The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 945
“Concubine Zhen, what are you doing?” Originally Emperor Qi was still in a good mood, but now the look on his face had darkened slightly due to the actions of Consort Zhen.
Oi! I am an article!
Zhao Xueyan blinked her eyes then asked with her beautiful face pretending to look innocent: “Concubine Zhen, what are you doing?”
“I...” Concubine Zhen looked at Emperor Qi, then she turned her head towards Ye Wushuang, there was a hint of helplessness on her charming face. Concubine Zhen looked extremely troubled, as if she was forced to do something shameful.
Oi! I am an article!
Ye Wushuang simply stared at all of this nonchalantly, without the slightest hint of panic or anxiety.
“Concubine Zhen, do you want to eat it? If you want to eat then you can ask the noble Concubine to give it to you. For what ruin the pleasure of the Emperor?” Consort Chang had deliberately provoked, knowing that Consort Zhen was doing this because he had planned it from the beginning.
“True, Consort Zhen, do you want to eat it too?”
Zhao Xueyan showed a very considerate attitude.
Oi! I am an article!
The more Zhao Xueyan said like that, Consort Zhen's expression increasingly looked uncomfortable. Suddenly, Consort Zhen already wanted to cry under everyone's gaze.
“Concubine Zhen, is there anything you want to say?”
“True, you why? If there is a problem then tell me, are you oppressed? Emperor is here, he can defend you.”
Concubine Zhen did not speak, only staring at the expressions of Ye Wushuang and Yangui. Seeing that the two people did not look panicked and nervous at all, Consort Zhen was confused.
But everyone's eyes were now on him, he was already completely unable to act anymore. So Consort Zhen immediately stood right in the crowd and said while looking at Ye Wushuang: “Sister Cousin, instead of me not allowing you to eat it, but there is a deadly poison in the cake.”
Everyone was shocked and at the same time looking at each other, they felt confused. Any poison? Who would be so bold as to put poison into the food the Noble Consort had eaten?
“Concubine Zhen, exactly what happened?” Emperor Qi sensed a conspiracy, his eyebrows slightly raised lightly, his dark-black pupils showing a hint of authority and wisdom. Emperor Qi coldly swept across everyone present, in the end he stared towards Ye Wushuang. But Emperor Qi instead saw Ye Wushuang looking calm and flat, this was not like Ye Wushuang did, so his heart felt a little relieved.
Concubine Chang did not want to miss, so she stepped forward and said: “Concubine Zhen, you should not talk carelessly about this kind of thing. Who has so much guts to poison people before the Emperor?”
Concubine Zhen silently looked towards Ye Wushuang, despite not saying anything but she deliberately pointed towards Ye Wushuang.
Everyone took a cold breath and thought to themselves, This newly crowned concubine is truly too brave. Just entered the Palace for a few days but have you dared to hurt your Majesty's Concubine? Does he want to die?
“Concubine Zhen, what exactly are you doubting? There are people who want to harm Your Majesty's Concubine but you are still reluctant to say so?” Consort Chang pretended to say coaxed her, but deep down already thought, ‘Newly appointed concubine Ye, this time afraid that you will find it difficult to escape’.
“Good, I'll say!”
Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth and nodded, as if she had already made a great determination.
“Sister Cousin, the deadly poison was affixed by Concubine Ye.”
After Zhao Xueyan heard the remark, she immediately reprimanded Concubine Zhen calmly and said: “Concubine Zhen, you must not recklessly slander others in the presence of the Emperor.”
Emperor Qi's black eyes were stunned, Emperor Qi then said with the majesty of an Emperor: “Actually what happened?”
After the remark was ejected, he glanced at Ye Wushuang heavily, not wanting Ye Wushuang to have anything to do with the matter.
Concubine Zhen said: “Emperor, didn't I misunderstand Consort Ye a while ago? I thought he was having an affair with another man, after which the cousin admonished me and also scolded me. I was not happy at that time and was at odds with Sister Cousin, it just so happened that Consort Ye saw her. I was thinking of protecting the holy name of the Emperor, so I deliberately approached Concubine Ye, I wonder if she was really having an affair with the man outside or not. But who would have thought, it turned out that his heart was very cruel, because he was envious of the high standing Brother Cousin, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to kill him.”
