Chapter 33: Embattled

"Wronged? Since you didn't do anything, why did Lan Xiang stop the search in every possible way? The queen sneered, and as she spoke, her gaze turned to Lan Xiang, who was trembling on the side, "Lan Xiang, this palace will give you a chance, if you confess honestly, there may be a way to live." ”

Under the coercion of the queen's gaze, Lan Xiang suddenly knelt down in panic, and said in an eager voice: "The queen mother spares her life!" All this was done by the master and the slave, and the slave and the maid were just doing what they were told! ”

As soon as Lan Xiang's words came out, Concubine Rong was like being hit by five thunders, her eyes looked at Lan Xiang in a daze, and the person in front of her seemed to have become extremely unfamiliar, "Lan Xiang... What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"Niangniang, although you are very good to the slave maid, but the slave and maid really can't do things without conscience!" Lan Xiang looked frightened, turned around and kowtowed to Concubine Rong, and then said to the queen: "The queen is graceful!" When the Queen Mother was away, because she was not good to the Lord, our Lord was resentful and cursed day and night. After the death of the Queen Mother, the emperor gradually became cold to the Lord, and the Lord was also full of resentment. The slave and maid have persuaded the master many times to want to open more, but she didn't expect that not only did she not listen, but she should intensify it, saying that she must let the queen mother die without peace. ”

"The master threatened the lives of the slave and maid's family, and forced the slave and maid to steal back the magic weapon buried in the mausoleum of the former queen mother for her, and the slave and maid really dare not disobey!"

"Lan Xiang, why did this palace ask you to do this?! Why do you want to slander this palace? ”

Concubine Rong was angry, her hands clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly.

"So far, the slave doesn't dare to deceive the queen! What the slave said is true, and please check it out! ”

"It is a big sin to slander the master as a slave, Lan Xiang is a person in your palace, she will never take such a big risk to frame you for no reason. Concubine Rong, the matter has come to this, do you still refuse to admit it? ”

With Lan Xiang's evidence, the queen's confidence became more sufficient, she raised her arrogant neck and looked at Concubine Rong with contempt.

"The concubine really doesn't know why Lan Xiang said this, but the concubine hasn't done it or not, how dare she admit it?"

"Well, what a hard mouth!" The queen seemed to have expected Concubine Rong's attitude, she clapped her hands and ordered her subordinates, "Concubine Rong steals magic weapons, harbors evil intentions, and is difficult to be tolerated by the palace rules!" Someone came, took her down to the palace, and interrogated her carefully, but the palace didn't believe her and didn't speak! ”

"Queen Mother! Until things are figured out, I'm afraid it's not the right thing for you to do, right? ”

Seeing the queen acting like this, Concubine Xian, who was on the side, finally couldn't help it and refuted it.

"As a queen, this palace naturally has to take on the responsibility of the queen. What to do or not to do, it's not up to you, Concubine Xian, to dictate you. After scolding Concubine Xian a few words, the queen urged her subordinates again, "What are you doing in a daze?" Still hands-on? ”

"Queen Mother! The concubine is really wronged..."

Concubine Rong, who was struggling, was held down by several internal prisoners and forcibly taken away from Suyin Pavilion.

And the queen just glanced at Concubine Xian coldly and walked away.

When Concubine Rong was forcibly taken away by the queen in her palace, King Huai'an was also in Jiangnan to carefully select birthday gifts for her mother.

I heard that there is a different stone in a certain place in the south of the Yangtze River, and its shape is like a seal body of longevity, which means auspicious.

When the king of Huai'an learned about it, he was overjoyed, rushed to Jiangnan for several days, bought this stone at a high price, and sent people to carefully escort it all the way into Beijing.

When King Huai'an returned to Beijing, it had been three full days since Concubine Rong was arrested. When he heard the news, he was anxious and angry, and he couldn't care about anything for a while, so he went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Yun.

"Father, the son never believes that the mother concubine will do such a rebellious thing, someone must be framed!"

In the imperial study, King Huai'an knelt under His Royal Highness, and said in an eager voice.

Emperor Yun, who was on the throne, heard what he said, closed his eyes and gently touched his temples, "I heard what the queen said about your mother's concubine." To be honest, I didn't believe it in my heart at first, but the thing did come out of your mother's bedroom, and her personal maid Lan Xiang also came out to testify, and the human and material evidence was there, so I had to believe it. ”

"Father, the mother must have been wronged! The mother concubine is extremely respectful to you and filial to the imperial grandmother, how could she do such a thing in secret? Please also ask my father to investigate and give my mother a fair hand! ”

"On the surface, it's not necessarily the same behind the scenes. Well, I will give you three days, and if you can find evidence to prove your mother's innocence within three days, I will give her justice, and if not, then I will have to deal with it according to the rules of the palace. ”

"Three days? This..."

"Originally, it stands to reason that I should dispose of her now, and giving her three days is my maximum grace."

"Father!"

"Alright, I'm tired, you can step aside."

King Huai'an walked out of the hall in despair, raised his head to look at the clear sky, and then turned to look at the imperial study, he felt for the first time that under the scorching sun in this clear sky, it would actually feel like an ice cellar.

The heavenly family first monarch and then father and son, it is really not just a sentence.

At this time, Concubine Rong was locked up in a special inner prison in the harem and had been tortured to the point that she could not look good. No matter how those old torturers used torture to ask, Concubine Rong never knew this sentence.

In the palace of King Qin, Yun Lan was packing his bags and preparing to go out on a long trip, when he explained some things to Steward Liu, he suddenly saw Yun Yining running in in a panic, and gave him a big gift as soon as they met.

"Hey, ninth brother, what are you doing here?" Yun Lan was taken aback and hurriedly helped him up.

"Please also ask the fifth brother to think of a way to save my mother!"

"Concubine Rong? What's wrong with her? Don't worry, you speak slowly. ”

Invited King Huai'an into the hall, and after his excitement eased a little, Yun Lan asked about the details of this matter.

"Now the queen insists that it is the concubine who steals the magic weapon and plots against her, and that Lan Xiang is fanning the flames on the side, and the concubine is speechless!"

King Huai'an was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, after all, it was his mother, how could he not feel distressed when he gave birth to him and raised him.

"Don't worry, this matter may be far from that simple." Yun Lan groaned slightly, and then analyzed: "Since Lan Xiang came out to testify, it means that she must have been bribed, and most of the magic weapons in Concubine Rong's bedroom were also secretly put in by her. ”

"The whole thing is a conspiracy against Concubine Rong."

"However, my mother has always been peaceful in the palace, and she has never offended anyone, who is so vicious and wants to harm her like this?"

King Huai'an's fists creaked, and his eyes swelled with anger.

"In this world, there are many people who think differently from ordinary people, and there are naturally all kinds of strange reasons for harming people."

Yun Lan can see this clearly, people's hearts are changeable, today you and him may be very good, maybe tomorrow he will stumble you behind your back because of other interests.
