As soon as she returned to the Condensing Frost Palace, Jian Xiaozhu saw Qiu Lan running in a hurry and said to her, "Yunzhu, why have you been out for so long." While you're away, something happened to the Frost Palace! The Empress Dowager sent someone to search the Frost Palace and took the pearl away. ”

Jian Xiaozhu sighed and asked, "How is the concubine Niangniang?" ”

Hearing Jian Xiaozhu ask about Bai Ningshuang, Qiulan remembered something and said, "The noble concubine has been very anxious when she saw that the pearl was taken away, and she is still asking where you went. ”

"I see."

After that, Jian Xiaozhu returned to his house first. I saw that the house was in a mess, and everything was turned upside down. Even the two ancient ginseng sticks she left behind, as well as the red brocade bag containing the warm jade, were turned out. Fortunately, these things were not suspicious items, so they were casually thrown on the ground or bed by the searchees and were not taken away.

After inspecting his house, Jian Xiaozhu went to Bai Ningshuang's dormitory. I saw Bai Ningshuang leaning on the bed, looking at the closed window with a worried expression. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Bai Ningshuang looked at Jian Xiaozhu, struggled to prop up her body, and said, "Yunzhu, where have you been?" Do you know that Fang Cai Pearl was suddenly taken away by the Empress Dowager's people. ”

Jian Xiaozhu closed the door, stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, I know." The slave maid was also called over by the Queen Mother. ”

Bai Ningshuang was worried: "The Empress Dowager didn't do anything to you, did she?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu shook his head, and just wanted to tell Bai Ningshuang about everything that happened in the Tourmaline Palace, but he heard the guards announcing outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

I saw Murong You walk in angrily, Bai Ningshuang just wanted to get out of bed and salute him, but Murong You walked in front of her in a few arrow steps, and suddenly reached out and slapped her. Bai Ningshuang was caught off guard and instantly froze in place. Murong You shouted angrily: "Concubine, you really disappointed me too much. ”

On the side, Jian Xiaozhu looked at everything that happened in front of him, probably understanding that Murong You believed Pearl's lies. Sure enough, Murong You gritted his teeth at Bai Ningshuang and said, "Concubine, I didn't expect that in order to frame the queen and take her place, you would even be willing to harm our children. ”

However, Bai Ningshuang, who didn't know all this, just looked at Murong You in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on. She stumbled down from the bed and knelt down in front of Murong You: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor meant. ”

Bai Ningshuang's face was pale, and her body was still shaking leisurely. However, the extremely angry Murong You did not let her get up, but pointed at Bai Ningshuang with trembling fingers: "Don't quibble. The pearl said that it was you who instructed her to help you buy Youli incense from outside the palace and put it on the box given to you by the queen, framing the queen for framing you for having a miscarriage. ”

Hearing what Murong You meant, Bai Ningshuang raised her head in shock: "How could it be...... Why did she frame the concubine, the concubine didn't, the emperor, you have to believe the concubine. ”

Bai Ningshuang knelt forward and grabbed the corner of Murong You's clothes, but Murong You pushed her away fiercely: "I didn't want to believe the words of the palace maid Pearl at first, until I saw that in order to prove that she was not lying, she slammed into the wall after swearing a poisonous oath, and died of blood splattered on the spot. ”

Jian Xiaozhu listened to Murong You's words, and only felt extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, after she left the Tourmaline Palace, Pearl actually committed suicide in such a desperate way to make Murong You believe her words. This made Jian Xiaozhu secretly say bad, and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, you can't conclude that the matter was done by the noble concubine just based on the words of Pearl alone. ”

"Indeed." Murong You sneered, pointed at Jian Xiaozhu and said to Bai Ningshuang: "Guifei, it was this palace maid of yours who told the Empress Dowager that there was no smell of fragrant fragrance in the box that the Empress gave you at the beginning. According to what she said, the Empress Dowager found evidence that you and Pearl conspired to frame the Empress in the Frost Palace, and cleared the Queen's suspicions. ”

Murong You's words made Bai Ningshuang look at Jian Xiaozhu in disbelief, and Jian Xiaozhu looked at Bai Ningshuang's eyes that gradually became desperate and collapsed, and thought to herself, Bai Ningshuang must have misunderstood her at this moment. Jian Xiaozhu just wanted to help Bai Ningshuang explain to prove his loyalty, but Bai Ningshuang suddenly fainted to the ground at this time due to physical exhaustion and exhaustion.

"Concubine Niangniang!" Seeing this, Jian Xiaozhu stepped forward worriedly, wanting to help Bai Ningshuang up. But Murong You picked up Bai Ningshuang first, put it on the bed, and helped her fold the quilt.

Seeing Murong You's actions, Jian Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Murong You still cared about Bai Ningshuang.

So Jian Xiaozhu stepped forward and knelt in front of Murong You: "Your Majesty, since you said that Pearl swore a poisonous oath, then the slave maid can also swear a poisonous oath to you here, and this matter has nothing to do with the concubine Niangniang." The slave and maid have been with the concubine almost all these days, so the slave and maid can see that the concubine Niangniang hopes to give birth to this child smoothly, and she will never frame the queen at the cost of the pregnancy in her belly. ”

Murong You looked at her coldly: "Why should I believe your words? ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "Then the emperor, you should always believe in the concubine." You and she have known each other since childhood, after so many years, don't you know what kind of person she is in your heart? ”

Speaking of which, Jian Xiaozhu himself was a little weak-hearted. After all, Bai Ningshuang's was indeed not the kind of kind person that Murong You had thought of before.

Fortunately, Murong You's thoughts of the past with Bai Ningshuang showed a look of emotion in his eyes, so Jian Xiaozhu said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid also asks you to investigate this matter thoroughly and return the mother's innocence." Slaves and maids can also make a poisonous oath here, if the thing is done by the mother, then the slave and maid will be thundered by the sky, and they will not die well. ”

Murong Youjian Xiaozhu swore like this, so he nodded: "I will continue to investigate this matter." ”

After saying that, Murong You glanced at Bai Ningshuang lying on the bed with complicated eyes, and left the Frost Condensation Palace.

After Murong You left, Jian Xiaozhu's whole person finally collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. She crawled to the side of Bai Ningshuang's bed, wanting to see how Bai Ningshuang was doing. It's just that when she looked at Bai Ningshuang's bed, she found that Bai Ningshuang's eyes didn't know when to open, and they were looking at her coldly.

Jian Xiaozhu was frightened: "Niangniang, are you awake?" ”

Bai Ningshuang said lightly: "I've been awake, so I heard everything you said to the emperor just now." ”

Jian Xiaozhu didn't know what to say, and Bai Ningshuang asked, "Yunzhu, tell me the truth, are you from the queen's side?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Bai Ningshuang in surprise, and Bai Ningshuang mistakenly thought that Jian Xiaozhu had acquiesced in her words, so she said, "From the very beginning, when you came to the palace and helped me heal the poison I had, I was suspicious of you. And just now, the emperor said, you went to the Tourmaline Palace to help the queen clear her suspicions, and I am even more sure that you may be the person next to the queen. ”
