This voice made the other people in the hall regain their senses.

Xie Fenghua stood behind Zhao Pei and looked around the situation in the lower hall, his delicate face was full of solemnity.

This is an empty palace, with a furnace on the left hand side, and incense mist curls out from the ding.

At this moment, there were four people standing in front of Zhao Pei, in addition to Du Pingfei and Concubine Tang Xian, there were also Concubine Tang Xian's personal palace maid and a strange man. The man was hanging his head down, his body was slender, but he couldn't see his face.

And there was still a palace maid lying on the ground, her face showed a sickly white that only a dead person has, her eyes were closed, and blood was gushing out from her waist, which had already dyed the ground a pool of blood red.

The strong smell of blood permeated the entire palace, and the Zhijiao people vomited.

Looking at it this way, it looks like I've been dead for a long time!

Xie Fenghua unconsciously looked at Yuan Minzhou, but when he saw him shaking his head, he could only suppress the curiosity in his heart, stand beside him, and quietly watch the development of things.

And Concubine Tang Xian saw the three people entering the palace, her eyes flashed, and then she stepped forward quickly, crying to Zhao Pei: "Your Majesty, please be the master of the concubine!" ”

Zhao Pei glanced at it quickly, and his face suddenly became gloomy. The gloomy and majestic gaze fell on Du Pingfei's body, and he immediately said, "Queen, you come to answer me, what's going on?" ”

He was walking casually in the imperial garden after discussing things with the courtiers, but he met a eunuch who reported the news, saying that Du Pingfei had an accident and asked him to come over and take a look.

Subconsciously, he refused.

He knows very well how much ability Du Pingfei has. She doesn't calculate others, so thank God, where will something happen?

But at that time, there were still many ministers around him, including the second prince of the Northern Underworld Kingdom Ming Xu, after he got the news, he couldn't stand by and watch, so he could only bring a group of people here.

And these people, what they showed him was such a picture?

Concubine Tang Xian was startled and was about to continue crying, but was deterred by his sharp eyes, and her crying was cut in her throat.

The tip of her heart trembled, and she lowered her eyes slightly, covering the unwillingness and hatred in her eyes.

Du Pingfei has always maintained a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hearing Zhao Pei's question at this moment, the smile on her lips became a little colder, and she said, "Your Majesty, as you can see, there are dead people here." Coincidentally, both the concubines and the virtuous concubines were involved......"

"Queen Mother!" Concubine Tang Xian's face changed slightly, and she interrupted her words in a cold voice, "You had a private meeting with a strange man in the deep palace, and you also killed the palace maid of the concubine, shouldn't you give the emperor and the concubine an explanation?" ”

The moment he finished listening, two words suddenly popped up in Xie Fenghua's heart: ridiculous!

But Du Pingfei suddenly calmed down.

If she said that when she first saw the three people who walked in, she was still a little panicked. But after listening to Concubine Tang Xian's words, this panic disappeared without a trace.

She smiled mockingly, pointed to the palace maid lying in a pool of blood, and asked Concubine Xian: "This is the person in your palace?" ”

"Yes......" Concubine Tang Xian clutched the handkerchief in her hand, not understanding why she could be so calm.

Du Pingfei approached her, word by word, and said clearly: "This palace asks you, why did she die?" ”

Concubine Tang Xian pursed her lips and smiled, her gaze looking back at Du Pingfei was full of cold light, and she asked rhetorically: "Queen Mother, this question should be asked to you, right?" After all, when the concubine came, she was already dead at your feet. ”

Zhao Pei's eyes showed a trace of impatience, looked at Du Pingfei, and said in a cold tone: "Queen, what Concubine Xian said is true?" ”

"What does the emperor think?" Du Pingfei didn't answer the rhetorical question, his expression was faint, and he was a little cold.

Zhao Pei looked directly at her and did not speak.

Seeing this, Concubine Tang Xian was a little anxious in her heart, and answered herself: "Queen Mother, why do you have to give the emperor a problem? Shouldn't you think about such an ugly thing? ”

When Xie Fenghua heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

This Concubine Tang Xian is really too ignorant of advancing and retreating.

The emperor and queen have been married for many years, not to mention how much sincerity there is, but the tacit understanding between them still exists. In the current situation, some kind of tacit understanding may have been secretly reached between the two.

Concubine Tang Xian was so impatient, she was in a mess.

And Du Pingfei didn't wait for Zhao Pei's answer, his heart settled down a little, and then he looked at Concubine Tang Xian again, and sneered: "Concubine Xian, what are your intentions in being so anxious to pour dirty water on this palace?" ”

"The queen mother, the concubine just wants to seek justice." Concubine Tang Xian suddenly became righteous, pointed to the body of the palace maid on the ground, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "When the concubine came just now, I saw this palace maid lying at your feet. ”

The sneer on her lips flashed away, and she continued: "At that time, there were only you and this strange man in this hall, it was not you, it was this man's hand? ”

Du Pingfei snorted coldly, step by step, and slowly pressed towards Concubine Tang Xian.

Her appearance was born charming and beautiful, and because she had been in the back position for a long time, the natural momentum was inadvertently soaked between her eyebrows.

The light shone in through the window, and the wisps also shone on her face, which made her face a little more seductively ruddy. The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and the smile lines made her more and more luxurious and generous, but the gaze at the bottom of her eyes was cold and cold, and with a strong sense of mockery.

Seeing this, Concubine Tang Xian's heart tightened, and she unconsciously stepped back.

Since entering the palace, she has fought with Du Pingfei no less than 100 times, and she has returned with a feather. Many times, she almost thought that she had kicked an indestructible iron plate, hurting herself, but the other party was not affected.

It's not that it's not frustrating!

But she couldn't admit defeat, so she had to bite the bullet again and again, fighting with Du Pingfei in secret.

This time, she secretly got the news that Du Pingfei was investigating things related to her. For a while, a plan suddenly came to his heart, so he used his own affairs as bait to catch Du Pingfei and take the bait.

She asked people to find a strange man, and claimed to have her secret, concealed the damn eunuch Xiao Yao, and lured Du Pingfei here to plan this play. Subsequently, he ordered someone to find Zhao Pei, wanting to make Du Pingfei completely unable to turn over in front of everyone.

Who knows, those who wanted to come in to check on were stopped by Xie Yinghua halfway, which also gave Du Pingfei time to react.

Thinking of this, she secretly glared at Xie Fenghua, but she didn't reluctantly say: "Queen Mother, even if you have a weak heart, you can't persecute the concubine like this, right?" ”

"Why should this palace persecute you?" Du Pingfei sneered, "It seems that now, Concubine Xian doesn't want to turn back." Then the palace doesn't need to worry about anything. ”

Concubine Tang Xian's breath stagnated, but she suddenly stopped her approaching footsteps, turned to look at Zhao Pei, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, since you are also here, why don't you come and take a look, the means of our virtuous concubine!" ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Concubine Tang Xian to say anything, and kicked the strange man's knee.

With a plop, the man's knee ached, and he fell to his knees suddenly, not daring to say a word in pain.

Du Pingfei looked at him coldly and asked sharply, "This palace will give you a chance!" You said to yourself, who instructed you to slander this palace? ”

Concubine Tang Xian suddenly sneered, and also shouted at the man: "You Diao Min, why don't you hurry up and recruit from the truth?" Why is it here? What is the purpose? ”

Seeing her pretending like this, Du Pingfei sneered, and the insight in her eyes taught her not to look directly.

The man seemed to be very jealous, and finally said the first sentence, kowtowing to Du Pingfei and begging for mercy: "Niangniang, please save the grass people!" Didn't you say that as long as the grass people came out to testify against this person, they would not be punished by the grass people? ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Concubine Tang Xian, looking terrified.

As everyone knows, this expression and language have already made Du Pingfei furious, and he was about to step forward to kick him, but was blocked by Concubine Tang Xian, "Queen Mother, even if this person confesses you, you don't have to rush to kill people, right?" ”

"Good...... Concubine Xian is really a good means......" Du Pingfei pointed at the man and said, "It seems that you have prepared accordingly." So, next, are you going to talk about this palace maid? ”

Concubine Tang Xian gritted her teeth secretly, and unconsciously, she was taken the initiative by this woman again. Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he said quietly on his face: "What the queen mother said, the concubines can't understand it." Since there are witnesses, you must always listen to what the witnesses say, right? ”

She turned around, looked at Zhao Pei, and said, "Your Majesty, since this matter is very important, do you need to send the imperial doctor to take a look, the body of this palace maid?" ”

It was only at this moment that Xie Fenghua realized that Zhao Pei had been standing from the perspective of a bystander from beginning to end, and had never expressed any opinion on this. Do you believe that Du Pingfei was innocently framed, and want her to wash away her grievances with her own skills, or is she too lazy to deal with the fight between these two women who can't get on the stage?

Or maybe both?

Xie Fenghua's suspicious gaze came and went on these two women, and a funny idea suddenly sprouted in his heart - perhaps, this was just Concubine Tang Xian's one-man show from beginning to end!

How can this emperor and queen look like they have insight into everything?

She leaned over to Yuan Minzhou and complained in a low voice, "Master Hou, why don't we go first?" ”

Yuan Minzhou looked at her with doting in his eyes, and shook his head helplessly: "Don't look at it?" ”

"It's not fun!" Xie Fenghua said with a bitter face.

Moreover, the fact that she stopped Tomorrow Xiang just because she didn't want to expose such ugly things in front of others did not mean that she liked to watch the fight between these two women. was suddenly called in by Zhao Pei, and she was also very helpless!

Zhao Pei caught a glimpse of the interaction between the two of them out of the corner of his eye, but for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked Yuan Minzhou, "What did Dingyuan Hou say?" ”

This looks like I finally remembered the existence of these two people.

Yuan Minzhou secretly appeased Xie Fenghua, but said: "Your Majesty, since there is a cause for human life, even if it is not for anything else, you should let the imperial doctor come to see the cause of this palace maid's death." ”

He is a foreign minister, so it is not appropriate to get involved in the battle of the harem, and the answer seems to be decent.

At this time, Du Pingfei lowered his eyes and sneered: "It's just a palace maid, if you die, you will die, and you are too fussy to make a fuss, Concubine Xian." ”

"The queen mother is in a high position, so she is naturally used to seeing such scenes. But the concubines are not used to it! Concubine Tang Xian sneered at each other, this woman was like a dog that saw bones, and she didn't let go.

Zhao Pei looked at him deeply, then nodded, and ordered someone to invite Imperial Doctor Xu over.

Imperial Physician Xu came quickly, but when he saw the scene in the hall, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.

He is considered to be more senior in the Tai Hospital, but he has never done autopsy work. But after a brief inspection, he also walked in front of Zhao Pei and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this palace maid was seriously injured in the waist and abdomen with a sharp weapon, so she would not stop bleeding and die here." ”

"What sharp weapon?" Zhao Pei asked with a twisted eyebrow.

Imperial Physician Xu couldn't speak.

At this time, the palace maid beside Concubine Tang Xian suddenly knelt down and stretched out a blood-stained phoenix hairpin from her sleeve. The palace maid said in a low voice: "Imperial Doctor Xu, take a look, but this hairpin?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu stepped forward to take a look, and then compared the wound of the palace maid, and nodded: "It is indeed this hairpin." Your Majesty, look at this ......"

"You go down first." Zhao Pei's face was suddenly covered with frost, and after Imperial Doctor Xu left, he looked at Du Pingfei and asked in a cold voice, "Empress, what do you want to say?" ”

Du Pingfei laughed coldly: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the concubines. ”

It was said calmly, as if it had been expected to be like this. But Concubine Tang Xian thought that she had reached the end of the road, and said with a little smugness in her tone: "Queen Mother, now that these two witnesses say that you did it, what are you quibbling about?" ”

"A living man can lie, let alone a dead man at the mercy of others?" Du Pingfei was not afraid, and said to himself, "Concubine Xian, you have to insist on a private meeting with this man in this palace in life or death, what is the purpose of killing this palace maid?" ”

"Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't understand what you mean." Concubine Tang Xian said, "The concubine only knows that you killed the palace maid around the concubine in order to conceal it." The concubine just asked for justice for the innocent and tragic death of the palace maid, what's wrong with this? ”

Du Pingfei's eyebrows were dyed with a trace of impatience, and he immediately asked: "Okay, this palace asks you, which eye did you see that this palace had a private meeting with this man?" ”

Concubine Tang Xian subconsciously said: "Queen Mother, when the concubine came, you were with this man......"

"It's a pity that this palace doesn't believe you, and I don't believe in your eyes." Du Pingfei sneered, bared his white teeth, and said to Zhao Pei, "Your Majesty, you have also seen it, this is just the words of the virtuous concubine." There was no one else to testify to, and she did see what her concubine had done. And during this time, she and her concubines also competed fiercely, maybe there were still hidden thoughts? ”

Concubine Tang Xian immediately shouted, "Queen Mother, the concubine saw it with her own eyes, is there any fake?" ”

Du Pingfei raised his eyebrows and said, "Apart from you, who else has seen it?" ”

"You ......" Concubine Tang Xian choked for a while, and subconsciously glared at Xie Fenghua.

If it weren't for Xie Fenghua, those people outside would have come to the impact, where would it be Du Pingfei's turn to bite this "one-sided word"?

But if she wants to let it go, she is quite unwilling.

"Enough!" Zhao Pei has been watching for so long, and he has a clue about these little tricks, and he turned around and was about to walk out, but Concubine Tang Xian looked at him in disbelief, and was about to walk out of the palace gate.

She said: "Your Majesty, please be the master of the concubines!" The queen mother committed such a heinous crime......"

She couldn't continue.

Because Zhao Pei's eyes suddenly stared at her coldly, like an ice blade on her face, she was afraid in her heart, and then lowered her head.

And she made a fuss in the end, the people outside the palace gate had already listened to everything they should have heard, and King Beiheng suddenly trotted up, first saluted Zhao Pei, and then asked with concern: "Concubine Xian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Pei suddenly raised his head, his gaze was too sharp, which directly made King Beiheng's heart tremble.

He suddenly said, "Lord Wang, are you worried that I have treated Concubine Xian badly?" ”

"Don't dare!" King Beiheng pondered for a moment and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, what happened just now?" Why does this matter have anything to do with the queen's mother? ”

Zhao Pei didn't answer, but his eyes fell on the front, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

King Beiheng continued: "Your Majesty, you also know that the ministers and dogs are about to leave Tianjing......

"You can stay in Tianjing. No need to go back. Zhao Pei said suddenly.

As everyone knows, King Beiheng was suddenly taken aback.

It's just a few more questions, and it turns out that this ending has come?

Although they also wanted to stay in Tianjing before, there was a world of difference between volunteering to stay and being left behind by Zhao Pei!

King Beiheng hurriedly wanted to explain, but he didn't want to, Zhao Pei had already raised his hand impatiently to interrupt, and repeated: "That's it." Since you don't worry about Concubine Xian, then stay in Tianjing. ”

With that, he was about to turn and leave.

didn't want to, but Du Pingfei suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, please stay." The concubine has something to say. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Pei seemed to have given her enough patience, although his face was already impatient, he still suppressed himself, and he was not as unhappy as he was with Beiheng Wang and the others.

And this discovery made King Beiheng feel bad in his heart.

Du Pingfei suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine suffered such a humiliation today, if she doesn't get justice, I'm afraid she will never be able to appear in front of people again in the future." Since Concubine Xian has made up her mind to make a big deal about this matter, it will be as she wishes. ”

Concubine Tang Xian raised her head suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, don't spew blood." When did the concubine ever think about making a big fuss? If you are really upright and not afraid of shadows, why are you afraid of rumors? ”

Du Pingfei sneered: "Concubine Xian, don't be too happy. Why don't you tell me why your handmaid died? ”

"Naturally, you killed me." Concubine Xian gritted her teeth in anger.

Du Pingfei agreed, "Yes, this person was killed by this palace." But why didn't you ask why this palace wanted to kill her? ”

Xie Fenghua listened on the side, his face was inexplicable, "Queen Mother, you shouldn't be a demon, right?" ”

How can anyone take the initiative to take things personally?

This person, I'm afraid he's not crazy?

Du Pingfei just glanced at her lightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not lying, but the matter is very important, and it has to be handled carefully." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly got up, took out a piece of fabric from the dead palace maid, and spread it out in front of everyone, "Concubine Xian, do you recognize this thing?" ”

Concubine Tang Xian's eyes flashed, and she suddenly said: "The concubine naturally recognizes it, this is not ......"

"Since you recognize it, it's easy to say." Du Pingfei interrupted her words coldly, handed it to Zhao Pei, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please take a look." ”

Zhao Pei took it and took a look, but found that there were messy words on it, and immediately puzzled: "Queen, what did you show me?" ”

There was already undisguised displeasure in his tone.

Unexpectedly, Du Pingfei seemed to know his impatience, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "The concubine thinks that this is like some kind of rune, so I should ask Qin Tianjian to come here." ”

When it came to Qin Tianjian, everyone's faces changed slightly.

Zhao Pei slanted at her coldly, and then ordered someone to invite Qin Tianjian. While waiting, no one even said a word. Until Qin Tianjian came over and read out the words on it, it was a birthday eight characters.

Zhao Pei was suddenly furious, and said angrily: "Who is this thing?" ”

His face seemed to have accumulated a violent storm for thousands of years, and at this moment, pinching this cloth, the momentum of the whole person became bloodthirsty and cold, which made people feel frightened.

Seeing this, Du Pingfei lowered his head and covered the sneer in his eyes.

She knew it was still like this!

Every time he encounters that person, Zhao Pei will always be so angry!

At this moment, Zhao Pei suddenly looked at Concubine Tang Xian coldly, and said, "Concubine Xian, didn't you say that you recognize this thing?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......" Concubine Tang Xian saw that the situation was wrong, so naturally she couldn't admit it hastily, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and then she said, "The concubine's confirmation is this thing." This fabric looks familiar, it seems to be something from the palace of the concubine......"

Unexpectedly, Du Pingfei couldn't help laughing, "Concubine Xian, do you know whose birthday is written on it?" If you want to find someone to take the blame for you, it won't be like this, right? What's more, why did the fabric of the concubine appear on a palace maid? Isn't there your handwriting? ”

She originally disdained to fight with this stupid woman, but there are always some people who don't want to come up, so don't blame her for not showing mercy!

Just thinking like this, she suddenly felt an abnormality, raised her eyes, and saw Zhao Peizheng looking at her coldly, the cold light in her eyes forced her to take a few steps back, and she didn't dare to meet such a gaze again.

Concubine Tang Xian was a little stunned, and she didn't understand the turmoil between the emperor and the queen, so she still said: "Your Majesty, this fabric, the concubine will not admit that it is wrong, it is indeed the concubine's, as for why it appeared on the concubine's palace maid, then I can only ask the concubine......"

Zhao Pei waved his hand, as if he didn't want to see her again, and ordered in a cold voice: "Concubine Xian will stay in the palace during this time, don't come out if you have nothing to do." Bring me down. ”

Concubine Tang Xian was inexplicably puzzled, but was stopped and glared at by King Beiheng, and swallowed back into her stomach without speaking.

Du Pingfei watched from afar, only sneering. The eight characters of the birthday on this were originally Zhao Pei's, but she replaced them with Xie Fenghua's. Although I feel uncomfortable, I can finally get back into the game.

Xie Fenghua will always be Zhao Pei's reverse scale! Once something happens, he's always so desperate to defend that person. For example, this time, knowing that this person had something strange, he didn't even ask, and only planted the matter on Concubine Tang Xian's head.

This is indiscriminate maintenance!

Speaking of which, it's ridiculous!

It's a pity that Concubine Tang Xian will never understand this!

But Zhao Pei walked up to Du Pingfei, handed the fabric in his hand to her, the haze on his face became a little thicker, and said with a meaning that only the two of them understood: "Queen, this is the last time!" ”

"Heh......" Du Pingfei only felt funny, and took the silent warning, but when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to go to Putuo Temple in a few days to pray for the blessings of the people of my Liang Dynasty!" Please ask the emperor for permission! ”
