Chapter 264: Calling the Shots

Seeing that Xia Nishang walked in smoothly, Ran Tian silently took a step back and didn't stop Xia Xing.

"Hey, what's wrong with the queen?" Xia Xing looked at Ran Tian puzzled, as if he wanted to get an answer from her mouth.

"The slave and maid can't say much, but they just know that someone has assassinated the Seven Princes behind their backs." Ran Tian frowned, and then looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no other people, and then he spoke.

As soon as Xia Xing heard this, he became silent. In such a situation, he is really not suitable to say anything.

Ran Tian didn't know how to continue, but when he saw that he didn't squeak, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them stood at the door of Ruiyu Hall relatively silently.

Xia Nishang seemed to have not been to Ruiyu Hall for a long time, and looking at the furnishings inside, she felt familiar and unfamiliar.

Before he walked in, he heard Chen Huixia's sobbing cry. The voice in the silent palace was like an aftersound, and it was good.

Xia Nishang's brows frowned slightly, it seemed that some people had already prepared. However, she was not surprised by this. can lay out such a big situation, and lead so many people to fall into it step by step, Chen Huixia is definitely not as simple as it seems, there must be some unknown secrets behind her.

"Yo, what's wrong with Hecairen? Didn't the emperor bully you? Xia Nishang's lips opened slightly, and there was a cold smile on her lips, and the coolness that seemed to be absent gradually penetrated into her eyes.

Leng Yexuan and Chen Huixia obviously didn't expect Xia Nishang to come in at this time. They all looked in the direction of the door, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

is still too tender, no matter how well she disguises herself on weekdays, when she saw Xia Nishang's figure, Chen Huixia's eyes were still uncontrollably scared.

Xia Nishang took in the expressions on their faces, and the smile on her lips became more and more profound.

"Why did the queen come in?" Leng Yexuan's face was obviously displeased, he remembered that he had already instructed Xia Xing not to let anyone in, but now Xia Nishang was standing in front of him.

"The concubines see the emperor." Xia Nishang smiled mockingly, but she didn't forget to salute Leng Yexuan. "The concubine has something important to tell the emperor, and I heard that someone in the palace didn't plan to come in. But I heard that he was here, and it just so happened that the matter of the concubine was related to the talent. No, I came uninvited, and asked the emperor not to blame Mr. Xia. ”

Xia Nisheng's words were just right, on the one hand, she said her intentions, and on the other hand, she also told Leng Yexuan that she insisted on coming in, and there was no need to blame Xia Xing.

She has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and this matter has nothing to do with Xia Xing, and Xia Nishang has no intention of implicating him.

"Oh? What does the queen have to say? Leng Yexuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes kept circling between Xia Nishang and Chen Huixia. But what happened to Ting'er? ”

Actually, Chen Huixia didn't have time to say anything, she just arrived at a cup of tea earlier than Xia Nishang. Before she could speak, Xia Nishang came in.

As soon as Chen Huixia came in, she cried and cried, as if she had been wronged, and Xia Nishang even had something to say, such a scene couldn't help but make Leng Yexuan think about it.

It's just that Leng Yexuan didn't say his words clearly, but asked Xia Nishang calmly if there was anything wrong with being the Seventh Prince. Looking at Leng Yexuan's pretentious expression, Xia Nishang felt very disgusted.

"Ting'er is all right, but thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Xia Nishang was in a bad mood, and the words she said were not so good. However, I don't know if it's because Leng Yexuan can understand Xia Nisheng's mood, even if she speaks like this, she is still not annoyed. "Yesterday, there was a palace maid in Qifeng Palace who was about to run out, and after Ran Tian sent someone to catch her, she confessed some things. It is related to Ting'er and Hecairen, and the concubines don't dare to call the shots alone, so they came to discuss with the emperor. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Leng Yexuan listened to Xia Nisheng's words, and this was the one who looked at her with a straight face. originally thought that Xia Nishang was just coming to find Chen Huixia's stubble, but now it seems that this is not the case, and he is a little more concerned.

"If you go back to the emperor, that palace maid has already killed herself by biting her tongue, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send a servant to conduct an autopsy." Xia Nishang likes to explain everything clearly in advance, so as not to be bitten back when she gets it, saying that it is not good for her to falsify evidence and frame Chen Huixia. However, she wrote down many things, and now these evidences have also been brought by the concubines. There is another thing, the concubine thought, the emperor must be very interested. ”

Xia Nishang smiled and looked at Leng Yexuan's face quietly, but she was silent, as if waiting for his question.

"What's the matter?" After waiting for a long time, Xia Nishang didn't speak, Leng Yexuan looked at her calm appearance, couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and spoke.

"This palace maid, it was when the concubine gave birth that she tried to use Shang Lu as ginseng and harm the concubine's mother and son Chu Yao's sister, Chu Jue!"

As soon as Xia Nisheng's words fell, she saw that Leng Yexuan's face changed suddenly. At the beginning of Chu Yao's matter, Leng Yexuan said that he would give Xia Nishang an explanation. But no matter whether Chu Yao was killed inexplicably in the end, or what happened afterward, Leng Yexuan was silent about this matter, as if he had forgotten his promise to Xia Nishang.

And now, after mentioning it through Xia Nishang's mouth, Leng Yexuan is also quite embarrassed. Chen Huixia, who was on the side, silently regretted that she didn't say it earlier, and now that Xia Nishang got the evidence, no matter what she wanted to say, she might be misunderstood by Leng Yexuan as hypocritical.

Just as she was thinking about how to explain next, Xia Nishang had already slowly walked in front of Leng Yexuan. The gorgeous palace skirt was dragged on the ground, reflecting bursts of brilliance.

"Your Majesty, this is what Chu Jue explained, it was found by the concubine in her house, please take a look at it." Xia Nishang placed the red lacquered wooden box in front of Leng Yexuan and asked him to open it by himself.

Just before Xia Nishang came in, he took the paper from Dye Tian's hand and put it back in the box as it was, waiting for Leng Yexuan's inspection.

Leng Yexuan glanced at Xia Nishang deeply, and this was the slender hand that stretched out to the box that was gently buckled.

Leng Yexuan took out the paper inside, slowly opened it, and looked at it carefully. The more he looked down, the worse his face became, and soon it turned blue-purple.

"Smack!" Leng Yexuan slapped the paper full of incriminating evidence on the table fiercely, and the rosewood desk trembled slightly because it couldn't stand it. "Hecairen, you came to me today, and you cried when you came up, because you knew that the matter was exposed, right?"

Leng Yexuan's face was very bad, as if he had been deceived. With a look of disbelief on his face, he stared closely at Chen Huixia who was kneeling on the ground, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Although Chen Huixia lowered her head, she had been silently observing the movement above, and when she heard the sound of Leng Yexuan slapping the table, she secretly screamed in her heart.

However, Rao is like this, Chen Huixia still has a calm expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is indeed here for this matter." Chen Huixia raised her head suddenly, but she looked at Leng Yexuan with a firm and innocent face. If Xia Nishang hadn't known in advance how deep her scheming was, I was afraid that she would have been confused.

"You're sincere." Leng Yexuan laughed angrily, looking at Chen Huixia's eyes with deep disappointment. "Well, then, just talk about it, and say everything you were going to say."

Leng Yexuan really wanted to know how much ability this Chen Huixia had and how much she could manipulate so many things behind her back. Perhaps, he still doesn't believe it in his heart.

In his opinion, Chen Huixia is a weak and simple woman on weekdays, although Leng Yexuan, who has lived in the palace since childhood, will not fully believe that she is a simple person, but he never thought that she would be capable of doing so many things.

Xia Nishang looked at Leng Yexuan's face, and then looked at Chen Huixia, who was kneeling on the ground, as if she was really repenting, and knew that Leng Yexuan was soft-hearted. A mocking smile couldn't help but rise on her lips.

"Your Majesty, perhaps, there is something unspeakable about Hecairen. It's just that Ting'er, who suffered from the concubine, is still in dire straits, and she doesn't know when she will lose her life. Ting'er is less than a year old, and every time the concubine sees him, her heart aches. Xia Nishang said as she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She hadn't looked at Leng Yexuan with such grievances for a long time, and his heart was also soft when she saw it.

Although Xia Nishang seems to be exculpating Chen Huixia on the surface, she is actually saying that she is ruthless, and she refuses to let go of a child who is not yet one year old. Such ruthlessness does not leave her a little way out.

I don't know if Xia Nisheng's words played a role, the little softness in Leng Yexuan's eyes disappeared, and on the contrary, he looked at Chen Huixia angrily.

Chen Huixia saw the changes in Leng Yexuan's expression. Knowing that Xia Nishang had put her together, she couldn't help but resented her even more, but she couldn't open her mouth to defend herself, so she could only start sobbing and telling the reason for the matter.
