"Plop!"

Yuliu didn't notice it, and one accidentally fell to the ground, and her elbow hit the steps, causing her to frown in pain.

Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Kexi, who knocked Yuliu away.

But seeing Zhao Kexi tear up the note and throw it into the stove next to him, he panted nervously and proudly looked at Shang Kelan and said: "Don't want to slander me with any false note, tell you, I am sitting upright, I am not afraid that you will harm me!" ”

Shang Kelan sat on the chair, raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile and said, "Really? If you really sit up straight, how can you be so nervous about this note, this is just a purchase list handed over to the palace by the imperial dining room. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shang Kelan lowered her eyes and took out a note from her sleeve, slowly came to the Queen Mother, handed the note to the Queen Mother, and said slowly: "As for the real receipt, it is here in the palace." ”

In an instant, Zhao Kexi's eyes widened, fear spread in her eyes, she subconsciously looked at Zhao Kehan, her face was full of help.

The Queen Mother took the receipt and looked at it, and a trace of doubt drifted in her eyes.

Zhao Kehan took a sip of tea lightly, raised his eyes and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, the concubine thinks that the current rumors in the palace should be taken seriously, after all, Your Majesty's reputation must not be slandered because of the concubine." ”

As she spoke, she paused, got up and came to Shang Kelan's side, and said to Shang Kelan suspiciously: "Besides, what can a receipt say?" ”

Shang Kelan said indifferently: "The day before the fire in Xianya Palace, Chen Zhaoyi, who was supposed to learn the rules in the Jiaosifang, went to the imperial dining room to buy so much wine, and the Xianya Palace burned the next day, but the palace didn't know whether the fire was ignited unintentionally, or did Chen Zhaoyi deliberately use these wines to increase the fire and want to burn the palace?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Especially those concubines, they all looked at Zhao Kexi in shock, with a look of scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes.

Zhao Kexi swallowed his saliva and explained in a hurry: "No! No, I didn't pour the wine into the Xianya Palace, I didn't want to burn Concubine Chen! ”

Shang Kelan hooked her lips and smiled, lowered her eyes and said: "Well, if you dare to swear that it was not you who set the fire, and you can tell what the wine you bought was used for, this palace can not blame the fire in the past, and will apologize to Chen Zhaoyi, but if Chen Zhaoyi can't explain the purpose of the wine, then this palace will fight the identity of this imperial concubine, and you will definitely be punished!" ”

She said in a dangerous tone, and when she said the last sentence, she only heard Shang Kelan's voice suddenly sharpen, which frightened Zhao Kexi so much that her legs weakened and she fell to the ground.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Zhao Kexi, but saw that Zhao Kexi's face was pale, cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead, his face was suddenly gloomy, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant.

If the arson was really done by Zhao Kexi, then she couldn't keep this Zhao Kexi!

"Chen Zhaoyi, what did you do when you asked the imperial dining room to buy so much wine?"

The Queen Mother held the receipt and asked Zhao Kexi with a majestic expression.

"Concubine...... The concubines bought wine for ...... In order to ......"

Zhao Kexi knelt on the ground and said in a hurry, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.

When everyone paid attention to Zhao Kexi, they didn't notice that Zhao Kehan secretly glanced at the calligraphy and painting standing on the side.

The calligraphy and painting eyes flickered for a moment, then shook hands tightly, knelt in front of the Queen Mother with a "plop" sound, and said with a hesitant expression: "The Empress Dowager Qi, the slave knows why Chen Zhaoyi bought wine!" ”

Zhao Kexi was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to look at the calligraphy and painting, his eyes were full of disbelief: "Calligraphy and painting, you ......"

She thought that the calligraphy and painting were going to give up to herself, and her eyes gradually became soaked with despair.

"Chen Zhaoyi, let her speak!"

The Queen Mother interrupted her voice in advance and ordered the calligraphy and painting to tell the truth. Zero Zero Book House

I saw the calligraphy and painting and said respectfully: "When Chen Zhaoyi was teaching the priest to learn the rules, she was worried that Her Majesty would snub her in the future, so Niangniang asked the slave maid to go to the imperial dining room to buy a cart of wine, and set up a wine pool in Changle Palace, so as to attract Your Majesty to Changle Palace, so that you can contact Your Majesty and misunderstand ......"

After she finished speaking, the entire Cining Palace was stunned.

Even the Queen Mother was stunned, and then looked at Zhao Kexi suspiciously: "Is this really the case?" ”

The explanation of calligraphy and painting undoubtedly saved Zhao Kexi, and Zhao Kexi experienced the feeling of walking back from the ghost gate in this short moment.

But then, she felt even more proud.

Even if Concubine Chen gets the receipt, what then? She still can't hurt a single hair of herself!

Seeing the Queen Mother's question, she hurriedly got up and wiped her tears and said: "Queen Mother, it's too embarrassing to say this, the concubines are afraid of being laughed at by the sisters, so they don't dare to tell you, who knows that Concubine Chen wants to use this matter to put the concubines to death!" ”

The Queen Mother looked moved, and was about to speak out to appease Zhao Kexi, but Shang Kelan looked at her indifferently, her eyes flashing with a deep glow: "Since the purpose of this wine is explained, then Chen Zhaoyi dares to swear to the Buddha, does the fire in Xianya Palace have nothing to do with you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, in the main hall, everyone held their breath again, and their eyes swept back and forth around Shang Kelan and Zhao Kexi.

In the Palace of Nourishing Heart, not long after Shang Kelan went to Cining Palace, Jin Yantang came to the dormitory.

"Lan'er?"

He stood in the room and called, but no one answered behind the screen, only two palace maids were cleaning the room.

Jin Yantang's gentle expression suddenly returned to his previous indifference, only to hear him ask in a cold voice, "Where is Concubine Chen?" ”

The two palace maids hurriedly saluted him and replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has just ordered someone to invite Concubine Chen to Cining Palace, and Concubine Chen has just gone to a stick of incense." ”

What is the queen mother looking for Lan'er? She has always been prejudiced against Lan'er because she is the only one who favors her.

Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned around and walked towards Cining Palace.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from the Heart Cultivation Palace to the Cining Palace, because the Heart Cultivation Palace is in the outer palace of the Imperial Palace, and the Cining Palace is in the harem.

Jin Yantang was fast, and Fupu was trotting behind him to catch up with him.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, the chamberlain was about to report to the inside, Jin Yantang glanced at him, and he immediately shut up.

All the way from the side hall to the door of the main hall, Jin Yantang was just about to walk in, when he heard Shang Kelan make Zhao Kexi swear.

For a moment, he paused and stopped behind the curtain.

Zhao Kehan's attention was on Zhao Kexi, frowning slightly, thinking about how to relieve her, but was suddenly pulled by Xinrui's sleeve.

Suddenly, Zhao Kehan raised her eyes to look at Xinrui, but Xinrui quietly motioned for her to look out the door.

So Zhao Kehan followed her line of sight, but saw a pair of feet under the door curtain, where a person stood listening to the movement in the hall.

Looking at the shoes, the golden dragon pattern on the upper and ankle all indicate the identity of the owner.

Suddenly, Zhao Kehan's eyes were happy, and then she quietly withdrew her gaze, and asked Xinrui to help her come to Zhao Kexi's side.

I saw that when Zhao Kexi was thinking about how to deal with Shang Kelan, Zhao Kehan held her hand, looked at Shang Kelan with an embarrassed expression, and said: "Concubine Chen, it's the concubine who didn't discipline my sister well, but no matter how pampered her temper is, she doesn't dare to do such a thing as murder and arson, please check it out!" ”
