Hearing that the people on the pearl side had all the stolen goods, Jian Xiaozhu thought that the matter could finally come to an end, and thought in her heart, it seemed that Su Moxue's suspicion was about to be cleared.

However, Murong You didn't know the truth of the matter, so when he heard the guard's words, he wondered, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The Empress Dowager stepped forward and said to Murong You, "It was the Mourning family who asked them to search the Condensing Frost Palace. After hearing what happened, the mourning family didn't believe that a mellow-hearted child like the queen would do such a hurtful thing, so the mourning family called the personal palace maid next to the concubine and wanted to ask clearly. ”

After that, the Empress Dowager looked at Jian Xiaozhu: "The palace maid Zhang Yunzhu is a good child, it was she who said to the mourning family that the person who murdered the concubine was not the queen." The mourning family sent someone to search the Condensing Frost Palace, wanting to see if there was anything strange. ”

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she looked at the guards kneeling on the ground. Asked, "Did anyone bring it?" ”

The guard replied, "Brought it." ”

I saw that Pearl was brought into the Tourmaline Palace by two guards, and when she saw Murong You and the Empress Dowager, Pearl knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor spares his life, not a slave, not a slave and a maid who wants to harm the concubine." ”

Murong You looked at the pearl, and there was anger in his eyes: "I heard that the evidence was found in you, if it wasn't you, who could it be?" ”

Pearl shook her head: "It's not a slave, it's really not a slave." The slave didn't know why the bottle appeared here in the slave maid, but if the slave and maid were given a hundred guts, the slave and the maid would not dare to murder the concubine. ”

Looking at a pearl that was vigorously defending, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that this person was really stiff-mouthed when he was dying. But the Empress Dowager stepped forward, looked at the pearl and said, "If it's not you, then who else can it be?" ”

Pearl cried and replied: "It's the queen, it's the queen's mother......"

The Empress Dowager shouted: "Chunliu, palm mouth!" ”

So Chunliu stepped forward and slapped Pearl twice. Jian Xiaozhu saw that as Chunliu's palm fell, two distinct slap prints also appeared on Pearl's face.

The Empress Dowager walked in front of Pearl and looked at her: "Palace maid Pearl, after all, the thing was found from you, so the person who murdered the concubine can only be you." If the mourning family guessed correctly, you still have a family outside the palace. If you continue to lie, then not only will you be sentenced to death for murdering the children of the royal family, but even your family will lose their heads with you. ”

Chopping is a cruel punishment that makes life worse than death. And when she heard the Empress Dowager mention her family, Pearl's face turned even pale, and she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The Empress Dowager, it's not a slave, it's really not a slave." ”

Empress Dowager: "If it's not you, who else would it be?" ”

Pearl suddenly stopped begging for mercy, but froze in place, as if she had thought for a long time before she made up her mind and said, "It's not a slave, it's a concubine." ”

"What did you say?" When Murong You heard Pearl's words, she stepped forward and looked at her and said, "Palace maid Pearl, what do you mean by this?" ”

Pearl lowered her head and whispered, "It was the concubine who asked the slave to do this." Some time ago, the concubine Niangniang heard the words from the Empress Dowager's side, even though she gave birth to the emperor's first child, she couldn't establish a prince because she was not the eldest son. Therefore, the concubine was angry for a while, so she gave birth to such a plan, at the cost of her own pregnancy, to frame the queen mother and frame her for a miscarriage, so that the queen mother's status was not guaranteed. ”

"Impossible!" Jian Xiaozhu and Murong You said this sentence almost at the same time. The Empress Dowager glanced at Jian Xiaozhu and did not make a sound. And Murong You stepped forward, and in anger, he kicked the pearl to the ground: "What nonsense! Come on, drag this palace maid down for me, and beat me to death with a stick! ”

But the Empress Dowager stopped the guards who came forward: "Stop for me." ”

Then, the Empress Dowager stepped forward and said to Murong You: "Your Majesty, listen to the words of this palace maid first, and then make a decision." ”

After that, the Empress Dowager looked at the pearl that fell to the ground: "If you want to frame the queen, there are many ways." Why should the concubine harm her own children? ”

Pearl said in a trembling voice: "The noble concubine said that only a crime like murdering the heirs of the royal family can bring the queen down. Therefore, the concubine can only endure the pain and attack herself, after all, the child will have it in the future. And the opportunity to replace the status of the queen is rare. ”

"You're lying!" Murong You gritted his teeth and looked at the pearl, and on the side, the Empress Dowager said: "Even if the queen falls, it is impossible for the noble concubine, as a singer, to become the queen of our Dongyuan, it is simply delusional." ”

Pearl continued: "The concubine said that the emperor only favors her, and the queen has fallen, and that position is naturally her ......"

"You slut!" Murong You was furious, and suddenly stepped forward and pulled out the sword on the guard's waist, wanting to kill Ruyi on the spot. And the Empress Dowager hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. This palace maid just told the truth, and the mourning family thought that it was better to interrogate the concubine as soon as possible and ask the truth. ”

Murong You shook his head: "I don't believe it, I don't believe that the concubine would do such a thing." Moreover, the concubine had just had a miscarriage and was unwell, so she could not be interrogated. ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Murong You, revealing an unfathomable expression, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the mourning family knows that you don't want to believe that the concubine would do such a thing. But the facts are right in front of you, even the person next to the pillow will have a side that you don't know. What's more, this palace maid named Yunzhu also said that the box that the queen originally brought did not have a fragrant fragrance in it. ”

Jian Xiaozhu stepped forward and explained: "Indeed, the slave maid said that the queen mother may be innocent, but the concubine is also innocent, and she spews blood from her mouth!" ”

When the Empress Dowager heard Jian Xiaozhu's words, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and then she spoke gently: "Don't worry, the mourning family will strictly interrogate this palace maid, and they will not let innocent people be slandered." Palace maid Yunzhu, you should go back to the Condensing Frost Palace, after all, the concubine needs someone to take care of her now. ”

Finally able to leave this place of right and wrong, Jian Xiaozhu replied: "Yes." ”

However, when leaving, Jian Xiaozhu still turned back to Murong You and said, "Your Majesty, please believe that it can't be the concubine." She values that child very much and will not do anything to hurt her own child. ”

But Murong You didn't reply to Jian Xiaozhu's words.

Walking out of the Tourmaline Palace, Jian Xiaozhu saw that the sky outside had become overcast. The cold wind blew in her face, and she felt only the biting cold permeate her skin.

Something is wrong, everything is very wrong.

On the way back to the Condensing Frost Palace, Jian Xiaozhu thought about everything that had happened in the Tourmaline Palace just now, and only felt that all of them had developed so naturally. First, the Empress Dowager asked her to express her doubts in her heart, and when Murong You arrived, she told Murong You about Su Moxue's innocence. Immediately after, the pearl was brought to Murong You, pointing the finger at Bai Ningshuang.

Jian Xiaozhu felt that everything was like a set chain plan, and she was just a chess piece in one of the links.

So, is she being used completely?

Jian Xiaozhu looked at the gray sky with some apprehension, and prayed: "I hope all this is just my conjecture......"
