"Queen...it turns out that this matter has something to do with the queen, which makes sense. No wonder Concubine Yun Gui has had such a good relationship with the queen for more than ten years. It can be said that she follows her lead in everything.
And the Queen also helps Concubine Yun in everything, it turns out it’s because they have leverage in each other’s hands.”
After a pause, Ye Fuxun said distressedly: "Now that there are no witnesses, there is an enemy, and the emperor has been angered. It will be even more difficult to overturn the case. I really don't know where to start."
The two fell silent, each thinking. After a while, Bai Yuxian said: "Do you still remember how you made Li Ruoxue plead guilty when you were in Dongchen?"
Ye Fuxun nodded, but it was only more than half a year ago. Of course she clearly remembered that because the situation was urgent and no evidence could be found for the time being, she asked someone to pretend to be a ghost to scare Li Ruoxue. As a result, when she was extremely frightened, Li Ruoxue admitted the crime.
.
"You mean to use the same method to induce Concubine Yun to confess? But Concubine Yun is different from Li Ruoxue. Pretending to be a ghost may not work for her."
Bai Yuxian shook his head disapprovingly: "Not necessarily. As long as a person still has humanity and does something wrong, there will definitely be guilt and fear deep in his heart, and Concubine Yun is no exception.
And now we have no other way, so it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.”
Ye Fuxun nodded: "That's true, but Concubine Yun is a cautious person, so she needs to make arrangements carefully."
When returning to the palace, Ye Fuxun deliberately took a detour and walked near Concubine Yun Guifei's palace, and he met Concubine Yun successfully.
Concubine Yun Guifei had already heard about what happened in Qingxin Hall, and her heart that had been hanging for several months finally dropped, and she felt extremely happy.
She looked at Ye Fulun with a proud face and said with a smile: "I heard that the Sixth Princess had a quarrel with the Emperor in Qingxin Palace today. I don't know why?"
"Concubine Yun knows very well, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Ye Fuxun looked annoyed and unwilling, "Do you think you can sit back and relax after killing my witness? You are too naive.
.
Do you know what is the scariest thing in the world? It is suspicion.
Although I didn't succeed in overturning the case today, I said a lot of things to my father. Those words were enough to make my father suspicious of you. It would be like a seed, buried in my father's heart, and then take root and sprout.
Grow into a towering tree.
My father no longer trusts you as he once did, and in the days to come, no matter what you do, he will look at you with suspicion."
Concubine Yun's expression changed a little, because what Ye Fuxun said was true.
She had just been to the Qingxin Palace, and during the conversation with the emperor, she always felt that the emperor looked at her differently than before. It was a strange look that she could not describe.
And the emperor also asked her a lot of questions about that matter.
Ye Fuxun said again: "And the Queen, do you know why she hates me so much but never takes action against me?"
This question has been swirling in Concubine Yun's mind for a long time, and she really needs an answer urgently.
"That's because I have what she wants."
"What is it?" Concubine Yun Guifei asked hurriedly.
She also asked the queen many questions related to this matter, but if she didn't tell her, could it be that as Yu Siling said, this secret was really related to her? The queen secretly wanted to join forces with Yu Siling to deal with her?
Ye Fuxun knew that his goal had been achieved when he saw the distressed look on Concubine Yun's face.
She chuckled and continued: "You have the Queen's handle in your hand. Do you think she will allow you to live under her nose? This is a huge threat. If it were me, I would try my best to
Get rid of this scourge."
In fact, what Ye Fuxun said was what Concubine Yun Gui was worried about. Moreover, she herself could not tolerate the existence of such a scourge as the queen.
But she couldn't admit that the other party had hit her mark, so she laughed disdainfully and said: "Don't think that you are the only one who can see through everyone's thoughts, and others can also see through you.
You said so much just to drive a wedge between me and the Queen. How could I fall for you? Also, do you really think that the Queen will always tolerate you like this?
Don’t forget, you are the main culprit who caused her daughter’s reputation to be ruined. How could she let you go? Maybe she is planning how to avenge her daughter now.”
Ye Fuxun sighed indifferently: "Since Concubine Yun turned a deaf ear to my kind reminder, then my efforts will not be in vain.
Lufu said something to me before her death. She said that since that incident, for more than ten years, she had never had a day of peace of mind. Almost every night, she would dream of those who were killed by her. She would dream of them.
Come and ask for her life.
She regrets very much. She regrets that she listened to you and actually killed a child. What about you, Concubine Yun? Do you have any repentance over the years? Have those old friends ever come to you in your dreams? "
For some reason, Concubine Yun suddenly felt cold all over her body, and the summer sun shone on her body without even a trace of warmth.
She panicked and just wanted to get out of here quickly.
"What kind of old friend is here in my dream? Stop talking nonsense here!" After saying that, he quickly returned to the palace.
Ye Fuxun looked at her back and smiled. Bai Yuxian was right. There will be fear when you do something bad, and Concubine Yun is no exception.
Seeing how pale her face suddenly turned, one could tell that she must have recalled those nightmares she had had.
After Concubine Yun Gui returned to the palace, Ye Fuxun's words kept echoing in her mind, which made her feel uneasy and she didn't even have the appetite to eat.
Lying on the bed and closing her eyes, the figures of Concubine Shu, the little princess and even the eldest princess appeared, which made her remember the bloody scenes in those nightmares. She couldn't help but feel horrified, and she lost all sleep.
On summer nights, the palace was extremely hot and stuffy. Even if ice cubes were placed in the palace, the heat could not be eliminated. Concubine Yun simply left the palace and went outside to get some fresh air.
Unknowingly, we walked to the Royal Garden.
Concubine Yun Guifei saw the light of fire in front of her and walked over curiously. She saw several maids burning paper in a copper basin on the edge of the pond.
The pond and the paper money reminded Concubine Yun immediately of the little princess who drowned here, and she couldn't help but shiver down her spine.
"What are you doing?"
When the maids turned around and saw that it was Concubine Yun, they quickly stood up and saluted: "See Concubine Yun."
Concubine Yun frowned and asked again: "I ask what you are doing?"
A palace maid hesitated and said: "Slaves, slaves are here, burning paper money for, here..."
"to whom?"
"The slaves heard from the old palace people that the little princess died tragically here thirteen years ago today, and every year after that these days the place would be haunted, and many palace servants working nearby were frightened.
