Chapter 376: Adding insult to injury to save Wen Yi
"Don't worry about that. After all, Concubine Cao values her daughter the most. I have already promised Concubine Cao that if she helps us accomplish this, I will find a way to get Princess Wen Yi back to Concubine Cao."
Zhen Huan gave Mei Zhuang a confident smile and spoke her mind.
"It seems that my sister has made plans. Then I will wait and see tomorrow."
Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, sister."
Zhen Huan smiled confidently at Shen Meizhuang.
"Brother Hua Fei is disrespectful to the Emperor and even has the intention of treason. I know that you all dislike Hua Fei's arrogant and domineering character, but we are all sisters in the same palace after all. At this time, you should put aside your past grudges and comfort Hua Fei more."
The queen's headache was no longer present, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"It's the lady."
Everyone responded in unison.
"But then again, although Concubine Hua is pitiful, this is also the result of her brother Nian Gengyao's own actions. After learning about this, Concubine Hua not only did not reflect on her past arrogant behavior, but also beat Concubine Nian in the Concubine's Palace last year. This is really too much."
"Noble Lady Nian's face was beaten to a pulp by Concubine Hua. Now Noble Lady Nian is crying in the palace every day and is too embarrassed to even leave the house. It really makes people feel distressed."
The queen looked at everyone with regret and spoke.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Concubine Cao took the initiative to report Concubine Hua's past crimes.
Although everyone present, except Concubine Li, knew that Concubine Cao must have known about this matter.
But there was almost no one present who did not hate Concubine Hua. Even Concubine Li, who was always the most brainless, wanted to step on Concubine Hua at this moment.
Who made Concubine Hua always use the Third Prince's incompetence to disgust Concubine Li? How could Concubine Li not feel resentful towards Concubine Hua?
"It's pitiful that all parents in the world are so heartbroken. Lady Cao is helpless. After all, using a child to threaten a mother is the most effective way."
Xin Changzai took the initiative to step forward and speak in agreement.
"Everyone had doubts about what happened at the beginning, but the emperor didn't want the matter to get bigger and bigger. He took the face of the palace into consideration, so he just hastily dealt with it."
"If everything you said is true, then Concubine Hua is too vicious."
"Although she is not Wen Yi's biological mother, she at least watched Wen Yi grow up. How could she have the heart to treat Wen Yi like this?"
The queen also took over the conversation and began to accuse.
"But Madam, Xiao Tang has been beaten to death, and now he is dead and has no evidence."
Concubine Jing also stood up and spoke.
"Noble Concubine, Wanpin, this matter involves the two of you. I wonder what you two think about it?"
The queen looked at the two of them and asked.
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but look at Concubine Cao. It seemed that this time Zhen Huan was clearly going to torture Concubine Hua to death.
This is fine. She is too lazy to bother with this. As long as she goes with the flow, these people will be eager to eat Hua Fei alive one by one.
As for Cao Qinmo, she didn't know why she would cooperate with Zhen Huan, but she thought that Zhen Huan was probably using Princess Wen Yi to seduce Cao Qinmo, so it seemed that she had to act faster.
"My concubine and I were indeed wronged on that day. Now everything is clear."
Fucha Zhixi stood up and spoke to the queen.
"If it weren't for Concubine Duan's testimony, I would have found it difficult to clear my name. This shows how vicious Concubine Hua is. Now the truth has finally come to light."
Zhen Huan looked at the Queen with a look of grievance and said.
Upon hearing this, the Queen raised her eyebrows slightly and took over Zhen Huan's words to comfort her.
"This matter has indeed wronged you and the Imperial Concubine. Now I can finally clear your name."
"Jiang Fuhai, go and invite Concubine Hua to me."
The Queen opened her mouth and gave orders.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Cao knelt on the ground and once again mentioned the matter of Concubine Hua accepting bribes, which pushed the incident against Concubine Hua to a climax.
These words shocked everyone present. After all, the previous incident was just a matter of the harem, but this incident was much more serious. Collusion between the former dynasty and the harem was no trivial matter.
At this moment, Concubine Hua strode in at the Queen's summons.
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Concubine Cao crying and complaining about her crimes to everyone. He was so angry that he didn't care about anything else and kicked Concubine Cao away.
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but step back upon seeing this. This Concubine Hua's skills were indeed extraordinary. Could it be because she had smelled too much musk?
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It seems that the noble lady was beaten really badly by Concubine Hua, otherwise she would not be so embarrassed.
"How dare you, bitch, betray me!"
"Have you forgotten who promoted you in the first place? Have you forgotten how you tried to please me in the first place?"
Concubine Hua was extremely angry when she saw Cao Qinmo lying on the ground pretending to be pitiful.
But the Queen seized the loophole in Hua Fei's words and gave orders in a fierce manner.
"Everyone has heard that Concubine Hua and Concubine Cao have a close relationship, which shows that everything Concubine Cao said is true."
"Jianqiu, why don't you go and invite the emperor over!"
"Ask the people from the Ministry of Punishment to strictly interrogate the servants of the Yikun Palace. Tell them to investigate thoroughly for me and not let any of them go."
"You or you?"
Concubine Hua glanced at everyone, trying to see who was so vicious that made Cao Qinmo betray herself.
"Who asked that bitch Cao Qinmo to come out and slander me?"
"No one wants to frame you. If the queen had not done this, naturally no one would fabricate this matter out of thin air."
Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Hua with no less momentum and spoke.
Seeing this, the Queen couldn't get any more information out of her, so she had to let Concubine Hua go back to Yiku Palace.
After this farce was over, Fu Cha Zhixi took the initiative to come to Concubine Jing's palace.
"Now that Concubine Cao has taken the initiative to testify against Concubine Hua, this is a good opportunity."
"I can take this opportunity to completely turn Wen Yi into my sister's child. Otherwise, if I delay any further, I'm worried that something unexpected will happen."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked straight to the point and spoke to Concubine Jing.
"Sister, what you mean is that Concubine Cao will use this opportunity to make meritorious contributions to exchange for Wen Yi?"
Concubine Jing reacted very quickly when it came to the matter of Wen Yi, and she quickly understood the meaning of Fu Cha Zhixi's words.
"That's right, I guess there must be someone behind this, Lady Cao."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Concubine Jing meaningfully and said.
"And the Emperor has always had feelings for Concubine Hua, otherwise he would not have taken the opportunity to punish Concubine Hua after she beat Concubine Nian. So now that the Emperor knows Concubine Cao acted this way, he must have some opinions about her."
