"What does the Empress mean by this?" the emperor stared at her fiercely with a flash of sharpness in his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The queen gritted her teeth and slowly raised her head, her eyes that were still full of resentment disappeared at this moment, only deep disappointment and pain.

"The concubine just thinks there's no need to waste time on this handwriting......" The queen paused when she said this, her eyes flashed, and she was about to continue, but Rong Guifei rushed to say, "Why does the queen think there is no need to check? Since the queen mother is unwilling to check the handwriting, it is better to check the guards who sent the message!"

The emperor looked sideways at Concubine Rong who couldn't wait, and said lightly, "Oh, what does Concubine Ai know?"

"The concubine doesn't know, the concubine just guesses, someone has to send this thing out of the palace, so the guards in the palace may be worth checking. Rong Guifei was afraid that the emperor would suspect her, so she was prepared, so she immediately vetoed it.

"Oh...... However, there are thousands of palace guards, where to start? This guard is not a very important person, so it is better not to investigate. ”

After the emperor said this, Concubine Rong became anxious, looked at Ji Yao again and again, and motioned for her to step forward and tell the truth, but Ji Yao seemed to be blind, and did not respond to half of Concubine Rong's gaze at all.

Concubine Rong's heart couldn't help but skip half a beat, and when she was about to go out, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Ji Yao suddenly kneeling down, and heard her look panicked and said, "Yes...... Be...... The guard guarding the door gave a secret letter to the maiden, asking the maiden to frame the concubine Niangniang......"

The emperor was a little incredulous when he heard this, just because he saw that Ji Yao always secretly looked at Concubine Rong, and quickly avoided Concubine Rong's gaze, he remembered that before entering the court, Ji Yao opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be calm, I don't know what happened in the past few days to make her afraid of being like this?

If this is true, then what reason does she have to admit such a heinous crime?

"Which guard is it?"

After being silent for a moment, the emperor really got to the bottom of it, Ji Yao listened to the answer but looked at Rong Guifei carefully, Rong Guifei saw that she still seemed to have the intention of retreating, and wanted to look at her but found that the emperor was looking at him directly, so he had to stabilize and not make a move.

Just as the emperor turned his gaze to the empress's face, Concubine Rong opened her mouth very quickly and spit out a few lip words to Ji Yao, to the effect that she should say it quickly, but this move could not escape the emperor's gaze.

"It's the end door, it's called ...... It's called Zhang ...... Zhang Zheng's guards ......" Ji Yao spit out this sentence with difficulty, and at the same time, Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and the smugness in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

Indeed, the queen, who has suppressed her for more than 20 years, is finally about to fall, so how can she not be excited? How can she not vent her anger?

The emperor just showed in his eyes, Gonggong Li already knew, and walked out of the hall like a wind, and the queen looked at the secret letter coldly but was not in a hurry, just waiting to smash the news in her hand into Concubine Rong's heart, telling her to collapse.

"Chang Jiyao, why is your speech so different from what you said three days ago?

Rong Guifei's eyelids jumped suddenly, she didn't expect the emperor to be suspicious, a pair of eyes pressed heavily on Ji Yao's face with anger, Ji Yao pretended to be taken aback, and suddenly lowered her head and shook her shoulders for a long time without being able to say half a word.

"Do you know what you mean by saying these words? If you have a problem, then most of your brothers and sisters are the same dog, and I am afraid that your brother Chang Jiyang will no longer be able to gain a foothold in this court. The emperor's eyes gradually became a little more decided, as if he was quietly finalizing his mind.

Ji Yao was shocked when she heard her brother's words, and slammed on the cold brick floor with a "bang", and said in a trembling voice: "Please be gracious to the emperor, the eldest brother is innocent, what the concubine said just now was what the concubine Niangniang taught the people's daughter, and the people's daughter didn't know anything, and the concubine said that if the people's daughter didn't say that, then the entire Chang family would be wiped out! Ji Yao wanted to ask the emperor to save the Chang family, save the eldest brother, and don't let the loyal soldiers fall into a ruined situation!"

While speaking, Ji Yao kowtowed one after another, and the dull kowtow sound and her words were like a knife stabbing into Rong Guifei's heart, Rong Guifei staggered two steps and almost couldn't stand.

The sound of footsteps outside the imperial study made her suddenly realize that this was a bureau, this was a bureau carefully set up by someone to let her concubine's mother and son die without a place to be buried, from Fengchai to Mixin, all of them were bureaus!

"Zhang Zheng, the guard of the Praetorian Guard, greets Your Majesty!"

A thin young man who looked to be at most twenty was pressed into the imperial study, but he was calm and unhurried between the salutes, without half a point of panic, and he couldn't find half a look on his face except for surprise.

"Boldly guard Zhang Zheng, dare to privately spread secret letters under His Majesty's nose, collude with ill-intentioned people to frame the royal family, do you know the guilt?!" Gonggong Li pulled his voice, and every word was extremely weighty.

Zhang Zheng didn't panic when he heard this, whenever something happened in this palace, it was like sprinkling a handful of flour on a windy day, and it spread out at once, and he naturally heard about this phoenix hairpin.

At this moment, he straightened his spine and said generously: "I just want to ask Gonggong Li, when is this secret letter?"

When Gonggong Li heard this, he looked at the emperor and saw him bowing his head silently, so he said: "The date of payment in the secret letter is the twenty-seventh day of the previous month......

"That's strange, the lowly has been at home since the twenty-third of last month, and he didn't return to Duanmen until a few days ago, I don't know how this secret letter passed through the hands of the lowly office?" Zhang Zheng hurriedly interjected and retorted, unwilling to suffer more than a quarter of an hour of wrongdoing.

Concubine Rong's face stiffened, and she sneered: "This Chang Ji Yao, catch one and bite the other, the concubine feels that the people in this palace are about to be framed by her, her words are really not credible, and I also ask Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the Criminal Department, so as to get to the bottom of it." ”

This is not the first time that Rong Guifei has mentioned the Criminal Department, and people who don't know think how fair she Rong Guifei is, and she wants to hand over the matter to the Criminal Department for arraignment, but those who know the inside story are very clear about the reason why she did this.

Just because she was the presiding judge of the Criminal Department, it is definitely much easier for her to cover the sky with one hand in the Criminal Department than to cover the sky with one hand in the harem.

"The concubine feels that there is no need for this, and her sister's play should come to an end at this moment, and the concubine really feels ridiculous after watching it for so long! The concubine only today knows that the cunning fox in the original play is three points inferior to her sister. The queen sneered, slowly straightened up, shook her sleeves and raised her voice, "Concubine...... The source of the phoenix hairpin has been found, and the prince has now detained the person and the shop!"

Concubine Rong's eyelids jumped, she felt that the queen's words had a special chance......

Sure enough, the queen glanced at her sideways, and said clearly: "It is the Rongyuan pawnshop in the west of the city!"

The shopkeeper of this Rongyuan pawnshop is the right-hand man who has been wooing the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee for Rong Guifei for a long time, and now that this Rongyuan pawnshop has been investigated, I am afraid that those dirty things will be turned over to the water, Rong Guifei couldn't help but gasp, and quickly thought of a way to save her in her mind.
