The queen swept Wan Zhaoyi lightly, and said solemnly: "It's about the emperor's heir, Wan Zhaoyi can just say what she knows, and you must not hide it at all." ”

Wan Zhaoyi's face was pale, and she said, "Yes, at that time, all the sisters outside the Yaoguang Hall were busy entering the hall, so they didn't see it. But the concubine saw it clearly, Rou Xiuyi fell, not by accident, but by someone stepping on her skirt. ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces were shocked and uncertain, and the queen asked, "Who is it?" ”

Without waiting for Wan Zhaoyi to answer, Wu Chenghui took the lead and said: "Why didn't Sister Zhaoyi say it early or late, but at this time, it was said that someone stepped on Rou Xiuyi's skirt, which is inevitably suspected of covering up Rou Xiuyi." ”

Concubine Wang's eyes were as clear as pearls, and her tone was as cold as jade: "Who doesn't know that Rou Xiuyi has not been in the palace for a long time, and she is not very familiar with the sisters, and she does not often communicate with each other. As for Wan Zhaoyi, except for inviting An to meet in the past, she didn't even say a word, the two did not intersect, how could they be suspected of covering up! ”

"Not necessarily." Zhao Lierong quickly answered, "If the two really have the intention to collude and communicate secretly, how can we and other clumsy people be able to see it." If Wan Zhaoyi wanted to help Rou Xiuyi clear her name and point fingers at one of our sisters, wouldn't it be wronged. ”

"Presumptuous!" Seeing that her beloved was defiled, Chen Qian finally couldn't help but be angry, "Wan Zhaoyi is older than you, and her position is even higher than you, how can you make no distinction between dignity and inferiority, trespass, speak falsely, and then talk nonsense, I will make someone cut your tongue!" ”

Hearing that he was going to cut his tongue, Zhao Lierong was so frightened that he was speechless, his face turned white, and Wu Chenghui was also shocked, and his lips were pursed tightly, for fear that his tongue would be cut.

The queen said undoubtedly, "Wan Zhaoyi's temperament is the most indifferent, and she has nothing to do with others, and this palace believes in her." ”

The emperor and empress all said so, so naturally no one dared to question it again.

Wan Zhaoyi said unhurriedly: "The reason why the concubine didn't say it until now is because the concubine wants to see whether this person's actions are intentional or unintentional. If she had no intention, she would naturally not let Rou Xiuyi be wronged, and would definitely stand up and clarify; If you are interested, I am afraid that you will watch the fire from the other side. ”

"This move can not only get rid of the child in Xu Jieyu's womb, but also pull Rou Xiuyi as a scapegoat." Wan Zhaoyi looked around at the woman, her blue lips opened lightly, and she said heavily, "This person's intentions are really suspicious. ”

Then, Wan Zhaoyi's eyes converged into one point, and it landed on one person, "Zhang Xiurong, what do you have to say?" ”

As soon as the words landed, everyone's eyes stared at Zhang Xiurong, only to see that her face was pale, her slender body trembled slightly, and even the pearl and jade ring hairpin on her hair bun trembled.

I really didn't expect that on weekdays, when I saw her looking like a weak willow and a slender beauty, she was so deep in her mind that she calculated on my head.

First of all, Wang Guifei sneered, "Zhang Xiurong, you are really unseemly, I looked at you in Su Ri and looked pitiful, but I didn't expect you to be such a vicious heart." ”

Chen Qian was shocked at first, then disappointed, resentful, and disgusted, "Zhang Xiurong, you really disappointed me. What else do you have to say, poisonous woman! ”

The disgusted gaze stung Zhang Xiurong's eyes, she knelt down tremblingly, her face was like ashes, burning out little by little, and said lonely: "The concubine has nothing to say, and the concubine confesses." ”

Wan Zhaoyi walked around Zhang Xiurong, her eyes were like frost, indescribably cold, and asked Zhang Xiurong, "My child has lost it, but what did you do?" ”

Zhang Xiurong's eyes didn't have too many ripples, but he said in a dead silence like the night: "You know everything?" ”

Wan Zhaoyi's eyes were slightly red, and she was sad and sad, "We have supported each other for so many years, and I have always regarded you as a sister and never doubted you." When I was pregnant, you accidentally cut my hand while cutting the cloth for me, and you took a box of Snow Jade Muscle Cream to apologize to me, saying that it could heal the scars and get back to life. I believed it, but after I used your Snow Jade Muscle Cream, my child was gone! ”

"I've always suspected that someone else did it, and I've always wanted to find out who caused my miscarriage, but I can't find out who it is." Wan Zhaoyi's face was shocked, and it gradually became intense, "It's still that Ayaqiu next to me has an extra heart, and takes the Snow Jade Muscle Cream you gave me to check on Imperial Doctor Gao." Imperial Physician Gao told me that there is a very rare 'drunken dream powder' in it, which is not detected by ordinary imperial physicians......

Wan Zhaoyi looked at Zhang Xiurong, her tears were hazy like a desolate moonlight, containing endless sadness and pain, "It's that drunken dream powder that caused me to lose my child, I didn't expect that the person who started it was you......"

Chen Qian was also stunned and shocked on his face, thinking that he had just learned about it, he looked at Zhang Xiurong's eyes with even more disgust, and said with deep disgust: "You hurt me and Wanxi's child? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiurong confessed without hesitation, her eyes were dead, maybe what made her heart die and no longer refute was not Wan Zhaoyi's eloquent accusations, but Chen Qian's disgusting hatred, which made her heart ache and cold, and finally turned into dead despair.

At this time, everyone couldn't understand that there was an accident outside the Yaoguang Palace, and there was no doubt that Zhang Xiurong was a ghost, Xu Jieyu looked at Zhang Xiurong in shock, "Sister Zhang, are you ...... Why are you hurting me? ”

Zhang Xiurong didn't pay attention to her, and his eyes fell on Chen Qian's face in a daze, "Your Majesty, you have been calling me lovingly all these years, but do you still remember my name?" 嫚妩, the concubine is called 嫚妩, soft and feminine, charming and delicate (2). Your Majesty, how can you forget what you said? ”

It seemed that his heart was so painful that he couldn't bear it, Zhang Xiurong supported the ground with one hand, pressed his heaving chest with the other, and looked at Chen Qian with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty is the husband of the concubine, the concubine respects you and loves you, and is willing to do anything for you, but I can't bear to share my husband with other women." His Majesty first had Wan Zhaoyi, and then Wang Guifei, Kong Guifei, Han Xiuhua, Xu Jieyu, and Rou Xiuyi...... The concubines have been enduring for a year, two years, three years...... The concubine really couldn't bear it anymore. I saw my husband spending the night with other women, but he was alone and cold, and he was alone in the empty room. The concubine can't stand such a day anymore! ”

"The concubine also wants to be a generous woman, but seeing my husband and other women loving each other, the concubine's heart hurts, hates it, and is about to go crazy with jealousy! The concubine is useless, the concubine really can't do it! ”

Tears flowed from the bottom of his eyes, Zhang Xiurong couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

I quietly glanced at the people around me, and found that many of them had faint tears, presumably Zhang Xiurong's words went to their hearts, and what Zhang Xiurong said was not their hearts? It's just that they can't say it, let alone do it, they can only hide, tuck it, and slowly endure the pain and suffering in their hearts. The poor group of women, the emperor is ruthless, and will never love them, but only use them as tools to warm the bed and have fun, and reproduce offspring. If they love the King of God, they will only seek trouble for themselves and hurt their bodies and hearts.

"So you're going to harm Wan Zhaoyi, Rou Xiuyi, and Xu Jieyu?" Zhang Xiurong's crying touched Chen Qian a little, but it could never offset Chen Qian's disgust for her, and she was still indifferent to questioning.

The queen looked at Zhang Xiurong with a pitiful and compassionate gaze, "Even folk men have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the emperor who has three thousand fandel." You can't see it yourself, and who can you blame, let alone harm others. In the final analysis, it is because you have a wrong mind that will cause harm to others. You are also a mother and have children, aren't you weak and afraid when you go to harm Wan Zhaoyi and Xu Jieyu's children? Compare your heart to your heart, your child is a child, and someone else's child is not a child, how can you be so ruthless? ”

The queen said that Zhang Xiurong's tearful face was filled with shame, and she lowered her head and pleaded: "Everything is the sin of the concubine, and I hope that Your Majesty will treat the Nine Emperor Princes well, and don't be angry with him, he is still so young, he doesn't know anything." ”

Speaking of the Nine Emperor Princes, Chen Qian's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Boyi is my child, and I will treat him well." You are not worthy to be Boyi's mother. ”

"Cultivating the Zhang family, being jealous and immoral, mutilating the emperor's heir, from now on, he will be demoted to a beloved and assigned to Yongxiang." After Chen Qian finished announcing, he swept Zhang Xiurong indifferently without a trace of affection, "You can go to Yongxiang and be with Pan Cairen." From now on, I will never see you again! ”

"It's fine." Zhang Xiurong smiled lightly and bitterly, like a decadent flower, "From love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from your lover, you will not be afraid of worry." ”

Chen Qian's gaze swept coldly over Wu Chenghui and Zhao Lierong, making the two tremble in fright, and said in a deep voice: "Chenghui Wu, Lierong Zhao, playing with tongue and stirring up right and wrong, all of them are reduced to good people and fined for one year." ”

After disposing of the three people, the concubines went to the main hall of the Yaoguang Palace one after another in order to participate in the queen's birthday banquet. However, when encountering the incident just now, everyone couldn't lift their spirits, and the queen was also lacking in interest, who would be happy if such a thing happened at her birthday banquet?

It wasn't until the two sons, the crown prince Chen Bozong, and the king of Shixing, Chen Bomao, came to celebrate the queen's birthday with gifts, and said a lot of interesting things to make the queen happy, that the queen's face gradually smiled. The concubines under the seat did not give in, and gave gifts one after another, such as famous ancient paintings, pearls and jade treasures. Although the Queen Mother did not come to the banquet, she also sent a string of Canaan Buddhist beads to congratulate.

The two sons of the queen sat on the left side of the queen, and then there were some children of the royal family, and between laughter and laughter, King An Cheng drank silently alone, and his expression was indescribably lonely.

Among a group of concubines, no matter how I look at Wan Zhaoyi, I feel beautiful, she is really a big beauty who is alive and easy, and the more I look at it, the more charming it is. She didn't dress up like others to win the emperor's attention, nor did she have that kind of expectant gaze, her eyebrows were faint, like an elegant and quiet white lotus on the Lingbo River.

This kind of desireless and indifferent appearance can make a man's heart gallop the most, and it can also arouse a man's desire to conquer the most. Men are like this, what is easy to get is discarded, what you can't get is the best, the more you can't get it, the more you want to get it, and the more you want to get it, the more you cherish and pamper it. This may be one of the reasons why Wan Zhaoyi can get Chen Qian's favor and stay in favor for a long time.
