Inside is still eating quietly, outside is still heavily guarded, at first the virtuous concubine Gongsun can still stand steadily, but after a long time, she seems to be slightly anxious, although she still looks calm and dignified, but the steps she takes from time to time reveal her nervous feelings at the moment.

After a while, Huan Yue came back with the ingots, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Concubine Xian waiting at the gate of the palace, and he looked surprised: Why is Concubine Xian still waiting here, is there something going on inside?

Although Huan Yue was anxious, she still said politely to Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian." ”

Yuan Bao also followed and asked: "See Concubine Xian Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment when she saw that it was the fourth prince Huanyue, and then squeezed out a smile and said: "Ao turned out to be the fourth prince Huanyue, why are you here?" ”

Huan Yue said: "I'm already here, and Gongxue is still in class today." ”

Concubine Xian was embarrassed for a moment and said: "Ouch, I forgot, I forgot, but didn't it mean that there was an accident in the palace, I heard that the imperial doctors have rushed over, what the hell, are you okay?" Concubine Xian pretended to be very concerned.

Huan Yue knew what had happened, and naturally knew that there were some things that could be said and some things that could not be said, so Huan Yue said politely: "Ao, something happened, but some classmates had a bad stomach, and the doctor came over, I'm fine." ”

"Is that strict?" Concubine Xian asked again.

"Yan zhòng can't say it, I just sent them out of the palace, and I came back, by the way, won't Concubine Xian go in?" Huan Yue asked.

"This ......" Concubine Xian said with some embarrassment: "The emperor is still eating, I have to wait for a while." ”

"Meals?" Huan Yue said angrily.

Just as he was about to say something more, Gonggong Xue came out again and said, "Fourth prince, you are back, and the emperor announced that you will come in and have dinner together." ”

Huan Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded at Gonggong Xue, and then said politely to Gongsun Clan: "That Xian Mother, my father summoned me, then I will go in first." ”

After that, Huan Yue entered the hall with the ingots, and looked. Everyone was really eating, and Huan Yue was puzzled: "Father, mother, and concubine are still outside." ”

Qi You said slightly: "I know. I told her to wait, you hurry over and eat. ”

Xibao also said: "You have also been busy for a day, and the food on the small table here is for you and Yuanbao, hurry up and eat some first." ”

Huan Yue and Yuan Bao glanced at each other, and then they both looked at Xi Bao in surprise. was very puzzled, but Xibao smiled and said: "The matter at this end has also been dealt with, and you can go to Huayang Palace with Yuanbao when you run out of food." ”

"The concubine wants us to go back?" Before Huan Yue sat down, she got up again in surprise and said.

"Yes, there's nothing to do with you here, it's been a whole day, you and Yuanbao are also tired, just go back, and leave the rest to your father and Uncle Wuwang." Xibao sat down according to Huan Yue and said.

"But......" Huan Yue seemed to know what was going to happen next.

"But what, there are some things that you can't solve while you're present, so you can finish them quickly. Go back, and when this matter is completely resolved, the mother will explain to you again, obedient, ah. Xibao said gently.

Although Huan Yue really wanted to hear what would happen next, since his father and mother were not very willing, he couldn't afford to stay, so he could only bow his head and pull the food in the bowl with Yuanbao and eat it.

And the virtuous concubine outside was still thinking about something. seems to be still reminiscing about the words of Huanyue just now, to be honest, the Royal Forest Army suddenly came before, and without saying a word, she directly wanted to take away the palace maid Xiang'er beside her. She was really startled, firstly, the Imperial Forest Army has always guarded the outer palace, and it is inconvenient for them to enter and exit at will in the depths of this harem, so breaking in so directly really shocked Concubine Xian, and secondly. They couldn't help but say that they took Xiang'er out, Concubine Xian was shocked when she thought about Gongxue's matter, she had to be afraid that Xiang'er would be exposed, but when she arrived at Gongxue for almost half an hour, she had been hanging outside, nothing was clear, she was still eating slowly, and Xiang'er was nowhere to be seen.

Concubine Xian has always been smart, this kung fu should also be a guess, although she doesn't know what happened inside, or what she knows inside, can ask her to come and talk back, indicating that the emperor has noticed her, and Concubine Xian is thinking about how to deal with it at the moment.

Finally, when Concubine Xian was about to hold on, Gonggong Xue inside came out with a smile and said, "Concubine Xian, please come inside." ”

Concubine Xian waited for about an hour, it was already dark, she moved her legs and feet that were already sore, and then sorted out her clothes and followed Gonggong Xue into the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, Concubine Xian was a little stunned, what kind of posture is this, the emperor and concubine are sitting together, next to the five princes Qi Zhe, and there are several people waiting beside her, this posture is about to be tried.

Concubine Xian quickly looked around, and then knelt down respectfully and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor and the concubine." ”

As soon as Concubine Xian knelt down, Qi You sneered slightly: "Concubine Xian has been waiting for a long time. ”

Concubine Xian was stunned and said, "The concubine doesn't dare to disturb the emperor's meal." The words are very sincere, meaning that the concubine is willing.

Qi You said, "Concubine Xian's patience is really excellent. Qi You had something to say.

Concubine Xian smiled slightly: "The concubine has been quiet for many years, and her temperament is a little slower, but she is used to it." ”

"You really like to be quiet, so happy that I misunderstood." Qi You's words became more and more strange.

"What did the emperor misunderstand about his concubine?" Concubine Xian is still talking respectfully.

"Over the years, you have been silent and low-key because of your peace of mind, and even I think you are a kind-hearted person, but I didn't expect you to have such a scheming city." Qi You said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you said that the concubines have scheming and the city, but the concubines do not deny it, if there is no scheming in this harem, how can they survive safely, the concubines' scheming and the city government are just to protect themselves and the emperor, if the emperor is angry with the concubines because of this matter, the concubines naturally have nothing to say." Concubine Xian kowtowed word by word.

"Really?" Qi You sneered: "Is it necessary to protect oneself at the cost of their life and death?" Qi You directly pierced Concubine Xian's steady disguise.

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "What the emperor is talking about, the concubine doesn't understand." ”

"The Fifth Prince, Qi Huan, is ******** devouring the soul in his body, isn't this your idea, do you want me to say it in more detail?" Qi You said impatiently.

"What? The five princes are highly poisonous? This...... The concubines really don't know, how can this be the matter of the concubines, Your Majesty, please be aware of it! Concubine Xian immediately kowtowed.

If it hadn't been for the interrogation of Xiang'er beside Concubine Xian in advance, to be honest, Concubine Xian's innocent appearance would really make everyone believe a little.

Qi You always sneered: "If I don't know how to announce you coming!" ”

"Your Majesty, the five princes are poisoned, and the concubines are also in pain, but the emperor's words, the concubines really don't understand, the concubines and the five princes have no grudges, and he is still a child, how can the concubines go down." Concubine Xian was very aggrieved.

"You have no grudge against the fifth prince, but you have a grudge against Concubine De, right?" Qi You snorted.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian suddenly raised her head and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines do not deny that in the early years, the concubines were a little estranged from Concubine De's sister, but that was more than 20 years ago, and now the concubines have become grandmothers, can the concubines hold grudges again." Concubine Xian replied with a heartfelt voice.

To tell the truth, Concubine Xian's life has been much more prosperous than Concubine De's in recent years, her son is Qi You's eldest son, and her status in the court is increasing day by day, and she has two grandsons under her knees recently, she is much better than most of the concubines in the palace, she really doesn't need to gamble on the happy days of her second half of her life for the so-called estrangement many years ago, this is really unreasonable.

But her maidservant Xiang'er didn't lie, after all, Su Wen's role in the silver needle was there, if she really lied, then Xiang'er would have died a long time ago, but she just had some blood at the beginning, and then there was no hindrance, but this matter is really strange, unless there were some other things between Concubine Xian and Concubine De that Xiang'er did not know, and it was this incident that made Concubine Xian always hold a grudge, so she resorted to such a method.

Thinking of this, Qi You frowned and said, "Concubine Xian, if there is no conclusive evidence, there is no need for me to announce that you are here, you can take a look for yourself!" ”

After that, Qi You threw a roll of brocade cloth in front of Concubine Xian and said, "This is the confession of the palace maid Xiang'er next to you, take a look for yourself." ”

Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, then picked up the confession from the ground and looked at it seriously, and after a while, she looked aggrieved and disbelieving: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't have it, the concubine really doesn't know anything about this matter, Xiang'er is the personal maid of the concubine, but what she wants to do, the concubine can't fully know, and ask the emperor to see it!" ”

Hey, these serious witnesses all point out Concubine Xian's crimes, but Concubine Xian was stunned and still had the courage and scheming to refuse to admit it, not only did she not admit it, but she also complained here, which made Qi You Qi Zhe have a headache.

Qi Zhe said helplessly: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about with her, asking Doctor Su to get another shot, it's really nonsense!" ”

Qi You glanced at Qi Zhe, and then said, "Concubine Xian, I'm giving you one last chance, do you want to say it?" ”

"Your Majesty, what the concubine hasn't done, what do you call the concubine to say! It's really unclear about the poisoning of the concubines! Concubine Xian still insisted that she was wronged.

Qi Zhe's violent temper came up and said, "Brother Huang! ”

"What are you anxious about, do it for me!" It's not that Qi You doesn't agree with the use of needles, it's just that the woman in front of him is also the woman he once favored, and now she is also the mother of the eldest prince, he really doesn't want to appear on her body in such a miserable way, it's not that he's reluctant, it's just that he doesn't want to.

Now Qi You is embarrassed, but Su Wen is watching the show from the sidelines, and the silver snake and the white ape are also helpless.

Xibao seemed to see Qi You's embarrassment, so he quietly beckoned Xue Gonggong and whispered a few words to him, Xue Gonggong was stunned at first when he heard this, then nodded with a smile, and then trotted towards the side hall.

Qi You didn't pay attention, but Su Wen looked at it, and was thinking in his heart: What strange attention did this little concubine come out of again, and her eyebrows were full of pride.

Just as they were asking and conjecture, and Qi You and Qi Zhe were restless about this matter, they only heard a terrible roar shouting at the door of the side hall: "Gongsun clan, you slut, I will kill you!" (To be continued.) )
