As soon as the emperor's illness was cured, the queen's body had problems again. Feng Wu has always felt weak lately, and her spirit is not as full as before. I invited the doctor to see it, and they all said that it was a common symptom of elderly pregnant women, and it could get better as long as they meditated and recuperated. Seeing that the imperial doctors were all convincing, Feng Wu was relieved, and the fetal pills were poured down without falling to the ground. And Feng Qing, who had already planned to go back to the house, saw that her sister was unwell, so she decided to stay for a while longer.

During the period when the queen was pregnant, most of the affairs of the harem were handed over to the imperial concubine. Although it was only a temporary period of power, Xu Ying still couldn't help but feel proud. She wished that something big would happen in the harem during this period, so that she, the "outstanding" imperial concubine, could show her strength and majesty!

Just when Xu Ying was about to lose patience from the quiet and calm days like falling leaves, Xiangjun's visit was undoubtedly a trace of spark falling in the pile of dead leaves. Soon, the whole forest will be ablaze with fires.

"What do you say? You mean that Butterfly Beauty was killed by someone! Who killed him? Don't talk nonsense without evidence! Xu Ying's voice was faintly excited, and someone was finally willing to add a little excitement to her boring life.

Xiangjun kept kowtowing to her to assure her that what she said was true, and took out the bottle containing the poisonous butterfly specimen and the jade ear that she had found in the butterfly flowers. She vigorously accused Tan Zhiting of her crimes: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you have to be the master of the slaves!" The emperor's dragon body has just healed, and the queen's pregnant slave maid does not dare to disturb, so she can only implore the imperial concubine to come forward to uphold justice! Tan Meiren has a vicious mind, such a person stays in the harem, and sooner or later something big will happen! ”

But with these two things alone, how can it be proved that Tan Meiren is the culprit? If she refuses to admit it, this palace will not take her! Xu Ying looked at the evidence presented by Xiangjun and was not very sure.

"Niangniang can invite Tan Beauty's maid Mu Zhu to come and confront her! She can prove that the jade ear is Tan Meiren! If...... If they refuse to admit it, then the slave and maid will admit it! Xiangjun decided to fight to the death.

"Xiangjun, do you know that if the accusation fails, Tan Zhiting bites back and says that you made a false accusation, and you will be held accountable at that time." falsely accuse the concubine, and the rod will be punished a hundred. If this hundred rods go down, a delicate woman like Xiangjun may not be able to save her life.

"The slave knows! Anyway, if you can't punish the murderer who harmed Butterfly Beauty, it's not interesting for the slave to live, it's better to go over there to accompany her! "Xiangjun is determined to fight with Tan Zhiting.

"That's good! This palace remembers you to be faithful, and today it will fulfill you! Mu Mei, go and inform the Sixth Palace to come to Chenqi Palace to hear the trial, and bring Tan Zhiting's master and servant to confront Xiangjun in court! No matter what the result is, Xu Ying will inevitably gain fame and prestige. The most important thing is that the show will not be lonely today.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the concubines gathered in the main hall of Chenqi Palace one after another. Some people think that this is purely because the imperial concubine wants to take advantage of the queen's power to build authority, and she doesn't take it too seriously at all. At the beginning, Tan Zhiting also came with this disapproving mentality.

"All the people are here?" Xu Ying sat on the main seat and glanced down the hall.

"Sister Shufei is unwell and can't come." Concubine De also couldn't get used to Xu Ying's appearance of taking Qiao as a zhang.

A hint of imperceptible disgust flashed in Xu Ying's expression. This Li Jingji is used to being pampered and arrogant, and she doesn't take her seriously! However, even without her, this play still has to be sung correctly.

"That's it, it's good to live if you're not feeling well. Let's get started. Xu Ying waved her hand impatiently, and the words suddenly changed, becoming serious and sharp: "Tan beauty!" Are you guilty? ”

The sudden attack of the imperial concubine caught Tan Zhiting off guard. Before she could react to what was happening, she was pressed by Dong Fu and knelt in front of the hall.

"The concubine is wronged! The concubine doesn't know what crime she has committed! Tan Zhiting vaguely guessed that it might be because of Diejun's death, but she planned this matter carefully, and there should be no clues left! Then he mustered up his confidence and loudly voiced his grievances.

"Tan Meiren, don't you still admit it? It's clear that you killed my little master! Xiangjun also rushed to the front of the hall, knelt beside Tan Zhiting, and glared at her viciously.

"Big, bold slave! You're less talking! What evidence do you have to prove that this little master killed Butterfly King? "The so-called evidence of the butterflies has long since flown away without a trace, see what you accuse me of? Tan Zhiting thought proudly in her heart.

"I have! The evidence has been presented to the imperial concubine, you don't want to deny it! "Xiangjun won't give an inch.

"Nonsense! It's impossible to ......" At this time, Tan Zhiting began to be a little nervous, could it be that she really missed something? Tan Zhiting couldn't help but wipe the fine sweat oozing from her forehead with her sleeve.

Xu Ying glanced at Mu Mei, and Mu Mei immediately showed the two pieces of evidence to Tan Zhiting: "The little master has seen clearly, but these two things are from the hands of the little master?" ”

When Tan Zhiting saw the butterfly specimen and an emerald ear, she was completely panicked. How did the jade ear ring end up in Xiangjun's hands? She obviously didn't wear it to Cai Diexuan! No wonder when I wanted to wear it a few days ago, it disappeared, and it turned out to be picked up by Xiangjun. However, she hasn't been to Cai Diexuan again, where did Xiangjun pick it up?

Tan Zhiting pretended to be calm and said stiffly: "This alone can't prove anything, right?" It's true that the jade ear is a concubine, but it happened to be lost a few days ago, and it is not impossible for Xiangjun to pick it up and use it to falsely accuse the concubine! Besides, the concubine has never seen the contents of the bottle. Look at the mother's mother! "She just won't admit it, what can they do with her?

"You have to quibble!" Xiangjun glanced at Tan Zhiting, and explained to Xu Ying and everyone: "This earring was not picked up recently at all, but the slave maid picked it up in the flowers of Butterfly Xuan after the accident of the butterfly beauty!" As soon as these words came out, the room was in an uproar

Tan Zhiting also felt that something was wrong, the poisonous butterfly was put by Mu Zhu, she never came forward at all, how could she leave the jewelry in Caidiexuan? Don't...... Muzhu?! Tan Zhiting suddenly looked back at Mu Zhu, but Mu Zhu lowered her head and stood silently without looking at her.

Tan Zhiting had already understood at this time, it turned out that Mu Zhu, a slut, wanted to frame her! The hateful thing is that she can't attack Muzhu now, otherwise she won't admit herself. So, she gritted her teeth and continued to quibble: "Do you want to believe when and where you said you picked it up?" Who can prove it? All of this is Xiangjun's one-sided statement, which is not enough to prove it.

Faced with Tan Zhiting's rebuttal, Xiangjun was also speechless for a while. Just when everyone thought that Tan Zhiting was about to turn defeat into victory, a voice was inserted like thunder on the ground: "The concubine can prove it!" ”

Everyone's eyes focused on the source of the sound, and Zhou Mulin walked through the crowd and saluted the imperial concubine in a hurry. Then he turned around and pointed at Tan Zhiting and repeated: "The concubine proves that what Miss Xiangjun said is true." ”

"Zhou Mulin, you! I have no grievances with you, so why do you slander me? Tan Zhiting looked at this halfway "Cheng Biting Jin" in disbelief.

Zhou Mulin did not pay attention to Tan Zhiting's accusations, but gave her testimony and recounted: "Back to the imperial concubine, the concubine went to worship on the third day after the death of Diemei, which can be proved by Xiangjun and the palace people of Cai Diexuan. ”

Xu Ying glanced at Xiangjun, Xiangjun nodded, and Xu Ying motioned for Zhou Mulin to continue.

"When the concubine passed by the flowers in the backyard of Cai Diexuan that day, she did see an emerald green ear. First, there is no shortage of concubines; Second, thinking about which palace person left it, the concubines picked it up without meddle. Presumably that was Tan Meiren's ear rings accidentally dropped. Zhou Mulin glanced at Tan Zhiting with disdain.

"Zhou Cairen, please take a closer look, this is the ear ringing you saw that day?" Mu Mei brought the ear rings closer to Zhou Mulin, and Zhou Mulin nodded yes after reading it.

"You, you're all blood-spewling! It's you? Or is she? Which of you is trying to harm me! Tan Zhiting was uncontrollably emotionally pointed at Zhou Mulin first, and then pointed at Muzhu behind her.

"No one wants to harm you, it's Tan Meiren that you did something wrong. And as you said, I have no grievance with you, so why should I harm you? At the end, Zhou Mulin also added fuel to the fire: "By the way, the concubine almost forgot, half a month before the accident of the butterfly beauty, the concubine seemed to really see a figure similar to Tan Meiren entering the Cai Diexuan!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Tan Zhiting innocently. The half month before the incident that Zhou Mulin said was the second day after Tan Zhiting returned from the palace! Tam was angry and desperate.

"Impossible! The concubine had never been out of the gate of the Jade Pavilion that day, so if you don't believe it, you can ask Mu Zhu and Wei Baolin! Tan Zhiting was "sick and rushed to the doctor", and she actually wanted Mu Zhu to be her witness.

"Mu Zhu is your close attendant, and her words are not testimony. Wei Baolin, you said, have you seen Tan Meiren go out? Xu Ying felt that Wei Nan was an honest person, and he would definitely not tell lies.

Wei Nan nervously twisted the silk handkerchief, and his heart suddenly went up and down. Her relationship with Tan Zhiting is not good, but Tan Zhiting has never troubled her. It's just that...... She really can't remember the situation that day, in line with the principle that more things are better than less, Wei Nan chose to escape: "Back to Niangniang, concubine...... Ignorance. ”

"How could I not know? Think about it! Xu Ying patted the table anxiously, making Wei Nan tremble.

Wei Nan was so frightened that tears welled up, and he quickly knelt down and clarified: "The concubine really can't remember, but I just have the impression that Mu Zhu came back very late that day." But...... Until Mu Zhu came back, the concubine had not seen Tan Meiren! ”

Wei Nan said the truth, but these truths were a little strange to the ears of others. Since you have never been out of the Jade Pavilion, how can you not see anyone for a day? At least you have to leave the dormitory when you're out of the house, right? If you don't see anyone for the whole day, it means that there is a good chance that someone has sneaked out! Wei Nan's truth, it is better not to say it, but it makes Tan Zhiting look even more suspicious.

"Nope! No! The concubine fell asleep that day! I don't know what happened that day, I always felt very tired, and the concubine really slept in the dormitory all day! Tan Zhiting's argument suddenly became pale and weak, who is willing to believe her now?

But the more unexpected is yet to come.

Mu Zhu knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed desperately to ask for guilt: "Niang Niang spare her life!" The slave is guilty! Mu Zhu turned to Tan Zhiting with two lines of "remorse" tears and pleaded: "Little master, don't hide it anymore!" It's all recruited! The little master can't be wrong again and again! ”
