Chenshi, Kunning Palace.

In the bedroom, Momoka changed the queen into a palace dress embroidered with red peonies, and then redressed the queen.

After putting down the wooden comb, Momoka couldn't help but look at the kind-looking queen mother in the mirror and sighed: "Alas, Niangniang is obviously the master of the harem, but even that little concubine dares to climb on your head and bully you, it's too much!" ”

The queen smiled faintly, and did not answer to the mirror.

Momoka bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and said, "Niangniang, if you don't go back to the ancient temple, just stay in this harem and fight!" ”

The queen's red lips hooked, put down her hand and said, "Fight? It was originally a thing of the main palace, and the main palace naturally wanted to take it back. Having said that, how do you feel when you look at that concubine? ”

How did it come to Concubine Chen?

Momoka thought for a moment and replied carefully, "Concubine Chen...... The attitude towards Niangniang is very respectful, and she doesn't deal with Concubine Hua very well, but she looks quiet and well-behaved. ”

The queen's eyes flashed, she got up and walked out, Taoxiang hurriedly helped her, but she heard the queen say faintly: "One of them is the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and the other is the daughter of the governor of Yangzhou, with a noble status. ”

When Tao Xiang heard this, she said regretfully: "If Niangniang's maternal clan becomes stronger, I'm afraid that no one in the harem concubines will dare to be disrespectful to Niangniang now, just with the mistake that Concubine Hua made this morning, it will be enough to grounding her for three months!" ”

The two spoke, and then left Kunning Palace, there was no one along the way, the queen glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Taoxiang, you have been with the palace for more than five years, your loyalty to the palace is known, but there are some things I can't remember, who is the praying mantis, who is the yellow finch, and it is still an unknown number......

As she spoke, the queen's voice faded, and Momoka didn't hear it clearly, but she quietly didn't ask again.

At this time, inside the Cining Palace.

In front of everyone's eyes, Concubine Chen knelt in the main hall.

Once the crime of murdering the dragon heir is admitted, it will be light for the Queen Mother to send Concubine Chen into the cold palace!

When Concubine Chen heard this, she still maintained the posture of knocking her head on the ground, and replied respectfully: "Dare to ask the Queen Mother, what is the meaning of this?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Okay, you Concubine Chen, you dare to pretend to be stupid?" Yesterday, after Concubine Ning ate the pastries you sent, she vomited nonstop, and after being examined by the imperial doctor, poison was found in your pastries, what else are you arguing about? ”

She's really waiting for her here!

Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, her expression was calm, and she didn't see the slightest hint of being a thief.

She said unhurriedly: "Back to the Queen Mother, Sister Hua also ate this pastry at that time, but I didn't see anything unusual about Sister Hua, and at that time, the concubine also ate a piece with Sister Ning, but I didn't see anything unusual about the two sisters, which is enough to prove that the pastry sent by the concubine was not poisonous." ”

"It's just that later, whose hand did this pastry pass through, and who poisoned it, and wanted to blame the concubine, so I said both."

As soon as Shang Kelan's words fell, she heard a voice outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The emperor is coming?

For a while, all the concubines got up one after another, and when the person outside the door walked in, they curtsied and saluted: "The concubines see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!" ”

Jin Yantang's feet were like the wind, and he quickly walked past everyone.

He saw Shang Kelan kneeling in the main hall, but he didn't set his eyes on her.

I saw that after Jin Yantang saluted the Queen Mother, he sat down next to the Queen Mother, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face: "Queen Mother, can you have breakfast?" ”

When the Queen Mother saw Jin Yantang coming, her face became a little better: "I have already eaten, just this Concubine Chen, it really makes the mourning family feel uneasy, the human and material evidence is there, but she still denies the murder of the dragon heir, it is really angry and mournful!" ”

Concubine Ning sat at the position of the Queen Mother early in the morning, and when she saw Jin Yantang, a blush rose on her face, and she said to Jin Yantang in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is also to give justice to the concubine, and the concubine is really grateful!" ”

Jin Yantang glanced at her: "Didn't you let you stay in the East Palace?" What are you doing here?"

Shang Kelan knelt in the main hall, obviously kneeling, but it did not make people think that she was humble.

Listening to Jin Yantang's words, Shang Kelan couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips: It turns out that Concubine Ning is also here? No wonder, as soon as she came to the Queen Mother, she was herself.

I don't know what Concubine Ning said in the Queen Mother's ear made the Queen Mother believe a little, which made the Queen Mother so dissatisfied with her.

In the main hall of Cining Palace, all the concubines sat back on their chairs in silence, even though Concubine Hua wanted to behave in front of Jin Yantang, but in front of the Queen Mother, she didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she had to stare at Concubine Ning jealously.

After Concubine Ning listened to Jin Yantang's words, her face showed a weak look: "Concubine...... The concubine thought that the invitation ceremony on the queen's side could be waived, but the queen mother's side couldn't help but come, after all, the queen mother was also an elder concubine. ”

After saying that, knowing that her heart was lovely, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Ning with a more satisfied look.

Hearing this, Jin Yantang nodded lightly and said, "Since this is the case, then let it be yours." ”

Seeing that he had returned to his previous indifferent attitude, which was very different from yesterday's gentle appearance, the joy in Concubine Ning's heart fell a little.

At this time, Concubine Hua interjected on the side: "Then the Queen Mother, Concubine Chen has done such a rebellious thing, how are you going to punish her?" ”

Suddenly, the Queen Mother's attention returned to Shang Kelan.

After glancing at Shang Kelan condescendingly, she said heavily: "This kind of woman with an unscrupulous heart should not be kept, come to someone, pass on the message of the mourning family, Concubine Chen's misconduct, murder of the dragon heir, the crime is unforgivable, and she is specially demoted to the third grade of Zhaoyi, and she will be punished for one year and grounded for half a year, so as to set an example!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and the happiest were Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning.

After tripping the imperial concubine who was in front of the two, the queen was just a puppet-like existence in their eyes, and the power of the harem was still in the hands of the two of them, and life could be as comfortable as before!

Concubine Hua's face was full of joy that could not be concealed, although Concubine Ning was not as happy as her, her eyes were also flashing with a little excitement.

Jin Yantang's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

After hearing this, the grandmother beside the Queen Mother stood up and said, "Slave and maid obey ......"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded from the main hall, and a smile flashed in Jin Yantang's eyes, and then he looked at the person in the center of the main hall.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned and stared at Shang Kelan and said, "What? Do you have any objection to the punishment of the mourners? ”

Shang Kelan hooked her lips and smiled, slowly straightened her waist, raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother: "If this thing is really done by the concubine, the Queen Mother will punish the concubine this time, and the concubine will be punished willingly." ”

The Queen Mother said impatiently: "Then what are you?" ”

Shang Kelan said unhurriedly: "But the concubine hasn't done this, so why should she confess?" In addition, the concubine thinks that this matter is full of suspicions, and it is necessary to review it again, if the queen mother believes that it was the concubine who did it, then why not give the concubine another three days to investigate the case? ”
