Wen Jie rubbed her temples and said: "Don't worry, Niangniang, now Concubine Liu is so confused that the prince won't go anywhere else, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the favor of the special room, why don't you take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

"What do you mean?" The crown princess was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said.

Wen Jie lowered her voice and whispered in the ear of the crown princess: "Niangniang, Concubine Liu Shu went out with a ghost like that, maybe it has something to do with the poisoning of Concubine Wanfang." ”

When the crown princess heard this, she had a number in her heart, nodded and said, "This matter needs to be thought about again in this palace, and I will talk about it tomorrow." It's too late today, and when Prince Ming'er leaves her, it's not too late for us to complain. ”

At this time, Liu Ruomei, who returned to the dormitory, did not know that her whereabouts had been known to the crown princess. Seeing that everything was as usual, she naturally lay down next to the prince, Liu Ruomei glanced at the prince with a little disgust, thinking that it was indeed that person - Tuoba Yeze. She said to herself hatefully: Why do you only have her in your eyes!

Moonlit night, King Xian's Mansion.

Tuoba Yeze, who was in the study, received a flying pigeon and unfolded the note, which was the news from Wen Yuan, an insider who had arranged it in the palace.

Looking at what was written on the note, a heavy shadow fell on the handsome face under the flickering light and candlelight.

Early the next morning, after a simple freshening of the virtuous king Tuoba Yeze, he rode a fast horse to the palace. Waiting for the palace gate to open, Tuoba Yeze walked all the way towards an inconspicuous courtyard.

Because there has been no visit for a long time, and it is a remote corner, although it is in the inner courtyard of the palace, the courtyard is still dilapidated.

The guard of the courtyard was an old chamberlain, and when he saw King Xian with cloudy eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The old slave asks King Xian for peace." So early in the morning, the old slave thought he was wrong. ”

"No courtesy." Tuoba Yeze raised his hand to exempt the other party from the salute, and at the same time, he took out a silver ingot from his cuff and handed it over.

"This hall is here to visit an old man!" Tuoba Yeze said.

The old waiter happily received it in his sleeve, staggered his body, and let Tuoba Yeze in.

In the Chengqian Palace, the prince who rested in Liu Ruomei's room last night got up because of the fragrant leaves. It's just that I don't know if it's because I slept too deeply, and my mind was drowsy one after another.

Seeing this, Liu Ruomei became more and more gentle and cautious, so she served the prince to clean his face, dressed, and sent people to the door with an earnest attitude.

"Yesterday, you were tired of serving the orphan all night, go back and rest quickly, you don't have to send the orphan again."

"Concubine, thank you for the prince's compassion."

"Hmm."

Because of the matter of Concubine Wanfang, the prince lost his usual idleness and hurried out of the courtyard. Looking at the other party's distant back, a strange sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Ruomei's mouth.

To say that the prince also spoils her very much, but compared to Tuoba Yehuan's strong tyrant and Tuoba Yeze's handsomeness, the prince is much more mediocre. Although Liu Ruomei is married to the prince, she actually doesn't like him at all.

It's just that for the sake of glory and wealth, for the sake of identity, she is willing to do so.

As soon as she sat down to prepare for breakfast, she saw the crown princess so majestic that she stepped into her room with several palace maids.

Liu Ruomei faintly felt that something was wrong, and she was shocked, but she pretended to be calm on her face, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

"The concubine asks for peace to the crown princess."

"No courtesy." The crown princess looked at the other party's beautiful young and beautiful face, and was secretly jealous in her heart.

However, thinking that this thorn in the eye could be removed in a few days, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of arc, and he said in a deep voice: "Concubine Liu, is there a maid named Jade by your side?" ”

That feeling of uneasiness was even greater, but now she couldn't help but hesitate, Liu Ruomei nodded and said, "There is such a maid by the concubine's side, I don't know what the mother is looking for her?" ”

"Then you don't need to ask more, call that maid to the palace immediately." The crown princess smiled faintly.

Liu Ruomei couldn't, so she had to send someone to call Jade to her.

Seeing that the person was indeed jade, the crown princess immediately ordered the two rough envoys behind her to control the person.

Liu Ruomei originally had a ghost in her heart, but seeing this situation, she asked subconsciously in a panic: "Niangniang, what is your reason?" Early in the morning, I went to the concubine's room to get someone. Forgive the concubine and dare to ask what happened to this maid? ”

The crown princess sneered and said: "Concubine Liu, don't worry, you and I know the right and wrong, now I invite Concubine Liu to the palace house." There are many things, and the palace also wants to ask Concubine Liu for an explanation. ”

Liu Ruomei was worried, but she had to go.

The group went all the way to the crown princess's house, and at this time, Mama Wu was already waiting in the main hall.

Moreover, there was a ragged palace maid standing beside her, and it was Qingluo if you looked closely.

"Raise your head and tell what you said to Mama Wu yesterday in front of Concubine Liu Shu in 1510." After the crown princess sat down, she pointed to Qingluo and ordered.

After such a night, Qingluo was so frightened that she had already lost her seven souls, and hurriedly glanced at Concubine Liu, then knelt down and said, "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid accidentally saw it a few days ago...... Concubine Liu Shu disguised herself as a palace maid Jade and sneaked out of Chengqian Palace. ”

Liu Ruomei was shocked when she heard this, but she knew that she was not messy, and if she was messy, everything would be called the princess's heart. There was no panic on her face, and after Qingluo finished talking about it, Liu Ruomei knelt down and pointed directly at the other party and said, "Niangniang, this is slander, the concubine has never done this." ”

The crown princess glanced at the other party coldly, unmoved, and continued to ask Qingluo: "This matter is related to Concubine Liu's innocence, it is not trivial, can you see the truth?" Is it the palace maid jade, or the jade that Concubine Liu Shu pretended to be? ”

Qingluo kowtowed heavily and said: "Back to the princess's words, the slave maid dared to swear with her life, and what the slave maid saw that day was indeed Concubine Liu, and she quietly left the palace dressed as a jade." ”

When Jade heard this, the panic in her eyes had already leaked everything, and she didn't have the ability to hide like Liu Ruomei, so she could only lower her head and pray that she could survive this catastrophe safely.

The crown princess sat upright, naturally saw Jade's heart clearly in her eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Damn bitch, don't you quickly recruit this palace, Qingluo is telling the truth!" However, your master disguised himself as you and did bad things! ”

Jade was scolded so loudly by the crown princess that her courage was about to break. There is still a trace of sobriety, knowing that he can't admit it, admitting it is a capital crime, Jade shook his head again and again: "No, no, ask Niang Niang Mingjian." ”

The crown princess said impatiently: ", it seems that you are not punished and will not tell the truth." Come on, drag down the palace and torture it! ”

Liu Ruomei was afraid that Jade would not be able to resist the torture, so she summoned herself, and hurriedly stopped the person who wanted to arrest Jade and go to the torture room: "Stop, Jade is a slave in the concubine's room, it is better to wait for His Highness to come down and then make a plan." ”

"Concubine Liu Shu really had a good heart, and for the sake of a mere maid, she refuted the face of the palace! Why, now in Chengqian Palace, the palace can't even move a maid! The crown princess shouted angrily.

Liu Ruomei hurriedly knelt down and said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

said so, but he didn't dare to let go of the little guy who stepped forward in his hand.

"Don't dare? Hongu's eyes are not blind. Saying that, her eyes glanced at Liu Ruomei's hand with disdain, and the crown princess snorted lightly: "Concubine Liu is so unintentional about getting along with this palace?" Today, even in front of the prince, this palace dares to do so. You have all seen it, this palace is asking Jade, why did he ever move a hair on Concubine Liushu! Couldn't this palace still punish Jade? ”

One hat after another was buttoned down, Liu Ruomei naturally didn't dare to continue to resist, she knew in her heart that she couldn't stop it, and she only hoped that the jade girl could bear it and not give herself up.

Jade saw that Liu Ruomei couldn't protect herself, fainted, and was pulled out.

"Crown Princess, nothing has been found out about the poisoning of Concubine Wanfang, and His Royal Highness has ordered this Qingluo to frame the concubine. Although the concubine is from a small family, she is not a woman who is bullied. Liu Ruomei rarely showed her fierce side, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never let the Crown Princess arbitrarily dispose of the concubine's maid without any evidence." ”

"Concubine Liu Shu doesn't need to say much, everything will be said after Jade confesses. This palace wants to see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will speak for you. "The crown princess has changed her previous magnanimity and generosity, and now she is her true face.

As soon as Jade was sent to the torture room, she was already paralyzed by the scene inside.

She knew that if she confessed, she would not be able to escape death, but if she didn't move, she was afraid that it would be more terrible than death now.

"Jade girl, you just ate it and saw it. If you don't cooperate well, what will happen? Even if I beat you to death here, no one will care. Mama Wu saw the horror in Jade's eyes and said on the side.

Jade immediately clenched her teeth, but her lips still betrayed her, and she involuntarily trembled up and down.

"Jade, if you are willing to confess, Mama will go and plead with the crown princess for you. Maybe it will save your life? How is it? Mama Wu further said.

Jade seemed to see a glimmer of life, and turned her head to look at Mama Wu, but she didn't dare to be gullible, so she began to hesitate.

"If you don't believe Grandma Ben, then you're going to start using torture? A delicate little girl, she can't help anything! Mama Wu took a step back, her face calm, and said hideously.

Jade closed her eyes tightly, as if she had made up her mind, and said to her: "Mama, Jade said, can you really not die?" ”

"Then it depends on whether you have helped Concubine Liu Shu do anything about capital crimes? If you were just forced by her to hide her from the palace, you don't necessarily have to die! Mama Wu said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Jade seemed to grasp the last straw, and there was hope in her eyes, she herself had no loyalty to Liu Ruomei, but she was confused by money.

"Mama Wu, Concubine Liu, she seduced the slave maid."

"Okay, Jade, you speak slowly!" Mama Wu said, a gleam flashed in her eyes, looking at the jade, as if looking at a person who was about to be executed.
