As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Guiren, who was already shocked and angry, and was so anxious that he couldn't speak.

Sima Yao only relieved his heart after listening to them, and said with a smile: "Innocent, innocent, you have to serve the immortal master well in the future, and now I know that Miaoyin really has magical powers." ”

He looked at the dumb Zhang Guiren and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else to explain about Concubine Ai?" ”

Zhang Guiren could only say stiffly: "The concubine didn't tell the two of her to do this evil thing. ”

How well did the emperor know her, and when he saw her expression, he knew that she was quibbling, and he no longer pursued it, but said lightly: "Originally, if it was your intention, I would not be too harsh on you, at most I would reprimand you." ”

"Since it wasn't your order, it was Lady Cai who made her own decisions, then I can only punish it according to the palace rules, and someone will ...... come."

Cai Nushi was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to speak again.

Zhang Guiren saw that the emperor was going to take Cai Nushi's knife, his expression changed greatly, and he begged: "Your Majesty, Cai Nushi is the only relative in my palace, why are you so ruthless, don't you remember all the past between the concubine and you, you once said that the concubine is your favorite person." ”

The two of them have that sweet talk, when the mountains and the sea swear.

Seeing her say this, Sima Yao couldn't bear it in his heart, his expression couldn't help but be a little relaxed, and asked, "Then I'll give you another chance, is this matter at your instigation?" ”

Zhang Guiren looked at him aggrievedly, and then looked at Cai Nushi who was lying on the ground, and could only nod lightly.

Although the emperor has long been sure of her, when he saw her admit it at this time, he was even more hesitant in his heart, he really spoiled her too much, and only let her do whatever she wanted. However, he still didn't want to convict Zhang Guiren, and still wanted to let her go this time.

At this time, the palace maid reported: "The queen mother drove to ......"

Queen Wang Fahui was well-dressed, the hairpin ring came neatly, and the long skirt behind her dragged on the ground, looking very tortuous.

She hadn't seen the emperor for nearly a month, and she was in a trance for a while when she saw her husband's handsome appearance, but she still controlled her mood and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" The concubine heard that something happened to Sister Zhang, so she came over to take a look, no matter what, the concubine is still the honor of the harem, and the concubine can't ignore this kind of thing. ”

Sima Yao was the most impatient to see her, obviously her beauty was no less than Zhang Guiren, but she had the arrogance of a noble family, which was what Sima Yao didn't like her the most. She is the culprit who killed her beloved Chen Shuyuan, but she has no way to punish her, and she is still not comfortable with this breath.

He was very unhappy when he saw that the queen arrived as soon as possible, and he was reluctant to deal with Zhang Guiren personally, and sarcastically said to her: "The queen is really well-informed, and she can know everything about the palace when she sits in her palace, so it is better to invite the queen to sit in the court on my behalf, and then my world will be all in your hands." ”

When the queen heard this kind of heart-wrenching words, her expression remained unchanged, and she smiled and said to herself: "The emperor said that he laughed, the concubines were just worried about the false law of the harem, and they had never dared to slack off in the slightest, and the sisters who did wrong things naturally need to be restricted by the palace rules, and they couldn't do whatever they wanted." ”

Originally, if the queen didn't come, Sima Yao would also punish and teach Zhang Guiren a lesson. At this time, his stubborn temper flinched, and he was determined not to let the queen succeed.

He didn't speak, just sat to the side and saw what the queen was going to do.

Wang Fahui sat on the throne beside the emperor and asked condescendingly: "Sister, I heard that you instructed the palace maid to murder the Miaoyin Immortal Master, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Guiren was very embarrassed, she saw that the emperor was expressionless, she didn't know what he meant, and she had already admitted just now that she couldn't bully the emperor in person, so she could only grit her teeth and replied stubbornly: "Yes, it is the concubine who is confused for a while, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

Her eyes were full of tears, and the pear blossoms looked very pitiful with rain, Sima Yao clenched his fists, but he still didn't say anything.

The queen was very happy, and asked the aunt in charge beside her: "There has been no such thing in the palace for a long time, but I don't know how to punish this crime according to the palace rules?" ”

The aunt in charge is the queen's person, so she naturally heard the sound and knew the elegance, and said respectfully: "If you go back to Niangniang, the crime of murdering the concubine is equivalent to murdering the royal family, and it is the crime of rebellion, and it should be punished with Ling Chi capital punishment, but Zhang Niangniang is also a member of the royal family, so she only needs to die." ”

The queen asked leisurely, "Sister, are you guilty?" ”

Zhang Guiren was speechless and looked at Sima Yao in horror.

Sima Yao asked with a smile: "Empress, do you really want to give Zhang Guiren the death penalty?" The words were full of deep meaning, obviously asking her to accept it when she saw it.

But the queen insisted on not going down the steps, and asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, if my sister acts so recklessly and does not punish her, how can she correct the rules of the palace, and how can I, the queen, serve the public?" ”

Sima Yao didn't look at her with disgust, and said stubbornly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the queen, this poison was handed over to Zhang Guiren by my own hands, just a joke with Miaoyin Immortal Master, since it didn't cause any uncontrollable consequences, why should the queen be so serious?" Are you still going to dispose of me? ”

The queen and Zhang Guiren looked at him in disbelief, he enjoyed the surprised gazes of the two, and said to the queen firmly: "Yes, it is my command, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Guiren was grateful, and fell at the emperor's feet and cried, the queen was so angry that her face turned blue and she couldn't speak anymore.

The two female officials on the side, Cai Nushi and Yan Gu, were already stunned, and the Yan female official was secretly surprised in her heart, although she looked at Miaoyin's favor, the status of this noble person in the emperor's heart had not been reduced at all, and she couldn't help but regret her actions a little, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no turning back.

I saw Zhang Guiren hugging Sima Yao's knees and snuggling up to him like a docile kitten, and Sima Yao also patted the back of her hand comfortingly, looking very useful.

Wang Fahui saw that such a thing had happened, and Zhang Guiren and the emperor were still close, so he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, stopped talking, bowed and left.

Female official Yan and female official Gu naturally did not leave to be suspicious, and the two retreated silently together, not daring to make a sound.

There were only two people in the palace, the emperor and Zhang Guiren, Sima Yao thought that he had done her such a big favor just now, so he took the opportunity to say: "You can't be so willful in the future, if you poison every woman I favor, what is the difference between it and the queen's evil woman?" ”

Although Zhang Guiren was full of joy, he didn't like to hear him say such things, although he agreed, his face was very uncertain.

Sima Yao admonished again: "Miaoyin Immortal Master is really a person with magical powers, you better not fight with her." ”
