"If you don't believe me, I'll call the witnesses!"

Yue'er pushed open the door and shouted downstairs: "Binliang, you come up!" ”

Someone below answered, and staggered upstairs.

Zhao Zhen watched Bin Liang walk in, and said indignantly: "What can you prove by calling a little eunuch?" ”

Yue'er pulled Bin Liang and pulled the collar of his shirt downward, with two deep nail marks on it, which were still clearly recognizable even after two days.

"You don't believe that she wants to kill me, it was this inner prisoner who stopped at the door the night before yesterday, you can see for yourself, how heavy she is!"

"Zongzhengfu said, she, she may be insane, but you shouldn't force her to death!"

"I said I didn't force it, I just want to know what happened, is someone going to kill me, and I will kowtow to her?"

Zhao Zhen was suppressed by Yue'er's momentum, and Nene was speechless.

Yue'er said again: "If it's you and someone wants to kill you, can you pretend that you don't know anything, close the door and continue to sleep?" You are a scholar, you don't understand that someone is trying to kill me, I didn't die, it is you who should apologize, why do you question me like a scoundrel! ”

These words were like a heavy hammer, Zhao Zhen's chest hurt, and his eyes were stunned and tears.

"No, no, my mother is not such a person!"

Seeing that Zhaozhen had calmed down, Yue'er sighed.

"Your Royal Highness King Xin, don't think that I am difficult to accept when I talk seriously, you are no longer a child, I believe that your mother wants you to be a person who understands things and distinguishes between right and wrong, instead of being a fool who refers to a deer as a horse and listens to slander, think about it, I forced your mother to death, what about her two maids, is it also me who forced her to die, can I force your mother to kill two maids in a row?"

Zhao Zhen sat down in a dejected manner, and Yue'er's words pierced his heart, and he couldn't refute it.

At this time, Zhaoju spoke: "Okay, you all calm down, anyway, this matter has been explained by Zongzheng Mansion, Your Royal Highness King Xin, it is useless for you to blame Concubine Duan, people can't be resurrected after death, it's better to mourn and change." ”

Yue'er asked Bin Liang to go out, and when the door of the Plum Blossom Hall was closed, she glared at Zhao Zhen and said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Xin, can you have a little brain, can't you see that Zongzheng Mansion is fooling you, and they give you a reason to prevaricate and you believe it?" Have you ever thought about whether your mother was forced to deal with me, whether she had a conspiracy behind her, and whether she was being used? ”

Zhaozhen is like an initiation.

"You, you're saying there's a conspiracy behind all this?"

"Of course, they say that Concubine Baili is insane, but has she been delirious in the past two months, has she been talking nonsense in front of you, she doesn't say a word bad about me behind her back, why did she suddenly come to my Anhua Palace to kill me!"

"Then, then I'll go to Zongzheng Mansion, and Prince Dongping must check it out!"

Zhao Zhen wanted to get up, Yue'er pointed at his nose and said: "Have you ever thought about it, the emperor was attacked in Chongwen Pavilion, your mother had an accident, is there any connection between the two, why can't the murderer be caught, and now His Majesty is poisoned and can't prime minister the government, at this moment, who has time to help you investigate the case?" ”

Zhaoju looked at Yue'er, his eyes were full of surprise, he knew that Yue'er was eloquent, but he didn't know that she knew her so deeply.

"No, I don't believe it's that complicated!"

Yue'er listened carefully for a moment, made sure that there was no one outside, and then whispered: "Don't be naïve, tell you, the truth is far more complicated than you think, I, I'm more worried about the emperor's safety now!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhaoju and Zhaozhen were taken aback, they didn't think of this problem at all.

"You, you mean that my father was placed under house arrest by the Empress?"

"Have you seen your father?"

Zhao Zhen and Zhao Ju shook their heads together.

"Not only can't you see it, but the concubines in the palace can't see it, even the ministers, don't you think there's something strange here, you must know that Your Majesty is poisoned, not plague!"

Zhao Zhen's body couldn't help shaking, and he was extremely confused.

"Then how do we go to save our father?"

"You two plus me, it's useless, now the only way we have is to wait for the opportunity!"

"Are we not going to do anything?"

"Yes, maybe you're doing it wrong!"

Zhao Zhen suddenly stepped forward, knelt down towards Yue'er, and knocked his head three times in a row.

"Thank you sister for your advice, Zhen'er was so stupid just now, I almost wronged you and made a big mistake!"

Yue'er wiped the corners of her eyes, Zhao Zhen still had childishness, she really couldn't tell him now that the dead Baili Concubine was the envoy of Qihua Palace, not his mother.

"By the way, why have you two been together lately?"

Yue'er couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Zhen was a little embarrassed.

"Before, I just wanted to protect my sister, because every time I saw Brother Sui Wang enter the palace, I was worried that he would bully you, but today, it seems to be reversed!"

Zhao Ju turned his face away, today Zhao Zhen said that he wanted to trouble Concubine Duan, so he couldn't help but come with him.

"Let's go, staying here for a long time will arouse suspicion."

"Yes, sister, I'm really stupid, I will still come to see you often in the future, the mother is gone, only you can guide me."

Yue'er's nose was a little sour, she hugged Zhao Zhen and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You grow up quickly, so that my sister can rely on it, okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, I must mature and live up to my sister's expectations."

Yue'er saw that Zhao Zhen and Zhao Ju were leaving, and hurriedly said, "You can't go like this!" ”

"How do you get there?"

Zhao Zhen was a little puzzled.

"If you go like this, someone will guess that we have resolved our suspicions!"

"What do you mean?"

"Brother Zhen'er, you have to learn to act, you scold me loudly now, and then slam the door and leave, His Royal Highness King Sui, when Zhen'er is gone, you will go out to chase again, okay?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen nodded, he strode to the door, and deliberately shouted: "I don't listen, I don't listen, I won't forgive you!" He walked out and slammed the door and walked away.

Zhaoju didn't look at Yue'er, he got up and walked to the door, but paused.

"Your Highness—"

Yue'er screamed.

Zhaoju seemed to suddenly come to his senses and reached for the door.

"Your Highness—"

Yue'er screamed again.

Zhaoju shook his head in pain.

"What do you have to say?"

"No, no."

Yue'er's voice was a little choked, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

Zhaoju nodded, forcefully opened the door and walked out, Yue'er burst into tears, she didn't see it, and Zhaoju's eyes were moist.

Time flies, five days pass in the blink of an eye.

In the past five days, the people in the palace were panicked, and all the concubines were terrified, what happened to the emperor, how dangerous it was, if the emperor died, the good days of these concubines would come to an end.

According to the rules of the Dawei Palace, those concubines who have not given birth may become burial companions, and the queen and concubines with heirs will be placed on the title for arrangement.

At the end of the evening, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned eight concubines to the Ciming Hall for deliberations.

Yue'er was a little nervous, she knew that there might be a difference tonight.

Entering the Ciming Palace, a palace maid led Yue'er up to Ciming Tower, Yue'er also came last time, and knew that this was the Queen Mother's guest palace.

Now there are two rows of chairs in the Ciming Building, a total of eight seats, and there are two seats on the small platform facing south, which is the position of the Queen Mother and the Empress.

The queen and the other seven concubines had just arrived, and the concubine Yuan, whom Yue'er had never seen before, also came to the Ciming Hall with the support of a female official.

The concubine's complexion was a little pale, as if she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, her melon seed face was very thoughtful, and her facial features were exquisite, but her lips were slightly thinner.

Yue'er smelled the strong medicinal fragrance on Concubine Yuan's body, and she was a little puzzled, and said secretly: "Is this Concubine Yuan really sick, why is the smell of medicine on her body so strong?" "Her father used to be the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, and there were many patients in the family who came to seek medical treatment, but none of them had such a strong smell of medicine.

The queen's face today was very cold, she didn't say a word after she sat down on the stage, and the other concubines stepped forward to salute, she only nodded, and everyone didn't dare to ask her about the emperor's situation.

After a while, Hanyan helped the Queen Mother walk in, and everyone got up and saluted together.
