"The concubine asked the maidservant to send a letter to the emperor, originally thinking that the emperor was busy with government affairs, and he could rest and rest by taking the opportunity of admiring the moon, but who knew that he was so misunderstood by Qian Liangren, but it was the concubine's mistake." Xu Meiren said aggrieved at the right time.

"It's not your fault, it's just that someone loves to tell right and wrong here." Liu Ying obviously heard a lot of their previous words, "The rumors in the palace have always been outrageous, and those palace people just talk about it, why do you, as my concubines, also believe these nonsense?" ”

"Of course the concubine doesn't believe it, but those rumors are spreading more and more, and the concubine is also worried that it will hurt the emperor's face." Mrs. Emei hurriedly flattered, "If you can prove that Xu Meiren didn't do those things, wouldn't it make the emperor worry." ”

"If you want to check, you will check, Xu Ji is delicate, you want to send her to Yongxiang to torture, what are your intentions?" Liu Ying's words were mixed with anger.

He always thought that Mrs. Emei was a kind-hearted woman, and he spoiled her for many years because of this, but he didn't expect her to be so vicious. Last time in the Phixiang Palace, she treated An Su like that, Liu Ying felt that she was just angry for a while, who knew that it was like this today, again and again, you can see a person's nature.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is all for you!" Mrs. Emei wanted to explain, but An Su robbed her of words.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ji Niangniang is indeed for the order of the palace, and she has no intention of targeting Xu Ji Niangniang." An Su pretended to speak for Mrs. Emei, and immediately changed her words again, "No, Liu Ji Niangniang heard that someone had a private meeting by the Xingyue Terrace, so she hurried over and caught someone. It's just that this person is not Xu Ji Niangniang, but a team of palace maids and guards. ”

An Su gave way to the side, revealing the two who were secret: "Your Majesty, look, they are here." ”

Chu Ruo and Suo Hua got An Su's eyes, and immediately held the lantern to the two of them, and the action was so fast that Mrs. Emei didn't have time to stop it. The light of the lantern sprinkled straight on the faces of the two, and Liu Ying naturally saw it clearly.

"Zhu Ji? Why are you dressed as a maid? Liu Ying was also very surprised.

"Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubine is ......" What Zhu Meiren said to the queen before, but she couldn't say anything at this time. The queen is notoriously afraid of trouble, and she can still take advantage of loopholes, but if the emperor investigates thoroughly, her lies can be quickly exposed.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Meiren said before that she missed her relatives at home, so she asked the guards to bring some money out." The queen mentioned it at the right time.

Liu Ying sneered: "Zhu Ji, I remember that when I accepted you in the past, there was no one in your house, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is just panicking in front of the queen for a while." Zhu Meiren is in such a situation, she can't advance or retreat, and she doesn't know what to say.

"Then you can explain and explain, what do you want to do on this big night, dressed in the clothes of a palace maid, and come here to have a private meeting with the guards?" Liu Ying looked at her coldly, and her brows were already furrowed. He is a kind-hearted person, and he can fulfill Hu Bazi and Su Yu freely when he knows that they are in love, but he is not good enough to tolerate the concubines doing such things under his nose.

Zhu Meiren subconsciously looked at Mrs. Emei, but only received a fierce glare from her, and she knew that she would not be able to escape this catastrophe today. In that case, it is better to sacrifice yourself and preserve what you can.

"The concubine is sorry for the emperor, she can only apologize with death." Zhu Meiren suddenly shook off the clamps of the eunuchs and ran towards the palace wall.

Everyone was taken aback, but An Su was quick to rush forward, and pulled the person back when she crashed into the palace wall. Those eunuchs were also clever, and when they saw the situation, they quickly rushed forward and escorted Zhu Meiren back to Liu Ying.

"The emperor hasn't decided how to punish him, Zhu Ji Niangniang is in a hurry to die, could it be that he wants to cover up something else with death?" Ansu said just right.

"You talk nonsense!" Zhu Meiren struggled twice, but she couldn't get out, so she shouted loudly at An Su, "You are a little palace maid, how can you have such the audacity to frame this palace, you must have been instigated by Xu Ji!" ”

"Zhu Ji Niangniang, according to the rules of the palace, it is a great disrespect to the emperor and the queen mother for the concubine to commit suicide, even if you are guilty, you should be decided by the emperor after the verdict. Crashing headlong into the palace wall in disregard of etiquette, righteousness and shame, isn't it trying to cover up something? ”

"Ansu is right, Zhu Ji, could it be that you have done anything else?" Liu Ying seemed to be moved by An Su's words, and began to interrogate her.

Zhu Meiren is a good general next to Mrs. Emei, if she dies, Mrs. Emei is naturally reluctant, but in the current situation, self-preservation is the best policy, even if she is reluctant, Mrs. Emei can only turn her head and look to the side. But this Zhu Mei not only did not die, but also may expose her secret, and then Mrs. Emei panicked again.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Meiren just didn't think clearly for a while, so she made such a thing as self-killing. She was ashamed of the emperor, and she had no shame to face the saint again, so she should let people take it down as soon as possible, so as not to stain the emperor's eyes. ”

"Your Majesty, I wish Ji Niangniang and the guards a private meeting, but it was Xu Ji Niangniang who was rumored, this fact is too much of a coincidence." An Su ignored Mrs. Emei's vicious gaze and continued, "Maybe those rumors were deliberately spread out to frame Xu Ji Niangniang in order to cover up the truth. ”

"An Su is right, Your Majesty, Xu Meiren has always kept to herself, and she shouldn't do anything like that. What's more, the letter that Qian Liangren said was also sent to the emperor. The queen wanted to end this farce quickly, so she also helped Ansu on the side.

"Zhu Ji, tell me yourself, is Xu Ji's rumors related to you?" Liu Ying looked at Zhu Meiren's gaze and became even more annoyed.

Zhu Meiren glanced at Mrs. Emei again, gritted her teeth and admitted: "Yes, this rumor was indeed spread by the concubine." ”

With a snap, Zhu Meiren was slapped in the face by Liu Ying, and she couldn't stand a little, but she was pulled by the eunuchs, so she stood in an extremely weird posture.

"In this way, you are sin after sin, and you will definitely not be able to keep you in this palace." Liu Ying waved his hand at the eunuchs next to him, "Pull it down, punish it with fifty rods, and drive it out of the palace......"

Before Liu Ying's words were finished, there was a palace maid next to her who was whispering, and she didn't know what she was muttering.

"Who's talking to the side? When the emperor speaks, there are also people who dare to mix in and don't want to live? Ansu knew that she was too eye-catching today, but the matter was not over yet, and she had to continue to play this scene head-on.

The eyes of everyone present were attracted, and a little palace maid stood up tremblingly.

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the slave maid just saw something inadvertently, I don't know if I should say it at this time, I want to mumble a few words in a low voice." This palace maid was arranged by An Su in advance, she looks honest and honest, and she has no sense of existence in Huanning Palace, and almost no one will notice her. For people like this, what they say is credible, and Ansu tells her what she has seen, so that she can say it at the right time.

Seeing that she was so cowardly, Liu Ying's voice was really gentle: "What have you seen?" Say it boldly, I'm here, and you don't have to be afraid. ”

"Back to the emperor, slave maid...... The slave felt that the guard who wished Ji Niangniang a private meeting, he seemed to be ...... It seems that I have had private meetings with several different palace maids. "An Suji is very good at choosing people, and the palace maid who speaks is cowardly, and she is even more trembling when she faces Liu Ying, and she is a little slurred, but the more she is like this, the more she can make people believe it.

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Ying glanced at the guard, who was also unsightly, very ordinary.

"The last time the slave maid came back from a trip to the Tai Hospital at night, I saw him in the alley next to the shelter, and he was talking to the maid next to Zhu Ji Niangniang. The slave maid also saw Zhu Ji Niangniang's maid hand him a package and several handkerchiefs. ”

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have also seen it." In the darkness, another palace maid's voice came out, which was naturally arranged by An Su in advance.

"Oh? Have you also seen Zhu Ji's maidservant? Liu Yinghu doubted.

The palace maid stood up and shook her head: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid is not the maid who saw Zhu Ji Niangniang, but the Chunhan sister next to Liu Ji Niangniang." She had also met with the guard, as if it was also in the alley near the shelter, and the slave maid also saw that Sister Chunhan handed over the package and handkerchief to the guard, and the package seemed to be very heavy, so the slave and maid took it seriously. ”

Hearing these words, a trace of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. If it's just a palace maid or concubine fornicating with the guards, then it's okay to say, just deal with it, after all, it's just a matter of the harem. But once it is related to national politics, this matter will not be easy to handle, and perhaps the Queen Mother will also come forward.

"Liu Ji, the people around you are also so indecent?" Liu Ying asked in a deep voice.

Mrs. Emei was already anxious, and when she was suddenly called, she quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know anything about this matter, although Chunhan is serving the concubine, but where she goes in her spare time, the concubine never asks." The concubine really didn't expect that she would do something like an affair with the guards. ”

Liu Ying sneered: "Really? Do you really think that the three of them frequently meet with this guard, it is all an affair? ”

Since Liu Ying ascended the throne, the Queen Mother has been in charge of the government, and Liu Ying has always been benevolent, but this does not mean that he is a straw bag and can be deceived at will.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know!" Mrs. Emei had no choice but to pick herself clean first, bite this sentence and not let go.

"The three of them are all from your Phi Xiang Temple, and they live in the same place every day, and you don't know what they are doing?" Liu Ying said angrily, "Do you want me to cure you for the crime of negligence? ”

"It's the concubine's negligence, please punish the emperor." Mrs. Emei actually recognized Liu Ying's words directly.

This made everyone stunned, Mrs. Emei has always been domineering, if there is anything, she will always push it on others, and now it is strange.
