When Qi Yuan arrived at Ciren Palace, he found that it was not only the Empress Dowager Song who was there, but also the Empress Dowager Guo, the Empress and Concubine Xian. If it is said that the queen should naturally be divided, how can she also be the master of the harem, but seeing the virtuous concubine, Qi Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be ......

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." Qi Yuan bent down slightly.

"Your Majesty, sit down first." Empress Dowager Song sat on the top, and when she saw Qi Yuan, she hooked the corners of her mouth, "The mourning family has already asked about something, please come up and listen to it." ”

Qi Yuan nodded and then sat down beside Empress Dowager Guo, and the mother and son exchanged a slight look.

"Sister can say anything if she asks," Empress Dowager Guo said, she had been here for a while, but Empress Dowager Song said that she would talk about it when the emperor arrived, so everyone was waiting here, "That palace maid has summoned something." ”

Everyone else's face is fine, only Concubine Xian lowered her head, and others can't see what she looks like now.

Empress Dowager Song sneered, and then her sharp gaze fell on Concubine Xian's body: "Concubine Xian, you are guilty!" ”

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Song, everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian raised her head and her eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then she looked at Empress Dowager Guo in confusion, and then she spoke softly: "The concubine doesn't understand what the queen mother said, what is the crime of the concubine!" ”

"Queen Mother, this is ......" Qi Yuan glanced at Concubine Xian and frowned slightly.

Empress Dowager Song interrupted Qi Yuan without waiting for him to finish, and then spoke: "The emperor should listen to the palace maid first." ”

Saying that, the Empress Dowager Song asked Tao'er to bring her in, Tao'er had changed into a plain skirt on her body, and her long hair was a little messy, but it seemed that her situation was much better than that of being beaten before. It's just that when she raised her head and saw the Empress Dowager Song, her body trembled slightly......

"Slave, slave and maid, see Your Majesty's ......" Tao'er's voice was a little small, and after speaking, she knelt on the ground and lowered her head, her face slightly pale.

Qi Yuan looked at her and then spoke: "Say, who instructed you to poison the prince!" ”

Tao'er's body trembled even more when she heard Qi Yuan's question, and her slightly trembling voice was even more fearful: "Return, go back to Your Majesty, it's all, it's all ......" Saying that, she raised her head and looked at the virtuous concubine who was sitting diagonally in the direction of her, and then quickly lowered her head, "It's all the orders of the virtuous concubine!" The slave really doesn't want to, but the virtuous concubine persecuted the slave and maid, and the slave didn't dare to refuse! Please spare the life of the slave and maid! ”

Concubine Xian's face changed when she heard Tao'er's words, Tao'er was indeed a little beyond her expectations to confess her so quickly, and she controlled Tao'er's family in her hands, but she didn't expect her to care anymore, it's really ...... However, Concubine Xian can only say that the Empress Dowager Song's methods are really not to be underestimated.

Concubine Xian hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the concubine has never done such a thing, the concubine is not familiar with this palace maid, it can be said that she has not even spoken, how can she be poisoned!" I beg Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to see that the concubine has definitely not done such a thing! ”

Qi Yuan was indeed a little surprised to hear that Tao'er confessed that the person was Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian has always been very self-conscious, of course, at least in front of him. It's really hard to say whether this peach really confessed, or said nonsense, or was forced by the Empress Dowager Song to frame Concubine Xian.

"Is what you're saying true?" Empress Dowager Guo also asked Tao'er, she has always liked Concubine Xian very much, because Concubine Xian actually studied Buddhist scriptures with her, if Concubine Xian could do such a thing, it would really make her a little difficult to accept.

And the Empress Dowager Song looked coldly at the kneeling concubine, she didn't use any powerful punishment for this peach, and the peach confessed, it can be seen that she is not a useful palace maid, and the virtuous concubine is really stupid, she chose such a person to do this, which is full of loopholes. But if you talk about it, taking this opportunity to bring down a virtuous concubine is also a very good thing for the Empress Dowager Song, after all, the virtuous concubine is the person that the Empress Dowager Guo likes, and the Empress Dowager Guo likes her, but she doesn't like it.

And the most important thing is that Concubine Xian's brother is Qi Yuan's cronies, and in this case, Concubine Xian is also a big trouble for the Empress Dowager Song. So the Empress Dowager Song wanted to see if Qi Yuan could dispose of Concubine Xian.

And Tao'er heard Empress Dowager Guo's question and hurriedly kowtowed, her voice was hoarse: "The slave and maid are absolutely not lying......"

Tao'er lowered her head and no one dared to look, she didn't dare to look at Concubine Xian, her family she knew that she had harmed them, but although she had thought that she would definitely die, but here in the Empress Dowager Song, she was really worse than dead, and she had no choice......

"Do you have any proof?" Empress Dowager Guo continued to ask, she still didn't believe that this matter would have something to do with Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian had no need to do such a thing.

Tao'er shook her head, but the palace maid beside Concubine Xian handed her those medicinal powders, how could she have any evidence.

Empress Dowager Guo shook her head, this matter is indeed difficult.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of now?" Empress Dowager Song looked at Qi Yuan and asked.

Qi Yuan's brows were tightly furrowed, and his gloomy eyes made people feel cold.

He really didn't expect that this matter would be connected to Concubine Xian, he turned his head to look at Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian's eyes still looked very calm and calm, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her. If in fact Concubine Xian is really wronged, it naturally doesn't matter, but if it is really Concubine Xian's hand behind the scenes, then her appearance is too realistic, and her mind is gloomy enough.

"If Your Majesty can't do it, let's go and search the bedrooms of the concubines in the harem, so maybe we can gain something." Song Yuanyu opened his mouth and said, if Concubine Xian did it, I don't know if I can find some medicine bags or something, "The queen's words are reasonable, if Your Majesty has no objections, then let people search the palace." ”

Qi Yuan looked at Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian can agree to search the palace?" ”

Concubine Xian secretly looked at Ziyun, and nodded very calmly after seeing the other party's affirmative eyes: "The concubine naturally has no objection to this matter. ”

Since it was the queen who proposed it, and Concubine Xian, who was the party concerned, also agreed, then Qi Yuan asked Changde to take people to search the palaces of the concubines in the harem one by one to see if they could find anything.

But Qi Yuan felt that since Concubine Xian didn't look nervous at all, he was afraid that she would return in vain, but since they all agreed, he didn't care.

Changde received the order and immediately took people to search the palace one by one. (To be continued.) )
