Things in the palace are always busy, and sometimes when they are busy, they forget about the original things, especially during this period of time, because His Majesty often goes to the palace to rest, the curtain is so busy that he can't even find a free time, and he doesn't have the heart to care about the jade pendant, but he also put it on hold for the time being.

I finally got time to rest, and today I was talking with Nanzhi with Qin Shujiu, but when I said this, I was shocked to hear a commotion from outside the palace. This sudden noisy sound can make Qin Shujiu frown, that is, when the eyebrows are frowning, the curtain gets up and is about to go outside to take a look, who knows that just after walking to the palace bed, he saw Empress Zheng walking in outside the palace. Empress Zheng is obviously not good at coming here this time, that is, Duan Shushan, who has no presence, is smiling, but has an angry face, and there are palace maids and chamberlains behind her, looking at the situation, there is something important.

When this party went out, he met Queen Zheng who went straight into the palace at the palace, and the curtain was shocked in his heart, so he paused and then retreated to the side, kneeling and knocking. Curtain Er was a little surprised to see Empress Zheng in her heart, but Qin Shujiu was also stunned. Although I don't know what Empress Zheng suddenly drove there for today, but looking at the anger on her face at this time and the formation behind her, Qin Shujiu knew that this trip must not be good.

There was also a sudden vigilance in his heart, but Qin Shujiu's face did not lose his sense of proportion first, he got up and then bowed, Qin Shujiu said lightly: "The concubine pays a visit to the queen." After a word, he got up, and then looked at Queen Zheng, Qin Shujiu asked: "I don't know if Niangniang is in the palace, but she didn't welcome the driver, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive her sins." It's just that today, how can I get free but go to the palace of the concubine. ”

Empress Zheng rarely entered her place, even if there was something, she went to Qingning Hall to knock on her, and now you are afraid that you have no good intentions. Qin Shujiu was already vigilant in his heart when he smiled and asked, just to see what kind of trickery Empress Zheng was carrying today, who knew that her words of inquiry had just fallen, and she actually heard Empress Zheng angrily reprimanded.

"Auntie, are you guilty?"

Suddenly, there was a loud scream, and it was not only Empress Zheng's voice that sank, but also Qin Shujiu's heart sank directly, completely unaware of the reason for Empress Zheng's angry reprimand, Qin Shujiu knelt down because of the reprimand, and then said suspiciously: "The concubine doesn't know what the crime is, and I hope that the mother will make it clear." ”

Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, Qin Shujiu understood this truth, but she didn't expect that Empress Zheng would ask her about her guilt as soon as she came. She felt that she had been very peaceful recently, she had never taken action, and she had not done anything wrong, but now that she heard Queen Zheng's angry reprimand, Qin Shujiu did not know the root cause. The person knelt down, but Qin Shujiu was also very suspicious in his heart, and he had to find an understanding.

She didn't know why Empress Zheng's crime came from, but Empress Zheng's anger was also heavy, that is, when she saw Qin Shu's drunkenness, Empress Zheng took a heavy breath and said, "My concubine doesn't know what she has done?" ”

"The concubine really doesn't know, and I hope that the mother will make it clear."

"Okay, since the concubine doesn't know, then the palace will ask the concubine about the affair, how should it be dealt with in the palace?"

Before she was reprimanded for something, Empress Zheng actually asked such a sentence, and Qin Shujiu's heart was even more suspicious at the moment, although she couldn't see what kind of medicine was sold in Empress Zheng's gourd, but she still said seriously: "Adultery in the palace disregards the rules and regulations of the palace, and it stands to reason that she should be sent to the court prison and severely punished." ”

"Okay, it stands to reason that he should be sent to the court prison for a heavy punishment, and it is reasonable to be punished, so the palace asks again, if the concubines are not strict in discipline and allow the servants below to fornicate with others, what should it be?" This questioning voice was already angry to the bottom, and Empress Zheng's words sounded like an inquiry, but in fact, it was straight to Qin Shujiu. Empress Zheng was angry that she was not strict in discipline, but she thought that there had never been such a disaster in the palace and the harem, so she didn't understand what Empress Zheng's words meant, and Qin Shujiu should have replied.

"The concubine doesn't know what the mother means?"

"You don't know?" Her frowning blunt words obviously made Queen Zheng even more angry, when she looked at her, she sighed a few words of "good", Queen Zheng re-spat and said: "Since the concubine is unknown, then the palace is asking directly, conniving at the palace maids to fornicate with the forbidden army guards, touching the palace rules and disasters, and lewd harem, how to explain this evil thing." ”

The voice was strong and the words were heavy, that is, every word was shouted out, and Empress Zheng reprimanded her that someone in the palace had committed adultery and trouble, and had violated the rules of the palace. Empress Zheng's anger was full of anger, but she refused to accept such a reprimand for Qin Shujiu, this was her palace, and her palace maid also knew that no one would do such a promiscuous and disorderly thing, and immediately Qin Shujiu also welcomed Empress Zheng's anger and then replied with righteousness.

"Is there a **, **** thing in the concubine's palace? Mother, but mistakenly? The maids in the palace of the concubines abide by the palace rules, and there will be no rebellion, and they must not talk about such crimes as fornication. ”

"Mistaken responsibility? Could it be that the concubine felt that the palace had no evidence and would come to you here to question? Qin Shujiu's words obviously touched Empress Zheng's prestige, and when she called Empress Zheng's words sank a little more, she was already so angry that she was cold, she looked at Qin Shujiu condescendingly, and after a cold look at it, Empress Zheng suddenly took something, and then returned something to the ground. When the thing fell in front of Qin Shujiu, Empress Zheng said.

"Since Concubine Yao avenged her grievances and said that this matter was wrong, if it is wrong, she will explain it to the palace, what is this?" When the thing was thrown in front of Empress Zheng, Qin Shujiu's heart was already Mo's shock, and it was this moment's uneasiness that made her forcibly suppress it, and when Zhengse looked at the thing thrown in front of her, Qin Shujiu's uneasiness in her heart could no longer be suppressed. The uneasiness surged out like a tide, and he was silent, and Qin Shujiu at this time could not utter half a word.

Because she recognized the thing, Qin Shujiu said silently, and seeing Qin Shujiu's changed complexion, Empress Zheng said: "Since there is a mistake, Concubine Miao is to explain to the palace, who owns this purse?" When the words fell and Qin Shujiu was still speechless, Emperor Zheng continued: "If this thing is not misremembered in this palace, it looks like a curtain in the palace of the concubine." ”

The purse thrown by Empress Zheng is indeed a personal thing of the curtain, and the personal thing of this daughter's family is used to being carried on her body, but now it is thrown from the hands of Empress Zheng, Qin Shujiu has felt that something is wrong. After holding his voice and being silent, after thinking about it in his heart, Qin Shujiu responded: "This thing is the thing of the curtain in the palace of the concubine, thank you Niangniang for helping to find it." ”

When she saw this, she knew that something was wrong, and Qin Shujiu didn't want to say too much to avoid missing words, but her reply was exchanged for a laugh from Empress Zheng, that is, looking at Qin Shujiu, Empress Zheng said: "Thank you for this palace?" Concubine Wo didn't think that before thanking me again, she should ask where she found this thing in this palace? ”

She knew that it was no good thing for Empress Zheng to enter the palace in person, and now that she had the curtain in her hand, it was impossible to give up. Now everything is in the hands of Empress Zheng, even if Qin Shujiu is good at arguing at this time, she doesn't know how to deal with it, that is, knowing that Qin Shujiu is unspeakable in this matter, Empress Zheng said in a voice.

"This thing is obtained by a guard of the forbidden army, when such a lewd and calamitous thing happened in the palace, the palace can not believe that this thing is out of the palace, but this matter is complete with human and material evidence, so the palace cannot be investigated and handled in accordance with the palace rules."

said that it was in accordance with the palace rules, but in fact, it was not through this matter that he wanted to attack the palace, the curtain was found on the forbidden army guards, and this matter was very important, and immediately Qin Shujiu condensed his eyes and looked towards the curtain. Why did his purse appear in the hands of the forbidden guards, the curtain couldn't understand this matter, not to mention where the fornication came from, when he was lying down there and then said wrongly.

"The maid has never given away the things she has with her, and she has never done that filthy or obscene thing in private, and I hope that the mother will be aware of it."

I haven't done it before, but now it's suddenly scolding people like this, and the curtain is also full of confusion. Curtain Er acts, Qin Shujiu can be trusted, and it is certain that this matter must be framed by others, that is, after hearing Curtain Er's complaint, Qin Shujiu immediately said: "Queen Mother, there is a misunderstanding this time, the maids in the palace of the concubines have always abided by the palace rules, and will never do such dirty things, should you be aware at this time?" ”

"Don't do this filthy thing, is it possible that the concubine feels that this palace is deliberately framed and falsely accused you of being a maid in the palace?" Qin Shujiu's words made Empress Zheng suppress her words, and she was silent to hide her anger. Since such a slanderous thing in the palace stall, it has not been ascertained that it is impossible for Qin Shujiu to protest with Empress Zheng clearly, so he lowered his eyes and said: "The concubine does not dare, but how can such a purse break the curtain and commit adultery and filth, the mother blames this time, and the concubine still feels that it is a little too arbitrary." ”

It is an eternal truth to take people and dirty, catch traitors and catch doubles, this is an eternal truth, Empress Zheng is convicted of curtains just by virtue of a purse, and Qin Shujiu can't be relied on. is to open his mouth, and said that Empress Zheng's trip is too arbitrary, if you know that such a thing is indeed too arbitrary, but since Empress Zheng has come to the palace, it is impossible for her to only have such a thing in her hand. When she looked at Qin Shujiu with her eyes, Empress Zheng said after a condescending judgment.

"Concubine Miao is right, it is indeed too arbitrary to convict just by virtue of the purse in her hand, but there is not only such evidence in the hands of this palace."

"I wonder if Niangniang has any other evidence of crimes?" raised his head to look at Empress Zheng, and stared directly into Empress Zheng's eyes with frowning eyebrows, just thinking of poking out the meaning of today's trip from her eyes. It's a pity that this high-ranking queen is not an ordinary concubine, this matter can be seen through at a glance, and it is also to greet the eyes, that is, to welcome the moment, Queen Zheng moved her eyes to look at Huang Fuming on her side, and then ordered: "Go down, search for the palace." ”

Under the order of a word, Huang Fuming immediately received it, and then led the attendant behind him to enter the palace to search, seeing that Huang Fuming wanted to be presumptuous in the palace, Qin Shujiu refused to do so, when he scolded and then looked at Queen Zheng, Qin Shujiu said: "What does the queen mean?" ”

"Didn't Concubine Ao inquire about whether the palace could have any evidence of the crime, and if she did, the palace must not order anyone to take it?"

"If you take it, why do you order someone to search the palace of the concubine?"

"Why? My Fair Concubine will know in a moment. When the words fell, he glanced at Huang Fuming, and Huang Fuming, who had obtained the will of his mother, stepped back and acted. When Empress Zheng ordered someone to search the palace, the curtain suddenly changed for some reason, and this sudden change in complexion did not attract the attention of others, but she still asked Qin Shujiu to pay attention. When he saw the flickering complexion of the curtain, Qin Shujiu knew that this palace could not be searched, and when he drank it again, Qin Shujiu looked at Nanzhi and motioned for her to help herself get up, and then looked directly at Empress Zheng and said.

"The queen mother searched the concubine's bedroom without evidence, this matter is afraid that it is inappropriate, since the queen mother said that there are servants and concubines in the palace and guards fornication, then more conclusive evidence should be presented, otherwise this grievance concubine in this palace can not be tolerated. Of course, if the queen insists on investigating, the concubine feels that this matter should also be given to Her Majesty, after all, during this period of time, Her Majesty often rests in the palace of the concubine, and most of the furnishings in the concubine's bedroom are according to Her Majesty's preferences. ”

If you want to check her place, you can do it, but Queen Zheng has to give her majesty first, and only after getting her majesty's approval can she search her self-simulated palace, otherwise, if these underweight errands don't have a serious hand, your majesty can't explain it. Qin Shujiu obviously wanted to use Liqing to suppress Empress Zheng, but it was rare to find such an opportunity, how could Empress Zheng ask Qin Shujiu to avoid it like this, that is, her eyes were already cold to the extreme, Empress Zheng looked at Qin Shujiu and said.

"The palace maid's fornication is a matter of the harem, the palace is more expensive than the lord of the harem, the wife of His Majesty, and all the things in the palace have always been handled by the palace himself. There is no need to give this thing to His Majesty, even if he is given to His Majesty, the last person to do this is the palace, how? Could it be that the concubine feels that this palace can't find out your self-proposed palace? ”

Empress Zheng's words were very powerful, that is, Qin Shujiu was about to speak, and before the voice came out, Empress Zheng broke off her words, and then said: "If Your Majesty blames it, this palace deserves it, and it will definitely not be connected to the palace, and Concubine Zheng doesn't need to worry." After this loud voice, Qin Shujiu was not given a chance to speak, and Empress Zheng had already ordered Huang Fuming to thoroughly investigate the palaces of the palace.

The words have come to this, if Qin Shujiu is more involved, it will inevitably make people have a suspicion of covering up and hiding, and he can only lock his eyebrows and watch the inner servants go in and out of the palace.

This strict investigation of going in and out really made Empress Zheng search for things.

When Huang Fuming brought a thing into the palace, Empress Zheng took it and looked at it, and then she was so angry that she flicked her sleeves, and when she saw that the thing was in her hand, she was angry, and Empress Zheng said: "Concubine, what else do you have to argue about now." ”

The thing in the hands of Queen Zheng is a piece of jade pendant, the jade pendant is only half of the side, and it is clear that it is a piece of good jade at a glance and directly makes people break into two places. When this thing was searched out of the self-simulated palace, Empress Zheng's complexion was completely sunk, especially when this thing was still found from the curtain room, and the self-simulated palace had nothing to say.

It was because of this thing in her hand that Queen Zheng ordered someone to take the curtain and wanted to do it strictly according to the palace rules. (To be continued.) )
