The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System
Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Concubine Hua sacrifices her pawns to save her king
Yu Ying'er's face turned pale. She looked at the palace maid beside her, only to see that she had already knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to look up. Yu Ying'er knew in her heart that she was completely trapped this time. She forced herself to remain calm and tried to defend herself:
"Your Majesty, this sachet is not mine, and I have never seen it before. Someone must have framed me. Please investigate."
"Framed?"
At this time, Xia Dongchun took the lead in accusing Yu Ying'er:
"I think you're the one who's using this white flower to frame others!"
"My Lady, this sachet is truly not mine!"
Yu Ying'er knelt on the ground, her voice filled with sorrow and determination. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked towards her master in high position, trying to prove her innocence with a sincere look.
"Your Majesty, this sachet is truly not mine. I am truly loyal to you, Your Majesty. The sun and the moon can bear witness to this!"
There was a hint of determination and earnestness in Yu Ying'er's words. Her tearful eyes were fixed on the Queen, as if she wanted to impress this high and mighty master with the loyalty in her eyes.
However, when Yu Ying'er once again emphasized her loyalty to the Queen, a hint of unknown disgust flashed in the Queen's eyes.
This disgust did not come from Yu Ying'er's words, but because she knew very well that Yu Ying'er had always been Hua Fei's confidant and an important chess piece placed by Hua Fei in the harem.
The Empress thought to herself that if she easily believed Yu Ying'er at this moment, she would undoubtedly strengthen Hua Fei's power invisibly, which was a situation she absolutely did not want to see.
Moreover, Xia Dongchun, standing nearby, was someone the Empress had once courted. While Xia Dongchun's actions today were somewhat impulsive, the Empress knew that within the harem, every pawn had its value, and Xia Dongchun's value lay in her ability to balance Concubine Hua's power.
Then, the Queen gently raised her hand and interrupted Yu Ying'er's defense. Her voice was calm and majestic:
"That's enough. I will make the final decision on this matter."
Then, she swept her eyes around everyone present, finally settling on Xia Dongchun, her tone filled with unquestionable determination:
"Yu Ying'er, you've repeatedly committed crimes against your superiors and refused to repent. This is the first instance. Last time, you fought at the gate of Jingren Palace, and this time in the main hall of Jingren Palace. This is the second instance. You secretly hoarded white flower dan and framed the concubines. This is the third instance. Everyone has witnessed all of these things. How can I tolerate you?"
Concubine Hua wanted to speak up to defend Yu Ying'er.
However, just as she was about to speak, her eyes unexpectedly met with Concubine Cao Cao Qinmo who was standing beside her.
Cao Qinmo's eyes were deep and complex. She shook her head slightly, conveying a silent message with her eyes.
Concubine Hua understood Cao Qinmo's look, which was telling her that Yu Ying'er had already committed a monstrous crime, and no matter how she argued, she could not undo the situation. Continuing to speak up for her would only drag Concubine Hua into this vortex, making it difficult for her to extricate herself.
Hua Fei felt annoyed. She knew Cao Qinmo's wisdom and calmness very well, and she also understood that at this critical moment, it would undoubtedly be wise to follow Cao Qinmo's advice.
So she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and chose to remain silent.
But at this moment, Yu Ying'er knelt down at Hua Fei's feet, grabbed Hua Fei's trouser legs, and cried:
"Empress Hua! Empress Hua, please save me! I have been wronged!"
Concubine Hua looked at Yu Ying'er deeply, without saying a word, her eyes full of determination.
Xin Changzai is always outspoken and speaks without thinking, regardless of the occasion:
"Yu Ying'er has always been on good terms with Concubine Hua. Seeing Yu Ying'er being punished, Concubine Hua must be very distressed."
