Walking out of Jingyang Palace, Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi immediately saw the imperial concubine Wan Yuyao kneeling on the ground outside the palace gate.

Her clothes and pants are plain white, her long black hair reaches the ground, and there is not a single jewel on her head, and she is crying at Emperor Jingxiao's grievances.

Seeing that the emperor crossed the threshold and went directly to the dragon chariot, she cried and shouted:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Is Sister Yu okay? It was the concubine who caused her to suffer, and the concubine should not be, she should not have made the decision to pass her to the palace of the concubine. Your Majesty, the crimes of the concubines are unforgivable, please ask the emperor to punish them heavily. ”

The woman immediately prostrated herself and kowtowed hard, and all of a sudden she slammed into the ground, causing the brick floor to "thump".

When she looked up again, she cried miserably.

On the sedan chair, the emperor closed his eyes and sighed, his face was solemn, and he said to the woman impatiently:

"Go back, if you make noise here any longer, you can only disturb Concubine Yu's recuperation, and I will thoroughly investigate this case overnight. If it is found out that it is indeed related to you, I will no longer care about you and me. If it has nothing to do with you, I will personally bring the real culprit to justice and restore your innocence. ”

"The concubine thanked the emperor."

The woman hid her face and sobbed.

Leng Qingtang stood at the end of the line with an unchanged face, and understood the conversation between the emperor and the concubine, and his mind and body were shocked for a while.

Wan Yuyao, not a scheming and vicious woman-

In the past, based on Leng Qingtang's understanding of her, the matter of Jingyang Palace must have been manipulated by her behind her back.

But she's very good at it.

According to common sense, if she wants to attack the pregnant Concubine Yu, she will not take the initiative to invite her to Yongning Palace as a guest, after all, Concubine Yu is expensive, and the women in the harem are used to avoiding it.

Now that Concubine Yu had an accident, Wan Yuyao came to take off the hairpin and ask for guilt, and put on a low posture of self-blame and repentance, which was to eliminate suspicion for herself and lock the second insurance, but instead taught everyone to think that the murderer must not be her!

On the side, Gu Yunxi's eyes were gloomy, cold as a knife, his delicate lips were pursed into a thin line, and he was staring at Wan Yuyao, gritting his teeth with hatred.

Leng Qingtang looked straight ahead with gloomy eyes, and whispered:

"Girl, at this moment, I have the same heartache as you, but for the sake of the overall situation, we have to endure it at the moment."

……

The wind beat the window lattice, making a low whimper like the cry of the dead, and the lights in the hall flickered miserably.

In the bleak silence of the Warm Pavilion, Gu Yunyao slowly opened her eyes.

Songqin was guarding the head of the bed, her eyes red and swollen with tears like rotten peaches, looking straight at her master, not squinting.

Seeing that the master had woken up from his slumber, Songqin wept with joy and sobbed:

"Master, you can wake up, how do you feel now......

Gu Yunyao moved her arm tremblingly, and through the brocade quilt, her cold fingertips stroked her flat abdomen.

Seeing this, Song Qin's heart was even more broken, and she fell on the side of the bed with a face and cried:

"Master, it's not good to be a slave...... Woo, the little prince is gone...... You beat the slave and the maid, it is the slave and the maid who failed to serve the master well......"

"What about Zhao An......"

"Gonggong Zhao and the others were all tortured by the emperor, master, the minions are incompetent......"

"Hey, it's really hard for them......"

Gu Yunyao said weakly, her pale face was dull and clueless, her eyes were empty and scattered, and she looked stiffly at the top of the bed veil, and the calm made people feel palpitations and restlessness.

A line of tears rolled onto the soft pillow, and the woman hooked her lips with difficulty, let out a bitter wry smile, and then cried and muttered to herself:

"The prince of the main palace...... Indeed, he should not have come into this world. It's good now, in the future, the three of us will take Yunxi together, it should be the best......"

——

Qinming Palace, brightly lit.

Time moves forward in silent waiting.

This long night was quite painful for Gu Yunxi.

Although she was not on duty in Jingyang Palace before, she had some friendship with the two masters on the other side, and when she learned that they were taken down by the angry emperor, she was always worried about them.

Gu Yunxi naturally knew the most torturous punishments and methods in the forbidden court, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom came out, he only gave the court division an hour to interrogate, it seems that Zhao An and they are bound to suffer a lot.

Sharp eyes looked at the dragon chair, and suddenly, grief and hatred surged like the sea, overwhelmingly sweeping her whole body.

The nightmares that haunted her since she was a child were echoed in her mind again, and each picture was vivid and bloody.

Now, the man who created that nightmare was right in front of her eyes! She had never felt such a strong hatred, and she was almost frantically eager to draw her sword and rush out, and the real murderer of the overseer and her whole family was persecuted with her own hands.

The footsteps were hurried, and they came in from outside the temple.

Father-in-law Zhang walked to the front of the dragon chair with a whisk in his hand, and bowed to the main seat:

"Back to the emperor, the servants obeyed the emperor's dictation and went to the court to supervise the punishment. Halfway through the interrogation, Liuxia, the palace maid of Jingyang Palace, couldn't bear it, and admitted that she was poisoned by someone else. The existing confession is here, please take a look at it. ”

The hall was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked, panicked, and had different expressions.

Emperor Jingxiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes that had stayed up all night until the yellow eyes were blazing, his face turned rapidly, his eyebrows and eyes were twisted and waved to the big eunuch, and he shouted angrily:

"What do you tell me to see! If I don't bring that with me, I'll ask her for myself why she's being unfaithful to her slave and framing her master—"

Father-in-law Zhang pulled his lips and looked embarrassed:

"Your Majesty, just because the court has punished him, the servants are afraid that he will be covered with blood and stained holy eyes......"

"Bring it on—"

The emperor shouted irritably, and waved his dragon sleeves angrily at Gong Zhang.

Father-in-law Zhang didn't dare to say any more, and bowed:

"The minions obey."

Turning around and walking out in thin steps, he quickly turned back, and led the two chamberlains to carry a rattan trellis into the main hall.

For a while, the atmosphere was eerily quiet, and everyone was looking forward to it, wanting to see the dying woman on the vine trellis.

The rattan trellis passed Leng Qingtang's field of vision, and he narrowed a pair of dark eyes, and the brilliance of the essence like a star flashed quietly from the bottom of his eyes.

Someone in Jingyang Palace actually stood up and admitted it, it's as simple as that?

No, something must be wrong!

Gu Yunxi stood beside the Overseer, staring intently at the blood-gourd-like person on the vine trellis.

I saw that she was covered in wounds, and the blood that was constantly bubbling out had already stained the rattan trellis, and then seeped to the ground drop by drop from the gaps between the rattan interlacing, and along the way into the temple, leaving two or three thin lines of blood, which blended with the red of the flying dragon embroidery carpet.

Gu Yunxi instantly raised his eyes wide, the fierce light under his eyes was about to be revealed, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Five steps away from the dragon chair, the vine trellis fell, and the small bump when it came into contact with the ground made the person above wake up leisurely, and then the pain on his body was unbearable, and he couldn't help but moan.

Zhang Gonggong shook his head and shook the dust:

"Your Majesty, the palace maid Liuxia brought it."

Emperor Jingxiao glanced down, and immediately his facial features were hideous and hateful, and his fat big hand slammed the golden armrest of the dragon head on the chair, and asked angrily:

"You're Ruxia? Answer me, whatever position you hold in Jingyang Palace, who instructed you to kill Concubine Yu and my emperor! ”

The palace maid wilted and raised her head, her scattered hair covered with blood, stuck to the vine trellis.

"The Emperor's ......"

It was difficult to open her mouth, and the palace maid's voice was weak and small, as small as the wind:

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is Jingyang Palace...... The maid in the small kitchen is the slave who threw the abortion medicine in the mother's porridge and caused the mother ......to have a miscarriage."

There was a slight noise in the hall, and everyone was frightened when they heard it, and they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to talk too loudly.

Faced with the more chaotic the situation, Leng Qingtang's mind became more and more sober, staring at the woman on the rattan trellis, and quickly analyzing it with a calm mind.

The man on the dragon chair was already furious, and his voice roared so loudly that the ground under his feet trembled three times:

"Why do you want to harm Concubine Yu, tell me clearly-"

The palace maid's body trembled, and she began to cry mournfully:

"The emperor didn't know that because the slave's father was a gambler and owed a huge debt, the slave and maid stole the palace property and took it out of the palace in a hurry to solve the urgent need, and didn't want to be discovered.

She threatens the slave to help her or denounce her. The slave was afraid of punishment and fearing that her family would be affected by rebellion, so she had to obey her orders.

Today, I heard that the imperial concubine summoned Master Yu to Yongning Palace to gossip, so she sent someone to meet the slave and maid, and quietly gave the slave and maid this package of things, and asked the slave and maid to put it in the master's diet.

After the master returned to the palace, he only passed the bird's nest porridge, and the slave had no choice but to pour the abortion medicine into the porridge. ”

The palace is full of monarchs and palace concubines, and all of them are shocked.

Emperor Jingxiao was furious when he heard this, and shouted angrily:

"Tell me who is trying to blackmail you into doing this-"

Facing the emperor's dragon questioning, Liuxia's broken body was obviously shocked, and her entire face was contaminated with blood and melon, and her true face could not be seen clearly.

After a moment of silence, she slowly and weakly lowered her head.

Queen Qian sat on the phoenix chair on one side and waited anxiously, her headache was almost about to attack again, she smashed her legs with her fingers interlocked, and urged impatiently:

"If the emperor asks you, you can say it quickly—"

"Yes, yes...... Concubine Xu of Chuxiu Palace! ”
