Aunt Shu Wen cried: "In the afternoon, Concubine De came to find the slave maid, saying that she found the two dead snakes buried in the small garden in front of Ning Xue Hall, if she was found by the guards tomorrow, she would be so close to the small garden, she would definitely be suspected by everyone." %&*"; So she begged me to help her dig up the dead snake and burn it at night. ”

"She asked you to help, and you helped?" The Queen Mother asked angrily, "Why don't you tell the mourning family!" ”

"The slave maid also wanted to tell you, but you believe in Niangniang so much, and a few days ago you swore that this matter was definitely not done by Niangniang, how should the slave and maid speak? The slave maid thought, if Concubine De is suspected, then the Queen Mother will not be able to live on your face. If this matter is really done by Concubine De, then the slave should help her! ”

The Queen Mother said bitterly: "Why are you so stupid! Is the mourning family the kind of person who disregards the interests of the royal family for the sake of his own face? ”

"The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should not hide the queen mother! I hope the Queen Mother will be angry! Aunt Shuwen still burst into tears.

At night, it is as dark as thick ink, and it seems that if you stretch out your hand, you can wring out the ink. The lights in Cining Palace were bright, and it was another sleepless night.

The emperor was sitting with a solemn expression, the queen mother was full of anger, Concubine De knelt on the ground and wept silently, and Aunt Shuwen knelt behind Concubine De expressionlessly. Looking at the scene in front of her, Ziling's mood was extremely heavy, and in the face of the truth, she didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

Bai Rushuang also struggled to come, with unconcealed hatred in her eyes, looking at Concubine De's eyes like sharp blades, trying to cut Concubine De with a thousand knives.

"It was the concubine who asked Aunt Shuwen to deal with the snake corpse, but the concubine definitely didn't harm Bai Zhaorong!" Concubine De defended herself.

The Queen Mother said angrily: "You didn't do it, why do you want to deal with the snake corpse?" ”

"The concubine accidentally found a snake corpse in the garden, afraid of being suspected."

"How could it be so coincidental? Tomorrow the Imperial Guards will bring fierce dogs into the palace, and today you will go to the overgrown garden and 'accidentally' find the snake corpse? The Queen Mother scolded her sharply, "The mourning family believes in you so much, and swears to promise the emperor that it will never be you, you, you have disappointed the mourning family too much!" ”

"Auntie, you have to believe me, it's really not me, besides, Xiaowei was also bitten by a snake, how could I harm Xiaowei?" She was so anxious that she forgot to call her "concubine"^

"Who knows, maybe it's because of the bad things you did, she knows too much!" Meng Hongyu opened his mouth coldly, with a mockery on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were sharp.

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged. If you think so, you can call Xiaowei to confront you on the spot. Concubine De said.

"Do you think I don't know how to ask Lu Yao to confront her? She's been tortured in the prison, and she's been recruited for everything! Meng Hongyu said.

Hearing his words, Zi Ling was secretly surprised in his heart. She remembered that when she went to the Cold Moon Palace to deploy, she also saw Xiaowei coaxing Xinyu to sleep. Why did Meng Hongyu's movements be so fast, and he had already recruited Xiaowei all?

"Impossible! Rose will never betray me! Concubine De said categorically.

After saying that, she realized that she had fallen into Meng Hongyu's trap, and she froze like that. The corners of Meng Hongyu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.

Everyone heard Concubine De's "confession", and the last trace of goodwill in Ziling's heart for Concubine De disappeared instantly, and she only felt cold. She thought, "That night, was she the one who pushed me into the lotus pond of the Cold Moon Palace?" If it's really her, then her worries are all fake? She couldn't help but feel sorry for the true feelings she had paid for Concubine De during this time.

It turned out that Concubine De's tears were crocodile's tears.

"What to do with Concubine De is up to the queen mother to decide." Meng Hongyu said that although he really wanted to drive Concubine De out of the palace and never see her, she was the queen mother's niece after all, and he had to take into account the queen mother's feelings.

The Queen Mother shed tears and said to Concubine De bitterly: "The mourning family has already said last time that the royal blood is more noble than you and me. Now, you have done something that damages the blood of the royal family, which is really disappointing to the mourning family. ”

Concubine De heard the deep disappointment in the Queen Mother's words, and knew that she really wouldn't help herself this time. Suddenly, she felt scared and hopeless. Having lost the trust of the Queen Mother, what should she do in the future? What should Xinyang do?

"Declare the will of the mourning family: depose Concubine De as a concubine, imprison her for life in the Cold Moon Palace, and not meet Xinyang and Xinyu without the permission of the mourning family!" Endured the great grief in her heart, the Queen Mother made an order with tears.

"Shu Wenzhu was abusive, didn't report it, and hit the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China." The Queen Mother ordered that even Aunt Shuwen should be punished together.

When I returned to Yongle Palace, it was already early in the morning, Ziling was physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to catch up on sleep, Xiaowei came anxiously to inquire about the news: "Niangniang, you can come back, you are in a hurry to die slaves." ”

She seemed to have slept all night, her face haggard, and her eyes were sunken.

Zi Ling was slightly stunned, wasn't she locked up in the prison, why did she come out so quickly? Then, she understood that Meng Hongyu did not interrogate Xiaowei, and the reason why he said that was to set a language trap for Concubine De to jump.

Ziling couldn't help but wonder, Meng Hongyu's move was really high, and she decided to borrow it for the time being.

"Bold Xiaowei, don't recruit from the truth!" Zi Ling asked sharply.

"The mother is angry, the slave doesn't know anything." Xiaowei was so frightened that she fell to her knees and begged for mercy.

"In Cining Palace, Concubine De has already recruited everything, of course, including everything you did for her, it's just ...... She forgot to intercede for you. Now, she has been stripped of her title and imprisoned in Cold Moon Palace for life, who else can protect you? If you are willing to confess, this palace can intercede with the Queen Mother and spare you from death. Zi Ling put on the posture of a concubine and was kind and seductive.

"No......" Xiaowei burst into tears with an expression of disbelief, "Concubine De will not leave the slave and maid alone." ”

"The Queen Mother has been disappointed in Concubine De, she is now unable to protect herself, how can she save you? Besides, the emperor has decreed that you will die, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office will come soon. If you are willing to confess everything in every detail, this palace will surely save your life. ”

As soon as she heard that she had been given death, Xiaowei trembled with fright, wept like rain, and kept begging for mercy: "It was Concubine De who instructed the slave maid to buy the eunuch of Sitong Courtyard to injure Bai Zhaorong's rabbit, and then release snakes outside Sitong Courtyard...... The snake smelled blood and crawled into Bai Zhaorong's bedroom...... Concubine De also instructed the slave maid to release a snake to bite Princess Xinyu, so as to marry the concubine Niangniang...... The slave couldn't bear it, and was bitten by a snake in her heart when she hesitated...... Mother, for the sake of the slave and maid not harming the princess, let the slave and maid go......"

"What? Concubine De actually wanted to kill Yu'er? "It's unbelievable, isn't it? Yu'er is Concubine De's own daughter!

"A few years ago, Concubine De secretly asked someone to find a god to calculate a hexagram, and the heavenly master said that the princess and the mother were destined to restrain each other, and since then, Concubine De has begun to hate the princess, always saying that she is a broom star and a stumbling block." The Divine Fortune Teller is the most famous fortune teller in the capital, and there are countless people who find him to tell fortunes, from high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns.

"What about pushing the palace into the lotus pond, was she also instigated?" Zi Ling continued to ask.

"No, this matter is really not done by Concubine De! That night, Concubine De Niangniang was also frightened, she even ignored the emperor's ban and ran to Yongle Palace, and kept watch by your side all night, she was really worried about you. Xiao Wei was busy clarifying for Concubine De.

Yes, Zi Ling still remembers the worry in Concubine De's eyes that night, and it was sincere, not like it was pretending.

However, if it is not Concubine De, then who will it be?
