116 A spy in a distant country
Concubine Hua took a long breath, and the look on her face was much better.
Seeing this, Leng Zixi couldn't help sneering in her heart, I really don't know what kind of brain this Concubine Hua is, now this pearl is dead, and there is no proof of death, but all the spearheads are pointed at Concubine Hua, and there is no chance to prove it.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very strange, this maid originally followed Niangniang, but I don't know who instructed her to make such a deprising move, for the safety of the royal family, I hope the emperor will send someone to investigate."
It was Mama Xing who spoke, I saw that her expression was frank, her voice was sound, her eyes were clear, full of justice, if Leng Zixi was not an insider and a victim among them, then she would definitely have been deceived by her appearance.
Leng Zixi couldn't help but nod secretly, Mama Xing can sit in this position, which can be seen to be related to her own ability.
kept saying that he didn't intercede for Concubine Hua at all, all he said was for the safety of the royal family, but he just believed that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Hua.
When the emperor heard this, his expression was relieved, but he didn't speak for a long time.
Concubine Li took a step forward and said with a grim expression: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to this maidservant, her direct master is Concubine Hua, if the emperor wants to investigate, then the first thing to check is Concubine Hua." ”
This made Leng Zixi very surprised, she didn't know about the open and secret battles in the harem, but she didn't expect Concubine Li to target Concubine Hua so directly, so blatantly, which was equivalent to challenging the queen's power. In the harem, either you die or I live. But because the emperor is there, he doesn't dare to announce it directly on the table. Leng Zixi didn't expect that because Concubine De was almost assassinated, Concubine Shu's force would not hesitate to turn against the queen. Presumably, he also wants to take this opportunity to attack the queen's power, even if it doesn't collapse, it is enough for the queen to drink a pot.
"Your Majesty." Concubine De had returned to her usual dignified and steady appearance at this time, and there was no frightened look on her face.
"According to the concubine, this matter may not have anything to do with Concubine Hua, since Pearl is Concubine Hua's eldest maid, the various harem concubines must move around very frequently on weekdays, and they gather in Fengqi Palace today. There must be many people who can recognize it. Even if Concubine Hua really wanted the life of her concubine, she would not use such a person. ”
"Even if you want to use this girl, you will definitely think of a plan to retreat, or push it on others. Or let this pearl make some kind of lie. Instead of letting her die violently at this most critical time. Therefore, there are still many doubts in this, I hope the emperor will be aware of it. ”
I didn't expect Concubine De to come forward to speak. Leng Zixi naturally put away his voice, didn't say a word, and stood aside quietly.
Hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought, but the eyes of the queen and the concubine were full of light, this concubine was silent on weekdays, and she did her best to fulfill the etiquette, and she only thought that she was a vase from a deep lady, but she didn't expect her mind to be so active.
"Your Majesty, the concubine believes that Concubine Hua will not do such a thing, she will not." Concubine Shu was already pear blossoms with rain at this time, her eyes were red, and her beautiful appearance first softened the emperor's heart.
And she didn't argue anything between her words, didn't come up with any evidence, just said back and forth that she wouldn't, as if she was insisting on one of her beliefs, and she was a little innocent of not caring about the world.
Just ask such a beauty, who can refuse. The emperor was already tired of the battle in the harem, and now seeing Concubine Shu's actions made his originally impatient heart feel satisfied.
Leng Zixi watched coldly, looking at Concubine Shu's coy posture, and felt that she did have some ability and knew what to do at this time.
Sure enough, the emperor gently took her hand, and his voice softened a lot inadvertently, "Don't worry, I didn't say that Concubine Hua did it, but this maid is Concubine Hua's little maid after all, so naturally I have to check it out." ”
Originally, the fighting in this harem would never stop, and the victim of this matter, Concubine De, never said anything, how could others offend? Naturally, there are many who do not believe it.
The emperor was originally relieved by the words of Concubine De and Concubine Shu, but now seeing that the concubines who are tense on weekdays, they all think that it will not be Concubine Hua, but they have a good impression of Concubine Hua in their hearts.
Thinking like this, his expression relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to beckon, "Check this maid carefully and see if there is anything else to find." ”
Hearing this, a few grandmothers immediately came and carried the body of the pearl down.
Seeing that the emperor's expression had become warm, everyone naturally knew that this matter was probably about to pass, and their hearts were relieved, and this banquet could continue.
The emperor was naturally sorry for the victim Concubine De, and seeing that in such a situation, she was still able to maintain such calm and dignified, and it seemed that she was no worse than the queen at all, but more feminine than the queen, and a little less steady, so she liked it in her heart.
"No matter what the result of today is, I will definitely not let go of the main messenger behind the scenes, but Concubine De was frightened today after all, what does Concubine Ai want? I'll give it all to you. ”
When Concubine De heard this, she smiled gently, "If the emperor really wants to give his concubine something, give me your qin!" ”
The qin in the Heart Cultivation Hall is indeed a rare thing, and Concubine De has always liked these things, so it is not surprising that she wants this, even if she orders someone to send the qin over.
Concubine De respectfully accepted it, and sat quietly in her seat again, as if neither the assassination nor the reward had ever happened.
After this incident, the grandmother who was checking the pearl's body over there also hurriedly ran over, trembling and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the slaves and maids found a tattoo of this pattern on the maid's body. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the paper in his hand, and when the emperor saw it, he snorted coldly, "The slave of the dead country also dares to jump and spread my will, hang that maid at the gate of Tianjing City for three days and then throw it into the mass grave." ”
When the queen heard this, her heart sank, she didn't expect that the framed would not succeed, but it would cause so many incidents, it was really a recipe for stealing chickens and rice. It's all that treacherous woman! The queen's eyes looked at Leng Zixi like a venomous snake, vicious and ruthless, not at all like the previous kindness.
Since it involves people from distant countries, it naturally has nothing to do with Concubine Hua, because before the emperor brought Concubine Hua into the palace, he investigated her identity, and knew that Concubine Hua's parents died at the hands of people from distant countries.
Because of such a tattoo, it reminded the emperor of Concubine Hua's tragic life experience, and he felt very guilty, and he was even more gentle towards Concubine Hua.
What else can't be understood in such a situation, the emperor clearly believes in Concubine Hua's innocence. (To be continued.) )
