Chapter 234 The Imperial Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 23
The queen was eating nearby, so she came quickly.
"That's unreasonable!"
She walked with the wind, menacingly.
"What a daring bitch! He dares to do anything! He hides his head and tail and dares to hurt the concubine. It's simply abominable!" As soon as the queen showed up, she had already made her attitude clear. She would not cover up or cover up. It needs to be investigated strictly!
Not only did they not clear out everyone, the queen also chose to turn a blind eye even to the bloodstains on Ye Ruqiu's face.
This also made Ji Rong determined to report Ye Ruqiu.
"So, who came out of your room?" the queen asked directly.
Ye Ruqiu was busy dressing when the emperor left, so she was not sure if anyone saw the emperor and the others leaving. At this moment, she naturally replied simply: "There is no one in my concubine's room."
"Do you think I am a fool, or do you think so many people are blind? Come on! Palm her! Palm her until she says so!"
A nun came up, fired her bow from left to right, showed no mercy, and didn't care about the injuries on Ye Ruqiu's face, and slapped her repeatedly.
What Ye Ruqiu hates most is being slapped in the face.
After being slapped in the face last time, the swelling didn't completely subside until a few days ago. This time, it's the queen again. How could she not be annoyed!
She just stared at the queen, thinking that this woman was not worthy of being the queen at all. When something scandal occurs in the palace, shouldn't the first thing be to cover it up? If something scandalous happens, does she, the queen, lose her reputation? If we really want to investigate, we should do it secretly. Then the emperor only needs to show up secretly, and the matter will be over.
But she just seemed to be fair and strict and was tossing around here. She never thought that more and more people would gather. Would it be the emperor who was embarrassed? The late emperor was really blind and chose such a stupid queen for Wulang!
The queen was angered by that look!
"What's your expression! Are you contradicting me? Keep fighting! Don't stop!"
It was only at this time that Ye Ruqiu heard the comments from the onlookers that she realized that many people had seen "the eunuch climbing the wall and escaping". What's more, the old ladies in the Chuxiu Palace kitchen actually saw the whole process from the moment Ji Rong and "father-in-law" started, and now they were describing it vividly...
"Queen, I just hired someone... to speak." Ye Ruqiu could only change her words.
The queen waved her hand to signal her to stop first. She wanted to hear how Ye Ruqiu planned to explain.
"The person Miss Qiu is recruiting can't be the emperor, right?" the queen teased. Either way, it would be exciting whether he was the emperor or not.
Everyone is already talking, saying that it cannot be the emperor. They all saw that the emperor was drunk, and Eunuch He was still guarding the guest house. And if the emperor is so drunk, he can't do anything, right? If Qiu Meiren wants to say that the man is the emperor, is it a crime to deceive the emperor?
Ye Ruqiu thought of the emperor's warning when he left, and could only say:
"No, not the emperor. Just...just a father-in-law."
"What do you say when you recruit a father-in-law?"
"I just want to ask about today's banquet."
"Then you can ask what the emperor is wearing today, which troupe is from, and who is not attending the banquet?"
"...I haven't had time to ask yet."
"Which palace did you recruit the eunuch from? What's his name? You're confined to your room, how did you recruit the eunuch?"
The queen asked three questions directly.
Ye Ruqiu stuttered.
She was not a liar in the first place, and now that she had started a lie, it was not easy to keep it true.
She didn't dare to tell nonsense because it would be too easy to be exposed.
In the crowd, the palace maids and eunuchs who had been guarding outside Chuxiu Palace but were later attracted by the two young talents knelt out together.
"It's the minions. The young master has been in confinement for a long time. Hearing the sound of singing outside, he wanted to ask what was being sung. The minions invited a passing father-in-law outside the Chuxiu Palace to come in and give a reply. That's all."
The queen looked at the two people.
These two were the men assigned by the emperor to Ye Ruqiu. She is actually better at talking than Ye Ruqiu!
"Are you two on duty today?"
"yes."
"Catch him!"
The two were frightened and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying that they had been wronged and that what they said was true.
"Unjustly accused? Where did you feel unjustly accused? You were on duty, but you neither waited on me in the house nor guarded the door. Instead, you only showed up now. Why are you unjustly accused? Come and take me away for trial."
The two emperors were directly defeated by the queen who refused to listen to arguments.
Now, Ye Ruqiu, who was alone and unable to support herself, was really scared.
"I give you one last chance to confess. Who is that father-in-law?"
"I don't know you. I don't know you. I just found him on the roadside."
The queen waved her sleeves, and the bottle on the machine flew out and hit Ye Ruqiu on the head.
After receiving the Queen's signal, Bai Ling came forward and asked Ye Ruqiu in one breath.
"The two cups on the table are filled with fruit wine. Could it be that Beauty Qiu is sitting and drinking with an unknown father-in-law?"
"There is my father-in-law's coat on the floor inside. How can a strange father-in-law go to the bedroom of one of your concubines?"
"Then when my father-in-law said this, why did he still take off his clothes and belt?"
"Why is father-in-law's coat thrown on the ground beside the bed?"
"The smell of alcohol on those clothes is very strong, the smell of strong liquor. May I ask where the father-in-law dares to drink secretly while on duty?"
"There is still residual warmth on Qiu Meiren's bed, and the quilt is messy. Did Qiu Meiren call her father-in-law to talk to her while she was lying on the bed?"
"Isn't Beauty Qiu's sleeping position bad? Why is it that one person sleeps on the same bed?"
"What's going on with Qiu Meiren's clothes?"
"And the most important thing is, what kind of incense are you burning in your incense burner?"
The concubines smelled it and understood instantly.
This aroma is very familiar. It's obviously...
The imperial doctor who had just arrived and was treating Ji Rong's injuries responded with a signal, "It's just for sexual intercourse..."
The sound of gasping continued again.
If you can argue with the others, what about this one? That aphrodisiac thing, can't you light it yourself and play with it? There is no need to wash this!
At this point, no matter what Ye Ruqiu said, the facts were meaningless.
The queen was afraid that the emperor would protect her, so she gave her all the evidence one by one in front of everyone. Everyone said that Ye Ruqiu's reputation had been completely ruined. Even if you save your life, you can't climb up any more. Neither the DPRK nor the people in the country will recognize her.
But I wonder if the emperor will continue to protect her?
The queen looked stern: "Meimei Qiu is really full of lies, and her words don't match her words. I have already given you a chance, but you are despising me! The crime is even worse!"
Ji Rong seized the opportunity again and immediately knocked on the ground.
"I am a victim and a witness. I can prove what Qiu Meiren did! I live next door to Qiu Meiren and can hear everything clearly. I drank too much and wanted to sleep for a while, but I called Qiu Meiren The two of them were so noisy that they couldn't sleep. It's not like I haven't slept with you before, so can you still not understand the sound?
The concubine was frightened, thinking that Qiu Mei was so bold, and planned to stop her with words, but before she could speak, she was beaten like this. I can confirm that Qiu Meiren is having an affair with someone!
In addition, the father-in-law who was guarding the gate was so good at it that he was very shy. When I was fighting with her, he reminded Qiu Meiren several times that his voice was extremely rough and was not his father-in-law's voice at all. I suspect that he is not my father-in-law at all. Maybe it was Qiu Meiren's lover who disguised herself as the father-in-law and came to the secret meeting.
Please also ask the queen to make a clear decision and make the decision for me! "
