In June, the heat was scorching, but in the hall of Yixin Pavilion, it was a cold room.

A group of women, both middle-aged and young, all gorgeously dressed and wearing beaded hairpins, were obviously people with status and background, but at this moment, they all looked at Murong Qiqi, who was standing in disheveled clothes in the center of the hall, with a look of contempt and disgust.

Among them, there is a gaze that is resentful, one is fierce, one is proud, and the rest are disgusted.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding the side looked at her with a distant attitude of evasion, as if she was a tumor, and whoever got it would be stinking for 10,000 years.

"Kneel!" a majestic voice sounded, and there was a sternness hidden in it that could not be resisted.

Murong Qiqi raised his eyes, his gaze swept over the face of the old lady who spoke, and then he looked at Concubine Yi's fierce and disgusted gaze, and did not kneel down obediently, but leaned over and saluted: "See Concubine Yiniang." ”

Concubine Yi is the mother of Lord Yun, the fourth in command in the harem.

There are many beautiful concubines in the harem of the monarch of Chu State, but there are few who can be named, a gorgeous concubine, a Jin concubine, and then the concubine in front of her.

Of course, the most powerful is still the empress dowager.

The queen's position has been vacant for so many years, and several concubines with huge background forces have been fighting to the death for many years, but the emperor has always just watched the bloody battle in the harem with a cold eye and never intervened.

As for the position of the queen, for so many years, the emperor has never let go.

As a result, the women are still fighting to the death, and the man who is being snatched from and over never puts his heart on anyone.

Being a woman like this kind of man is a tragedy in itself, no matter how glamorous they look on the surface, in the eyes of Murong Qiqi today, they are just a group of poor people.

But, no matter how pitiful she is, at this moment, people can pinch her to death like an ant!

"Bold Murong Qiqi, you came to see Concubine Yi as a guilty person, and you didn't quickly kneel down and kowtow to confess!" Mama Xu, who was standing beside Concubine Yi, spoke again.

Qiqi's gaze was finally willing to stay on her, she raised two delicate willow eyebrows, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "May I ask Mama, may I ask what crime Qiqi has committed?"

"You stole the blue sea and cloud pearls of the third princess, and you dare not admit your guilt!" Mama Xu was really full of energy, and every word was loud and sonorous.

Glancing at everyone with an indifferent gaze, the third princess Chu Mingzhu sat with her brother Chu Liuyun, who was born with the same mother, because the rules of the royal family of Chu are different from other countries, and the ranking of the prince and prince is inconsistent with the princesses, and the ranking of the princesses is independent.

Therefore, although Chu Mingzhu is the third princess, she has only just turned seventeen, and she is six years younger than Chu Liuyun, who is the sixth prince.

Seeing that Murong Qiqi still didn't have the slightest intention of confessing, Chu Mingzhu stood up angrily, stretched out his slender jade finger and pointed at Qiqi's ghost-like little face, and said angrily: "Yesterday, you went to the princess's pearl pavilion to play, but you secretly stole the princess's blue sea cloud pearl, and when the princess found out, the cloud bead had already been stolen by you! The cloud bead was given to this princess by her father, and only this princess has it in the whole court, you dare to steal it! Return the cloud bead to this princess, otherwise, this princess will definitely let her mother order someone to kill you on the spot!" ”

It's a cane again, these ancient masters, human life is really worthless in their eyes.

Murong Qiqi was not frightened by her threat, his face was still calm, his eyes were not waveless, and he said lightly: "The princess said that I stole the blue sea cloud pearl, may I ask, is there any evidence?"

In the harem, a crime of theft is enough to ruin a person's life, she went to Mingzhu Pavilion yesterday, it is true that Chu Mingzhu asked her to go, what did she say to open her eyes, but the so-called theft is simply a non-existent thing.

Is there less sin in the harem?
