"Your Majesty, you are here," seeing that Emperor Yang Zhong finally appeared, the queen pretended to be distressed and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the concubine doesn't want to disturb you late at night, it's just that this is a matter of the face of the royal family, Xiao Guifei She hid from you and cheated with the courtiers, and she was pregnant with an unknown evil seed, please Your Majesty must not leave such people in the harem!" ”

"Enough!" Emperor Yang Zhong pushed down the candlestick beside him, so frightened that everyone didn't dare to come out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He walked to the side of the bed with heavy steps, looked at the concubine with a dead face and asked, "You told me, when did you get pregnant?" ”

“…… This child is not yours, Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Jinyuan closed her eyes in despair, it was useless to lie now. When she was pregnant, it was the time when she was snubbed by Emperor Yang Zhong, and now the imperial doctor said that the fetus has been more than two months old, and this child cannot be the man in front of her no matter what.

"Okay, very good," Emperor Yang Zhong trembled with anger, and asked with a pale face: "I ask you again, is it you who is the person who corresponded with Xue Qingshan?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Jinyuan thought that she was going to die eventually, so she simply told all the things: "The person the concubine loves in her heart is him, and the father of the child is also him, please give your majesty the concubine a death, so that our family of three can reunite under Huangquan Road!" ”

"Shut up!!"

Emperor Yang Zhong roared and drew the saber of the guards on the side and pointed it at her, the blade flashed with a cold light, and he could know her life at any time.

"The concubine knows that she is guilty of a great sin, and she is willing to apologize with a death, and I hope that Your Majesty will spare those innocent people."

Xiao Jinyuan slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the sharp sword to pierce her chest at any time.

"Bang-"

At this time, Emperor Yang Zhong threw the sword in his hand to the ground, and he ordered the guards in the palace with a cold face: "Come on, escort this slut into the cold palace, no one is allowed to approach without my order." ”

"Your Majesty, this slut has made such a big mistake, do you still want to spare her life?" The queen suddenly stepped forward in a hurry.

"It's none of your business here, it's not too early, the queen should go back to her palace as soon as possible to rest." Emperor Yang Zhong rudely pushed her away and walked forward alone.

"Queen Mother, are you alright?"

The two palace maids hurriedly supported the queen, but she pushed them away. She looked at Xiao Jinyuan coldly and said: "Although Your Majesty did not take your life on the spot, he will not let you have a good life in the future, and your good sister and lover, I believe that they will not have much time to live in this world." Wait and see for Hongu! ”

After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves and left, leaving Xiao Jinyuan alone and uneasy.

She thought that the matter would be over as soon as she died, but she didn't expect Emperor Yang Zhong to hate her so much, and he wanted to keep her in the cold palace to be tortured slowly. If Jingjing and An Wangye were accused of their crimes, then she would never forgive herself.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Jingjing woke up from a nightmare early in the morning. She dreamed that Xiao Jinyuan was crying to herself in the cold palace, and a dead baby was placed beside her.

"Princess, are you awake?" At this time, the painter walked in from outside, put away the curtain and said, "The slave didn't know that you woke up so quickly, and the hot water was not ready, why don't you lie down for a while?" ”

"I had a nightmare and woke up."

Cheng Jingjing sat on the bed in a daze, as if she hadn't recovered from the nightmare. At this time, the painter noticed her strange appearance, and asked worriedly: "But the bed was too cold last night, which made you sleep uncomfortable?" ”

"No," Cheng Jingjing said in a trance: "I dreamed that Concubine Xiao had an accident in the palace, and I don't know why I had this kind of dream, it's really unlucky." ”

"It's just a dream, the princess doesn't have to take it seriously."

He smiled and dressed her, and helped her sit in front of the mirror to comb her hair. Looking at herself in the mirror full of panic, Cheng Jingjing kept scolding herself in her heart for worrying about the New Year.

"On the side of the painting, is Princess Cheng awake?" At this moment, the voice of a maid sounded outside the door.

He asked, "What's the matter with looking for our princess early in the morning, I haven't eaten breakfast yet?" ”

"There's an urgent letter from the palace here," said the maid outside the door, "from a man named Aunt Qinfang." ”

"What?!" Cheng Jingjing was taken aback, and hurriedly instructed the painting: "Hurry up and bring the letter, I'm afraid something is going to happen to San'er." ”

He didn't dare to slack off, so he went out and got the letter back. Cheng Jingjing shuddered and opened the letter, and when she finished reading the words in the letter, the letter paper slipped silently from her hand.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Seeing her pale face, she also became nervous.

"Concubine Xiao, I'm afraid I'm going to be condemned to death."

Cheng Jingjing stood up coldly, not knowing why things had become like this. Obviously, she acted in a play and concealed it from the emperor and queen, why did the queen know about Xiao Jinyuan's pregnancy? Only she and Xiao Jinyuan knew about this matter, and Xue Qingshan would not be stupid enough to tell this matter, who told the queen this secret?

She thought about it and couldn't figure it out, could there be an insider in this series of things that she didn't find out?

"Princess, princess."

Just as Cheng Jingjing was caught in her own thoughts, the painting called her back.

"There is a father-in-law from the palace outside the door, saying that the emperor summoned you and asked you to enter the palace with him."

"Yes, I see."

What should come will always come, Cheng Jingjing raised her heavy steps and walked out, and when she was about to step out of the door, she turned her head to the painting and said: "Tell the prince about my entry into the palace, and tell him that the matter is exposed." ”

"The slave knows."

I didn't know what was going on, but seeing Cheng Jingjing's heavy face, I didn't dare to slack off for a moment and ran to report to Prince An.

When Cheng Jingjing came to the palace, she found that only the queen was waiting for her. Except for the guards standing on both sides with serious expressions, there was no one else in sight of Emperor Yang Zhong.

"Someone," Before she could react, the queen ordered the guards on the side: "Arrest this person who dares to deceive the emperor and put him in the prison with that Xue Qingshan!" ”

Cheng Jingjing knew that she was at a loss, so she stood in place without saying a word and let the guards who rushed up escort her. At this time, she knew that everything she said was wrong, so she might as well wait for Prince An to intercede for herself.

Just as she was escorted out by the guards, a palace maid rushed in. I saw her kneeling on the ground and reporting to the queen: "Queen Mother, that Xiao Guifei hanged herself in the cold palace today!" When the slave found her, her body was cold! ”

"What did you say?!" The queen suddenly got up from her seat, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

At this time, Cheng Jingjing's mind was blank, she stood there with cold hands and feet, no matter how the guards pushed her, she didn't move.

The palace maid just said that San'er hanged herself?

A voice in her heart was desperately telling her that it wasn't true, but two lines of tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes.

"No !!"

With a terrible wail, Cheng Jingjing pushed the guards who trapped her out.
