"Still trying to quibble?! You are in disheveled clothes in this deserted palace, could it be that there is another explanation?! Wei Manhui snorted coldly, and the bead hairpin on her head also trembled, "Search this place for the palace clearly!" This palace wants to see who the adulterer is! ”

The guards then searched the palace, but found nothing, Wei Manhui's face was already a little annoyed, glaring at Zhou Luying, but unable to speak.

At this time, Hu Ling stepped forward and said: "Zhou Xiurong is really dissatisfied with some people in this abandoned palace, in order to prove Niangniang's innocence, it is better to let the slave maid give Niangniang a physical examination, so as to prove that Niangniang has not done anything wrong." ”

Zhou Luying's expression trembled slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed her collar, but Wei Manhui grabbed Zhou Luying's action, and was even more sure, turned her head to Tao Zhiyuan and said: "Tao Zhaorong, the matter is very important, you must find out, and please make a testimony, lest others say that the palace is not impartial." Hu Ling, you can give Zhou Xiurong a physical examination. ”

Tao Zhiyuan only understood at this time what Wei Manhui's real purpose was, she watched Zhou Luying being dragged into the room, Zhou Luying was still talking silently, Tao Zhiyuan could see clearly, Zhou Luying was saying: "Chu Zixiao, save him." "But at this moment, how else can Tao Zhiyuan save them?!

In the time of waiting, time passed unusually slowly, Tao Zhiyuan was afraid to hear the result, it seemed that there was a long century before Hu Ling came out, "Queen Mother, Zhou Xiurong was indeed ...... just now"

Hu Ling couldn't say the last few words, but how could everyone still not understand it.

"Okay! Zhou Xiurong actually did such a thing! As soon as Wei Manhui beckoned, Hu Ling asked Zhou Luying to be dragged out, all the beads on the bun were removed, and then Zhou Luying knelt down.

"Say, who is the adulterer?!" Wei Manhui asked sharply.

Zhou Luying was silent, and closed her eyes, completely ignoring Wei Manhui's question.

Wei Manhui saw that Zhou Luying was so rude, angry in her heart, and her steps were obviously a little unsteady, Hu Ling hurriedly came over to support her.

"Hard-mouthed, isn't it?! Come on, slap the mouth of this palace! Wei Manhui said angrily, his face turning pale.

"Slow!" Tao Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped, "Queen Mother, you have to take care of your body." ”

Hu Ling glanced at Tao Zhiyuan, and also persuaded: "Tao Zhaorong is right, Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she has to think about the fetus, besides, this matter is also handled by Tao Zhaorong, Niangniang don't bother, the slave thinks that Tao Zhaorong will definitely handle it impartially." ”

This sentence pushed the matter to Tao Zhiyuan, she was about to open her mouth to refuse, but Wei Manhui had already spoken: "This palace also feels that it has been a little powerless recently, Tao Zhaorong, although you are not the head of the nine concubines, but you are from a famous family and know books and etiquette, so I will leave this matter to you to deal with." ”

How to choose Tao Zhiyuan? Could it be that she personally gave Zhou Luying to death?!

"Tao Zhaorong, are you unwilling?" Wei Manhui glanced at her.

"I'm afraid the concubine is not competent." Tao Zhiyuan bowed her head and said.

"In the palace, only the emperor's favor will not live long, you should accumulate your own power, so that you will stand tall in the harem." Wei Manhui said in a low voice, "This is an opportunity given to you by this palace, Zhou Luying has already been convicted, even if you don't deal with this matter, she will not be able to escape the death penalty!" ”

Wei Manhui just wants her, kill Zhou Luying with her own hands, live in the harem, where are the clean hands, Wei Manhui wants her to know, even if she gets the emperor's favor, it doesn't mean that she is victorious.

Tao Zhiyuan slowly clenched her fists, and she couldn't imagine that when she returned to the palace a year later, she was still in a passive position.

"Thank you for the support of Queen Mother, and the concubines are grateful." Tao Zhiyuan had tears in her heart, and she remembered that Wei Manhui had once again forced her to the cliff.

Wei Manhui nodded with satisfaction, "Then this matter will be handled by Tao Zhaorong, as for the adulterer, except for the eunuch in the palace, everything else must be carefully verified!" Wei Manhui stared at Tao Zhiyuan and hooked the corners of her mouth, "Especially the Imperial Doctor!" ”

Zhou Luying raised her head with a sigh, her eyes were full of despair, her mouth trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

Tao Zhiying was quite unbearable in the corners of her eyes, but she still controlled herself, at this time, Zhou Luying was not thinking about herself, but Chu Zixiao, and if she didn't find him here, it meant that there was still a chance to save Chu Zixiao.

Lost her soul and returned to Ruolan Palace, she tried all the methods, but it still didn't work, Wei Manhui was able to go there because she already knew about Zhou Luying and Chu Zixiao, how could she get through for Chu Zixiao.

What the hell is going to do?

"Mother? What's wrong with you? Seeing her appearance, Qian Xue hurriedly ran up and asked with concern.

Tao Zhiyuan raised her eyes and glanced at Qian Xue, unable to say a thousand words, but shook her head slightly.

Qian Xue was also anxious when she saw this, so she reported what Tao Zhiyuan had ordered just now, "Niangniang just asked the slave maid to find Zhou Xiurong and Imperial Doctor Chu, but the slave maid went to several places but didn't find it. ”

"It's okay, Zhou Xiurong has been put in prison." Tao Zhiyuan said expressionlessly.

Qianxue was so frightened that she covered her mouth, thinking that Tao Zhiyuan asked her to find Zhou Luying and Chu Zixiao, she guessed what was going on, her expression was gloomy, and then she said: "The slave is just afraid of what happens, so she also went to Xiyun Pavilion to ask Rong Xiuyi for help." ”

Tao Zhiyuan stared at Qianxue, "How can I help?" ”

"The slave maid said that if someone asks, he must let the servants of Xiyun Pavilion say that Imperial Doctor Chu went to Xiyun Pavilion to take a pulse of peace for Rong Xiuyi at that time."

For a while, Tao Zhiyuan had mixed feelings, and soon there were tears in her eyes, she hugged Qianxue tightly, "Fortunately, you are clever, otherwise how can I be worthy of Sister Zhou......"

"Niangniang......" Qian Xue was speechless for a while, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and she didn't know what to react to at the moment. This harem, I'm afraid it will set off a bloody storm again, she prayed to the Buddha not to let her master have any accidents.

＊＊

Zhou Luying's obscene harem soon spread throughout the harem, except for the eunuchs, the guards, imperial doctors, and ministers in the palace that day were all interrogated, but unfortunately they interrogated everyone, and repeatedly checked the matter, but they were never sure who was the adulterer. Wei Manhui personally hinted that Chu Zixiao and Zhou Luying were very close on weekdays, but Rong'er tried her best to protect Chu Zixiao, and all the minions of Xiyun Pavilion had the same confession, Chu Zixiao went to Xiyun Pavilion that day to check the pulse.

Wei Manhui still didn't give up, rumors spread in the harem about this, the dignity of the royal family was gone, and when he had lunch one day, he heard Su Yan mention it again, Yun Yi was so angry that he threw the dishes and chopsticks on the ground, and the servants in the room were all kneeling on the ground in an instant.

"Death! Don't make a storm all over the city! Yun Yi said this, making this matter seem to have an end.
