Chapter 88
Pei Minglan sneered in her heart, how could he not know the fierce fight between Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin?If he really had such deep affection for Concubine Shu, would he investigate thoroughly if he had the ability?Since she clearly protected Concubine Lin Gui, it's no wonder Concubine Shu was wronged!

What does this have to do with her?Can this also be blamed on her?
"Exemption!" Yuwen Yuanzhen spit out two words coldly, obviously not intending to wake up Pei Minglan.

Kneeling and sitting, the result seems to be doomed.

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Liu was not willing to let go of this opportunity, and she immediately got up and fell to the ground crying: "Ms. Concubine Shu died wronged! Please, Your Majesty, avenge Concubine Shu's justice!"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Liu, I won't let Concubine Shu die in vain." Yuwen Yuanzhen's face softened a little, and he signaled the servants in the palace to help Mrs. Liu up.

"Thank you, the emperor, for your grace!" Madam Liu wept and turned around to sit down, staring at Pei Minglan with even more resentment.

"Pei Minglan! You are guilty!" Yuwen Yuanzhen yelled sharply, full of majesty as the king of a country.

The emperor was furious, bleeding and drifting across the oar, if the person kneeling in the palace was an ordinary lady, she would have been so frightened that she could not speak.However, Pei Minglan is the person who is not afraid of Yuwen Yuanzhen the most in this world. No matter how much Yuwen Yuanzhen deliberately releases the coercion around him, it will be nothing but a joke in Pei Minglan's eyes!

"Your Majesty, my servant knows nothing after she is in a coma. She doesn't know what happened, let alone what crime she committed. Please speak clearly!" Pei Minglan lowered her head, her voice was not loud, but her words were clear.

"I don't know?" Yuwen Yuanzhen sneered, "Then I'll make you understand! Your collision caused Concubine Shu to fall into the water and die, an unforgivable crime!"

What Yuwen Yuanzhen said was very good.He didn't say that Pei Minglan knocked Concubine Shu into the water. In fact, there were so many people present at that time, the court ladies and eunuchs were fine, but many beautiful women in the cabin also saw it. Even if he wanted to plant it, it would not be easy.

What he meant was that Pei Minglan's bump shocked Concubine Shu to the point that Concubine Shu fell into the water and died. Pei Minglan had no way to justify it.

Even if it wasn't because of Pei Minglan, it was because of her.Concubine Shu's life, she will pay for it!
"Your Majesty!" Pei Minglan burst into tears immediately, because her body trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind because of the suppressed crying, she cried regretfully and guiltily: "My daughter is indeed guilty! It's all my daughter's fault! At that time, the female concubine saw Concubine Shu's body falling outwards in panic, so she jumped up and wanted to hold her, but who knew that the scene was too chaotic at that time, and the female servant did not know who she was stumbling over, so she bumped her head on the deck. I failed to hold Concubine Shu! Otherwise, Concubine Shu would not have passed away! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The expressions of Marquis Wuchang and Mrs. Liu changed slightly.

"Are you serious?" Marquis of Wuchang asked coldly.

Yuwen Yuanzhen's complexion became even uglier, and he gave Pei Minglan a bitter look and hummed silently.This woman is so cunning!

"The crime of deceiving the emperor will be added!" Yuwen Yuanzhen said coldly without waiting for Pei Minglan to speak: "At that time, everyone at the scene saw that Concubine Shu fell into the water because you were frightened, so you have a sharp mouth, black! It can also be said to be plain! According to what you say, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious? Should I reward you heavily?"

"I don't dare!" Pei Minglan smiled wryly. Of course, it cannot be said that all the people present in the palace would not turn towards her. She just said: "I have no enmity with Concubine Shu, so how could I harm Concubine Shu!"

Yuwen Yuanzhen sneered, and said coldly: "You are a show girl now!"

She is a beautiful girl now, and it is very likely that she will stay in the palace as a concubine, so Concubine Shu is actually her enemy.At least, a competitor!It is not surprising that she would not let Concubine Shu suffer if she had the opportunity.

Yuwen Yuanzhen didn't say this meaning, but the Marquis of Wuchang and Pei Minglan both heard it.

Pei Minglan couldn't help but secretly scolded Yuwen Yuanzhen for being shameless!It's amazing for a man to do this!
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because my courtiers are beautiful women that I wanted to save Concubine Shu at that time! If I am lucky enough to stay in the palace in the future, I will be able to take care of Concubine Shu. But I don't want to—"

"But I don't want to frighten Concubine Shu because of your small thoughts! So much so that she was killed! Pei Minglan, it's useless to talk too much. Anyway, there is no doubt that Concubine Shu died because of you! I won't let you! Concubine Shu died in vain!" Yuwen Yuanzhen interrupted Pei Minglan, tantamount to directly pinning Concubine Shu's death on Pei Minglan's head, she must be pushed out as a scapegoat!

Pei Minglan bowed her head and said nothing for a while, "The emperor said that the courtiers can't tell the difference! If the courtiers know that things will become like today, they will definitely act like everyone else and never act rashly!"

Marquis Wuchang and Mrs. Liu's expressions changed. Mrs. Liu's chest was very congested, and she gave Pei Minglan a dissatisfied look: Her daughter is Concubine Shu, should everyone just watch her accident and no one save her?

Mrs. Liu was sad for a while and felt sad.

Yuwen Yuanzhen's face turned dark, and he shouted sharply: "Pei Minglan, you are so courageous! I will not let you, the chief culprit, be spared, and naturally none of those slaves can escape!"

Pei Minglan stopped talking to provoke him, but just knelt there quietly.

Yuwen Yuanzhen stared at her with extreme anger in his heart, this was not the result he wanted, not at all!
Now this kind of result seems to be like him using power to suppress others, not to mention Wu Gonghou and Madam Liu will be dissatisfied, even he himself feels extremely aggrieved!

What he wanted was Pei Minglan's own confession!Ask her to repent for her actions.

Yuwen Yuanzhen hated it very much in his heart, hated Pei Minglan for not knowing good and bad.If she knew the good and the bad, she should have taken the initiative to say "My daughter is guilty!" Even just one sentence is enough!

But unfortunately, no!
Seeing her so ignorant, although Yuwen Yuanzhen was very dissatisfied, he had no choice but to continue talking, he asked coldly: "Pei Minglan, the matter has come to an end, what do you have to argue?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Pei Minglan's lowered eyebrows, and her voice was soft but firm: "Thunderstorms, rain and dew are all the favor of the emperor, no matter what the emperor's will, I will thank you!"

Yuwen Yuanzhen's face was so ugly that it was almost distorted. At this moment, there was no need for Concubine Lin Gui to instigate eye drops. He also hated Pei Minglan very much.

Ever since Dou Wenying's death, no woman has dared to be so presumptuous in front of him!Pei Minglan, good, good!
He, Yuwen Yuanzhen, is not a mere woman who can command and order. The woman who disrespected his imperial majesty and pointed fingers in front of him back then is dead dead, and he absolutely cannot allow another one to appear!
This feeling made Yuwen Yuanzhen almost lose control!

Is thunder, rain and dew all the grace of the king?Yuwen Yuanzhen really wanted to kill Pei Minglan, but he couldn't do it in front of Wuchang Hou and his wife.
