Concubine Xiang entered the cabinet, and suddenly saw the spring peach on the ground, the corners of her mouth were stained with blood, her face was slightly startled, and she secretly said in her heart: Could it be that the witchcraft has been exposed?

Then he pretended to be calm and saluted the Queen Mother and Qing Cang, "The concubine asks for peace for the emperor, and for the Queen Mother." Qing Cang's face was extremely unhappy, pointing to the spring peach on the ground, and said in a serious and stiff tone, "Concubine Xiang, should you give me an explanation?" ”

Concubine Xianggui slightly tilted her head and glanced at the spring peach on the ground, "The concubine doesn't know what the emperor wants the concubine to explain, and I ask the emperor to make it clear." Qing Cang's face was fierce, and he said angrily, "Chun Tao died suddenly after eating the turtle Ling paste you gave to Hui Concubine, the imperial doctor has found out that the turtle Ling paste contains highly poisonous, Xiang Gui Concubine, you are so bold that you dare to poison Hui Concubine." ”

Concubine Xiang was taken aback when she heard this, and instantly knew the reason, and looked at Concubine Hui who was sitting on the side with sword light, and then questioned, "Is the emperor suspected of the poison of the concubine?" Qing Cang raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "The facts are right in front of you, why don't you let me doubt you?" ”

At this time, the Queen Mother said in a cold tone, "Concubine Xiang, the emperor is giving you a chance." ”

Concubine Xiang argued with a little excitement, "Did the emperor and the queen mother conclude that it was the concubine who poisoned the concubine because of the sudden death of the spring peach?" Why don't you suspect that Concubine Hui used her hands and feet to harm the concubine in the turtle jelly? ”

After finishing speaking, the corners of Qin Yuan's mouth were not raised, and she said in a solemn and sonorous tone, "If it weren't for Chun Tao today, I would be a concubine lying on the ground right now." The concubine thought that Xianggui Concubine Niangniang specially sent a good turtle Ling cream, and she was really concerned about the concubine, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless! The concubine also tried her best to say good things for the noble concubine in front of the emperor, and the concubine was really stupid. ”

The more Qin Yuan spoke, the more sad and indignant she became, and after hearing this, Concubine Xiang hurriedly refuted indignantly, "You lie! There is no poison in the turtle jelly that this concubine gave you! On weekdays, except for Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai, you don't let any subordinates serve you closely, why is it Chun Tao who was poisoned today, instead of Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai? You must have sent someone to do something inside. ”

"The concubine has been sick for the past few days, so she sent a spring peach to serve her closely, and the turtle Ling paste you sent has been kept in the dormitory without moving, and the concubine and the auspicious concubine have no grievances, why do you want to harm you?"

At this time, Zhang Dehai, who was standing on the side, sneered, "Yo, Xianggui Concubine Niangniang lives in Yuxiu Palace, and she actually knows so much about Yonghua Palace, and even knows about Concubine Hui not letting others get close." ”

Concubine Xiang glanced at Zhang Dehai angrily, and said angrily, "This concubine is talking to your master, which round will get your dog slave to interject?" ”

Seeing that Concubine Xiang was so arrogant, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and said in a loud voice, "Okay! Xiang Gui Concubine, you know very well how you grief your family, and now you have lost the right to take charge of Yuxiu Palace, it is entirely because you can't control your mouth and chew the root of Hui Concubine's tongue behind your back, how can you design to frame Hui Concubine. ”

The Queen Mother's opening to the point made the atmosphere in the cabinet much heavier, and the Xianggui Concubine knelt down, her eyes full of tears, and said aggrievedly, "The concubine did not poison the turtle jelly, please let the Queen Mother know it." ”

The emperor sat upright, and said angrily, "Concubine Xiang, you said that Concubine Hui moved her hands and feet in the turtle ling, do you have any evidence?" We must pay attention to evidence in everything, and now that the evidence is in front of me, how can you tell me and the Queen Mother to believe you? I thought that you lost the imperial heir, and tolerated you everywhere, but I didn't expect it to hurt you, and I was disrespectful to the Queen Mother and rude to Hui Concubine, because you were open-mouthed, I revoked your right to take charge of Yuxiu Palace to warn, but you resented the noble concubine because of this, and dared to poison and harm Hui Concubine! ”

Tears came out of Xianggui's eyes in an instant, and she knelt down and crawled to the feet of Qingcang and begged, "Your Majesty, please believe in the concubine, the concubine is not poisoned, Your Majesty." ”

The Queen Mother's tone was still cold, "Xiang Gui Concubine, how do you associate Yuxiu Palace, the mourning family and the emperor can see it in your eyes, you should know very well, if it weren't for your slippery tire, how could you be the position of Xiang Concubine, and how could you have the right to be in charge of Yuxiu Palace?" People are to be content, and jealousy and hatred will lead to great mistakes. ”

Qing Cang's face was solemn, and he opened his mouth to proclaim, "Concubine Xiang wantonly murdered Concubine Hui, her heart is vicious, and the woman is at a loss, so she is entrusted with a respectful position, and since then she has been in the cold palace to think about it." ”

Concubine Xiang was frightened when she heard this, and the tears in her eyes fell and cried and shouted, "Your Majesty, please believe in your concubines, don't treat your concubines like this, Your Majesty...... The emperor wants to be clear, the concubine is wronged, the emperor ......", the emperor didn't look at Xiang Guifei, and said extremely tiredly, "Come on, take Xiang Guifei down and enter the cold palace!" ”

At this time, two eunuchs walked in from outside the door and pulled Xiang Gui Concubine down, Xiang Gui Concubine struggled and cried, "The emperor is clear, the emperor ......", the eunuch drove Xiang Gui Concubine's arm strongly, and pulled out of the coffin like a rag, and the cry gradually passed away.

Qin Yuan tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand at this time, and silently thought in her heart: Qin Ling, your Qiu Qinyuan has avenged you, you can be comfortable.

Thinking of going down today to see Qin Ling's embarrassed state, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes in an instant, Qing Cang hugged Qin Yuan's shoulders and comforted, "Yuan'er, with me here, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance." ”

The Queen Mother pointed to the spring peach on the ground and ordered, "Quickly clean up here." Zhang Dehai instructed his subordinates to drag Chun Tao's body out of the body, and everyone began to move.

At this time, the queen mother said, "It's late at night, the mourning family will go back to the palace first, Yuan'er is frightened a lot tonight, and the emperor will be by Yuan'er's side." After hearing this, Qin Yuan hurriedly got up and saluted, "The concubine sends the queen mother." ”

When the Queen Mother came out of the cabinet, Qing Cang took Qin Yuan's slender hand and asked with concern, "Yuan'er is scared?" Qin Yuan was really frightened a lot tonight, and her face was even paler at the moment, "The emperor should go to the dormitory with his concubine, Yuan'er doesn't want to stay here." ”

The emperor nodded slightly, "Okay." The two walked out of the cabinet holding hands and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

At this time, the Queen Mother held the stove and sat on top of the Eight Phoenixes, Aunt Liu followed the Phoenix Rim, looked at the Queen Mother's somewhat tired appearance, and asked with concern, "The Queen Mother is a little tired?" After holding on for a while, you will soon arrive at Fushou Palace. ”

The Queen Mother took a heavy breath and said in a solemn tone, "It's not that the mourning family is tired, it's just that things happened suddenly tonight, and I didn't expect it." ”

"No, the slave was also startled at the time." , Aunt Liu immediately looked at the Queen Mother's expression, and said in a tentative tone, "Concubine Xiang is really stupid, she actually poisoned the turtle paste given to Concubine Hui, isn't it three hundred taels of silver here." ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth immediately raised, and she said with deep meaning, "Regardless of whether Concubine Xiang is really stupid or not, after all, she still entered the cold palace, and Concubine Xiang's today is a matter of time." Aunt Liu looked around, and said in a petite voice, "The slave maid heard that Concubine Hui went to Concubine Ru this afternoon." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother's color instantly turned serious, and after a little thought, the corners of her mouth curled into a satisfied smile, "The mourning family didn't see the wrong person after all." ”
