"Liu Ji, what are you hiding from me?" Liu Ying stared at Madame Emei's eyes tightly, as if she wanted to ask something from her eyes.

Mrs. Emei was stared at by him, but she still gritted her teeth and didn't say a word. Liu Yingfang's question was to try her reaction, she was so eager to get things done, but it made people sure that there was a problem.

"Your Majesty, there are no concubines!" Mrs. Emei only denied it vigorously.

An Su stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, the two palace maids mentioned handkerchiefs just now, but the slave maid picked up a handkerchief in the alley next to the shelter, but the words written on it didn't understand what it meant. ”

"Take it and I'll see." Liu Ying stretched out her hand to An Su.

The moment the veil was handed over, the palace maid beside Zhu Meiren's eyes widened, she obviously knew whose hand the veil came from. But now that the emperor is here, they are always powerless.

"Cao Shen, Chen Ping, judge his ...... These are the names of the important members of the court. Liu Ying seems to have figured out what this is all about, "Recently, the Liu family has been very active in the court, and I also said that they have also begun to want to do their part for the court, but I didn't expect that they wanted to form a gang in order to be promoted." Liu Lianyin, you are very good! ”

"Your Majesty, it's not like this, there are no concubines." When Mrs. Emei heard Liu Ying call her by name and surname, she knew that he was really angry, her eyes looked around, and suddenly pointed to Xu Meiren, "Your Majesty, it must be her, it must be Xu Ji herself who is deeply involved in rumors, so she teamed up with these sluts to pull the concubine into the water." Your Majesty, they are ring after ring, all in order to provoke the relationship between the concubine and you, they are so poisonous! ”

"So far, you are still pulling others, did Xu Ji ask you to collect information about officials and hand it out?" Liu Ying shook off her hand and said hatefully, "I don't like people like you who are restless and self-guarding, and it's just that they are tyrannical in the harem, and now even the national politics want to be involved, I really spoil you too much!" ”

"Your Majesty, there really isn't a concubine, maybe it'...... It's Zhu Ji, yes, it's Zhu Ji who did it. "At this time, Mrs. Emei only wanted to protect herself.

Liu Ying didn't bother to listen to her words anymore, turned to the guard and asked, "Where are you on duty?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is on duty at the northwest gate." The guard was unhurried, and his reply was very calm, as if he didn't care about the revelation of the matter.

"You've been silent, I've almost forgotten, and you're the party." Liu Ying motioned to the eunuchs to escort him to him, "Tell me, they have their own opinions, who is the truth?" ”

"The emperor clearly observed that the minister had indeed been entrusted by Liu Ji Niangniang for a long time, and took the list of ministers trusted by the emperor out of the palace and quietly handed it over to the Liu family who came to receive him. Every time she delivers a message, Liu Ji Niangniang will ask someone to give her a large bag of money, in order not to attract attention, the people who come to send money are almost different every time. ”

"You said it word for word." Liu Ying stared at him with suspicion.

The guard seemed to sense Liu Ying's distrust, and explained: "Your Majesty, the minister was first found by Liu Ji Niangniang, but because the father and mother in the family were seriously ill and needed money to call a doctor. But now that the father's illness has been cured, the minister still has to do these things for Liu Ji Niangniang, if he doesn't do it, Liu Ji Niangniang threatens to send someone to kill the minister's father, and the minister can only give in. But the minister knew that this matter was causing trouble to the country's politics, and he also felt that one day it would be exposed, so he was already prepared, so he told the whole story at this time. ”

"That's right, Ryuhime?" Liu Ying looked at Mrs. Emei again.

"Your Majesty, the concubine cherishes the emperor wholeheartedly, and she just wants her father and brothers to share her worries about the emperor when she sends the news, and the concubine has no other intentions!" Seeing that there was no room for quibble, Mrs. Emei could only hope that Liu Ying's benevolence would allow her to escape this catastrophe.

"I didn't expect that the woman I have spoiled for so many years will even plot against my court. Well, that's good! Liu Ying unconsciously clenched her fists, "Zhu Ji and the maidservants beside her, pull down the cane and throw it out of the palace, and you must not enter the palace gate again in this life, and the maidservants around Liu Ji are the same." ”

"Your Majesty, the emperor doesn't want it, Chunhan has served the concubine for many years, and the concubine will not be used to it without her." Mrs. Emei pulled Chun Han, but Liu Ying motioned to the eunuchs to put her aside.

"Liu Ji, you can still continue to live in your Phi Xiang Palace, but I want to seal the door of the Phi Xiang Palace, leaving only a doorway to pass in to eat, and you can choose a maid to follow you to serve, and the rest of the people will all withdraw. As for Mrs. Emei's title, now you are not worthy, and you will be abolished. Although this guard has made a mistake, there is still a difference between good and evil in his heart, so I will spare him for his capital crime and send him to the frontier! "Liu Ying is benevolent, but when it comes to political affairs, even if he can't bear it, he has to be punished more heavily, so as not to make another offense.

"Your Majesty, you can't treat your concubine like this, your concubine is loyal to you! The concubine's family is also loyal to you! "Mrs. Emei has completely lost her former flying and domineering, but she is just kowtowing on the ground, and her hair that was originally delicately groomed has also been scattered, looking very pitiful.

"Take it down." Liu Ying looked away, as if she was worried that she would soften her heart when she saw her like this.

When Mrs. Emei's cry gradually faded away, Qian Liang took two steps forward tremblingly, she lived in the Phixiang Hall with Mrs. Emei, if the Phixiang Palace was to be banned, she didn't know where to go.

"Emperor, Emperor, now Mrs. Emei, ah no, yes, it is a Liushu person, and now because of the Liushu people, the emperor wants to ban the Phixiang Palace, then, does the concubine want to move to another palace to live?" Qian Liangren was not very bold, and he was even more frightened at this time, and he couldn't speak smoothly.

"You started today's incident?" Although he disposed of Mrs. Emei, Liu Ying's anger had not subsided, and he really couldn't bear the women who were his pillow people, one after another.

Qian Liangren was so frightened that he knelt down: "The emperor knows that the concubine is just, but he just heard that Xu Meiren is going to have a private meeting with someone here, so he brought someone here to catch the adulterer." The concubines just don't want to, they don't want them to ruin the emperor's reputation! ”

"I don't like people like you who like to use the gossip in the palace to stir up trouble." Liu Ying glanced at her in disgust, "You can also stay in the Phixiang Hall and be with Liu Ji as a companion!" ”

After a few more cries, Qian Liangren was also taken back to the Phixiang Hall like Mrs. Emei. Their voices gradually became inaudible, but the heart-rending cries of the women in the deep palace have been hovering on the red walls and green tiles, and they will never dissipate for generations.

"I'm tired." Liu Ying sighed almost inaudibly, and stretched out her hand to Xu Meiren, "Xu Ji, come with me!" ”

An Su and Mo Sheng glanced at each other, and Mo Shang followed, while An Su took Chu Ruo and Suo Hua back to Huanning Palace. Tonight's moonlight seems to be more beautiful than usual, but the mood of the people who admire the moon is different, and the moon is naturally different.

"Queen Mother, the slaves and maids have retired." The emperor took Xu Meiren away, but the queen was still here, so An Su and the others bowed according to the rules before planning to retreat.

"Ansu." The queen suddenly spoke behind her, and An Su's footsteps were stunned.

"What's the matter with the queen calling the slave?" An Su turned around, and Chu Ruo and Suo Hua also stopped moving forward.

"Bengong praised you for being smart earlier, but sometimes, being smart is mistaken by being smart." The queen said meaningfully, "You are not in a high position, and if you are too conspicuous, it will not be a good thing for you. ”

An Su's expression froze for a moment: "Thank you for the teachings, the slave will be careful in the future." ”

Walking side by side with Chu Ruo and Suo Hua on the way back to Huanning Palace, An Su didn't say a word. Today's events were naturally a big win for the original intention of their plan, but Ansu always felt that some of the details seemed wrong.

"Sister Shangguan, what's wrong with you? Not happy? Chu Ruo suddenly found out that An Su's mood was wrong.

"I'm thinking about it." An Su frowned and said, "Don't you think that the guard's admission is too refreshing?" ”

"Guards?" Chu Ruo and Suo Hua glanced at each other, "The guard who had a private meeting with Zhu Meiren?" ”

"Well, he has been silent since he was arrested, but when the emperor began to question, he told everything at once, which is really unreasonable."

"Sister Shangguan, do you think he's lying?" Chu Ruohu said suspiciously.

An Su shook his head: "What he said should be the truth, but the admission is too light, which makes people have a ...... He already knew what it was like to happen tonight. ”

"I feel it too." Suo Hua answered, "I thought that the guard was also arranged by you. ”

An Su smiled lightly: "How is it possible?" No matter how great my ability is, I can't make a person loyal to Madame Emei turn against me! ”

"Then you suspect that someone else is in the way?"

"I'm not sure either, it's just that there's another question besides that." An Su shook his head, "Under normal circumstances, when the emperor sees the name on the handkerchief, he doesn't necessarily think that someone is passing on the news of the ministers, but just now the emperor only saw a few names, so he thought so, and he was convinced. ”

"Yes, I don't think it's right now, but now when I hear you say this, I really feel that something is wrong." Suo Hua also frowned and said, "If the emperor can think of this matter at once, then someone must have mentioned something similar in front of the emperor." ”

Suo Hua has also been in the palace for a long time, and she also knows a little about the methods used by the concubines to compete for favor, so she also remembered a little.

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid this person will calculate everything that happened tonight, and then push the boat down the river to help us, and we will be able to kill three birds with one stone, get rid of Mrs. Emei, and wish the beauty and Qian Liangren."

"So this person must be someone who doesn't like Lady Emei."
