Chapter 037: The Final Winner

It wasn't until in front of the Empress Dowager that Concubine Rong knew that the person who suddenly rushed into her Lu Qixuan just now was actually the Empress Dowager's person.

Entering the Beauty Pavilion and seeing the crowd in the hall waiting for the water peach being tied, Concubine Rong's heart suddenly rose with an ominous premonition.

But she still held on to the last bit of luck, and after the two guards let go of herself, she immediately knelt down and saluted the Empress Dowager: "Concubine see Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager did not let Concubine Rong get up as usual.

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, and Concubine Rong naturally didn't dare to get up. After kneeling for about a cup of tea like this, Concubine Rong couldn't stand it anymore, so she tentatively asked, "Empress Dowager, is there anything wrong with the concubine?" ”

As soon as Concubine Rong's words fell, the Empress Dowager suddenly put the tea cup in her hand on the coffee table beside her, and said unceremoniously and coldly: "It's not proper? What you have done yourself is clearest in your heart! ”

"The concubine doesn't understand what the Empress Dowager means," Concubine Rong said stubbornly.

"The mourning family knows that you won't say anything now, but it doesn't matter, when you find something in a while, you won't be allowed to quibble." The Empress Dowager did not directly interrogate Concubine Rong, but uncharacteristically did not ask anything, and just waited quietly.

The uneasiness in Rong Concubine's heart became more and more intense, and she even began to keep glancing at Shui Tao and Ai Duoer. She began to guess in her heart that the matter of being a peach had been revealed, and Ai Duoer was questioned by the Queen Mother, so she bit herself out?

However, although Concubine Rong had all kinds of uneasiness in her heart, she had been comforting herself: this qiē thing was done by Shui Tao. Peach is Ai Duoer's personal girl, and she has nothing to do with herself.

Moreover, the two people she sent to cooperate with Shui Tao in the medicine have also been dealt with properly. Yes, she's taken care of everything, and they won't have any evidence against them.

In the midst of everyone's silent waiting and Concubine Rong's nervousness, the head of the guard just now walked in again with another guard, and after saluting the Empress Dowager, he reported: "Back to the Empress Dowager, my subordinates searched for this in Concubine Rong's room." ”

Aunt Hebi stepped forward again and took a small porcelain vase in the hand of the head of the guard and handed it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager just glanced at it. Immediately came to the side of the doctor. He instructed: "Check what medicine is in the porcelain vase and whether it is safflower." ”

The imperial physician immediately obeyed the order and stepped forward, took the medicine bottle with both hands, and examined it.

Jian Ning didn't let Qianlan interfere at the moment. Check such a small thing. Too much is enough! And if she's not bad. I'm afraid it's safflower in this bottle.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the porcelain bottle contains a very high concentration of safflower medicinal juice." The Imperial Doctor's words verified Jian Ning's guess, and at the same time, the situation in the entire hall changed.

Concubine Rong was stunned all of a sudden. When he reacted, he shook his head frantically, trembled his lips, and said with disbelief in his eyes: "No, it's impossible, I didn't do it, it's not!" ”

"It's her, she did it, she framed me!" Concubine Rong suddenly rushed to Ai Duoer and Shui Tao's side, and shouted angrily and unwillingly.

"If you don't know, how can you be sure it's her?" The Empress Dowager stood up suddenly and asked sharply.

"Don't take them down yet!" Aunt Hebi watched Concubine Rong's sudden loss of control, worried that she would accidentally hurt the Empress Dowager, and immediately said to the two guards on the side.

Until the moment when she was escorted to kneel on the ground, when the pain of breaking her knees came, Concubine Rong still couldn't believe what happened in front of her eyes.

She didn't understand why things had changed all at once. Why do I have that bottle of medicine in my room? The qiē I designed by myself obviously went very smoothly, didn't it, why did such an unpredictable result occur in the end?

Jian Ning looked at the confusion and disbelief in Rong Concubine's eyes, and finally sighed helplessly, Rong Concubine was really the same as when she first saw her, she looked scheming on the surface, but in fact, she was designed everywhere and became a sharp blade in the hands of others.

If it was someone else, Jian Ning might help her. But if it was Concubine Rong, Jian Ning would never make a move, because she would not forget Jì, and Concubine Rong was also surnamed Ai. This was originally a drama designed by Concubine Rong and Ai Duoer, but it was a pity that Liji and Shui Tao became victims of this competition.

The next time was nothing more than the Empress Dowager strictly interrogating Shui Tao and Rong Concubine. What Jian Ning had to admire was Ai Duoer's control of water peach. During the whole process, Ador did not say a few words, but she successfully minimized her suspicion and even became a victim.

And Shui Tao is definitely a very smart acting master, when the Empress Dowager interrogated her, every word she said seemed to be defending Concubine Rong on the surface, and she wanted to take all the responsibilities, but after thinking about it, she would find that every time she spoke, she would intentionally or unintentionally lead other people's thoughts to the direction of "Concubine Rong is the mastermind behind this qiē".

It wasn't until that moment that Jian Ning really understood why Ai Duoer had kept Shui Tao by her side for so many years. It is not so much that Concubine Rong was defeated at the hands of Ai Duoer, but that Concubine Rong couldn't even fight a maid beside Ai Duoer.

After some cross-examination, the explanation given by Shui Tao was almost reasonable and impeccable. She would "help" Concubine Rong because Concubine Rong helped her in her most difficult time, lent a helping hand when her family was in trouble, and invited a doctor for her mother to come to see her.

As for this red flower, she also secretly brought it back when she went out of the palace to run errands.

According to these empress dowagers, they immediately sent someone to verify, and it turned out that Shui Tao's family has indeed been quite prosperous recently, and his eldest brother is going to get married in the near future

It's a pity that this qiē is just a game laid out by Ai Duoer in advance.

The most important thing is that in recent times, Shui Tao has frequently been in and out of Luqixuan. Shortly before Liji's accident, a palace maid saw Shui Tao coming out of Luqixuan with her own eyes.

All kinds of evidence pushed Concubine Rong into a desperate situation. She had asked for Shui Tao to come over in order to lead everything to Ador's body before, but she didn't expect this move to become a force to push herself into hell.

Things have developed to this point, Liji's miscarriage is a foregone conclusion, Concubine Rong is at a loss for words, and Shui Tao is even more bent on death, and Ai Duoer seems to be the final winner.

Long Zeye got up suddenly, shook off his robe, didn't say anything, and stepped out of the Beauty Pavilion coldly.

After Jian Ning chased after him quickly, she accompanied Long Zeye as she walked, and said lightly: "Why did you come out without saying anything, the Empress Dowager will definitely be unhappy when she sees it." ”

"Tonight's events are nothing more than a planned show from beginning to end, just to see who is better, and I don't have the slightest interest. It ruined my original good mood. There was obvious displeasure in Long Zeye's tone.

However, Jian Ning knew that Long Zeye was really a little angry, otherwise he would not have called himself "I" to her.

After thinking about it carefully, Jian Ning seemed to have nothing to say. Even she saw the general thing, how could Long Zeye not see through it! Ai Duoer's plan not only designed Liji and Concubine Rong, but also calculated the reaction of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, as well as her own retreat.

Jian Ning could even be sure that if Ai Duoer was involved just now and didn't minimize her suspicion so quickly, then she must have a back hand to clear herself. As long as there is a shield of water peach in front of her, Ai Duoer will not be hurt much.

It's just that Jian Ning can't figure it out that Ai Duoer is willing to give up such a witty and smart girl as Shui Tao for a Liji and Rong Concubine.

"Aren't you going to see Liki? She won't be better off without that child," Jian Ning didn't want to mention this matter at this time.

But what she wanted was for this matter to end, so she had to ask this question.

"A woman who can't even protect herself is no longer qualified to appear in front of me." After Long Zeye finished speaking coldly, he quickly walked back to Changle Palace. Leaving Jian Ning alone, she remained a little stiff in place

In the Beauty Pavilion, the Queen Mother was doing the final touch. Liji has been rescued by the imperial doctor, and her life has been saved, and she has come to her senses, but she will have to face not only physical pain in the future, but also inner torment.

She looked at Concubine Rong's eyes full of hatred, that is a kind of hatred that wants to peel off people's skin and eat them alive!

The Empress Dowager sentenced Shui Tao to death for murdering the emperor's heir, and abandoned the body in a mass grave, allowing wild beasts and crows to eat it. But fortunately, Shui Tao's family was finally exempted from the sin of Zhulian, but he was also sent to the frontier and enslaved forever.

Concubine Rong and Liji were both robbed of their titles and sent to the cold palace. And the most vicious thing about the Queen Mother's treatment of the two is that they are locked together. According to Liji's hatred for Rong Concubine, Rong Concubine has to keep one eye open even when she sleeps at night. And in order to ensure her own safety, Concubine Rong will also think of a way to solve Liji. The two of them will spend the rest of their sad lives hurting and guarding each other.

And the architect of the whole incident, Ador, was only imprisoned for three months on charges of lax discipline.

After this incident, the most injured person is the Queen Mother, she was looking forward to Yuan Chu's future, but in the end it ended so dismally. In the end, he left the palace and returned to Garan Temple, where he devoted himself to worshipping the Buddha.

This is the entire harem and even the imperial court, and the only one who guards his own purity is Fengyi Palace.

Similarly, after this incident, the reason why the harem has no heirs also spread, and all of a sudden, the entire harem fell silent.

After Jian Ning closed the door of Changle Palace for a few days, she took the initiative to go to Fengyi Palace for the first time. (To be continued......) R1292
