"As Qiao Yu's mistress, this concubine naturally has more interactions with Imperial Consort Niangniang. As for Imperial Consort Jiejie's purpose of bringing this concubine into the palace, it is really the same as Imperial Consort Shen. Seeing that Your Majesty is depressed over the death of the late Empress, and coincidentally this concubine looks somewhat similar to the late Empress, Imperial Consort Niangniang then …"
"Niangniang, you are crazy!"
Seeing that her scheme was about to succeed, Qiao Yu did not expect that Li Yingying would actually take the initiative to exonerate Shen Yueji in front of the Emperor.
Li Yingying did not look at her, but continued to say, "As for the matter of the poisonous flower, this concubine dares to confirm that this matter has nothing to do with Imperial Consort Niangniang. It was done by Qiao Yu alone. Her purpose of doing this was to frame Imperial Consort Jiejie."
"Before this, Qiao Yu's whereabouts were secretive, and she hid it from me many times. I did not know what she was doing, but now …"
"Everything that happened in Feng Qi Palace today, this concubine vaguely knew that her recent mysteriousness was to deal with Imperial Consort Shen. When Imperial Consort Shen fell off a cliff to save Your Majesty, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead, Qiao Yu instigated this concubine to rely on the Empress. "
"This concubine remembered that Imperial Consort Shen had saved this concubine's life, and was unwilling to listen, but …"
Li Yingying gritted her teeth, "Qiao Yu's words were sharp, and she repeatedly dissuaded this concubine, making this concubine slightly moved. This concubine felt that Qiao Yu grew up with this concubine, and this concubine understood her temperament. Relying on the Empress was just a matter of time. For people like us without any background, only relying on the Empress can we survive in the Inner Palace."
Speaking of this, Li Yingying's tears fell again, "But this concubine has never thought of betraying Imperial Consort Shen. Everyday in Diao Yang Palace, I burn incense and pray, hoping that Imperial Consort Shen can return safely."
Speaking of this, Li Yingying choked with sobs, "How could this concubine dare to forget Imperial Consort Shen's kindness to this concubine? If it was not for Imperial Consort Shen, this concubine might have already died in the Li residence, and how would I be able to fly up the branch today? This concubine is not the kind of person who does not know gratitude, this concubine … this concubine is just unwilling to part with Qiao Yu for so many years, this concubine is unable to make a decision in such a short time. Emperor, this concubine is willing to accept all the punishments! I hope … I hope … "
She couldn't bear to look at Qiao Yu next to her. Even if she couldn't bear it, she had to abandon her. If she didn't abandon her, then it would be difficult for her to move a single step in the harem. What's more, just gossiping in the harem, stirring up discord, framing concubines, and plotting to kill the Empress, these crimes added together were enough to take her life. How could she protect her?
But Li Ying Ying still made a final struggle: "Qiao Yu grew up with this concubine, she was this concubine's only light in the Li Residence during those years where I could not see the light of day. I only beg Your Majesty to give this concubine face, no matter how you torture her, I hope that you can spare her life."
Li Yingying knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Emperor.
Her fair forehead was flushed red. She thought that he would spare Rao Qiaoyu's life for her sake, as she was the woman who had slept with him for one night.
However, she did not expect that the young emperor would only look at her indifferently.
Very quickly, he lowered his gentle eyes and looked at the woman in his embrace: "Yue Ji thinks?"
"Imperial Consort Ying was brought into the palace by this concubine. Now that her own maid has committed a crime, Imperial Consort Ying naturally has to deal with it impartially and give this concubine an explanation. What is there to plead for?"
