The queen looked at them with boredom in her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Recently, the harem has been restless, first Concubine Xi died outside the cold palace gate and has not been identified, and now there is such a fire, there is really no time to be clean!" ”

When he said the last sentence, his eyes fell on Lu Qingzi and he never looked away.

Sun Hanlin persuaded: "Don't be angry, the queen mother."

The queen didn't answer, only stared at Lu Qingzi and asked, "Lu Meiren, is the fire in the cold palace related to you?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it's not me."

"Not you? If it weren't for you, why weren't you in the cold palace when you walked out of the water? There was an oppression in the queen's voice, "If it weren't for you, would you have any evidence?" “

Lu Qingzi didn't speak, but he didn't expect Sun Hanlin to suddenly open his mouth for Lu Qingzi, and said lightly to the queen: "Queen Mother, it won't be Lu Meiren, Erchen happened to be passing by at the time, and saw Lu Meiren being pushed down the stream by his subordinates, and Erchen can testify." ”

The queen glanced at Lu Qingzi who was standing aside, she was still really lucky, the eldest prince was willing to testify for her, and she got such a powerful witness.

"Since the emperor is willing to testify for you, this palace will let you live" The queen's voice was still cold, "However, even if this matter is not the fire you set on fire, but this matter may not have nothing to do with you, from now on, you will go to the temple to pray for blessings to eliminate the fruits of evil!" ”

Lu Qingzi knelt on the ground and bowed, and said indifferently: "Thank you for not killing." ”

After that, the palace people on both sides took Lu Qingzi down.

As soon as Lu Qingzi left, there were only the queen and Sun Hanlin in the hall at the moment, and Sun Hanlin would go down. The queen showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at him and said, "Emperor, were you really with Lu Meiren at that time?" ”

Sun Hanlin said respectfully without changing his face: "Erchen didn't dare to deceive his mother, Lu Meiren was pushed down the stream by his subordinates, and when she was struggling in the water, Erchen happened to pass by and rescued her. If Erchen was not there, presumably Lu Meiren would already be a dead body at this moment. ”

When the queen heard this, she thought for a moment, and then said to Sun Hanlin: "Since this is the case, then that's it, it's best to have nothing to do with her, and it will be less troublesome." ”

Sun Hanlin responded, and then said, "The minister will retire first." ”

The queen waved her hand: "Stand down!" ”

Sun Hanlin bowed and retreated, and the moment he turned around, he didn't see the queen's gaze, which was deep and long.

Lu Qingzi didn't even have a change of dry clothes, so he was already pressed by the two palace maids on the futon in the Buddhist hall and knelt down, then straightened his body and was forced to atone for his sins in front of the extremely solemn Buddha statue that he cultivated.

She looked at the Buddha statue with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. If you kill someone, if you just chant sutras and pray for blessings, can you really eliminate your karma? If this is the case, I am afraid that there will not be so many grievances and grievances in this world, and they will not be resolved until death.

The door of the Buddhist hall was closed, except for the guards guarding the door, there were only two palace maids watching her in this Buddhist hall. This Buddha hall is shady, and only a few beams of sunlight shine in outside. Here, not only did she fail to warm her, but instead made her already wet body chill.

At this moment, Lu Qingzi's mind was blank for a while, and she only felt that the cold was getting heavier and heavier, making her tremble. After a while, the cold finally dissipated. Lu Qingzi slowly felt that his body was gradually getting hotter, and then his body was hot, but his limbs were cold.

After standing up like this for a while, Lu Qingzi began to feel dizzy, her limbs were weak, and she couldn't even kneel steadily.

The two palace maids who were guarding the side were not far from her, and when they saw her cheeks flushed, they looked at each other and stepped forward, stretched out their hands to hold her swaying, and forced her to kneel straight.

Not long after the two palace maids let go of their hands, who would have thought that Lu Qingzi's eyes in front of him closed and he fainted on the futon. One of them stepped forward and wiped her forehead, already hot and hot. didn't care much, the palace maid hurriedly said to the other: "Go and tell the queen mother!" ”

The other palace maid was obviously a little flustered, and she walked quickly to the queen's palace, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Lu Meiren has a high fever, and she has fainted in the Buddha hall at this moment!" ”

The queen paused to flip through the book in her hand, and said without raising her head: "Send her to the cold palace, find a room that can still live and send it, don't let her defile the Buddha Hall!" ”

The little palace maid answered cautiously, and then bowed down and withdrew.

After a while, the queen said to Ruyu, who was waiting by her side: "Later, send someone to the cold palace to take care of her, don't let her die." ”

Ruyu said very meekly: "Yes, the slave maid wrote it down." ”

In the cold palace, which was almost burned to ruins, only the two houses at the very edge were still in good shape because of the rapid rescue.

Lu Qingzi was carried back to the cold palace, and the clothes on her body that were originally wet had dried out a little under the steaming of her hot body temperature. Her lips were white, and there was not a trace of blood on her face, and she was curled up on the bed, unable to move.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Qingzi felt that someone had stepped into this dilapidated house, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were dizzy, and it took a while for a while to see clearly that the person who came was Ruyu, the personal palace maid next to the queen.
