When all the courtiers heard Ye Teng's words, they were all taken aback, the assassination of the empress dowager was such a big crime, Ye Teng was able to say so lightly, couldn't this black gauze hat be worn for too long, and he wanted to take it off earlier?

Just when everyone was talking, Ye Teng opened the suicide note and read it.

"The sinner Liu, knowing that she had made a big mistake, did not dare to live in the world, left this envelope, committed a crime with a book, the sinner misbehaved, and was abandoned by the prime minister, and then heard that the prime minister met with the queen mother, and was jealous, and then bought the murderer, and smeared it with poison on a sharp weapon, harming the life of the queen mother, knowing that the sin was serious, and committed suicide by taking poison, I hope the lord will cherish it. ”

Although the logic of this letter is very unreasonable, it can be seen that a woman is struggling when life and death are at stake, so it is also a little more credible.

Murong Jue didn't have time to take care of these, thinking that since the antidote had been found and the real culprit had already been punished, he didn't pursue it, and only said to Ye Teng: "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, it is also because of your lax discipline, so go back." ”

Ye Teng originally thought that since he had personally admitted this big mistake, he would personally admit this disease, and he would be able to have a good reputation when the time came, but Murong Jue was angry, at this time, Rao is king Lao Tzu came, and he couldn't save Ye Teng, no matter what tricks he played, he only told him to go back first.

Not long after Ye Teng returned home by himself, Murong Jue did not stay with the courtiers for a long time, only Tuoba Hu Gaoqixuan Chen Zhong and others were left to talk about today's events in detail.

Chen Zhong didn't know the relationship between Murong Jue and the Ye family, so he naturally couldn't interject, and only listened from the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that today's matter is indeed Mrs. Liu's good work, and there is no need for Lord Ye to deceive him in such matters. ”

Tuoba Hu saw Ye Teng's parents today, and he also thought that he was going to play some tricks, but now, he doesn't think so, sacrificing a woman, just to play a trick, it's really not worth it.

Gao Qixuan shook his head.

"Ye Teng is treacherous and cunning, maybe there are indeed other conspiracies. ”

Murong Jue's heart was very confused, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was strange, even if he left the three of them to discuss together, he couldn't say why.

"Perhaps, because he appeared at the wrong time?"

When everyone was puzzled, Chen Zhong opened his mouth leisurely, and everyone's eyes shifted to him.

"You think something is wrong, it's because the time Ye Teng chose was too coincidental, he went to see the Queen Mother not long ago, the Queen Mother was assassinated, and not long after the assassination, he came with his wife's body and suicide note, everything was too coincidental. ”

Chen Zhong is right, everyone really thinks so.

The timing of Ye Teng's appearance was too coincidental.

Before the assassination of the Queen Mother, Murong Chu could have found a balance by himself in the matter of the harem of the previous dynasty, but it was precisely because of the assassination of the Queen Mother that he lost his ability to balance and could only delegate power to Concubine Ye.

And not long after the assassination of the Queen Mother, the antidote was found, at this time, the power of the harem was in the hands of the Ye family, and the suspicion was cleared.

Because, the person who benefited the most from this transaction was her.

"What do you think, what about Imperial Concubine Ye?"

Murong resolutely raised this question coldly, which made everyone inevitably have some doubts, and the first one was Chen Zhong.

It was the imperial concubine Niangniang who made up the good thing with the ripples, and the emperor's meaning now is that the imperial concubine Niangniang colluded with the courtiers, this Chen Zhong did not believe it, if the imperial concubine really wanted to gain power, it would not be so obvious.

The second thing that feels impossible is Gao Qixuan, he knows Wanying's temperament, she will not reconcile with her enemies for a little power.

Although Tuoba Hu has not received favors from others as much as Chen Zhong, and is not as good as Gao Qixuan, he still trusts the imperial concubine in his heart, and only sighs and says: "If the emperor thinks so, it is good to think about whether the imperial concubine is necessary to be like this." ”

Of course, Murong Jue hoped that everything about this matter was not planned by Su Yang, if this was indeed the case, then this woman would be a little too terrifying, for the sake of this overwhelming power, she could trap a powerless woman into danger.

But he didn't distrust Su Yang very much, but he suddenly became so suspicious that he wanted to ask.

"That's the end of today's matter, as I said, we must not show the slightest rumor, otherwise, we will be decided. ”

With that, Murong Jue turned around and left the court.

On the other side, Su Yang was drinking tea alone in the harem, when he heard the spy report that Ye Teng had confessed and sent his wife's body, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"This Ye Teng is very neat, I just asked him to bring me the news earlier, he is good, Byte sent his wife to Xitian. ”

As she spoke, she blew away the rising mist and took a sip.

Niangniang was merciful and left a way for Ye Teng to survive, so he naturally didn't dare to be ambiguous. ”

Hearing Ruo'er's words, Su Yang shook his head slightly.

"It's not that the palace is merciful, it's that God has the virtue of a good life, and Ye Teng is not afraid of the palace, but he is afraid that the emperor will be angry with the Ye family and the Liu family, in order to take care of the overall situation, this is why his hands and feet are so fast. ”

Where did Su Yang want to save Ye Teng? It's just because there is no other way to do this, if the Liu family is ruthless, and he is killed with resentment, and if he doesn't hand over the antidote, he can still take the Queen Mother away, in order not to make Murong Chu sad, she can only come up with this way.

"In the final analysis, the main thing is that the emperor will not be sad at the moment, who cares about his Ye family?"

"Aifei originally thought so, and then I blamed Aifei for being in the court. ”

Just as Su Yang said this, Murong Jue's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and she hurriedly got up from the chaise longue and stepped forward to bow to Murong Jue Yingying.

"The concubine is late, and the emperor forgives the sin. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Murong Jue smiled and helped Su Yang up, he was still thinking about why Su Yang let Ye Teng live, but now that she heard her mention it herself, she naturally felt a lot more comfortable, pinched her soft little hand, and said in a low voice: "I thought that you were going to take care of your mother's family." ”

"The mother family? The concubines do not have a mother family, Rao does, and it is not the prime minister's mansion. ”

Su Yang was not afraid to make it clear with Murong Duan.

"The Liu family is vicious and mean, Ye Teng only cares about interests, Ye Qinxin is so pungent and spicy, the concubines have been wronged since they were children, and they are even worse off when they were in the countryside, how can they think that such a tiger and wolf den is their mother's house! Let them go, it's just for the emperor!"

Su Yang said, and threw himself into Murong Jue's arms, making a look of grievance.

"The concubines are so well-intentioned, the emperor is still suspicious of the concubines. ”
