Sure enough, I saw Cheng Qingluan hooking her lips and smiling: "Concubine Mu may not have good eyesight, but the palace just felt that the sleeves were a little long, so she folded a small part and sewed it inside." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoCould it be that Mu Guifei ...... Can't see it? ”

She didn't think about cutting the nine-tailed phoenix cuffs at first, but dyed them with rouge to match the cuffs, and then folded them and sewed them inside.

Asking Shisu to get the scissors is just a pretense, in order to deceive the eyeliner of Muning Palace.

"You talk nonsense! It's clear that you are afraid that the nine-tailed phoenix pattern will be exposed, and you cut off part of the sleeve ......" Mu Guifei glared at Cheng Qingluan angrily and argued, but the confidence in her words was slightly insufficient, and her eyes looked at her cuffs from time to time.

"Mu Guifei is angry, whether the palace is talking nonsense, the palace maid can check it." Cheng Qingluan glanced at Mu Guifei lightly and opened her arms calmly.

Everyone looked at each other, bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

Indeed, as Concubine Ning said, the truth can be known by the palace maid after checking it.

The matter has come to this point, and the people who are quiet are afraid that they will want to cover it, Yu Wenxuan frowned imperceptibly, and waved his finger to send two henchmen and palace maids to check.

The two palace maids took the order and offended, and they didn't look at the faces of everyone around them, but only carefully looked at their sleeves.

There is a slight lack of light in the sleeve, but there are faint traces of needlework and thread on the edge of the cuffs, so people take the needle and thread, pick up a circle of stitched silk thread to check, a small section of the sleeve was really turned out, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, the two palace maids shook their heads at the same time, and replied: "Back to the emperor, as Concubine Ning said, the sleeve is only sewn up, and there is no embroidered nine-tailed phoenix pattern on it." ”

"What? No way?! Knowing the answer, Mu Guifei was anxious, looked up and peeked at Lu Mengyu, but saw that she only cared about lowering her head and drinking the wine in her hand, she was anxious, and pointed to the two palace maids who were inspecting and said, "Your Majesty, it must be those two palace maids who are lying!" The Emperor ......"

"Enough! The matter has come to light, and it is clear that you falsely accused Concubine Ning. How? Are you going to make trouble again? Yu Wenxuan shouted angrily, walked in front of Mu Guifei, and raised his hand and slapped him down, regardless of the presence of the ministers and nobles.

"Smack!" Not only did the sound resound throughout the Imperial Garden, but even the Queen Mother and others, who had been in a high position, were stunned for a moment.

Mu Guifei was beaten on her back, covered her face and prostrate on the ground, and said incoherently: "Your Majesty, concubines...... Concubine ......"

The queen followed behind Yu Wenxuan, and when she saw that Mu Guifei was beaten, she took half a step back in her heart, and did not dare to say anything to help, and secretly looked at Lu Mengyu from the corner of her eyes, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Yu Wenxuan slapped Mu Guifei and was still angry, hugged Cheng Qingluan's thin waist and softly soothed a few words, waved his big hand, and was about to order someone to drag Mu Guifei out, but the Queen Mother took the first step and said: "Wait." Emperor, today's incident may be that Mu Guifei was deceived by others, so why don't you listen to Mu Guifei's explanation first? ”

"That's right! Right! The emperor, and listen to the concubine's explanation. Mu Guifei seemed to grasp a life-saving straw at this time, and knocked her head a few times and begged.

Yu Wenxuan glanced at Mu Guifei with lowered eyes, saw her hair in a bun, and prayed humbly to herself, and a similar scene from four years ago inexplicably flashed in her mind.

That day, under the snow maple tree, Mu Junning, who was dressed in a happy dress, knelt on the ground without dignity......

Yu Wenxuan's eyes flashed with a trace of unknown emotion, his hands clenched and relaxed, and finally exhaled a turbid breath, and his face seemed to be softened: "Okay, let me hear how you explain." ”

Mu Guifei was overjoyed, and understood that this was a good time to get rid of her crimes, so she hurriedly confessed: "It's Bai Zhi, the palace maid of Muning Palace!" It was she who told Concubine Ning to her concubine before the Qianqiu banquet that she secretly wore a dress embroidered with a nine-tailed phoenix pattern, and later she was afraid of being discovered, so she cut off the cuffs embroidered with the nine-tailed phoenix pattern. Even the rag that served as evidence of the crime was given to the concubine by Bai Zhi. ”

Hearing Mu Guifei mention the name "Bai Zhi", there was a sudden movement in the flowers next to the banquet, and the guard in charge of the guard shouted, "Who is there?" As he spoke, he walked over quickly and pulled out a person dressed as a palace maid.

"The emperor forgives sins, the emperor forgives sins, and slaves and maids are ...... The slave maid is Muning Palace...... Bai Zhi ...... "The palace maid was thrown out of the flowers by the guards, and fell to the ground in a panic, and she hesitated for a long time, only saying her name.

Seeing that Bai Zhi couldn't spit out a complete sentence nervously, Yu Wenxuan's face became more and more gloomy.

At this time, Yue Tinghai knew that something was wrong, and suddenly said: "It was the slave who conspired with Bai Zhi to frame Concubine Ning. As he spoke, the eunuch knelt down in front of Qingluan and kowtowed his head heavily, "Concubine Ning, the slave and Bai Zhi were only instructed to frame the mother, begging the mother to spare her life, and the mother ...... spare her life."

Cheng Qingluan looked at Yue Tinghai who was kneeling in front of him, and asked quietly: "You said that you were instructed by someone, who was instructed by whom?" ”

"That person is in a high position, the slave doesn't dare to ......say it," Yue Tinghai said, "Don't dare to say", but the corner of his eyes drifted in the direction of the queen, and when he met the queen's gaze, his body trembled obviously, and he lowered his head again.

"A high weight? You, the slave, are you the concubine Ning who alludes to the mourning family? The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her eyes swayed on Yue Tinghai and Bai Zhi, although there was a chill on her face, her eyes were calm as usual, and there was a faint smile.

"The slave (slave) doesn't dare!"

At this time, Bai Zhi had also come back to her senses, glanced at Yue Tinghai secretly, shook her head sadly, and said, "The Queen Mother is kind, how could she do such a despicable thing. All this is just the work of slaves and maids, and I beg the emperor not to implicate others. ”

"You keep saying that you don't want to implicate others, who is this person?" Yu Wenxuan's face was already blue at this time, and his eyes were as deep as a cold pool.

Bai Zhi didn't dare to raise her head in fear, but her eyes secretly looked at the queen, and she whispered: "It's the emperor......"

Before they finished speaking, Bai Zhi and Yue Tinghai suddenly spasmed, and then fell to the ground silently, a stream of black blood slowly overflowing from the corner of their mouths.

Seeing this scene, it was clear that it was killing people, and it was in front of Yu Wenxuan, and everyone in the imperial garden was also shocked.

Xirong did not have an imperial concubine, and after the word "emperor", it is very likely that it refers to the "queen".

At this time, Lu Mengyu seemed to think of something, exclaimed, and pointed to the queen: "Could it be ...... Could it be that the person they are talking about is...... The word "...... queen was not said, but the effect was better than what was said.

Seeing Lu Mengyu's panicked appearance, and the beautiful glass-like eyes looked at the queen in horror, everyone's suspicious eyes deepened.

The queen didn't understand why this matter would implicate her, her face turned pale with shock, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back at Shangyu Wenxuan's gaze that seemed to be about to kill people, and quickly shook her head and said, "The concubine didn't!" Your Majesty, the concubine has no reason to frame Concubine Ning......"

Cheng Qingluan watched things develop to this point indifferently, and had already guessed that this matter might not be inseparable from the Queen Mother.

If she is framed for transgressing the ancestral system, then there will be no queen's business.

But if she fails, she can also blame everything on the queen, although there is no full evidence, but as long as her status in Yu Wenxuan's heart does not fall, she will be suspicious of the queen, and even abolish the queen because of this.

As long as Yu Wenxuan is abolished, the new candidate for the queen will have room for the queen mother to operate, and if she uses the external force of the family at this time, she can push her niece Lu Mengyu to the queen's throne in one fell swoop.

What a ploy!

As Cheng Qingluan expected, Yu Wenxuan glared at the queen angrily, pressing over step by step, and a murderous aura condensed around his body, suppressing the silence all around.

"Say, have you ever done anything to frame Concubine Ning?" Yu Wenxuan's tone was very calm, but those who were familiar with him knew that since their king returned from Mu Kingdom four years ago, his arrogant temperament had been much more restrained, especially after he ascended the throne, the calmer his tone was, the more angry he was.

The queen was pressed back by Yu Wenxuan's momentum, and her teeth clenched and did not speak. She had never seen him look so horrible in his rage, as if if she had said the wrong word, he would have killed her instantly.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, don't let me ask a second time." Yu Wenxuan slowly approached the queen, the hand hidden in the dragon's sleeve was ready to strike, as long as the queen responded to the matter was her doing, he immediately shot her to death.

Lu Mengyu saw that the queen was forced to retreat again and again, her eyes flashed with joy, and she inadvertently glanced at the queen mother, hiding the joy on her face, and pretending to be heartbroken and frightened.

was originally a good Qianqiu banquet, but a palace maid and eunuch suddenly died, and no one would be in the mood to continue the banquet.

But neither the emperor nor the queen mother expressed their position, and even if the ministers were unwilling, they did not dare to get up and leave the table, so they had to pretend that they didn't see anything, and continued to sit on the table, silently eating the food in front of them, but everything became tasteless after eating.

"Emperor, no matter how jealous the queen is, she will not do such a thing to frame the harem concubines. If the two of them could frame Concubine Ning before, they could frame others again, maybe the queen was also framed by them, so it would be better to postpone this matter. Seeing that things were about the same, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and persuaded gently: "After all, it's a family matter." ”

Although she said that she was helping the queen to break the siege, she used ambiguous words like "maybe", which means that in her eyes, the queen is not completely suspicious, but for the sake of face and the courtiers on her side, she just suppressed the matter first.

Besides, didn't the queen just say that there was no reason to frame Concubine Ning? Jealousy is a good reason.

Sure enough, although Yu Wenxuan's anger subsided slightly when he heard this, the gloomy color in his eyes became heavier.

"Your Majesty." Qingluan shook his head at Yu Wenxuan, this was not the time to pursue it.

Yu Wenxuan knew what she was thinking, glanced at the queen coldly, flicked the dragon robe angrily and walked past her, returned to his seat and sat down.

Under the hint of the Queen Mother, the queen also sat back beside Yu Wenxuan in fear, and the rest of the people also returned to their seats. A banquet that was originally extravagant, everyone lost their appetite, and it ended hastily.

The palace at night is not as prosperous and magnificent as the day, but looks eerie and lifeless.

Not long after the Qianqiu banquet began, Zi Su quietly left the table, and returned at this time, holding a cloak that was thicker than the one Qingluan wore when she went to the imperial garden, carefully changed it for her, and said softly: "Niangniang, the emperor has already fallen back to the heart hall, why don't we go back to Muning Palace as soon as possible?" ”

Cheng Qingluan nodded, and walked out of the imperial garden with the guidance of Shisu, and suddenly, a cool breeze blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves, and also vaguely brought up a piece of snow-blue sleeves hidden behind the palace gate.

Her eyes sank slightly, she took off a Dongzhu earring and hid it between her sleeves, and whispered, "Oops." ”

Zi Su hurriedly looked behind when he heard the sound, only to see Qingluan touching his right ear, with an anxious look.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"The palace has lost the Dongzhu earrings rewarded by the emperor, you go back to the imperial garden to find them." Cheng Qingluan pretended to be panicked, and looked behind the palace gate out of the corner of his eye.

Looking at Cheng Qingluan's very nervous appearance of the earrings, Zi Su did not doubt him, left a painted hand-held glass palace lamp, and ran back to the imperial garden to find it.

Watching Zisu's back disappear, Qingluan's eyebrows furrowed, and her figure quietly turned, and soon disappeared into the originally spacious palace road.
