This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 206 12 Silver Prying Open the Gate of Changchun Palace

Now Concubine Qi is willing to put aside her pride and ask Concubine Hua for help, which shows how dangerous the situation was just now.

The emperor also thought of this relationship. The guards of each palace were arranged by the queen. Usually, Concubine Xin and Linglong were not favored. Although Concubine Qi had the third prince, she had no scheming intentions.

If Changchun Palace had not been isolated and helpless, they would never have asked Concubine Hua for help.

It seems that this is also the result of Linglong's good behavior and frequent greetings to Concubine Hua, which has established a good relationship with her.

But until Linglong gets better, I still have to remind Linglong to go to Yikun Palace less often.

"Come." The emperor extended his hand toward Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei took the emperor's hand, and the emperor asked Hua Fei to sit on the Eight Immortals Chair next to him.

Ling Xiang was surprised to find that what she said did not arouse the emperor's suspicion at all. The queen had clearly said that the current emperor was the most suspicious, and Hua Fei could lose the emperor's trust with just a few words.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe what I said, I request to summon Ding Xiang to prove my innocence!"

"Of course I will summon her. I also want to know how Dingxiang got out of Changchun Palace."

"Su Peisheng, call Ding Xiang over, and check why there is no one on duty at the Imperial Hospital tonight."

Su Peisheng responded and went out, then came back after a while.

"Your Majesty, Dingxiang has been brought here." Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just asked Xiao Xiazi to ask. It was because the Empress had a headache tonight, so she invited several doctors to Jingren Palace. Later, the servants in the Tenth Prince's mansion said that the Tenth Lady was ill, so they sent all the remaining doctors away."

"Are these all the imperial doctors?" the emperor leaned forward and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, people from the Tenth Master's mansion said that there is already an imperial physician in the Queen's palace, so there is someone on duty." Su Peisheng felt that this was very embarrassing.

This Tenth Master must be tired of living. He dares to challenge the emperor's bottom line like this. The emperor already dislikes him.

"Call Dingxiang in." The emperor did not mention the matter of the Tenth Prince again, because a concubine almost caused his princess to have no doctor to cure her. This Tenth Prince is really capable of jumping around.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The maid Dingxiang came in and performed the maid's etiquette to the emperor.

"Tell me, how did you hear that the princess had contracted the plague, and how did you leave the Changchun Palace and go to the Zhongcui Palace to tell Lingguan's daughter about it?"

The emperor's pressure frightened Dingxiang so much that she raised her head suddenly, then kowtowed again.

"Your Majesty, I have never said such a thing!"

Ding Xiang has turned against us.

"It was clearly you who came to tell me, why don't you admit it!" Ling Xiang pushed Ding Xiang, who was kneeling beside her, to the ground.

Ding Xiang started to cry: "Your Majesty, I really have never heard that the princess has an epidemic. The maids and servants in this room can testify to this. It's impossible that what Lord Wei said is different from what others heard!"

"Why did you lie to me! Your Majesty, it was this slave who deceived me, so I..."

"Shut up!" The emperor didn't want to listen to Ling Xiang's explanation at all. It was because she looked a bit like Chun Yuan that he looked at her a few more times.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!" Dingxiang knocked her head loudly.

"Ling Xiang had asked me to go to Zhongcui Palace and asked me to find a chance to poison the princess. If I didn't obey, she would threaten me with my only brother."

"Ling Xiang is the master now. I am worried that Ling Xiang will harm my brother, so I can only agree to her. But the princess often plays with us in the palace. I really can't bear it, so I can only drag it out day by day."

"Later, an epidemic broke out in the palace. Ling Xiang asked me to give the princess the things used by the eunuchs so that she could get the epidemic. But I still refused."

"Because of the epidemic, Ling Xiang couldn't see me. I thought it would be delayed for a while, but I didn't expect Ling Guan's daughter to find a way to pass me a toy that someone with the epidemic had touched, and asked me to give it to the princess to play with."

"The woman in Lingguan is very capable. I am really afraid that she will attack her own brother. I can only replace the toys for the princess to play with."

"It just so happens that the princess has a high fever tonight, so I wanted to take the blame for this matter, so as to report to the Lingguan girl. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that the Lingguan girl would meet the emperor!"

Dingxiang sobbed and explained the whole story in a halting manner.

"Then how did you get out of Changchun Palace?" the emperor asked, twisting the beads in his hand.

"Ms. Ling gave me some silver before, and I used that silver to bribe the two guards at the door, and then I was able to leave."

Su Peisheng saw the emperor's eyes and understood what was going on. Sure enough, after a while, the emperor's imperial guards brought in the two guards at the door of Changchun Palace and searched the two guards and found the silver that Dingxiang mentioned.

It’s indeed a lot, fifty taels per person.

"Hmph, I didn't even know that it would cost a hundred taels of silver to pry open the door of my Changchun Palace." Concubine Qi sneered.

Xin Changzai: Sister Qi Fei is even more cynical than me.

The emperor thought about how he had stood at the gate of Changchun Palace for a long time on a snowy night before, but he didn't even ask to open the door.

Although the nature of the matter is different, it is also an unpleasant association.

"Ahem." The emperor said sternly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The emperor's eyes turned to Ling Xiang.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask the daughter of the Ling family a question. I have never offended the Ling family. Why did she want to kill Linglong?" Concubine Xin finally stopped crying and spoke hatefully.

If Concubine Hua had not had the foresight to send people to keep an eye on every move in Changchun Palace, how would she have known that Ling Xiang would actually bribe the palace maids in Changchun Palace.

Fortunately, this palace maid was a timid one. She had sent people to keep an eye on her for many days and watched her every move. Finally, she decided to summon Dingxiang and prepare to take advantage of the situation.

However, there were still too many variables in this game. She didn't expect Linglong to really have a fever, nor did she expect that there would not be a single imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital tonight.

Fortunately, there is Concubine Hua. If it weren’t for her, Linglong would probably have really fulfilled Ling’s wish.

"You said, Linglong is just a child, but you can be so cruel to a child." The emperor pressed.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. This is all nonsense. Ding Xiang said that I used her brother to threaten her, but I don't even know who her brother is!"

"I was just a palace maid before. I don't even have that much private money. How could I give Dingxiang so much money?"

"It is clear that Dingxiang was instigated by others to frame me!"

Ling Xiang's eyes were filled with pink tears, her face was covered with pear blossoms in the rain, and her thin shoulders shook with her crying.

"Then why did Ding Xiang bribe the guards to see you? You yourself said that it was you who told Ding Xiang to inform you of the princess' every move."

The emperor looked down at Ling Xiang who was crying on the ground. When Ling Xiang cried, she looked a little like Chun Yuan before her death.

"Your Majesty, I see that Princess Linglong is adorable, and I am really worried about her!"

Ling Xiang might have cried so sincerely and hard that she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

The emperor was used to seeing women crying, making a fuss and threatening to hang themselves. Wei Lin happened to be there, so he waved and asked Wei Lin to show Ling Xiang.

Wei Lin went forward to check Ling Xiang's pulse, his eyes were shaken but then calmed down.

"Your Majesty, congratulations, the Ling official's daughter is pregnant."
