Concubine Shu screamed and cried hoarsely, Huo Jingcheng didn't want to listen anymore, waved his hand violently, and several attendants quickly restrained her, dragged her out of the imperial study, and escorted her to Shuhua Palace.

"Ahh I'm not alive!! I want to prove my innocence by death!! Your Majesty - the concubine will die to show you!! ”

Her desperate screams were still unanswered, and they grew farther and farther away, more and more powerless......

In the imperial study, Qin An looked at the phoenix robe in his hand and said carefully: "Your Majesty, what about this phoenix rob......e?"

Huo Jingcheng didn't look at it: "It's burning immediately!" ”

"Yes, yes." Qin An also went out with his clothes.

When the imperial study was completely quiet, Yao Duran said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged. ”

Huo Jingcheng exhaled heavily and said, "I know. She has already felt something, since the queen left the palace, she has been alive, leading Yilan to come to the imperial study often, and has put a lot of effort on my side, I know that I don't want to say anything. So right now, she should be like this disaster in the phoenix robe! ”

Yao Duran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

After returning to the Wanton Palace, Fuquan greeted him and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, what happened?" ”

Yao Duran smiled at the corners of her lips: "I was demoted to the position of a last-class beauty, and I can't come out of Shuhua Palace without an edict, and I will be like that for the rest of my life, I will not die or live." ”

Fu Quanxi said: "Great! It's not in vain that Niangniang has planned a few times. ”

Yao Duran said: "By the way, what about Xu Meiren? Can you be divided? ”

Fuquan nodded: "She is in peace, she stays in the Splendid Pavilion all day and rarely goes out." Of course, Xiao Nianzi also followed Niangniang's instructions and monitored her all day long. ”

Yao Duran said casually: "Well, I'm in a good mood today, let's go, go and see her." ”

The Splendid Pavilion is not spacious, Yao Duran walked in, he was luxurious and bright, and the pavilion seemed to be depressed and narrow.

Xu Huanyan was pruning a pot of flowers at the table, and when she came in, she hurriedly put down the scissors and came forward to salute.

"No courtesy." Yao Duran said, slowly came to the table, picked up her scissors, and only listened to a few sounds of "click, click, click", the few flowers in the pot had been cut off by her, and there were only three intact flowers left in the pot.

Xu Huanyan was surprised: "Niangniang...... You're ......"

Yao Duran stared at the flower pot, her beautiful eyes were cold, and she said something vague and unclear lightly.

"Sister Xu, look, in fact, this pot of flowers is like a harem concubine, all of them bloom beautifully on the surface, but if any flower is broken inside, it can also be seen, and the palace will cut it without hesitation."

Xu Huanyan looked at her like this cold and mysterious, and felt uneasy: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

"This camellia, the leaf tips are yellow, it should be cut. This moon season has lost its fragrance and should be cut. There is also this flower, the palace has forgotten what its name is, so let's call it Huanyan Flower for the time being, this Huanyan flower, the stamens are dry and dark, obviously the heart is broken, and it should be cut. ”

When Xu Huanyan heard the last sentence, his heart was shocked, and his voice trembled a little: "Niangniang, you ...... What are you talking about? ”

Yao Duran didn't look at her, and sat down leisurely: "By the way, sister, this palace hasn't told you a good news yet." ”

"Mother, what's the good news?"

Yao Duyun said lightly: "Concubine Shu has been demoted to a beauty by His Majesty, and she has been confined in Shuhua Palace, and she cannot be released without an edict." ”

"What?" Xu Huanyan was shocked by the news.

Yao Duran smiled and looked at her with beautiful eyes: "This news is true, it is a matter of Fang Cai." Naturally, this palace wants to thank you well, it was you who told Concubine Shu of this palace to make a phoenix robe, so this palace went to report it in front of His Majesty, and just like that, the phoenix robe was found in her palace, and His Majesty condemned her. ”

Xu Huanyan couldn't come back to his senses, fell into a fog, and muttered with beautiful eyes: "But...... But ......"

Yao Duran interrupted her: "But what? But Concubine Shu didn't make a phoenix robe at all, so how could she find a phoenix robe? Is that right? ”

Xu Huanyan woke up suddenly, his face full of panic: "Niangniang......"

Yao Duran smiled at the corner of her lips: "What? Don't understand what Hongu is talking about? Scold! Sister Xu, according to what the palace said, you are like a mirror in your heart, why bother pretending to be confused? ”

Xu Huanyan nervously straightened his throat: "Niangniang...... The concubine did not ...... didn't pretend to be confused, the concubine didn't know anything......"

Yao Duran sneered, and said something clearly.

"Then this palace will let you know. Xu Huanyan, you have long been a member of Concubine Shu's party, and you were coaxed by Concubine Shu to make enemies of me. The two of you also did a good job of pretending, deliberately pretending to be discordant, one scolding, and the other enduring. It's just that on the day we went to Xiao Mansion with His Majesty, Concubine Jing woke me up after calling me to the courtyard, saying that the two of you may be acting, because Concubine Shu has always been kind to people in the Ming Dynasty, and even her subordinates are sympathetic, which even Your Majesty knows very well. So, how could she be so unkind to you, a beauty? Isn't that self-destructive? ”

With a "poof", Xu Huanyan sat down on the ground in shock.

Yao Duran stared at her and sneered faintly: "Later, it turned out that Concubine Shu was the one who hurt people, because a Qingfang with a broken head and bleeding came to the palace to complain, and Ning Zhaoyi was punished by the palace to Qingchenguan and has not come back until now." ”

"So, your fake show is actually full of flaws. Until that day, you came to see the palace, while begging the palace to help you win the holy favor, while crying and crying that you had a bad time in Shuhua Palace, so this palace tested you, saying that this palace can be the master to move you out of Shuhua Palace, but as a result, you refused this palace on the grounds that you were worried that Concubine Shu would intensify her revenge, it can be seen that it is just a fake show that is coaxing people, and you don't want to break up with Concubine Shu at all. Bengong finally firmly believed in Concubine Jing's words and decided that you were already Concubine Shu's person. Next, the palace will watch the fire from the other side and watch quietly, waiting quietly, and when you have enough foreshadowing for this play, there will always be a trick, right? ”

"Sure enough, you pretended to be frightened and ran to the palace, and told the palace that you saw Concubine Shu stealing the phoenix robe, and in order to make me believe in the realism of the play, you even did not hesitate to beg me to move you out of the Shuhua Palace. You must have thought that I would be fooled, and then take you to your majesty to testify against Concubine Shu, saying that she was secretly wearing a phoenix robe. When His Majesty ordered someone to search Shuhua Palace, it turned out that he couldn't find any phoenix robes at all, because Concubine Shu didn't make phoenix robes at all, you just wanted to deceive the palace to falsely accuse her. After searching the palace to no avail, at this time, you turned against the palace again, biting the palace in front of His Majesty, saying that Concubine Shu had never made a phoenix robe to wear it secretly, and the palace had to force you to say so. Then at that time, it will be the notorious adulterous concubine of the palace who is calculating the concubine again in order to be the queen. ”

Xu Huanyan was stunned on the ground, staring at her like a ghost, with her mouth open but never able to spit out a word.

Yao Duran looked at her with a light smile: "Do you really want to ask, so where did the phoenix robe found in Shuhua Palace come from today?" ”

"Hehe, this is naturally out of nothing in this palace. After you came to the palace and said about the phoenix robe, the palace persuaded you not to make a noise, hide it for Concubine Shu, and agreed to let you live in the palace and let you go back to Shuhua Palace to pack your things. Then when you return to Shuhua Palace, you will naturally report to Concubine Shu truthfully, saying that the palace is not fooled and decided to hide it for her. In this way, this palace used your mouth to make Concubine Shu relax her vigilance. ”

Xu Huanyan stared at her stunned, and muttered, "You are so scary, you are so scary......"

Yao Duran flashed a gentle and harmless smile at her: "Do you know that this palace is terrible?" Silly sister, when you were used in this palace to deal with Concubine Li, you should have known that this palace was terrible? How dare you fall to Concubine Shu to calculate the palace? ”

Xu Huanyan's expression finally came alive a little, and his eyes looked at her without concealing hatred: "How did you blame the phoenix robe of Shuhua Palace?!" ”

Yao Duran sneered: "This is about to start with the banquet between the palace and His Majesty. Then yesterday, the palace invited the concubines to go to Shanglin Yuan to visit the garden, and the funny thing is that the two of you were still acting at the time, and Concubine Shu stabbed you a few words. Hongu snickered in his heart for a while. In the end, the palace invited Concubine Jing and Concubine Shu to the banquet together, and pretended to be embarrassed as a place to set up a banquet, and said that she didn't like to drink in the palace, so she coaxed Concubine Shu to take the initiative to take the banquet in her palace, and set it up in the open air as I wished, so the palace's plan was successfully completed. ”

"After the palace returned to the palace from Shanglin Yuan, he called Biya and Qingtang, and the three of us quickly embroidered the phoenix, and finally cut the two embroidered phoenixes along the shape, and when the palace went to Shuhua Palace to go to the banquet, Fuquan took the phoenix embroidery on his body."

"With His Majesty at the banquet, Concubine Shu will not dare to slack off, and when the time comes, all the people in the palace will be transferred to the banquet, so as to serve the holy driver properly. It just so happens that Concubine Shu's field is quite large, moving stoves, lighting fires, and hanging lanterns, maybe there are not enough people, so how can there be idlers left in the palace? So Fuquan and Qingtang took advantage of the fact that as soon as it was night, the two sneaked into Concubine Shu's dormitory, stole Concubine Shu's robe, and then hid in a secret place to sew the two phoenixes up, and finally secretly put them back in the palace. Of course, for fear that Concubine Shu would find the phoenix robe, she deliberately pressed the phoenix robe under the bed, even if Concubine Shu found that there was a piece of clothing missing in the wardrobe on the second day, it would be a trivial matter. ”

Xu Huanyan hissed violently: "You are so terrible! You are the devil!! ”

Yao Duran smiled: "There are even more terrifying things in this palace. At the banquet, the palace deliberately spilled the wine on his dress, and then opened his mouth to borrow clothes, and went to Concubine Shu's bedroom with Qingfang to change clothes, this trip was only for the second day of the palace to complain to His Majesty with reasonable evidence. Naturally, His Majesty ordered someone to search the palace, and in this way, Concubine Shu's phoenix robe was smoothly searched. ”

"You and Concubine Shu used the phoenix robe to calculate the palace, and the palace stabilized you, acted quietly, and confirmed the disaster of her phoenix robe, which is thanks to your reminder."

Xu Huanyan finally came to his senses.

Yao Duran got up and squatted down in front of her, raised her hand and pinched her chin, and asked, "Say, how did Concubine Shu coax you to change your mind and make you decide to be the enemy of this palace?" ”
