Empress Chu looked at Aunt Bao in surprise, "What did you hear wrong?" This palace asked you to return Nanzhu, how did you report it? ”

"Niangniang...... Aunt Bao's lips turned white and trembled vigorously, "The slave maid pretended to be smart, thinking that the princess of Chu sent Nanzhu for the king of Chu, so she said one more sentence, saying that the princess of Chu asked Niangniang to say a few good words for the king of Chu." ”

Empress Chu was furious, "You actually guessed the degree? How daring! ”

Queen Chu suddenly settled down, Yubao has followed her for many years, and her temperament has always been calm, and it is impossible for her to say what she guesses in front of the emperor.

She immediately thought of Chu Mingcui.

Chu Mingcui had proposed to go to Concubine Xian before, but she thought that there was no need to deal with Concubine Xian for the time being, Concubine Xian was the niece of the Queen Mother, and if she offended Concubine Xian, things would not be easy to do.

Emperor Ming Yuan's face was ugly all of a sudden, how could Yubao dare to do this? Afraid that it was the queen's order, his eyes swept over Queen Chu's face coldly.

Empress Chu had to stand up and make a statement, slapped Aunt Bao's face, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, if you guess the degree yourself, dare to tell the emperor?" How many heads do you have? ”

Aunt Bao knelt on the ground, and she didn't dare to cover her face, but just said vigorously: "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin!" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan ordered expressionlessly: "Come on, drag the jade treasure down, and take the thirty boards seriously." ”

Queen Chu was distressed, but she couldn't speak for her, so she just said angrily: "It's cheap for you, don't you thank you?" ”

Aunt Bao kowtowed, her body was already half soft, and her face was like earth: "Thank you for the punishment." ”

Aunt Bao was dragged out, and after a while, there was a crackling sound of canes and muffled voices outside.

Queen Chu looked calm, but her heart was extremely anxious, and she scolded Chu Mingcui for being reckless.

Concubine Xian is looking at the lively mentality at this time, I thought that this daughter-in-law went to slap the queen and humiliated her, but I didn't expect that there were so many bends in the middle, she had to see it carefully.

Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Yuan Qingling, his eyes were complicated.

This matter can't be further investigated, even if Yuan Qingling ordered Mama Xi to send Nanzhu, he can only stop first.

I'm afraid that it will be traced out in case.

In the end, Mama Xi is an old man on the Emperor's side, and she can't make any mistakes, so as not to provoke the Emperor Taishang to get angry and hurt herself

After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "Now that the matter is clear, the punishment that should be punished is punished, you all go back." ”

The queen knew that the emperor had misunderstood her, thinking that she had deliberately framed the king of Chu, but it was useless to defend herself at the moment, and she had to ask Chu Mingcui carefully, so she hurriedly retreated.

Concubine Xian glanced at Yuan Qingling and withdrew. She also knew it in her heart, but the emperor was obviously unwilling to pick on the ugliness of whitewashing the peace, and the royal family wanted to save face.

Mama Xi also wanted to retreat, but Yuan Qingling said: "Mama, there is a sentence, I want to ask you." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan warned: "Princess Chu, the matter ends here. ”

Yuan Qingling changed his calmness and said suddenly: "Father, the stakes are very high, and I have to ask this clearly." ”

Mama Xi looked at Yuan Qingling and said lightly, "What does the princess want to say?" I want to say that this Nanzhu didn't you tell the old slave to send it to Zhongshen Palace? Since the princess doesn't admit it, then it can be regarded as an old slave who makes an assertion, and the old slave is guilty. ”

Yuan Qingling looked at her and said, "Whether you are good at making claims, we all know in our hearts, but what I want to ask is why you changed the Nine Turns Pill of the Emperor Taishang and then blamed Xiao Luozi." ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Princess Chu, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Yuan Qingling looked directly at Emperor Ming Yuan, "Father, no matter how bold the daughter-in-law is, she doesn't dare to make up random factions and frame the old man next to the emperor." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned for a while, but she didn't dare to be untargeted.

She turned her head to stare at Mama Xi, "The Emperor must treat you well, why do you want to kill him?" ”

"Shut up!" Mama Xi stared at her coldly, "The old slave has never had the slightest intention of murdering the Emperor. ”

"Do you dare to say that you didn't change the medicine?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Mama Xi was silent.

Emperor Ming Yuan wanted to slap the hand on the table, but slowly put it down, he looked at Mama Xi quietly, and his heart slowly sank.

Mama Xi could have retorted, but she didn't.

She's acquiescing.

Emperor Ming Yuan was shocked and angry, how could it be Xi Mama?

"Princess Chu, do you have any evidence?" Father-in-law Mu Ru was frightened and couldn't help asking.

Yuan Qingling said lightly: "The evidence is in the Qiankun Palace, in front of the Emperor Taishang, Xi Mama, are you willing to admit it until you are in front of the Emperor?" You hurt him once anyway, and you must not care if he will be angry and sick because of you, let's go to the Qiankun Hall to confront him. ”

Xi Mama raised her head almost quickly, the light under her eyes dimmed inch by inch, and the tight skin and flesh on her face slowly relaxed, drooping the corners of her eyes, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be a few years older.

"You don't have to go to the Qiankun Palace, the old slave admits it!" She slowly knelt down.

The hall was deadly silent, except for the angry breathing of Emperor Ming Yuan, there was no other sound.

Halfway, Emperor Ming Yuan's voice sounded slowly, hollow and pale, "Why?" ”

Mama Xi showed a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying, "The old slave never had the heart to murder the emperor, the medicine was changed by the old slave, but the old slave didn't know that it was poison, and after he knew, it was too late." ”

"So you killed Xiao Luozi and asked him to take the blame for you!" Yuan Qingling said coldly.

"I didn't kill it." Hi Mama said.

"Who told you to change your dressing?" Emperor Ming Yuan only felt a chill behind him, and in the palace, there were not many people who could instruct Xi Mama.

Xi Mama kowtowed, "The emperor will execute the old slave, the old slave won't say it." ”

"...... you," Emperor Ming Yuan was extremely disappointed, "The matter has come to this, and you don't even want to say anything about the people behind it?" It can be seen that the Emperor Taishang trusted you in vain. ”

Xi Mama trembled her lips, remorse and sadness, "The emperor will give the old slave a death, for the sake of the old slave in the past, he also helped the emperor in the past, don't torture the old slave to extract a confession, once the old slave's mouth is bitten to death, he will never let go, and he will not let go of his mouth, and he will not let the old slave suffer from skin and flesh before he dies." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan really couldn't bear this heart. He is by no means a soft-hearted person, but only for Mama Xi and Grandpa Chang, he is no longer treated as ordinary slaves, and when he was still the prince, the two of them helped him a lot.

Yuan Qingling knew she wouldn't speak.

In Mama Xi's heart, the Emperor Taishang has a very important position.

She was even willing to give her life to the emperor.

She will do this for the sake of a more important person than the Emperor, and she would rather die than protect this person.

Yuan Qingling asked about Nanzhu at this time, "So, who asked you to send Nanzhu to the queen?" ”

Mama Xi was silent for a moment, but she still wanted to say something.

Emperor Ming Yuan was furious, "Can't you even say this?" ”

Two tears slipped out of Mama Xi's eyes, she took a breath on the ground, and choked up: "Sending Nanzhu to the queen mother is the meaning of Princess Qi, she hates Princess Chu for taking away the king of Chu in the first place, so she wants to take revenge on her." ”

"Is it the meaning of Princess Qi to change the dressing?" Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were filled with rage.

Mama Xi shook her head, "It's not her, she doesn't have the ability to instruct the old slave to deal with the emperor." ”

"She has the ability to instruct you to harm Princess Chu?" Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly.
