"What a misunderstanding. The son of this palace is stupid and can't speak, especially in front of a beautiful girl, he is easy to be nervous, clumsy and clumsy, and he doesn't know if he offends the girl. When the atmosphere was a little stiff, a delicate laugh suddenly broke out in the hall, which came from the mouth of the imperial concubine sitting on the side.

The imperial concubine Jiang family, who is from the same family as Emperor Yonghe's mother, can be regarded as the cousin of Emperor Yonghe's childhood sweetheart, and has been favored since she entered the palace.

Today's imperial concubine is a few years younger than Pei Jinji's impression, she wears a honey-colored vase peony pattern gown, with a slender waist and limbs, snowy skin, and a smile without saying a word, compared to the queen's dignified and luxurious, but more delicate and delicate like a flower, but there is no lack of grace, such a woman, even if Pei Jinzhen is a woman, she can't help but shine, let alone a man.

Only Emperor Yonghe is not an ordinary man, the imperial concubine can be favored forever, and she must also be a means, Pei Jinzhen never dares to despise it.

As the imperial concubine spoke, she stepped forward, took Pei Jinzhen's hand without any indifference, and said with a smile, "This palace also heard that you returned to the Jifu Hall that night soaking wet, and I know that you are a girl's family, and there are some things that you dare not say or can't say." But you see, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are here, if you really suffer any grievances, there is nothing to be afraid of, say it out loud, are you still afraid that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not call the shots for you? ”

As he spoke, he patted the back of her hand gently.

Pei Jinzhen's eyebrows and eyes suddenly raised, and he could collide with the deep eyes of the imperial concubine.

In an instant, I understood.

The imperial concubine was hinting to her that as long as she could be a witness for Xiao Qi and help him clear his suspicions, then for her, the benefits would be numerous. No matter what kind of "grievances" she suffers, someone will make decisions for her.

But how could she, as a witness, be so good? What's more, there is also a preface that the imperial concubine specially said, soaked through. This is to blackmail her innocence, and it is also to imply that she is gambling with her innocence to prove Xiao Qi's innocence.

The imperial concubine is really a good skill! In a short period of time, the pros and cons have been weighed, and the decision has been made. The lesser of two evils is actually in front of Emperor Yonghe and the Empress, so openly and openly allowing her benefits. Even if she wants to take the opportunity to tie herself to Xiao Qi together and ask for the position of a concubine of King Mu's mansion, I'm afraid it's not difficult, right?

It's tempting.

If you are someone else, you may really have to take a gamble. However, it was she who met her, Pei Jinzhen.

In this life, the last thing she wants is to have a little bit of involvement with Xiao Qi.

In the flash of light, Pei Jinzhen had already made a decision, and gently broke away from the imperial concubine's grip, and she knelt on the ground, "The courtiers do have grievances, and please ask Your Majesty, the queen, and the imperial concubine to be the masters of the courtiers." ”

Looking at the girl kneeling down in front of her, the corners of the imperial concubine's mouth pulled slightly, as if she was proud or disdainful.

This smile only lasted for a moment.

"Just now, the courtiers did hide some of the inside information of that night. As the imperial concubine said, the courtiers were indeed soaked back to the Jifu Palace, but it was because the courtiers accidentally soiled their skirts that night, afraid of losing face, and felt a little cold, so they asked the maids to take the cloak and wait in the same place. Because I was afraid that the maid would not find me when she returned, I did not dare to walk away half a step, but I was pushed into the river by someone. ”

Pei Jinzhen's words were amazing, the imperial concubine and Xiao Qi were both shocked to raise their eyes, and the queen let out a startled "huh" in her throat, even Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but sit up straight, and a pair of elite eyes stared at her.

"If it weren't for God's protection, the courtiers would have to confess to the royal river. That person was only afraid that he had the intention of harming the courtiers, but the courtiers entered the palace for the first time, which was really a disaster. The courtiers were timid and didn't dare to make a noise, so they had to hide it, and even the personal maid did not tell it. Now, since His Majesty, the two mothers, and His Royal Highness King Mu have personally inquired about the events of that night, presumably, there is really something to do with it. The courtiers are courageous, and ask Your Majesty and the two mothers to be the masters of the courtiers. As he spoke, he knocked his head heavily and touched his forehead to the ground.

Inside the hall, there was a sudden silence.

Emperor Yonghe turned his fingers on the white jade wrench for a slight pause, squinted his eyes and said, "You said, you fell into the water, but you were pushed down, so ...... Have you ever seen the face of the murderer? ”

Pei Jinzhen shook his head gently, "He is a hand from behind, and the courtiers have never seen it clearly." When I entered the water, I was also panicked, and I only vaguely saw a black shadow standing by the river...... But I didn't see it clearly. ”

Man? That night, there was a banquet in the palace, there were many men, and there were guards from the forbidden army, besides, there were hundreds of chamberlains in the palace, and those who seemed to be "men" on the surface.

"Since you were pushed into the water, and you say, that man has the intention of harming you, how did you escape? You...... Will water? Emperor Yonghe squinted and stared at her firmly.

Pei Jinzhen knelt there, but her heart was tight, what she said just now was true, but when she came to this place, if she told the truth, Yan Chong would inevitably be involved, but if she wanted to hide it...... was stared at by Emperor Yonghe, even if Pei Jinzhen lived again, he thought that he was quite bold, but in an instant, he was sweating through the back of his clothes and feeling cold.

"The courtiers know how to water, frightened, they have to pretend to be drowning, the perpetrator has been standing by the river and watching, probably to confirm that the courtiers don't know water, and the struggle is only drowning, so he left the ......"

"And after that? And then you got up on your own? Emperor Yonghe asked again, chasing after him.

"I ......" Pei Jinzhen opened his mouth, his lips were a little wooden, if he opened his mouth, it would be a crime of deception.

"I saved her." When he was struggling left and right, Yan Chong's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, and instead of Su Ri's careless lazy tone, he showed two points of eagerness, and as soon as the words fell, others had already strode in from outside the door, and behind them, they were followed by the guards guarding the door.

When he entered the door, he knelt down and asked for sin, "The second son must come in, and he can't stop him." ”

Emperor Yonghe frowned and looked at Yan Chong, raised his hand and waved, this kid's lawlessness is not a matter of a day or two, on weekdays, he is not so ignorant of the rules, but he insists on coming in, where can these guards stop it, they don't dare to stop it.

The guard stepped back as quickly as he was relieved.

Emperor Yonghe's gaze fell on Yan Chong like electricity, and his eyebrows tightened.

Yan Chong entered the door, and her eyes swept towards Pei Jinji, who was kneeling on the ground, and she just happened to look up at him, looking at each other, as if carrying a thousand words.

After making sure that she was fine, Yan Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his hand and arched his hand towards Emperor Yonghe, "Uncle Huang, that night, I drank a lot of wine at the banquet, and some of the alcohol was on my head, so I left the banquet and dispersed. ”
