"Slander?" The concubine chuckled, "The queen mother has buttoned me up with a big hat." ”

As she spoke, she walked slowly to the queen, clasped her hands on her chest, and looked contemptuous, "Then does the queen know what kind of crime it is to murder the children of courtiers?" In particular, this courtier was the emperor's most powerful general, the general Lu Da who repelled the barbarians. ”

The concubine set her eyes on the emperor, seemingly asking the queen, but in fact she was using this matter to persecute the emperor.

Lu Li is the general of the mighty Donglan and even the surrounding small countries, his unborn child was framed by the queen, if Lu Li comes back in the future and learns about this, even if he doesn't care much about it, he will inevitably be unhappy in his heart.

At that time, Lu Li still has prestige in the army, and if he has bad thoughts because of this, and thus does something that is not conducive to the imperial power, the emperor is afraid that he will regret it.

The concubine can still think of this, how could the emperor not know that his face really sank after the concubine finished speaking, and his eyes were not as calm as they were.

"Queen, what do you think this matter ......" The emperor looked sideways at the queen, and his words were full of temptation.

Although the queen's face was not wavering, but her heart was really cold, if she hadn't noticed the abnormality early today, I am afraid that she would have fallen into the trap of the concubine, she thought that at least the emperor would believe in herself, but now it seems that the other party was deceived by the concubine and became suspicious of herself.

However, the more this is the case, the more she has to prove that she did not do it and prove that she was wronged.

The queen got up slowly, walked slowly to the stage, looked directly at the emperor without fear, and her calm voice carried loneliness and sadness that could not be ignored, "Your Majesty, the concubine has shared the bed with you for more than 20 years, don't you even refuse to give your concubine such a little trust?" What kind of person is the concubine, you know best, today it is clear that someone is deliberately framing her! ”

"I only look at the evidence." The emperor was unmoved.

The queen sneered and pointed her finger at the concubine, "What about her?" Where is her evidence, and what evidence does she have to prove that I did it? ”

The emperor's face became more and more ugly, he looked at the queen fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "If you are innocent, you can come up with evidence to prove your innocence." ”

"If it is really the concubine who deliberately framed the concubine, how will the emperor deal with it?" The queen did not let go of her step by step, and the kindness and gentleness of the past no longer existed, which made all the concubines in the audience jump in shock.

Especially Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu, who were standing on the same line with the queen in the past, looked at the queen tightly, and couldn't wait to rush forward to make her come to her senses.

Now that the emperor is bewitched by the concubine, and even more suspicious of the queen, if she is a little more radical at this time, she is afraid that the emperor will be angry on the spot, and she will not even give the queen a chance to refute!

"If I blame you for my mistake, then I will naturally punish the villain who instigated it."

The concubines who were originally nervous were surprised in their hearts, and their eyes widened, and the emperor actually responded!

The queen got the answer she wanted, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, as if this was something that should be taken for granted, neither thanksgiving, nor the high-minded ostentation and threat like a concubine.

She just ordered in a deep voice: "Sango, go and invite Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Lu." ”

The emperor who was sitting on the throne frowned, and the concubine subconsciously looked at Concubine De, with panic and weakness in her eyes that could not be concealed.

A moment later, Xia Wanrou and Su Xiaoman walked in together, they first saluted respectfully, and sat down after being given a seat, Xiaoman always looked at the queen, waiting for each other's instructions.

Seeing that everything was ready, the queen coughed lightly and told the story of the day in its entirety.

"Someone deliberately broke the glazed ornaments that the emperor gave to his concubines, and deliberately made the palace misunderstand that this was done by Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Lu, because there is no evidence, even if she can't bear it in her heart, the concubine just asked a few words, and she didn't criticize her too much, and she didn't feel that things were abnormal."

Until, the concubine took everyone to the plum garden to enjoy the flowers, during which the concubine kept instigating the relationship between the concubine and Mrs. Lu, and wanted to make the concubine angry by praising and complimenting Mrs. Lu. As the mother of a country, how can a concubine be such a heartless person? By this time, the concubine was already suspicious of the concubine. ”

Speaking of this, the queen looked at the concubine with a torch in her eyes, so that the other party had to block the queen's sight by drinking tea. The emperor was high, and naturally saw this small action of the concubine clearly.

The queen continued: "Mrs. Lu is pregnant, and the concubine is afraid that the concubine will be unfavorable to Mrs. Lu, so she wants to let the other party go back to rest, but when Mrs. Lu went back, she was deliberately tripped and fell on the hard road. ”

"You... You keep saying that someone deliberately trips her, so what proof do you have?! The concubine shouted unconvinced.

"I have to ask Mrs. Lu to explain it herself." The queen responded without hurry.

Su Xiaoman swallowed her saliva, looked sideways at Xia Wanrou again, and after getting a reassuring firm look, she took a deep breath, got up and saluted the emperor, and then told the queen what she told the queen again.

When talking about the person wearing pink satin shoes, the concubine suddenly sneered, as if she had heard some joke, and the emperor coughed lightly in displeasure, which suppressed the concubine.

Fortunately, Xiao Man was not affected by the concubine, she finished the whole thing without hurrying, and then said: "The concubine knows that there are many ladies in this harem who wear pink satin shoes, so I am not here to correct anyone, but to want the emperor to explain that this matter is indeed not an accident." ”

As soon as the words fell, the concubine laughed again, "What evidence do I think I have, it turns out that this is just the case." ”

As she spoke, she twisted her waist and walked towards the emperor, coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you heard Mrs. Lu's words, isn't this exactly the same as what the concubine said before, this doesn't prove that this matter was not done by the queen's mother!" You're right? ”

"If the concubines remember correctly, all the concubines present today. My wife is wearing auspicious clothes, right? The queen raised her eyes to look at the emperor, with a bit of firmness that could not be refused: "Everyone's shoes are black, how can there be pink satin shoes?" Your Majesty, the concubines asked all the concubines to take up their skirts, so that they could see who was wearing the powder-forged shoes! ”

"Nonsense!" The concubine hurriedly argued, and the thick makeup didn't cover her flushed face, "What kind of system is it in this public?" No way! This is a no-no! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor coughed lightly, "If the concubine thinks it is inappropriate, then let the concubine go to the back, and the Su family or aunt will look at it one by one, as long as you can find out the person who really framed the Su family." ”

Without waiting for the concubine to speak, the queen bowed and preemptively settled the matter, "The emperor is sage." ”

The matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way for Rao is concubine to be reluctant.

The concubines got up and walked to the back room, and their aunts and Su Xiaoman looked over one by one, until they looked at everyone and couldn't find a pair of pink satin shoes.

When she heard her aunt's reply, the concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and her face began to flamboyate again, she leaned lazily on the cushion, pointed her finger at Su Xiaoman, and said casually: "Maybe Mrs. Lu is dazzled and I don't know, queen, you still can't prove that you are wronged." ”

The queen was a little confused, according to this method, it is impossible not to find the person who really framed Xiaoman?

"Your Majesty, the concubines dare to say a word." Xiao Man suddenly stood up and said.

The emperor waved his hand, "But it's okay to say it." ”

Xiao Man curtsied, as a thank you for the emperor's grace, she glanced at all the concubines present, and immediately said categorically: "The concubines and aunts have checked the shoes of fifteen ladies and nobles, but the concubines have just counted them and found that there are a total of sixteen concubines present. ”

After speaking, Xiao Man lowered his head, "The concubine implores, check again." ”

"Bold! Do you know who is here, and you say that if you check again, you will check again? What, do you use this palace and the concubines present as monkeys?! Saying that, the concubine looked at the emperor, suddenly changed her tone, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, look at her, she is annoyed to death if she is doing this thing over and over again." ”

The queen replied indifferently: "Guifei Niangniang, you are obstructing in every way, but you want to protect the person who framed Mrs. Lu's child?" ”

"You! Don't spew blood! The concubine was annoyed and angry, "Queen, the matter hasn't been-"

"Check again." The emperor interrupted the concubine's words in a deep voice, without giving the other party the slightest meaning, he majestically glanced at the people in the hall, "I am here today to watch, to see who is weak in heart and dares to escape this inspection!" Check it out to me! ”

The interrupted concubine sat down with her eyebrows twisted, and grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, anxious and angry, and a little flustered.

What if it is really discovered?

With the emperor's order, my aunt and Su Xiaoman went to the back room again, and the concubines walked in one by one, and then walked out one by one.

There was no movement for a long time, the faces of the concubine and the queen were a little anxious, the emperor's face became darker and darker, and the thin lips were tightly pursed together, the atmosphere in the room became more serious and tense, and only the sound of gentle footsteps could be heard quietly.

"Pink shoes!"

There was a sudden scream from the back room, and the concubine's expression changed, and she couldn't sit still, but she was soon frightened away by the emperor's majestic eyes, so she had to sit down again.

After a while, my aunt came out and knelt down to say: "Back to the emperor, the servants and Mrs. Lu checked together, and found that among the sixteen concubines present, only Concubine De's shoes were pink, exactly the same as the one Mrs. Lu had seen before. ”

"Bang!"

The emperor got up, and there was irrepressible anger in his voice, "What about Concubine De?" Get out of here and see me! ”
