Chapter 145: Small Punishment and Great Commandment

At this time, the cuttlefish was staying in the cell in frustration, time passed little by little, and no one came to save her for a long time, she couldn't help but lose hope, I was afraid that she would really be planted in the hands of Concubine Xi this time.

Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps, the sound was rapid and chaotic, and it seemed that a lot of people had come over.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the cuttlefish's heart can't help jumping, what are these people here for? Isn't it true that the two jailers just said that they came to ask for her life?

The cuttlefish tightened the clothes on her body, her eyelashes kept blinking, she was only in her early twenties, she didn't want to end the rest of her life so hastily, she still had a lot to say, there were still many things to do, and familiar faces flashed in her mind, all of which were people she cherished, kissed, and loved......

The cold chain moved twice, and the cell door was quickly opened, making a "creaking" sound, out of fear, the cuttlefish subconsciously closed his eyes, and suddenly felt that the door opening of the cell was too harsh.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were full of sadness, as if she had made plans for the worst, even if she was reluctant, she would not be able to match Concubine Xi's means and power after all. I only hope that in the next life, I can live in peace......

However, when the cuttlefish finally mustered up the courage to see the comer clearly, it was really taken aback, and what was standing in front of him was not a fierce and evil person with poisonous wine in his hand, but a person she was familiar with and could not be more familiar, the emperor!

The cuttlefish tilted his head in a daze, and couldn't react for a while, blurting out what he blurted out: "Your Majesty, you are here, but you are here to give the concubine to death?" ”

When the emperor saw her like this, he inevitably felt a little heartache, how could he kill her?! I think she must be terrified to say such a thing.

The ground was too cold, and the cuttlefish's legs were a little stiff, she barely stood up and staggered forward two steps, and the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

The cuttlefish looked at the emperor. Suddenly, he burst into tears, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" How did you end up here? The concubine is not dreaming. ”

The emperor gently held her in his arms and stroked her back with pity. He said softly, "I'll be fine, you're not dreaming, I'm really here." ”

The cuttlefish was naturally happy to see that the emperor was safe and sound, but at the same time, she also remembered that she was suspected of poisoning. couldn't help but be a little flustered, she didn't want to be misunderstood by the emperor and think that she had bad intentions.

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't poison you, she didn't want to harm you, but I don't know why that bowl of stewed pears was poisonous, but the concubine dared to swear to the sky that the concubine never wanted to harm you." The cuttlefish was a little incoherent and hurriedly defended, "There is a misunderstanding in this. Concubine, concubine really didn't poison. ”

The emperor knew that she had no reason to poison people, of course he was willing to believe her, he smiled weakly, "How can you harm me?" I believe in you, don't be afraid, let's go back. ”

The cuttlefish was wrapped in the emperor's coat and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Concubine Xi and Concubine Ning were still sitting, and they had no intention of returning to their respective bedrooms. They want to stay here and see how the emperor handles this matter.

Seeing that the emperor and the cuttlefish were back, Concubine Ning cast a concerned look at the cuttlefish, and the cuttlefish nodded slightly at her. Concubine Ning knew that the cuttlefish should be fine.

Concubine Xi looked at all this coldly, and saw that the emperor didn't mean to blame the cuttlefish at all, and she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, you are highly poisoned, and this is the most important thing in the palace." You must find the murderer, have you already made a decision? ”

The emperor glanced at Concubine Xi with his spare eyes, "Yes, it was Shoulu and Wang who agreed to join forces to poison me in a vain attempt to kill me, is there any doubt about this?" ”

Concubine Xi was excited for a moment, and immediately got up to refute, "What about Concubine Qian?" Shoulu didn't say who wanted to harm the emperor until he died, and how did the emperor know that Concubine Qian was not involved, Shoulu obviously had the intention of killing the king, but it is likely that Concubine Qian and Wang promised to be his accomplices, and the emperor could not make decisions based on feelings alone, so as not to leave trouble. ”

The cuttlefish looked at Concubine Xi and knew that she wanted to cure herself to death, but she was too anxious and pressed the emperor again and again, which would make the emperor bored.

Concubine Xi's move exposed her hostility towards the cuttlefish, and everyone could see that she intended to target the cuttlefish.

The emperor shouted impatiently, "If Concubine Qian really wants to kill me, then why should Wang agree to help Shoulu?" She **** stayed with me, and if she wanted to do it, she would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today to use such lame means to poison her? Concubine Xi, you target Concubine Qian everywhere, but what are your prejudices against her? ”

Concubine Xi was reprimanded, but she still refused to give up, she changed her tone and continued, "The concubine has served the emperor for many years, and she is in charge of the harem on the orders of the emperor. It's just that the concubine doesn't want to see the emperor have another accident, and she is inevitably worried, so she has to say a few more words, everyone in the palace knows that you love Qian Concubine, but you can't blindly protect her without distinguishing black and white without evidence, Qian Concubine has too much suspicion, people have to doubt, how can you determine that she is not guilty? ”

She lowered her head and spoke sincerely, as if she was really worried about the emperor's safety, seeing this, the emperor could no longer blame her for many things, so she had to sigh helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines want to target anyone, it's just that the concubines don't want to see you acting unfairly and falling into the mouth." Concubine Xi suddenly said again.

The emperor was very embarrassed, he didn't know what decision to make again, the cuttlefish saw that he hesitated, so he had to kneel down and ask for guilt, "Your Majesty, the concubine has never poisoned you, but this matter is indeed caused by the concubine, the concubine is guilty, and please punish the emperor." ”

If the emperor does not punish her, it will inevitably cause criticism again, saying that the emperor always favors her.

She was guilty, but extenuating, and she was not punished.

The emperor came up with an expedient measure and said, "Concubine Qian was accidentally taken advantage of and almost caused a big disaster, and she really should be punished, so it is better to punish you for being grounded for a month, halving the monthly case, and staying in Xianfu Palace to think about it behind closed doors." ”

This little punishment is nothing, the cuttlefish hurriedly bowed her head to accept the punishment, and before Concubine Xi could refute again, she bowed and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace. The emperor also sent everyone out on the grounds of physical fatigue, and did not give anyone a chance to raise objections.

Concubine Xi is extremely angry, what is the grounding for a month, the emperor is clearly perfunctory, this is an excellent opportunity, instinctively get rid of the cuttlefish, but was delayed by Concubine Ning, giving the emperor a chance to save people.

Yi Hui stepped forward to support Concubine Xi, but was thrown away by Concubine Xi, at this time, she had transferred her anger to Concubine Ning's body, and she had murderous intent in her heart. (To be continued.) )
