Hu and Zhong trembled and went up to the hall and knelt down. During the process, Hu Zhenxia secretly glanced at Xu Ying, her eyes pointed at Zhong Chengbi, Xu Ying blinked her eyes slowly, and understood what Hu Zhenxia meant.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor, the queen, and the little masters." Hu Zhenxia and Zhong Chengbi bowed. Zhong Chengbi's voice was visibly trembling, and it was an irrepressible fear.

Duan Yulin threw the incense burner on the table in front of the two: "Look at it, do you recognize this?" He stretched out his hand to Fang Da again, and immediately handed over the warehousing file of the Shanggong Bureau.

Hu Zhenxia picked up the incense burner and looked at it, feeling very familiar, but it didn't look like the batch sent to Yilan Palace.

"Yes...... It's the ...... of the Emerald Pavilion," Zhong Chengbi said in horror the origin of the incense burner.

As if cooperating with Zhong Chengbi, Hu Zhenxia behaved extremely calmly, and replied calmly: "The slave and maid remembered that it was a batch of incense burners made by the Si Shifang in the ninth year of Shunjing and sent to the Jade Pavilion. ”

"But the imperial concubine ordered you to make it, and he was happy to move the palace to the bamboo beauty?" Duan Yulin reminded: "I'll answer after thinking about it." ”

Hu Zhenxia nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is exactly the order of the imperial concubine." The slave and maid happened to be the secretary of the room at that time, and there would be no mistake. ”

"Imperial Concubine, do you hear? She also said that you did a good thing! Duan Yulin was furious, and smashed the wine glass of the cracked [ Wen Si Sheng] to the ground, and the glass shattered into two pieces in response.

Xu Ying trembled when she heard this, but fortunately, Hu Zhenxia saw the wind and made the rudder turn fast enough: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood the meaning of the slave." The slave maid said that the incense burners were really from the imperial concubine's good intentions, but for some reason, after leaving the warehouse, they turned into problematic incense burners? The slave didn't know it before, but now it seems that someone must have done it behind the slave's back! I beg the emperor to allow the slave and maid to investigate this matter thoroughly, and the slave and maid will definitely find out this moth of the Shang Palace Bureau! ”

Hu Zhenxia's words were indignant, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her and Xu Ying. Feng Wu watched them play, and suddenly felt that it was really boring. That Zhong Chengbi shrank aside, trembling without saying a word, obviously knowing his fate. Alas, it seems that today it is bound to die another scapegoat to prevent Xu Ying's disaster!

"Oh? Do you suspect that someone under your command is doing a ghost? Duan Yulin was skeptical.

"Yes! Because the slave dares to promise that the slave has not done it herself! The imperial concubine never hinted at the slave or maid! Hu Zhenxia knew that she and Xu Ying were both prosperous and lossy, so they must not betray their master.

"What do you think, Queen?" As soon as Duan Yulin encountered the problem of the harem battle, he lost the ability to judge calmly. Often at this time, he needs to rely on Feng Wu to get an idea.

"Then look it up. Find out, this palace will cure her sins! The last sentence seemed to be said to Zhong Chengbi, and it seemed to be said to Xu Ying.

"No, there's no need to check...... Zhong Chengbi suddenly spoke, she raised her face, her eyes were red and said, "It's all, it's all made by slaves!" ”

"What?" The emperor, Xu Ying, and Hu Zhenxia all spoke in shock, but Feng Wu saw through everything and was calm as usual. She was sure that Xu Ying and Hu Zhenxia's surprise was faked!

"Chengbi, Chengbi, how can you ...... How dare you! Hu Zhenxia looked distressed.

Xu Ying rushed up more decisively and simply and slapped Zhong Chengbi: ", it turned out to be you!" It's all your fault, I almost hurt this palace and was wronged! The first life of the palace is all lost in your hands! "Pretending to be angry, she is good at this.

"Imperial concubine, don't be impulsive!" Duan Yulin didn't like Xu Ying's rough demeanor.

"Niangniang, don't be impatient, listen to what Zhong Sishe has to say." Mu Mei was obedient to Xu Ying, and reminded her not to act too much. After that, it looks fake.

"It's the concubine who has lost her temper." Xu Ying blessed the emperor and queen, adjusted her emotions, and sat down on the stool calmly.

It seems that if she doesn't intervene, this play may not be sung for a while. Feng Wu yawned tiredly, she didn't have time to keep messing around with them. simply let her add fuel to the fire and end the matter early!

"This palace is not going to torture to extract confessions, you can recruit whatever you have. If your answer is 'satisfied' to everyone, this palace may be able to give you a good time. Feng Wu raised her chin at Zhong Chengbi, signaling that she could continue.

"Yes......" Zhong Chengbi kowtowed, and began to "confess" the crime with a crying voice: "Mu Zhu was originally the same as a slave, she was a subordinate. Because she is Concubine Zheng Shu's close attendant, she has more face, and she is a little arrogant to the palace people of our Shang Palace Bureau. Every time the slave maid runs an errand for the Lihua Palace, Mu Zhu always picks bones in the egg, especially for the slave maid! The slave and maid have a deep grudge against her. ”

Feng Wu pulled the corners of her mouth disdainfully: "So you're going to hurt her?" "Mu Zhu has a lot of enemies, this is a well-known thing in the harem, there is no doubt about it.

"Yes! But it's not all because of that! Zhong Chengbi glanced at Hu Zhenxia as if guilty, and said: "Back then, Hu Shanggong was still a division, and the slave maid was only in charge. Slaves...... The slave maid wanted to be promoted, but with Hu Zhenxia in front of her, the slave and maid couldn't get past her! At that time, Cui Shanggong was most interested in Zou Caiping taking over as Shanggong in the future, so he ......"

"So the position of the chef in the imperial dining room is vacant, and you have a crooked mind? Isn't it? Hu Zhenxia was indignant, pointed at Zhong Chengbi and said, "You can't wait?" I treat you like my own sister, how can you be so 'wolf-hearted'? ”

Zhong Chengbi kowtowed to Hu Zhenxia repeatedly: "Yes!" It's the slave and I'm sorry for you! It's the slave ghost who is obsessed with it, and is used by Zou Caiping's villain! Zou Caiping was eager to learn that the slave maid was promoted, so she found the slave and promised that if the slave and maid were willing to help her do one thing, the position of the servant in the future would be none other than the slave maid! ”

"What did Zou Caiping ask you to help? Did she break her promise later? Xu Ying cooperated with the question.

Zhong Chengbi shed tears of remorse: "Zou Caiping asked the slave maid to apply musk to the incense ding and incense burner to harm Muzhu." The slave and maid refused at first, and the slave and maid were also afraid that the matter would be revealed. But Zou Caiping said that this method is very secretive, even if it is discovered, let the slave and maid push it to Hu Shanggong's head! She looked at Hu Zhenxia in fear.

"You...... But thou hast joined myself against me? I'm so blind that I've been hurting you for so many years! "Zou and Hu have never been on good terms, this is well known! Hu Zhenxia turned her head angrily, unwilling to face the "beloved disciple" again.

"Zou Caiping and Mu Zhu have no grievances, why do you want to hurt her? It obviously doesn't make sense! Lu Yezhen, who had been listening to her for a long time, tried to find out the unreasonableness in Zhong Chengbi's sophistry.

"The little master has only been in the palace for a few years, how can he know the old grievances of this court?" Zhong Chengbi had to tell in detail the beginning and end of Zou Caiping's feud with Mu Zhu: "Zou Caiping has a cousin named Mai Sui. In the first year of Shunjing, he entered the palace and became a palace maid, and he worked as an errand in Lihua Palace. At that time, Concubine Zheng Shu had just won the Jin Feng and was being favored, and Mu Zhu had just become a close attendant. At that time, Mu Zhu often punished the palace people for the sake of Shuwei. Mai Sui once accidentally broke Zheng Shufei's jade bracelet, which was supposed to be fine as long as she sent a few months of moon silver, but after Mu Zhu's instigation, Zheng Shufei finally punished Mai Sui for being hit by the board. Mai Sui was weak and could not withstand the torture...... After only three months in the palace, he lost his life! It is precisely because of this that Zou Caiping hates Mu Zhu! ”

"Oh my God, this Mu Zhu is also vicious at a young age! The concubine remembered that Mu Zhu was only twelve or thirteen years old back then? "At this point......, she seems to be out of the way."

Zhong Chengbi continued to explain: "Actually, Zou Caiping has long wanted to avenge his cousin, but unfortunately there has never been a suitable opportunity. Until Mu Zhu suddenly became favored, Zou Caiping was even more unbalanced, so he came up with this idea. Because she knows that for harem women, childlessness for life is the most painful torture compared to death! Just about...... It just so happens that the slave also hates her! Therefore, the slave agreed to Zou Caiping! ”

Wheat? A palace maid who was killed by a cane within three months of entering the palace, who can remember? What's more, the palace people who have been dead for more than ten years have long been removed from the palace register, and there is no way to check it at all! Who knows if Mai Sui is Zou Caiping's cousin? Now even Zou Caiping is "dead", and there is no proof of death. Catching a "dead man" and pretending to be the mastermind behind the scenes, this method Xu Ying is really tried and tested!

"Alas! Zhong Si is really confused......" Xu Ying, Xu Ying shook his head pretendedly.

"It's the slave who is confused! You shouldn't have listened to the villain's instigation, hurt yourself and didn't say anything, and almost stained the innocence of Hu Shanggong and the imperial concubine! It's not good to be a slave! The slave and maid regret it very much, so I have to tell the truth in public today! Zhong Chengbi bowed deeply, and refused to get up for a long time: "The slave deserves death, ask the emperor and the queen to surrender!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yezhen was circled around by them, almost ignoring the most important question: "Even if the incense burner of the Jade Pavilion makes sense, how do you explain it in the Yilan Palace?" ”

Zhong Chengbi was obviously stunned for a moment, they were summoned in a hurry, and they didn't have time to make up the lies. At this time, there was only improvisation: "As for the arrangement in the Yilan Palace, it is purely a personal grudge between the slave and the concubine!" The accident of the little master of the concubine, the slave and maid were also unexpected, and the blame is the bad luck of the little master! Zhong Chengbi just carried all the black pots, and she didn't have to be too polite to Lu Xizhen and others.

"You! You're clearly quibbling! Tell me, what personal grudge do you have with Concubine Yu? "Concubine Yu is such a low-key and kind person, Lu Xizhen doesn't believe that she will make enemies with others!

"When the first crown princess was alive, Concubine Yu relied on her mother's family to gain power, and she also lived a prosperous life for a while. At that time, in order to appease her, the slave maid sent a lot of good things to the Yilan Palace; But then she fell out of favor, as the saying goes, 'the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken', so there is no need for the slave to be too good to her. In those years, all the requests made by the Yilan Palace, the slaves and maids ignored them. Maybe Concubine Yu has been holding a grudge against the slave since then, right? The first thing she did after regaining favor was to instruct Si Shifang to build a pineapple wardrobe. Zhong Chengbi argued a little unconvinced: "At that time, it was almost the queen's birthday, and the slave maid wanted to use the pineapple wood in small inventory to create a complete set of new furniture for the queen to celebrate her birthday!" But Yu Concubine wants to make a cabinet at this time, pineapple wood is precious and rare, and if she makes a cabinet for Yu Concubine, there will be one less flower stand in the queen's furniture. You said, isn't Concubine Yu sincere in embarrassing the slave? ”

"So you think that Concubine Yu has taken revenge on you. And you have to start first, so you use the trick of harming Muzhu back then to harm Concubine Yu? Feng Wu simply made up the reason for her to do it for her.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Zhong Chengbi nodded in agreement.

"Heh, so to speak, Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhen were innocently killed, or was it because of this palace? If the palace is not long, you don't have to make any furniture, and you won't have that series of bad thoughts later! Hum! "It's ridiculous!
