With the emperor's words, a palace maid was brought in tremblingly, and knelt tremblingly in the distance.

The emperor glanced at it, looked a little familiar, glanced at Fang Jizhong, and motioned for him to ask.

"You are the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace?"

The palace maid nodded, hung her head and replied, "The slave maid is Su'e, the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace." ”

Fang Jizhong pointed at Liu Xiuer and said:

"Look, do you recognize this young lady?"

Su'e glanced up and quickly fell to the ground again, seemingly even more panicked than just now.

"Back to Fang's father-in-law, this person remembers that she is a disciple of the Zhou Yuan, Doctor Liu, at the end of the palace banquet yesterday, with the concubine Niangniang returned to the palace to teach auriculotherapy, saying that it can be successfully delivered, and the body can recover quickly."

Fang Jizhong nodded, and then asked:

"Doctor Liu returned to Baohe Hall by himself, or who sent him back? But what happened on the way? ”

Zhou Heng turned his head sideways and stared at the palace maid Su'e, this lady concubine had a good impression of her yesterday, why did her palace maid frame Liu Xiu'er?

This is a relationship that can't be beaten by eight poles, if it is a relationship, I have to thank myself and Liu Xiu'er, give her soothing ointment and this method of recuperating the body, it should be like a treasure, how can you condone the palace maid to reverse black and white so much?

Zhou Heng couldn't figure it out, looking at the palace maid Su'e's appearance, he seemed to be very afraid of Liu Xiu'er, what was the reason?

The palace maid Su'e raised her chin a little and glanced at Liu Xiu'er, before she continued:

"It was the slave maid who sent Dr. Liu back to the Baohe Palace, when passing through the imperial garden, I saw a lot of people around the lake in the East Garden, I don't know what happened, the slave and maid glanced at it, and originally wanted to go over to see, after all, the shouting was very loud, but I thought of leading Dr. Liu and didn't go, Dr. Liu smiled at the slave and maid, saying that he wanted to go to see it."

Seeing Liu Xiu'er staring at her, the palace maid Su'e shrank back, and continued in a trembling voice:

"Then the slave and maid passed, the palace maid who fell into the water was a fellow slave and maid, and the slave and maid were dumbfounded, and hurriedly helped shout, and then a few eunuchs came over and fished people up, and the slave and maid saw that she woke up and there was no big problem before going back to find Dr. Liu, but Dr. Liu was not in the same place, I asked a few people to see her, and then she came out of the imperial garden on the right, and the slave asked her at the time, she said that she had waited for a long time, and enjoyed the scenery there, and then went to the Baohe Palace."

Liu Xiu'er's face was angry, this unwarranted thing was said with a nose and eyes, as if it was true.

She was just about to speak, but was poked by Zhou Heng, Liu Xiuer looked up at Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng shook his head, and signaled her to calm down first.

Fang Jizhong turned around and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, the slave has finished asking." ”

The emperor looked at the few people kneeling below, and asked with a gloomy face:

"Do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Heng knelt and took two steps forward.

"The minister is puzzled, even if what this palace maid Su'e said is true, she only saw Miss Liu come out of front of the Xiyuan Gate, have you ever seen Miss Liu kill someone?"

The emperor glanced at Fang Jizhong, and Fang Jizhong hurriedly asked the palace maid Su'e.

"Can you see Miss Liu kill?"

Su'e was stunned, and hurriedly fell to the ground, as if gritting her teeth, before saying:

"The slave didn't see the killing, but saw Miss Liu coming out of behind the rockery, shaking off her body as she walked, the bun on her head was a little messy, and there seemed to be shoe prints on her skirt."

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes, smiled slightly, completely lost the worry just now, and raised his eyes to look at the palace maid Su'e.

"Since you saw that Miss Liu's skirt had shoe prints on it, and the bun on her head was a little messy, then let me ask you, what style and color of clothes did Miss Liu wear yesterday, and what accessories did she wear on her head?"

Su'e was stunned, thought for a while, looked up and said:

"This ...... How does this slave remember? ”

Without waiting for Fang Jizhong to speak, Zhou Heng said with a smile:

"Oh? In this way, you don't remember what color of clothes Miss Liu wore yesterday, so do you remember what kind of clothes the concubine was wearing, what headdress, and how to wear it? You can't say you don't remember this, right? ”

Su E paused, "Niangniang is wearing a pink dress, a set of red gold noodles on her head, and a pair of white hostas. ”

"How is it inserted, is it left or right, what are the earrings like?"

Su E was stunned, obviously she didn't remember, she no longer looked back at Zhou Heng about this matter, but knelt on the ground and said to Fang Jizhong:

"The slave didn't remember the details, but the Zhou court judgment asked so, I don't know if the Zhou court judgment can remember?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhou Heng, Su E was right, she asked so carefully, do you remember?

Zhou Heng bowed, "Please give the minister a pen and paper, the minister will draw it, what are the specific accessories called, the minister really doesn't know, and he can't tell the difference, but he remembers the appearance, and then you can ask the personal female officer of the concubine Niangniang to come over to check and see if the minister's painting is accurate?" ”

The emperor looked at Zhou Heng, he knew what Zhou Heng meant, but this thing is not something you say you remember if you remember, he also saw it, but it can't be guaranteed to be completely accurate, and glanced sideways at Fang Jizhong.

"Fang Banban gave Zhou Yuan a pen and paper, and then ordered someone to ask Yuqing from Concubine Shu's side to come over and check whether these things were accurate."

Fang Jizhong hurriedly moved, put the pen and paper in front of Zhou Heng, and ordered someone to pass the word, even now, the emperor didn't say to let them get up, obviously extremely angry at this time.

Zhou Heng hurriedly started to write, and carefully painted the clothes of Concubine Shu yesterday in his memory, but the face was not depicted, if this is a face, what is the intention of a courtier who observes the emperor woman so carefully?

Such a statement must not appear, this is looking for death, don't be able to save Liu Xiu'er but harm herself.

Thinking in his mind, the movements of his hands did not stop, and with a few strokes, a woman in palace clothes appeared in front of him.

Zhu Yunmo and Liu Xiu'er both looked at it secretly, Zhu Yunmo knew Zhou Heng's ability, he knew that Liu Xiu'er was Zhou Heng's important person, just like protecting himself at that time, Zhou Heng was in a hurry, so he came up with this method.

Liu Xiu'er looked at Zhou Heng and pursed her lips tightly, no one except her brother had treated her like this, just now the emperor seemed to be going to kill her, at this time, she could fight with reason, no matter what the result was, this love moved her beyond measure.

Zhou Heng at this moment, he had finished painting and dried the ink, Fang Jizhong had already walked to his side and lifted the paper up, although he did not paint the color or draw his face, but the service and action were clear at a glance, this lady concubine.

He did not dare to stop and presented the painting to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at it indifferently, but his eyes widened instantly, this shirt and headdress were indeed the outfit of Concubine Shu yesterday, and such a detailed presentation really made the emperor a little stunned.

At this moment, a little eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu asks to see you." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, it seemed that the person who passed the message had informed Concubine Shu of everything here, paused slightly, sighed and waved his hand.

"Call her in."

Concubine Shu was supported by a palace maid, walked in quickly, and was just about to bend her knees to salute, when the emperor hurriedly waved her hand.

"If you're pregnant, you don't have to see a courtesy, why did you come here?"

Concubine Shu bowed slightly, glanced at the emperor, and there was a look of annoyance on her face.

"The concubine heard that someone called Yuqing to come to Dongnuan Pavilion to reply, so she asked what was the matter. The eunuch who passed the message didn't tell the concubine clearly, and the concubine was a little annoyed.

Later, when I asked the following, it was said that a palace maid in the concubine's palace had come to falsely accuse Dr. Liu, so I hurried over, I don't know what I wanted to hear, and asked Your Majesty to atone for my sins. ”

Zhou Heng didn't speak, he listened attentively, this concubine picked herself up in a few words, and didn't forget to sell her own good, but she didn't seem to know about it.

In the harem, there is a confused account, and it may be because this noble concubine is jealous and hateful, so Liu Xiuer was dragged into the water.

Fang Jizhong briefly explained the matter at the emperor's suggestion, and Concubine Shu took two steps forward.

"Since the Zhou court asked the concubine what she was wearing yesterday, is it good to let the concubine take a look?"
