In the past two months, Huangfu Jingwen rarely set foot in the harem, and Guanju Palace was also unusually quiet. But Chu Xiangwan's body is getting weaker and weaker, the weather in October should be already cool, but Chu Xiangwan is always too hot, and he is not allowed to change the thin quilt. And every time she gets up, she is always dizzy, sometimes she will vomit out all the food after eating two bites, and sometimes she has a good appetite, so she asks Qian'er to do this and that for her, but she really doesn't want to eat it when she comes to it. Qian'er said to ask the imperial doctor to take a look, but Chu Xiangwan refused, since the last incident, Chu Xiangwan was reluctant to see people, always stayed alone in the palace and did not want to move, sometimes just looked at the sky in a daze, and the whole day passed.

One day at noon, Huangfu Jingwen came to see Chu Xiangwan, although she knew, but she didn't want to take the car, so she pretended to be asleep and turned her back to the door, Huangfu Jingwen stood behind her for a long time, looking at her all the time, and finally, he sighed heavily and said, "Since you don't want to see me, I can't come to disturb you." When you've figured it out, see me again. Since then, Huangfu Jingwen has never come to Guanju Palace again, but often called Qian'er to the imperial study to ask Chu Xiangwan about his diet and daily life.

Qian'er looked at Chu Xiangwan's haggard and depressed appearance, and wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know how to relieve Miss, so she could only accompany Chu Xiangwan every day and take good care of her.

"Queen Mother, Fang Shangshu is here to greet you." In the Cihe Palace, Mama Li entered the inner room to report.

"Let him go to the main hall and wait for the mourners."

"Yes." Mama Li went out.

"Weichen sees the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be healthy." Seeing the Queen Mother come out, Fang Tinglou immediately knelt down and said.

"Get up," the Queen Mother waved her hand, "You should know what the mourning family thinks, and you will be restless, depending on what you do to satisfy the mourning family." It's been more than a month, and the mourning family has asked you to do something for so long, which is really disappointing for the mourning family. ”

"I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me," Fang Tinglou knelt down again, "The people sent out by Weichen have always been blocked on the way, and it seems that they are not a group of people, so it took so long to determine it." ”

"Okay, then you say, how is the investigation going?" The Queen Mother went straight to the point.

"It's basically true, Huangfu Jingyao and Chu Xiangwan do have adultery."

"How?" The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth curled slightly, she knew that this matter was not simple, but she didn't expect it to be true, this time she must let these two people never recover.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen sent people to Chu Mansion and the other courtyards of Chu Mansion to inquire, but they found nothing. Later, Weichen investigated in many ways and found other people who went out to investigate with Bian Yi, and the emperor knew about it and ordered Bian Yi to kill them all, and one of them escaped by fraudulently dying. Weichen's men chased him all the way to the border with the Xiongnu before they caught this person. In order to survive, he gave everything to himself. Chu Xiangwan had been with Huangfu Jingyao before the wedding, and even slept in the same room and bed. ”

"What a bastard! Huangfu Jingyao deserves to die, Chu Xiangwan deserves to die, these two people actually did such an unethical thing, and they wanted to deceive the mourning family and the emperor, it is really a crime that deserves death. The emperor was stunned by this woman, and he could even tolerate this kind of thing, and gave her the title of imperial concubine, and the mourning family would never let this slut cover the sky in the palace. Fang Tinglou, you go back first, the mourning family has its own opinions on this matter. The Queen Mother's tone was full of murderous intent.

"Mama Li, you take someone to Guanju Palace, no matter what way you use, the mourning family will bring Chu Xiangwan to Cihe Palace."

"The slave obeys."

In just a quarter of an hour, Mama Li led people to Guanju Palace in a hurry.

"Mama, the emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to enter the Guanju Palace without permission, if there is anything, let the slaves go in and report it."

"You little guard, you dare to ask the queen mother's will, get out of the way!" Mama Li shouted in a pretending manner.

The guards didn't dare to stop them anymore, so they could only let them go.

Entering the inner hall, Chu Xiangwan was leaning on the soft couch to read, today she was rarely interested in reading, Qian'er was also very happy, but she didn't expect Mama Li in the Queen Mother's palace to break in with a fierce attitude.

"Mama Li, what are you doing, Niangniang's inner hall is also what you want to enter?" Qian'er asked angrily.

"Smack." Mama Li went up and gave Qian'er a slap, and Qian'er's face became red and swollen.

"Qian'er," Chu Xiangwan stood up from the couch, and she said to Mama Li, "Mama Li, what does this mean?" Why didn't you just bring people in and beat them up without reporting it? ”

"Imperial concubine, offended, please go to Cihe Palace with the old slave, the queen mother wants to see you." Mama Li said expressionlessly, in her opinion, this "imperial concubine" has already given Chu Xiangwan a lot of face, maybe this is the last one.

"Okay, I'll go with you. Qian'er, you don't have to follow, wait for the palace to come back in Guanju Palace. ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid should go with you, you have been feeling unwell recently, and you have been saying that your chest is tight at noon."

"You can't help but say that the Queen Mother only needs the imperial concubine to go alone, do you want to disobey the Queen Mother's will?"

"I-"

"Alright, let's go." Chu Xiangwan stopped Qian'er from continuing, and walked out of the Guanju Palace with Mama Li.

"The concubine sees the queen mother."

"Why, the thousands of favored imperial concubines still remember the old woman of the mourning family? It's really flattering. The Queen Mother said mockingly.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Since Chu Xiangwan was named the imperial concubine, Huangfu Jingwen made a decree, saying that "the imperial concubine is weak, so she will be exempted from the daily Cihe Palace to ask for peace", and also sent guards to guard outside all the time, although there are also reasons for nervous Chu Xiangwan's good night, but it is more of a house arrest, Huangfu Jingwen is afraid that Chu Xiangwan will see Huangfu Jingyao again, so he made this decree. Chu Xiangwan also lived in a simple house and was reluctant to go out to meet people, so she hadn't set foot in Cihe Palace for a long time.

"Chu Xiangwan, are you guilty?" The Queen Mother struck first.

"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to make it clear."

"Hmph, you slut, the mourning family really underestimated you, and actually had a secret communication with Huangfu Jingyao, and the indecent things before the big wedding were simply rebellious and deserving of death. You say, have you always had an adulterous affair with Huangfu Jingyao, and you still want to help him plot to seize the emperor's country? ”

It's this matter again, Chu Xiangwan has been honored by Huangfu Jingwen because of this matter - when will it be calmed down?

"The Queen Mother, the concubine and King Rui are innocent, and they will not be involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, please let the Queen Mother know." Chu Xiangwan knew the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, the Queen Mother not only wanted her to die, but also wanted to use this matter to kill Huangfu Jingyao.

"Innocence? Do you think the mourning family is confused? Like your mother, they are all cheap women who are not in the room. When I see this face, I will think of the sister who is loved by thousands of people, and the Queen Mother will be full of resentment.

"The Queen Mother?! The concubine's mother is not that kind of person, and neither is the concubine. Chu Xiangwan didn't expect the Queen Mother to speak ill of her, and she scolded her sister.

"Mama Li, slap her mouth." The Queen Mother commanded fiercely.

Mama Li raised her hand and opened the bow left and right, the strength was amazing, less than ten slaps, Chu Xiangwan's face was already swollen.

"The mourning family asked you, did you have an adulterous affair with Huangfu Jingyao before the wedding?"

"No, the concubine is wronged."

"Okay, Mama Li, serve the imperial concubine again, so that she dares to tell lies in front of the mourning family."

"Yes." Mama Li came up with a few palace maids and took out a clamping stick.

"Ahh When the clamping stick tightened more and more, Chu Xiangwan couldn't help but cry out in pain, seeing that his hands were clamped like this again, he would be wasted. Large beads of sweat rolled down from Chu Xiangwan's forehead, and Chu Xiangwan's blood left from the clamp stick dripped on the ground.

"Do you recruit or not?" Mama Li asked viciously, and the smile on the Queen Mother's face became more and more hideous.

"The concubine is still the same sentence, King Rui and I are innocent." After speaking, Chu Xiangwan fainted.

"It's not that easy to play dead. Mama Li, splash her with cold water to wake her up. ”

After pouring a few basins of cold water, Chu Xiangwan woke up from the cold. For a moment, Chu Xiangwan didn't know where he was.

"The mourning family asked you one last time, did Huangfu Jingyao instruct you to confuse the emperor and seek to seize the throne?"

"No, even if you retry it a hundred times, you won't."

"Okay, you can not admit it, as long as you draw a charge, this matter cannot be denied. Mama Li, take out the confession. ”

"No, no, no······" Chu Xiangwan couldn't struggle anymore, and Mama Li grabbed her hand and pressed her handprint on the confession.

"Come on, the imperial concubine has confessed all the crimes, and you will wait for the imperial concubine to go on the road." The Queen Mother asked people to take out the crane top red that had been prepared long ago, and forced Chu Xiangwan to pour it down.

"Stop, give it all to me." As soon as the medicine reached his mouth, he heard the shouts of Huangfu Jingwen, and Mama Li also stopped moving.

"Mama Li, you are so bold, what are you doing with that bowl of medicine? Don't put it down yet! Huangfu Jingwen's anger frightened Mama Li, and she knelt down as soon as her legs were weak, and the medicine was spilled on the ground.

It turned out that as soon as Qian'er saw Chu Xiangwan and Mama Li leaving, she immediately went to the imperial study to ask to see the emperor. Who knew that the little eunuch in the imperial study said that the emperor was discussing with the ministers inside, and no one was allowed to disturb him. Qian'er waited at the door, waited for a long time, and seeing that the time was getting longer and longer, she couldn't care less, and shouted loudly outside the imperial study: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has something important to report." ”

The little eunuch saw that Qian'er was shouting loudly, and immediately wanted to drive her away, but who knew that the door of the imperial study suddenly opened, and the chief eunuch Ma Hui came out and asked Qian'er to go in and reply.

"That's all for today, so stand down." The ministers left the imperial study, and Chu Huaifeng was among them, he glanced at Qian'er worriedly, and left without saying anything.

Qian'er couldn't say anything to Chu Huaifeng at this moment, and lowered her head and waited for everyone to leave. When only she and Huangfu Jingwen were left in the imperial study, she knelt down and said, "Ask the emperor to save her mother." ”

"What's going on?" Huangfu Jingwen thought that something was wrong with Chu Xiangwan's body.

"At noon, the Empress Dowager sent someone to take Niangniang away, and the slaves and maids were not allowed to follow, and Niangniang has not come back until now." Qian'er's anxious tears were about to fall out.

"I know, go to Cihe Palace with me immediately." Huangfu Jingwen stood up and walked out of the door as he spoke, Qian'er followed in a hurry, and when they stepped into the door of Cihe Palace, they saw that the poison was almost about to enter Chu Xiangwan's mouth.
