Concubine Hui has been in charge of the harem for many years, and the Queen Mother, as the mother of the king, naturally wants to help Changyan, I heard that Concubine Hui was announced by the king into the imperial study to ask for guilt, and immediately went to listen to it, Li Shuci personally sent the Queen Mother out, looking at the back of the Queen Mother in a hurry, she couldn't help but wonder whether the Queen Mother was going to help Concubine Hui speak, or to watch a lively scene.

Mu Yun muttered on the side: "The fearless battles of the women in the harem may not be because of how much they cherish the king, or how much hatred they have, everything is due to being too lonely and boring, right?" Qingge and Li Shuci glanced at her speechlessly, and Mu Yun laughed as he said it.

"Girl, have all the arrangements made for the five princes?"

"Well, presumably the fifth prince will obediently confess his guilt. ”

The servants returned to the Heyi Hall without mentioning it, this Concubine Hui entered the imperial study, looked around, and her face suddenly turned into a strange look that combined with flushing and paleness, she stood in front of Emperor Xuwen upright and respectfully, and wanted to salute as usual: "Your Majesty." She broke the corner of her forehead and couldn't see Emperor Xuwen, and when she met Emperor Xuwen at this time, she suddenly felt like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Quan Heng shouted outside, the Queen Mother had already entered the imperial study, and Emperor Xuwen hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Queen Mother, why are you here!"

"I heard that Concubine Hui seems to have something, after all, she has been the assistant harem of the mourning family for many years, and the fifth child is often filial piety in front of the mourning family, and the mourning family still remembers it in their hearts, is it good or bad, how can the mourning family not come and take a look?" Emperor Xuwen helped her sit down, knowing the queen mother's temperament, and didn't say much. Although the Queen Mother is a kind and muddy character, she still knows it very well in her heart, and she always knows that she can control the mud of the harem.

Emperor Xuwen's face sank like water, and irrelevant people had already retreated, and the voice in the imperial study was under An Yuanhou father and son, Lin's family, Concubine Hui, Liang Youxian, and Emperor Xuwen and Zhu Daguan.

Lin stood in the center of everyone at this time, his eyes slowly swept over the other people's bodies, and he said: "The courtier's family has suffered a great disaster, but it is not just as simple as walking through the water, this is someone deliberately murdered, and wants the lives of the entire Lin family, at least the courtiers and their father and brother have been firmly targeted, and they may be killed at any time." ”

Emperor Xuwen looked surprised, and asked inexplicably: "Fang Cai An Yuanhou has been saying that Liang Youxian instructed Liang Yun to burn the Lin Mansion, but you are referring to him?"

Lin did not answer directly, but said: "It's a long story at this time, and I ask the king to listen to the courtiers from the beginning." ”

Emperor Xuwen's gaze fell on Concubine Hui for a moment, and motioned for the Lin family to continue.

"This matter has to start from three months ago, the courtiers went to the Dabaoci Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to make a vow, and on the way back to the city, she rescued a woman who had suffered multiple knife wounds, the woman had fainted in the dry grass on the side of the road, and had lost too much blood. When the courtiers saw that she was still young but misfortuned, she took pity on her fate and took her back to the palace for treatment. However, the courtiers didn't know that this rescue had caused a monstrous disaster to the Lin family!"

An Yuanhou father and son sighed, obviously very regretful, not wanting to be involved in this trouble, Lin continued: "The courtier ordered someone to take good care of this woman for more than a month, and she gradually turned around, although there were many scars on her body, but her life was saved. But the courtiers never thought that after this woman knew that she was in Anyuan Houfu, she opened her mouth and asked: "The benefactor may meet Concubine Hui Niangniang?"

Concubine Hui looked stunned and puzzled, and turned her gaze sharply to her, Emperor Xuwen's face could not see joy and anger, and said, "You go on." ”

Lin's voice was much calmer and calmer than before: "The courtiers were also very surprised when they heard this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and it was related to Concubine Hui's mother, so she inquired in detail, and the woman said that her name was Wang Xuling......"

Concubine Hui was taken aback, and turned her gaze to Emperor Xuwen, "How is this possible? Wang Meiren has been successfully entering the palace for many months, and she has been doing her best by your side, and her body has improved greatly, where is another Wang Xuling? Lin, you have nothing to do, but why? Is it that you are deliberately looking for trouble in the palace?"

"Hmph!" Emperor Xuwen snorted coldly, and Concubine Hui thought that Wang Meiren was still being interrogated and interrogated in the Criminal Division because of her relationship with the five princes, and it was too ironic to say that she was doing her best. He paused on the spot at the moment, not daring to accuse the Lin family at will.

Since the courtiers saved the woman and knew that she might be related to Concubine Hui, she naturally didn't dare to be contemptuous, so she asked in detail about her life experience. This woman, who called herself 'Wang Xuling', said that she was born in the Liujunmen, and was summoned by Concubine Hui Niangniang and instructed by the master to go to Shangjing, enter the palace to meet the king, and diagnose and treat his illness. Unexpectedly, she was robbed near the outskirts of Beijing, and those people robbed her of the secret medicine and some prescriptions she had brought with her. Then he will put her to death. She studied medicine since she was a child, and she was not skilled in martial arts, so she was soon seriously injured. When she was desperate, she jumped into the moat, and it was inconvenient for those people to search and suppress, so she escaped the pursuit by luck. ”

When Concubine Hui heard this, her face showed a trace of nervousness, after the fifth prince was imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division, she tried her best but failed to see him in person, so she naturally didn't know if he and Wang Meiren really did such a thing. And after Wang Meiren entered the palace, she did not have too much closeness to her, but she always thought that Wang Meiren, like other concubines, was competing with her for favor, and she didn't think much about other places at all. Could it be that this Wang Meiren is really fake? If it is fake, doesn't it even more show that someone is deliberately framing her?

"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know what the Lin family said, if what she said is true, it will show that this fake Wang Meiren has bad intentions, made a mistake, and deliberately framed the fifth child, the fifth person is wronged, please check it. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hui with a solemn face: "Concubine Hui, what you said is not right, if the harem concubines are all as sloppy as you, and you don't know about it when something happens, then isn't it a joke that the king's safety is in danger? People were introduced by you, whether it is true or false is caused by your negligence, you shirk the responsibility so lightly, where is the mourning family? I trust you so much, and you are so contemptuous! Not only did you almost hurt the king, but also hurt the fifth child!"

Concubine Hui was speechless, and when Lin saw that she looked unaware, she said hatefully: "Why does Niangniang have to behave like this, does this matter have nothing to do with Niangniang's truth? If it is not related, Concubine Hui Niangniang knows that Wang Meiren does not match the portrait sent by the Liujunmen in advance, why has she not told the monarch and still tried to hide it?"

Emperor Xuwen frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Concubine Hui turned to face the Lin family: "What nonsense are you talking about?

"Then Concubine Hui Niangniang has not even seen a portrait, how can she determine that Wang Meiren who entered the palace is Niangniang's nephew?"

Concubine Hui's face froze, when Wang Meiren entered the palace to meet her, she knew the situation of Liujunmen well, and she spoke smoothly, and there was no mistake or omission, Liujunmen has always been cautious in doing things, she subconsciously thought that it was a person sent by Liujunmen, and she would not make a mistake at all.

Concubine Hui pondered for a while, and Lin continued: "As the Queen Mother said, after all, Wang Xuling is going to serve by the king's side, and it is impossible for the Six Monarchs to not confirm with Concubine Hui in advance for such a major matter. Concubine Hui Niangniang and Ben have never seen this young little nephew, of course the Liujunmen will send a portrait in advance for Niangniang to distinguish, but Niangniang hid this portrait and secretly let another person replace Miss Wang, can't it be said that it was Niangniang who did the assassination?"

"You talk nonsense!"

The Lin family didn't distinguish between her, and directly turned his gaze to Emperor Xuwen, "Whether it's true or not, please ask someone to search the palace of Concubine Hui, and you can find out." ”

Emperor Xuwen didn't want to listen to what they said, he didn't have a beginning or an end, "Call someone to search!" Zhu Daguan immediately sent Quan Heng, who was waiting outside the door, to Bixiao Palace to search.

Quan Heng's movements have always been swift, but when he had a stick of incense, he came in and replied, and presented a piece of rice paper folded into a square with both hands: "This was found under the couch of Concubine Hui." ”

Concubine Hui panicked, stepped forward and snatched it, opened it and took a closer look, although the woman on the portrait was also very beautiful, she was at least five or six years older than Wang Meiren in the twenty-ninth year, and at that time she also felt that the person sent by Liujunmen was too young, not mature and stable enough, and could not be her arm. But she thought that Liujunmen felt that she was old and wanted to send a newcomer to win the favor of Emperor Xuwen, and she was a little uncomfortable at the moment, but the person had already arrived, if she said that the person sent by the master was not good, it would inevitably make people think that she was a villain and offended the master, so she endured it and did not ask.

And Wang Meiren is indeed as she imagined, and she is extremely fond of it, so she is even more reluctant to discuss this matter with her teacher too much. "Your Majesty, the concubine has never seen this portrait at all, if the concubine wants to hide it, why don't you burn this portrait?

Emperor Xuwen took the portrait from her hand, glanced at it and handed it to Lin: "Is the woman you saved the person in the portrait?"

"It's this person. Lin nodded and looked at Concubine Hui, "Since this portrait is in Niangniang's palace, even if Niangniang says that she has not seen it, who will believe it?

Concubine Hui suddenly remembered the scene when the Lin family entered the palace that day, and suddenly thought of where this portrait came from, "It's you!

Lin sneered: "Niangniang don't want to see anyone to take a bite, if you didn't forcibly detain Zhu Hanying, how could the courtiers offend the Nanyang County Palace, and how could they come to ask for someone with Concubine Hui?"

Emperor Xuwen interrupted their verbal war in a deep voice, and said angrily: "What's going on?!"
