In the face of the repeated requests of the noble concubine Liu Xin, Yuan Qi waved his hand impatiently and shouted:

"No need, Concubine Shu is free to take care of the people in her palace, and she won't love the concubine's hands."

Yuan Qi privately wanted to protect Su Yingxue, after all, Su Yingxue hadn't woken up yet, although the concubine Liu Xin swore an oath, but she hadn't investigated it clearly, she couldn't get rid of the suspicion, right?

Although the concubine Liu Xin was unwilling, under Yuan Qi's inquiring eyes, she had to buckle her head and leave, but when she saw Yunyou come in with the guard Lu Xin, the corners of the concubine Liu Xin's mouth were slightly upturned, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

After Yunyou entered, he closed the door of the imperial study, Yuan Qi glanced at Lu Xin coldly, and asked coldly:

"What about the results of the survey? Who has been to the cold palace? Who has been in contact with Su Yingxue? ”

Lu Xin hurriedly knelt down and gave Yuan Qi a big salute and said:

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Shuniang fell out of favor before, so she rarely had contact with people, and even the subordinates in the palace never went to the cold palace. In addition to the palace people who sprinkled and swept the palace, there were palace maids who went to deliver food. In addition, Lord Yun took the imperial doctor to see the injuries of Concubine Shuniang......"

Lu Xin said this, Yuan Qi's sword-like eyes turned around Yunyou, and Yunyou hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty! The lowly duty has done nothing, the lowly duty has no grievances with the mother, and it is impossible to harm the mother, please ask the emperor to investigate. ”

Yunyou's frightened beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and Yuan Qi suddenly asked:

"Did the Imperial Doctor show her the injury himself, or was it you?"

Yun You hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, it's like this, the lowly doctor knew that Niangniang was injured for the emperor, so after the lowly imperial physician Hu Yueming saw the injury for the emperor, he took it upon himself to ask him to show the injury to the emperor, and he never left the humble post throughout the whole process, knowing that Hu Yueming and Imperial Doctor Hu said that Niangniang's life was not in danger, so the lowly doctor left with him." Worried about the emperor's safety, he did not leave the emperor's side again. ”

Yuan Qi didn't know why, he was annoyed, and smashed a pen in his hand at Yunyou and scolded angrily:

"You are becoming more and more incapable of doing things, you know that Concubine Shuniang is injured for me, why can't you let her stay in the "Splendid Pavilion"? And let her live in a cold palace, a place that is not conducive to recovery from injuries? ”

Yun You touched his aching forehead, looked aggrieved, and thought, didn't you beat Niangniang into the cold palace? But he didn't dare to stiffen his mouth, so he could only admit his mistake and say:

"Yes, it's all the fault of the lowly position. However, at that time, the lowly job wanted to arrange a safe place for the concubine to come, but Concubine Zhen stopped the lowly position. ”

"Concubine Zhen?"

A different color flashed in Yuan Qi's deep eyes, and he spit out two words.

"Yes, at that time, Concubine Zhen said that before the emperor was assassinated, she sent Concubine Niangniang into the cold palace, and Concubine Niangniang ran out without permission, which should have been added to the crime, but she blocked a sword for the emperor, and it was also considered a demerit. As for whether to let the concubine out of the cold palace, it should be up to the emperor to have the final say, and we should not make decisions for the emperor, so there is nothing to say about the humble position. ”

Yunyou told the truth.

Yuan Qi nodded and said coldly: "The reason is very good. ”

Having said that, a hint of disgust flashed in Yuan Qi's heart.

"Lu Xin, did the palace maid who sprinkled the sweep and the little palace maid who delivered the food have a good torture?"

Yuan Qi asked after a moment.

Lu Xin continued:

"Back to the emperor, the two of them were beaten and their flesh was opened, but they both said that they didn't harm the concubine, but they learned from the two of them that there was another person who had also been to the cold palace and was one after the other with the concubine."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Yuan Qi's eyes became even more gloomy, and he said coldly. Although the tone is flat, it contains murderous intent.

"Concubine Zhen."

Lu Xin said cautiously. Looking at Yuan Qi's cloudy face, he was a little frightened, because everyone knew that Mu Lingdi was the emperor's favorite Yuan Qi.

"It's Concubine Zhen again. It seems that Concubine Zhen has done a lot of things for me! ”

Yuan Qi's eyes were filled with a pair of eyes that made people unable to see through the expression.

"Could it be that the emperor suspects Concubine Zhen?"

Yun You stepped forward and asked tentatively, Yuan Qi glanced at Yun You, and said unwillingly:

"Who said that? How could I doubt my concubine? I'll ask her about it. ”

Yuan Qi's feelings for Mu Lingdi are true, because he firmly believes that Mu Lingdi loves him, so even if all the evidence points to Mu Lingdie, he wants to verify it.

After Yuan Qi finished speaking, he waved his hand to Lu Xin, instructed him to continue the investigation, and then got up and walked outside the imperial study. Yun You also hurriedly followed.

And in Mu Lingdie's Xuancui Palace, Mu Lingdi listened to the report of her personal maid Yan'er, the corners of her mouth turned slightly, and she said coldly:

"This concubine Liu Xin is really a waste, she can't even kill a half-dead Su Yingxue, this palace should really take matters into its own hands and finish her off early."

"What should the lady do now? Do you need a slave to kill Su Yingxue who only has one breath left? ”

The maidservant Yan'er hurriedly asked.

Su Yingxue hurriedly shook her head and said:

"If Bengong didn't guess wrong, Guifei Liu Xin's waste, should now find a way to splash this basin of dirty water on Bengong's body!"

When Yan'er heard this, she asked anxiously:

"Then why don't you hurry up and think of a countermeasure? What if the emperor believes it? ”

Mu Lingdi unhurriedly straightened his nails and said:

"What can I do, naturally I will help her."

"Help her? How can it help? Yan'er asked.

Mu Lingdi hooked her fingers, Yan'er stepped forward, and just said a few words, followed by a voice:

The screams of the little eunuch Liu Wen, "The emperor has arrived", rang out.

Mu Lingdi nodded, and Yan'er walked out with understanding.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, the concubines visited the emperor, the concubines just wanted to find the emperor, and the emperor came, does it mean that the emperor and the concubines have a heart-to-heart?"

Mu Lingdi smiled again and again, and asked like a little bird.

Because he was suspicious of Mu Lingdi, Yuan Qi's tone was a little cold, and he asked:

"Is there something wrong with Concubine Ai?"

Mu Lingdi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said:

"The concubine is planning to ask the emperor for guilt, it's all the concubine's fault, the concubine is sorry for the concubine."

"Oh? Tell me what the concubine has done? ”

Mu Lingdi took the initiative to admit that this was something Yuan Qi didn't expect, so he asked.

"The concubine is wrong, the concubine knows that Sister Shufei is injured, and insists that Sister Shufei live in the cold palace, it is all the concubine's fault, if it weren't for the concubine's suggestion that Yunyou place Sister Shufei in the cold palace, Sister Shufei would not have had an accident, and the concubine felt guilty. Although my sister once pushed her concubine into the water, causing the concubine and the emperor's heir to slip, the concubine also hated her sister. But the concubine never thought of letting her sister die, not to mention that her sister was injured for the emperor, the emperor is the concubine's favorite person, for the emperor, the concubine no longer hates her sister, so ...... So ......"

Mu Lingdi said with a sincere look, as if she was generous, although she apologized, but people couldn't hear what was wrong with her? Yuan Qi was a little stunned, these Yunyou had already told him, he didn't want this answer.

Then he asked coldly:

"So what?"

"So the concubine wants to beg the emperor to spare everyone in the general's mansion, and my sister doesn't know if she can wake up now, but the concubine hopes that her sister can wake up soon, identify the murderer, and don't let the murderer go unpunished. Otherwise, the whole harem will be panicked, because this thief is really vicious, do you say yes, the emperor? . ”

Mu Lingdie's drama really made Yuan Qi blind, if it was really Mu Lingdie, she couldn't care about the life and death of the people in the general's mansion, looking at Mu Lingdie's unflickering eyes, Yuan Qi felt a little despicable, how could his beloved concubine be so kind that she could be the one who harmed Su Yingxue? Yuan Qi would rather believe that it was someone else.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qi put his hands together and asked:

"Is this true? Are you really going to let me release the people in the General's Mansion? You really don't hate Concubine Shu anymore? She is the woman who harmed our emperor, and even I am not so generous. ”

Yuan Qi asked tentatively.

Mu Lingdi snuggled up to Yuan Qi like an obedient kitten, and said softly:

"The safety of the emperor is more important than anything else, the concubines are relieved, the concubines and the emperor are still young, and they will have their own children, but the emperor is unique in the hearts of the concubines, and the concubines only need the emperor."

The gentle voice, the soul-stirring eyes, and the weak and boneless body like a snake made the last trace of reason in Yuan Qi's heart occupied by lust, and also made Yuan Qi unable to control himself.

He shouted in a dull voice:

"Yunyou went to keep an eye on Su Yingxue, and if she woke up, she would come and report immediately."

Finally, the room was quiet, and with the delicate body of Mu Lingdi on the bed, Yuan Qi couldn't hold back any longer, and only the heavy gasps of the man and the shy laughter of the collapsed woman were left in the room.

But no one knows
