The emperor also felt that this was not something that Concubine Qin Xian would do. Concubine Qin Xian began to cry, "Who is talking nonsense in front of the emperor and ruining my reputation? I beg the emperor to find out and restore my innocence."
Otherwise, the spittle of those noble ladies could drown me."
Concubine Qin Xian cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining. The emperor felt that this was a serious matter and immediately ordered Eunuch Yuan to investigate the matter thoroughly.
It shouldn't be too easy to investigate this matter, as the palace maid Bi'er was quickly traced.
The maid Bi'er knelt on the ground and said that Concubine Qin Xian had asked her to deliver the message. Concubine Qin Xian was shaking with anger. At this time, the maid from Qinfang Palace who had led Su Tang came to Changchun Palace and recognized that it was Bi'er who had asked her to lead the way.
When the Crown Princess of Jingnan came to see Concubine Qin Xian, she was almost disfigured by a pot of scalding hot water in the imperial garden.
Bi'er knelt on the ground, terrified, but when asked to confess, she insisted that it was Concubine Qin Xian who asked her to tell her the truth, both times.
Concubine Qin Xian was so angry that her whole body trembled and she was immediately tortured.
After twenty blows, Bi'er couldn't resist anymore and confessed to Empress Song. It was the maid next to Empress Song who asked her to do so.
The emperor looked at Empress Song and wanted to eat her. Empress Song knelt down and said, "I am wronged!"
Empress Song believed that Concubine Qin Xian had framed her, and Concubine Qin Xian said directly to the emperor, "The Bi'er people are here. Your Majesty, please interrogate them in person. There is also a donation. This idea was given to Niyang by Sister Zhao Bin. It belongs to
Concubine Zhao cannot let Niyang take the credit for her contribution. I also ask the emperor to reward Zhao Concubine generously after finding out the truth."
Bi'er was indeed Empress Song's spy in Changchun Palace, but she never told Bi'er such a thing. She believed that Bi'er had betrayed her and was tortured. Unfortunately, Bi'er only said that it was her order.
Empress Song was unable to defend herself, so the maids around her had no choice but to stand up and take the blame. The emperor had her head chopped off, and because of her lack of discipline, Empress Song's phoenix seal was taken away and handed over to Concubine Xia Guifei.
Hong Ling revealed everything she knew, and Su Tang was both happy and confused.
She was happy that Queen Song had fallen into trouble and had her Phoenix Seal taken away from her. She was so confused that she finally took advantage of Concubine Xia.
Because of the Duke of Song and his palace, Su Tang didn't have the slightest fondness for Queen Song, but Concubine Xia, she didn't even have any affection for her.
Although Mrs. Xu said that Concubine Xia had helped her, Su Tang really couldn't express any gratitude to Concubine Xia and did not want Concubine Xia to reap the benefits. Couldn't the emperor let Concubine Qin Xian hold the Phoenix Seal? Why should he give it to Concubine Xia?
Where is Concubine Xia?!
Although Su Tang was unhappy in his heart, to be fair, Concubine Qin Xian was not suitable for holding the Phoenix Seal at the moment. Concubine Xia was above her in rank and was the emperor's favorite concubine. She could spare Xia if she had not made any mistakes.
The noble concubine couldn't explain it. Secondly, Concubine Qin Xian had just competed with Empress Song and Concubine Xia for the position of crown prince, and she was being regarded as a thorn in their side.
If Concubine Qin Xian really takes the Phoenix Seal, Empress Song and Concubine Xia will definitely join forces to deal with her. With Concubine Qin Xian's foundation, she will not be able to resist.
Let Concubine Xia be in charge of the Sixth Palace. If Empress Song wants to regain the Phoenix Seal, she will definitely target Concubine Xia. Concubine Qin Xian can just support them in their fight to cultivate her own power, without having to compete for immediate gains.
Su Tang drank tea and slowly calmed down. The maid from outside came in and said, "Prince Concubine, Concubine Qin Xian sent someone to give you a reward."
The reward was expected. Su Tang put down the tea cup and stood up to receive it.
The father-in-law who came to announce the reward had already entered Jingmoxuan. The person who came was Qin Xianfei's confidant. He saluted Su Tang and said, "Xianfei said that she failed to discipline the palace people and was bribed by others, which almost caused the crown prince's concubine to suffer. Special mission."
I send you some comfort, hoping that the Crown Princess's mood will improve."
Concubine Qin Xian gave Su Tang six pieces of silk and satin, a set of jewelry, a box of small East beads and a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.
This comfort was indeed not light, but Su Tangshou felt at ease. It was her mother Xu's idea to pull Concubine Qin Xian out of the quagmire, and also kicked Empress Song in who had tricked Princess Nieyang. If she hadn't been afraid of giving away.
If it is too heavy, it will make people suspicious, so it should be doubled.
After the father-in-law sent him the consolation, he was about to leave. Su Tang asked Banxia to get a bottle of fragrant dew and gave it to the father-in-law. "I'd like to trouble my father-in-law to pass this bottle of fragrant dew to Concubine Qin Xian."
The father-in-law quickly took it, and Su Tang rewarded the father-in-law with another ten taels of silver. The father-in-law left happily from ear to ear. This chapter has been completed!
