Chapter 931 Dog bites dog
Song Qing was so frightened that she burst into tears and began to pretend again, "I don't know what I have done to make the emperor so angry. My leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I didn't go to the birthday banquet. I don't know what happened..."
She had a leg injury and had not left Jinghe Palace. The Empress knew about it! She did not dare to say this.
Xie Shang said coldly, "Bring the person up here."
Soon, Nanny Yun was brought in front of Song Qing. Nanny Yun said, "Your Majesty, help me." Not long after she came out of the ancestral hall, she was held down by someone.
Song Qing was stunned for a moment, pretending to know nothing. "What's wrong with Nanny Yun? Did you do something wrong? Why are they tying you up? Did the emperor misunderstand?"
Xie Shang was indeed irritated tonight. He was irritated by Xiao Shang. He said, "Since this is a harem matter, let the Queen review it!"
Jiang Fenghua paused. Song Qing was the emperor's woman. Was he afraid that punishing Song Qing would cause Peng Fei to feel alienated?
Today she had no intention of letting Song Qing get away with it again, otherwise she would have really emboldened Song Qing.
Jiang Fenghua didn't expect Song Qing to be so good at pretending. She had already given Song Qing a chance. She had also informed the concubines when they entered the palace. If everyone behaved well, she would naturally let them live a good life in the palace. If they were too serious and made trouble, she would use her as an example to scare the others.
At the same time, she wanted Xie Shang to learn a lesson from Song Qing. In his previous life, he also took many women into the palace, and used the harem to restrain the former dynasty. Although this method was useful and desirable, if it was not used properly, it could also overturn a boat.
Song Qing is a living example.
Jiang Fenghua even thought that in his previous life, he had many concubines and he protected the Xie family's kingdom. However, after his death, the Great Zhou Dynasty quickly declined and perished. Isn't their pattern another reason that accelerated the demise of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"Doesn't Concubine Shu know what Nanny Yun and your mother did?" Jiang Fenghua asked in a deep voice.
"I don't understand what the Queen is saying. My mother has already left the palace. She is just an illiterate country woman. She came to the palace to wish the Emperor a happy birthday. She has no bad intentions!" Song Qing cried softly.
"Since Concubine Shu knows nothing, then bring Madam Song here to confront Nanny Yun. That way, you'll know everything." Jiang Fenghua added, "Aoxue, bring her here!"
When Madam Song was brought before Song Qing, she was still crying and shouting that she was wronged. "I am truly wronged. I beg the emperor to investigate."
The noise of the women in the room was giving Xie Shang a headache. He glanced coldly in Madam Song's direction, "You're relying on your status as Consort Shu to form a clique for personal gain. You Song family are truly a bunch of rat shit. You're really bringing honor to General Peng!"
Song Qing bit her lip and refused to admit it. She couldn't bear the responsibility of "forming a clique for personal gain". At most, she wanted to pave the way for the Song family and the second prince.
She quickly said, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I really don't know anything!"
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Since it wasn't Concubine Shu's order, then it was Nanny Yun who acted on her own initiative and colluded with foreign enemies in an attempt to explore the secrets of the Great Zhou. The crime of being a traitor is more than just the death penalty for the entire clan. I wonder if Nanny Yun can bear such a charge."
Nanny Yun was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweats. She unconsciously looked in the direction of Concubine Song Shufei. It didn't matter if she died, but her family members couldn't be implicated by her and become traitors, and bear the stigma for generations.
Jiang Fenghua held a porcelain bottle in her hand. "This thing was found on Madam Yun. Madam Yun followed me all day and didn't find a chance to take it! Who gave this thing to Madam Yun?"
Nanny Yun was so frightened that she kept apologizing, "Please spare me, Queen! I was only helping to pass on the message. I would never dare to murder the Queen, even if I die! These are all foreign thieves who were in contact with Concubine Shu and Young Master Song..."
Song Qing said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about, you old hag? How dare I murder the Empress? I have never thought of harming the Empress."
She knelt before Jiang Fenghua again, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. I would never dare to murder you even if I died. I remember all the kindness you have shown me. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really didn't do that. I can swear that my mother and brother are just a little greedy, and they would never pass on any information to the enemy."
Song Qing is now at a loss, she cannot bear this crime!
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang ignored her and just watched her go crazy.
She stood up again and limped to Madam Yun, "Madam Yun, I've always been very kind to you, and I've always been very kind to your family, too. Why are you so ungrateful and accusing me?"
She stared coldly into Nanny Yun's eyes and said, "Where did you get this bottle of medicine from? Please explain it yourself. I know nothing."
Nanny Yun was also dumbfounded. She moved her lips and thought to herself, it turned out that the Queen had known about it for a long time. No wonder she didn't find Hua Rui when she went to look for her during the day.
Could it be that when she hid things in the ancestral hall, she was also under the Queen's nose? It seems that she can't escape this time. If she dies, she will drag Concubine Song Shu down with her.
Before Nanny Yun could say anything, Concubine Song Shu continued, "Nanny Yun stole things from the palace and sold them outside. Where did she hide the money? Your Majesty will definitely find out if you interrogate her strictly."
Xie Shang sneered, "Shufei, tell me where she put the money from the sale."
Song Qing's eyes were filled with embarrassment. "Just search her room and you'll find out!"
Xie Shang supported his head with one hand, his voice lazy. The women of the Song family were indeed stupid. "Shangguan Li, take your men to search."
Dong'er quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me lead the way for Commander Shangguan! Nanny Yun's room is over there."
Shangguan Li went to Nanny Yun's room and easily found a bag of silver on the bed. Dong'er chirped beside him, "Nanny Yun, even if she stayed in the palace for another twenty years, her monthly allowance wouldn't add up to this much. Where did all this money come from..."
Shangguan Li glared at her and left with his men. Ever since Madam Song was captured, she had hurried back to Jinghe Palace to discuss countermeasures with Concubine Shu. Who was she jumping out to act for now?
Dong'er also felt that this matter could not be concealed at all, but Concubine Shu insisted on putting a bag of silver in Nanny Yun's room, which made her feel embarrassed.
According to Dong'er, Concubine Shu was harmed by the Song family. If they hadn't been like blood-sucking leeches and constantly reaching out to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu would not have colluded with those wealthy businessmen to collect money.
Now she is accused of treason. How can Concubine Shu bear such a charge?
