The palace maid Liu Lu also knelt on the ground with Concubine Duan's plop, and said bitterly: "Please let the emperor and the queen mother know!" Concubine Duanniang is indeed innocent! The poisoning of the queen has nothing to do with Concubine Duan! Please also ask the emperor and the queen mother not to listen to the nonsense of that palace maid! ”

"Nonsense?!"

Helan Yan said angrily: "That palace maid has nothing to do with Concubine Duan, she has no grudges in the past and no hatred in recent days, there are so many harem concubines present, why didn't she identify Concubine Shu, Concubine Dan and others, but instead identified you!" You dare to say that you are innocent! You've forgotten how you went to great lengths to frame and slander Concubine Ying in the first place! Now you dare to get the attention of the emperor's heir! Poison and harm the queen who is pregnant herself! Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan, the mourning family didn't expect your mind to be so vicious! The heart is like a femme fatale! The mourning family still defended you like this before! You have done such a heinous thing! ”

Concubine Duan cried: "The Queen Mother is wronged! The concubine is wronged! The concubine just came to visit the queen mother with good intentions today, and never wanted to harm the queen mother. ”

Helan Yan asked, "You dare to say that you have never been jealous that the queen is pregnant with an heir?!" Never coveted the queen?! ”

"Me!" Concubine Duan was asked by the Queen Mother He Lanyan, and she was dumbfounded for a while.

The palace maid Liu Lu was dedicated to protecting the lord, and interjected to explain: "Concubine Duan has always respected the queen's mother, how can she have the heart to harm the queen's mother!" Please also ask the Queen Mother to be aware and not to wronged Concubine Duan! Let the relatives hurt, and the enemies are happy! ”

"The mourning family talks to Concubine Duan, where is your share of being a slave!"

Helan Yan commanded sharply: "Someone! Slap this girl who doesn't understand the rules twenty! ”

Concubine Duan saw that Liu Lu, the palace maid who spoke for herself, was innocently punished, so she knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly: "The Queen Mother is angry, please don't punish Liu Lu, it is the concubine who did not discipline Liu Lu well, and the concubine is willing to be punished instead of Liu Lu!" Please let the Queen Mother let go of Liulu. ”

Helan Yan smiled: "Can you get rid of it?!" You are jealous that the queen successfully conceived the imperial heir, and has coveted the queen's position for a long time, you hold a grudge, and in the name of coming to Luanfeng Palace to visit the queen, you are waiting for the opportunity to poison the queen and the imperial heir! How can the mourning family spare you! Someone will pass on the order of the mourning family, and put this poisonous woman and concubine in prison, waiting for the fate! ”

"Yes!" The guards on both sides pulled up the Duan Concubine who was kneeling on the ground and begging and was about to go out.

"Queen Mother! The concubine is wronged! The concubine is wronged! Concubine Duan knelt on the ground and refused to leave, and the guards on both sides insisted on dragging her out.

"Wait!" Helian Yingche called the guards. The guards escorted Concubine Duan and stopped when they heard the sound.

Concubine Duan broke free from the guards on both sides, ran to Helian Yingche's approach, crying and begging: "The emperor saves the concubine!" The concubine was really wronged! The poison in the queen's mother really has nothing to do with the concubines, and the emperor is invited to be the master of the concubines! ”

Concubine Duan cried in front of Helian Yingche, grabbed Helian Yingche's clothes, and refused to let go.

The Empress Dowager Helan Yan sharply ordered the guards who were stunned and didn't know how to be a good one, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't drag this poisonous woman out!" Imprisoned! ”

Since Concubine Duan entered the palace, because she was favored by the Queen Mother He Lanyan, she often had no one in her eyes, and her words and deeds were pampered. In order to compete for favor and conceive the emperor's heir, Concubine Duan secretly gave the emperor Helian Ying a golden wind and jade dew; Later, she used her own inadvertent miscarriage to frame Concubine Yingyun Wei'er. All of these piles are from the hands of Concubine Duan. Concubine Duan's personality is really not flattering.

But this time, Queen Helan Diemeng was poisoned, and it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Even if Helian Yingche didn't like Concubine Duan's personality every day, Helian Yingche had to stand up and say a fair word for Concubine Duan.

Helian Yingche said to the Empress Dowager He Lanyan, who was angry: "The queen mother is angry! The stakes are high, and it needs to be considered in the long term. I couldn't listen to the words of the little palace maid, so I thought that Concubine Duan had done something to poison the queen and the flesh and bones in the queen's abdomen. The fact that the queen was poisoned has yet to be verified. ”

The Queen Mother He Lanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Helian Yingche, and said angrily: "What else is there to check!" She has a bad record in the harem, and she wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and her ambition to replace the queen has been for a long time. She can do such a poisonous thing now, and the mourning family doesn't feel strange at all! If she was a little temperament on weekdays, she would have been fine, but today she dared to move the emperor and grandson of the mourning family, she really ate the courage of the ambitious leopard! I don't know how thick the sky is! How can the mourning family tolerate her! ”

Helan Yan forced Helian Yingche to ask: "Now, the witness has come forward to identify, does the emperor still want to protect Concubine Duan?" ”

Helian Yingche responded: "The queen mother just said that the person who poisoned the queen mother hurt the queen mother's grandson, but the queen is not my wife, and the heir conceived by the queen is not my flesh and blood!" I also want to get justice for them! But even so, I can't wronged Concubine Duan for no reason because of my eagerness to verify it, and let someone take the blame casually. I have said that the queen who dares to touch me and my heir, no matter who it is, will be punished, and I will definitely investigate it thoroughly to the end, dig three feet into the ground and find out the person who really poisoned the queen, and establish the law! ”

Helian Yingche turned his eyes and looked down at Concubine Duan, who was kneeling beside him, who had already cried into tears, and said in a deep voice: "Now the evidence is insufficient, I can't just listen to one side of the word and conclude that Concubine Duan is guilty, but Concubine Duan did come to Luanfeng Palace today to see the queen, and there are suspicious things to be verified, so pass on my will, first imprison Concubine Duan in Cuixia Pavilion, before the matter is clear, Concubine Duan and the palace maid eunuch of Cuixia Pavilion are not allowed to take a step out of Cuixia Pavilion." After I find out, I will give an explanation to the queen mother and the queen. ”

Helian Yingche said. But seeing that the eunuchs on both sides sent Concubine Duan and the palace maid Liu Lu back to Cuixia Pavilion to be grounded.

Helan Yan said unhappily: "Today's incident was discovered early by the palace maid Essi of Luanfeng Palace, so she found the imperial doctor in time to pick up the two lives of the queen and the queen in the abdomen. If you find it later, the consequences will be unimaginable! Luanfeng Palace's personal palace maid Ai Si Protector who serves the queen has merit, and the emperor should have clear rewards and punishments to serve everyone. ”

Helian Ying heard this, and couldn't turn his gaze to the palace maid Ace who was kneeling in the Luanfeng Palace.

From the time Helian Yingche heard that the queen was poisoned and unconscious, until now, Helian Yingche always faintly felt that there was something wrong with this Luanfeng Palace, until Helian Yingche saw the palace maid Ace who had been serving Helan Diemeng since the queen was still the crown princess, and then he suddenly felt that Ace's overly calm expression seemed to be showing something to Helian Yingche.

Helian Yingche said in a condensed voice: "I have clear rewards and punishments, and I will definitely reward my merits!" However, everything must wait until the real culprit is captured and the stolen goods are all obtained, and then I can reward the meritorious people in the Luanfeng Palace. ”

Queen Mother He Lanyan nodded slightly.

Helian Yingche ordered the guards on both sides: "From now on, the palace will strengthen inspections, especially those who enter and leave Luanfeng Palace, if there are suspicious people, they can be arrested and interrogated immediately." “

"Yes!" The Imperial Guard replied.

The Queen Mother He Lanyan said: "Today's matter, before it is investigated, the news that the queen was poisoned must not be spread, and if there is a violation, it will be punished!" ”

"Yes!" The chief eunuch Xiao Tuanzi replied.
