He knew very well that he must not admit it now, otherwise not only would he be dead, but Mo Er would be the same, and even Concubine Xi would suffer.

Seeing him, Yin Zhen was angry, kicked again, and scolded sharply: "Still lying, if it weren't for you, who else would there be, besides, someone has seen you and Mo Er say this with their own eyes, and it can't be fake!" ”

"The minions are really wronged!" Sixi knelt on the ground and couldn't stop kowtowing, and he didn't even dare to rub the painful place where he was kicked.

Just when Yinzhen was about to scold again, Nala said: "Your Majesty, there is only Sixi and one person who can't ask anything, it is better to send Mo Er to confront him, in addition, Mo Er is the person next to Concubine Xi, so simply invite Concubine Xi to come over too." ”

Yin Zhen was angry, and he didn't want to think about it, so he said: "It's okay, let Su Peisheng go to pass on Concubine Xi and Mo'er immediately!" ”

When waiting for Ling Ruo and them to come over, Yin Zhen asked Sixi several times, but Sixi insisted that he hadn't said anything, no matter whether he could be deceived or not, at least it would drag on for a moment.

When the sun shadow began to tilt westward, Su Peisheng knocked on the door outside and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi Niangniang and Mo'er are here, can you let them in now?" ”

"Come in!" Yin Zhen flicked his sleeves and sat down behind the imperial case, and at the same time, Su Peisheng cautiously pushed the door in, followed by Ling Ruo and Mo Er. Just as Su Peisheng was about to leave, Yin Zhen suddenly said, "You are staying, I have something to ask you." ”

Although Su Peisheng didn't know what happened in the hall just now, looking at Yinzhen's face and Sixi kneeling on the ground, he also knew that things were not good, so when he heard that he was going to stay, he secretly complained to himself, but he could only sit as he said and stand aside carefully.

Ling Ruo glanced at the Nala clan quietly, and then saluted Yinzhen with a calm expression: "I don't know why the emperor is in such a hurry to summon his concubines and Mo'er?" ”

Yin Zhen closed her eyes and tried her best to say in a calm voice: "Concubine Xi, the queen said that she had heard from the palace people that Sixi and Mo Er were secretly friends, and even became a vegetable household. Mo Er is your palace maid, I want to ask you, is there such a thing? ”

Before Ling Ruo could speak, Mo Er had already knelt down with a blank face, and shook his hands again and again, "Your Majesty, the slave and the maid have nothing to do with Father-in-law Xi, don't misunderstand." ”

Nala looked at Mo Er and said: "If it's really nothing, why are you so scared, it's clear that there is a ghost in your heart, it seems that the rumor is true." ”

"The queen mother made up her mind so quickly, it was too arbitrary." Ling Ruo's gaze swept over the Nala clan, and then stopped at Yinzhen, who had a gloomy face, and said in a cut voice: "Your Majesty, Mo Er is the person next to the concubine, and the concubine knows her very well, and there is absolutely no such thing as the queen said." ”

"Really?" There was a hint of coldness in Nala's eyes, "If it really doesn't matter, why did Sixi secretly tell Mo'er about the emperor's affairs, it is clear that the two have a lot to do with each other." ”

Ling Ruo pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why is the concubine more confused the more she listens, what did Sixi tell Mo'er?" ”

Seeing that she was still pretending to be confused at this time, Nala said coldly: "This, Concubine Xi should ask Mo Er, she knows best." ”

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Mo Er fell on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't know anything. ”

Nala didn't expect them to be so hard-mouthed, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and they wanted to find out but were afraid of annoying Yinzhen's dislike, and when they were embarrassed, Yinzhen opened his mouth and said: "Mo'er, I ask you, did Sixi tell you that I have been going to Jingren Palace often recently, and I have also seen Shumulu's family?" ”

Mo Er's body trembled, he didn't dare to raise his head, and whispered: "Father-in-law Xi has always been loyal to the emperor, how could he tell others about the emperor, and besides, the slave and the maid are not familiar with the father-in-law, what is he doing when he talks to the slave and the maid for no reason?" ”

Hearing her stiff-mouthed there, Nala said with a cold expression: "Mo'er, in front of the emperor, don't be sophistry, this palace has heard many people say that you are pulling and behaving misbehaps, are they all wronged you?" Also, if Sixi hadn't told you about the emperor, and thus was heard and spread out, who would it be, could it be Su Peisheng? Or is it to pull out another irrelevant person? ”

Hearing Nala mention his name, Su Peisheng hurriedly knelt down to defend himself, "Your Majesty, the slave has never told anyone anything, you must believe the slave!" ”

Yin Zhen ignored Su Peisheng, only stared at Ling Ruo to see how she explained, only to see Ling Ruo said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that eating has always been a taboo in the palace, although the concubine has asked for grace for Sanfu and Jade, but she will not think that from now on, she can let the palace people eat at will, especially the people around the concubine, it is the three orders and five declarations, and there will never be any deviation." ”

Nala said on the side: "Concubine Xi said so much, but she never explained why there were such rumors? ”

"There are many people in the palace, and occasionally someone sees the emperor's whereabouts, so it is not impossible to spread the word. As for Mo'er, the concubine has a way to prove that she has nothing to do with her father-in-law before. ”

Nala held back a sneer and said, "I don't know how Concubine Xi wants to prove it?" ”

Ling Ruo ignored her, but said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, as early as a few days ago, Mo Er begged the concubine, saying that she was getting older and wanted to go out of the palace to marry someone earlier, so as not to be lonely in the future, and the concubine took pity on her, so she agreed to her request, and just now the concubine also asked people to inform the Internal Affairs Office, and let Mo Er leave the palace tomorrow." If Mo Er really has a personal relationship with his father-in-law, how could he make such a request? ”

Ling Ruo's words were beyond the expectations of the Nala clan, how could he not have imagined that things would change like this, Yin Zhen was also surprised, but it was diametrically opposed to the Nala clan's thoughts, and he softened his voice slightly: "Is this true? ”

Ling Ruo said earnestly: "How dare the concubines deceive the emperor, if the emperor still doesn't believe it, you can send the head of the Internal Affairs Office to come and ask, to see if the concubines have informed them that Mo Er is going out of the palace before coming here, and even the concubines have asked them to prepare a set of folk wedding clothes, so that Mo Er can wear them when she gets married in the future." ”

Meeting Ling Ruo's calm and sincere eyes, Yin Zhen nodded and said, "You don't have to ask, I believe Concubine Xi's words." ”

While believing that Mo Er and Sixi had no personal relationship, Yin Zhen also accepted Ling Ruo's previous statement in his heart, thinking that it was not Sixi who passed the rumor, but that someone from the palace saw him go to Jingren Palace, and then passed the rumor.

Feeling the change in Yinzhen's attitude, Nala slowly became anxious, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the matter is too coincidental, and I just heard that Sixi is having an affair with Mo Er, and Concubine Xi immediately said that she wanted Mo Er to leave the palace, but it seems that she did it on purpose. ”

Yin Zhen stared at Nala and said, "According to the queen's meaning, what is not a coincidence?" ”

Hearing the displeasure in Yinzhen's words, Nala lowered his head and said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just afraid that someone will cover the sky with one hand and blind the saint." ”
