Chapter 447 Can’t argue
After hearing what the Queen said,
Concubine Xiao turned her head abruptly and glared at Queen Qin fiercely. Her chest heaved as if she was furious. She said angrily,
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel! You even spared the baby in my belly!
Is this the kind of sinister and mean behavior that a queen, who is the mother of the country and a role model for women, would do? "
Concubine Xiao said angrily,
She grabbed Emperor Kun's hand without hesitation and placed it on her big belly. The concubines almost dropped their eyes.
Then I heard Concubine Xiao said to the emperor in a sad and angry voice,
"Your Majesty, please feel our child, he is so angry that he is making a scene! He was almost poisoned to death! You must seek justice for him."
*
Emperor Kun, who was a little embarrassed, patted Concubine Xiao's hand and comforted her.
"My beloved, please sit down first. Don't get too excited and hurt yourself."
Concubine Xiao sat down on the chair, wiping her tears with grievance,
"Your Majesty, I am afraid. You must make the decision for me!"
Emperor Kun whispered a few words to comfort Concubine Xiao, and then instructed her two senior palace maids,
"Take good care of the concubine."
"Yes, yes, I obey your command."
Emperor Kun then turned around and looked with his sharp eyes at Queen Qin who was standing still beside him.
Asked aloud,
"Queen, do you have any explanation?"
Queen Qin had regained consciousness. She straightened her back and insisted in a cold voice,
"Your Majesty, I have never done anything wrong. I am innocent."
*
Concubine Xiao laughed again.
"Empress, didn't you do it? Are you wronged? But everyone saw it just now!
The evidence is irrefutable. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're still crying foul?
I never thought that you, the Queen, were so cruel! In order to get rid of the child in my belly, you put medicine in the tea of all the sisters.
No wonder no child has been born in the harem in the past decade. Hehehe..., the answer is self-evident! "
The concubines were in an uproar.
After Concubine Xiao finished speaking, she slowly stood up from the chair, staggering a few times as if she was exhausted, and said to Emperor Kun,
"Your Majesty, you must find out the truth and seek justice for us sisters!"
*
Queen Qin was so angry that she felt a sweet and fishy taste rising in her mouth.
But at this moment, she was speechless and could do nothing but stubbornly defend herself.
"Your Majesty, I have never done that..."
As soon as she said this, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Ah? Your Majesty, are you vomiting blood?"
Qiaoyin and Miaoyin screamed in fright.
The angry concubines at the scene were also frightened by the Queen's sudden state.
The virtuous concubine screamed in surprise.
"Oh? Queen, have you also been poisoned? Did you drink the tea in the cup as well?"
Defei stepped forward and pulled her hard. Xianfei realized that she had said something wrong and immediately shut her mouth.
*
At this time,
When Emperor Kun saw the Queen's appearance, he pointed at Zhou Yuanpan and hurried forward to check.
Before the imperial physician came forward, Nanny Liu quickly took out a pill from her sleeve and stuffed it into Queen Qin's mouth.
Aunt Qiaoyin also hurriedly went to get some water for Queen Qin to drink. After waiting for a while, Queen Qin's expression finally relaxed.
After examining Queen Qin's pulse, Court Judge Zhou bowed to Emperor Kun and said,
"Your Majesty, the Empress was so angry that she is fine now!"
He wanted to ask Queen Qin what kind of pill she had just taken with a searching look, but he felt that the timing was not right, so he swallowed the words back and waited aside.
Emperor Kun glanced at everyone in the room. He didn't want the fight between his concubines to be laughed at by the imperial doctors, so he instructed Zhou Yuanpan,
"Since everything is alright, you can leave now! Prepare some medicine for Concubine Xiao and send it to Ruyi Palace."
"Yes, I obey your command. We will take our leave."
After saying that, the three of them picked up their medicine boxes and hurriedly left!
*
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Queen Qin took a moment to calm down, then stood up, knelt down and saluted Emperor Kun, saying,
"Your Majesty, I don't admit anything I didn't do.
As for why there is abortion pills in everyone's teacups, I really don't know. I beg Your Majesty to look into this matter and clear my name."
After saying this, Concubine Xiao was unhappy again! She stood up again with her big belly and said to Queen Qin aggressively,
"You are the queen, and the evidence is still there! Are you going to keep denying and making excuses? Our emperor is a wise ruler, and he will never let you off the hook just because you are the queen!"
After Concubine Xiao finished her words in a menacing tone, she bowed slightly to Emperor Kun.
"Your Majesty, please help me. Please give justice to my sisters.
Since the tea contained abortion drugs, I think there must be more than just these, and there must be more hidden in Kunning Palace."
"You slandered me."
At this time, Queen Qin was so angry that her hands were shaking.
*
In order to show her intelligence in front of Emperor Kun, Concubine Xian stepped forward and said,
"Your Majesty, I am a little confused. We all saw it with our own eyes today. The Imperial Concubine vomited blood after drinking the tea that Miaoyin offered.
If it was directed and acted by the Imperial Concubine herself, then why was there abortion pills in our tea?
Obviously this matter has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine.
It's obvious that there's something wrong with the Queen's tea!"
Hearing this, several concubines who were confused and eager to have children also bowed to Emperor Kun and said,
"I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for me!"
Emperor Kun glanced at these women, then turned to Concubine Xiao and said,
"My dear, please take care of yourself and sit down first."
After Emperor Kun motioned for her to sit down, he sat upright and looked at everyone with cold eyes.
*
Slightly tilted,
Emperor Kun instructed Eunuch De,
"Investigate and see who is so bold as to poison people so blatantly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will have someone search right away."
Eunuch De then strode out. Soon, Kunning Palace was searched by a dozen young eunuchs and several maids from the palace.
Queen Qin felt so humiliated and angry that her blood boiled.
She questioned Emperor Kun,
"Your Majesty, do you also think that I was the one who poisoned you? I swear to heaven that I did nothing. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"enough!"
Emperor Kun interrupted Queen Qin's oath with a stern shout.
Said to her,
"Queen, since you have done nothing, let's investigate openly. I am here to help you clean up those traitorous servants."
Upon hearing this, Queen Qin staggered a few times, filled with grief and indignation, and tears burst out.
*
Just at this time,
Then I heard the eunuch's loud voice outside the door.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
When Concubine Xiao heard that the Empress Dowager had arrived, she lowered her eyes and darkened fiercely.
When Queen Qin heard this, she raised her tearful eyes in surprise.
