In the Yongnian Palace, outside Xinyu's bedroom, Zhan Zhan hid in the shadows, secretly checking every move in the room.

The two little palace maids whispered beside Xinyu's bed, and Xiao Lu said: "Concubine De is also ruthless, and she actually attacked her daughter. ”

Xiaohong said: "Yes, on such a cold day, it is strange that the princess is not sick if you pour two large buckets of cold water on the princess's head." I feel distressed when I look at it, our princess is so cute. ”

Xiao Lu said: "Yes, although the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, she can ......"

Finally stayed up until the second half of the night to change people on duty, Xiaohong and Xiaolu returned to the palace maid's residence with sleepiness, and halfway through, a black shadow attacked, and they fainted......

When they woke up, they found themselves in a quiet hut, looking around, they saw Zi Ling and Zhan Zhan, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zi Ling to say goodbye.

Zi Ling sat on the chair and said gently: "Concubine De's abuse of Princess Xinyu, you are the one who knows, and you don't report it, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Xiaohong hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Concubine Niangniang's life, we are slaves, and we can only obey the master's orders." Concubine De said that whoever said it would die, and even the family would be affected, so we didn't dare to say anything! ”

Xiao Lu said: "Concubine De even abused her own daughter, and those of us who are slaves are even more cheap!" No one dares to say it! ”

Zi Ling said, "Don't worry, I won't harm you." As long as you tell the emperor and the queen mother what you see without concealment, you can make up for your mistakes and save your own life. Do you understand? "I hope they can understand that the emperor is their real master, and only he can deal with Concubine De.

Zi Ling continued to persuade them: "The emperor loves Princess Xinyu so much, if he knows about this, he will definitely not spare Concubine De, nor will he spare you." If you are willing to tell the emperor the truth, you may be able to live. ”

Little Red and Little Green gradually figured it out, but there was still a hint of hesitation.

Zi Ling struck while the iron was hot: "I will definitely help you intercede then, and after the matter is completed, the palace will transfer you to Yongle Palace." ”

Xiaohong and Xiaolu had already heard that Ziling was a good master, and the errand in Yongle Palace was the easiest in the palace. Weighing their interests, they nodded in agreement.

On the second day, the emperor and the queen mother both went to Yongnian Palace to see Xinyu.

Although the Queen Mother is virtuous, it is human nature to protect her relatives, so she believed Concubine De's words and believed that it was Zi Ling who abused Xinyu. What's more, everyone believes that tiger poison does not eat children, so the palace has determined that Ziling is the culprit.

Ziling was already fully sure, so she wasn't worried, just quietly watched Concubine De's "performance".

Concubine De kept crying to the Queen Mother: "Concubine Xiao is so ruthless...... Such a young child also beats ......" Under her accusation, Zi Ling is like a heinous and vicious woman, and five horses and corpses are not enough to atone for her sins.

The Queen Mother's face became more and more ugly, and she glared at Zi Ling coldly. Meng Hongyu was calm, but slightly more serious than usual.

Ziling suddenly felt that the scene in front of her was very ridiculous, like a serial drama, there were laughter and crying, blood and tears, conspiracy and framing in the play, and she was forced to act, she is still a big villain!

She felt more and more pitiful for Concubine De. She is only a twenty-six-year-old woman, and in the twenty-first century, she is at most a girl in the arms of her parents. But in this sinister deep palace, she forced herself to mature prematurely, and she also learned to conspire and frame without a teacher.

She doesn't have her husband's love, she doesn't have the care of her parents, although she has the protection of the Queen Mother, but after all, the Queen Mother is her mother-in-law. For the happiness of herself and her son, she is careful everywhere and plans step by step. She buried all her grief and pain in her heart, with nowhere to vent and no one to talk to. Gradually, she inevitably suppressed and vented her resentment on her daughter - who called her not a prince!

After being discovered by Ziling that she was abusing Xinyu, in order to protect herself and protect her son, she had to take action first. Thinking about it from another perspective, Zi Ling felt that she didn't seem to be so hateful, just pitiful.

Can't be soft-hearted, Ziling told herself that since Concubine De had made up her mind to strike first, she would definitely put her to death, if she was soft-hearted, not only would she not be able to save Xinyu, but she might also be unable to save her life!

This is the contest between good and evil, between life and death!

Within these walls, she not only has to protect herself, but also the people around her. Therefore, if you can't learn, you will be calculated, and you can escape the conspiracy, but you can't escape the conspiracy.

Zi Ling finally spoke: "Your Majesty, Zi Ling wants you to see two people. ”

Meng Hongyu said: "Call up." ”

Little Red and Little Green came to the holy car tremblingly, and knelt on the ground with a thud, so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads.

Zi Ling said softly: "The emperor and the queen mother are reasonable people, you just need to tell everything you know." ”

Xiaohong said: "If Concubine De Niangniang doesn't go well, she will beat the princess, and the princess was fine when she came back from Yongle Palace yesterday...... Concubine De carried two buckets of cold water and poured it on the princess...... And the princess was sick......"

Concubine De's face turned pale, and she shouted hoarsely: "Shut up!" No nonsense...... Hongu is the princess's biological mother, how can she beat her! You two cheap minions must have been bought by Xiao Ziling! ”

She knelt in front of the Queen Mother, hugged the Queen Mother's legs and cried: "Auntie, you have to believe me." These two must have been bought by Concubine Xiao and framed me in turn. Auntie, I'm Yu'er's mother-in-law, how can I beat her......"

Xiao Lu was so anxious that she cried: "Your Majesty, what the slave said is true, and you will never dare to deceive the emperor!" The slave really felt sorry for the princess, so she dared to say it, even if she was beaten to death by Concubine De, she would save the princess. ”

Meng Hongyu's face was extremely ugly, he clenched his fists tightly, and he was extremely cold: "Concubine De! You explain it to me! ”

Concubine De was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and trembled: "The emperor, the emperor, the concubine and the concubine are Yu'er's mothers, how could they beat her." ”

With a "bang", Meng Hongyu swept the teacup on the table to the ground fiercely, and said sharply: "It is precisely because you are Yu'er's mother that you are even more hateful!" Do you think what you're doing is really unaware? Don't forget, in this palace, I am the only master! Yu'er's nurse has also confessed, you still want to quibble! ”

The Queen Mother was so frightened that she refused to believe the facts, and still tried to intercede for Concubine De: "Is the emperor mistaken, Concubine De is Yu'er's mother......"

"Queen Mother, Erchen has already sent someone to find out, Yu'er is indeed often abused by Concubine De. I also asked the imperial doctor, and the injuries on Yu'er's body were all old wounds. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head vigorously, obviously still refusing to believe the facts: "No! I don't believe it! Concubine De is gentle and virtuous, she will not do such a thing! ”

Zi Ling silently watched this "good show". Originally, she thought that she was the director and could control the development of the plot, but who knows, Meng Hongyu arranged everything and controlled the overall situation, and she became the audience.

Perhaps, even if she was going to arrange for Xiaohong and Xiaolu to appear, he had expected it? He only pretended not to know, so that she could come forward to take over Concubine De's mask, so that she would be the one who directly offended the Queen Mother, and he was still the Queen Mother's "good emperor".

Is this trick called "praying mantis catches cicadas, yellow finches behind"?

Xinyu's nurse came to report with joy on her face: "The princess is awake!" The princess is awake! ”

A group of people gathered around Xinyu's bed.

Concubine De stepped forward and stretched out her hand to take Xinyu into her arms, but Xinyu's face turned pale with fright and shrunk her small body. The Queen Mother also saw this scene.

Zi Ling had an idea, and also walked towards Xinyu, Xinyu threw herself into Zi Ling's arms and hugged her tightly: "Guifei Niangniang......"

Concubine De was so angry that she almost fainted, and the Queen Mother's face turned blue and slapped Concubine De fiercely.

Xinyu was so frightened that she cried "wow", and Ziling gently comforted her.

Concubine De knelt on the ground, bowing her head and sobbing.

The Queen Mother scolded her: "You are so bold, you dare to abuse my grandson, she is the emperor's daughter, and she has the blood of the royal family on her body, and she is more noble than you and me!" This time, I can't help you anyway. The Queen Mother was obviously disappointed and sighed heavily.

Concubine De couldn't help kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Auntie, you want to save me." Emperor...... Your Majesty, spare your concubines. The concubine didn't dare anymore! ”

Meng Hongyu looked at her indifferently with a look of disgust.

The Queen Mother was exhausted and held her head: "The mourning family has a splitting headache, I really can't stand it." What to do with her, the emperor, you can do it. ”

Aunt Shu Wen hugged the Queen Mother and left Yongnian Palace.

"For the sake of the queen mother's face, I will not abolish you, but I never want to see you again. You move to the Cold Moon Palace to live, without my permission, it is forbidden to take half a step out of the Cold Moon Palace! ”

Cold Moon Palace is Cold Palace.
