Chapter 195: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
Your Majesty, my concubine has a severe headache, and I hope your Majesty will have someone take her out." Concubine Qi asked the Emperor for help.
The emperor frowned. He hadn't figured out this matter yet. If Sheng Zhiyao was allowed to leave, it was estimated that Prime Minister Qi and Concubine Qi would definitely settle the matter this time, so he said to Sheng Zhiyao: "Zhiyao,
You should stop arguing with Prime Minister Qi and Concubine Qi, after all, they are elders."
Concubine Qi felt even more unhappy when she saw that the emperor was actually protecting Sheng Zhiyao. She looked at the emperor unconvinced: "Your Majesty, Sheng Zhiyao is also your own princess after all. She doesn't understand any etiquette and contradicts me everywhere. It's really
I don’t know how Sheng Lixin educated his granddaughter.”
Concubine Qi's words once again touched the emperor. He frowned and remained silent.
"It's not Concubine Qi's turn to take care of the affairs of my Sheng family. Besides, your family has inherited the gene of making false accusations from top to bottom. Who knows if you want to murder my grandma," Sheng Zhiyao said as he spoke.
, while raising his eyebrows at Qi Xiang, looking at him demonstratively.
"Sheng Zhiyao, what are you talking about?" Concubine Qi was so angry that she was shaking.
"You yourself know whether I am talking nonsense or not. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Concubine Qi and Prime Minister Qi with disdain and shouted towards the door, "Hongxue, bring everyone in."

Not long after, Hongxue came in with several palace people. Qi Xiang and Qi Guifei were dumbfounded when they saw those people coming in.
After the palace officials walked in, Concubine Qi and Qi Lian quickly made way for them to kneel down.
"Your Majesty, meet the Queen." The palace attendants saluted in unison.
"Forgive me." The emperor looked at these palace people and waved his hand.
"Yes." After several palace attendants responded, they stood up politely, lowering their heads and not daring to raise them.
"Tell me, Zhiyao, what do you want to prove by calling these people here?" The emperor sat back on the dragon throne, glanced at Concubine Qi kneeling in the center of the hall, and said with a serious face.
"Reporting to Grandpa Huang, these palace officials were on duty in the palace when Concubine Qi's accident happened. They witnessed the whole incident."
"Oh? Tell me." The emperor nodded.
"The slaves were waiting in the palace at the time. When they saw Concubine Qi falling to the ground and bleeding a lot, they were frightened on the spot. It was the Queen on the side who made a sound that made the slaves react."
"Then did you see with your own eyes that the Queen pushed Concubine Qi?"
"No." Several palace officials shook their heads in confusion.
"No?" The emperor stared at the palace officials with a suspicious expression.
When the palace attendants saw the emperor's look, they immediately knelt down in panic and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the servants were waiting in the palace at that time and did not see the empress pushing the concubine, but the two empresses did have a dispute."
When Concubine Qi heard what those palace servants said, she was trembling with anger. She pointed at them and cursed: "You bitches, how dare you lie? You must have been bewitched by Sheng Zhiyao to do this."
Yes, right?"
Concubine Qi pointed at their noses angrily, as if she wanted to eat them.
"My dear Concubine Qi, my servants absolutely did not lie."
Several palace people were crying one by one. The way Concubine Qi looked at them felt the atmosphere even more, so she turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I was really pushed down by the empress. You have to believe me!"
The emperor frowned, looked at Concubine Qi, and sneered: "You mean, my precious granddaughter-in-law Sheng Zhiyao has wronged you?"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. I am just worried that they have wronged me. You have also heard Xi'er's testimony. She saw the Queen pushed me with her own eyes." Concubine Qi looked at the Emperor and continued to pretend to be aggrieved.
Sheng Zhiyao snorted coldly: "Qi Guifei, don't worry, I also brought Xi'er, why don't you let her talk about what happened at that time?"
"You...well, since you said so, please ask Xi'er to explain the matter in detail." Concubine Qi glared at Sheng Zhiyao and looked at her with gritted teeth.
"Hongxue, go and bring Xi'er in." Sheng Zhiyao ordered Hongxue.
Hongxue accepted the order and turned to leave.
After a while, Hongxue came in with a female officer.
The female officer looked ordinary, but very thin. She had no makeup on her face and looked clean.
After Xi'er saw Concubine Qi, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I have seen the Emperor and the Queen."
"Xi'er, tell us what happened that day in front of all of us." Sheng Zhiyao looked at Xi'er and said calmly.
"Yes, Princess." Xi'er nodded, and then explained the events of that day in detail.
Xi'er spoke very slowly and carefully, finishing what happened that day word for word.
After listening, Concubine Qi was stunned. She couldn't believe it: "Xier, have you been bribed by Sheng Zhiyao? How dare you confuse right and wrong under such circumstances."
"Concubine Qi, you are wrong. She was confusing right and wrong before, but now she is telling the truth. And Grandpa Huang, Xi'er was not on duty in Biluo Palace that day, but Concubine Qi asked her to testify. I don't know why.
It's intentional." Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Concubine Qi.
"You..." Concubine Qi did not expect that she would be tricked by Sheng Zhiyao.
"What am I? Concubine Qi, you threatened Xi'er's family and asked her to give perjury for you. You are really good at it. You, a harem woman, can reach out so far. Could it be that Qi Xiang helped?" Sheng Zhiyao sneered.
With a sound, he looked at Concubine Qi.
"I didn't." Concubine Qi denied.
"Really? Since there is no such thing, then Concubine Qi, please don't be so excited, or you may hurt yourself if you get angry." Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Concubine Qi contemptuously and said disdainfully.
Concubine Qi was very angry when she saw Sheng Zhiyao's appearance.
"Xi'er, tell the truth whether you were threatened by Concubine Qi?" The emperor looked at Xi'er.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Concubine Qi said that as long as I can get things done, the reward will fall on the servant. Otherwise, I will send my brother to the palace to be a eunuch and my sister to a brothel." Xi'er glanced at Concubine Qi and said,
He turned his attention to the emperor and continued, "I really have no choice, so I have no choice but to do it."
"Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense." Seeing that Xi'er had told the truth, Concubine Qi suddenly felt guilty, "Xi'er, when did I say this? Don't slander me just because you think Sheng Zhiyao is backing you."
"Concubine Qi, you are so cruel? I have really underestimated you!" After hearing Xi'er's words, the emperor was furious.
"No...no, Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I did not do this. I did not do this." Concubine Qi quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, this servant has something else that I don't know whether to talk about or not." Xi'er knelt on the ground and looked at the Emperor hesitantly and said.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." The emperor looked at Xi'er and said indifferently.
Xi'er took a deep breath, then summoned up the courage to look at the emperor, looking like a strong man who had cut off his wrist: "Although I was not on duty that day, when I passed the door of the store, I heard Concubine Qi talking about why the Queen's legitimate son died in infancy.
