Chapter Forty-Three: The Devil Eats the Evil Fruit

Although Han Yue and Zi Mo were separated by Sun Yuwei's thoughts, because Han Yue had already taken precautions in her heart, she kept secretly paying attention to what was happening here while walking, and when she turned around, she happened to witness this complete scene.

What a mishap! Hanyue thought to herself. It's just that the development of this matter is a little different from what she thought, she originally thought that Sun Yuwei summoned Liu Yuanzhi to the edge of the Taiye Pool to be unfavorable to Liu Yuanzhi, but she never thought that it was a bitter plan.

After Sun Yuwei fell into the water, Han Yue took Zi Mo back to Liu Yuanzhi's side. For this sudden everything, although she had been mentally prepared, Liu Yuanzhi's heart was still a little flustered. Han Yue stepped forward and shook Liu Yuanzhi's hand, feeling the temperature from the palm of Han Yue's hand, Liu Yuanzhi's heart settled down slightly. The three of them watched all this with cold eyes, as if they were just bystanders, as if what was happening in front of them had nothing to do with them.

Sun Yuwei, who was rescued ashore, had a pale face, her hair was scattered, and she had already fainted. Everyone hurriedly carried Sun Yuwei back to Ninghui Hall and passed on the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. This incident naturally alarmed the emperor and empress, and many concubines also rushed to hear the news, but among these concubines, some were friends with Liu Yuanzhi, and some came to watch the play.

When the imperial physician came out of the eastern room, the emperor asked, "Imperial Physician Zhang, how is Sun Baolin?" "The imperial doctor said," Back to the emperor, Sun Baolin choked on some water when he fell into the water, and he was frightened, but nothing else is serious. Weichen had already prescribed a convulsive decoction for Baolin to take, and it would be good to rest for a while. ”

After the imperial doctor went down, Yanfu cried and knelt down in front of the emperor and queen and said, "Please ask the emperor and the queen to be the master of my family." ”

The emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's going on, explain it to me one by one." ”

Yanfu wiped her tears and said, "Back to the emperor, this morning, the little master and Liu Cairen made an appointment to see the Lingxiao flowers by the Taiye Pool, halfway through, the little master found that he had lost his handkerchief, so he sent the slaves and maids to look for it, how do ......you know" Yanfu said and cried again, "How do you know, not long after the slave and maid walked away, I heard the little master suddenly shout, 'Sister, why are you pushing me', and when the slave and maid ran back to see, the little master had already fallen into the water." ”

After Yanfu finished speaking, she turned to Liu Yuanzhi and said indignantly, "Liu Cairen, my little master has had some misunderstandings with you, but yesterday the little master has already brought a gift to sincerely apologize to you, why did you go back on your word and even kill the little master?" ”

The surrounding concubines have different expressions at the moment, some are worried, some are disdainful, and some are distraudent. Ruan Mingting, Qu Zhixu and Yun Yuya all had extremely worried expressions on their faces, but because their positions were too low, they had no room to speak, so they had to be anxious on the sidelines.

Concubine Yan Shu sat on the side, gently shaking the Bai Juan gold peony flower fan in her hand and listening to Yan Fu's reply, which was graceful and luxurious. At this moment, she said quietly, "Liu Cairen, it is said that knowing people knows faces but not hearts, this palace finally saw it today, I didn't expect you to be such a ruthless person." ”

Although after this period of getting along, Liu Yuanzhi's gentleness and kindness left a very good impression on the emperor, and the emperor looked at Liu Yuanzhi's appearance, and he didn't feel that she seemed to be a person who had done such a vicious thing, but Yanfu's words still made the emperor suspicious.

The emperor turned to look at Liu Yuanzhi with a somewhat suspicious expression. Seeing the emperor's expression, Han Yue couldn't help sneering in her heart, she was not only laughing at Yanfu's words that reversed black and white, but also laughing at the emperor's suspicion.

Liu Yuanzhi's innocent trapping, the initiator's cowardly posture and weakness, the emotional crying of the so-called human witness, and the husband's suspicion...... Han Yue's expression was indifferent, how much this scene in front of her looked like what happened to her a year ago! It's just that this time, she won't let Liu Yuanzhi repeat her mistakes again! Some people are afraid that they will not be able to do so.

Liu Yuanzhi stepped forward from the side, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine dares to swear to the sky, and the concubine has never pushed Sun Baolin into the water." ”

When Cao Meiren heard this, she said sharply, "Yo, I don't understand what Liu Cairen said, dare to do it but dare not do it?" You haven't pushed Sun Baolin, so how did Sun Baolin fall into the water? Could it be that she jumped on her own? After saying that, he laughed twice.

Liu Yuanzhi was neither humble nor silent, and said unhurriedly, "It was indeed she who jumped down by herself." As soon as Liu Yuanzhi's words came out, the palace was in an uproar. The queen and Shen Zhaoyi frowned slightly, it seemed that they had already thought of something.

Liu Yuanzhi continued, "If I pushed it, why would I do it in front of the public and let so many palace people see it?" ”

Cao Meiren was unconvinced, "So you broke up all the palace people." ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, "Didn't Cao Meiren forget, Yanfu just said that those palace people were sent by Sun Baolin himself to find the handkerchief." ”

At this moment, Shen Zhaoyi suddenly said for no reason, "Fortunately, Sun Baolin brought two servants who know how to water with him, otherwise, it would be really dangerous." ”

Shen Zhaoyi's words were really intriguing, and the emperor clearly fell into deep thought. Seeing that this was wrong, Yanfu hurriedly cried again, "Not only the slave maid, but also the palace people behind the slave maid have also seen it, the emperor can ask them if you don't believe it, please ask the emperor to be the master of Baolin." The palace people kneeling behind Yanfu echoed one after another.

"Miss Yanfu, these palace people are all from your Ninghui Palace, is this biased?" Shen Zhaoyi said and looked at the emperor and empress.

The queen thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, what Shen Zhaoyi said is not unreasonable, and now the two sides have their own opinions, maybe there is another hidden secret." Concubine Yan Shu has always been the queen's opponent, and Sun Yuwei is so stupid and arrogant, and she just ran to form a faction with Concubine Yan Shu, so for things that can cut off Concubine Yanshu's wings, the queen is of course willing to add to the fire.

Sun Yuwei had actually woken up a long time ago, and she had been hiding behind the screen and listening to everyone's speech. Hearing this, Sun Yuwei couldn't hold back anymore and rushed out. She stumbled all the way to the emperor, prostrate on the emperor's lap and cried, "Your Majesty, the concubine has just escaped death, and she almost won't see you, please be the master of the concubine." Sun Yuwei was wearing a white bedclothes, crying with a draped hair, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and the tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Seeing Sun Yuwei like this, the queen couldn't help frowning and said seriously, "Sun Baolin, what kind of style do you look like!" ”

"The queen, Sun Baolin is also excusable. Your Majesty, look at it, Sun Baolin's appearance is really pitiful, and the concubines are distressed when they look at it. Concubine Yan Shufei stroked her heart and said, very moved.

Estimating that the time should be almost up, Han Yue looked at Sun Yuwei with a cold expression and said, "Sun Baolin, you should be enough to sing this drama here, right?" When you say such heart-wrenching words, have you forgotten that there are gods in your head? ”

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really the opposite! Your Majesty, look at it, look at it, what arrogance this is! Now even a little maid dares to say that! Not to mention Liu Cairen! It's arrogant to hurt people and be arrogant! Cao Meiren interjected, her eyes wide open, and she looked so shocked that she was about to faint.

When Han Yue heard this, she didn't bother to look at Cao Meiren. She knelt down and said respectfully, "Please forgive the emperor." The slaves and maids are all framed in vain because they can't sit idly by and watch the little master. Your Majesty, you know best what the little master's temperament is, haven't you ever praised the little lord for being gentle and kind, supple and decent? How can the little master, who can't bear to step on an ant on weekdays, do such a thing that hurts people's lives? The maid was brave and begged the emperor to learn from it. ”

Han Yue's expression was extremely sincere, and coupled with these words, the emperor was moved. Liu Yuanzhi is indeed a good woman in the emperor's heart, and Han Yue, as Liu Yuanzhi's maidservant, is not a fault for being loyal to the lord.

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, Sun Yuwei hurriedly looked at Liu Yuanzhi, and cried out bitterly and aggrievedly, "Sister Liu, why did you wronged me? You say I jumped on my own, but can anyone prove it? Sun Yuwei's face was aggrieved, panicked and frightened, like a frightened bird. But Hanyue clearly saw a trace of pride hidden under her expression, and that expression seemed to be sure that Liu Yuanzhi had no one to testify, and she would be speechless in the end.

"Hongu can prove it!" Just when everyone was deadlocked, a soft and cold voice came from the door. When everyone heard the sound, they saw Jin Zhaoyuan, who was dressed in an autumn-scented Tuanfu Ruyi patterned palace costume, slowly walked in with the support of the palace maid.

The emperor, who was originally frowning and deep in thought, was quite surprised and a little surprised when he saw Jin Zhaoyuan, and there seemed to be light in his eyes, "Xiangyi, why are you here?" "The emperor is commensurate with Jin Zhaoyuan's boudoir name in public, rather than by his title, which shows the emperor's love for Jin Zhaoyuan. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, but it disappeared in an instant. However, although this Jin Zhaoyuan won the Sacred Heart, she never competed for favor, and she was always cold to the emperor, so although everyone was jealous, they did not target her.

I would like to Zhaoyuan to salute in front of the emperor and the empress, "The concubines see the emperor and the queen." The concubine heard what was happening here in Yongning Palace, so she rushed here. The emperor motioned for him to be flat. The Emperor said, "You just said you could prove it?" ”

Jin Zhaoyuan said, "Yes, this morning, the concubine happened to bump into that scene when she was walking by the Taiye Pool, and the concubine saw Sun Baolin pour into the lake by herself, and in the process, Liu Cairen never touched Sun Baolin. ”

Sun Yuwei's body stiffened when she heard this, and her expression changed suddenly, "I would like to show you Zhaoyuan Niangniang, why did you want to help Liu Cairen wronged his concubine?" Your Majesty, it's not like this, ask the emperor to learn from it. ”

Jin Zhaoyuan didn't look at Sun Yuwei either, and continued to say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you should know very well the behavior of the concubines, the concubines never interact with people too much, and naturally they will not help anyone. The concubine came this time, but she didn't want to see an innocent person wronged. Jin Zhaoyuan's voice was faint, but it had already indicated everything. Jin Zhaoyuan has been in the palace for many years, and everyone knows him as a person, and the wind direction of the entire hall has changed all of a sudden.

The emperor looked at Sun Yuwei, and there was obvious anger on his face, "Sun Baolin, there is nothing to do, he has been demoted to a royal maid, and he has thought about it in the Ninghui Hall of Changxin Palace." Sun Yuwei's face instantly turned white when she heard this, and she suddenly fell to the ground weakly. For this result, the queen was already expected, in the queen's opinion, from the moment Jin Zhaoyuan stepped into the palace gate, Sun Yuwei was doomed to lose.

After a self-directed and self-staged farce, the emperor and queen left first, and the concubines also left. Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi saluted Jin Zhaoyuan from a distance, and Jin Zhaoyuan smiled slightly, and then turned around and left.
