The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year
Chapter 39 Feng Ruozhao 10
In order to exonerate herself, Concubine Hua turned the tables in front of the Emperor, insisting that Zhen Huan had an affair with the previous emperor and violated palace rules. However, she denied Zhen Huan's accusations and the testimony of the Nian family soldiers, and kept saying that she was wronged.
Zhen Huan said that she framed Shen Meizhuang to fake pregnancy to win favor, and she argued that although she disliked Shen Meizhuang, she was just jealous because she loved the emperor too much.
In terms of the degree of dislike, it is obvious that Zhen Huan and her are more incompatible. If she wanted to harm someone because of this, why would she leave Zhen Huan alone and instead harm Shen Meizhuang, who is not as favored as Zhen Huan?
Besides, even Zhen Huan was just a small noble lady with no family background and no children. As the Concubine Hua who assisted in managing the six palaces and was deeply favored by the emperor, she disdained to deal with her.
She even argued that the confessions made by the Nian family soldiers were forced by Zhen Huan and her father.
She did arrange for her family to look for Liu Bin, but that was only because there were rumors that Shen Meizhuang was framed for faking her pregnancy, and it even vaguely pointed to her. In order to prove her innocence, she asked people to arrest Liu Bin. Who knew that the Zhen family and the Shen family were also looking for him.
"Lady Wan said that my family had murdered Liu Bin, and I even said that it was you two families who wanted to silence them!"
He even openly provoked, "The men I sent were all brave warriors who had followed my brother into battle. To think they were defeated by Shen Zishan's men, and even suffered such heavy casualties, my brother is truly ashamed!"
"You! Your Majesty, please don't talk about other things. The fatal wound on Liu Bin was clearly caused by your family members." At this point, Zhen Huan turned around and knelt down to plead with the emperor:
"Your Majesty, there were no fewer than ten Nian family soldiers who fled after killing Liu Bin. Nian Liu'er and his brothers have confessed. Please investigate and clear Sister Mei's name!"
Concubine Hua thought her sister-in-law was too unreliable. What a spineless person she sent!
But she stubbornly refused to admit it, "Your Majesty! I am innocent!"
She clutched the hem of the emperor's robe and cried, "Ever since entering the palace, I have served Your Majesty wholeheartedly and have been loyal to you, with no second thoughts. But now, you are being slandered for having an affair with the previous emperor and framing Concubine Shen. I am truly speechless!"
The Emperor frowned and looked at Zhen Huan: "Lady Wan, do you have any evidence to prove that what Concubine Hua said is untrue?"
Zhen Huan smiled faintly and pulled a secret letter from her sleeve, presenting it to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, please read this. This is the confession of Nian Gengyao's personal guards. They confirm that Concubine Hua indeed conspired with Nian Gengyao to kill Liu Bin and silence him. Furthermore, there is crucial evidence in this box. Your Majesty, please examine it carefully."
Concubine Hua's eyes widened as she roared, "Zhen Huan, how dare you frame me! These are all false evidences fabricated by you, Zhen Yuandao, and Shen Zishan. I and the Nian family have never done anything like this!"
Zhen Huan remained unmoved and continued, "Hua Fei, you've resorted to any means necessary to exonerate yourself, but facts speak louder than words. Nian Gengyao's personal guards have already confessed. Do you still wish to deny it?"
Concubine Hua was startled, but she still pretended to be calm: "Humph, even if there is a confession from the personal guard, so what? Who knows whether it is true or not? Besides, if he falls into your hands, won't you be able to torture him into confessing?"
The emperor was silent for a moment, staring at Concubine Hua with a sharp gaze: "Concubine Hua, I will give you another chance. Is Shen's fake pregnancy related to you? Was it you who ordered the Nian family to silence Liu Bin when he was killed? If you confess, I may be able to give you a lighter sentence. Otherwise..."
Concubine Hua gritted her teeth and firmly denied, "Your Majesty, my brother and I have always been loyal to you. These evidences are all false. It was Zhen Huan who was so audacious that she fabricated evidence to frame me. I beg Your Majesty to understand this."
The emperor's face darkened, and he stared into Hua Fei's eyes.
Concubine Hua felt guilty after being looked at, so she looked away, but she still refused to confess.
Fat Ju knew that Concubine Hua was used to bullying others in the palace because of his favor, but he didn't expect that she would be so stubborn and could lie with her eyes open even with the evidence right in front of her.
He waved his hand, signaling the guards to take Concubine Hua away, and said in a disappointed tone: "In this case, I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Before the truth comes out, Concubine Hua, you should stay in your own courtyard. Su Peisheng, take Concubine Hua back."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Hua wanted to beg again, but Fat Ju waved his hand and didn't want to see her again.
"My Lady, please, I will take you back."
Su Peisheng bowed and respectfully invited Concubine Hua to leave.
Concubine Hua was indignant. She knew that this time she would have a hard time getting away. But she still refused to give in and glared at Zhen Huan: "Zhen Huan, don't be too proud! I won't let you go easily!"
Fat Orange got a headache from her noise. He rubbed his head irritably and closed his eyes to avoid looking at her.
When Concubine Hua saw that the emperor was unwilling to pay attention to her, she became even angrier. With red eyes, she left like a toad in a huff.
She looked so aggrieved that if you didn't know her, you would think she was bullied by someone.
But no matter how unwilling Concubine Hua was, she could only speak harshly in front of Zhen Huan.
Not only did Zhen Huan have evidence that the Nian family was hunting down Liu Bin, but she also had clues that she had previously arranged for someone to poison Shen Meiyu. This time, she was doomed to lose.
