Chapter 243: Adding fuel to the fire

The palace maids helped Jiang Wanruo back to Yongning Palace, and the concubines naturally followed. Xu Pianran was stunned in place, not knowing what to do for a while. Yingying said calmly as she passed by: "You always have to know the situation to think of countermeasures." ”

Knowing that what she said made sense, Xu Pianran reluctantly followed everyone over. At this time, she must pass, or she will appear weak-hearted. Obviously she didn't do it, and she would never admit it.

Everyone stayed in the hall of Yongning Palace, and the imperial doctor didn't dare to delay when he knew that Concubine Rong had an accident, so he hurried over. When the imperial physician was in the inner room to treat Jiang Wanruo, the emperor also came.

After the crowd had saluted him, he waved his hand irritably, telling them to stay aside and not bother him. Because of the arrival of the emperor, the atmosphere in Yongning Palace became even more tense.

Seeing the basins of blood and water being brought out, the emperor's heart also rose to his throat. The others didn't dare to say a word, and prayed that this matter would not be angry with them.

Xu Pianran looked at the inner room with hatred, and she swore that if she could escape this catastrophe, she would definitely make Jiang Wanruo pay the price. Yingying has a calm face, and nothing can affect her emotions.

I don't know how long it took, but the Imperial Doctor came out of the inner room. After he saw the emperor, he knelt directly on the ground, and there was some regret in his voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent and failed to save the fetus in the womb of the concubine." ”

The emperor froze, and although he was angry and sad in his heart, he did not show it. He waved the Imperial Doctor away and looked at the group of women in front of him.

"Explain to me clearly, what's going on?" The emperor's eyes were gloomy, as if he wanted to kill them.

Everyone was too timid to speak, but Yingying smiled softly and said, "Since everyone doesn't say it, then I'll say it." ”

When the emperor saw the warbler, his eyes softened slightly. Yingying Yingying saluted and said: "The concubine didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw the concubine Niangniang fell to the ground, Concubine Ran was standing on the side." ”

When the emperor heard her say this, he glared at Xu Pianran and said, "Concubine Ran, what do you have to say?" ”

Xu Pianran knelt down directly, and her voice was neither humble nor high-pitched: "This matter has nothing to do with the concubine, it was Concubine Rong who fell by herself, and the concubine did not admit this charge." ”

After hearing what she said, the emperor smiled coldly. It's not that he doesn't know the relationship and tension between Xu Pianran and Jiang Wanruo, and it's not surprising that she would do this. If she obediently confesses, he can still look at Xu Jingzhi's face and say that she is an unintentional mistake, but now.

Ignoring Xu Pianran's words, he looked at the others coldly and asked, "What did the others see?" ”

Xie Lingxi naturally would not let go of this opportunity, she stepped forward and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, today Concubine Rong invited the sisters to enjoy the flowers, but only the sisters of the Xu family were late for a long time, and they were disrespectful to the concubine Niangniang, not at all. Fortunately, the concubine was generous and didn't bother with her. I really didn't expect that this Concubine Ran would poison the concubine next time! ”

"Sister Lingfei, you haven't seen what's going on, how can you jump to conclusions?" Xu Rouxi finally couldn't help but help her sister speak, and the two of them were both prosperous and loss-making.

"Concubine Rou, you can't favor Concubine Ran just because she is a sister! Besides, I didn't talk nonsense, all the sisters present saw it. Xie Lingxi looked around the crowd.

Several of those concubines have been dissatisfied with Xu Pianran for a long time, and when they heard Xie Lingxi say this, they all echoed it. said that it was Jiang Wanruo who was pushed by Xu Pianran herself, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Xu Pianran is arrogant, and naturally he will not admit it if he is wronged. Listening to what they said was the same as the truth, the emperor's eyes became sharper and sharper as he looked at Xu Pianran.

After discussing for a while, the emperor finally spoke, and his voice was very cold: "Pianran, I don't want to be difficult for you, if it is really what you did, it would be a direct admission." ”

After Xu Pianran heard what he said, her eyes immediately turned red. She looked at the emperor with a very aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with me!" Why don't you believe it? ”

"That's enough, I have the heart to protect you, are you going to push yourself to a dead end?" The Emperor seemed a little angry.

There was stubbornness in Xu Pianran's eyes: "I didn't do it, I will never admit it!" ”

Seeing that she was so determined, the emperor couldn't make up his mind in time. In fact, although he felt that it was reasonable for Xu Pianran to do this, he also understood that she was not a ruthless person who would not even let go of her children.

Seeing that she was so aggrieved, she couldn't make a decision for a while. Yingying looked at the emperor's entanglement, and she sneered in her heart. It seems that what Wen Zhili said is right, this emperor is really a person who is easy to be soft-hearted and hesitant. For this kind of person, if you don't force him to that position, you will definitely not make a decision.

It seems that what she has prepared can come in handy. Yingying gestured, and Lamei immediately understood. At this time, everyone's attention was on the emperor and Xu Pianran, who would care where a palace maid went.

Just when the emperor was still in the middle of a struggle, he heard the voice of a palace maid at the door. She ran straight to Yingying and said, "Niangniang, it's not good." Slave maid, slave maid found that there was something wrong with the spices sent by Concubine Rong. ”

"What did you say?" The Emperor's voice was visibly surprised.

Lamei pretended to have just discovered the emperor, she knelt down and said: "The slave should die, I didn't notice the emperor, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" ”

"Well, get up. Tell me what this spice is all about. "The Emperor didn't seem to expect so much to happen today.

Lamei seemed to hesitate a little, and only after a while did she speak: "This spice is a gift from Concubine Rong to my mother, and the slave and maid have a little medical skills and found out that there is musk in it." ”

Hearing that the Musk Emperor couldn't sit still all of a sudden, he patted the armrest and said, "Someone! Bring me the lark! ”

Bai Ling had long known about the movement outside, she knew the plan of Concubine Ying and Concubine Rong, and at that time, the two of them expected that the emperor would not do anything to Xu Pianran, so they had this plan.

Bai Ling seemed to be very calm when she saw the spice, and she admitted that it was a gift from Concubine Rong to Concubine Ying, but she did not admit that there was musk in it.

Later, he called the imperial doctor to check it and found that there was really musk in it. Bai Ling knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this spice was prepared by the slave maid, and it is the kind that my mother is using." If you don't believe it, the slave can open the incense burner and check it. ”

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Bai Ling brought the incense burner with half of the incense left. After the imperial doctor's examination, he was surprised, and he saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these two incense are indeed the same kind, and they do contain musk!" ”
