That's right, the person who came was the second-class meritorious girl of Chongren Palace, Xiaowan.

She rushed in with her head covered like crazy, shouting "There are ghosts" mixed with some words of "don't look for me, it has nothing to do with me". The palace maids and eunuchs who were chasing her behind her also followed, panting and looking very embarrassed.

Qiao Sui stepped forward and scolded: "What's the matter with you? ”

In the group of people who ran in, it was a middle-aged grandmother who came forward to speak, she hurriedly knelt down and panted and said: "Tell all the ladies and daughters, Xiaowan, this girl is crazy, her strength is too great, and the slaves and maids can't control it, so she got out." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Xiao Wan, this girl was petite, and although her face was full of mud and stains at this time, she also showed a trace of paleness; And the heavy dark circles under the eyes are about to faint from ink, which is obviously caused by lack of sleep.

She burrowed under the table next to her, cowering and muttering to herself.

Yi Xiangxiang looked up at those five big and three rough grandmothers, as well as a few palace maids and eunuchs who were flexible at a glance, so many people really couldn't control a palace maid? Obvious jokes.

Qiao Sui frowned when he heard this: "Don't bring people down quickly, so as not to disturb the masters of the palaces!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maids and eunuchs who were arresting people got up one after another to pull Xiaowan, but they were stopped by a clear voice.

Pei Yuchen heard Qiao Sui's words and looked at Xiao Wan, who was muttering to herself, and saw the palace maids rushing over to arrest her, so he hurriedly said, "Don't, isn't this little palace maid the one who passed the word?" How can you bring it down, just make it clear! ”

When she stopped her, she still stood up, and her excited appearance was clear at a glance.

Eh, fooled! Regarding Pei Yuchen's impulsiveness, Yi Xiangxiang could only complain in her heart that she still couldn't hold her breath.

Not to mention anything else, Lin Zhimeng asked Xiaowan to come up at this time, the purpose was to let everyone see that she was really crazy. Because if Xiaowan is sober, the queen she preaches is assassinated by Concubine Lin, and it can be reversed into a false accusation. But if she's crazy, a madman, how credible can she be?

When Yi Xiangxiang was looking for someone to pretend to be a ghost and scary, she actually just wanted to drive her speech and torture Lin Zhimeng. She didn't really want to use the assassination to do anything to Lin Zhimeng, after all, she really didn't die, if Lin Zhimeng was punished heavily, she would return to the palace in the future, and public opinion would think that Lin Zhimeng was wronged.

So she just did something to annoy Lin Zhimeng, after all, she didn't have any reason to let Lin Zhimeng live a stable life now.

But I was unexpected, I didn't expect to really scare the crazy one. The belief of the ancients in the theory of ghosts and gods was beyond her surprise, in fact, when she knew that a second-class palace maid in Chongren Palace was frightened crazy, Yi Xiangxiang felt more or less guilty in her heart.

But the matter has come to this, and she has no other way but to see if she can turn around and let the evil spirit cure Xiaowan well.

Pei Yuchen left Xiaowan's words, which really made Lin Zhimeng seize the opportunity: "What he concubine said is just a madman, what useful words can you ask?" Could it be that Concubine He wants to convict the concubine of this palace for murdering the queen based on the words of a madman? You're naïve! ”

She spoke in such a strong tone that everyone held their breath.

Pei Yuchen rarely saw Lin Zhimeng so resolute, and he was a little sluggish for a while.

Seeing this, Kang Ling opened his mouth: "No matter what is going on with this palace maid, after all, she is a member of your Chongren Palace, and Concubine Lin should give an explanation for this." Otherwise...... Although this palace has no authority over you, but you and I are above, but there are still queen mothers! It's really not good, Lin Guifei will go to Cining Palace and Ci'an Palace with the palace! ”

"Concubine Kang Guifei doesn't need to move out of the Queen Mother to press the palace, the palace is not afraid of the palace! This palace will tell you today, and this palace will not go anywhere today. Lin Zhimeng strongly fought back against Kangling's strength.

For Kangling's repeated provocations, Lin Zhimeng was really angry! She had no intention of being an enemy of Kang Ling, because she understood that Zhao Ziqian would not let Kang Ling be the queen, after all, there was already a queen mother surnamed Kang in the harem.

Therefore, Lin Zhimeng originally disdained to fight with Kang Ling, and let her everywhere on weekdays, because she didn't understand why Kang Ling was targeting herself all the time.

Lin Zhixin rarely saw her cousin, who had always been gentle, so domineering, so she hurriedly agreed: "Sister is right, we won't go anywhere!" Hand over? It's just a crazy palace maid in the palace, what is there to explain? Concubine Kang, when you killed Li Jieyu, didn't you explain it to everyone? ”

The case of Li Jieyu's death also involved Lin Zhimeng for a time. Later, although Hu Jieyu was guilty of the crime, some people in the palace still suspected that the real culprit was either Lin Guifei or Kang Guifei.

The second room sent Lin Zhixin in for the future of her room, but many of the things in the palace were instructed by Lin Zhimeng, because of Li Jieyu's death, and Lin Zhixin also knew that Kang Ling was the one who did it.

The dragon has reverse scales, and now for Kang Ling, the fact that she killed Lin Jieyu at the beginning was her reverse scale.

Because of this incident, the little friendship that cousin Zhao Ziqian had for her disappeared. Although she followed her aunt to burn incense and worship the Buddha in Ci'an Palace, what she did was irreparable.

That's why she hates Lin Zhimeng even more, because she is so good at pretending, why can someone as bad as her still maintain a good reputation? She wants to destroy her, and if she wants to die, everyone will die together.

Kang Ling walked up to Lin Zhixin, raised his hand and gave her a slap: "What qualifications do you have to talk to this palace?" ”

Lin Zhixin was slapped directly to the ground, and she was just about to get up to speak, when Zheng Li'er who walked over was kicked down again: "Slut, shut up!" ”

From verbal attacks to violence, Yi Xiangxiang expressed some fear of this.

Lin Zhimeng's face was very ugly, and the people who beat her in her palace, Kang Ling didn't save her face at all.

"What does Concubine Kang want?" Lin Zhimeng asked coldly.

Although Kang Ling was so excited that he hit Lin Zhixin, he was still sober: "I didn't think about it, it's just about the queen, and Lin Guifei always has to give everyone an explanation." ”

Lin Zhimeng got up from her main seat, walked up to Kang Ling step by step, stared at her eyes and said, "This palace doesn't know that Concubine Kang has such a deep friendship with the queen!" It's just that a little palace maid is crazy and talks nonsense, and she asked you to explain it in person? ”

"What Lin Guifei said, everyone is sisters, who doesn't have a deep relationship with whom? If it was you, Concubine Lin, who was assassinated today, this palace would also ask for justice for you. Kang Ling put away the sharpness just now, and said to Lin Zhimeng with a smile.

Lin Zhimeng also smiled.

She is really beautiful, with peony makeup on her delicate jade face, and her originally beautiful face has faded from the immature youth to show a trace of charm.

She was wearing a golden robe today, with a faint gauze on the inside, and a light blue soft gauze gently held around her waist; A black hair is curled into a chic flying cloud bun with a purple magnolia hairpin. Standing in front of the noble Kang Ling, she was not suppressed in temperament, but was unique and beautiful.

"If you want to explain, this palace will give you an explanation!" She stretched out her hand and waved her sleeves back, turned around and sat down on her main seat, and said to Qiaosui who was lower, "Let Xiangqiao bring people in!" ”

Qiao Sui heard the words, and then went out of the main hall.

Kang Ling and Zheng Li'er exchanged glances when they saw this, and then returned to their places and sat down. Lin Zhimeng sent someone to help Lin Zhixin, who still wanted to lose her temper, but she glared at her before sitting down peacefully.

After a while, many palace maids and eunuchs entered the palace.

Xiangqiao replied: "Niangniang, these are the palace maids who heard the cry in front, the slave maid has already inquired, the cry is the voice of a woman, which usually appears at midnight, and most of the time it is hovering near the side hall. ”

"The latter are the fathers-in-law who are responsible for guarding the side hall, and they take turns to guard the side hall every day, but they have never heard a cry."

Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue felt surprised when she heard this: "This is really a strange thing, the palace maids who are far away have heard it, but the eunuchs who are close have not heard it?" ”

Lin Zhimeng rolled up her sleeves and said, "Isn't it strange, because of this inexplicable cry, there is a saying that Chongren Palace is haunted." Don't wait, bring someone in! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw two grandmothers walking up with two palace maids pressing.

Xiangqiao is still the one who explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the two little palace maids in front of you are named Ping'er and Liu'er, and they are the same second-class palace maids of Chongren Palace as Xiaowan, and they are responsible for some flower and grass tending and sprinkling affairs......"

Lin Zhimeng stretched out her hand and interrupted Xiangqiao's words: "You two talk about it yourself, what's going on." ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and then turned their eyes to look at Ping'er and Liu'er who were kneeling and trembling on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiangqiao spoke again: "Don't hurry up, Niangniang is kind, as long as you confess and tell the truth leniently, you can get a light sentence." ”

So the palace maid called Ping'er, as a representative, intermittently explained the so-called incident.

According to Ping'er, it is rumored in the palace that Lin Zhimeng, the concubine of the noble concubine, will ascend to the back seat, and the first-class palace maids around her can be added to eight in the future.

Xiaowan and Ping'er said that although Lin Guifei is simple, but now that Lin Guifei has four palace maids, even if she means it, she will definitely mention two. Among the second-class palace maids, she and Ping'er have the best chance, and she told Ping'er to be on duty these days to have the possibility of being selected.

But as for Ping'er, she told Xiaowan's words to Liu'er, who was good friends with her, and the latter didn't like Xiaowan, so she persuaded Ping'er to pretend to be a ghost to scare Xiaowan, making her lose her manners, and thus being disgusted by the concubine.

Ping'er kowtowed violently: "Niangniang spare her life, today it was Liu Er who scared Xiaowan in the side hall, and she ran out of shape and talked nonsense!" These things from beginning to end are all Liu'er's ideas, and all the ideas are from Liu'er! ”

"Niangniang, the slave really didn't know that Xiao Wan was so intimidated, and she was scared crazy like this!" Liu Er explained, and kowtowed repeatedly.

If it weren't for Yi Xiangxiang knowing that Xiaowan was actually frightened crazy by the person she arranged, she would have really believed the words of Hio'er and Liu'er in front of her.

I have to say that Lin Zhimeng really has the means, not only found the scapegoat in such a short time, but also made up the lie so true. If this matter is discussed in detail, if only Ping'er or Liu'er is the only one who tells the story and lies, he will definitely be caught. Now the two admit together that although the risk factor is high, the credibility is also high.

Yi Xiangxiang lowered her head and thought about it, and then asked, "Then why do you harm people in the name of the queen's mother?" ”

Ping'er and Liu'er were stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiang Qiao hurriedly added: "Xu is Concubine An's prayer at Concubine Kang's birthday banquet before, which made these villains take advantage of the loophole. ”

Ping'er and Liu'er are very good-natured and say yes.

Yi Xiangxiang smiled: "So, or mine?" ”

Lin Zhimeng smiled when she heard this: "Xiangqiao didn't mean to blame An Concubine, it is said that An Concubine accidentally fell into the water, and this palace also has to bear some responsibility, and this palace will compensate you here." ”

Yi Xiangxiang and Lin Zhimeng knew the twists and turns of the sunset water incident, and outsiders heard that Lin Zhimeng had pushed An Concubine by mistake, but the grievances were very clear to the two of them.

"Concubine Lin is polite, you said that you missed, where do you blame the concubine! However, the theory of blessing does exist, Lin Guifei Niangniang, don't be true! Yi Xiangxiang replied with a grin.

Lin Zhimeng was still gentle: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, this palace is not worried." ”

She drank tea as she spoke.

Yi Xiangxiang's words reminded Pei Yuchen, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked the kneeling Ping'er and Liu'er: "If it's just to scare this little palace maid, why do you have to engage in such a big battle?" Not to mention anything else, I heard that the vase is cracked at the end of the end, what is going on? ”

Pei Yuchen didn't believe that the two palace maids could have such ability. Besides, even if there were, they wouldn't dare to scare the masters when they gathered, right? This is counterintuitive.

Apparently, the crowd also found the problem.

Su Jingxiang followed Pei Yuchen's words and said, "Yes, I heard that Concubine Li was in a hurry when she passed by Chongren Palace? Is it because of the plum that fell off overnight at the gate of Chongren Palace? What can't be explained here? ”

Zheng Lier obviously didn't expect to be named, and hurriedly said: "Huh? No, this concubine didn't care. ”

Lin Zhimeng didn't expect that Su Jingxiang, who had always been deaf to things outside the window, would also say something about her mistakes, and she was a little suspicious. Could it be that Su Jingxiang also decided to stand on the side of Concubine Liu Fangfei because of her friendship with the queen? She thought like this, forgetting to forget about her concubine.

This person is more tricky than Yi Xiangxiang! Lin Zhimeng thought so.

Kang Ling also frowned after hearing Zheng Lier's words: "You don't know what you did yourself?" ”

Zheng Lier was aggrieved: "But things went faster, and I really didn't pay attention to anything about Lamei." The people below spread falsehoods, and the concubines had no choice. ”

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, because Zheng Lier is standing in Kangling, even if there is nothing at this time, it stands to reason that something should be made up! Yi Xiangxiang felt a little strange, but she couldn't say what was wrong.

Lin Zhimeng put down the teacup and said to Pei Yuchen and Su Jingxiang: "The vase is cracked, and it was the palace that accidentally fell over by leaning on the table." The plum blossoms fell, and it was the palace maids who served that they didn't know how to serve, so the flowers fell...... It's a bit inappropriate for the two of you to be so aggressive, right? ”

When she said that the vase was knocked down by her, all the concubines of Chongren Palace flashed their eyes, but they didn't say anything. The impulsive Tian Yao originally wanted to answer due to inertia, but was held down by Hongyu behind him.

When it comes to this, there is actually nothing to talk about, Kang Ling was the first to get up: "Since Lin Guifei has given such a satisfactory explanation, then this matter can be regarded as settled!" She turned to look at Ping'er and Liu'er: "These two palace maids have no one in their eyes, and they are also causing panic, pull them out and kill them with a cane!" ”

Ping'er and Liu'er panicked when they heard this, they all looked at Xiangqiao, and then looked at Lin Zhimeng: "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life!" The two of them kowtowed again.

Lin Zhimeng also got up, she said to Kang Ling: "This is not to worry about Concubine Kang, the people in the palace have made a mistake, and the palace will deal with it." ”

Kang Ling smiled warmly: "Sister Lin is polite, they have served you so much, I am also worried that you can't bear to be punished, so I want to help." ”

Lin Zhimeng didn't accept this kind intention: "Sister Laokang bothered, but I think they don't sin to death, go back and teach them well, and they will definitely be able to be people again." ”

Her words made Kang Ling's voice suddenly sharp: "Sister Lin, isn't she telling a joke?" If this is just a matter in your palace, forget it, now the sisters and sisters of the entire imperial city are gathered here because of their pranks, playing with the master, it is not such a simple matter! ”

If it's just the little palace maid's own petty trouble, it would be okay, now everyone has been affected, and even the ghost theory has caused panic for a while, since Ping'er and Liu'er have taken on this responsibility, it is not so easy to be fine.

Ping'er and Liu'er were even more panicked when they heard this, and when Xiangqiao asked them to take the blame, they famously said that Lin Guifei would keep them safe. But looking at it now, it seems that it is difficult to get out of it.

The two of them glanced at each other, both seeing hesitation in each other's gazes.

Xiangqiao was worried that Ping'er and Liu'er wouldn't be able to bear it, so she hurriedly said to Kang Ling: "Kang Guifei Niangniang, Ping'er and Liu'er have no credit and hard work, and I hope that Kang Guifei Niangniang will open the net!" ”

"Laughing to death, it's not hard work for the palace! Why does this palace want to open the net? Kang Ling said sarcastically.

Seeing this, Lin Zhimeng gently apologized: "Let the sisters run away today, it's not mine, I will definitely bring gifts to the palaces to accompany the sins in person another day, and today I also ask everyone to look at my face and let these two ignorant ones go." ”

Her words were echoed by many people, but obviously, the people on Kangling's side completely looked at Kangling's attitude.

Kang Ling did not give in: "The Holy Lord asked you and me to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the harem on behalf of the queen, Lin Guifei should not show favoritism, otherwise we will not be able to do things well in the future!" Today's events, they must be severely punished, or they will attract criticism and gossip! She snorted coldly, and without waiting for Lin Zhimeng to speak again, she shouted at the grandmother behind her: "What are you waiting for, pull people down and kill them with a cane!" ”

Dare to act in front of her, okay, I can't cure your master, I can't cure you? Kang Ling thought to himself.

Yi Xiangxiang sighed when she saw this, the women in the imperial city, life and death are never up to her.

She turned and left Chongren Palace.
