Chapter 174, Discussing the crime

"I'm here to see the emperor, Empress!" Concubine Qi only wore an ordinary lake blue tribute satin flag suit today. Although her face was decorated with powder, she still couldn't hide her haggardness, and her eyes were full of bloodshot.

Yinzhen's cold eyes swept over the kneeling Concubine Qi on the ground, and did not call him a mercy, and said coldly: "I tell you to come today, you should have guessed what happened."

Concubine Qi pretended to be calm, "I am stupid and really don't know."

After hearing this, Yinzhen was furious and slapped the red sandalwood dragon pattern kang table with a slap. With a loud "bang", the teacup on the kang table trembled. The sound was so loud that even Yao Jiaxin's heart trembled, let alone Concubine Qi kneeling on the ground.

Concubine Qi's face turned pale a little, and her heart was even more panicked. Could it be that Xu Delu had confessed? Just one night, this dog slave was so unfaithful? Concubine Qi's palms began to sweat.

Yinzhen's face was as gloomy as if it was on the eve of a storm. The low pressure spread in the warm pavilion. He said angrily: "You dare to pretend to be confused with me!! How did the person you arranged to approach Zhenpin's pavilion ship and how did you secretly do anything? The leader and eunuch in your palace have already confessed everything!!"

"Bring it up!!" Yinzhen ordered loudly.

Immediately, two young eunuchs escorted a eunuch who was covered in scars and pushed in. Concubine Qi just glanced at her and her face turned like a mortal! This is exactly the eunuch whom she regarded as her confidant, Xu Delu!

Xu Delu was obviously tortured and walked swayingly. If it weren't for the two young and strong eunuchs escorted Tiliu, I'd probably not have the strength to enter the hall!

Xu Delu knelt softly on the ground, with his head hanging down, and did not dare to look at his master, Empress Qi.

The young and strong eunuch respectfully presented the paper. Yinzhen only glanced at it and his eyes were full of disgust. He grabbed the paper and threw it directly at Concubine Qi. The thin rice paper fluttered on Concubine Qi's face, but made Concubine Qi feel that his old face hurt.

"The good thing you did!!" Yinzhen was so angry that he wanted to devour people.

Fei Qi looked at the confession on the paper and the bright red handprints under the confession, and her face was suddenly covered in dust and everything was exposed...

"If Zhenpin is really as planned, she will go to the middle of Houhu Lake by boat, and I am afraid she will be killed!!" Yinzhen's anger was boiling. It was only a little short of that Tian'er and my child would be killed!

Concubine Qi looked frightened, and she blurted out: "I didn't want to harm Yao's life! Even if I really fell into the water, at most I would have to give birth prematurely..."

Although these words were shirking the blame, it was obvious that Concubine Qi had admitted that she had tampered with the pavilion boat.

The queen was overjoyed. Before the emperor could attack, she suddenly angrily rebuked: "Pin Yao is already weak in constitution, and the lake water is cold in March. Once it falls into the water, if it is not saved in time, how can it survive?! You obviously want Pin Yao to have one body and two lives!!"

"No!!" Concubine Qi widened her eyes, and she quickly looked at Yinzhen, "Emperor! I don't dare. I really just want Concubine Yao to give birth prematurely-"

"Stop it!!" A low anger interrupted Concubine Qi's defense, and Yinzhen's face was so dark that it was scary.

Concubine Qi was so scared that she shivered, and her defense words were full of suffocational words, and her face turned red.

The queen looked serious and said with a loud voice: "Emperor, Concubine Qi plotted to murder the emperor's heir and put the emperor in a dangerous place. If the emperor had not had the great blessings, I was afraid that he would not be safe at this moment! His evil intentions are outrageous! I think it must be severely punished!"

Concubine Qi's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with hatred for the queen. She hurriedly defended: "I didn't want to harm the emperor. I didn't expect that the emperor would even ride on Yao's boat! The emperor fell into the water, I was really unintentional!"

Of course, Yinzhen knew that Concubine Qi’s purpose was not me. Even so, Concubine Qi’s intention was really vicious!

The queen's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Whether it is a murder of the emperor or the emperor, it is a death sentence!"

A "death crime" made Concubine Qi fall into an ice cave. "The Emperor-" she panicked, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the corner of Yinzhen's robe, and cried: "Your Majesty, I am unintentional. I have never wanted to harm Yao Concubine and the Emperor's heir, and I don't want to hurt the emperor at all."

While crying, Concubine Qi couldn't help but burst into tears. The makeup on her face instantly turned bitter, her face was mottled, and she was even more embarrassed and ugly. She cried even harder, "Please forgive me for this time for Hongyun, Hongshi, and Huaike!"

Yinzhen felt disgusted, "You do this and you dare to ask the children in front of me?! It is their shame to have a mother like you!!"

Concubine Qi burst into tears, "I... I'm sorry to the children..." She couldn't help but burst into tears, lying on the ground, crying and screaming. She looked so pitiful. It's a pity that Concubine Qi did such a hateful and stupid thing.

Therefore, there was no trace of pity in Yinzhen's eyes. He only pity Huaike, who had just gotten married, and Hongyun, who had been weak since childhood. These two are good and filial children, but they had such a biological mother!

The queen looked down at Concubine Qi from a high place, unable to hide her pleasure. She scolded coldly: "Concubine Qi, you are also a mother, how can you bear to harm innocent children? You are so vicious, you really don't deserve to be a mother!"

The queen looked at Yinzhen again and said with a serious expression: "The emperor has always loved all his sons, but the crime of the woman is extremely evil. If it is not severely punished, the six palaces will be out of order!"

Yinzhen was silent and could not decide for a moment. How should he be sentenced? If it was light, it would not be enough to face Tian'er. If it was too heavy, how would Huaike and Hongyun have the face to meet others in the future?

Seeing the emperor's silence, the queen couldn't help but gritted her teeth. It seemed that the emperor still had an old relationship and refused to execute Concubine Qi! The queen took a deep breath and said, "The emperor loved his descendants. If he wanted to forgive Concubine Qi's life, I have no objection. However, death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be forgiven!"

Yinzhen looked at the queen coldly, "What should the queen do to deal with Concubine Qi?"

The queen looked righteous and stern, "The criminal woman Li committed a death sentence. Even if she was exempted from death, she should at least be deposed and sent to the cold palace!"

If there weren't a few children, Yinzhen really wanted to deal with it like this. But...

At this moment, Zhang Qilin ran in panic, "Master Huaike has entered the palace, and the third and fourth princes are also kneeling outside the hall!"

Yinzhen couldn't help but frown. How did Huaike know? Suddenly, Yinzhen thought of something. Xu Delu was captured yesterday evening. It must have been Concubine Qi who took advantage of the key to pass the message out of the palace and let Huaike enter the palace today to plead with mercy!

Yinzhen's face darkened and he looked at Concubine Qi coldly.

Concubine Qi didn't dare to look at the emperor's questioning eyes, so she quickly lowered her head and almost crawled on the ground - Huaike finally came. For the sake of a few children, the emperor would not be so heartless...
