Taking advantage of the gathering of noble ladies to release an extremely important message, the faces of the guests present obviously had different expressions, and they all secretly calculated their minds in their hearts.

The singing and dancing during the banquet were still marching leisurely, and after Chu Xue talked a few words with the princesses around her, she raised her eyes and saw Qiu Yan quietly entering from the palace gate.

Qiu Yan walked to the opposite of her, nodded at her lightly through the crowd, she knew in her heart, and it didn't take long for her to withdraw from the banquet.

As soon as the protagonist left, the guests were all dispersed.

She was pacing leisurely in the Imperial Garden, and after a while, she ran into Li Jiaoyun.

Li Jiaoyun greeted her and said, "Why didn't Niangniang take the sedan chair?" ”

Fang had just drunk a few glasses of wine, and her face was still a little red at this time, and she smiled: "I drank the wine just now, and my body was a little hot, and I felt that the garden was quite cool, so let's take a walk, didn't my sister sit in a sedan chair either?" Let's go for a walk together! ”

Li Jiaoyun responded with a smile, and the two sisters paced leisurely in the garden.

In the early summer afternoon, except for the cicadas on the branches, everything is quiet, the lotus lamp in the garden stands quietly, the weeping willows support the wind, except for the palace maid who has held an umbrella, the rest of the people are following behind, the two of them talk softly all the way, and there is a lazy and leisurely summer scene all around.

Then he turned out of the imperial garden, and this leisure was abruptly broken, and he saw a team of guards passing by the palace alley, and the young men all clenched their halberds with solemn faces, which made people panic.

Seeing them, a leader came up and saluted, "Say hello to the two mothers." ”

Li Jiaoyun hurriedly asked, "Is this something wrong?" ”

The guard bowed his head and reported, "Qi Yu Niangniang, someone just discovered that an assassin had infiltrated the inner palace, and the minions were about to arrest him. ”

"Assassins?" Li Jiaoyun was taken aback and glanced at Chu Xue at a loss.

Chu Xue also solemnized and asked, "Did you hurt anyone?" ”

"No one has been found to be in distress yet, but the assassin seems to have gone in the direction of Qutai Palace." The guard answered truthfully.

"Then hurry up and arrest it, send more people, and make sure to keep Concubine Wan safe!" Chu Xue was busy commanding.

"Yes." The guards answered and hurried forward.

Seeing Li Jiaoyun's pale face, Chu Xue hurriedly comforted: "Sister, don't worry, there is only one assassin, and there are so many guards in the palace, he will never be asked to escape, and besides, he hasn't hurt anyone yet!" ”

Looking around, Yan Ling stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, the current situation is chaotic, we should not move around anymore, let's go back to the palace quickly." ”

Chu Xue nodded and said to Li Jiaoyun: "This place is closer to Yufu Palace, sister, don't leave yet, hurry up and go to my place to rest first." ”

The children had already returned to the palace with the nurse, and at this time they were the only ones on foot, no matter what, it was still important to be safe, Li Jiaoyun nodded, and followed Chu Xue to Yufu Palace first.

Not long after the group returned to Yufu Palace, they saw that Fugui had something to report. Fugui looked worried, as if something had happened, seeing him like this, Chu Xue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong?" ”

Fugui's tone was a little anxious, "Master, something went wrong about arresting the assassin...... The assassin was caught, but something big had happened, and the guards didn't dare to act rashly, and wanted to ask for your decree first. ”

Chu Xue and Li Jiaoyun glanced at each other, both of them looked surprised, Li Jiaoyun asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Don't that assassin hurt Concubine Wan? ”

"No, no, don't worry, Concubine Rong, no one was hurt. It's just, it's just ......" Fugui's face was really ugly.

"What are you selling at this time, don't say it quickly!" Chu Xue feigned anger.

"Yes." Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Fugui said directly: "Master, it turns out that the person is not an assassin, but a good friend of Concubine Wan, when the guards entered, the two were still fighting necks. ”

"What?" As soon as the words came out, Li Jiaoyun was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, only to hear Chu Xue say angrily, "Bastard, it's about the chastity of the concubine, how can this kind of talk be arranged at will?" ”

Fugui immediately knelt down and said: "Please calm your anger, how dare the slave arrange such a thing to insult Concubine Wan, it is really what a group of guards have seen with their own eyes, and the evidence is conclusive, not a slave's nonsense." ”

"The evidence is conclusive?" Li Jiaoyun had already reacted and hurriedly asked, "What other evidence is there?" ”

I saw Fugui stretch out his hand and present an inky blue sachet to the two of them, saying: "This is the sachet found from that person's clothes, according to the Qutai Palace maid's confession, this is embroidered by Concubine Wan's own hands." ”

Li Jiaoyun looked at the sachet, looked at Chu Xue, and asked anxiously: "Niangniang, what is the matter if something like this happens?" ”

Chu Xue sank her breath, frowned and regretted, and said: "Although Concubine Wan has not yet been served, she is also a concubine who has been rightfully entitled, if the emperor and the queen mother know, she will inevitably be furious." ”

"But such a big thing, sooner or later they will have to know! What do you do now? ”

Chu Xue looked at Li Jiaoyun and said thoughtfully: "Qutai Palace, if you and I go over now, I'm afraid that we will stain our eyes...... Since this is the case, let Zhou Yu go over first, this is not a trivial matter, Zhou Yu must check it well, if the evidence is really conclusive, then report to the emperor. After all, Concubine Wan's mother's family is also in a high position, and if this palace disposes of it rashly, it may be inappropriate. ”

She turned to Fugui and said, "Just do what the palace tells you, no matter what, those two people should take care of it first." ”

"Yes." Fugui retreated and hurriedly went to find Zhou Yu.

He sighed all the way, the master's arrangement was very good, Concubine Wan said that she was sick and avoided in the palace today, but Wang Xing'an was invited to a tryst, if the two of them were not tired, he dared to break into the forbidden place without permission? Therefore, they just ordered a little incense, but they didn't expect the two to really do something ugly, if Concubine Wan is really innocent, as a palace concubine, how can a foreign man enter the dormitory?

Therefore, they just pierced the window paper for the two of them, and it was Concubine Wan herself who really crossed the thunder pool. It's okay now, the innocent body is gone, and the guards who caught the assassin have taken it right, this time, it's no longer a problem that can be solved by seclusion.

deserves it, who told her to give birth to such a vicious heart to harm the master, the master was about to give birth at the time, and if something went wrong, it would be one corpse and three lives! Such a poisonous person, it is cheap for her to die once!

As soon as Fugui left, only Li Jiaoyun and Chu Xue and a few personal palace maids were left in the palace, Li Jiaoyun sighed: "It's not a dangerous assassin, it finally reassures people, but when something like this happens in Qutai Palace, the emperor will inevitably be angry." ”

Chu Xue sighed and said: "But the matter has come out, no matter how angry the emperor is, he has to solve it!" So many guards have seen it, and I don't know if I can block the mouth of Youyou? Now, it depends on what the emperor wants to do, Concubine Wan's father, after all, is Lord Zhao Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War! ”

When the name was finally pronounced, she subconsciously accentuated her tone.

Li Jiaoyun sighed: "No matter how high the official position of Concubine Wan's mother's family is, it is a big crime to defile the palace, and besides, it is ......."

The voice suddenly stopped, and Chu Xue looked at her suspiciously.

Because the palace is full of close maidservants, there is no need to be very evasive, Li Jiaoyun just lowered her voice and whispered to Chu Xue: "Besides, I heard that because of the military power, the emperor has already intended to reorganize the military department." ”

Li Jiaoyun's maiden family supervises the military power of the imperial court in Yanzhou, and it is not very strange that she can get such news, but this news shocked Chu Xue's heart.

The reorganization of the military department means that Song Chen will probably have a big reshuffle of the officials of the military department, at this time, it is also appropriate to re-examine the current main matter, maybe the case of the Yue family back then really has a chance to turn around.

Although their Chu Mansion is a Wenchen, but in addition to the crowned Taishi, his father also holds the position of the imperial history, and it is his duty to entangle Baisi, as long as Zhao Xuan has committed adultery, he will definitely be able to find out. Besides, she has followed the Xu family for so long, she doesn't believe that Zhao Xuan can really be innocent.

There is also Chai Jin, the squire of the military department that Uncle Xiaocheng said last time, is also the old department of his father, and he is also bent on overturning the case for his father, and there is also Uncle Qin Mu, you must know that today's Anxi Hou is also a force that should not be underestimated, if they can join forces to overturn the case and take revenge, it seems that it is just around the corner.

Hope gradually emerged in her heart, but she was sober-minded and did not show a strange look, but only expressed surprise, and said: "I can't help the deep lady in the affairs of the country, so I can only help the emperor share my worries in the affairs of the harem." ”

Li Jiaoyun nodded in agreement, if something like this happened, she couldn't go back to her palace to relax without her own business, so she could only stay and wait for Zhou Yu's letter with Chu Xue.

Zhou Yu did things quickly, and after personally verifying the scene of the "rape", he detained the relevant people in Qutai Palace and tortured them separately.

Concubine Wan is the master, but she is under house arrest, but Wang Xing'an and the palace people in her palace are not so lucky, they were taken to the torture room one after another, and they personally experienced the power of the inner court prison. Not long after she entered the palace, she was not powerful, and the palace people were not very loyal, and they were recruited one after another as soon as they were punished. Only the guard who was obsessed with her was still a man, and he was bent on defending her, even if the inner court supervisor tried all his methods, he never spit out half a sentence.

But even if he doesn't admit it, the human and material evidence is gathered, and the confessions of the close palace maids of Qutai Palace Concubine Wan are corroborated, and the big crime of defiling the palace is firmly buckled on her head.

Chu Xue listened to Zhou Yu's report with a calm face, and said to Li Jiaoyun, who was also not very good-looking: "Sister, the matter has come to this, the emperor must know, so I ask you to accompany me on a trip." ”

Li Jiaoyun nodded and went to the Qinzheng Hall with her.

~~

Diligent Palace.

After listening to the report of the two sisters, Song Chen, who had just withdrawn from government affairs, naturally looked very ugly.

Although he doesn't like Concubine Wan, but she is also nominally his own concubine, what man in the world can still be calm when such a thing happens in the back house? What's more, the palace people of Qutai Palace also confessed that Concubine Wan instructed Wang Xing'an to murder Chu Xue, thinking that Xue'er was still pregnant with Xuan'er and An An's two children at that time, and a slight loss would be a catastrophe of one corpse and three lives, he really couldn't bear it.

The king spoke: "Concubine Wan has had many incidents since she entered the palace, although she has been punished, she has no remorse, and she has tried in vain to murder the imperial concubine and heir, and now she is filthy and disturbed the palace, so she will be dealt with according to the palace rules and given a cane." With its kinky. Mess up, Ling Chi. His mother's upbringing was not good, and he was also responsible, and his father Zhao Xuan's position as Shangshu was abolished, demoted to Zuo Shilang, and fined for three years. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xue, Li Jiaoyun, and Zhou Yu, who was waiting for the order, all bowed their heads and said yes. Zhou Yu hurriedly retired to do something, because it was still daytime, and the sisters were inconvenient to disturb, so they retired together.

This time implicated Chu Xue in distress when she was about to give birth, Song Chen wanted to comfort her a few words, but as soon as he saw the folds piled up like a hill on the imperial case, he had to suppress the thoughts in his heart for the time being, and only waited for the evening meeting Yufu Palace to appease his beauty.

In fact, Chu Xue really didn't need any appeasement, she had known about Concubine Wan's harm to her since she was in the month, and now that she had returned the other party with chiseled evidence, she finally felt happy in her heart. For the sake of Xuan'er and An An's two children, she didn't bear it at all, after all, it wasn't her who should blame herself.

And this move cut Zhao Xuan's position as a scholar, which really suited her heart.

It's easy to move a military department, or it's easy to move a military department, the answer is too obvious, concubine defilement is a felony, and the Zhao family was not exiled, it was already the emperor's grace, even if the Xu family had grievances, there was no reason for grievances.

What you owe will be repaid.

Chu Xue's expression was calm, and she rode in her sedan chair and walked slowly in the magnificent palace. 166 Reading Network
