The Queen of the TV Series: Take turns to sit in my house this year

What kind of look? I'm looking at you like an idiot~

"Your Majesty, please do not blame me. I know I am innocent and I believe that the Empress has nothing to do with this matter. So I am curious, who on earth could have the ability to deceive Your Majesty?

Or perhaps, what ability does the person behind this have that could allow His Majesty to…” Protect her.

Huang Qiying's eyes expressed everything clearly.

Should I admit that I was incompetent and was fooled by the woman, or should I admit that I was biased and protected the vicious woman?

Hongli doesn't want to choose any of them!

"The reason the Emperor suspects me is that my maid Chunxi went out of the palace to buy things on the day of the imperial physician's consultation. However, Chunxi goes out of the palace every third day of the month, and the Emperor will know this once he investigates.

Coincidentally, Shi Liu, a maid from the Qingfengsi, had also left the palace that day, and before leaving, she made a special trip to visit Concubine Xian.

This Shi Liu once worked at Jingren Palace. So after Empress Ulanara passed away, Shi Liu was assigned to the Qingfeng Division. Even after Concubine Xian was confined, Shi Liu took good care of her, clearly remembering her former master. If we're talking about suspicion, Concubine Xian is far more suspected than I am."

Huang Qiying's voice wasn't loud, but it was like thunder in Hongli's ears. He had already ordered people to keep quiet about the pomegranate matter, so how could Concubine Yi know so much about it?

"Ulanara Qingying? Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to interrogate Concubine Xian. And that palace maid Shi Liu, please interrogate her as well!"

Gao Xiyue and Qingying have had a grudge for a long time, and she had long suspected that Qingying was responsible for this incident. Now that Huang Qiying dragged Qingying into the matter, it was exactly what Gao Xiyue wanted, and she immediately asked the emperor to invite Qingying in for questioning.

"Qingying is still in mourning, how could she harm Xiyue? Concubine Yi, please don't make random accusations."

"Your Majesty, don't you dare?" Huang Qiying spoke lightly, but it was extremely infuriating.

Hongli was furious, "Princess Yi, you are so outrageous!"

"This concubine has been unruly more than once, Your Majesty, aren't you used to it yet?" Isn't that what you, a son-in-law, like? Qingying is much more unruly in front of you, and you never get angry?

"you!"

"Your Majesty," Fucha Langya pulled down his hand that was pointing at Huang Qiying, her voice gentle but firm, "Since Qiying has doubts in her heart, then please ask Concubine Xian to come and confront her face to face. If it is a misunderstanding, then Concubine Xian can be cleared of all charges."

The parties involved and the suspects all requested to interrogate Qingying. In a rage, the son-in-law, Zhalong, had to send people to invite Qingying and the palace maid Shiliu.

At this moment, he deeply regretted not having dealt with Shi Liu earlier, but, "With me here, I don't think she would dare to betray Qing Ying."

Unexpectedly, Shi Liu came over and acted without paying attention to his expression. She confessed to murdering Qi Ru and explained that it was the guard Ling Yunche who sent her a message that day asking her to go to Noble Lady Xian to report the news.

After meeting Concubine Xian, it was Miss A Ruo who personally gave her poison and asked her to leave the palace to deal with Qi Ru. She even confessed her guilt after explaining everything and died in front of everyone.

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked by the bloody scene.

"Your Majesty, I have never done any of this. I really don't know how I offended the Empress and Concubine Yi to allow them to frame me like this."

"My Lady Xian, be careful with your words. Nothing I said was false. How could it be a false accusation?

Besides, Shi Liu and your maid A Ruo have both admitted it, and Shi Liu just died to apologize. Could it be that your maid A Ruo, who came with you as a bride, would risk her reputation to collude with outsiders to frame you, and Shi Liu would even use her own death to frame you, the niece of her former master?

She really didn't lie, she was just following the script prepared by the Queen Mother.

Shi Liu was indeed Yixiu's former lover, and her care for Qingying was genuine. She did indeed go to Jingren Palace and then leave the palace to poison Qi Ru that day. It was just Zhen Huan's orders.

"Qingying, do you have anything to say about Shiliu and Aruo's confessions?"

"Your Majesty, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe you."

Qingying's heart suddenly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why A Ruo betrayed me, but Shi Liu said that she came to see me that day because Ling Yunche told her that I had something to ask her, but in fact, I didn't do that. So, Your Majesty, please invite Ling Yunche to prove my innocence."

"Okay, send someone to bring Ling Yunche here."

Qingying was very confident. Although she didn't know why Shiliu and Aruo helped the Queen and Concubine Yi to frame her, she knew that Ling Yunche, whom she regarded as a friend, would definitely not stab her in the back.

Unfortunately, what she waited for was the news that Ling Yunche had drowned last night after falling down while drunk.

"Impossible, how could he die? Your Majesty, Ling Yunche must have been murdered! Please, Your Majesty, help Ling Yunche!" Qingying pleaded with the emperor with red eyes, her heart aching.

"Lady Xian is very cunning. Everyone who worked for you except A'ruo is dead. No wonder A'ruo betrayed you. I guess she was afraid that she would be the next to die, right?

Tsk tsk, look at how sad you are, aren't you just crying thief?"

"Princess Yi, don't go too far!" Qingying looked at her angrily, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.

"Did I say something wrong? If I hadn't overacted, why would Concubine Xian be so sad?"

"An innocent person died inexplicably. Isn't it possible for me to cry for her?"

"I heard that the late Queen Jingren Palace treated you like a precious jewel and loved you immensely, yet Concubine Xian didn't even shed a tear when she passed away. It's clear you're not someone who's emotionally attached. Now, you're so heartbroken over someone who has nothing to do with you. Isn't that strange?"

Qingying turned her head away and said disdainfully, "Princess Yi is used to being high and mighty. She has probably long forgotten the servility she had as a bondservant. Naturally, she won't be sad for a guard."

Huang Qiying was not offended by her sarcasm and only repeatedly asked, "Who is this guard to you that you are so sad for her?"

"He is my benefactor."

"benefactor?"

"Yes, during the past few months of mourning, the allowances sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were always short in weight. If it weren't for Ling Yunche's help, I'm afraid..."

Qingying spoke in a low voice, and Hongli softened his heart.

Huang Qiying asked, "When did Ling Yunche help you? Weren't the things he gave you all the money Hai Lanhua gave him to pass on?"

"Cough cough,"

The topic was getting more and more off-topic, and the Queen had to interrupt, "Princess Yi, Concubine Xian, I called you here today to find out the truth, not to discuss the relationship between Concubine Xian and that guard."

Whether intentional or unintentional, the Queen's words made Hongli feel very uncomfortable, as if grass was growing on his head.

"Yes, Queen."

The two continued to discuss whether Qingying had instructed Shiliu and Ling Yunche to murder Qi Ru and Concubine Hui.

Huang Qiying's arguments were well-founded, and Qingying was defeated step by step. Even Yuxiu was deceived by Huang Qiying's eloquence and was accused of being Qingying's supporter, clearing the Queen of suspicion.

Gao Xiyue finally made the decision, "Your Majesty! Don't you understand by now? It was Qingying who harmed me, and she even killed people to silence them. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen!"

"If Concubine Hui says so, then I really have nothing to say.

Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is a silver-tongued woman. I cannot imitate her tactics, nor can I imitate them. However, I believe that those who are innocent will be cleared, and I do not want to embarrass Your Majesty, so I am willing to ask to be sent to the cold palace and use time to prove my innocence."

Uh-huh?

No, what did you say? Asking to be sent to the cold palace?!

Hongli really wanted to grab her shoulders and roar: What are you doing?! I trusted you so much to make excuses for you, but you have been planning this for so long just to make a big mess for me?

"Okay! Admit it now? It really is you! You bitch!"

Gao Xiyue slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Qingying, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, did you hear that? Qingying is the one who caused me to be unable to conceive. Please issue an order to punish Qingying immediately and give me justice."

"Xiyue, calm down. Qingying said she went to the cold palace because she was pressured by Concubine Yi. She didn't say she was the mastermind behind it."

Qingying was moved: Brother Hongli, you really understand me.

Huang Qiying rolled her eyes. The Queen was distraught. The Emperor had gone to great lengths to protect Qingying, even going so far as to push Concubine Yi out to take the blame.

And what about herself? She was also suspected, Qingying's suspicion was even greater than hers, but the emperor only cared about Qingying and allowed himself to be suspected and wronged...

"Your Majesty!" Gao Xiyue's dissatisfied questioning interrupted Fucha Langya's thoughts. "The matter is now very clear. It is Qingying who is harming me. She herself has nothing to say. Are you still going to protect her?"

Qingying looked at him encouragingly, as if to say: It's okay, Your Majesty, you can put me in the cold palace, I don't care. As long as Your Majesty has me in his heart, I am not afraid of any grievances.

Hongli was so upset. Who am I doing all this for? Qingying, why are you so disappointing?!

No matter how unwilling she was, Hongli had no choice but to issue an edict to depose Qingyingxian from her position as noble lady and have her moved to the cold palace.

In addition, the palace maid Socholun Aruo was meritorious for reporting Ulanara, so she was spared her life considering that she had repented and turned back. However, she could be spared the death penalty but could not escape the punishment of living. She was punished with twenty strokes of the cane and was immediately demoted from the first-class palace maid of Jingren Palace to a rough maid in the cold palace.

Hearing this punishment, Ah Ruo was horrified. That was twenty strokes of the cane! And the cold palace, was that a place for people to stay? Qingying was a fool, but she was not. She didn't want to go to the cold palace!

But in reality, it was not her turn to express her opinion. Thinking of the promises made to her by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jia, A Ruo finally held back. The cold palace is the cold palace, and sooner or later she will come out of that damn place in glory!

A Ruo was dragged away to be punished, and the emperor also left. Qingying was filled with grief and anger, staring at Huang Qiying with a sinister look. She must seek justice for Ling Yunche.

"Princess Yi! You harmed Ling Yunche, aren't you afraid of retribution from the underworld?"

"Tsk~ Nara commoner, if you have a problem with your brain, go see the doctor, don't bark here.

What does Ling Yunche’s death have to do with me?

The emperor has already made a decision. He committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Even if there is retribution, he should go find the person who made him guilty.

Is it because Nara is so eager to blame me for Ling Yunche's death that he feels guilty?"
