When everyone heard this, they knelt down to greet them: "The concubines see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Soon, Xi Ze walked in from outside, and said as he walked: "Concubine Jing, I have a good piano, and I am about to give it to you, on the way here, I happened to meet your chamberlain Xiao Tangzi, so I handed him the piano, and brought a piece to you, take a look at this piano, see if you like it or not?" Get up! Sit down and talk! ”

"Emperor Xie!" The crowd got up and sat down.

However, before Shen Luyi could reply, he heard Chun Jieyu exclaim: "It's him, he was the one who killed the concubine yesterday, and almost killed the concubine!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

Xi Ze turned his head to look at Chun Jieyu and asked in surprise, "Chun Jieyu, what did you say?" What is he? What's going on? ”

Chun Jieyu suddenly had tears in her eyes, pointed to Xiao Tangzi, and said to Xi Ze: "Your Majesty, yesterday the concubine went to the imperial garden, where no one was, and now this slave holding the qin suddenly came out, grabbed the concubine and pressed it into the water, trying to drown the concubine, fortunately the concubine was alert, pretending to be dead and deceived him, he threw the concubine into the water, fortunately the concubine can swim, so he escaped from death, please ask the emperor to be the master of the concubine!" As he spoke, he knelt down towards Xi Ze.

Xi Ze was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in disbelief, "How can there be such a thing?" Is the harem all messed up? Chun Jieyu, the slave you are talking about is Xiao Tangzi standing in the main hall? ”

Chun Jieyu replied with great certainty: "That's right, it's him!" ”

Xi Ze looked at Xiao Tangzi, then at Shen Luyi, and asked, "Concubine Jing, what's going on?" ”

Shen Luyi, who was blindfolded, didn't know how to answer at all.

At this moment, Fu Ningyan said without yin or yang: "Oh, Chun Jieyu, this palace said that this matter has nothing to do with this palace, you don't believe it, now that the matter is clear, you have also found out the murderer, he is Concubine Jing's person, it's not that this palace wants to harm you, it's Concubine Jing who wants to attack you!" ”

Shen Luyi immediately calmed down when she heard this, she turned her eyes coldly to look at Fu Ningyan, as if ice edges had condensed in her cold eyes, she said without a trace of warmth: "Xiang Shuyi, you have only been lifted from the grounding for a few days, are you starting to be restless again?" ”

Fu Ningyan suddenly laughed and trembled, and said: "Ouch, I said Concubine Jing, the concubine is very peaceful, she can't be at peace anymore, the concubine hasn't done anything, and now it's the minions under your hand who are being pointed out, and everyone is watching!" It's not about the concubines! ”

Shen Luyi didn't bother to entangle with her, she stood up, looked at Xi Ze and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has never instructed the servants to murder Chun Jieyu, and the concubine is completely unaware of this matter, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”

Before Xi Ze could speak, Fu Ningyan interjected and said, "This murderer has been caught, what else can there be any misunderstanding?" Concubine Jing doesn't want to shirk responsibility! It's not good, everybody is watching! ”

When Shen Luyi heard this, her heart suddenly filled with hatred, she didn't pay attention to Fu Ningyan, just looked at Xi Ze, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is innocent, this matter really has nothing to do with the concubine, please let the emperor know it!" ”

Xi Ze looked at the situation in front of him, judged carefully, and muttered for a while, he looked at Chun Jieyu and asked, "Chun Jieyu, do you see clearly, is the slave who harmed you the little Tang Zi in front of you?" ”

Chun Jieyu replied with great certainty: "If you go back to the emperor, it is this little Tang Zi, but the concubine can be sure that it is not Concubine Jing who wants to harm the concubine, this slave must have been bought by Xiang Shuyi, and it is Xiang Shuyi who wants to harm the concubine!" ”

When Xi Ze heard this, his eyes instantly turned to Fu Ningyan.

Fu Ningyan was very surprised when she heard this, and she was so angry that her eyebrows rose, and she said righteously: "It's really wronged!" Chun Jieyu, you said that the palace wanted to harm you, you have to have evidence, this is unfounded, you can't frame it at will! ”

Chun Jieyu looked at Fu Ningyan without showing weakness, and said coldly: "Yesterday in the Imperial Garden, you were the only one who knew my whereabouts, and others didn't know that I went to the Imperial Garden, if you didn't send someone to harm me, who else could there be?" As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Xi Ze and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine can pack the ticket, this slave must have been bought by Xiang Shuyi, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to search this minion's house, and he will definitely find clues!" ”

Xi Ze frowned at the qiē in front of him, looked at Xiao Tangzi, and asked, "Little Tangzi, I ask you, who sent you to murder the pure concubine?" You answer honestly! ”

Xiao Tangzi was already sweating on his forehead, and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the slave is just acting according to Concubine Jing's orders, and the slave is involuntarily begging the emperor to spare his life...... The emperor spared his life......"

Shen Luyi was furious when she heard this, she turned to Xiao Tangzi and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous, when did this palace give you such an order, you bold minion, you dare to frame this palace in public, you really eat the courage of an ambitious leopard!" As he spoke, he looked at Xi Ze again, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with the concubine, the concubine has no reason to harm Chun Jieyu at all, this slave is framing the concubine, please believe the concubine, please ask the emperor to order someone to search this slave's house!" ”

Seeing this, Xi Ze ordered: "Sixi, you take someone to search this little Tang Zi's house, and give me a careful search!" ”

"Yes!" Sixi received the order and quickly took people to the Green Shadow Palace.

However, Sixi found nothing in the Green Shadow Palace.

Xi Ze looked at Xiao Tangzi coldly again and asked, "Little Tangzi, I will ask you one last time, who instructed you to murder Chun Jieyu, if you dare to tell lies, it will be equivalent to bullying the king!" You give me a careful answer! ”

Xiao Tangzi lowered his head and replied: "The slave doesn't dare to tell a lie, this matter is really done by Concubine Jing's mother, the slave just obeys the order and begs the emperor to spare his life!" ”

Xi Ze was furious when he heard this, and said sharply: "You bold slave, murdering the harem concubines, and still want me to spare your life, do you think that if you don't tell the truth, I can't bear you?" Come on, drag this slave who murdered his master out and kill him with a rod! ”

When Xiao Tangzi heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and he immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life...... Emperor...... The Emperor ......"

However, he was quickly dragged out.

Xi Ze looked at Fu Ningyan and looked carefully, Fu Ningyan smiled and met Xi Ze's gaze, very calmly.

After muttering for a long time, Xi Ze said to the bottom: "Chun Jieyu, I will find out this matter, you are frightened, go back and rest early!" Stand down, all of you! Concubine Jing stays! ”

So all the concubines got up together and said, "The concubines are retired!" (To be continued.) )
