"What the hell is going on? Why can't the mourning family understand? Emperor, Jing'er, you speak from the beginning and listen to the palace! When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned and asked, as she spoke, she turned her eyes and said, "Don't stand here, let's go into the hall and say!" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, your body and bones matter." The emperor said in a deep voice, and as he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the Changqiu Palace.

At this moment, he secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he couldn't promise to marry Gu Ruoxi to Xuanyuan Jingxi today! Never!

The Queen Mother glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, raised her feet to keep up with the emperor's steps, and Aunt Jingyue supported her by the side.

Xuanyuan Jingxi had just hugged Gu Ruoxi all the way out, and at this time he hugged him back.

Everyone entered the main hall, and Concubine Jing had already led all the palace people to kneel there respectfully to greet them.

"The concubines see the emperor! See the Queen Mother! ”

"That's it! Get up! The Emperor walked past Concubine Jing, resisted the urge to kick her, and sat down in the top position. The Queen Mother sat down beside the emperor.

Xuanyuan Jingxi hugged Gu Ruoxi, gently placed her on the last chair, and sat beside him.

When the emperor saw this scene, he was very unhappy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Seventh brother, Miss Gu Er is weak. The wind can't blow, and she's still dizzy, what are you doing putting her here? Let's put it in the inner sanctum! I'm going to order someone to call in a doctor! ”

"No need!" Xuanyuan Jingxi simply refused: "Xi'er, she has been hit by an aphrodisiac, just get a good night's sleep, there is no need to invite any doctors!" As he spoke, he paused and said meaningfully: "Brother Huang, my brother just said that Jinye Hou has already married Xi'er to me, how can my fiancée rest in the palace of the imperial brother and concubine?" It's not right, it's very wrong! ”

"You want to be disrespectful, don't you?" The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi gloomily, he simply hated this person who destroyed his perfect plan, and really wanted to dismantle Xuanyuan Jingxi into eight pieces!

"Alright, alright! Don't argue just yet! The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Wait for the mourning family to figure out the truth of the matter first!" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Concubine Jing and said, "It happened in your dormitory." Jing Concubine, come on! ”

"Yes! The Queen Mother! When Concubine Jing heard this, she quickly raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor sitting at the top, and said in a low voice: "At the palace banquet at that time, the concubine accidentally spilled tea on the sleeve of the second lady of the ancient family, and the emperor ordered the concubine to take her to the Changqiu Palace to change clothes...... Afterward. His Royal Highness King Jing broke in with a sword! ”

Concubine Jing slowly recounted the scene at that time, but in order to exonerate herself, she almost put all the blame on Xuanyuan Jingxi.

When the emperor heard this, his face was even more angry. He slapped the table hard and said angrily, "Seventh brother."

！ What crime should you be guilty of trespassing on the Changqiu Palace with a knife! ”

"Brother Chen has nothing to say." Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly.

He did it, and he won't deny it.

"The Queen Mother! Look at him! I must have been too indulgent to him on weekdays! That's why he's so lawless! The Emperor turned his head and trembled his fingers at the Queen Mother, accusing him: "But I am not ready to indulge you like this anymore!" Today, the seventh brother must be punished! ”

"Don't be impatient, the emperor." The Queen Mother was not angry, let alone favored Xuanyuan Jingxi, but said lightly: "The matter has not been finished yet, it is not too late for you to let Concubine Jing finish talking about everything." ”

When the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly and closed his mouth.

Concubine Jing glanced at the expressions of the people in the hall, lowered her head and said worriedly: "Later, His Royal Highness King Jing directly broke into the room where Miss Gu Er was changing, and the concubines and others were afraid of the sword in his hand, so they didn't dare to rush up to stop ......."

"The next thing. It's up to me to say that. Xuanyuan Jingxi interrupted Concubine Jing's words, glanced at her lazily and said, "Because after that, you hid outside and didn't know anything." ”

Saying that, without giving Concubine Jing a chance to refute, Xuanyuan Jingxi described the scene word by word: "When I entered the room, I immediately smelled a sweet and greasy smell, this smell, if it is a person who frequents the Qinglou, it should soon smell that it is an aphrodisiac incense, unfortunately, I also recognize this fragrance." ”

The emperor's face sank.

"Go on." The Queen Mother said slowly.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the pale-faced emperor, and said, "For the sake of Miss Gu's reputation, I think the imperial brother should listen carefully." ”

The Emperor snorted coldly. Said: "Empty words! There is no evidence, why do you say that there is an aphrodisiac incense in my concubine's dormitory that only Qinglou women use? You're slandering! I'm a reporter! ”

"Brother Huang, you don't have to worry, you want to see the evidence, wait a lot." Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly, and continued: "Later, in a fit of anger, I knocked the incense burner to the ground, but the fragrance became more and more intense, and I kicked it out with one kick. ”

"Later, when I entered the house, I found that there was no palace maid waiting in the house, and Miss Gu Er was lying on the bed, but the clothes on her body had been changed and replaced with a transparent gauze dress!" When Xuanyuan Jingxi said this, his tone suddenly became stern: "Brother Huang, don't you ask Concubine Jing Niangniang, why did she do this?" ”

The Queen Mother is such a shrewd person, how can she not understand the meaning of this when she survives to the position of the Queen Mother in this palace?

Where is Concubine Jing changing her clothes for Miss Gu Er, it is clear that she is taking the opportunity to trick her into the dormitory, lighting aphrodisiac incense, changing into a gauze dress, and asking the emperor to be happy with her!

Fortunately, Jing'er moved fast enough! This scene was avoided!

"Emperor, what you are thinking about is finally clear

, but, Miss Gu is the crown princess, but you want to include your daughter-in-law's sister in your harem, how can you count this generation! The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said in a deep voice.

The emperor's face sank, he knew that the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Jingxi had already understood his intentions, but he said stiffly: "Queen Mother, what did you say?" I don't understand? All of this is the ghost of Concubine Jing, who knows what she is planning behind her back! ”

"Your Majesty! The concubine is wronged! When Concubine Jing heard this, she knelt on the ground in a daze, but she couldn't say anything about the bitterness in her heart. Seeing that things were failing, the emperor calculated all these things on his head, but what could she say? Can you tell everyone that the emperor instructed her to do all this?

No! If she does, I'm afraid she won't see the sun tomorrow.

Doing things for the emperor has such consequences, if it is done, she will get a lot of benefits, but if it fails, then she is a scapegoat.

Concubine Jing really regretted it.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded and said, "Not bad!" No one understands what the hell Concubine Jing is doing, she asked people to change Xi'er's clothes, but they were stuffed under the bed, I struggled to find them, but there were a lot of embroidery needles hidden in the clothes, no, they also pricked my hand! ”

"Really? Let the Queen Mother see! When the Queen Mother heard this, she beckoned Xuanyuan Jingxi to come over, dragged his two hands, and looked at them carefully.

Sure enough, on Xuanyuan Jingxi's right index finger, there was a thin needle eye that had been poked out by a needle, and there were dry black blood stains on it.

"Oops! It turned out to be true! The Queen Mother gently stroked the eye of the needle, and said distressedly.

"That's your own carelessness!" When the emperor saw this scene, he couldn't help sneering, and when he finished laughing, he turned his head and glanced at Jing Concubine who was kneeling on the ground.

He didn't tell Concubine Jing to do this, but she did, what does this mean? Concubine Jing is secretly calculating Gu Ruoxi!

This woman who is against the yang and the yin!

"It's not about the concubines! Emperor! The concubine didn't know anything about it! Sensing the fiery gaze thrown at her by the emperor, Jing Concubine screamed violently. With a deep fear in her heart, she knew she was finished.

The emperor simply ignored her.

"Mother, this is just a needle's eye, what kind of wound is it? Don't be sad, just stay on it tomorrow! Xuanyuan Jingxi comforted the Empress Dowager Ye, but turned his head to face the emperor and said: "Brother Huang, what is the matter, the younger brother has already told everything, and there is no lie!" If the imperial brother wants to see the evidence, he can also send someone in to call Xuanyuan Yu out, he is collecting evidence inside! ”

"Xuanyuan Yu is also there?" When the emperor heard this, he was taken aback again.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded and said, "Isn't it?" The younger brother had just removed Xi'er from the house

Take it out, and he'll come, faster than your royal brother! As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Jing Concubine who was kneeling on the ground.

The emperor followed his gaze and saw Jing Concubine, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.

This slut!

The emperor was about to ask Concubine Jing when suddenly, there was a noisy voice outside.

"Who's making a noise outside?" The Emperor immediately asked.

Immediately outside the door, a guard came in and reported: "Go back to the emperor!" The three princes are out asking to see them! ”

The emperor's face became even more ugly when he heard this, why should all the people who shouldn't have come here today!

The corners of Xuanyuan Jingxi's lips were hooked, revealing a smile.

"Emperor, since Jing'er said that Yu'er went to collect evidence, why didn't the emperor summon him in?" The Queen Mother on the side couldn't help asking.

The emperor glanced at the Queen Mother with a gloomy face, and finally ordered in a deep voice: "Let him in!" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, and walked over and sat beside Gu Ruoxi.

After a while, Xuanyuan Yu walked in from outside, and immediately knelt down and invited everyone to a leaf: "Son, see your father!" See the Imperial Grandmother! ”

"Why don't you go to visit your mother, what are you doing here to Concubine Jing?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

Xuanyuan Yu didn't get the order to get up, so he had to continue to kneel there, and he replied respectfully: "Back to my father's words, it was the palace people around Concubine Jing Niangniang who sent a message to Erchen, saying that the second lady of the Gu family drank too much at the banquet, and now she has passed out, so let Erchen send her out of the palace." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, don't spew blood! When did the concubine order someone to send you a message?! Concubine Jing on the side suddenly raised her head and glanced at the emperor, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The third prince didn't know who instructed him to slander his concubines here! "Take the medical department as a waste.

"You were wronged?" When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Concubine Jing with a calm face, but he didn't believe her words in his heart.

When Xuanyuan Yu heard this, he was very inexplicable: "Concubine Jing, we have never had contact with each other in the past, if you hadn't sent me a message, how could I have come here with a baba?" Well, this is a small note from your palace people. Xuanyuan Yu said, taking out a small folded paper ball from his sleeve.

"Bring it on!" The emperor glanced at Xuanyuan Yu and said. By this time, his face had softened.

"Yes! Father! Xuanyuan Yu listened, and immediately handed the paper ball in his hand to Grandpa Gao on the side. Gonggong Gao stretched out his hand to take it, turned around and returned to the emperor, bowed down and handed it to him.

The emperor took it, looked down twice, but said to Xuanyuan Yu: "This is not the trace of Jing Concubine, just this." You can't assume that what you say is true. ”

"Father! Erchen remembers the palace man who sent the letter! Xuanyuan Yu thought about it, and immediately said to the emperor: "Father, you have always known that your sons always remember."

The appearance and name of the palace people have made a lot of jokes about this, but today, Erchen clearly remembers the appearance of the palace maid! Not only that, Erchen also remembered that she had a very good smell of hibiscus flowers! ”

"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned his head and glanced at Concubine Jing with a sharp gaze.

"Some time ago, a small country on the southern border sent tribute, and one of them was a very other spice, and the taste was hibiscus flower." The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said slowly: "The emperor sent some to the mourning family." But the mourning family disliked that the smell was too strong, so they retreated, I don't know which concubine the emperor gave it? ”

"I gave it to Concubine Jing." The emperor said word by word.

It was given to her last night, to be exact! This slut can't wait to use it today! This made Xuanyuan Yu remember that taste!

At this time, the emperor had completely believed what Xuanyuan Yu said, and his expression said everything.

Concubine Jing never thought that she was just kindly wanting to fulfill Xuanyuan Yu and Gu Ruoxi, but at this moment, she would be bitten back by Xuanyuan Yu, and her intestines were blue!

"Oh, I see." The Queen Mother heard this. Nodding and saying, "What Bacheng Yu'er said is true, he just received a notice from Concubine Jing and then came here, Your Majesty." You better not blame Yu'er. ”

"How is this possible?" When the emperor heard this, he immediately snorted coldly and said: "Even if he received the notice, but this is the concubine's dormitory, why did he, a prince, break in so arrogantly?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Concubine Jing and asked, "Concubine Jing, did you invite him in?" ”

"It wasn't the concubine who invited him in!" Concubine Jing easily got this opportunity to wash her white, how could she miss it? repeatedly argued: "The third prince overturned several palace people in the palace of the concubines before breaking in!" Ask the emperor to be the master of the concubines! ”

"Concubine Jing Niangniang, do you not exist as this king?" Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, and without waiting for Xuanyuan Yu to speak, he said in a cold tone: "After the third prince came, he happened to meet this king in front of the palace gate, and it was this king who told her, Concubine Jing, you have done so many things to Xi'er. It's also the king who let him come in and collect evidence! Otherwise, the people in your palace will dispose of the incense burner that has been knocked over on the ground, the gauze clothes that have been taken off, and the embroidery needles, so what will this king use to prove that what he said is true? ”

"That's true!" Xuanyuan Yu saw that Xuanyuan Jingxi actually excused himself, and his mood was a little complicated, but he nodded and said, "That's right!" Father, the evidence of what the Seventh Emperor Uncle said is here! With that, Xuanyuan Yu beckoned to the outside of the hall, and immediately a guard came in with a bag of things.

Xuanyuan Yu reached out and took the package, untied it in front of everyone, revealing the gauze inside, embroidery needles, and the broken incense burner and ashes in a separate cloth bag.

As soon as the thing was opened, a sweet and greasy smell spread faintly in the air.

It's all there. It's exactly the same as what Xuanyuan Jingxi said.

The emperor's face immediately sank, and he waved his hand to order these things to be placed aside, without saying a word. Claw blood.

The Queen Mother said slowly on the side: "Emperor, now the matter is clear, right?" What are you going to do with Concubine Jing? ”

She didn't tear the emperor's fig leaf in front of her, so as not to provoke the emperor's anger, otherwise everyone would suffer.

Concubine Jing has been a scapegoat from the beginning, and now, no one can save her.

Concubine Jing herself understood this, she knelt on the ground and sobbed silently, but she couldn't say a word.

When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then raised his eyes to look at Jing Concubine, and saw that her eyes were completely dead and gray. There was a trace of unbearability in his heart.

This woman, in the final analysis, although she is very selfish, but in the end she did what he told her, if you put aside the branches that grew later.

But it has come to this point, it is no longer a pity, he has to find someone to bear all this!

The Emperor secretly made up his mind, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a deep sigh.

He raised his head suddenly, and saw that Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't know when, he had already stepped forward, reached out and picked up the gauze and embroidery needle placed aside, and muttered in his mouth: "Fortunately, I have carefully examined it, and I don't know if this needle is quenched?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother was immediately startled and hurriedly shouted: "Jing'er! Come here! Don't touch those needles! Beware of poisoning! ”

"That needle is not poisonous!" The Jing Concubine on the side couldn't help but shout.

Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately glanced back at her and said with a smile:
