In the Long Live Palace, the atmosphere is still tense.

The golden carved beam, the orange fire is bright, the candles placed on the beam are burned so that the eyes of the two dragons on the seat of the Son of Heaven are red, containing anger, Concubine Xi knelt on the cold black floor, crying silently. She wiped her eyes with her long sleeves embroidered with silk-wrapped frost leaves, and the tears rolled down the sleeves along the beautiful nose, and the crimson seeped deeper. Emperor...... Her sweetheart, is this really going to put her to death?

The emperor walked down from the low platform, he was no longer gentle with her, no longer kind to her, just staring at the young Concubine Xi from afar. In the face of the sins committed by the person next to him, he could not accept it in his heart and it was useless, and he had nothing to say except sadness.

"Your Majesty Mo looked at the concubine like this, and the concubine didn't want to see His Majesty's sad eyes." Concubine Xi bowed her head and spoke timidly.

"Then what do you think I should look at?"

"Concubine," Concubine Xi hesitated, "The concubine doesn't know, it's just that His Majesty looks at the concubine like that, the concubine has done something unforgivable, whether His Majesty reprimands the concubine, or the concubine is ruthless, these are all crimes that deserve it." But...... Don't look at the concubine with sorry eyes, let the concubine feel that she has trampled on her true feelings and failed her majesty. ”

"I just didn't expect you to be ruthless to a weak person, the good concubine's biological father is impartial, what does he have to do with her?"

"If the biological father of the good concubine is instructed to investigate the case, and the trivial things of the old age are dug up to catch the wind and catch the shadows, and he is given a bad name in the future, will Your Majesty still believe in your courtiers? Will you still love concubines? ”

"The concubine's father has done nothing wrong, and there is evidence in his investigation, so if you use his daughter's life as a threat, won't you become a poisonous woman?"

"The court is changeable, the concubine is just for her own family's plan, if your majesty wants to blame, blame the concubine's arrogance! The concubine's father had no idea about this matter, and begged His Majesty not to blame! Concubine Xi stepped forward and held her head high and took all the charges.

The emperor stepped forward, and a black shadow shrouded Concubine Xi's face for a moment, "Gu Concubine's matter—is it also your doing?" ”

Concubine Xi's ink pupils penetrated the slightest resentment, and she replied clearly and resolutely: "No." ”

"Blood Qin, Evil Star, Woe Palace, haven't you been involved in these prophecies and things?"

"Nope." Concubine Xi calmed, "What the concubine did was nothing but say those words to make Her Majesty disgusted with her. After hearing this, the emperor frowned, the past was vivid, Concubine Xi at that time was one of the people who were present to identify Gu Concubine as having bad luck, and her words did show that her demeanor was obviously outstanding, but other than that, there was nothing else.

"The concubine admitted that she killed people and killed her mouth, and admitted that she did it by herself to go on fire in the dormitory, Your Majesty, does the concubine still have a reason to deny the matter of Gu Concubine?" Her eyes were so determined that the emperor fell into hesitation. Then Concubine Xi's face turned gloomy, "Your Majesty will lock up the concubine, it doesn't matter if she is dead or alive." It's just that...... Please don't forget the concubine, the concubine had to do these things in order to stay by His Majesty's side. The concubine has done too many wrong things, and she is no longer worthy of being the pillow person of His Majesty. When a person is about to die, his words are also good, please believe every word of the concubine...... The concubines were all done for His Majesty, and there were more and more lies, and in the end, the concubines themselves couldn't bear it. In fact, on the day when the concubine was registered as the little lord at the birthday banquet, the concubine was pregnant, in fact, in fact, it was actually ...... Also fake. ”

Hearing the word pregnant, the candle flame swayed, as if the waist was crooked by something heavy, the emperor was speechless for a long time, and Concubine Xi began to talk to herself: "The concubine thinks about giving birth to an imperial heir for His Majesty, and now it seems that a qiē is just a fool's dream." The concubine is so unclean and sinful, and she has no virtue or share in raising an heir for the Son of Heaven, so it is okay, and from now on, the concubine will not look forward to this matter day and night. Your Majesty will punish the crime, please give the concubine a good time! ”

She bowed to each other heavily, and her determination to die was decided.

The emperor got up slowly, "Okay, good ......," he muttered.

That night, the door of the Banzai Hall was pushed open, and a thin eunuch rushed to the porch with a quick step, and he leaned over to another eunuch who had been waiting for a long time, and then the listener was taken aback, and hurried away towards the palace.

The news of the Son of Heaven soon spread in the Sixth Palace!

Jiaofang Palace.

The queen retired the hairpin ring, Qingsi hung down her waist and was dressed in plain clothes, just about to put out the candle and go to bed, Xiao Zhuozi, who passed the news, reported and asked to see her breathlessly, the queen thought about what was the big deal at this time, and Xiao Zhuozi said sadly at the door: "Niangniang...... Long live the palace, the emperor ......"

"What's wrong?" The queen thinks it's wrong, Concubine Xi's crime is a foregone conclusion, and there should be no change, unless she denies it flatly, and the Xu Mansion is also exerting pressure outside the palace, there will be some room for maneuver in this matter. But the emperor is very fast, and with the help of Shen Shuzhao and the eldest princess, Concubine Xi will not turn over no matter what.

"Your Majesty—" Xiao Zhuozi shouted in despair, "I've pardoned Concubine Xi!" ”

Pardon......

Your Majesty......

The queen sat slowly on the edge of the bed, she needed to digest the blow of this news, she was puzzled, forever. Why did the emperor pardon Concubine Xi? Didn't he think she was unforgivable? These witnesses and material evidence, but they were all ordered by him to take them personally! The Xu family outside the palace has already taken the blame, what happened inside......

Is it because of the old love?

The thought flashed through her, and soon even she denied it.

No, the emperor is by no means true to Concubine Xi!

The reasons for this are worth investigating.

The queen fell back on the soft bed, her hair spread out, and she looked at the wooden plank carved with the phoenix above her head, and felt more and more sluggish and confused. She was young, and after the rest of the year, she would be twenty. Is this the life she wants? Cheng Ri was vigilant and calculated, and when others fell off the horse, the fierce enemy was rescued by the Son of Heaven for no reason. Only now did she realize that she really didn't understand her husband, and she was tired of understanding.

Who will know her?

Who ever understood her?

The queen's eyes slowly lost their bright color.

Concubine Xian Palace.

"Bang dang!"

The piercing sound of broken porcelain was torn apart, and the ground was snow-white, shining with a dazzling cold light.

"Calm down!" The consolations of the palace ladies sounded in all directions.

Concubine Xian picked up the blue and white porcelain on the table and smashed it into the corner again, "Bang! The object slammed into the stone wall, and the debris quickly rushed towards every corner, and the palace people hurriedly retreated.

"Ahh Concubine Xian screamed and roared, she kept smashing, but she refused to stop, and all the palace people were forced to retreat by her. It wasn't until there was nothing left in the room to smash that she calmed down.

Concubine Xian stood in the center of all the sharp shards, her hair disheveled, and her face flushed. She couldn't take the news, she didn't want to! She doesn't listen! At this time, she has to be married to the outside of the palace, which is really terrifying.

What the hell is the emperor doing?

Concubine Xi has already got rid of the good concubine at her instigation, how could the emperor, who was furious after experiencing the matter of Gu Concubine, be indifferent? How could it be possible to forgive her again!

She doesn't understand!

Chengqian Palace.

"What?" Shen Zhuangzhao couldn't help but stand up and asked again with confirmation, "Is this serious?" ”

"Slave and maid, take it seriously." The palace man who reported the news said, "It was the little pigeon of the Long Live Hall who came out to tell the maid in person." ”

"Okay." Shen Zhuangzhao sat down with a headache. Concubine Xi's evidence and physical evidence are all there, why did the emperor let people go? No, she has to ask the queen tomorrow.

Xiao Mengru is the person in the palace who understands the emperor best, she must know the internal cause, and the emperor never does anything that he is not sure of.

The Xu family can't fall, and those of them who are looking forward to it will be embarrassed......

In the long run, let's wait and see for now.

After Shen Zhuangzhao thought it through rationally, he didn't think about it anymore.

Changle Palace.

With a pair of soft hands, he picked up the scissors and slowly cut off the pure and white flowers in the bottle.

Luan Niao Chaofeng has wide sleeves, dark red fingers and armor, and the cut white flowers fall to the ground, as if they have disappeared with the wind, and its fate will soon turn into dust.

The female imperial chief walked inside lightly and reported: "Niangniang, the emperor has pardoned Concubine Xi." Who knew that the Queen Mother was not angry when she heard this, but laughed out loud. Faced with this strange situation, Shen Shuzhao, who was sitting beside her dignifiedly, just looked at her calmly and smiled, and the female imperial chief was even more expressionless, because they knew that the queen mother would never really laugh. Sure enough, the Queen Mother's face sank in an instant, and she reprimanded: "What does this kid want to do, could it be that he was bewitched by Concubine Xi's beauty?" Ah Jiang, you quickly send someone to find out the situation. ”

After receiving the order, the female imperial chief went out for a while and came back, and she told the queen mother the information she had obtained, "I heard from the people in the inner hall that Concubine Xi had begged to die, but she mentioned that it was false to be pregnant, and the emperor was still very angry at the time, and then somehow forgave her." ”

"That's it......" The Queen Mother said meaningfully, Shen Shuzhao's face didn't see an extra look, and then the Queen Mother picked up the scissors that she put down when she was worried, and began to cut the flowers again, only this time, a little more happy, "He's like this, it's fine." Shu'er, where do you think the mourning family wants to cut now? Is it better to spend more on the left side and leave the right side blank, or is it better to exchange? ”

In the face of her kind inquiry, Shen Shuzhao's eyes were full of strong fear and confusion, and the emperor pardoned the heinous concubine Xi because of his old feelings, as his mother...... Shouldn't you be angry?

The Queen Mother's cousin seemed to be very happy to know that he was such a person.

"Niangniang," Shen Shuzhao broke the silence and spoke first, she didn't want to suppress this question, "The emperor has forgiven Concubine Xi, this matter may make the world think of him as a faint monarch who is carried away by beauty, Niangniang didn't come forward to stop this qiē?" ”

Click.

Another flower dropped.

"Block?" The Queen Mother sneered, "The Son of Heaven has long been in Sheng, how can the mourning family persuade him to do anything?" If it really makes sense, your aunt won't be sitting here, cutting flowers and copying Buddhist scriptures all day long, listening to the drama in the cabinet that should be ordering courtiers. ”

Shen Shuzhao was silent.

"Okay, listen well, my aunt will teach you how to survive in the harem: the sixth palace only needs to obey the Son of Heaven. At this time, people with different voices are tantamount to becoming a bird, and the mourning family is to protect many subordinates, and now they must not admonish the emperor. You'd better not pamper Gangsheng, and if you don't stand on your feet, don't try a man with strong blood to think about you. ”

"Yes." She hung her head, like an obedient little daughter-in-law.

The Queen Mother turned her head away in satisfaction.

But at the bottom of Shen Shuzhao's eyes, there was a complicated feeling.
