The atmosphere changes suddenly, people's hearts are chaotic, and there seems to be an anxiety of ants.

Liu Li's face was calm, and he walked in a few steps, his eyes were not squinting, and his aura was high, and he calmed down the scene.

Everyone knelt down, and the hall was full of flowers, but Liu Li's eyes did not spread from Xue Ze at all. Fortunately, she was fine, otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm.

In the crowd, he could see Yukisawa at a glance, and he wouldn't look elsewhere. There is a familiarity, as natural as habit, that is always looking at her at first sight!

Liu Li walked quickly to the center, only to see that Lianzi was still wiping Xue Ze's clothes, and at her feet were fragments of a teacup.

The debris lay in the steaming tea, and a painful centipede struggled in the water, crawling over and over at one moment......

"Beloved concubine!" The emperor did not call the queen mother, but walked directly to Xue Ze's side and looked at her with concern. "Are you alright? What's going on?"

"No... It's okay!"

Lianzi knelt down and said nervously: "Your Majesty, it's all because the slave and maid were careless, and they didn't notice that centipedes were mixed in the tea! Otherwise, someone will kill you!"

"Who's doing the bastard?"

This angry question, even Xue Ze was shocked, she shook involuntarily, it seemed that she had never seen Liu Li say dirty words so angrily.

"Concubine Ai, don't be afraid!" Liu Li grabbed Xue Ze's face, covered her face, and whispered: "Don't look at them, you will be much more comfortable!"

The Queen Mother stood up and looked at the concubines kneeling together in disbelief and anger.

"The tea in the mourning palace has always been clean, what's going on? In the winter, why did a centipede come out? Are you here to ask for peace or are you harmful?"

The Queen Mother rushed before Liu Li and checked the people in the hall one by one, her eyes were so sharp that she seemed to be contaminated with Liu Li's excitement and pity.

"The queen mother and the emperor are angry, and the concubines have no intention of murdering Xue Concubine!"

"The concubine will never dare to offend the snow concubine!"

Everyone expressed their attitudes one by one, although they were frightened but frank, after all, they really didn't think about harming Xue Concubine. Regarding Zuiyue Xuan, everyone is afraid that they can't avoid it, how can they dare to reach out to design?

In this way, Concubine Xian is so embarrassed that she seems to be the only one who is the most suspicious here.

The Queen Mother also looked at the frightened Concubine Xian, full of looks of scrutiny and scrutiny. "Concubine Xian, do you have anything to say?"

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you saw that the concubine didn't bring anything! Passing by the Imperial Garden, the concubine just thought about bringing the concubine Xue to ask for peace, and didn't think about anything else!" Concubine Xian said, looked at the emperor again, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, you have to believe in the concubine!"

Xue Ze was a little embarrassed, and he still had some doubts in his heart: What the hell is going on? The centipede was not brought by Concubine Xian, and the Queen Mother didn't help her speak... Luckily, I came out early, otherwise wouldn't this game be cold?

"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't!" Concubine Xian was angry and annoyed, her eyes turned to Xue Ze in Liu Li's arms, and said with jealousy: "Concubine Xue, I have been with you all the time, have I ever provoked any centipedes?

Yukisawa was stunned for a moment and nodded. "You don't!"

"That's right, you prove my innocence!"

Liu Li glared at Concubine Xian, and her eyes stopped her in place. "Concubine Xian, that's enough. Xue Concubine has already spoken for you, what else do you want?"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian frowned, a little sad.

"Concubine Ai, don't be afraid, I will definitely find out!" Liu Li looked at the centipede on the ground, deliberately raised his eyebrows at Xue Ze, and whispered in her ear: "Fortunately, I kept an eye on it and declared to the public that you are most afraid of centipedes, otherwise someone with a heart may scare you with the things you are most afraid of!"

Xue Ze was startled, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice, "Concubine... The concubines are also afraid of this!"

Lianzi looked up at the Queen Mother's complicated expression, lowered her head and smiled, and quietly cast a spell to lure the centipede over.

"Master, the centipede is here!"

Xue Ze was stunned for a moment, and took two steps back in panic. Liu Li simply hugged Xue Ze directly.

"Queen Mother, this incident happened in your palace, so I will leave it to you to deal with! Xue Concubine has just recovered from a serious illness, and the imperial doctor said that she can't stand the fright, so the retainer will take her back first!"

"The emperor can rest assured, the queen mother will take care of it!" The queen mother smiled slightly, watched Liu Li go away, and then asked people to clean up the things on the ground.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet, and the Queen Mother seemed to be able to hear the sound of centipedes crawling in the cup, but she couldn't feel the sound of everyone's breathing.

"Do you all have something to say?"

The Queen Mother obviously showed displeasure and broke the last glimmer of hope for Concubine Xian, this was not that the Queen Mother deliberately embarrassed Concubine Xue, but a game set up for Concubine Xian.

"Queen Mother, the concubines all go together, only Concubine Xian deliberately went to pull Xue Concubine over! We can all testify to each other, and we definitely didn't let Xue Concubine be frightened!" Tang Guiren said.

"Yes, Concubine Xue is being favored now, how dare we bully her like this?" said Tang Ruren.

"Exactly, the concubines are also afraid of centipedes, even if they eat leopard gall, I will never use this method!" Qian Cainu said.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian and asked coldly, "Concubine Xian, could it be you?"

"The Queen Mother is aware that the concubine just wants Concubine Xue to come to ask for peace, and the others will definitely not dare to do it!"

"Yes, do you dare to do it, don't you have a bottom in your heart?" The Queen Mother smiled playfully, stared at Concubine Xian and said: "Even if we don't guess that it's you, the emperor suspects you the most, right? In the winter, who will know where the centipede is hiding? Only you often turn over the soil and plant in the palace, and you have been jealous of the snow concubine for a long time, and the records of the likes and dislikes of the concubine are all kept by you...... Isn't that the heart of a passerby?"

When Concubine Xian heard this, she was shocked and frightened, and knelt down in fear. "Queen Mother, please believe in the concubine! If the concubine wants to do it, she will never dare to be in front of the Queen Mother, let alone be so clear. The emperor came up so coincidentally, and all the doubts were piled up on the concubines, this is really a great grievance!"

"Okay, what you said makes some sense! If you want to frighten Xue Concubine, why bother so much?" The Queen Mother smiled, called everyone up, and said gently: "The women of the harem are more normal, but don't be too stupid. Today's matter, the mourning family will carefully check it again, you all go back first!"

After everyone left, Concubine Xian calmed down. The Queen Mother sat there calmly, seemingly unaffected in the slightest.

Concubine Xian remembered every word that the Queen Mother said just now, and she was puzzled and disgusted in her heart, what did the Queen Mother want to do?

"Concubine Xian!" The Queen Mother saw Concubine Xian's thoughts, and said calmly: "Don't think that the Mourning family didn't help you! The Mourning family just wants you to see clearly, what is the situation in this harem, and what should we do!"

"The concubine is stupid, please make it clear to the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother smiled softly and showed the centipede to Concubine Xian. "If the mourning family continues to investigate, everyone will find out that this centipede is indeed from your palace, and the person who committed the crime is your trusted subordinate, what do you think will be the consequences?"

Concubine Xian looked at the Queen Mother in horror and was speechless in a daze.

"Why, you don't believe me?"

"Queen Mother, what's going on? Could it be that someone in this palace wants to harm me?"

"Do you think that everyone will harm the most favored one first?" the Queen Mother smiled contemptuously at Concubine Xian, "This harem is not as simple as you think, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable! When you are unrelenting in harming others, others will also take the opportunity to search for your shortcomings and find opportunities to take advantage of." If you bring down Xue Concubine, you will be pulled down immediately, and if you don't succeed, you will still be next! Harem concubines, how can they be of the same heart?"

Concubine Xian was extremely suspicious, she couldn't believe that she was so close to the cold palace and death, and at the same time she had a sense of fear for everyone in the harem, and the queen mother gave her a sense of security inexplicably.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you must help me! Those harem villains don't have me to understand your mind, let alone help you do things, I... I can also bring many benefits!"

"If the mourning family doesn't help you, will you still stand here?" The Queen Mother smiled gently, "Concubine Xian, the mourning family just wants to tell you through this incident that people's hearts are unpredictable and things are impermanent, if you want to stand tall, you must learn to judge the situation and size up the situation! Now, everyone knows that you can't touch Xue Concubine, and you still have to be stubborn, doesn't this bring danger to yourself?"

Concubine Xian suddenly realized and nodded again and again. "Those people are very good to Xue Concubine, and the emperor is never embarrassed, but I ......"

"That's exactly it!" The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, no more, and secretly rejoiced in her heart: Haven't you been trapped by me? What if you are the head of the Six Palaces? It is ridiculous that you are so stupid and dare to say that you understand my mind! If you don't touch Xue Concubine, if you don't listen, I will rely on her to pull the emperor down! Indulging in beauty is the most in line with my thoughts!

"Queen Mother, I know what to do! I won't mess with Xue Concubine in the future, I just have to do what I have to do!"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, you must know that the most important thing in the royal family is power! You have a good family background, and you are the only concubine, as long as you stabilize the situation, you are the one who goes the farthest! The king is amorous, you can't be blinded by jealousy, you must learn to be patient! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!"

"Yes, follow the instructions of the Queen Mother!"

Concubine Xian soothed a little, and said nothing at will. "The Queen Mother is my role model, I will keep my position, even if I am not liked by the emperor, I will become his only queen! I heard that the Queen Mother was also squeezed by the favored concubines back then, but they all endured it one by one, the situation is even worse than mine, no wonder you can understand these harem disputes! When I think of you, I will be cautious again and again, and I will no longer be rash!"

The Queen Mother smiled coldly, and her heart was indignant: What a fool, which pot can't be opened! Can you compare with me? My situation is indeed worse than yours, and my intelligence is not comparable to you. No matter how good you do, you can't surpass me, I dare to kill the king and seek a husband, do you dare?
