"You ......" Concubine Qi's retort before she spoke, and she heard the fourth master say in a deep voice: "Concubine Qi, you are the same." ”

This translates to this: if you don't know the rules and talk nonsense, you can go out.

So, when Concubine Qi came to her mouth, she immediately swallowed it.

She sneered and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines also care about the queen, so they are straightforward." Next, the concubine won't intervene, you just interrogate the minions. ”

Before she was the first to want to slip away.

But now, the show has just begun, how can she be willing to leave.

Besides, what if they poured dirty water on her while she was away!

The fourth master glanced at Concubine Qi coldly, and then his gaze fell on the palace maid in the middle again.

"You keep saying no, but it's a fact that you and Concubine Xi are eye-to-eye. Say, the moon flowers in the queen's quilt were not put by you! ”

"I didn't ...... Your Majesty, there are really no minions, and the minions are all wronged. The palace maid shook her head and said innocently: "The slave was only severely punished by Concubine Xi when he was in Chengqian Palace in the past, resulting in not being able to get out of bed and do errands for several months, so when I saw Concubine Xi, I was scared and didn't dare to look at her, but I couldn't help but look at her secretly." ”

After speaking, she secretly glanced at Concubine Xi again.

That look, as she said, was full of fear for Concubine Xi.

It seems that Concubine Xi is some kind of femme fatale.

This made everyone here curious.

It stands to reason that a concubine punishes a slave, which is commonplace, and it is not an uncommon thing, so as not to scare the palace maid like this.

But what did Concubine Xi do to this palace maid, so that everyone has a shadow.

"What did she do to you?" The fourth master continued to interrogate.

"Concubine Xi, she ......" The palace maid first glanced at Concubine Xi, and then the whole person trembled, and replied: "She saw that the slave had washed her clothes, so she asked the slave to be tied to a tree and whipped, and she was exposed to the sun for three days. ”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone suddenly realized.

I want to say that the palace maid just made a small mistake, just beat it and rush back to the Internal Affairs Office, why torture people so much.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of dead faces and trees are afraid of peeling their skins,

Tie people to trees for people to watch and whip, no wonder the palace maid is afraid to death when she sees Concubine Xi.

And Concubine Xi on the side also showed a weak face after hearing this.

She still knows what she has done herself.

She is indeed very harsh on the minions below.

But that was only in private, but whenever the emperor went to her to see the third elder brother, she showed a gentle and kind appearance of compassion for the slave.

But now, the image she worked so hard to create has all been ruined by this palace maid.

But she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything.

First, the emperor said just now that she can't intervene without permission.

The second reason is that compared with the murder of the queen, her loss of this image is nothing.

After all, it is common for the head of the palace to be the master's punishment slave.

She was a stricter concubine at best.

However, after being silent for a while, she still couldn't hold her breath and said, "Your Majesty, please allow the concubine to say a word." ”

"Say."

"That's the case, the concubines are very generous to their slaves on weekdays. It's just that this palace maid washed a new dress made by the concubine at that time. The concubines have always been thrifty, and the clothes are made of satin rewarded by the emperor, so the concubines cherish them very much, otherwise the concubines would not be so angry. That's why he was upset for a while and punished the minions severely. ”

In order to justify herself, Concubine Xi lied as soon as she opened her mouth.

This made Su Peisheng unbearable, "Concubine Xi, didn't you just say that you don't have any impression of this palace maid, why do you remember it so clearly now." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Xi glared at Su Peisheng fiercely.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: What is the business with you!

However, at this time, the palace maid retorted pitifully: "No, the slave remembers that what was washed at that time was an ordinary undershirt." It's just that at that time, Zhuang Guiren, Yu Guifei, and the queen were diagnosed with pregnancy one after another, and you were not in a good mood and were easily angry. ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Qi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh secretly.

Concubine Xi gritted her teeth and had nothing to refute.

This damn palace maid has made her ugliest side in private public.

It's okay to say that she is a vicious master.

Now these words make it even more obvious that she is a jealous woman, and she can't tolerate others in the harem being pregnant.

In this way, the bad public opinion fell to her again.

Moreover, it seems that not only the queen's affairs are related to her.

Even the matter of Concubine Yu seems to have an inseparable relationship with her.

Knowing this, she wouldn't have defended herself just now.

Perhaps, I won't talk about this yet.

Now I have to adhere to the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, and saying less is better, pretending not to hear anything.

After listening to the palace maid's words, the fourth master didn't say much.

Because it is a common thing for concubines to punish slaves, it does not mean anything.

Plus his focus at the moment is not on this.

That's not what he cares about now.

He only cares that this palace maid is not bad.

Now that it sounds, what this palace maid said seems to be true.

Well, this means that the murderer is someone else.

The next moment, those sharp cold eyes fell on Concubine Wen.

This made Concubine Wen, who was originally relaxed, tremble for no reason.

"Concubine Wen, what are you afraid of?" The man asked in a low voice.

"No ......" Concubine Wen knelt down and said, "The concubine was just frightened by the emperor's fierce eyes. ”

She quickly calmed down, and her voice was still a little shy, as if begging for mercy.

"No, when Shi Caizhen interrogated Concubine Xi and the palace maid, you were visibly relieved. Moreover, you secretly had a secret relationship with another palace maid and fought a dumb riddle for a while. Compared to the palace maid's one-sided peek at Concubine Xi just now, the two of you are looking at each other. ”

After speaking, his gaze suddenly turned to another palace maid.

Su Peisheng followed the fourth master's line of sight and brought the palace maid to the middle.

However, as early as the moment the palace maid was targeted by the fourth master, she was so frightened that her legs and feet were weak and she couldn't walk.

was still put in the middle by a few minions.

For a while, this palace maid's heart was weak, which was in stark contrast to the previous palace maid who was interrogated.

Even Concubine Wen's reaction seemed to be much greater than Concubine Xi's.

It seems to be written all over his face: How is it possible, wasn't he still interrogating Concubine Xi just now?

Why did it happen to her in the blink of an eye?

It hurt her to think that Concubine Xi was going to take the blame, and she could escape it.

Now that he was suddenly named, he was even more panicked and confused.

Especially to the emperor's cold eyes.

It's like putting on a blade that's sharp enough to pierce through all the ice.

Could it be that the emperor found some clues?
