The Emperor Has An Illness CH 36-61 (END)

Chapter 51.2

Emperor Jing Li stared intently at Liao Qing Qing.

Liao Qing Qing listened attentively to each palace maid's answer. Then, she looked at Worthy Consort and said, "Your Highness, Worthy Consort, what do you think about this matter?"

Each of the palace maids answered differently.

Even Lady Li of Fragrant Ceremony's answer is different!

What does this show?

It meant that someone was lying, or all of them were lying. Regardless of whether someone was lying or all of them were lying, she had lost her chance to bring Liao Qing Qing down.

Not only was that the case, but she had also implicated herself in "planting false evidence against an imperial concubine".

She felt unresigned!

She felt unreconciled that Liao Qing Qing would benefit every time she directly harmed Liao Qing Qing.

She felt unresigned that Liao Qing Qing still benefited from them harming her indirectly!

She thought that Emperor Jing Li and Empress Dowager would blame Liao Qing Qing for Noble Consort Liang's fall. However, it turned out that Emperor Jing Li opened his mouth to protect Liao Qing Qing. Why does she deserve this? She was not convinced and said, "Bengong[1] has nothing to look at. Bengong saw you pushing Noble Consort Liang!"

"Where is the evidence?" Liao Qing Qing asked in response.

"You have seen all of them." Worthy Consort pointed to the group of palace maids.

Liao Qing Qing asked with a smile, "Your Highness, Worthy Consort, you can ask them again. Are they still willing to testify for you?"

No one was stupid, let alone these palace maids accompanying the imperial concubines. Liao Qing Qing had made this so clear that they all knew that the lie had been exposed. If they persist, not only would they die, but their families outside the palace would also be implicated.

They buried their heads even lower.

Worthy Consort froze and averted her gaze to Noble Consort Liang.

Noble Consort Liang saw that it was a losing battle, so she said, "Younger Sister, Worthy Consort, you shouldn't have done that. Bengong just accidentally fell into the water. How can you slander Younger Sister, Lady of Bright Countenance, like that?"

Worthy Consort was taken aback by her words.

Liao Qing Qing raised her eyebrows slightly.

Emperor Jing Li did not find Noble Consort Liang's actions strange.

Empress Dowager continued to listen with her eyes downcast.

"Your Highness, Noble Consort, how could you say such things?" Knowing that Noble Consort Liang was abandoning her, Worthy Consort hastily said, "Elder Cousin, I am your maternal younger cousin. I do everything for the sake of you."

"Your Highness, Worthy Consort, please respect yourself. Don't frame Lady Xi of Bright Countenance and then accuse Bengong. Bengong and Bengong's palace maids have never said that Lady Xi of Bright Countenance pushed Bengong into the water." Noble Consort Liang decisively extricated herself from Worthy Consort.

Worthy Consort's entire body froze.

Yes, that's right.

How clever Noble Consort Liang was. She must have known Liao Qing Qing's intention as soon as she entered the side hall and immediately changed her plan. She casually sent a signal to her palace maids, who understood what she meant.
