Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Girl of the Flute

Xi Ze looked at this Xiao Cui carefully, saw that she lowered her eyebrows, and asked, "Xiao Cui, I ask you, did you put the poison of the medicine in this wine?" ”

When Xiaocui heard this, she immediately shouted that she was wronged: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged...... How dare a slave do such a thing? This has nothing to do with slaves! The emperor is clear, and the slave and maid are wronged......"

Seeing this, Yun Tian sneered, this is the consistent face of the people in the palace, don't cry when you don't see the coffin, Yun Tian glanced at Concubine Xiao lightly, and said to Xi Ze: "The servants in the palace are all hard-mouthed, and they may not be willing to tell the truth when they are punished, the matter has just happened, it is better to send someone to search her house, maybe you can find some clues!" ”

Xi Ze looked coldly at Xiao Cui, who was still shouting grievances, and coldly ordered: "Sixi, you immediately take someone to search this Xiao Cui's house, search carefully and carefully for me, don't let go of any corner, and bring anything suspicious if you find it." ”

"Yes!" Sixi received the order and immediately carried it out.

Yun Qian turned his eyes to look at Xiao Cui again, only to see that her face was as pale as earth, and then turned her eyes to look at Concubine Xiao, although she was still struggling to support, but it was already the end of the strong crossbow.

After a while, Sixi was back!

Sixi didn't find the medicine in the Xiaocui room, but he found a few valuable things: two hostas and a jade pendant!

Seeing this, Yi Jieyu's eyes instantly flashed with hatred, and she said sharply to Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, you are just a rough girl, I have never rewarded you with hostas and jade pendants, where did you get these valuable things?" ”

Xiao Cui hesitated for a long time, and said, "Yes...... Be...... It's the slave's own ......"

"Nonsense!" Yi Jieyu said sharply, "Where did you get so much money, you will have such a valuable thing, this is obviously given to you by others!" ”

Xi Ze looked at Concubine Xiao and asked lukewarmly, "Concubine Xiao." Did you give these things to Cui? ”

When Concubine Xiao heard this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, these things are not the concubine's!" The concubines don't recognize the same! ”

"Hmph......" Xi Ze looked at Concubine Xiao coldly and said angrily. The things I have rewarded you with are all bookkeeping, do you want me to come and turn over the books now? ”

The pear blossoms that the concubine cried instantly brought rain: "Your Majesty." These are all one-sided words of the imperial concubine, you can't just rely on these few things of unknown origin to determine that the concubine is guilty! ”

Xi Ze keenly judged the situation in front of him, and said coldly: "Concubine Xiao, if you still want to be hard-mouthed, do you want me to invite you to the Torture Division?" ”

When Concubine Xiao heard this, her body couldn't stop shaking, and she cried even more sadly! She turned her eyes to look at the Queen Mother again, pulled the hem of the Queen Mother's clothes and said, "The Queen Mother." The concubine is really wronged, the queen mother saves the concubine! The concubine was wronged......"

The Queen Mother didn't look at her, kept a calm face and didn't say a word.

Xi Ze helped Yi Jieyu up, looked at Concubine Xiao coldly, and said without a trace of warmth: "Concubine Xiao, do you still not admit your guilt?" Do you really want me to send you to the Torture Division? Then I'll send you now, someone ...... here."

Concubine Xiao was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed the hem of Xi Ze's clothes and said, "The emperor spares his life!" The concubine knew that she was wrong and begged the emperor to spare her life...... Concubines don't have hearts. It's not that I deliberately want to harm the emperor, I beg the emperor to spare the concubine, and the concubine will never dare to do it again! ”

Concubine Xiao finally confessed. Xi Ze looked at her coldly, and said hatefully: "It's really disappointing that you came up with such a deplorable method in order to compete for favor!" I treat you well on weekdays, but you are so calculating that I and Yi Jieyu, thinking that your plan has not succeeded, I have treated you lightly and degraded you to a girl, I hope you will think about it after you go back! Step aside! ”

When Concubine Xiao heard this, her face was like ashes, and she turned her head to look at the Queen Mother. Begged: "Queen Mother...... Dowager...... Concubine ......"

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, such a vicious person." You only demoted her, isn't this punishment too light? ”

When Concubine Xiao heard this, it was like five thunderbolts. The pear blossoms who cried again brought rain, kowtowed like pounding garlic, but couldn't say a word!

Xi Ze glanced at Xiao Cainu, sighed and said: "After all, I am a person who has served me, and I am usually thoughtful and diligent, even if it is a first offense, I can't bear to be harsh!" He added, "Xiao Cainu, what have you done yourself, I didn't punish you severely today, I hope you can reform your ways, if you do those vicious things again, don't blame me for not being affectionate to you!" Stand down! ”

This is to protect the flute and pick the girl, and the Queen Mother is not good at saying anything!

Xiao Cainu had no choice but to retreat with interest.

The Queen Mother saw that she had gone away and also returned to Shou'an Palace. The minions also retreated!

Only Xi Ze, Yi Jieyu and Yun Tian were left in the hall, and the atmosphere was embarrassing and weird.

Xi Ze looked at Yun Tian, as if he was in trouble, Yun Tian sighed, and said, "The concubine retires!" ”

Xi Ze suddenly felt that his whole body had become very relaxed, and said warmly: "Imperial concubine go slowly!" Four joys, send the imperial concubine back to Weiyang Palace! After saying that, he laughed dryly twice!

Yun Tian didn't see it, and left Zhenrou Palace.

When Yun Tian walked away, Xi Ze took Yi Jieyu's hand and said gently: "Concubine Ai is frightened!" It's okay, it's all over! ”

Yi Jieyu wiped the tears on her face a little, and replied in a low voice: "Today is really thanks to the imperial concubine, otherwise, the concubine will be in a big disaster!" She is so good, she has been speaking for her concubines! Last time, the concubine blamed her, not only did she tolerate the concubine's fault, but this time she also saved the concubine, she is really good! ”

Xi Ze patted Yi Jieyu's hand lightly and said: "The imperial concubine is actually very upright and kind, but her temper is a little arrogant, and she is the only concubine, so you don't think it's easy to get close, in fact, if you get acquainted with her, you know that she is actually a very good and cute person!" ”

"Cute?" Yi Jieyu was a little surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, do you say that the imperial concubine is cute?" ”

"yes, it's cute!" Xi Ze laughed and said, "Hahahahaha......"

Yun stared angrily, but he looked helpless, isn't it cute? Xi Ze likes to watch it the most, he laughs very loudly!

Yi Jieyu asked again, "That...... What does the imperial concubine like? ”

"Like what?" Xi Ze thought for a moment and replied, "She likes peach blossoms, your cooking skills are so good, if you make something delicious with peach blossoms and give it to her, she must be very happy!" ”

Yi Jieyu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Thank you for telling the emperor, the concubine knows how to thank the imperial concubine!" ”

Xi Ze laughed again and said, "You have a good temperament, it's good to talk to the imperial concubine more!" ”

Yi Jieyu hurriedly nodded: "Well, the concubine has written it down!" The imperial concubine is good, and the concubine is very willing to talk to her! Turning his head, he said, "The food is cold, and the concubine will call the next person to prepare a new one!" With that, he began to arrange dinner.
