Chapter 421: Follow till death, strike first
Now the only person in the palace who can help her is the Imperial Concubine. She has almost offended all of Wanpin, and there is no way she can help her. The concubines who are close to Wanpin will probably not help her either. As for other people, even if they want to help, they can't do anything.
"Oh, that's interesting. Aren't you fine? Why do you still need me to save you?"
Fu Cha Zhixi raised his eyebrows, looked at Chun'er with some curiosity and asked.
"Reporting to the queen, in order to protect the family, I was forced by the queen to take action against Wanpin, but now the queen wants to withdraw me alone to take the blame, and even threatens me with the lives of my family members. I really have no choice, so I want to ask the queen to help me."
"As long as the Imperial Concubine helps me through this difficult time, I will convince the whole clan to join you in the future. Even if you want that position, I and my clansmen will give you a hand."
Chun'er knew very well that this imperial concubine could climb to this position easily, so she must not be someone who is easy to mess with. Instead of talking nonsense, it would be better to offer tangible benefits, which might be able to convince the imperial concubine.
When Fu Cha Zhixi heard this, there was no change on his face, as if he had not heard Chun'er's words at all.
But in his heart he secretly complained that Concubine Chun was not honest.
These words sounded as if the queen was forcing her, but if one listened carefully one could tell something was wrong.
"I have never had such thoughts, nor do I have such great ambitions. You have found the wrong person."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Chun'er with a smile and spoke.
"Even if the queen doesn't care about herself, doesn't she care about the Sixth Prince?"
"If it weren't for the Sixth Prince's good fortune and the help of a noble person, I'm afraid..."
Seeing that Fu Cha Zhixi did not accept the challenge, Chun'er quickly changed her angle and started with the Sixth Prince.
She just didn't believe that the Imperial Concubine didn't care about the Sixth Prince. After all, everyone could guess that the Queen had something to do with what happened last time, so it was natural for the Imperial Concubine not to suspect the Queen.
"If Your Majesty is willing to save my life, I am willing to fight for you, even if it means pointing fingers at the Queen. Don't you want to avenge the Sixth Prince?"
Chun'er stared straight at Fu Cha Zhixi and spoke.
"So you have evidence that the Queen took action?"
Fu Cha Zhixi became more interested after hearing this. After all, the more sins the queen committed, the higher the probability that she would bring her down.
"I don't have any evidence, but I am a witness. I am willing to stand up and prove that it was the Queen who caused the Sixth Prince to fall into the water."
Chun'er looked at Fu Cha Zhixi again and made the assurance.
"Okay, in that case, I will help you this time. Please don't let me down."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Chun'er meaningfully and spoke.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never betray Your Majesty."
Since the queen wanted to harm her, she couldn't be blamed for taking the initiative.
Originally, she had come to the Queen just to make her life better, but now the Queen not only wanted her to take the blame for her, she even threatened her with her own people.
How could she be soft on the queen?
Of course, she also understood that although the imperial concubine said this at the moment, it did not mean that the imperial concubine trusted her very much.
He just wanted to cause trouble for the queen.
After all, as the mother of the emperor, how could the imperial concubine not want to take revenge on the woman who harmed her child?
No matter what, as long as the imperial concubine can help me save my life temporarily, there is still hope.
"My lady, Eunuch Su is here."
Yu Hu bowed to Fu Cha Zhi Xi and then spoke.
"Invite him in."
Fu Cha Zhixi nodded.
"Greetings to the Majesty, and to Concubine Chun."
Su Peisheng bowed to Fu Cha Zhixi honestly and said.
"Get up, Eunuch Su is here now. What does the emperor want to see me about?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Su Peisheng curiously and asked.
"Reporting to Her Majesty, I am here to look for Concubine Chun, but I have disturbed Her Majesty's peace."
Su Peisheng was very polite in answering Fu Cha Zhixi's questions. If the Queen fell, the person most likely to take the position of Queen would be the Imperial Concubine in front of him.
"Mrs. Chun, the Emperor wants to see you. Please follow me."
Then he turned to look at Concubine Chun and spoke.
Chun'er subconsciously looked at Fucha Zhixi. After Fucha Zhixi nodded at her, Chun'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial concubine still needs to use me, so I think she will try her best to protect me.
"In that case, then Lady Chun, you can go with Eunuch Su."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Chun'er and spoke.
"Then I will take my leave first."
After Chun'er bowed to Fu Cha Zhixi, she followed Su Peisheng out.
When Concubine Chun arrived at the Palace of Mental Cultivation, the Emperor was sitting at the top of the table sipping his tea calmly, while the Empress was kneeling in the hall very respectfully. Sweat was oozing from the Empress' forehead, and it was obvious that she had been kneeling for a while.
Chun'er looked at the situation in the hall and became more and more uneasy.
The emperor is so disrespectful to the queen. It seems that the queen may not be able to escape so easily this time.
Thinking of this, Chun'er's eyes rolled and he became more determined in his idea.
The Queen's broken ship seemed to be sinking soon, and she didn't intend to sink with the Queen.
"Greetings to the Emperor, and greetings to the Queen."
"Get up."
The emperor looked coldly at Concubine Chun who was kneeling on the ground and waved his hand, signaling her to get up.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
The emperor was too lazy to waste time talking to Concubine Chun, so he went straight to the point and asked.
"Your Majesty, I think the reason why you asked me to come here is because of Wanpin's matter."
Chun'er didn't beat around the bush this time and directly told the emperor what he wanted to know.
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that Concubine Chun would be so decisive and not hesitate at all.
"In that case, why don't you tell the truth about what you did?"
The emperor's tone did not reveal any emotion; he looked at Concubine Chun and spoke.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I had no choice but to do this."
Chun'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor. Then she looked at the emperor with a pitiful and innocent expression and said.
"I think the emperor should have found out what I did, but none of this was my own will, and I have no other choice."
"The Queen used my clansmen to threaten me, saying that if I didn't do what she wanted, she would make my father and Wanpin's father end up like being dismissed and imprisoned. I was forced to do what the Queen wanted."
Chun'er looked at the emperor with pleading eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
