Chapter 212 Report
They then set their sights on Wu Weiwei.
Hearing the news from Xie's informant in Jiangnan, Lu Hanting seemed to intend to hand over the position of Imperial Merchant to one of his concubines.
As for whether it's He Yuyan or Wu Weiwei, it's really hard to say for the time being.
But Xie Jinqi guessed it should be Wu Weiwei.
After all, He Yuyan had caused such a big incident, and there was a high probability that she would not be favored by the emperor.
Therefore, they planned to take advantage of the time while the Crown Prince was away from the capital to acquire the properties under Wu Weiwei's name.
If she is willing to sell her property to them, it means she has no intention of doing business.
At that time, the Crown Prince will not forcibly hand over the position of Imperial Merchant to her.
Then all that's left is for Xin'er to marry him.
The two families then became related by marriage.
If they put on another show, the heir might feel obligated to hand over the position of imperial merchant to the Xie family.
But now, judging from Xin'er's words, it seems that Madam Wu would rather let her business rot in her hands than sell it.
Xie Jinqi frowned.
If that's the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
royal palace.
Consort Lian knelt outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a full day and night.
In the end, Consort Jing couldn't stand it anymore and said a few good words for her to the Emperor.
Emperor Mingcheng then met her.
Consort Lian knelt below, trembling.
She looked up at the emperor sitting on the high platform and dragon throne.
Only then did Consort Lian truly understand the majesty of imperial power.
She had been in the palace for ten years, and the emperor had always treated her with kindness and gentleness, never showing her any coldness.
But ever since she committed the crime, the emperor has never given her a kind look again.
Even when Huai'er came to plead for mercy, Emperor Mingcheng sent him away without even seeing his son.
To be honest, she did harbor some resentment.
Unfortunately, she was a foreigner who had been sent as tribute from a foreign land.
In this vast palace, the only person she could rely on was the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent."
"I swear, if I have ever done anything presumptuous, may the true spirit take my soul away..."
"Consort Lian, do you think I would still believe your lies?"
"Your Majesty, but I truly have not done anything to wrong you!"
"You're still making excuses!"
Emperor Chenghua was clearly enraged.
"Call the witness."
After all, Consort Lian had been with him for many years, and he originally didn't want to embarrass her.
But she just wouldn't repent, so today I'll make sure she dies knowing why.
The witness who heard the emperor speak.
Consort Lian's face paled slightly.
No, no, that person said that unless he died, no third person would know about this.
Besides, she really didn't do anything to wrong the emperor...
Soon, a person walked in from outside the hall.
The man had a handsome face, thin and pale, with a faint scholarly air about him.
"This humble subject petitions Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years!"
"Be flat!"
Emperor Mingcheng looked at the man before him.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Consort Lian raised her head slightly and looked at the man who had been summoned into the hall.
She had never heard of this name before, nor did she know him.
Just as Consort Lian was about to feel relieved.
But then Emperor Mingcheng said, "Eunuch Wei said you have something to present to me."
What is it?
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing quickly took out the booklet from his sleeve.
Eunuch Wei took it and handed it to the emperor.
Consort Lian saw Emperor Mingcheng squinting as he carefully examined the contents of the book.
Soon, just as he turned to the last page, his expression and demeanor suddenly changed.
A strong aura of malevolence.
"You, Consort Lian, how dare you say you've never done anything to wrong me?"
Open your dog eyes wide and see what's written on this...
Emperor Cheng threw the booklet at Consort Lian's head.
Consort Lian has been spending these past few days in anxiety and unease, unable to eat or sleep properly.
The force of just a small booklet caused her to fall headfirst to the ground.
He looked quite disheveled.
She picked up the booklet from the ground.
When Consort Lian saw the records in delicate handwriting detailing the number of times she had visited Wei Garden and what she had done, she panicked.
"Your Majesty, this, this..."
She turned her head and gave the newcomer a sharp look.
This must have been recorded by Qin Baihe.
Who is this person to Qin Baihe?
Why would you have her private items?
"Consort Lian, what excuses do you have now?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life!"
I only asked them to give me a massage!
I have not done anything wrong, Your Majesty, please spare my life!
Consort Lian kowtowed repeatedly, several times.
A large swelling instantly appeared on her forehead, and blood gushed down from the bruised wound.
Chen Qing trembled as he looked at Consort Lian's miserable state.
He had heard from Qin Baihe that Consort Lian had been favored by the emperor for many years.
Even the Empress couldn't do anything about her.
However, her current predicament is largely due to her actions.
But this also demonstrates the emperor's ruthlessness.
He heard that many of the unfavored concubines in the palace would have eunuchs climb into their beds to relieve their loneliness when they were feeling unbearable.
The same solution was not acceptable to the emperor because the person serving Consort Lian was a real man.
As Chen Qing was filled with fear and trepidation, he heard the emperor's majestic voice ring out once more.
"Eunuch Wei, drag this vile woman away. I never want to see her again in my life."
"As ordered!"
"Your Majesty, please don't! I really didn't do anything to betray you!"
All of this was caused by that prostitute Qin Baihe—no, it was caused by the Empress and Consort Chen.
Qin Baihe must have been instructed by them to set a trap for me..."
"Drag it!"
Emperor Mingcheng ignored Consort Lian's cries for justice.
Until Consort Lian's voice grew softer and softer until it could no longer be heard.
Emperor Mingcheng then raised his eyes to look at Chen Qing kneeling below.
"Tell me, who's behind you, and who sent you to testify against Consort Lian?"
Although Emperor Mingcheng was unwilling to listen to Consort Lian's explanation, it doesn't mean there wasn't someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The emperor's words terrified Chen Qing.
"Your Majesty, there is no one else here; it was I who came on my own."
Emperor Cheng waved his hand.
Then they heard Eunuch Wei loudly rebuke:
"Chen Qing, if you don't speak honestly, I'm afraid you'll lose your head today."
Seeing that the guards were about to take him away, Chen Qing's eyes reddened.
"Your Majesty, no one really sent me."
It was my fiancée who betrayed me, and this is my revenge.
That's why this humble citizen went to the palace to report Consort Lian..."
"Oh?"
Emperor Cheng waved his hand, signaling the guards to put down the petition.
"What does your fiancée's betrayal have to do with your reporting of Consort Lian?"
Seeing that the guard had released him.
Chen Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Then she hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, my fiancée is Qin Baihe, whom Consort Lian just mentioned."
She was originally a prostitute at the Yihong Courtyard, but was taken in by the concubine of Prince Lu and became the manager of Wei Garden.
The reason Consort Lian made a mistake is largely due to Qin Baihe!
