Liu's expression looked a little helpless, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being, although the palace doesn't want to admit it, but she does have to do the emperor's favor now, one sentence is more than countless sentences of others, it's not the palace or anyone can move, but the palace believes that as long as Qi Jia's family is convicted, she will have a reputation for being unfair and deliberately frank, and the queen can use this to try to take back the power in charge of the harem, which is also the reason why the queen is willing to help the palace, in the final analysis, she is for herself, but the palace didn't expect that Xu Yu would be the queen's person." It's really deep enough to hide. ”

In the afternoon, Haitang, who was in charge of inquiring outside, hurriedly walked in, saluted the Liu family, and said with a panicked expression: "Master, Concubine Xi has found an eyewitness." ”

"What?" Liu Shi got up in horror, stared at Haitang and said, "Didn't you say that no one saw you push Hongzhan, why did a witness suddenly appear." ”

Haitang said with a bitter face: "When the slave maid did it, he did look carefully at no one, and for some reason a witness suddenly appeared, I heard that the person was pruning flowers and trees in the imperial garden at that time, maybe because he bent over so the slave didn't see it." After telling everything she could inquire, she said nervously: "Master, this ...... What can I do about this? If Concubine Xi presents this person to the emperor, then our affairs will be all pierced. ”

"Okay, don't you think this palace is annoying enough?" Liu Shi reprimanded angrily and walked back and forth in the hall, damn it, I finally managed to get Hongzhan here, and suddenly another witness appeared, what should I do now.

After walking around, Liu said, "Where is this person now, has he been brought to the emperor?" ”

Haitang hurriedly said: "Not yet, I heard that Concubine Xi is still interrogating others, maybe she wants to find other witnesses and send them together." ”

Liu gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, go to Chengqian Palace with this palace, this palace wants to hear what that person saw." ”

"Master, slow down." Jin Gu stopped her and said, "Even if you pass now, Concubine Yixi's precautions against you will definitely not let you see that person, it's just an empty trip." ”

Liu Shi was very confused at this time, and said angrily: "Then you should tell me, what should I do?" ”

Jin Gu lowered her head and thought for a while and said, "According to what the slave maid sees, it is better to go and ask the queen mother to help her master think of a way." ”

Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you really think the queen can be trusted?" ”

"No, the slave doesn't believe in the queen." Jin Gu's answer surprised Liu very much, and before she could speak, Jin Gu said again: "But in this matter, I think she won't harm your master, otherwise she wouldn't have sent someone to say those words to her master last night." The person the queen wants to deal with most now is not you, the master, but Xi Guifei, so before Xi Guifei falls, the queen will not only not touch the master, but will also try her best to help you. ”

Liu Shi had been listening carefully, and after she finished speaking, she nodded slowly and said, "What you said makes some sense. Anyway, the palace went to see the queen, hoping that she could find a way. ”

When Liu arrived at Kunning Palace, Nala was taking a nap, and Liu waited in the side hall for a while before he saw Xiao Ningzi come out to spread the word, saying that Nala was awake and invited her in.

In the inner sanctum, Nala sat on a couch, and the cuckoo was half-kneeling on the ground, wearing flowerpot shoes embroidered with a phoenix wearing a peony pattern.

Seeing the Liu family coming in, the Nala clan said gently: "Concubine Qian is here, but there is good news to tell the palace?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my mother." Liu's words made the Nala clan look surprised, "What's the matter, it can't be that Concubine Xi really interrogated something, right?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, Concubine Xi Guifei found a person who was pruning flowers and trees in the imperial garden, and he saw the scene at that time." Liu's words made the Nala clan sink his eyebrows, and he got up with the cuckoo's hand and said coldly: "This palace has always thought that Concubine Qian is a cautious person, but I didn't expect to be so careless. ”

Liu hurriedly bowed his head and said: "It's all because Haitang is careless, the concubine must punish her well, but the most important thing at the moment is how to prevent this person from becoming a witness for Concubine Xi." Seeing that Nala didn't speak, she quickly knelt down and said: "Niangniang, the concubine really can't think of a way, so she will dare to come to Niangniang, and ask Niangniang to guide the concubine, so that the concubine can get through this difficulty." The mother is very gracious, and the concubine will repay her even if she is smeared in the future. ”

Nala's eyelids moved, and he bent down to help Liu and said, "It's not that this palace doesn't help you, but this matter is really tricky, and this palace can't think of a proper way for a while." ”

Liu wept and said: "The concubine understands, but except for the mother, the concubine really doesn't know who else to beg, and she asks the mother to have mercy." ”

After sighing, Nala said, "Xiao Ningzi, you go outside to inquire what the situation is at the other end of the Chengqian Palace." ”

"Yes." Xiao Ningzi bowed down and retreated, and only came back after more than half an hour, which was similar to what Liu said, but fortunately, Ling Ruo only found one witness, and never found the second one.

When Liu was anxious, Nala suddenly said, "Do you remember what Qi Jia's hand is carrying?" Bracelets or rings are fine. ”

Liu was surprised by Nala's question, but said truthfully: "The concubine remembers that it seems to be a string of jade beads, and a small golden gourd hangs from the bottom. ”

Nala nodded and said to Xiao Ningzi, who had just come back: "You go to Xu Promise and let her go to see the emperor before Concubine Xi, and say that although I didn't see who pushed it, I vaguely saw that there was a string of jade beads on that hand, so she didn't have to say it in too much detail, just be vague." If the emperor asked her why she didn't mention it before, she said that she was thinking of the friendship with Yan Guiren and couldn't bear to expose it, but she really couldn't stand the condemnation of her conscience afterwards, so she decided to confide the truth. ”

Xiao Ningzi understood that she wanted Xu to promise to be Liu's witness, and hesitated: "Master, in this way, Concubine Xi and Yan Guiren will know that Xu promised to be our people, and they can't get close to them anymore." ”

Nala sighed lightly and said, "This palace knows the way, but this is the only way, let's discuss the future affairs slowly." ”

After Xiao Ningzi went out, Liu put his mind at ease and said with a touched face: "Niangniang's great kindness, the concubine doesn't know how to repay it, but in the future, if the mother has instructions, the concubine will do her best and never give up." ”

Nala said gently: "Okay, don't say these unseen words, in this palace, if you can say a few words to this palace, you will be humbled by you, this palace doesn't want you to have anything." ”
