Chapter 73 Help me up, I can still eat melons

"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged. The Sixth Prince said he wanted to see the fish, and I have tried to dissuade him again and again, but he insisted. I can only carefully protect him, but, but..."

"But what? You're so hesitant, I wonder if you really did something wrong?" Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Chen with a squint, "Or are you protecting someone?"

"No, I didn't. It's just that, not really, the Queen suddenly rushed out and pushed the Sixth Prince into the pond. I think the Queen must have been careless."

"When this servant was about to rescue the Sixth Prince, His Majesty accidentally slipped and fell into the water. I called for help immediately, but the place was remote and sparsely populated, so it took a while for anyone to come."

"It's my fault."

"It's your fault," Si Muzhen said coldly, "It's a grave mistake to slander the Queen. Come, drag him away and give him twenty slaps in the face before bringing him back for trial."

Feng Ling shook her head in disbelief, "No, Your Majesty, I did not slander the Empress. What I said is true... Noble Concubine Chen, please save me, Noble Concubine Chen..."

Feng Ling was dragged down and slapped in the face, and wailing could be heard from outside. The remaining five palace servants were also afraid that they would be in trouble, so they immediately told everything they saw and heard, fearing that they would make a mistake in a word.

A young eunuch sweeping the imperial garden was the first to speak: "I was originally sweeping fallen leaves in the imperial garden when I heard someone shouting not far away that someone had fallen into the water. Although I can't swim, I thought that having more people could give me an extra pair of hands to help.

"When we arrived at the scene, the Empress and the Sixth Prince had already fallen into the water. That's when I heard Miss Feng Ling say that the Empress and the Sixth Prince had fallen into the water."

"I'm with Hazelnut," the young eunuch pointed at the young eunuch kneeling beside him, "We were on duty together today, cleaning, and we went to the scene together."

The young eunuch named Hazelnut responded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, is it really as they say? Perhaps it was the Empress... I am just guessing. The Empress once accidentally pushed Concubine Chen. Could it be..."

Si Muzhen glanced at Concubine Xian with a sharp look, and Concubine Xian immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head guiltily.

I am unwilling to accept that the emperor is being too partial.

It was obvious that the emperor had always treated the queen coldly before, but now he was so blatantly partial to her. She was filled with jealousy and hatred.

Si Muzhen pointed at the other three people and said, "You speak."

One of the very calm palace maids pointed at the trembling young maid and said, "We were ordered by Concubine He to go to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers to make sachets. When we passed the lotus pond, we did hear a palace maid shouting, 'The Empress and the Sixth Prince have gone into the water.'"

"But I didn't go there immediately. Instead, I went with the patrolling guards. These three guards are present. They can testify for me."

The guards all nodded to indicate that the palace maid was telling the truth.

Si Muzhen's eyes were fixed on the last young eunuch, who hung his head and did not move. Lin Su pushed him and found that the young eunuch had fainted from fright.

Lin Su raised his hands awkwardly to show that he had done nothing.

Si Muzhen said, "Take him away for treatment first."

After a while, Feng Ling, who had been tortured, was brought back again. Her mouth was swollen and dripping with blood.

"Are you telling the truth?" Si Muzhen said coldly.

Feng Ling looked at Concubine Chen without any warning.

Concubine Chen frowned.

Feng Ling suddenly hugged Concubine Chen's legs and cried, "Your Majesty, please save this slave, Your Majesty, please save this slave..."

Concubine Chen felt a little reluctant, after all, Feng Ling had been with her for so many years. However, this time it involved the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Prince, and Feng Ling was someone in her palace, so it was not easy for her to come forward and plead for mercy.

"Feng Ling, just tell the truth. The emperor is wise and will definitely clear your name."

Feng Ling suddenly lost control, pushed Concubine Chen's legs away, and snorted coldly, "Humph, tell the truth? I told the emperor the truth as the queen instructed. I was punished like this, and the queen didn't plead for me, and now she wants to point a fire pit for me to jump into. I did so much for you, and you actually treat me like this..."

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Chen asked in confusion, "What did I tell you?"

"Well, Your Majesty actually wants to give up this servant. I no longer care about the relationship between master and servant that we have had for so many years."

Feng Ling crawled in front of Si Muzhen and said, "Your Majesty, I will tell you the truth now."

"Your Majesty, all of this was done by Concubine Chen, who ordered this servant to do it. She pushed the Sixth Prince into this and put the blame on the Empress. These were all Concubine Chen's ideas."

"What?" Concubine Chen's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. Fortunately, the palace maid and Concubine Hui beside her supported her in time.

"You are accusing me, Your Majesty." Concubine Chen knelt down, "I did not do it."

"Your Majesty, I believe that Noble Concubine Chen is not such a person." It was the Shufei who spoke very quietly until now. "You said that Noble Concubine Chen ordered it. How could she hurt her own child? How dare she hurt the heir to the throne?"

"Because the Sixth Prince is not the Emperor's biological child at all. He is the offspring of Concubine Chen's affair with another man. We servants have been keeping this secret for Concubine Chen. However, as the Sixth Prince grew older, Concubine Chen was afraid that the truth would be exposed. So she decided to create a false impression that the Sixth Prince had drowned and then put the blame on the Empress, killing two birds with one stone."

"You're talking nonsense." Concubine Chen felt a lump of blood stuck in her throat. "Who on earth instructed you to frame me like this? Your Majesty, I and the Sixth Prince are innocent. It's absolutely not what she said."

"Your Majesty, our queen is innocent. It was Feng Ling who framed her." Feng Xu, another senior maid of Concubine Chen, spoke out to prove Concubine Chen's innocence.

Concubine Hui also spoke up, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Concubine Chen is absolutely not such a person. I believe these things have nothing to do with Concubine Chen. Please be clear about this."

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. The reason Noble Concubine Chen had a difficult birth when she gave birth to the Sixth Prince was because she deliberately bumped into the Empress. In fact, Noble Concubine Chen is a double-faced person."

"Empress, why are you here?" Lin Su looked up and was startled to see Wei Yu standing at the door.

Doctor Wen also caught up, "Ancestor, you want to kill me, I still want to keep my head for a few more years, let's go back and lie down."

Yinlan rushed over with a cloak, "My Queen, don't be willful, you haven't recovered yet..."

Before she could finish her words, Wei Yu disappeared, and the cloak in her hand also disappeared.

Yinlan: “…”

Si Muzhen quickly carried Wei Yu in and covered her with a cloak.

"Help me up, I can eat more, I want to eat melon..."

He is indeed a flower grower who loves to watch the fun all his life.
