How dare I tell the truth, Zhao Rongxian, this bastard, even if he was mean to me in his previous life, but one day he knew that after I ate a lot of shunzi soup behind his back, he was almost furious.

If he knew now, he wouldn't know what kind of mess he was going to make!

Catching up with his gentle gaze, my heart was a little weak for a while, "It's nothing, it's just that I suffered some cold when I helped the queen mother put the gift last night, just drink some medicine." ”

I laughed dryly, trying to look genuine.

Xu was too sincere for me, and Zhao Rongxian easily believed it.

His brows furrowed even tighter, he reached out and touched my forehead, and wondered, "I was fine last night, why did I catch the wind and cold today, and I will ask the imperial doctor to take a look for you in a while." ”

"No need for the prince, the concubine has already looked for a doctor...... "My heart is tight, if I really call the imperial doctor to see, it will definitely expose my lies."

Zhao Rongxian doesn't know medical skills, but the imperial doctors do, and the imperial doctors are afraid of Zhao Rongxian, so they naturally don't dare to lie to him.

After going back and forth like this, he soon had to find out that the medicine in my bowl was a soup of shunzi.

I looked at Zhao Rongxian with sincerity on my face, and straightened up again, making him feel that my complexion was very good.

Zhao Rongxian still frowned, glanced at the medicine bowl on the round table, and asked me very suspiciously, "Have you really seen the doctor?" Which doctor is it? Why didn't I see it? Does this medicine work? ”

Zhao Rongxian asked questions again and again, his face was full of concern, and my heart was even more empty when I cared.

I smiled lightly and continued to lie, "Lord, you went to the front hall early in the morning to talk to the prince, and the concubine thought about such a trivial matter, so there was no need to tell you." ”

"You've really changed a lot...... Zhao Rongxian glanced at me suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice, saying that I used to have a minor illness and everyone knew about it, so I was afraid that he wouldn't know, but now why has he become so secretive.

Zhao Rongxian, as a person who has been an emperor, has always been very suspicious.

I was inexplicably weak-hearted by him, for fear that he would expose me in the next moment.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, and everything was as calm as before.

If you want to say that it is not calm, it is the queen's and other things. Within two days, the queen really made a fuss and said that there were many fewer gifts received on her birthday, and even a set of cold jade chess pieces and hundreds of Dongzhu that the emperor specially rewarded her with were gone.

The ones that were lost were all small in size, but they were all extremely valuable, and they all added up to 10,000 taels of silver.

So the palace exploded and brought together all the people involved in these gifts, including me.

Early in the morning, I couldn't wake up from sleep, so I was dragged into the palace.

In the huge Lizheng Palace, the queen sat on it solemnly, and the emperor also sat next to him with a frown, looking impatient.

"The fourth family, on the day of your birthday, the gifts of the palace are all cleared by you, what do you want to say?" The queen looked at me with a cold face, disappointed, as if waiting for me to find out that I had lost my way, and told her that I had taken her gift.

Wen Qingxue beside her echoed her in a weird way, "Auntie, only my niece and my fourth cousin-in-law were liquidated that day, and then my niece was not feeling well and left first." The niece didn't know what happened next. The palace people who helped in the house that day could see it clearly. ”

Hehe, isn't this a blatant saying that I took the birthday gift?

As soon as I entered the door, before I could speak, the two aunts and nephews sang and pointed out that I had stolen the birthday gift.

It seems that the queen was really angry with Zhao Rongxian, and she didn't even bother to do foreplay, so she was so impatient that she wanted to bend into a move.

However, since they dare to force me to admit it so blatantly, they must have 'checked' it.

It's okay, I was beaten for no reason in the province, in my last life in order to force a confession, one of my hands was almost scrapped, and later if it wasn't for the prince's soft-heartedness and plea to the queen, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life.

Thinking of the heart-piercing pain, I still have palpitations in my heart.

I glanced at Wen Qingxue coldly, and asked her funny, "What does Miss Wen mean...... Are you trying to say that I took that thing? ”

Xu was accustomed to seeing my low-eyed appearance on weekdays, Wen Qingxue was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "I...... I'm just telling the truth, why should the fourth cousin be so weird. ”

"Miss Wen has said this, and I am just telling the truth. According to what Miss Wen said, then I can also say that Miss Wen is sneaky and left early, which is also quite suspicious! As I spoke, I immediately bowed to the emperor and queen who were high above, and said calmly, "Father, queen mother, sons, and ministers will never dare to take the queen mother's birthday gift privately, and ask the father and queen mother to see it." ”

The emperor still had that impatient look, and the queen let out a long sigh, looked at me with a disappointed look, and said in a deep voice, "Fourth daughter-in-law, this palace originally wanted to give you a chance, but you didn't expect to die!" Come! Bring it on! ”

As soon as the queen's words fell, a few maidservants were brought up.

Just like in the previous life, as soon as they came up, they insisted that I had taken the queen's birthday gift, and what they said was sincere, true and sincere, as if they really saw it was believing.

If this were to be replaced in the previous life, I would have been trembling with fear and at a loss. In addition, Zhao Rongxian always cursed me to death in his previous life, which made me feel that he would not save me at all.

But in this life, I understand what the queen is thinking, and I know that Zhao Rongxian will definitely save me.

So I was extremely calm, I looked at the pile of pretending palace people with a mocking smile, and asked the queen rhetorically, "According to the queen mother's meaning, would you rather believe in these minions than believe in the sons?" ”

"The fourth daughter-in-law, this palace thinks you are just from a humble background! I don't want your character to be so cheap! In the first place, I shouldn't have let the fourth child marry you in the first place! It's all my fault for being confused......" The queen was heartbroken, as if she was unwilling, and raised her voice, "Someone! Search! ”

"Wait! The queen mother, the son is a dignified princess, if a group of minions are searched like this today, where is the royal face? I raised my voice, turned my eyes, and looked at Wen Qingxue coldly, embarrassed and resentful, "Miss Wen, there are some things that I didn't want to say, but who knows, you are so unrepentant, and you even let a bunch of minions slander me like this!" ”

"What are you talking about? What do you mean? Wen Qingxue was stunned by my sudden slander, and immediately became annoyed, and said angrily to me, "You want to say that I stole the birthday gift?" ”

At that time, the queen was also a little dumbfounded, but soon, a trace of defense ignited in her eyes, and she forced fairness, "You ...... go on."

"Auntie!" Wen Qingxue stomped her foot fiercely, gritting her teeth in anger.

The queen glared at her fiercely, and she reluctantly stopped.

I glanced at Wen Qingxue slightly, word by word, "After returning to my mother, in fact, on my birthday, after Miss Wen left, the cold jade chess pieces that my father rewarded you with were gone, and I even lost a lot of jewelry. Later, Du's mother, who was next to Erchen, said that she saw Miss Wen sneaky that day. Erchen thought that Miss Wen might just be playful for a while, and she would return it when she had enough fun. Erchen also thought that if he said this, it would not ruin the reputation of your mother's family, so he didn't dare to say anything. But who knows, after all these days, she hasn't been able to return it......"

Where did Wen Qingxue think that I would be beaten upside down, and it was made up with reasonable evidence.

Even though she was a smart person, she didn't have time to react at all, and she revealed her true colors immediately, and yelled at me like thunder, "You...... You slut, you bullshit! That Mother Du is the person next to you, how can you believe what she said? It's you, it's clear that you stole it, you are from a cheap family......"

"Shut up, Cher!" Before Wen Qingxue's words were finished, the queen suddenly slapped over, and there was a snap, which was extremely loud.

"In front of Your Majesty, how can you be presumptuous!" The queen glared at her fiercely.

Wen Qingxue was full of unwillingness, but she didn't dare to continue, she only cried and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense, the courtiers have no ......"

"If you search it, you won't know." I immediately interrupted her and said respectfully to the impatient Emperor, "Father, you are wise and fair, please be discerning. ”

Originally, the emperor was very protective of the queen in the past, but now that a talented person has emerged, the queen's diaphragm should be broken, and the relationship with the emperor has also become estranged.

The emperor's eyes rolled around, he glanced at the queen deeply, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just according to what the fourth daughter-in-law said, search!" All searched! Others in the province say that we are biased......"

Wen Qingxue was crying on the side, desperately arguing that she didn't, saying that I slandered her, and said that if I didn't find out, I would have to apologize to her.

The queen concluded that I didn't know what she was doing behind her back, and while angrily reprimanding Wen Qingxue, she also said that she should be fair.

"Your Majesty, you have found ......" An hour later, the guard in charge of the search walked in with a baggage.

Bang threw it on the ground, the blue cloth spread out, the cold jade chess pieces, and the Shibi, and many small treasures.

The jewels scattered all over the ground, what is it if it is not the queen's lost birthday gift?

The queen's eyes lit up suddenly, but her face pretended to be distressed, and she pointed to the jewels and said, "This...... This is really a search......"

"Auntie, I just said it, she must have taken it!" Wen Qingxue's face was full of grievances, and at the same time, she was proud of being wronged, and she was even more confident and determined that the thing was searched from the Four Princes' Mansion.

The queen was even more satisfied, and estimated that the next step was to call Zhao Rongxian over for questioning and ask him how he cared about me. Zhao Rongxian must be going to shout grievances, and then the emperor will be angry with Zhao Rongxian.

The queen blew some pillow wind next to her, saying that the fourth princess, this kid doesn't look like that, how can she do such a thing, how strange is she thinking, and then she has to find another slave to slander and say that Zhao Rongxian asked me to do this.

It doesn't matter, the important thing is that she has to continue to pull along with this minion, ask Zhao Rongxian what to do with so much silver, and then take the opportunity to check the current accounts of the palace, and then pull out Zhao Rongxian's private raising of elite soldiers.

At that time, even if the emperor knew that the queen was calculating, Zhao Rongxian's private cultivation of elite soldiers alone could make him furious.

A queen is a queen, so calculating......

Looking up at the queen's sad and confident gaze, I still pretended not to know, and asked the guard very aggrieved, "Dare to ask, where did this thing be found......

"Yes......" The guard glanced at the queen and then at the emperor, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"Since the search is to find out the truth, the innocence of the province has tarnished people's innocence." The queen's face was full of confidence, and Wen Qingxue, who was standing next to her, had an obvious smile in her eyes.

Seeing the two of them look like this, the guard became even more difficult for a while, he glanced at the queen in fear, and stumbled, "Go back to Your Majesty and return to Niangniang, this burden... It was found in Uncle Guo's mansion......"

"This ...... This can't be ......" Wen Qingxue was shocked and couldn't believe it.

The queen was even more like a lightning strike, so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, and after a moment of shock, she suddenly woke up, and suddenly a big-eared shave flew to Wen Qingxue's face.

"You worthless thing! actually did such a thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs, and dared to slander the four princesses! What a guts! ”

"Someone! Drag Wen Qingxue out of the cane and scold the thirty boards, and think about it for a year behind closed doors......"

Before Wen Qingxue could understand, the whole person was dragged out, she cried and shouted that she didn't, but the queen ordered someone to cover her mouth.

The emperor didn't really want to care about these messy things, but when he saw that there was a result, he turned around and left.

Before leaving, she also reprimanded the queen and told her to take care of her mother's family.

The queen was completely dumbfounded at the moment, but then there was something that made her even more dumbfounded, because within a while, there was a secret report that Uncle Guo was raising elite soldiers privately.

When the emperor heard this, he was greatly annoyed, and immediately ordered someone to investigate it thoroughly, which was even more terrible.

Not only did it find out that the uncle raised elite soldiers, but the most important thing was that most of the silver for these elite soldiers came out of the queen's pocket, coupled with the birthday ceremony, the emperor was angry and said that he would issue an order to destroy the nine clans of the Wen family, and also said that he would abolish the queen.

The queen cried and cried, pleaded guilty, said that she didn't know, and finally talked about the relationship between husband and wife......

In the end, the final result was that Uncle Wen was beheaded, almost all the men of the Wen family were killed, and the women were sent into slavery, except for the literary talents in the palace, none of them were spared.

Although Empress Wen retained the throne, she almost broke her arm to protect herself.

Empress Wen was devastated and fell ill for half a month.

Zhao Rongxian took advantage of this time to gain face in front of the emperor, and jumped out of his head, provoking many officials to take the initiative to come to the door and want to give his daughter to Zhao Rongxian as a side concubine.

Mother Du was very worried when she saw this momentum, especially Zhao Rongxian, who was so busy these days that she barely came over to eat, so she was even more worried.

"Princess, I didn't say you, your avoidance soup should have stopped a long time ago......," Du's mother removed the hairpin on my head for me, and said melancholy, "The prince is now gaining momentum, I don't know how many high-ranking dignitaries want to take the initiative to kiss, you said that if you don't have a child, it's not easy to say what will happen in the future." ”

I know that she is afraid that one day Zhao Rongxian will really marry a side concubine and enter the door, and a concubine from a lowly background like me will lose her status. It's not that I haven't thought about it, in the end, Zhao Rongxian and I are still respectful of each other, and if we can have a child, the family of three will be considered complete.

But...... When I thought of the bowl of poison in my previous life, I gave up this thought again. Recently, Zhao Rongxian's calculation of the queen also made me shudder. Though...... This time, I helped him calculate the queen for self-preservation, but I couldn't be happy at all.

I don't even know if Zhao Rongxian will calculate me one day, and I am more and more afraid that one day I will walk the old path of my previous life.

I shook my head and said lightly, "Okay, Mother Du, don't say it, there are some things I know in my heart." If the prince really can't tolerate me, even if I have children, I will only raise them in the name of others in the future......"

Du's mother knew my temperament, so she didn't say any more, but just removed my makeup with a sad face.

When Zhao Rongxian came over, I was about to rest, I don't know if he was too busy recently, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Ah Huan, this king has something to ask you." I looked up and was about to ask him why he was free to come over today, when Zhao Rongxian suddenly walked towards me, with a shallow smell of wine on his body and a serious and cold face.

What's wrong with him? Recently, he has been very proud, and he shouldn't have looked like this.

Did I him off?

I was confused, but he was already sitting beside me, frost written in his eyes.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" I was a little scared when he looked at me.

Zhao Rongxian didn't speak, just looked at me silently with a cold face.

Did I recruit him and provoke him?

I was even more inexplicable in my heart, and I was a little impatient all of a sudden, "Lord Wang, have you drunk?" ”

"Ah Huan, this king asks you, do you still hate me in your heart." Zhao Rongxian suddenly pinched my chin, his voice sounded calm as water, but his hand pinching my chin was secretly struggling, pinching me painfully, and I even felt that my jaw was going to be crushed the next moment.

I was in terrible pain, and I was even more confused by his inexplicable anger.

What's wrong with him? Didn't you lie to me before? Just to deceive me and willingly help him calculate the queen? Isn't it......

Thousands of thoughts popped into my mind in an instant, and I even remembered the image of him who almost strangled me to death because of my 'fornication' with my cousin.

I was pinched by him so painful and confused, my tears came out, I hurriedly wanted to pull away his hand, but he didn't want to let go of me at all, but simply pinched my neck, word by word, "Say, do you still hate me?" Do you still want to run? ”

He...... He wouldn't want to strangle me, would he? Is he going to cross the river and tear down the bridge? All the kindness he had done to me was fake?

While I asked questions again and again, I was even more scared to the extreme.

"I ...... I didn't have ......"

"There's no reason to drink the soup of the child!"
