The last sentence shocked the half-believing Yinzhen, yes, Ping'er is just a girl, she is soft-spoken, if it is not the truth, she doesn't need to say this at all, it is not good for her at all.

Seeing the increasingly suspicious look in Yinzhen's eyes, Nala was flustered, and hurriedly pointed at Ping'er and said, "Who knows if you were instructed by someone to deliberately harm this palace!" ”

Xiao Ningzi also kowtowed on the side and said: "Your Majesty, the master has always been gentle and has been by your side for many years, how could you do such a vicious thing, you must not listen to the villain's slander and wronged the master." ”

Concubine Qin said on the side: "Your Majesty, I have a few words I want to ask Xiao Ningzi, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

To Concubine Qin, Yin Zhen has always been polite, and nodded immediately: "Just ask, concubine." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saluting Yinzhen, Concubine Qin looked at Nala Shi, whose face was unusually pale under the light, and said: "Queen Mother, you keep saying that Ping'er was instructed by someone to deliberately harm you, I don't know who you mean by that person, am I or Concubine Xi?" ”

Nala sneered and said, "This should be asked to the person who did the evil thing, how does this palace know." ”

"Since Concubine Xi entered the palace, she has never seen Ping'er again, and she can't tell Ping'er what to do at all, as for my ......" Concubine Qin shook her head and said: "I am the concubine, Niangniang, you are the queen, I have no intersection with you at all, and there is no conflict of interest, what are you trying to do?" ”

Nala said in a cool voice: "How does this palace know what the concubine is thinking, maybe the concubine has some ulterior motives." ”

Concubine Qin stopped talking, because what she was going to say had already been said, and then it would depend on how Yinzhen decided, but looking at the situation, it was impossible for the Nala clan to retreat with her whole body, and it was best to hurt her so much that she couldn't get up in her life, so as to avenge her for wanting to harm Yunli.

After Concubine Qin finished speaking, the huge main hall fell into an unbearable silence, and the candle flame burned quietly, pulling out a long black shadow behind everyone......

After a long time, a voice finally broke the suffocating tranquility, but it also made Nala's heart sink even more, "Queen, you were in the Heart Cultivation Hall before, did you say those words on purpose?" ”

Nala said with a sad face: "The emperor asked this, just believed Ping'er's words, thinking that the concubine had the intention to harm Concubine Xi and Prince Guo?" The concubines didn't want to say it before, it was the emperor who insisted on the concubines to say it, but now they feel that the concubines are deliberate, and the concubines are really wronged. ”

"Really?" Yin Zhen's eyes swept and said: "You said that Lao Seventeen risked his life to pick perilla grass, which made Jiarou survive, this sentence is enough to arouse my curiosity and let me ask you what happened." I didn't think at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, maybe everything was a plan you set, in order to make me suspicious of the concubine and the old seventeen! ”

Listening to his words, Nala became more and more frightened, and she could no longer control the expression on her face, but one thing she knew very well was that it was absolutely ...... must not admit it, otherwise the road behind her will be immediately blocked, so that she has no way back.

She wept and said: "There are really no concubines, how can the emperor believe in the concubines?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't know how to believe it, everything is because of the queen's words, but now, the queen says that it has nothing to do with you......" Speaking of this, Yinzhen chuckled, but there was no smile in his eyes, but it was cold.

Nala said sadly: "Could it be that in the emperor's heart, the words of a concubine are not as credible as a slave and maid?" If that's the case, dare to ask the emperor, what is the concubine and your husband and wife for more than 30 years, is it a joke? Or do you not treat your concubines as wives at all? ”

Yin Zhen smiled, looked at her expressionlessly and said, "You don't have to say this, I only know the truth, what you say may not be the truth, and what Ping'er said may not be a lie." ”

Nala smiled sadly, "It seems that no matter what the concubine says, the emperor will not believe it anymore." ”

Without waiting for Yinzhen to speak, Xiao Ningzi came to him on his knees, kowtowed vigorously and said, "Your Majesty, the master has really never had the intention of harming others, you must believe in the master." Everything is not good for slaves, if it weren't for the slaves' mouths, the master wouldn't know about it, let alone mention it in front of the emperor, if the emperor has to deal with it, please dispose of the slave, don't doubt the master anymore! ”

Yin Zhen ignored him, just stared at the Nala clan with cold eyes, today's matter, although only Ping'er said the words, there is no other evidence, but thinking about those clues, the Nala clan is undoubtedly the most suspicious.

After a long time, he suddenly said: "Queen, you don't like my love for Concubine Xi very much, do you?" ”

Nala's mind turned quickly, and he knew that what he said next was very crucial, and it would even affect Yinzhen's opinion of himself, "Your Majesty, do you remember what you said when you told your concubine Xi Guifei to return to the palace?" Without waiting for Yinzhen to speak, she continued: "The concubine said that as long as the emperor said a word, the concubine would be willing to give away the queen's position, and there would be no complaints." Let me ask the emperor, since even the position of queen can be given to Concubine Xi, why do the concubines have to do so many things to wronged Concubine Xi? In order to compete for favor with Concubine Xi? Oh, the emperor's favor is not a day or two, if the concubine is harmed, it will be harmed a long time ago, why wait until today? ”

Her words made Yinzhen's heart shake a little, it is true that what Nala said was the truth, even he couldn't refute it, but it didn't mean that the doubt in his heart disappeared.

Seeing that Yinzhen didn't speak, Concubine Qin was afraid that he would believe Nala's words, so she hurriedly glanced at Ping'er, although Ping'er didn't want to say anything more, but now she has completely offended the queen, and if she wants to get out safely, she can only rely on Concubine Qin, and if she just lets the queen get out like this, she can't tell when she will change her way to take her own life, so she can only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, you believe in the slave maid, every word the slave and maid say is true, there is no half a lie, otherwise the slave and maid will not die well!" ”

Xiao Ningzi said in a loud voice on the side: "Ping'er, the master has always treated you well, and he also rewarded you with a summer coat, don't you feel uneasy about your conscience if you defile the master like this?" ”

"I ......" Ping'er was about to say, but Yinzhen was already impatiently shouting: "Okay, what are you yelling about!" ”

As soon as he spoke, no one dared to say anything more, they all lowered their heads one by one, waiting for Yinzhen's next words, the most nervous of them was Nala's, she didn't even know if her nails were pinched into her palms, she didn't know whether Yinzhen would believe in herself, or Ping'er, a maid.

Yin Zhen's gaze paused for a long time on the Nala clan before he said, "Queen, I also want to believe you, but I ...... Can't do it! ”
