The queen knows that the current situation is very unfavorable for her, whether it is playing the emotional card, coercion or temptation, at least she has to get someone on her side.

But Concubine Xian had already been disappointed in her, not to mention that the emperor had promised to help her, so naturally the emperor's words were more credible than that.

"Niangniang is the master of the harem, how to die is really meaningless, it's better to recruit as soon as possible, so maybe Your Majesty can be lenient."

"You!" The queen was going crazy, but after all, the emperor was in front of her, and she couldn't do anything.

"Your Majesty, you must not listen to their one-sided words, they just covet my harem position, that's why they frame me like this, Your Majesty, you must believe me!"

In order to express her sense of tragedy, the queen wanted to fall down and directly hug Zhanqing's legs, but he took a step back in disgust to avoid it, and the queen could only lie on the ground in embarrassment.

Zhan Qing pursed his lips with some ill will, and said to the queen with a smile.

"It's not impossible for me to give you a chance, you all let me out, but she left me behind."

Zhan Qing pointed out, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mei Xiang, a little palace maid beside the queen, she was the queen's most trusted palace maid, and everything was entrusted to her to do on weekdays.

The queen seemed a little weak-hearted, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, so she could only glare at Mei Xiang before leaving, warning her not to talk nonsense.

In fact, before coming over, just in case, she had already explained to Mei Xiang, not to mention the situation at Mei Xiang's house, she was clear, this little girl didn't dare to betray her, so she was slightly relieved when she thought about it.

In the hall, as soon as the ladies left, Mei Xiang's whole person began to tremble, and the whole person was about to lie on the ground.

"Mei Xiang, if I'm not mistaken, the queen trusts you very much, and she will leave everything to you to do."

Zhan Qing's faint opening, the invisible pressure made Mei Xiang a little breathless, but she still replied in a trembling whisper.

"The queen has been ordered not to go out, so that means that you must be the one who spreads the news."

Zhan Qing's words changed sharply, and he used a direct affirmative sentence, not asking at all, he was just affirming the answer in his heart.

Mei Xiang's whole person trembled like sifting chaff, but even so, she still gritted her teeth and shook her head, "The queen mother has been staying in the palace and has not spread any news, Your Majesty must have made a mistake." ”

This little palace maid's persistence until now has surprised Zhan Qing a little, but his patience has almost been exhausted.

"I advise you to tell the truth, I know that you are afraid that the queen will threaten the lives of your family, but why do you think I didn't bring them out, whether they will live or die in the future, it depends on how you answer."

Why did everyone threaten her with her family, Mei Xiang once felt particularly broken, but there was nowhere to beg for mercy, besides, the emperor in front of him now, and the other was still the queen, she obviously just wanted to be a palace maid to earn some money, why did these people treat her like this!

"Your Majesty, I beg you to let go of the slave maid, the slave and maid really don't know anything, the queen mother has always kept to herself, she will not do that kind of thing, I beg your majesty to believe in the queen mother."

After all, in the face of the emperor's threat, she was still more afraid of the queen, because when she first entered the palace, the queen had already monitored her parents, just to prevent her from betraying her, and now His Majesty went to say that her parents had been taken away by him, how could she believe it?

Zhan Qing, as an emperor, now even a little palace maid dared not listen to his orders, which made him very annoyed, and when he thought of Xu Xiangjin's aggrieved appearance, he directly lost his mind, grabbed Mei Xiang's neck, and pressed her to the ground.

"Don't think I'm joking with you, my patience is almost exhausted, let alone you and your family, even the queen and I can take her life at any time, who do you think she can protect? As someone who could betray her at any moment, do you think she will keep you? Or let me put it another way, do you want to die now, or do you want to die in a few days? ”

When Mei Xiang saw the emperor for the first time, she was so frightened that she even forgot to cry, she could only keep panting and breathing, and she didn't even dare to struggle.

She is actually not afraid of death, but she still has elderly parents and young brothers at home, and she doesn't want them to be implicated because of herself, so she won't be blind to death.

Seeing the emperor's already reddened eyes, she knew that she couldn't hide it, so she could only use a somewhat hoarse voice to soften, "Your Majesty, I said, I said!" ”

As soon as Zhan Qing sent his hand away, Mei Xiang immediately ran to a slightly farther place, breathing desperately, and when she was almost breathing a little easier, she lowered her head deeply and told the story.

"It's true that the queen asked me to do everything, because she was afraid of being exposed, so she asked me to find Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian knew that Concubine Ling hated Miss Xu, and knew that she had some means, so I went to find her, Your Majesty should be very clear about the rest of the matter, Your Majesty, I have said everything that should be said, the slave maid is really desperate, but my family is innocent, and please let them go."

"Don't worry, they have left the queen's surveillance, and you don't have to be threatened by the queen in the future, after the matter is clarified, I will let you go out of the palace and reunite with your family."

Zhan Qing did take Mei Xiang's family from the queen's surveillance to another place, although he threatened her parents, but he never thought that he really wanted to hurt them, not to mention, he had already got what he wanted now.

He asked Yan Kang to bring the confession that had been prepared a long time ago, and asked Mei Xiang to draw a charge on it.

The queen outside was afraid that Mei Xiang would say something unfavorable to her, so she walked around in a hurry, with a panic on her face that she couldn't hide.

"Didn't the queen mother say that she didn't do anything, then why is she so weak now, or did you lie in front of Your Majesty just now, afraid that your little palace maid would shake out all your affairs."

Concubine Ling asked her to rub her knees while sneering at the queen.

"I'm still the queen now, you little concubine even dares to sneer at me, when this matter is over, don't think about your life in the harem in the future."

The two of them have been fighting for so many years, and Concubine Ling doesn't know how many times she has been threatened by the queen, and now she is still alive and well, so she naturally doesn't take her words to heart.

"Even if you want to deal with me, you have to keep your position as queen all the time!"

Concubine Ling poked the queen's sore spot with a sharp shot, and the queen was already a little impatient, and she was not in the mood to continue arguing with her, so she watched the movement in the door wholeheartedly.

Soon Yan Kang walked out, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't see any flaws at all, and the queen knew that there was no news from his mouth, so she could only walk in again according to the emperor's instructions.

"Your Majesty, now that you know that I was wronged, I just said that I didn't do anything."

The queen glanced at Mei Xiang and saw that there was nothing unusual in her expression, thinking that she had not said anything, and suddenly felt a little proud.

Zhan Qing directly threw the confession in his hand at the queen's feet, "You take a closer look at what is written on it, and then follow me here." ”

The queen suddenly had an ominous premonition, trembled and picked up the confession on the ground, and was so shocked that she almost sat on the ground with weak legs.

"Mei Xiang, in vain I am usually so good to you, you dare to slander me now, I don't think you want to live, right?"

"I think you just don't want to live, do you?"

Zhan Qing returned what the queen said to her as it was, "As the master of this harem, you should have set an example and maintained the peace of this harem, but you never thought that you would be so jealous, with a small belly and chicken intestines, and you will be revenged, and you will use lynching indiscriminately while I am away, so many crimes have been added, what qualifications do you have to sit in this position?" ”

After all, when she got to the back seat, the queen's face suddenly turned pale, and she sat on the ground with a little empty eyes, but she still wanted to make the last struggle.

"Your Majesty, I'm all for you, since that woman came to the palace, you didn't even go to the harem, do you know what the outside world is spreading about you, saying that Your Majesty was fascinated by a fox in the harem, I can't watch Your Majesty make mistakes again and again, so I can only take risks."

She said so righteously, but it made Zhan Qing laugh.

"I have to thank you for saying this, why don't I know that there is such messy news in the outside world, queen, don't think that I don't know what you did before, I just tolerated you again and again, but you don't know how to make inches of progress, you have long lost the qualifications to be the queen, you don't deserve this queen!"

Yes, Zhan Qing has already said it categorically to this point, the queen is completely desperate, but her anger has nowhere to vent, she really glanced at Mei Xiang fiercely, and blamed all the sins on her.

Mei Xiang was trembling and kneeling slightly, but she couldn't help but observe the direction of the queen, but she didn't expect to meet her eyes, she was so frightened that when everyone focused on the queen, she used all her strength to rush to the pillar next to her, and her head was bleeding on the spot, which shocked everyone.

"Your Majesty, I know that I have sinned unforgivingly, but my family is innocent, and I am now using my life to pay for all the sins I have done, and I only ask Your Majesty to spare my family."

Obviously, she didn't relentless at all when she hit her, her mouth was bleeding out while talking, and her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and when she knew that she was dead, her eyes were staring at the queen, as if she was threatening her not to attack her family.

Mei Xiang's death was unexpected by everyone, how could Zhan Qing not expect this little palace maid to be so strong?
