I saw that in the corridor, under the yellow Luo cover umbrella carved with the Nine Dragons, the emperor and queen came slowly.

Emperor Chongxi's palace is now the year of no confusion, he stands tall, wears a crown on his head, and the cuffs and corners of his robe are decorated with complex dragon patterns.

Standing beside Gong Xuan was a jade-like woman, her long black hair was tied up, and there were nineteen phoenix hairpins in her hair, and the bright yellow phoenix robe was worn on her body to reveal a bit of gentle majesty. She is Gong Yu's biological mother, Su Shaowan of the Yunchuan Su family.

"Long live the emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen." Humane.

"Flat." Gong Xuan said, he stopped his gaze on Gong Yu, "I haven't seen Yuan Xi for seven years, and I have really grown up." ”

Gong Yu smiled slightly: "When the sons grow up, they will be able to better honor their fathers." ”

Gong Xuan looked at Gong Yu quietly for a long time, and an imperceptible sigh flashed in his eyes.

"Yuanxi, come to the queen mother, let the queen mother take a good look." Queen Su said, when she saw Gong Yu, her eyes were slightly red. Since the death of Taigong Heng, Gong Yu has been her only child, and she has not seen this child for seven years.

Gong Yu stepped forward and shook Empress Su's hand, and asked casually, "Why did the father and mother come from the Chengqian Palace?" ”

"This palace heard from Concubine Rong that something happened to this pool, so I came over to take a look." Queen Su Road. When she mentioned "Concubine Rong", her face obviously lightened a little.

Concubine Rong even calculated the time when she fell into the water. It's just a pity, after a hundred secrets, Concubine Rong overestimated Wan Zihan's ability after all. Gong Yu sighed in his heart.

"The concubine hasn't seen Princess Yuanxi for seven years, but she didn't want to, but she actually met Princess Yuanxi here." I only heard Concubine Rong say softly. She wore a purple palace skirt, and her wide sleeves were carved with delicate clusters of blooming peonies, which reflected the red hairpin between her black hair, showing an extremely magnificent beauty. She held her forehead and sighed: "I don't know when the evil spirit in this palace has been so heavy, Princess Yuanxi first entered the palace, and she saw a dead palace maid with her own eyes. ”

This gentle sentence linked the ominous reputation of evil qi to Princess Yuanxi.

When Gong Yu heard this, he only continued to smile and said: "It's a pity that this palace can't be unpredictable, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this pool because of curiosity about Miss Wan's words." ”

Gong Yu's implication was that she was lured to the pool by Wan Zihan, which invisibly dismissed Concubine Rong's words. It's not evil, it's man-made.

"It's just that this palace is quite puzzled why this Miss Wan fell into the pool by herself. I wonder if Miss Choi knows why? Gong Yu changed his words and suddenly asked. She asked this on purpose.

"Back to the princess, the courtier thought that it should be when the snow melts, the poolside is too slippery, and Sister Wan didn't stand firm for a while, that's why..." Cui Xiyao lowered her head, clenched her sleeves tightly with both hands, and said in a panic.

Cui Xiyao's words are somewhat interesting. Gong Yu smiled, Concubine Rong summoned Cui Xiyao into the palace, nothing more than to get involved with the Runan Cui family, but now Cui Xiyao's answer not only shows the neutrality of the Runan Cui family, but also makes the cooperation between Rong Guifei and the Runan Cui family impossible.

After all, Concubine Rong doesn't need disobedient chess pieces in her hands.

Wan Zihan's black hair clinged to her face like seaweed, and she was about to say something, but when she met Rong Guifei's cold eyes, a deep fear suddenly appeared on her face.

"Xia Jinzhong, tell me what's going on." Gong Xuan said, his expression couldn't distinguish any joy or anger.

"Back to the emperor, the slave first heard Miss Wan talking about Princess Yuanxi, Princess Yuanxi went to the pool, and then Miss Wan fell into the water, and the slave listened to the princess's order to go into the water to save Miss Wan, and saw the dead palace maid underwater." Xia Jinzhong said respectfully.

"What are you talking about?"

Xia Jinzhong bowed his waist and did not speak. Wan Zihan talked about Gong Yu's words, but Xia Jinzhong never dared to say it.

"The daughter of the Wan family talked about the princess's slap for thirty, and Concubine Rong taught that there was no way to punish her for three months." Gong Xuan glanced at Xia Jinzhong, and only said lightly.

"It's the concubine who is immoral and doesn't teach Zihan well." Concubine Rong leaned over and said, her tone was extremely calm, as if this was already within her expectations, and the narrow shadow reflected on her face, blurring her expression.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have been wronged!" Wan Zihan shouted that as the daughter of the family, she had never been punished like this, and for a while, she panicked.

"Fifty palms. Drag it off. ”

Gong Yu stood in place with a calm face.

Concubine Rong and Wan's concubines were punished, these punishments are not heavy, but they are enough to show that Princess Yuanxi is the most noble and favored princess.

- Her father is standing up for her.

"Xia Jinzhong, can you identify the identity of this palace maid?" Gong Xuan asked.

Xia Jinzhong showed a look of embarrassment.

At this time, Concubine Rong smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine sees that there is a flower-shaped birthmark on the right wrist of this palace maid, and the concubine knows this palace maid, she was originally a person in the palace of Concubine Ning's sister, and then somehow, she was sent to the Huanyi Bureau by Concubine Ning's sister." ”

Concubine Ning is the niece of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is interested in Concubine Ning as the queen for the continuation of the family's glory, but she has no choice but to insist on making Su Shaowan the queen in the current saint, so she will give up. Concubine Ning does not fight for the favor of the saint, does not seek the grace of the saint, and has a tranquil temperament, but the grace of the saint is not declining, and she has given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for the current saint - the eighth emperor palace Cheng and the ninth princess Gong Chun.

Concubine Ning was also involved, what was hidden by the death of this little palace maid? Gong Yu's wide sleeve is printed with a new fold.

"Concubine Xuanning, let Concubine Ning recognize this palace maid." Gong Xuandao.

"Your Majesty, you might as well send someone to search in this snow, if this palace maid is killed, maybe this person who killed the palace maid will carelessly leave some clues in the snow for a while." Concubine Rong smiled.

Gong Xuan's head was bowed, and Xia Jinzhong quickly led a group of eunuchs in Tsing Yi to search in the snow.

After a while, I only heard Xia Jinzhong say: "Your Majesty, I haven't found anything." ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, her face did not change, and her lips were slightly curved, as if she didn't care about these.

Gong Yu lowered her eyes, she gently stroked the Jiufeng hairpin in her sleeve, and groaned for a moment.

- She seems to have guessed something wrong.

At first, she thought that Concubine Rong's purpose was to frame her and her mother, but now it seems that it is not just that. framing her and her queen mother may just be a handy move by Concubine Rong. This is not the most important purpose of Concubine Rong.

Gong Yu initially thought that Concubine Rong's plan was that Wan Zihan would push her into the pool, and then leave quickly, and the Runan Cui clan behind Cui Xiyao was neutral, so Cui Xiyao would not say much. At this time, the father and the queen mother happened to come here, saw her in the water, and the palace people found her mother's nine phoenix hairpins by the pool, and the father would attribute the death of the palace maid to her mother and her.

Moreover, at that time, it was difficult for Gong Yu to say that she was pushed into the pool by Wan Zihan, because it was very likely that she jumped into the pool by herself and wanted to destroy some evidence of killing the palace maid for her mother, such as looking for Jiufengchai.

Besides, how dare Wan Zihan and the daughter of the family push Princess Yuanxi into the water? If Xia Jinzhong speaks for her at this time, he will only be biased, and even, even worse, Rong Guifei can also use this to say that Xia Jinzhong has been bought by the queen and is already the queen's person.

It is a trivial matter for the queen to kill a palace maid, but what is taboo is that the queen needs to go to great lengths to kill a palace maid inexplicably, especially the major events involved behind this palace maid are enough for the queen to kill people herself. This will inevitably cause suspicion and investigation by the father.

But now it seems that even if she didn't find Jiufeng Hai as she wished, Concubine Rong didn't care.

So, what exactly does Concubine Rong really want?

At this time, a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old sat on the step and came slowly. He was dressed in a blue robe, and his wide sleeves swayed, revealing a brocade trim embroidered with silver lines. He tied a piece of Hetian warm jade around his waist, the luster of the jade reflected his delicate face, and a pair of dark eyes were crystal clear.

"Enlighten the father, the mother concubine is sick, and it is not suitable to face the saint, so let the sons and daughters come."

He is the Eight Emperors Gong Cheng.
