Originally, since Xu Xiangjin moved to the vicinity of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhan Qing ran to her every afternoon, and on weekdays, Yan Kang would slightly persuade and persuade him to mention the matter of sleeping, but since Xu Xiangjin came out of Yafeng Palace, he didn't even mention it.

And in this case, Zhan Qing summoned Shuang'er alone, although it was nominally a waiter, Shuang'er entered the Heart Cultivation Hall proudly every time, but it was only into the outer room, and she never even opened the curtain inside, every time the so-called waiter's bed, she was ordered to kneel in the distance, so every time she left in the morning, her legs and feet trembled.

Looking at the envious and jealous eyes of others, she really couldn't say it, how could she tell others that she knelt all night.

Although she listened to His Majesty's order anyway, but at the moment, this kind of sleeping was clearly a disguised punishment, which had to make her think of Xu Xiangjin, but she felt a little unwilling, so when she knelt outside again, she couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty treats your concubines like this, why the hell, the concubines can't think of what they have done wrong, obviously Your Majesty was so good to the concubines before, and she has also been promoted to the rank of concubines..."

"Why do you say?" Zhan Qing opened his mouth without being salty, "What do you think you are of any use, you can let me leave you here, Shuang'er, you have to remember that the reason why you can kneel here now and enjoy the glory and wealth is because you still have some use, one day you will always remember that you are Xu Xiangjin's slave, no matter what this identity becomes, you have to bear it, don't lose your sense of proportion in this person's predecessors." ”

Although Shuang'er had already thought of this, now hearing this from the emperor's mouth in person still made her feel like a bolt from the blue, and all her dreams and hopes collapsed in an instant.

"Your Majesty, why, if you want to avenge her, it's a big deal to kill the concubine, but why do you torture the concubine so much..."

Shuang'er burst into tears, but Zhan Qing was unmoved, and even felt that her cry was speechlessly irritable.

"Isn't that what you've always wanted? I'd rather gamble with my own life than what I want to get, I naturally want to satisfy you, but there is a price to be paid for the glory and wealth you do, and since you have inherited this honor now, you must be willing to suffer this sin. ”

Shuang'er is quite an emperor's woman, but she is for pleasure, not for sin, not to mention that all her current glory and wealth are dependent on other women, how can she be willing?

"Your Majesty, how can you love you so much for your concubines and concubines, even to the point of desperation, how can you be so cruel..."

"Don't talk to me about those loves, loves, it sounds disgusting." Zhan Qing cut off her crying mercilessly, "Cherish the days when you have my protection now, if you have no use value and no protection from me, I'm afraid that with the appearance of your original enemy, you should have been folded in the hands of others a long time ago." ”

Zhan Qing's words seemed to answer her doubts for so many days, pretending to love her so much in front of outsiders, but once she left the eyes of those concubines, she immediately seemed to be ruthless as if she was a stranger, no, maybe she was not even as good as a stranger.

She was still a little puzzled why His Majesty was so capricious to herself, but now she can probably hear from his words that it comes from a Xu Xiangjin from beginning to end, which is tantamount to making her hate her even more, why Xu Xiangjin is so ghostly.

"Your Majesty, the reason why you are so cruel to your concubines, do you think it's because Xu Xiangjin, she hates concubines, so you are angry for her, so you do everything possible to torture your concubines..."

When she said this, her whole body was trembling, and her unwillingness and pain were mixed together, making her almost suffocate.

"That's your and her business, I won't interfere too much, this debt, she will naturally come to you to settle it..."Zhan Qing said and paused, and finally put his eyes on Shuang'er again, "Shuang'er, I will ask you again, who instigated the poisoning, as long as you can honestly explain, I will really let you enjoy this glory and wealth." ”

Shuang'er was moved for a moment, but she was more aware of her current situation, so she still bit her mouth and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have already said at the beginning, no one instructed the concubines, everything was done by Xu Xiangjin, she is guilty, Your Majesty should put her back in the cold palace, so as to calm everyone's hearts!"

"Shut up!" Shuang'er really picked on the thunder point, which made Zhan Qing impatient in an instant, "Since you don't want to say, then kneel like this, Yankang, turn off the lights, rest..."

Shuang'er watched Yan Kang pull down the emperor's bed curtain, the emperor inside really lay down, the candles in the room were blown out, and there was always a eunuch standing next to her, as if he didn't need to sleep, staring at her, then she didn't even dare to move, she could only kneel on the cold ground until dawn, and then be helped back.

As soon as Shuang'er went out from the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Queen Yuan walked out of the shadows, her eyes full of jealousy and hatred.

"Shuang'er, this palace has already reminded you to abide by your duty, but you don't know what to do, so don't blame me for being polite!" Saying that, she looked at Liu Er, "Has the cinnabar prepared for you by the palace ready, the Spring Festival banquet is coming soon, and it will come in handy soon..."

"If you go back to your mother, you have already prepared..."

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, meaning in the direction that Shuang'er left...

………

Although Xu Xiangjin is fine now, but Zhan Qing has not stopped investigating for a moment for so long, paper can't contain the fire after all, and he, the emperor, is not done in vain, even if those people do it cleanly, they can always let him catch some clues, and when the year is about to end, he finally has some eyebrows.

At the Spring Festival family banquet, Zhan Qing distributed New Year's gifts to the people below one by one as in previous years, and today happened to be a tribute to the Western Regions for some night pearls, which looked very popular, and Zhan Qing simply sent it as a gift one by one.

Seeing the happy appearance of the people around her receiving the night pearl one by one, Shuang'er also began to look forward to it, so as soon as she received the gift box, she couldn't wait to open it, but after seeing the contents clearly, she instantly changed her face, because it was a box of cinnabar slowly.

"Impossible, how can it be, it must be His Majesty who deliberately scared me, if I am scared, I will be fooled, stay calm, Shuang'er, you must stay calm..."

Frost trembled and clutched the box of cinnabar tightly, so I tried to keep my composure so that others could not see any flaws, but her pale face betrayed her.

Shuang'er's suspicion was too obvious, so Zhan Qing started with her, and sure enough, this investigation made him pull out a lot of things from the roots.

He deliberately went to investigate the hometown of Gao Gonggong and Liu Gonggong, and sure enough, he found that the two of them suddenly became wealthy this year, and after checking the people around him, it was easy to touch the frost in the palace, it turned out that she allocated a large sum of silver to each of them, and wanted to seal it with this.

Originally, Zhan Qing was still thinking about how to warn Shuang'er, but he didn't expect the queen to be one step ahead of him, and sent a box of cinnabar to Shuang'er first, which also saved his effort, so he simply didn't see it.

And it seems that Shuang'er also realized that she had been exposed, and there was nowhere to escape in this palace, so when the banquet was over, she did not leave in a hurry, but was led by Yan Kang to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Shuang'er, you really made me wait, now the shelf has become quite big, can let me wait for you with the emperor, my aunt should be content even if she dies now."

Xu Xiangjin had been waiting in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, and now that he suddenly saw the person who framed him, he couldn't help but have the urge to speak venomously, and made Shuang'er's already somewhat pale face even more red, green, and green, which made Xu Xiangjin a little satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiangjin took out Liu Gonggong's testimony that still had blood stains and threw it in front of Shuang'er, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Father-in-law Liu has already confessed, the reason why he framed me for taking cinnabar that day was actually at your instigation, I didn't expect you to be quite promising, and even thought of threatening people's family members thousands of miles away, it seems that I really underestimated you in the past, and it was indeed a bit overkill to follow me..."

Xu Xiangjin was sarcastic and merciless, so angry that Shuang'er trembled even more.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Gonggong Liu obviously injured his tongue and was dumb when he was tortured in the Shen Criminal Division, he couldn't even speak, how could he say that it was instructed by me, don't lie to me here."

Xu Xiangjin shrugged his shoulders, seemed a little indifferent, picked up the testimony on the ground and shook it, and the whole person half-squatted in front of Shuang'er like a hooligan.

"But how do you know, didn't you say you had nothing to do with it? Then why do you pay attention to Gonggong Liu's affairs, and how will I know how dumb he is! ”

Suddenly, she pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, looked at Frost with an incredible expression, and deliberately trembled and pointed at her.

"You didn't plan to kill people, did you, so you went to the Criminal Division without telling everyone, and found that Gonggong Liu was dumb, so he simply saved his own trouble, but it's a pity to keep those things and not use them, and it's dangerous to hold them yourself, so you just used it on me, didn't you?"

Xu Xiangjin's eyes turned, and he suddenly became gloomy, and the aura around the whole person suddenly became powerful, so frightened that Shuang'er was excited, and he couldn't say anything to defend himself.

Zhan Qing was originally sitting on the side watching Xu Xiangjin get angry, but he slowly found that the interrogation seemed to have fallen into a bottleneck, so he took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and poured another cup.
