Xiao Man did fall into a crooked fetal position because of an accident before, but now he actually fell inexplicably, although God blessed, but such a thing is too strange, Xia Wanrou always felt that the other party was lying to herself.

"Mrs. Wei, the imperial doctor has already diagnosed it, don't worry about it anymore." Pearl persuaded: "Madame, this is a blessing in disguise, probably God can't bear to see Madame being bullied." ”

"Sister Wanrou, don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Man also echoed the persuasion.

Xia Wanrou rubbed her eyes and raised her lips to smile, "Okay, since it is a diagnosis by the imperial doctor, it must not be wrong." ”

I don't know when, the wind and snow suddenly blew outside the window, and the goose feather snow fell with the cold wind, covering the entire palace with a thick layer of white, the sky was getting dark, and the palace was at the moment of the lantern.

The eunuchs who bowed down were scattered to various palaces with large and small food boxes, the palace where Xiao Man was located was a relative's, and it was the closest to the queen's Yichun Palace, Xia Wanrou was full of anxiety at the beginning, and she didn't pay attention when she ran over.

It wasn't until the queen came to visit with a team of palace maids and eunuchs that Xia Wanrou hurriedly got up from Xiaoman's bed and respectfully saluted the queen.

"No need." The queen raised her hand, and then went to Xiaoman's side, full of kindness: "Mrs. Lu feels better?" Do you want to order the imperial doctor to come in and check the pulse? ”

Xiao Man waved his hand again and again, "Thank you for the queen's kindness, the concubine is fine, you are worried." ”

When Xiaoman just woke up before, there were the emperor and concubines from all walks of life, although the queen and the concubine also made a statement, but because of the emperor's presence, they didn't ask more, and many things were not explained.

Presumably, the queen is here for this.

In the plum garden, after all, the road was cleared early, and even if the snow fell later, Xiaoman had pearls to support him at that time, and he would not wrestle on the flat bottom no matter what.

As Xiao Man guessed, after the queen asked a few questions, she changed her words: "Mrs. Lu, this time, this palace wants to ask you, when you fell, did you find anything unusual?" ”

Xia Wanrou frowned, is the queen's move to help Xiaoman find out the truth, or is it to deal with the concubine?

She was worried that Xiao Man would be involved in this struggle, so she hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Xiao Man's gesture.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Man blinked her eyes, as if she was recalling the situation at the time, she frowned and thought for a while, during which the queen kept staring at Xiao Man, her phoenix eyes were full of waiting anxiety, but she couldn't see any other emotions.

Xia Wanrou lowered her eyes and thought secretly: Could it be that the queen really has nothing to do with this matter?

"That's right!" Xiao Manhu raised his head suddenly, his bright eyes met the phoenix eyes, and he said very earnestly: "I remember that someone tripped me at that time!" I remembered that the road was very clean at that time, at least on the way to Nuan Ge, there was nothing flat and neat, but just when Sister Wanrou told me to be careful, as soon as I looked up, I suddenly felt that there was something under my feet, but before I could react, I had already tripped over. ”

What happened in the past half day was really tortuous, and Xiaoman was even more worried that he would stray into the dispute between the queen and her, so he hesitated for a moment under the pretense of memory.

It wasn't until she saw that the queen was really anxious that she decided to tell the situation word for word, Xiao Man thought: Since the queen is so anxious about the truth of the matter, it must not be her person's doing, right?

"Really?!" The queen stood up suddenly, adding a little urgency, "Then can you see who the person who tripped you is?!" ”

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, "At that time, I was looking up at Sister Wanrou, and when I looked at the ground again, I already had unbearable abdominal pain, and I only vaguely saw a pair of pink satin palace shoes to dodge, and I didn't see anything else." ”

There are so many concubines in the palace who wear pink shoes, and it is too hasty to judge the murderer by only one pair of shoes.

Xiao Man thought that things were at an impasse, but the queen didn't think so, her eyes were full of anger at this time, the queen looked at Xiao Man, and said without refusing: "I also ask Mrs. Lu to help me correct it, so as to prove my innocence!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou were surprised.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Xiaoman is already safe, so... Forget about it. ”

It's not that she doesn't care about Xiao Man's safety, and it's not that she has no hatred for that murderer, it's just that Xia Wanrou really doesn't want Xiao Man to participate in this kind of struggle without an end, and the battle in the harem shouldn't involve others.

Xiaoman is pure-minded, in case she is used or hated by someone with a heart because of this, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Mrs. Wei!" The queen suddenly shouted in a deep voice, not angry and arrogant: "This palace knows that you have a great relationship with Mrs. Lu, and it is right that you don't want her to participate in the palace fight, but now that Mrs. Lu has been used, don't you want to avenge her?!" ”

Xia Wanrou stubbornly gritted her teeth and knelt down, lowered her head and said firmly: "Xiaoman is simple-minded, and the concubine doesn't want her to make enemies because of this matter." ”

The queen's eyes widened, and her finger pointed straight at Xia Wanrou, "You dare to disobey the orders of this palace?!" ”

"It's not that the concubine is disobedient, she's just telling the concubine herself." Xiaoman's stubbornness seemed to be contagious to Xia Wanrou, although she lowered her head at this time, she clenched her teeth, and looked like she was fighting to the end, which really angered the queen.

Xiao Man on the bed looked at the silent confrontation between the two in a daze, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Listening to the queen's meaning, it seems that someone is using this matter to slander the queen, although this harem battle has nothing to do with her, but how can Xiaoman watch others being wronged for no reason.

Therefore, when the confrontation between the queen and Xia Wanrou became more and more tense, a timid female voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Otherwise, I will go and help the queen clarify it?" ”

Xia Wanrou, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Xiao Man suddenly, her eyes were full of shock and puzzlement, "Xiao Man." You ......"

"That's great!" The queen was one step ahead of her, she hooked the corners of her lips at this time, and Fang Cai's angry face had long since ceased to exist, "Come on, change Mrs. Lu's clothes immediately." ”

The queen turned around and looked down at Xia Wanrou condescendingly, with a smile of unknown meaning on her face, "Mrs. Wei, if you want to survive in this Shangjing, you can't have the mentality of calming things down." This palace knows that you are for the good of Mrs. Lu, but you must know that if you don't take the opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop at this time, the enemy will only recuperate and act again when he is strong and strong. ”

"Thank you, Queen, for teaching." Xia Wanrou said reluctantly.

The queen naturally knew it, but it was important to prove her innocence at the moment, so she didn't say much, just waited for Xiaoman to get dressed, and then led everyone straight to the concubine's Yixiang Pavilion.

At this time, the concubines who participated in the plum banquet all gathered in the Yixiang Pavilion, the emperor was also there, and the concubines were accompanied by them, which looked lively and lively, but they didn't know that this was just the calm on the sea, and no one knew what kind of waves were hidden at the bottom of the sea.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

As the sharp voice of the eunuch fell, the curtain of the main hall of the Yixiang Pavilion was opened, and the graceful queen walked in with a faint smile.

The concubine who originally occupied that position was interested, not only was she not angry, but she also had a little excitement before the opening of the show.

The emperor on the throne coughed lightly and looked at the concubine, "Concubine, now that everyone has arrived, you can always start talking." ”

"Back to the emperor, what the concubine wants to say is related to Mrs. Lu." The concubine got up, saluted with a rare dignity, and said, "The reason why Mrs. Lu fell this time is not an accident, but man-made!" ”

After speaking, the concubine deliberately fell her gaze on the queen without taboo, and its meaning is known to everyone.

The emperor frowned, "Go on." ”

"Everyone knows that the queen mother wants to hold a plum banquet is three months ago to decide, although a few days ago every day of wind and snow, but as early as yesterday it was completely clear, the plum garden for the queen mother's plum banquet, but also early to clean the plum garden road."

"The road in the plum garden is clean and clean, and it won't cause people to fall at all, and there is no problem when our group walks over, but when Mrs. Lu is walking back, she suddenly falls, isn't it strange? And Mrs. Lu is pregnant, if she is weak, I am afraid that the child will be lost directly. However, fortunately, Mrs. Lu is in good health, but the person who did this must not be tolerated. ”

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Liang in the hall snorted lightly, "At that time, the wind was blowing, and the snow on the plum blossoms fell, and Mrs. Lu accidentally stepped on it before she slipped, which is also known." Why did the concubine insist that this matter was man-made? ”

Hearing this, the concubine couldn't help but raise a smug smile, this good concubine was really heartfelt to the queen, and seeing that the development of things was not good for the queen, she immediately stood up and spoke. As everyone knows, this will only make it easier for the queen to fall into a disadvantageous situation.

How could the queen not know, so she hurriedly spoke: "Concubine Liang, wait for the concubine to finish." ”

Concubine Liang snorted in a low voice angrily, but she finally stopped talking.

The emperor, who was silently watching a few people arguing, coughed lowly, "Concubine, since you said that this matter was man-made, can you come up with evidence to prove who did it?" ”

"It's the Queen!" The concubine looked straight at the queen, pressing step by step: "The queen's glass ornaments were broken, and the queen suspected that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wei did it, but at that time, it was not good for everyone to be present, so she took advantage of the time to enjoy the plum blossoms to frame Mrs. Lu!" ”

In the face of such accusations, the emperor, the concubines, and everyone's eyes were focused on the queen, but she was still as calm as ever, and even had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Her expression was faint, and her voice was as calm as water, "Concubine, do you know what a crime it is to slander the mother of the country?" ”
