Thinking of this, Xu hurriedly said: "If you go back to Niangniang, is it ...... It's a humble concubine. ”

Liu, who was kneeling there, heard her words, and was stunned at first, and then immediately understood her intentions, it was undoubtedly unwise to confess the queen at this time, not only did it not benefit at all, but it would also cut off his own way back.

And so it was...... Ling Ruo sighed silently, as early as when she set up this plan, she knew that this net could only catch the Liu clan and the Xu clan at most, and a big fish like the Nala clan could not be caught, and this was indeed the case.

Yin Zhen stared at the two of them, gritted his teeth and said: "One uses his son as bait to harm others, and the other is to distinguish between right and wrong, helping her to harm others, you two are really bold!" ”

Liu wept and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't want to, it's just that Qi Jia's family relies on the support of Concubine Xi, targets concubines everywhere, and doesn't put concubines in their eyes, concubines and concubines have said several times to Concubine Xi, but the concubine Niangniang knows about Qi Jia's evil deeds, but she has always been deliberately frank and allowed her to bully her concubines." The concubine was helpless to make this decision. In fact, after the incident, the concubine regretted it, but at that time, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, except for the mistake all the time, there was no second way for the concubine to choose. ”

Yin Zhen sneered: "According to what you say, it's the Guifei and Yan Guiren who are wrong?" ”

"Yes." Now, the Liu family has nothing to dare to say, because she is already in the place of death at the moment, "If the concubine was willing to stop Yan Guiren's behavior a little, the concubine would not have taken this road, Hongzhan is the son of the concubine, do you think the concubine will use him as bait, and the concubine's heart will not hurt?" But if the concubine doesn't do anything, the Yan nobles will become more and more excessive, and then the concubine and Hongzhan will not even have a place to stay. Concubines can not think about themselves, but they can't help but think about Hongzhan! She knew that Yinzhen didn't have too deep feelings for her, and only Hongzhan was her lifesaver.

At this time, Xu also thought about his rhetoric and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the concubine does not have any benefits for Concubine Xu, the concubine can't bear to see her mother and son separated, so she will agree to help, and the concubine knows that she is wrong, and asks the emperor for forgiveness!" ”

Although both of them spoke very well, Yin Zhen was such an easy person to fool, and sneered: "Concubine Qian, if you really feel sorry for Hongzhan, you won't be indifferent after doing so much to hurt him, what you really value is not Hongzhan at all, but yourself, with a mother like you, it's really Hongzhan's misfortune!" ”

Liu said eagerly: "The concubine is not, the emperor, the concubine is not the kind of person you imagine, the concubine is really for Hongzhan ......"

"Okay, I don't want to hear you tell a bunch of lies anymore, from this moment on, I will abolish your concubine, reduce it to a promise, and move out of the main hall of Yongshou Palace." Although Yinzhen hated Liu's behavior very much, for Hongzhan's sake, he was merciful after all.

"Thank you...... Emperor's Grace! Liu trembled and kowtowed in thanksgiving, fortunately...... Fortunately, Yinzhen did not take Hongzhan away, as long as Hongzhan is there, she still has a chance to recover.

As soon as Liu's thought fell, Yinzhen's voice came to his ears again, "Since you are no longer a concubine, you can't raise Hongzhan anymore according to the palace rules, Sixi, and send the sixth elder brother to the elder brother later, without my will, he is not allowed to meet with Liu." ”

"Don't! The emperor doesn't! Liu knelt down and climbed the steps, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine swears that she will never do such a thing again in the future, please don't take Hongzhan away, the concubine is the only one left with him, he is the son of the concubine, and the concubine can't live without him!" ”

Yin Zhen got up and walked in front of her, and said in disgust: "I thought you had forgotten that Hongzhan was born to you, if you remembered, how could you hurt him again and again, how could you bear to let him suffer at a young age?!" ”

"The concubine really knows her mistake, your majesty, you forgive the concubine once, the concubine will treat Hongzhan well, don't let him be hurt a little more, and the concubine will be a good lady." Facing Liu's words, Yin Zhen shook his head and said, "I want to believe you very much, but ...... I can't do it! ”

"Your Majesty ......" As soon as Liu Shi spit out two words, Yinzhen interrupted sharply: "If you ask again, I will send you to the cold palace immediately!" ”

Facing Yinzhen's slightly hideous face, Liu didn't dare to say more, but couldn't help lowering his head and sobbing, when Yinzhen turned his gaze to Xu, the latter immediately lowered his head in a panic, not daring to look at him.

She can avoid Yinzhen's gaze, but she can't avoid the punishment that befalls her, "You helped the Liu family to do evil together, the sin is unforgivable!" I degraded you as an official woman, and was responsible for serving tea and pouring water in the palace. ”

"Thank you...... Emperor's Grace! Xu Shi spit out these words with difficulty, and her heart was almost vomiting blood, although she was in a low position before, but she was the master, but the official woman was as low as a palace maid, not only no one waited, but also waited for people in turn.

After disposing of the two, Yinzhen waved his hand to signal them to retreat, and Sixi also left with him, in addition to taking back Liu's golden book, he was also responsible for carrying Hongzhan to the elder brother's office.

After the door of the palace was closed again, Yin Zhen sighed heavily, there was indescribable disappointment in his eyes, he had always thought that Liu was a gentle and indisputable woman, just like Wen Ruyan in the past, but now it seems that he took it for granted.

"Your Majesty......" Ling Ruo was about to speak, Yin Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to do, I'm just a little emotional." By the way, although Hongzhan's matter has nothing to do with Qi Jia's family, the Liu family will use Hongzhan to harm her so extremely, presumably there are indeed some problems with her behavior, you have to talk about her well. ”

"The concubine knows the way." Even if Yin Zhen doesn't mention this matter, Ling Ruo will do it, Qi Jia's task has been completed, and it won't do her any good to be arrogant like this, and Ling Ruo won't help her like this anymore, but after all, whether Qi Jia's can listen to it is another matter.

Yin Zhen said with a bow: "Okay, you can go back too, I originally wanted to go to your place for dinner in the evening, but now it seems that I have to change the day." ”

Ling Ruo said guiltily: "It's because the concubine is not good, she failed to deal with this matter, so that Liu promised to make trouble in front of the emperor three or four times." ”

Yin Zhen comforted: "I haven't blamed you, don't blame yourself, let what has happened pass, there's no point in dwelling on it." ”

"Yes, the concubine retired." Coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ling Ruo slowly exhaled the breath that had been held in her chest for a long time, what happened just now, although she had seven or eight percent of her hands, she still pinched a cold sweat, if the Xu family did not appear, she would lose the bet, and there was no chance to let the Liu family show her true face. Luckily, things went well.
