"Father-in-law An, bring Xiaoxiang up." Chu Ling ordered with a cold expression.

Grandpa An nodded and walked out the door.

After a while, Xiao Xiang walked in, trembling and kneeling on the ground, her whole body was twitching, as if it was very cold at minus degrees deep.

"Xiaoxiang, did you say that the soup you sent to the concubine was ordered by the queen mother to send it to you?" Chu Ling's pupils tightened, and her sharp gaze stared at Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiang glanced at the herbs kneeling beside her, then retracted her gaze, and came out in a slightly trembling voice: "Back to the emperor, it was sent by the queen's mother's slave." ”

Chu Ling's eyes became cold, and she shot straight at Xiao Xiang with penetrating power, and asked in a very compelling voice: "Halfway through, has anyone ever touched this soup, or did you poison it and frame the queen?" ”

When Xiaoxiang heard this, her whole body tensed, she shook her head hurriedly, and said negatively: "The slave and maid don't have it, even if the slave and maid are given a hundred guts, the slave and the maid don't dare." This soup was sent by the queen to the slave maid, saying that this concubine had a miscarriage, and she was also responsible, so she asked the slave to send the soup over to talk about her concern, but the slave didn't expect that there would be poison in this soup. ”

Chu Ling's expression was dark, and he stared at Xiao Xiang coldly as if he was frozen.

"Your Majesty, everything the slave said is true, the slave doesn't dare to lie! The slaves and maids are innocent, they are all made by the queen mother, please let the emperor know. Xiao Xiang continued, very pitiful and aggrieved, and pushed her guilt away, all on Wei Xueying's orders.

Chu Ling frowned, closed her eyes, and fell silent.

Wei Xueying's expression was still indifferent, her eyes were bright and bright, and there were no distractions.

Prime Minister Meng's sneer kept appearing on his face, and his eyes were full of gloomy aura.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunluo gritted her teeth and thought for a while, her heart was crossed, and she suddenly opened the hand that Wei Xueying was holding, and then rushed to the middle of the hall and knelt down in front of Chu Ling.

Wei Xueying stared at Li Yunluo unexpectedly, and asked incredulously, "Yunluo, what are you doing?" At this moment, a bad premonition rose again in my heart.

When Chu Ling heard Wei Xueying's voice, she immediately opened her eyes and stared at Li Yunluo in surprise.

Li Yunluo slowly raised her eyes and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, these things are all done by slaves and maids, and it is not the queen's business. This Xiaoxiang and Fangcao are all following the slave maid to serve the queen's mother, but usually the slave and maid are disciplining and calling them, and the queen mother has never had intimate contact with them, let alone directly order them if there is something, even if there is something to say to the slave. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with the queen's mother, it is all done by the slave and maid alone. ”

Everyone's faces changed again, and a look of shock appeared, and they all froze in place.

"Li Yunluo, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Xueying's handsome face flashed a trace of imperceptible sadness, and she scolded sharply.

"Queen Mother, it's the slave who is sorry for you, the slave and the slave have wasted your love for the slave." Li Yunluo turned around slightly and apologized to Wei Xueying.

Wei Xueying's eyes were full of astringency, and she shook her head helplessly, and when she wanted to speak, Li Yunluo continued to open her mouth to block her words.

"Your Majesty, this is all done by slaves and maids, if you want to punish them, you will punish the slaves and maids alone! Even if the slave died, the slave did not dare to complain. Li Yunluo turned around again and confessed to Chu Ling, her expression was very serious, and it didn't look like she was lying.

"Ridiculous, what are you doing with a personal palace maid? You say you did it, you did it? How can you be sure that it has nothing to do with the queen? Chu Ling's face was already a little stunned, and he scolded angrily with a straight face, looking at Wei Xueying intentionally or unintentionally.

"No, it was a slave who did it, it was really a slave." Li Yunluo said in a panic, her eyes flashed brightly, and she continued to add:

"The slave and maid hated the concubine Niangniang, and the queen suffered all kinds of accusations and abuse because of the concubine's miscarriage, and was favored by the emperor, so the slave and maid couldn't stand it, so Xiaoxiang and Fangcao did these things, and wanted to teach the concubine Niangniang a lesson. But the queen didn't know in advance that it was all done by the slave and maid. ”

Li Yunluo stopped all the blame on herself and denied that Wei Xueying was involved.

The corners of Wei Xueying's mouth pursed a wry smile, and her helpless gaze swept over the faces of Chu Ling and Prime Minister Meng, and then fell heavily on Li Yunluo's body, and said in a cold voice:

"Yunluo, what you said is useless, they won't believe what you say, you are the palace maid of this palace, what you do, even if this palace doesn't know, but they will think that this palace did it, you don't need to come to this troubled water. What's more, this palace and you have never done this at all. ”

Wei Xueying's eyes flashed with warning, hoping that Li Yunluo would not be so stupid, what she said was useless at all, and no one would believe it.

Moreover, she was very surprised that Li Yunluo would jump out and admit the matter, it was okay if she didn't admit it, this admission would make things even more troublesome.

"Queen Mother, the slave knows that you are good to the slave and the slave, and you trust the slave and the maid very much, but the slave and the maid have done these things because of your trust in the slave and the maid. I'm sorry for you, the slave is willing to die to make amends. Li Yunluo said with a cry, her black eyes were deep, and she hid her apologies.

Wei Xueying's heart tightened for a while, and the most reproachful gaze flashed in her eyes: "Yunluo, why are you so stupid?" "Her heart hurts.

Because she suddenly realized at this moment that Li Yunluo did all this to protect her, Yunluo was afraid that she would be punished for this matter, so in order to protect her, she stood up and admitted the matter.

She knew that Li Yunluo wanted to stop all these blames on herself and tell everyone that she was not involved, but this was impossible, and Li Yunluo was carrying the blame indiscriminately.

You must know that once Li Yunluo admits this matter, Li Yunluo's life will be ruined in the future, and maybe he will be executed, but the words have already been said and cannot be taken back, not to mention that there is Prime Minister Meng, who is a good showman.

Moreover, Li Yunluo's admission will make her uncomfortable, and she feels even more as if she has really done something!

A hint of deep understanding flashed in the depths of Prime Minister Meng's eyes, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, although this palace maid said so, but a palace maid will be so bold?" Wechen didn't believe it. ”

Chu Ling stared at Prime Minister Meng with a slight sarcasm and untired eyes, and said sharply: "Could it be that Lord Meng means that the queen is involved in it, and I want to dispose of the queen together." Or maybe Master Dream thinks that I don't have the ability to discern this matter, and I still need you to teach me? ”

When Prime Minister Meng heard Chu Ling say this, he lowered his head in fear and said cowardly:

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't mean this, the emperor misunderstood, but there are many doubts in this matter, and it can't be concluded that this matter has nothing to do with the queen because of a palace maid's words, Weichen still hopes that the emperor will find out about this matter, not only to the little girl, but also to the people of the world. If you do it hastily, I am afraid that you will not be able to convince the public. ”
