Chapter 355 The Queen's Arrival 6
Although I know what happened, I still want to ask.
Xuanyuan Yu was not seriously injured. He was fine after changing his clothes and drinking ginger soup.
"Your Highness, this is what happened. I failed to take good care of Your Highness, and I am willing to be punished."
Guyu prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed heavily. She was just thankful that Xuanyuan Yu was fine, otherwise she would be blamed for his death.
Nan Xi looked at Xuanyuan Yu who wanted to beg for mercy and closed her eyes. Did she look like such an unkind person?
"Get up, you are indeed at fault in this matter, so I will fine you one month's salary."
Guyu cried with joy. How could this be a punishment? His Highness had rewarded her with much more than this amount of money.
"Thank you, Queen!"
Nan Xi waved her hand and dealt with the matter of Xuanyuan Yu falling into the water.
This incident looked like an accident, but how could it be possible?
All the palace maids and eunuchs who were present at the scene were arrested and were being severely tortured and interrogated.
Nan Xi went to see them in person and put truth talismans on them. It didn't take long before they all confessed.
Since it involved concubines in the harem, Xuanyuan Che was also invited over, and all the concubines in high positions in the harem also arrived at the scene.
"You are slandering me, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. I have never done such a thing."
Cheng Yurou knelt on the ground, crying, but she refused to admit it.
Cheng Yurou's personal maid Xiangcao also lay on the ground trembling, not daring to speak.
The concubines were whispering and staring at Cheng Yurou.
"How did she do it when the evidence was so irrefutable? She still refused to admit it."
"That's right. Everyone pointed out that it was her maid, Xiangcao, who did it. Could she really not know about it?"
"Poor Vanilla, she must have been blamed by her master."
……
Cheng Yurou cried and cursed in her heart.
"Well, you dogs and slaves, you took my money but didn't do anything for me, you are really a bunch of ungrateful wolves."
[Ding! Host, I asked you to exchange for the loyalty talisman, but you refused. Now it's backfired, right? ]
"I……"
Cheng Yurou did regret it. If she had known that these people were so useless, she would definitely have listened to the system.
Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Xuanyuan Che felt extremely distressed, but with so much evidence, he couldn't be too biased.
"You dogs and slaves, are you trying to bite your master? Tell the truth, who asked you to frame Concubine Rou?"
Yes, in a short period of time, Cheng Yurou reached another level.
"Your Majesty, this is wrong. The witnesses' testimonies are all there. How could there be someone behind this to frame you?"
Nan Xi wanted to see how Cheng Yurou would overturn the verdict.
Cheng Yurou really seemed to be made of water. She blinked and tears fell down in strings, which looked like a broken beauty.
Xuanyuan Che was indeed heartbroken, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to help.
"Rou'er, you've suffered."
Nan Xi couldn't help but rolled her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou just cried twice, but she hasn't been tortured yet."
Xuanyuan Che rebuked loudly, "Queen, do you still want to torture me? Are you trying to force me to confess?"
Nan Xi really couldn't bear it anymore, so she waved her hand and attached a mantra talisman to Cheng Yurou.
A white light flashed, and the mantra talisman turned into spiritual energy and dissipated.
"what happened?"
Xiaoying said in surprise: "Master, Cheng Yurou's system is quite powerful. It can be immune to low-level talismans and curses."
"So this is ah."
Nan Xi looked at the crying Cheng Yurou and felt a little embarrassed. What should she do now?
"Queen, why don't you let Rou'er get up? She is weak and will get sick if she kneels for too long."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Che stood up and went to help Cheng Yurou.
Although it was not convenient for him to interfere in the affairs of the harem, who was in trouble? But who could blame Rouer, his beloved daughter?
Cheng Yurou stood up with the help of Xuanyuan Che. At this moment, she felt that she had suffered a great injustice and her eyes were a little red.
"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged."
Xuanyuan Che comforted him, "I believe you."
Cheng Yurou raised the corner of her mouth complacently, then pressed it down hard.
"Your Majesty, can I go back now? My legs hurt so much."
The two of them were talking to each other, not taking Nan Xi seriously at all.
"Crack...Boom..."
Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck and landed on Cheng Yurou. Xuanyuan Che was too close and was also affected. Cheng Yurou's clothes were immediately torn, her hair was burnt and stood up, and her face was pitch black.
Xuanyuan Che was slightly better, but his clothes, hair and eyebrows were also damaged.
All the concubines knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
"puff……"
Concubine Rong couldn't help but almost laughed out loud. The scene was a bit scary at first, but when she saw the miserable looks of Xuanyuan Che and Cheng Yurou, she became happy.
When she heard such a funny sound, Rong Fei realized that it was inappropriate. She pursed her lips and dared not laugh anymore.
Xuanyuan Che was already confused at this point, with a wave of fear in his mind.
Finished!
I will be nagged by the court officials tomorrow.
Cheng Yurou was also frightened. She was actually struck by lightning.
Oh my god, is this a punishment from heaven?
Is this God's warning to her?
The system is also constantly checking, trying to find out the cause of the thunder.
Nan Xi put down the fingers that were pinching the seal and felt a little relieved. The talisman was useless, but fortunately the Thunder-Inducing Seal was still of some use.
Xuanyuan Che looked up at the sky, then suddenly pulled Cheng Yurou and fled.
No one present could react until the two had already run away. Only when they disappeared did everyone exclaim in surprise.
"Wasn't that thunder just now?! So scary!"
"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, how could he..."
"Could it be that Cheng Yurou is a demon concubine? Only God would strike her with thunder?"
……
"Everyone, please go back."
Nan Xi gave the order and asked the concubines to disperse.
Since Xuanyuan Che is determined to stand on Cheng Yurou's side, it would be extremely difficult to convict her through formal channels.
In this harem, the truth is often obscured by power and interests, and justice and fairness can often only be a luxury fantasy.
She smiled faintly. What's the harm? Everyone knew who was the real culprit behind the scene.
In the harem, there is never a need for conviction, as there are plenty of false charges.
Everyone said goodbye one after another, only complaining wildly in their hearts.
"Oh my god, was the emperor struck by lightning just now?"
"The appearance of those two just now was so funny, haha..."
"This is the first time I've seen a real person being struck by lightning, and it was Your Majesty..."
The concubines all held back their laughter as they left Fengyi Palace.
Xuanyuan Che and Cheng Yurou were so embarrassed this time that they were too ashamed to see anyone.
Cheng Yurou was lucky enough to just hide in her own palace, but Xuanyuan Che was not so lucky.
As the morning light began to break, Xuanyuan Che was awakened by the eunuchs serving him. Even though he was the emperor, he could not escape the responsibility of attending the morning court day after day.
Xuanyuan Che stepped into the court and walked calmly towards the dragon throne. Upon seeing this, all the ministers knelt down and saluted, shouting.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone is safe."
An old minister, holding a tablet, walked out of the queue tremblingly and said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, we are all horrified by what happened yesterday. Is Your Majesty healthy? Is this celestial phenomenon a warning from heaven?"
