Chapter 668: Concubine Dun admitted it (111 million votes plus additional update)
Everyone had already suspected that she had planned this. If she refused Concubine Xian's proposal to search the palace in public, wouldn't it mean that she was guilty?
It was the first time that Concubine Dun experienced the feeling of being forced into a desperate situation and having no other options.
She could only quietly glance at Doukou, then said with a smile: "I want to know more than anyone else who is stirring up trouble in this matter. Then let's do as the Concubine Xian said and search the palace."
"Doukou, take them over there."
Doukou bowed and said, "Yes."
Concubine Dun had not been convicted and was not a criminal. Yikun Palace was her bedroom, and it was understandable that she ordered the maid in charge to lead the way when they wanted to search it.
Shen Zhinian sat on the chair and smiled calmly.
It doesn’t matter whether Concubine Dun has any small moves or not.
Because some things have a determined ending from the moment they begin.
Even if she can't find evidence in Yikun Palace, she can create "evidence".
In order to ensure fairness and also to play a role of mutual supervision, the personnel who searched the palace were composed of palace maids from Zhongcui Palace and Changchun Palace.
Doukou took them to search room by room, feeling torn between her conscience and her desires.
As the senior maidservant beside Concubine Dun, she knew the truth about these things from beginning to end.
When the Concubine Xian ordered someone to send the scar removal medicine, she privately asked Dr. Xie to check it. Dr. Xie said that there was nothing wrong with the ointment and it was very effective in removing scars.
Doukou felt that the Concubine Xian was a really good person. She first helped them on the day of the Third Prince's first birthday. When she learned that the Concubine was injured, she sent someone to deliver ointment.
Who would have thought... that the Empress actually ordered Doctor Xie to tamper with the scar removal medicine to frame the Empress Xianfei...
Doukou was shocked at the time and tried to persuade the empress not to do this. After all, the empress had helped them and had good intentions, so how could they repay her kindness with hatred?
However, the queen refused to listen and said that her most important mission after joining the Queen Mother was to get rid of the Concubine Xian and avenge the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. She finally caught this golden opportunity, how could she let it go?
Although Doukou was unwilling, she was just a palace maid with little influence and could only obey the empress's orders.
Unexpectedly, the truth was finally revealed...
The unused Jiyun grass was hidden in her room. What if she couldn't find a chance to hide it and was discovered by someone?
Doukou was so nervous that sweat was all over her back...
The personal maid that Concubine Dun brought into the palace died unexpectedly of illness when she was still a noble lady.
Doukou did not serve Concubine Dun since she was a child or follow her into the palace, but was later assigned to her side by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Although the two have been together for such a long time and have developed a deep master-servant relationship, Doukou has always been loyal to Dunpin.
But she just wanted to work hard in the palace and wait until she was 25 to be released from the palace and get married. She didn't want to be like Cuizhu, who was next to Liu, who had her freedom just around the corner but was implicated by Liu and her life was ruined.
How to do?
Doukou really doesn't know what to do now...
Seeing that Xiao Zhouzi and his men had searched more and more places, they were almost at her room. Doukou gritted her teeth, finally made up her mind, and knelt down in front of Xiao Zhouzi.
"Eunuch Zhou, I...I have something to tell you!"
……
Main hall.
Seeing that they came back so quickly, Shen Zhinian put down the teacup and asked, "Did you find any results?"
Little Zhouzi bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Doukou said she has something to tell you."
"Oh?"
Shen Zhinian's eyes fell on Doukou, and a bit of interest appeared in his eyes: "What do you want to confess?"
Concubine Dun suddenly looked at Doukou, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
This slave girl, is she going to betray her? !
"Yeah, what do you want to confess?"
Concubine Dun said in a slightly cold tone: "You cannot speak nonsense in front of the two ladies!"
Hearing the warning in Dunpin's words, Doukou trembled.
In the harem, no matter what the reason, slaves who betray their masters always have a bad ending...
But Xiyan is an exception.
Liu had always valued Xiyan, but Xiyan proved Liu's guilt at a critical moment. Not only did she not end up in misery, but she even served in the palace of Concubine Xian.
This shows that Concubine Xian manages the harem well and clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments.
Thinking of this, Doukou’s eyes became more determined!
Although she chose to tell the truth because she didn't want to be implicated by Concubine Dun, there is no fool who can survive in the palace. Doukou changed her words: "Your Highness, I will always remember the kindness you showed me on the day of the Third Prince's first birthday."
"So...so I know that Concubine Dun wants to use the scar-removing medicine you sent to frame the imperial physician beside you. I have been unable to sleep or eat well..."
"But I am afraid of Concubine Dun's identity and I dare not tell the truth..."
"Until today, I, your servant, can no longer bear the torment of my conscience..."
"From beginning to end, these things were planned by our queen herself. She asked Dr. Xie for the Jiyun grass, put it in the scar removal medicine, and then cried thief..."
Although everyone had guessed it in their hearts, they were not surprised to hear this answer. But no one expected that it was the head maid of Yikun Palace who betrayed Concubine Dun.
This play... really gets more interesting the more I watch it!
Even Shen Zhinian was a little surprised.
Before she could use the backup plan she had prepared, Doukou came to her senses and returned to the right path.
But this palace maid is quite clever.
What good will come of following Concubine Dun to the end?
I'm afraid that in the end, Concubine Dun will be fine, but she will have to bear all the blame.
"Is that so?!"
Shen Zhinian looked at Concubine Dun in surprise: "Concubine Dun, is what Doukou said true?"
Concubine Liang also shook her head at Concubine Dun: "Sister Concubine Dun, I always thought that you were very dedicated in raising the Third Prince and that you were a kind person. I never thought... I never thought that you..."
"Could it be that I really misjudged you?"
Concubine Dun almost threw dirty water on Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang, so it is not surprising that both of them are now pointing their fingers at her.
Concubine Dun understood that the situation was hopeless. Doukou knew so much, and as long as she followed her stories and investigated further, all the hard evidence would come to light.
There is no point in refusing to admit it. If His Majesty hears it, it will make him even angrier.
After weighing the pros and cons, Concubine Dun knelt on the ground with a look of regret on her face: "My Lady Xianfei, My Lady Liangfei, I know I was wrong..."
"It is true that I did this, but I was just blinded by greed for a moment..."
Shen Zhinian watched Concubine Dun's performance and suddenly became curious about what other tricks she could come up with.
"Oh! I don't know when there is a reason to frame someone?!"
