are so many people around? Your Majesty, please look carefully, Sister Mei must have been wronged!"

Shen Meizhuang's eyes showed gratitude to Zhen Huan. Sister Huan was the best. The others were just in a happy mood, but now they were all laughing at her and wishing she would be brought down.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Zhen Huan suggested that Yinzhen go and ask the imperial physician to check whether she was pregnant or not. Yinzhen nodded in agreement and wanted to ask Su Peisheng to go, but he heard Shen Meizhuang say, "Please ask Eunuch Su to ask the imperial physician Liu Bin who usually diagnoses my pulse."

Yinzhen secretly complained in his heart, Shen Meizhuang is really...

Zhen Huan was helpless and simply took a half step back to distance herself from Shen Meizhuang. How could she stop someone who was seeking death?

Su Peisheng brought a doctor with him, but it was not Liu Bin. "Your Majesty, Doctor Liu is not in the Imperial Hospital, and his family is empty. I brought Doctor Jiang with me."

Yinzhen asked angrily, "The house is empty? Concubine Hui, this Liu Bin is the imperial physician you personally recommended and have been using!"

How could Shen Meizhuang not understand at this point? Someone had set up a trap to frame her! She pretended to be calm, but her body couldn't help shaking.

In order to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, Yinzhen still ordered Doctor Jiang to take Shen Meizhuang's pulse.

Imperial Physician Jiang was from the lineage of Concubine Hua. He took Shen Meizhuang's pulse and found that she was actually pregnant! He was shocked and remembered what Nian Shilan had said, so he decided to be the only imperial physician present.

So he soon burned his boats and told Yinzhen that Shen Meizhuang was not pregnant!

The atmosphere at the scene was stagnant, and everyone's faces showed expressions of panic and fear. Shen Meizhuang stood up and said, "Impossible! How can a healthy child not have a fetus? You quack doctor!"

Shen Meizhuang was still chattering, and Yinzhen was furious, "Enough! I used to think you were a steady person, but you actually did something like this! How dare you deceive me!"

Yinzhen was angry, but he was not angry about Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy. He grew up in the previous emperor's harem, so how could he not know the little tricks in the harem?

He was just angry at Shen Meizhuang's stupidity, and he actually gave palace power to such a stupid person and tried to use her to attack Concubine Hua?

He was angry that he didn't know people well.

When inviting the imperial physician, Shen Meizhuang specifically asked for Liu Bin. Isn't this a cover-up? Without Shen Meizhuang's cooperation, this plot against Shen Meizhuang would not have been so successful!

Zhen Huan also knew that she was powerless to save the situation, so she said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Sister Mei. Even though Sister Mei made a big mistake, it was because she loved Your Majesty too much and was confused for a moment."

Zhen Huan looked back at Shen Meizhuang and said, "I hope the emperor will spare Sister Mei this time for the sake of our past friendship. If the emperor remembers Sister Mei's kindness in the future, won't he regret it?"

When Shen Meizhuang heard Zhen Huan's words, she straightened up from her kneeling position, her eyes full of disbelief. With Zhen Huan's intelligence, didn't she know that this was proof that she had faked pregnancy to win favor?

For a moment, Shen Meizhuang was extremely disappointed with Zhen Huan and her heart was filled with sadness.

An Lingrong's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile. Is this the sisterhood that Zhen Huan talked about? Is this the sisterhood that she was afraid of being implicated and directly confirming someone else's guilt? Then this sisterhood is really worthless!

Although the other concubines were somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Meizhuang's good luck, they also looked down on Zhen Huan's false nobleness for "stabbing" her good friend in the face.

Moreover, Zhen Huan's words were clearly meant to persuade the Emperor that instead of regretting it later, he should either forgive her now or execute her directly.

It is obvious which path the emperor will choose.

Everyone looked at Zhen Huan mockingly, but saw that Zhen Huan stood straight, and she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Yinzhen was about to drag Shen Meiyu away, but he saw Meng Jingxian rushing over with several imperial doctors, with the girl Caiyue hanging far behind them.

Yinzhen frowned, took a step forward and held Meng Jingxian's hand, "Why are you here in such a noisy scene?"

Yinzhen glared at Caiyue. Meng Jingxian coughed twice and patted Yinzhen's hand to comfort him.

"Such a big thing has happened. I always like to read storybooks. It's such a good show, so I naturally want to watch it."

Meng Jingxian's words made Shen Meizhuang tremble with anger. In Meng Jingxian's eyes, the lives of her nine clansmen were just a good show?

But Meng Jingxian slowly asked Yinzhen a question, "Caiyue has already told me about this matter, but I think there are too many doubts about it."

Meng Jingxian looked at Yinzhen and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, please understand. Why did Concubine Hui use her instead of her own maid? Moreover, this maid didn't go earlier or later, but chose to deal with the clothes today when there are so many people around, and she chose to do it when Your Majesty is here."

Everyone showed doubtful expressions. Concubine Hua looked at Meng Jingxian's sweet words and was worried, "Concubine He is not here today. Are you trying to change Concubine Hui's testimony based on the one-sided words of a maid?"

Meng Jingxian shook her head. "I just think it's too much of a coincidence. Besides, it's the time when I should have consulted Doctor Liu. How could he just disappear by such a coincidence?"

Meng Jingxian smiled at Yinzhen, "I am not here today to plead for Huipin, but for the sake of the emperor's offspring. Since it involves a false pregnancy, it doesn't seem rigorous to just rely on one imperial physician to make the diagnosis, so I brought a few imperial physicians with a good reputation to see the case together."
