After Lu Qianying said this, Fu Xiaojiu was about to laugh angrily at her.

If it weren't for the emperor and the queen, Fu Xiaojiu would immediately go back.

The queen's expression was uncertain after hearing Lu Qianying's "testimony", and her eyes first stayed on her face for a moment, and then her eyes fell on Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu was unexpectedly calm, and said slowly: "The concubine did go to the toilet with Nianzhen. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Xiaojiu looked at Lu Qianying again and asked, "I want to ask, how to go to the toilet so that it is not sneaky?" I also asked my wife to show me the correct way to go to the latrine. ”

"You're a strong word!"

Lu Qianying was angered by Fu Xiaojiu's words, she no longer paid attention to Fu Xiaojiu, but said to the queen with an innocent face: "Niangniang, the concubine is really not lying!" The concubine saw that the two of them were indeed sneaking around in the hut, and those needles might have been hidden on them! ”

The queen's face still didn't show any waves, she looked at Fu Xiaojiu again and said: "Fu Langzhong, this palace doesn't want to suspect you and Nianzhen about anything, this palace gives you a chance to refute her." ”

Fu Xiaojiu couldn't figure out whether the queen was helping her or watching the excitement, so she replied calmly: "The concubine and Nianzhen went to the toilet just to relieve their hands, and there is nothing to refute." Everything must be evidenced, the concubine doesn't understand, why has the sewing kit been searched, but Miss Lu has to doubt me and Nianzhen? Could it be that she is in the same league as the person who hid the sewing kit, and that she is doing this to divert everyone's attention? ”

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking indifferently, Lu Qianying immediately ignored the courtesy, righteousness and shame, and pointed at her angrily and shouted: "You demon woman is really a bloody squirting person!" How could I be in her group? You are the wicked and sue first! ”

After yelling at Fu Xiaojiu, Lu Qianying immediately explained to the queen, "Queen Mother, please check clearly!" This matter has nothing to do with the concubine body, the concubine body is just a reasonable suspicion, and the concubine body does not have any unsightly thoughts! ”

The queen looked at her coldly and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you just shut up." ”

"I ......"

Lu Qianying saw that the queen didn't give her face, and she felt very aggrieved.

At this time, the queen said to Fu Xiaojiu in an extraordinarily gentle tone: "Fu Langzhong, this palace believes that this matter has nothing to do with you, so you can sit down with peace of mind." ”

"Yes!"

Fu Xiaojiu saw that the queen was a sensible person, and after answering with relief, he sat down steadily.

The emperor didn't speak just now, and now he spoke: "In my opinion, since I have found a sewing kit that can hide needles, it is better to compare the needles in it with the needles in the bird's nest poria cake, and the truth will be revealed." ”

A ray of hope instantly appeared in the queen's eyes, and she immediately said, "What Your Majesty said is right. Come on, the embroidery girls of the Xuanshang Clothing Bureau are experts in needlework, so let them inspect the needlework is the most suitable. ”

Tan Shiting couldn't be calmer this time, she was anxious to defend herself: "Your Majesty, the queen, although the concubine carries a sewing kit with her, the concubine is really wronged!" The concubine has no grievances or hatred with Nianzhen, why do you want to harm her? Is it also a sin for a concubine to carry a sewing kit with her because of her preference? ”

The queen said lightly: "Of course, it is not a sin for you to carry a sewing kit with you. Your Majesty and this palace are not aimed at you either. No matter who the sewing kit appears on, this palace will let people check it, and this palace will not wronged a person, nor will it let go of a murderer. ”

Tan Shiting was speechless by the queen's words, she couldn't say any more, otherwise she would have the feeling of "there are no silver three hundred taels here".

Tan Shiting regretted it, why couldn't she hold back her jealousy, why did she want to do such a stupid thing at the palace banquet?

However, it was too late for her to regret it, and the embroidery girls of the Shangyi Bureau arrived soon.

Each of the three embroiderers checked the needles in Tan Shiting's sewing bag and the broken needles in the bird's nest Poria cake, and then the three of them reported to the emperor in unison: "These needles are all needles of the same material and the same thickness, and they are all used for Suzhou embroidery." ”

The queen hurriedly asked, "Then these needles should all belong to one person, right?" ”

An embroidery lady replied without thinking: "Yes, these needles are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this kind of needle craftsmanship is fine, the tip of the needle is the sharpest, one will cost one or two silver, the slave is most familiar with this needle, and it will never be mistaken!" ”

After the embroidery was finished, everyone's faces changed.

Tan Shiting was even more unsteady on her feet, her eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground.

Liu Yan helped her in time, and after she stood up a little, Liu Yan let go of her like a plague god, and deliberately moved a few steps to the side.

The queen pointed at her angrily and shouted: "Tan Shiting, what crime should you be guilty of!" At the palace banquet, you, a poisonous woman, actually hid the broken needle in the pastry and deliberately gave it to others to eat, is it a wolf's heart and dog lungs in your stomach? ”

The queen was really annoyed, because Tan Shiting's actions reminded her of the various battles she had experienced before becoming the queen.

It's just that the harem concubines are fighting back and forth, Tan Shiting actually poisoned a stranger, it's crazy!

The emperor also knew that there were many rights and wrongs where there were many women, but he didn't expect Tan Shiting to be so bold, but in the end, this was still a fight between women, so he endured his anger and waited for the queen to decide.

As a result, without waiting for the queen to reprimand Tan Shiting again, Liu Yan hurriedly drew a clear line with Tan Shiting.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Tan Shiting, this evil woman was spoiled by the family before she left the cabinet, and after she married Weichen, she was also arrogant and domineering in Weichen's house, and Weichen's mother had to look at her face every day. Wechen had long wanted to divorce her, but her family was huge, and Wechen was afraid of angering her, so he had always tolerated her! Today, Weichen divorced this wicked woman in front of His Majesty and Niangniang, as well as all the adults and classmates, and I ask you to give a witness! ”

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he fell to his knees, aggrieved and helpless, which made people very sympathetic.

Tan Shiting's evil deeds are irrefutable, she was still afraid of death, but now she was thrown into the well by Liu Yan, she suddenly burst into a wave of anger and shouted at Liu Yan: "You ungrateful villain!" Who funded your studies in the first place, and who funded your travel expenses to help you enter Beijing to take the exam? Are you going to abandon your wretched wife now that you have a reputation? ”

Liu Yan lay on the ground and did not move, ignoring Tan Shiting's questioning.

"Enough!"

The queen slammed the table.

Tan Shiting immediately shuddered, clutching the placket of her clothes and not daring to say anything more.

The queen's apricot eyes widened angrily, and she said sharply: "Tan Shiting, now that everyone has stolen goods, what else do you have to say?" Don't you plead guilty? ”

Tan Shiting knelt down softly, but said stiffly: "The concubine is wronged!" Those needles have nothing to do with the concubine's body! They are all slandering the concubines, please check it out! ”

Where did the queen have the strength to listen to her continue to talk nonsense, and immediately said: "Someone will take this wicked woman to Dali Temple for trial!" ”

Immediately, a royal guard came over and dragged Tan Shiting away.

Tan Shiting kept crying and shouting "wronged", Liu Yan was still kneeling on the ground, he didn't dare to raise his head at all, for fear that he would be affected.

"Liu Yan, get up."

The emperor finally spoke.

Liu Yan dared to raise his head slowly, but he didn't dare to stand up quickly.

The emperor continued: "Since you have just said that you will divorce the wicked woman, I will testify to you that from now on, you will have nothing to do with the wicked woman. I remember that you were sent to the local magistrate county, so you might as well find a daughter from a good family in the local area! ”

Liu Yan couldn't believe that the emperor really made the decision for him, and kowtowed fiercely, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Queen Mother! ”

The palace banquet is nearing the end, and now that Tan Shiting is making such a fuss, everyone is not very interested.

However, the queen did not want the palace banquet to end in such an annoying thing, so she said: "The wicked woman has been punished, and this palace cannot let the victim suffer grievances but have no comfort." Nianzhen—"

Nianzhen heard the queen calling her, so she knelt down.

The queen smiled kindly at her, "You don't have to kneel if you have a body." Nianzhen, you were really wronged just now, Bengong felt terrified when he looked at those needles. Fortunately, there is nothing big about you. And this palace sees that you are a calm character who does not fight or grab, even if you are bullied, you don't cry and make trouble, there are not many women like you. ”

After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at the emperor, and the emperor patted her hand and said, "Feel free to do whatever you want." ”

The queen lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Nian Zhen, Wan Zhang, listen to the reward!" The queen looked at Nianzhen and Wan Zhang with a majestic expression.

Nian Zhen and Wan Zhang were busy bowing their heads respectfully and waiting for the reward.

The queen said leisurely: "Nianzhen was injured and frightened, the palace is very sorry, and specially rewarded Nianzhen with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, ten brocades, a carriage, four maids, and four family members, and hereby comforted and comforted." ”

The husband and wife said in unison: "Thank you for the gift of Queen Mother!" ”

No one expected that Nianzhen would be a blessing in disguise!

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin are sincerely happy for Nianzhen and Wan Zhang, Fu Xiaojiu was worried that their days would be bitter just by relying on Wan Zhang's money, but now that so many rewards continue, Nianzhen and Wan Zhang immediately became rich households, even if they go to a place far away from the mountains and rivers, they don't have to worry that their days will be bitter.

After Nian Zhen and Wan Zhang thanked the queen, everyone also felt that the queen's arrangement was very appropriate, and the serious and low atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, the emperor said with a smile: "This palace banquet is held for all the new scholars, and we can't spoil the fun because of some pickled things." I heard that the queen specially invited a very good juggling team for this Qionglin banquet, let's open our eyes. ”

As soon as the emperor gave an order, the banquet went on normally again.

However, Lu Qianying was very angry about such a result, she felt that the queen was too partial, why didn't she listen to her?

Zhou Bingshuang was so frightened by this incident that she retracted her claws, and she didn't dare to use any bad intentions against Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen for the time being.

Fu Xiaojiu looked back at Nianzhen, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Wan Lin leaned closer to Fu Xiaojiu and asked, "Lady, why didn't you tell the truth about going to the toilet just now?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu said generously: "I don't want to worry about Mrs. Fang anymore, I can understand her feelings about losing her relatives, so I have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

Wan Lin vigilantly reminded Fu Xiaojiu: "The lady is really generous, but I'm afraid that Mrs. Fang doesn't think like this." ”
