Concubine Li was so anxious that she was dripping with cold sweat, and she said bitterly: "The concubine is wronged!" The queen mother! The concubine is really wronged! Why did the concubine ruin Xu Xiunu's appearance? She is just a beautiful girl, and the concubine is the fourth concubine, are you afraid that she will hinder me or anything? Besides, if Luo Jue really wanted to harm people with lemon root powder, how could he not destroy the evidence afterwards and stay in his room to bury the troubles? Ask the queen to see clearly! ”

At this time, Luo Jue seemed to understand a little, and immediately said: "Queen Mother, the slave is wronged!" The minions didn't do anything! I don't know where that lemon root powder slave came from! Someone must have planted it! Ask for a mother's knowledge! ”

The queen put down the teacup heavily: "Are you saying that this palace has framed you?" It's Hongu people who are searching your room! ”

"Slaves don't dare! The minions are really wronged! The minions didn't do anything! The slave slept until he slept and didn't do anything! As for the lemon root powder, the minions really don't know where they came from! ”

Yao Duran said: "I want to cover it!" After everything needs to be done, go back and hide in the room and pretend to sleep, do you hide people's eyes? ”

Concubine Li had no time to pay attention to her, and hurriedly appealed to the queen: "Queen Mother, the concubine is wronged!" The concubine didn't instruct Luo Jue to do this disfiguring thing! ”

Yao Duran saw that their master and servant were dead and refused to admit it, so she said: "Queen Mother, Sister Concubine Li is the biological mother of the eldest princess, and if she keeps shouting injustice, she can't be easily convicted." It's better to send Luo Jue to the criminal prison for interrogation, and see if you can return Sister Lifei's innocence. ”

When Concubine Li heard this, her heart shook suddenly, and she immediately lost her voice: "No!" ”

Everyone was stunned, staring at her and Luo Jue back and forth.

Concubine Li lowered her beautiful eyes, hiding the anxiety and contradiction in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, and when she looked up again, her face was as resolute as ice: "Queen Mother, it's just that!" The concubine confessed! It was the concubine who bribed Cai Wei and deliberately made the princess sick! It was the concubine who sent Luo Jue to Fangfei Palace to disfigure Xu Xiunu! The concubines are all recognized! ”

As soon as Concubine Li's words came out, Luo Jue also lowered her head and stopped shouting injustice.

Yao Duran sneered in her heart, not without pride in her heart, she really got the right medicine for the situation.

And at this end, Concubine Jing's face became more and more cold as frost: "This is recognized again?" Scold! It's good to admit it, it's good to admit it. ”

Yao Duran looked at her, and suddenly couldn't understand Concubine Jing at this time.

When the queen saw that she finally recognized her, she glanced around this time, and her face was dignified.

"Concubine Li, Yu's virtue is corrupt, and she has made two mistakes today! First, in order to get the princess back, he bribed Cai Wei to make the princess sick! Second, instructed Luo Jue to ruin Xu Xiunu's appearance with lemon root powder! Above, the human and physical evidence is complete! Li Shun! Go to the imperial study and ask Your Majesty to judge, how to deal with such a concubine! ”

"Yes!" Li Shun took the order and went out again.

The hall was silent, there was no more shouting of grievances, and everyone was just waiting for the king's side of the holy judgment.

As a result, I waited and waited, and finally waited for a report.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

When everyone heard this, they all got up and knelt down facing the temple gate, and the few people kneeling in the middle also hurriedly retreated to the side.

A slender figure strode in.

Huo Jingcheng didn't even wear a dragon robe today, but wore a black slim suit, with powerful flying shoulders on both sides, silver bracers on both arms, and a silver belt on his narrow waist, with no ornaments on it, simple and concise. A black hair is set in a white jade inlaid with gold trim hair crown, and a two-dragon grabbing pearl gold wipe on the forehead is tied on the forehead, and there are hidden pockets on both sides of the forehead horn on the way to wipe the forehead, which contains refreshing herbal powder. This outfit makes him mighty and cool, and his complexion is so fair and bright, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his eyes are like night, noble and Qinghua, handsome and incomparable.

Xu Huanyan looked straight for a while, forgetting to cry and forgetting the pain in her hands, and she didn't come back to her senses until everyone got up and saluted.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty—"

"No courtesy." Huo Jingcheng walked like the wind, his robe fluttered slowly, passed the crowd on both sides, walked straight up the steps, and sat down on the top seat.

The queen personally poured tea for him, handed it to both hands, and asked casually, "Why is Your Majesty dressed like this today?" ”

Huo Jingcheng's mood was obviously a little bad, and he took the teacup and said in a deep voice: "This morning, I invited a few young courtiers and some children of the family to Shanglin Yuan to race horses, but as soon as I changed my clothes, the drama on your side began to sing!" ”

The queen slowly knelt down: "The concubines have no way to govern the harem, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

"Okay, okay, get up and talk about things!" Huo Jingcheng frowned and put down the teacup.

The queen was helped up by Ruomei and told him what had happened. Xu Xiunu recognized her eyes now, and when the queen finished speaking, she hurriedly left her seat and knelt in the middle, showed her hands to Huo Jingcheng, and said pitifully: "Please let Your Majesty be the master of the courtiers." ”

Huo Jingcheng frowned, then looked at Concubine Li, and asked, "Concubine Li, do you recognize these two things?" ”

Concubine Li's face was full of sorrow, and she immediately stepped up the steps, knelt down in front of his seat, and cried on his lap: "Your Majesty...... Whining...... Your Majesty, save your concubines......"

Huo Jingcheng frowned and looked down: "Looking at you like this, is it possible that there is a grievance?" ”

Concubine Li raised her teary face and nodded: "Your Majesty, the concubine admitted the matter of causing the princess to be sick, and the concubine just wanted Shuang'er to return to the concubine earlier." However, it's Xu Xiunu's business...... Woo woo, it's nothing, the concubine also admits it! Woo-woo-"

Huo Jingcheng's sword eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Why do you speak without a preface and a remark?" Can't you tell the truth in front of me? ”

Concubine Li wept for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have all confessed, please condemn Your Majesty!" So saying, she left him and fell to her knees and bowed her head.

Huo Jingcheng looked at her for a long time, and a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes: "Okay, what a concubine, you are really capable." ”

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Li wanted to complain.

Huo Jingcheng pondered for a moment and said, "Since you admit it, then accept the guilt." Concubine Li, Yu, was degraded to a nobleman, and was confined to Li Gong for two years, during which no one was allowed to enter the palace to visit. ”

Concubine Li was overjoyed, knowing that he had shown mercy to Shuang'er's face, and said that no one was allowed to visit inside, which also ensured her safety. Such a result is a blessing in misfortune! She immediately kowtowed: "Concubine thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a rather fierce shout suddenly came from the seat: "Your Majesty! ”

Yao Duran followed the sound and saw that it was Concubine Jing! Concubine Jing had already left her seat and knelt down at the foot of the steps, her emotions were unusually intense, full of dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty! How long will you protect her? Is your heart so biased? ”

As soon as Concubine Jing said this, Yao Duran was secretly startled, but she didn't expect that at this time, she would stand up and make a bold statement.

Here, Huo Jingcheng was also surprised, and after returning to his senses, Jun's face was cold, and he asked, "Concubine Jing, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Concubine Jing said fearlessly: "Of course the concubine knows what she is talking about!" Your Majesty, Concubine Li is so partial just because she gave birth to the eldest princess? Concubine Li is so immoral, but is it just such a painless punishment? And two years from now? Let her out and continue to make waves? ”

When Yao Duran heard this, she was secretly surprised again! Why is Concubine Jing so excited today? Dare to accuse Huo Jingcheng in public?

"Your Majesty! Also, before you came, Concubine Li didn't admit it, but when we proposed to send Luo Jue to the prison, she immediately changed her mind and admitted everything! Why? It's not that I've done too much of the bad things in the past, I'm afraid that Luo Jue will vomit it out to her as soon as she enters the prison prison! She could only admit that the light one was exempt from the heavy one, and then she knocked out her teeth and swallowed blood! ”

"Oh?" Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes and looked at Concubine Li: "No wonder you are so embarrassed for a long time, so that's the case?" ”

Concubine Li retorted: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is nothing! ”

Concubine Jing said: "Then, Your Majesty will send Luo Jue to the prison prison!" ”

Concubine Li turned her eyes sharply and looked at each other: "Concubine Jing!" Shut up! Are you really insidious? The surface is indifferent, and at this time, I will take the opportunity to fall into the well! ”

Concubine Jing sneered: "Are you doing it properly?" When it comes to insidiousness, I'm really half as good as you! When I had a miscarriage of my first child, isn't it your masterpiece!! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Yao Duran immediately looked at Concubine Jing, but saw that there was hatred in her eyes, and there was no calmness in her. Only then did she realize that her hostility towards Concubine Li originated here! After many years of forbearance and forbearance, she was finally willing to dig out the old wounds in her heart at this time to settle the score.

Concubine Li said angrily: "You don't spray people with blood!" I ......"

"Shut up!" Huo Jingcheng interrupted her, looked at Concubine Jing with a handsome face, and said, "Concubine Jing, you go on." ”

Concubine Jing's beautiful eyes were half drooping, and two lines of tears fell: "Nine years ago, Your Majesty was still the King of the Six Sages, and before he entered the East Palace, that year, the concubine and Concubine Li married into the palace together. Before she had Huai Yishuang, the concubine was pregnant. At that time, His Majesty only had the eldest prince under his knees, and the concubines all wanted to be the first to have a child after the queen's mother, ranking second, which means that good things come in pairs, and it is the first child of His Majesty to be crowned the queen of Xian, which is of great significance! As a result, the concubine was fortunate to be pregnant with His Majesty's second son, and Concubine Li was not angry in her heart! The thieves in the palace back then were not the scenes of Concubine Li's thieves shouting to catch the thieves? ”

Huo Jingcheng thought thoughtfully: "Go on." ”

Concubine Jing continued: "Back then, Concubine Li cried and cried in public to complain to the queen's mother, saying that there were thieves in her courtyard at night, and she also described the sound and color! Her palace people also said yes again and again. But when the queen asked, she told the palace people that in the middle of the night, no one saw the thief's appearance, only said that it was a dark shadow. In this way, there is no evidence or clues to check on this matter. As a result, a few days later, the concubine's courtyard was also broken into by thieves in the middle of the night, and when the concubine opened her eyes, there was a black shadow standing at the head of the bed, and she was immediately frightened, and she was frightened and had a miscarriage! ”

Later, the black shadow escaped without a trace, and finding it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the matter was finally closed, and it became a headless case. But after the concubine slowly calmed down, the doubts in her heart became stronger and stronger! The concubine suspects that this is Concubine Li shouting to catch the thief! She first made a fuss about the thief and drove everyone to have a preconceived idea! Then send the real thief to the concubine! After the concubine's courtyard was robbed, everything was taken for granted! Everyone also had a preconceived idea that it was a thief, not a deliberate murder! It's just that in the eyes of the concubine, her move to avoid suspicion is to cover up! Whether it's a real thief or a fake thief, it's just her single-handedly planned! She successfully removed the child from the concubine's womb, and she successfully gave birth to His Majesty's eldest daughter! ”
