"What is my sin in Gaowei Lake?" Gao Weihu's face was calm, and he looked at Xiao Ruyan's gaze without fear.

"What is the sin?" Xiao Ruyan seemed to hear something funny, and chuckled: "After the abolition, you really know how to laugh, now everyone in the palace says that you had a private meeting with someone last night, and the palace manages the harem, so naturally you can't let it go." ”

"Since I am here for interrogation, the concubine has lost her virtue in one sentence, if it is determined that I have done something despicable, then I will come up with evidence." When Gao Weihu saw her arrogant posture, he only felt disgusted in his heart, and he didn't want to look at her.

"Evidence? It has to be tried before it can be tried, and after seeing that it is so stubborn, it is not possible to confess it, so it is not possible to go on like this. Concubine Xiao Guifei said leisurely, and then glanced at the palace maid on the side and ordered: "You go and find a few eunuchs to cut off this chain." ”

"Since the abolition is so stubborn, then go to the Xinzhiku to taste the taste of despicability to dust, this palace is looking forward to it." Xiao Ruyan said, the fierceness in his eyes flashed.

Gao Weihu also ignored her, sneering in her heart, if Xiao Guifei really had a way to cut off this chain, she really had to thank her.

The palace maid left quickly, and when she came back, she brought back a few eunuchs, stood in front of Xiao Guifei with her head down, and said respectfully: "The slave sees Guifei Niangniang." ”

"Men of you, go and cut off these chains." Xiao Ruyan took a sip of tea leisurely, and seemed to have seen Gao Weihu's tired and humble appearance in Xinzhiku, and a satisfied smile was hooked on his lips.

She looked at the two eunuchs and said, "Say, where is the key to unlock this lock?" ”

"This ......" The two eunuchs glanced at each other and replied even more frightened: "The slave doesn't know, this iron chain is extraordinary, since it was cast by the emperor, the key must be in the emperor's place." ”

Concubine Xiao pondered for a moment, and said to the palace maid on the side: "You go to the imperial study and let Gui Xi come, don't let the emperor find out ......"

"Yes." The maid hurried out again.

Gao Weihu looked indifferent on the surface, but in his heart, he secretly thought that if Xiao Guiren could really open this chain today, then even if she went to Xinzhiku, she would definitely be able to escape from this palace in the future, instead of sitting back and waiting for death like now.

She has been looking forward to freedom outside the palace for a long time, in modern times, she is extremely noble, she is a big star sought after by everyone, and her career and love are perfect, but in this ancient time, she has fallen to such a point that she is slaughtered by others.

Gao Weihu's heart was faintly sad, how proud she was at the beginning, but now she has been so forbearance by this deep palace.

Gui Xi is the emperor's personal eunuch, and he must know this lock, so when Gui Xi appeared, Gao Weihu's eyes looked at him with a little expectation in his eyes.

"The slave sees the concubine Niangniang, I don't know if the maid called the slave to come, but what's the matter?" Gui Xi is also a person around the emperor in the end, not like the two minions just now.

"Father-in-law Guixi, do you know what this chain is?" Xiao Guifei looked at Gui Xi with her eyes, paying attention to the change in his expression, Gui Xi's face changed for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Guifei with a smile: "Guifei Niangniang, this lock is a strange product, everything is not quite good, unless there is a key, otherwise it cannot be opened." ”

"Since my father-in-law knows, let's hand over the key." Her tone sounded soothing, but there was an endless oppression.

"Niangniang said with a smile, how can this key slave have a ......" Gui Xi said with a smile, looking calm.

A palace maid came into the dormitory and bowed slightly to Xiao Ruyan: "Niangniang, the slave maid asked the Iron Bureau, they can indeed make the key to this lock, but they don't dare without the emperor's order, and they also saw the emperor hand over the key to Guixi's father-in-law......"

Gui Xi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor did give this lock key to the slave and let the slave keep it, although the slave didn't know what the emperor wanted, but without the emperor's instructions, the slave didn't dare to open the chain easily." ”

Gao Weihu listened to Gui Xi's words, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, this Beitang Jinyu was afraid that there was one person Liu Yingjiang and Le Yao who would go to get the key to save themselves, so hand it over to Gui Xi, no one would have thought that such a valuable thing would be kept by a eunuch.

There was a stalemate in Fengqi Palace, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was also heavy, Mu Chen had already traced the rumors about the harem, and he truthfully replied to Beitang Jinyu: "Your Majesty, this news came from Yiyue Palace, and a little palace maid said it, saying that she saw the emperor coming out of Fengqi Palace late at night. ”

"How can a little palace maid make such a storm?" Beitang Jinyu looked disbelieving, and gently played with a feather fan in his hand, with a little contemplation between his eyebrows.

"The little palace maid can't, but if someone instigates this palace maid......" Mu Chen said cautiously, Beitang Jinyu frowned and looked at him: "You mean this matter was done by Concubine Zhen?" ”

"I don't dare to speculate."

"Concubine Zhen is pure by nature, she won't be like this." Beitang Jinyu didn't believe that this matter would be done by Liu Xu'er, she has always been gentle and kind, how could she use this rumor to disturb the harem in front of the storm, someone must have borrowed a knife to kill people, with the help of the hand of the concubine to get rid of the waste queen, and it can also lead the water to the east and drag the concubine into the water.

What a poisonous trick.

Beitang Jinyu secretly thought to himself, and suddenly had a clue, he called Gui Xi but no one answered, and a little eunuch panicked and said that Gui Xi was called by a palace maid, and it seemed that he was going to Yuhua.

Beitang Jinyu was shocked, and hurriedly rushed towards Fengqi Palace, Gao Weihu is now trapped, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, if someone really wants to harm her, it will be easy at all.

Now that Gui Xi has been quietly called, he must also have an identity, not to mention that Gui Xi has the key to unlock the chains.

Beitang Jinyu became more and more uneasy, and his steps hurried.

He soon arrived at Qifeng Palace, and when he saw those palace maids guarding outside the dormitory, his heart sank, and he waved his sleeves to signal those palace maids to silence.

Beitang Jinyu faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from the dormitory, and had no time to care about anything else, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

When he entered the door and saw the scene, it was the two eunuchs who raised their swords and struggled to cut the chains, and Xiao Guifei on the side was full of anger.

Everyone heard the movement and looked at the door of the dormitory, and when they saw that it was Beitang Jinyu, everyone except Gao Weihu was shocked, and hurriedly saluted: "See the emperor." ”

"If I hadn't come a few steps late, wouldn't you group even have to lift the roof of Fengqi Palace for me?" Beitang Jinyu looked at them with a cold gaze, with a piercing chill.

Originally, it was the beginning of summer when it was warm, but his appearance was suddenly full of chills, and he couldn't help but shiver.

A little panic flashed in Xiao Ruyan's eyes, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare to deceive the emperor, now the rumors in the palace are disturbing the harem, and the concubines don't want the emperor to worry about this matter, so they interrogated it in person, and they didn't want to be so stubborn after the abolition." Xiao Ruyan paused for a moment, and then continued: "I thought it would be such a stalemate, but after the abolition, I said that if the concubine could summon Gui Xi and help her open the chain, she would definitely confess truthfully." ”

Gao Yuhu listened to Xiao Ruyan's words, and couldn't help but hook her lips and sneer, what she provoked herself, now she is putting all the blame on herself, but she is bent on sharing worries for the emperor and gaining a reputation as virtuous.

But if she can really open the chains today, she can bear any sin.

Her eyes looked at Beitang Jinyu, and her eyes were facing each other, and she said calmly: "If the emperor wants to know something, just ask?" ”

Beitang Jinyu snorted coldly, and still questioned Xiao Ruyan, who was kneeling in front of him: "Then according to what the concubine said, I just saw that you ordered someone to forcibly cut off the chains, and this is also to help the queen who is abolished?" ”

Xiao Ruyan lowered her eyes, and her palms were sweating nervously.

"Concubine......" She hesitated to speak, and a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door of the dormitory.

Liu Yu'er's footsteps were a little hurried, and she curtsied in the face of Beitang Jinyu and said, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

"Why is Concubine Ai here?" Beitang Jinyu frowned slightly, picked up the tea on the side and took a sip slowly.

Liu Xu'er glanced at Xiao Guifei and Gao Weihu without a trace, and said to Beitang Jinyu in her usual gentle voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the flowers in the imperial garden had bloomed early, and she originally wanted to ask the concubine's sister to enjoy the flowers, but when she walked to the palace, she didn't see anyone, and she heard that the palace people said that they had come to Qifeng Palace, and even the emperor came, and Long Yan was furious, and the concubine was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so she came in to take a look." ”

Beitang Jinyu nodded, with a bit of tenderness in his eyes, Gao Weihu looked at it, but he sneered in his heart, this willow catkins came in time, even if it was the reason for coming, it was for Beitang Jinyu, a hypocrite!

"Get up." Beitang Jinyu glanced at Xiao Ruyan, and immediately a palace maid helped her get up.

"Your Majesty, although the concubines rarely hear about the harem, but when they go out today, they have heard a lot, and the sister of the concubine came to interrogate the former queen this time, and naturally she is also abiding by her responsibility to manage the harem, otherwise who wants to stand on the cusp of this? I also hope that the emperor will see clearly. Liu Yu'er said softly, and the smile on her lips was even more decent.

"Then according to what Concubine Ai said, how should this matter be?" Beitang Jinyu asked, her angry look looked a little uneasy, and Liu Yu'er lowered her eyes and frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is just a concubine, and she doesn't dare to talk about it without permission." ”

Beitang Jinyu raised his eyebrows and waved his big hand: "I forgive you for your innocence, Concubine Ai said yes." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xu'er pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why the emperor is angry with the concubine is that he feels that the mother should not manage this matter, but from the perspective of the concubine, she is in charge of the harem, if she does not do her best, she will inevitably be criticized. ”

Beitang Jinyu listened to Liu Wu'er's words, quietly playing with the teacup in her hand, Xiao Guifei's eyes were also a little relieved, she really didn't misunderstand Liu Wu'er.
