Chapter 309: The Empress Dowager's Intention
When the emperor heard this, his expression was full of anger. He then looked at Wei Ning'er who was still kneeling on the ground and shouted: "You are so brave."
Wei Ning'er was stunned by the anger in the emperor's anger, and almost burst into tears the next moment, but she forced herself to do so: "Your Majesty, I have not poisoned anyone, nor have I hidden poison in the palace."
"Madam Li!" The emperor immediately looked at the person he sent.
"Your Majesty, those eunuchs found the small porcelain bottle containing poison in the small cabinet in the Queen's Bedroom, but... But I took things in the small cabinet early this morning. I didn't see the small porcelain bottle at that time, and I followed the Queen in an endless stream. I was sure that the Queen did not put anything in it!" Madam Li said respectfully.
"My mom, according to my opinion, this matter is quite difficult. It cannot be concluded that it was poisoned by Concubine Ling." The emperor looked at the empress dowager and said in a deep voice.
"The emperor means that the Ai family sent someone to poison Concubine Ling?" The empress dowager was so angry that she was trembling all over.
"Don't calm down, I don't mean that!" the emperor said quickly.
"Now in this palace, except for the Madam Li you sent, everyone in the Ai family's palace. Madam Li testified that the poison was not from Concubine Ling, so the poison was sent by the Ai family to blame Concubine Ling. That's what the emperor meant!" The empress dowager was really angry. She really asked Lu Mo to abandon Jingqi, who had arranged by Wei Ning'er in the morning, and asked Jingqi to confess what was not good for Wei Ning'er.
Never thought that Lu Mo told her that Jingqi said that Wei Ning'er really had poison, and was in Yanxi Palace. When the empress dowager heard this, it was so great that she immediately brought people to search.
This time, Concubine Ling not only refused to admit it, but the emperor also protected him in every way. In the eyes of the empress dowager, Madam Li was the emperor's person, so naturally she was defending Concubine Ling after listening to the emperor's words. How could she give up?
The emperor did not expect that the empress dowager would be so angry, afraid that she would be angry, but he could not let Wei Ning'er suffer for no reason and was in a dilemma for a while.
"Emperor, you protect her so much, the Ai family will never tolerate it. The Ai family... the Ai family..." The Empress Dowager said this and her face turned pale, and she suddenly fainted.
"The Empress Dowager..." Lu Mo and others were shocked.
"My mother!" The emperor was also shocked and immediately asked the imperial physician to come for treatment. When the empress dowager woke up, she hurriedly sent her back to Cining Palace.
Princess Hejing did not follow her. She sat next to Wei Ning'er and said softly: "Don't be afraid, with the Emperor Ama protecting you, you will be fine."
"Princess, I seem to be dreaming now. I really hope to wake up from this nightmare as soon as possible." Wei Ning'er said with a sad expression.
"Ning'er, it will, it will be soon!" The princess hugged her gently and said softly: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon. I will be with you, no one can touch your hair."
"Princess, why didn't the Empress Dowager let me go?" This is something Wei Ning'er couldn't figure out.
"I don't know. When I was still in the palace, I knew that my grandmother favored the Ulanara clan. However, when the emperor was still alive, the emperor did not show too much. But as soon as the emperor passed away, the emperor grandmother couldn't wait to make the Ulanara clan the empress. You know, the death of the emperor's mother had a lot to do with this woman, but the emperor grandmother ignored everything, which really made me feel disappointed. Now... she wants to help that woman deal with you again, and I will never sit idly by." Princess Hejing said this and saw a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
"In this way, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine must be not simple!" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and said.
Princess Hejing's face changed, and then said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to check the emperor's grandmother's mother's family and the Ulanara clan to see if I can find clues!"
"Well, but the most urgent task is how I get out of trouble. The emperor protects me, but the Empress Dowager is determined to die. The emperor is afraid that he will be in a dilemma!" Wei Ning'er looked sad when she said this.
"Don't worry, the Emperor Ama loves you very much and cannot bear to bear any punishment. How can he tolerate someone taking your life? What's more, the Emperor's mother entrusted the Emperor Ama to protect you before her death. You and my uncle and me, we will not sit idly by. If anyone wants to touch you, then be prepared to bear the anger of the princess and the Fucha family." The princess paused slightly and said, "I entered the palace this time and discussed it with my uncle. I will come to your side to prevent any accidents. My uncle will also take care of it from multiple sources!" Princess He Jing comforted softly.
"Thank you, Lili!" Wei Ning'er was very moved.
"You are my aunt. Although this is a secret that can never be made public, but... it's enough for us to know!" the princess smiled.
Three days later, the emperor issued an order, ordering the concubine to accidentally anger Longyan, punishing her for being imprisoned for half a year and a one-year salary.
"What? He didn't even mention the poisoning!" The imperial concubine was shocked after hearing Zi Yan's words.
"Yes!" Zi Yan responded respectfully.
"The emperor actually defended her so much that he accidentally angered Longyan, haha..." The imperial concubine couldn't help laughing, but the laughter was full of desolation.
"Empress, it's enough for Concubine to be confined for half a year. The future is long, so why should I be anxious for a moment?" Zi Yan advised softly.
"You don't know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to let her die in the future!" The imperial concubine looked unwilling.
"Empress, you're in a state of confinement for half a year. What's going to happen during this period? No one can tell me, let alone, if the emperor doesn't go to Concubine Ling for half a year, isn't this a great opportunity for you to be favored again?" Zi Yan said with a smile.
"You are right!" The imperial concubine smiled on her face and then ordered: "Set the Cining Palace, I want to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"
The imperial concubine wanted to know how the emperor convinced the empress dowager to spare Concubine Ling.
"Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine is looking for a meeting!" Yuzhang came into the hall and reported respectfully.
"Xuan her come in!" The Empress Dowager nodded gently.
"The Empress Dowager's blessings are all the best!" The Imperial Concubine entered the hall and had great blessings.
"Lu Mo, take them back!" The empress dowager waved her hand gently and signaled Lu Mo to take everyone there first, obviously she had something to say to the imperial concubine alone.
Lu Mo suddenly became scheming in her heart, and then she led everyone back quietly.
"The Ai family knows what you are asking. The Ai family is stalemate with the emperor because of Concubine Ling, so they have to give in and let her stay in a jail for half a year. This is the greatest limit that the emperor can tolerate!" The empress dowager said in a deep voice without waiting for the imperial concubine to speak.
When the imperial concubine heard this, she was frightened, but she did not dare to say more.
