Chapter 174: Chaos on the Yuan Festival

"Wei'er, it's clear that you didn't do those things at all, why don't you explain?" Zhou Jinhuan took Zhou Caiwei's hand, her hand was very cold, especially when she saw the smile on Zhou Jinhuan's face.

"Zhou Jinhuan, what do you want to say?" The Queen Mother didn't look down on their sisters, and this scene made her even more angry.

"Back to the Queen Mother, that Zijuan is lying, whether Wei'er went to Changchun Hall around noon This concubine doesn't dare to say, but Zijuan's statement that Wei'er went to Changchun Hall at three o'clock is false, because at that time, the concubine was eating tea with Wei'er in Changde Palace, unless she has a doppelganger, how could she find out that she is in Changchun Palace?" After Zhou Jinhuan said this, Zhou Caiwei was obviously more confused. She knew early on that time was wrong, but the person who could prove her was Zhou Jinhuan, she had long realized that this was Zhou Jinhuan's plan to kill two birds with one stone, and Zhou Jinhuan would not help her at all, but she didn't think of it......

Why help her?

"The relationship between the two of you is known to the entire harem, why should the mourning family believe your words?" The queen mother's reaction was expected by her, Zhou Jinhuan was already quite gorgeous, she was still a princess, and she smiled beautifully, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, quite aggressive, she replied: "The entire Changde Palace can testify, the queen mother can ask if you don't believe it?"

This is simply a provocation, and the Queen Mother's face is even more ugly: "That Changde Palace is full of virtuous concubines, who can not protect their masters?"

"The concubine swears, at that point in time, she was really with Sister A, and she didn't step into the Changchun Hall at all, if there is half a lie, there is no place to bury her!" This is the most poisonous oath, everyone present was so shocked that they couldn't speak, and the corner of Zhou Jinhuan's lips swayed an elusive smile: "The concubine knows that the Queen Mother has always disliked our two sisters, but in the end, it is a matter of human life, and you can't just wronged people, right?"

Obviously, Zhou Caiwei was already on the side of the initiative, because of Zhou Jinhuan's words, the queen mother's anger was provoked again, and she spoke: "The mourning family doesn't want to get entangled with you about those messy things, even if the person who appeared in the Changchun Hall at that time was not a virtuous concubine, the person who came to the Changchun Hall around noon was always you, right?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine did go to the Changchun Hall around noon, and the fire in the Changchun Hall had nothing to do with the concubine. Zhou Caiwei's words provoked Zijuan's rebuttal: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Xian Niangniang is lying, the slave maid saw it with her own eyes, when the Changchun Hall was on fire, Concubine Xian Niangniang was standing at the door of the room, who else would the person who set the fire besides Concubine Xian Niangniang?"

"If the palace really wants to set fires, how can it be picked in the daytime, and when the fire is burned, there are still two palace maids present......" The two palace people also knelt on the side all the time, but they didn't have a chance to speak.

"What the hell was going on at that time, you two should make it clear to the mourners!" Things seemed to be a little more complicated.

"Back to the Queen Mother, at that time, Xiaobei and I just stood on both sides with our heads down, and we didn't find anything, I only remember that Concubine Xian pushed open the door, and then the room was on fire. "The palace people are very happy with this pot, anyway, it was because you Zhou Caiwei came to our Changchun Hall that the Changchun Hall caught fire, yes, on the surface you didn't do anything, but in the place where we can't see, no one knows what you did.

"Queen of Heaven, the words of these two palace people are really interesting, they didn't see Wei'er set fire, but they said that Wei'er's means were clever, isn't this a trick?" Zhou Jinhuan added another fire.

No wind, no waves, no flies, people like to use such words to frame innocent people, don't they?

"Eniang, according to Erchen, it is better to slow down this matter for the time being, after all, it is the Shangyuan Festival now, if it affects the overall situation because of this matter, it will not be good. "This matter can't be solved in a moment, Zhao Yu is looking at the overall situation, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to be wrong, thinking that he was going to protect Zhou Caiwei, and blurted out: "There is nothing wrong with the emperor saying this, but the death of Concubine De is inseparable from Concubine Xian, so you have to do something, otherwise the mourning family is afraid that they won't be able to sleep this night!"

This is forcing Zhao Yu to do something to Zhou Caiwei, Zhou Jinhuan smiled slightly, and answered: "The concubine thinks it's inappropriate, today is the Shangyuan Festival, it is not appropriate to exaggerate the matter of Concubine De's mother, and secondly, what the two palace maids said can't prove that the person who set the fire is Wei'er, plus Zijuan said something wrong at this point in time, the concubine has reason to believe that this is a conspiracy of the Changchun Palace against Wei'er......"

"Bold!" The Queen Mother was so angry that her muscles bulged out, and she pointed at her and reprimanded: "You are all remnants of the previous dynasty, but you rely on the emperor's little favor for you and don't know that the sky is thick, and a person like Yanran will not even want his own life in order to wronged you?!"

"Passing on the will of the mourning family, the virtuous concubine Zhou is vicious and jealous. From today onwards, the position will be abolished, demoted to a concubine, imprisoned in Changde Palace, and all the concubines will be withdrawn behind closed doors!"

"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager. Zhou Caiwei took the order, raised her eyes to look at Zhao Yu, and then turned her eyes to Zhou Jinhuan, frustrated and resentful.

She is the biggest suspect, but if it weren't for Zhou Jinhuan beating the side drum on the side, the Queen Mother would not have been so angry and angry.

From the head of the three concubines to the concubines, this really fell directly from the sky to the ground, and it hurt too much.

However, the Queen Mother also knew that her decision was too ruthless and too rash, after all, there was no definite evidence to prove that the arson case in the Changchun Hall was related to her.

So even though she was demoted to a concubine, she was not sent to the cold palace, which shows that she still has a chance.

As long as you have the opportunity, you can't despair, this is the criterion for survival in the harem.

The arson case of Changchun Hall came to an end temporarily, Concubine De died, Concubine Xian Niangniang was demoted to a concubine, and only Zhou Jinhuan was left in the entire harem.

"Wan'er, it is said that I should be the most relaxed at this time, why am I still in such a heavy mood?" After returning to Changle Palace, Zhou Jinhuan couldn't even drink tea, she hated Qian Yanran, she hated Zhou Caiwei, and now that both of them have no threat to themselves, it stands to reason that she should be happy.

"Niangniang, since the matter has passed, don't think about it anymore. Su Wan comforted her and changed the topic: "Niangniang said before that Wan'er would contact Zhang Zilang and Hei Laosan, but now that the palace is in chaos, has the plan changed?"

"Now is the best time, why change?" the more chaotic the palace is, the better it is for her, isn't it?

At that time, the arson was placed on the Shangyuan Festival, one was to let Zhao Yu make an alibi for himself, and the other was to take advantage of the chaos to meet Zhang Zilang and them.

"But Niangniang, will Zhao Yu let you out of the palace?" can ask such a thing, which means that Su Wan still doesn't know Zhao Yu, and he will naturally let her out of the palace, because he promised her, especially when he agreed, he felt guilty about Xiao Chuxia's drug abuse, he was already dishonest with her, if he was dishonest again......

A face-loving person like Zhao Yu will never let the dishonesty happen again and again.

Zhou Jinhuan waited for Zhao Yu in Changle Palace peacefully, but for a long time, he didn't come, maybe he was tripped up by the person from Changde Palace, right?

"The emperor has arrived!" Zhou Jinhuan really wanted to come to something, Zhou Jinhuan patted his face and cheered himself up a little.

"Haven't had lunch yet?" After entering Changle Palace, Zhao Yu's first sentence turned out to be this, Zhou Jinhuan shook his head: "No, the emperor promised his concubines to eat out of the palace, if they are full at this time, won't they be able to eat delicious food outside?"

"Then you want to go out of the palace?" When Zhao Yu asked this, it seemed to have several meanings, Zhou Jinhuan smiled, as if he didn't hear his deep meaning at all: "I've been in the palace for another year, I haven't breathed the outside air for too long, I miss it too much." ”

"If you want to, then I'll take you. Zhao Yu took her hand, put it to her lips, kissed it gently, and said softly, "Okay, let's go." ”

Before the fire in the Changchun Palace was sorted out, Zhao Yu pulled her out of the palace together, and after the queen mother of Fengzao Palace learned the news, she was so angry that she almost overturned the table.

The world outside the palace, she misses it so much, but it's a pity that there is one more person by her side.

Zhao Yu can accompany her for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to accompany her all the time, he is the emperor, he must show up on such an important festival, plus the arson case of Changchun Palace, he always has to give an explanation.

A piece of news, even if the people of Yecheng don't know, it is impossible for the ministers of the previous dynasty not to hear the news at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinhuan's mood seemed to be a little better.

"I ...... I remember you used to like to eat sugar gourds. Zhao Yu took a sugar gourd and handed it to her, there were so many things today, but he still smiled, Zhou Jinhuan took the sugar gourd, thinking of Qian Yanran, who had become ancient, it was obviously such a bright sunshine, but a coldness rose from the bottom of his heart.

Qian Yanran followed Zhao Yu for so long, as a concubine when he was still the king of Changshan, she followed him for so many years, and finally died in the palace, and the man she loved even wanted to buy sugar gourds for other women, saying that he was a scumbag, no one would disagree, right?

"What, don't like to eat it?" Zhao Yu saw that she had been staring at the sugar gourd, and she didn't make any moves, she gave the sugar gourd to him: "What you said was a long time ago, I haven't eaten sugar gourds for a long time." ”

She also thought of the time when Zhao Qing came to Xiao Mansion to play prestige, and Xiao Jingzhi bought her the last string of sugar gourds that winter in the cold wind.

Since he left, she has never eaten sugar gourds again.

As she expected, Zhao Yu still had her own affairs, but what made her a little puzzled was that he didn't ask for her opinion, but asked Su Wan to accompany her to watch the lanterns.

The lanterns are only available at night, so Zhao Yu acquiesced to her playing outside the palace until night.

Surprised, but thinking of the mess in the Changchun Palace, she relaxed a little: she should just want to deal with the affairs of the Changchun Palace, and she won't have any other ideas, right?
