Chunjia didn't look at her, but turned to Gong Xiangxiao, who was pale not far away: "Why does the prince appear in the harem?" ”

“…… The younger brother entered the palace on behalf of his father to greet the emperor's grandmother, and forgot Chenguang when chatting, and the palace door was locked when he retired, so he stayed in the palace overnight. Gong Xiangxiao was silent for a while, and said with some difficulty, "I originally planned to stay in Shui Cuixuan for one night and then go out of the palace and go back to the courtyard, but just after I settled, the little maid told me that a small waiter came at night, and told me privately...... His Majesty wants to summon his brother in secret. The younger brother did not dare to slack off, so he hurried to the place where he spoke. ”

"Unexpectedly, I didn't see Your Majesty, but I was considered to have a private meeting with Yi Concubine."

Concubine Xuan asked, "Is the little chamberlain serving in front of the emperor?" ”

"It's not the royal service, I can't run anyway." Before Gong Xiangxiao could answer, Yun Fenglian interjected and said coldly, "Later, I will ask the little chamberlain who can't explain his whereabouts to be thoroughly investigated everywhere, and identify them one by one for the little servants of the prince!" What the palace is curious about is that from the Banzhulu where Shui Cuixuan is located to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, across the Changling and the Kongming Pond, there is no shortage of guards and guards, but I don't know how the prince arrived unnoticed, and he was caught only when he went to the Yi clan? ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Concubine Xuan, and the palace was suspicious of you.

Concubine Xuan's chest was blocked, if this was a normal concubine, the palace concubine and the young man under her command were caught having a private meeting at night, and they would have already knelt down to ask for guilt, and they had no way to admit that they had no way to do it, where did Concubine Xian come from, and she didn't mention her mistakes, and she was aggressive?!

"The people in front of Your Majesty have changed a lot in the past few months, but the little servant of the courtier doesn't know the little servant." Concubine Xuan scolded in her heart, and heard Gong Xiangxiao say in a low voice, "As for how the younger brother passed through the many checkpoints to reach the bank of Kongming Pond, the younger brother also felt very strange. Because that's how the younger brother came, and he didn't meet anyone in the middle...... At that time, the younger brother thought it was His Majesty's arrangement. ”

Yun Fenghuang had a cold face and said, "Not to mention whether your words are true or false, this palace asks you, since you thought you were going to Your Majesty's appointment, why didn't you avoid seeing Yi Shi in front of this palace when you came to the vicinity?" Don't say you think you're your majesty! ”

Even if Yi Xingen went out with the knot wrapped up according to her orders, her stature was far from that of Junjia - Junjia was a head taller than Yi's.

Anyone who has eyes can never think of him as an emperor.

"Naturally, I didn't regard Yi Concubine as Your Majesty." Gong Xiangxiao's face softened a lot, and he seemed to gradually calm down, and said, "But it is obscured in the night, and it is only the palace people sent by His Majesty to guide the way." So he stood where he was and waited for her to come, who knew that he had only come closer, and before he could speak, a group of people appeared around, and without giving a chance to explain, he made a big deal out of it. ”

Concubine Xuan took advantage of the situation and said: "Concubine Xian, what about Concubine Yi?" Since Yi Concubine went to the ruins of the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion to find some old objects to please you, why don't you avoid seeing a foreign man? Can't you treat the dignified prince as a palace person? It doesn't make sense, does it? After all, since the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion burned down, there has been no one to it. ”

"On this big night, Yi Concubine and a woman are here, and when she sees someone there, where did she get the courage to stay instead of leaving? Even, do you want to get up? ”

"Yishi, did you hear Concubine Xuan's question?" Yun Fenghuang didn't panic at all, and looked at Yi Xingen, who was kneeling not far away.

Yi Xingen's face turned pale, she was originally beautiful, but at the moment she frowned slightly, slightly panicked, and became more and more weak, which was pitiful.

"If you go back to Niangniang, the concubine body is the same as the palace people in Jiangwu Garden." She said softly and weakly, "Because of Liudantang, I saw someone wandering by the empty pond from a distance, and I wondered if it was a gangster?" If you see it in other places, the concubine will also walk away and tell the mother to be in charge. But the partial birth is near the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion, and the concubine thinks that this place is where the mother came to live with the concubines last year, and it is a big night, such a person is here, do you want to do something unfavorable to the mother? ”

"Just in case, the concubine leaned over and wanted to monitor it, but it was not good to see who that person was, and to report it to the mother when she turned around."

I didn't want to get closer under the cover of the surrounding grass and trees, but before I could see the face of the prince clearly, I was held down by the people of the Misty Garden...... The concubine still listened to them and knew that it was the son of the world. ”

It's okay to say it here, at most it's a misunderstanding, no one is responsible, but at this time Yi Xingen added, "When the concubine was pressed, the hood was not removed at first, and I heard someone pull down the hood of the concubine's body and say, 'It turned out to be a virtuous concubine', and after seeing the appearance of the concubine clearly, the man changed his words and said, 'How is Yi Concubine'." ”

Before the words fell, Yun Fenghuan's face sank, and he suddenly raised his hand and gave Concubine Xuan an ear scraper: "The cheap maid is so bold!" ”

Concubine Xuan was caught off guard, and it took a full breath to come back to her senses after being beaten, she was of noble birth, when did she suffer such a grievance? For a while, he trembled angrily: "Concubine Xian, you !! ”

"Ask Your Majesty to be the master of the concubine!" She shouted, Yun Fenglian had already rushed to Chunjia with tears in her eyes, and said, "The concubine and Concubine Xuan were not related to each other in the past, since she entered the palace, although there have been some troubles, but they are all trivial matters, and they have passed." Since the summer vacation this year, the concubine has entrusted the palace power to her and Concubine Rui, and she has carefully guided her, thinking that there is nothing to be sorry for them! Who knew that they were so greedy and insufficient, and they still wanted to frame their concubines and their sons! ”

Without waiting for Chunjia to speak, and without giving Concubine Xuan a chance to cry out for grievances, she turned her head and glared at Concubine Xuan angrily, and scolded sharply, "You is really wolf-hearted!" It's okay for you to be jealous of the palace, and it is common for the palace concubines to be jealous. But for your own selfishness, you dragged the son of the world into the water! Do you know that the prince is His Majesty's cousin and a child of the clan?! When such a thing spreads, how can people look at His Majesty and Gongxiang's family?! ”

"It's madness!"

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged!" Concubine Xuan cried directly, knelt down and stepped forward to pull the corner of Chunjia's robe, and choked up, "With only a few words from Yi's family, can you convict the concubine of her guilt?!" In any case, Shiko and Ishi were arrested by the empty pond

It's a fact - why haven't these two been questioned yet, but the concubine was slapped by the virtuous concubine first?! ”

"No matter how the concubine body is, she is also Your Majesty's concubine, even if she has it, she has her own palace rules to deal with it, what qualifications does Concubine Niangniang have to do something to the concubine?!"

As soon as the words were finished, Yi Xingen also kowtowed, and said with a whimper: "The concubine dares to guarantee with her life, and what the concubine says is true!" And the concubine still remembers the appearance of the palace people! ”

Chunjia looked indifferently at the concubines who were sobbing one after another in front of him, and after a while, he ordered without any expression: "Bring all the palace people in Jiangwu Yuan and let Yi identify them." ”

He also ordered Yan Yin, "The imperial chamberlain has also been summoned, so that the master and servant of the prince can point out that the little chamberlain can be among them." ”

Then Yi Xingen quickly recognized the palace man who mistook her for a virtuous concubine, but a palace maid who served Concubine Xuan, not a companion, but a palace maid who was added after the purge of Yanlan Palace.

But Gong Xiangxiao's master and servant looked at all the attendants who served in front of the palace, but they shook their heads, indicating that the little attendant who passed the word was not among them.

Chunjia then instructed Yan Yin to thoroughly investigate who had been to Banzhulu last night.

In this way, several attendants were brought to the scene, but Gong Xiangxiao's little servant Dou Su still shook his head: "Neither." ”

"Then there will be no other chamberlain." Yan Yin glanced at Chunjia and said, "There are actually only two of these who have been to Banzhulu last night, and the others have no evidence to prove that they were not in Banzhulu at that time." ”

Although there are many people serving in the palace forbidden, they have their own duties, and the Son of Heaven personally spoke, who dares to slack off at the bottom, especially Banzhulu is the residence of the clan, because these two generations of the main branch of the Gongxiang clan Ding withered, has always been deserted, and the palace people rarely go over there, so it is not difficult to check.

Yan Yin repeatedly assured that there could be no omission in the plan.

In this way, Dou Su denied it all, it is difficult not to make people doubt, there is no so-called little chamberlain at all-Gong Xiangxiao of course did not mistakenly think that Chunjia made an appointment to go to wait by the empty pool.

And not long after, Zheng Fengsen, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, rushed over to plead guilty, and resolutely denied that there was no one at the checkpoint from Banzhulu to Kongming Pond last night: "Although there is no shortage of sons and daughters who are sometimes lazy, but guarding the palace, is it a trivial matter?" The minister just asked, tonight the palace is forbidden to go up and down, and there are five or six people who leave their jobs without authorization, but they are all from the back mountain. As for the people in Changling and Banzhulu, not to mention 100,000 vigilance, they are all loyal to their duties and have never left half a step...... They all said they had never seen the Son. ”

He glanced at Gongxiangxiao's feet again, and made a suggestion, "From Banzhulu to Kongmingchi, if you pass through the checkpoint, the soles of your feet should be stained with a little red mud." It was specially transported from the south for planting camellia on Changling, and there was no other place in the palace. ”

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked at the bottom of Gong Xiangxiao's robe, and saw that he was wearing a pair of boots embroidered with unicorn auspicious clouds on a soapy white background.

"Brother Chen also knows that there will be red mud in Changling." Facing many meaningful glances, Gong Xiangxiao calmly explained

"Therefore be extra careful when passing by...... There has been no rain in the past two days, and that section of the road is not muddy, only a little sticky on the soles of the boots when passing by, and when they reach the side of the empty pond, the courtiers try to wipe it off, so as not to lose their dignity when they face the saint. ”

Concubine Xuan immediately asked: "But I don't know where the prince wiped it off?" And with what did you wipe it off? ”

Gong Xiangxiao glanced at her and didn't speak, only listening to Chunjia slowly speak: "Yan led you to let people go to the empty pond to have a look." ”

Not long after the goose retreated, he came back to tell that he had indeed found a bush with traces of red mud, and people compared it with the red mud on Changling, and found that it was the same, and even found two inconspicuous footprints on the side of Changling - because it had not rained recently, the footprints were not obvious, and they were found after careful inspection - Yan Yin also brought a sand table for this, and politely asked Gongxiangxiao to step on it, so as to compare it with the footprints found on Changling.

This comparison is indeed the same person, and after the result was announced, Chunjia's face became gloomy and he looked at Zheng Fengsen.

Zheng Fengsen obviously didn't expect it to be like this, so he was stunned before kneeling down to plead guilty.

"Your father and son have presided over the forbidden army for many years, and they can't even tell whether what the people below say is true or false?!" Chunjia didn't save face for him, and scolded the tea kung fu with a split head and a face, before letting him get down, "Go and find out before you come to the report!" Bastard thing! ”

Concubine Xuan was shocked and angry, if Gong Xiangxiao was fine, it would be difficult to prove that Yi Xingen had a private meeting with her, then the fact that the people of Jiangwu Yuan who Yi Xingen said at first thought that she was a virtuous concubine would undoubtedly become evidence that Concubine Xuan wanted to murder Concubine Xian - in fact, this evidence is not reliable, but with Yun Fenghuang's record, this is enough!

What will be the one waiting for Concubine Xuan?

She didn't dare to think about it.

is thinking quickly about how to defend himself, and if he can't defend himself, how to give up his car to protect his handsome...... I listened to Chunjia's instructions to clean up all the idlers, and even Gong Xiangxiao was invited to serve tea outside, leaving only Concubine Xuan and her henchmen.

"The Luo clan is also a famous family, how can there be a fool like you?!" After the scene was cleared, Concubine Xuan opened her mouth slightly, and was about to speak, but there was a flower in front of her, and it was Yun Fenghuang who gave her another slap!

Concubine Xuan was about to faint - Yun Fenghuang still wanted to scold her for being stupid and confused, "Your father and brother both worked for Your Majesty in the previous dynasty, you are good, you are tired of living a good life, and you are happy to be a relative and an enemy!" ”

"Could it be that Luo's is teaching his daughter as a village girl? The palace maids in front of this palace are not stupid enough for you! ”

"Who told you that the main palace would go to the Lanzhou Night Rain Pavilion last night?!"

"What else did the man say?"

"Don't hurry up and explain !!"

Concubine Xu Xuan's expression was too hysterical, Chunjia couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed lightly: "Concubine Xian, ask carefully, don't do it." ”

These words sounded like she felt sorry for Concubine Xuan, but the emperor followed up and said, "Concubine Xuan is young and ignorant, I am afraid that I will not know if I am calculated, I am so frightened by you, what if I miss the details?" ”
