Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at Li Shuyun, who felt a sigh in his heart, and immediately said, "I...... Your Majesty, the concubine was just going out for a stroll, and she accidentally saw this girl standing on the road, sneaky, so the concubine stepped forward to ask. ”

What happened at that time, Li Shuyun had actually said it in front of the Queen Mother, but Nangong Qing was not there at that time, and now there is another Luo Qingluan, who clearly wants to frame her to wash her girl's whitewash, how could she let the stinky girl splash the sewage on herself.

Since being elected to the palace, Li Shuyun has been favored by Nangong Qing like other show girls, and then sealed as a concubine and a concubine, and the dream of favoring the harem. didn't expect that it had been more than half a month since he entered the palace, and Nangong Qing didn't come at all. But every day, there are palace maids who talk in private, saying that His Majesty goes to the queen every day, how the emperor and queen are loving, and she is angry when she listens to it, but she can only restrain her temperament, and she can't express any unwillingness to be angry.

It's not what it used to be.

In the past, Li Shuyun was the granddaughter of Wei Guogong, although the family was declining, her father and several brothers were not too good, and she was at least the daughter of a Guogong Mansion, and there were several good sons around her who were pursuing.

But Li Shuyun's heart is higher than the sky, except for the crown prince Nangong Qing, only Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, makes her heart move.

Nalan Ye naturally didn't dare to think about it, after all, this was a cold king, and she didn't even give the princess face, so Li Shuyun's heart turned to the crown prince Nangong Qing. When Nangong Qing inherited the throne in advance by chance, Li Shuyun became more determined in her feelings, but when she entered the palace, she realized that everything was not as beautiful as she imagined.

When she originally got the title of canonization, Li Shuyun was pleasantly surprised for a few days, after all, she was the only one who was named Baolin, and the rest, even Wen Wan, Zhuang Yulan, etc., were just named talents. Although Baolin is nothing, as long as she is taller than others, Li Shuyun was still happy for a while, fantasizing that one day she would see His Majesty and be thankful, and then take the opportunity to ......

Looking at Nangong Qing's solemn face in front of him, Li Shuyun woke up from the fantasy she had and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, that's the case, at that time, the concubine saw that the girl was not a palace maid, but she was standing there alone, so she wanted to go over and ask, who knows, only to find out later that it was the girl next to Princess Chu." ”

It's not once or twice to deal with Luo Qingluan, although it's not every time it's a head-to-head confrontation, but Li Shuyun is very concerned about Luo Qingluan. Dai Yue often goes out with Luo Qingluan, so if she doesn't know Dai Yue, Li Shuyun doesn't dare to tell this lie.

At this time, Dai Yue nodded: "Yes, at that time, Li Baolin came over to ask the slave what to do, and the slave and maid answered, Li Baolin was curious about what the slave and maid were brought, so he opened the food box......

"I ...... I'm just looking, who, who knows if you're telling a lie? Li Shuyun was a little panicked, although she didn't sit on her hands and feet, but the queen did faint after eating the plum cake in the food box, if she touched the food box, even if she didn't do anything, but who said clearly? Who will believe her?

"Hehe, it turns out that Li Baolin, you still opened the food box?" On the side, Wen Wan sneered: "Then in front of the Queen Mother just now, why didn't you say it?" Could it be that you are a thief with a weak heart, and you think that Princess Chu's girl will definitely die, so you simply don't say it? ”

"I didn't!"

Li Shuyun hatefully waited for Wen Wan's glance, and hurriedly knelt down to Nangong Qing: "Your Majesty, you have to believe the concubine, the concubine really just looked at it and didn't do anything." Besides, the concubine also met her by chance, and she didn't know in advance, how could she have poison on her body at any time? Besides, the concubines don't know these things......"

Listening to her crying and crying, Nangong Qing said in a deep voice: "Okay, I didn't say that you did anything wrong, don't be weak-hearted, what are you panicking about, get up first and then talk." ”

The Queen Mother kept listening, the Buddhist beads in her hand were turning one by one, she didn't speak, and she seemed to be asleep, but she obviously kept paying attention. Luo Qingluan looked at Nangong Qing and didn't ask anything more, only said: "Daiyue, is what Li Baolin said true, did she just look at it and didn't do anything." ”

Li Shuyun looked at Dai Yue all of a sudden, for fear that she would take the opportunity to slander, but Dai Yue nodded: "Yes, Miss, although Li Baolin opened the food box, she only looked at it, and the slave was afraid of falling into the ashes, so she hurriedly covered it." ”

"You're not lying!"

As if she had cleared her innocence, Li Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine felt bored, so she left, turned back halfway, and saw a eunuch leading this girl in the direction of the queen's tassel palace, and the concubine went back." ”

"It seems that the queen's coma really has nothing to do with Li Baolin." Luo Qingluan said lightly.

Li Shuyun was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "Princess Chu still gave me a fair word, thank you." ”

Ignoring her cynicism, Luo Qingluan looked at Nangong Qing, who was deeply frowning, and said, "Your Majesty, if Li Baolin hadn't been to Niangniang again, it should have nothing to do with her." Since Li Baolin is not suspicious, it is better to let her go back to the palace first. ”

The Queen Mother's slightly closed eyes opened suddenly, but she didn't say anything, and slowly lowered them again.

She didn't know why Luo Qingluan wanted Li Baolin to go back, even if she was not suspicious, she didn't need special treatment. However, since she said that she would give Luo Qingluan a chance to investigate, then listen to her, maybe she has some reason.

Li Shuyun's heart was overjoyed, and she obviously saw the jealous gaze of Wen Wan and the others. She also thought that Nangong Qing would hesitate somewhat, after all, Luo Qingluan only asked a few words, if she really had the intention to plant the blame, she would not be so easy to prove her innocence.

But Nangong Qing didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed, Li Shuyun was the first to clear up her grievances, and leaned over and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing in the concubine, the concubine will go back first." After speaking, he left a smug look and glanced at Wen Wan and the others, and retreated.

After a while, Luo Qingluan said again: "Daiyue, you go on, what about the back?" ”

Dai Yue nodded: "Then the slave maid followed Gonggong Liu to the tassel palace of the queen mother, and the maid saw that the slave maid brought plum cake, and she was very happy, and gave the slave maid a seat." I said that this plum cake tasted good, so I asked the slave to bring it to the mother, and the mother said thank you, miss, she just likes to eat sour for a while, thank you. ”

The slave didn't dare to disturb the mother, so she took her leave, just out of the tassel palace, she saw Wen Cai girl coming this way, thinking that she was going to ask the queen to say goodbye, the slave didn't dare to stay longer, and remembered the young lady, so she hurried away, but she didn't expect to go halfway through, and several guards grabbed the slave and maid, and said...... said that something happened to the mother. ”

When Wen Cainu was mentioned, Wen Wan's eyes shrank obviously, and before she could speak, the Queen Mother, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Wen Cainu, you didn't say that to the mourning family just now." ”

With a plop, Wen Wan knelt down directly: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine was scared for a while, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, but the concubine really didn't harm the queen's mother......"

"What the hell is going on, Princess Chu's girl clearly saw you going towards the queen's palace when she left, but why didn't you say it? What the hell have you done, you haven't recruited it from the truth! ”

The Queen Mother was uncharacteristically angry and furious.

Unexpectedly, she interrogated for a long time just now, and she didn't tell the truth one by one, hiding it, did she think she was dizzy? With a turn of her eyes, a touch of coldness flashed, and the Queen Mother exuded a majesty all over her body, and said sternly and coldly: "Your Majesty, the mourning family seems to be too merciful, these people dare to be untruthful in front of the mourning family, I am afraid that they are the ones who assassinate the queen!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only was it gentle, but even the other Zhuang Yulan, Wu Qiao'er, etc., who didn't have their turn, were so frightened that they knelt down: "Your Majesty, there are really no concubines!" Ask Your Majesty to learn from it...... The concubines would never dare to assassinate the queen's mother......"

"Don't worry, the queen mother, fortunately, the queen mother is sober now, there is no big problem, when I ask clearly, I will naturally know who did it. Although it seems that they are not suspicious on the surface, but the courtier's daughter is the most suspicious, after all, the mother ate the pastry sent by the courtier's maid before she fell into a coma, but ......"

Luo Qingluan was not in a hurry, and said with a straight face: "Although I know this, I want to avoid suspicion and can't prove myself, and I also ask Your Majesty to invite Imperial Doctor Hu to find out if there is a problem with the plum cake, so that I can continue to investigate." ”

Imperial Physician Hu came soon, and the accompanying palace maid was still holding a jujube red food box, which happened to contain plum cakes made by Daiyue. The palace maid put the food box on the table, and Imperial Doctor Hu took out the silver needle in front of everyone and inserted it into the plum cake.

The square plum cake is only the size of a finger knuckle, just one bite, and there were originally eighteen in the upper and lower layers in the food box, and there will only be fifteen left, and it was obviously eaten by Queen Su Yi three of them. The translucent plum cake is a rose-red color, which looks refreshing and attractive, and smells sweet and sour, which makes the mouth relish.

Dai Yue stared at the plum cake, looking a little nervous, Luo Qingluan looked at it with a faint face, her eyes were not on the plum cake, but fell on the hand of Imperial Doctor Hu.

After a while, Imperial Physician Hu took out the silver needle and looked at it, then pinched a little corner of the plum cake and tasted it, and then said to Nangong Qing: "Back to Your Majesty, this plum cake is made of fine green plums, and flavored with rock sugar, hawthorn, licorice, etc., there is no problem." The queen mother is currently pregnant for more than a month, and eating some of these snacks will help digestion and increase appetite, which is beneficial. ”

Nangong Qing immediately laughed: "Sure enough, it's not the problem of this plum cake." ”

However, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he looked at the other four women kneeling on the ground: "Since there is no problem with Princess Chu's plum cake, then only the four of you have a problem." Just now, Wen Cairen concealed the truth, but I was afraid that he had done something to conceal it, and he didn't recruit it from the truth! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The concubine concealed it, and the concubine did go to the queen's mother, but the concubine didn't harm the queen......"

Wen Wan's frightened soul is scattered, now that Luo Qingluan has proved her innocence, the biggest suspicion is on her, she is really speechless, she would not hide it if she knew it! Willing to be seen by no one, but I didn't expect that Luo Qingluan's girl would see it, Wen Wan regretted it very much, she knew that she wouldn't be like this.

Chao Nangong Qing shook his head and asked him not to get angry, Luo Qingluan said: "Wen Cairen, if you want to prove your innocence, you have to tell the truth, you first tell Your Majesty, what did you do when you went to Niangniang's Tassel Palace before, why did you go but hide it, what happened?" ”

At this time, Wen Wan didn't dare to hide it again, sobbing and knelt on the ground and said: "The concubine originally went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, but as soon as she walked to the palace gate, she heard the screams of the palace maid inside, and the concubine was scared, and she heard the voice of the palace maid Ruyi and Pearl next to the mother, saying that the mother fainted, and the concubine knew that she should go in to save the mother, but the concubine was really scared, so she ......"

"You were afraid of implicating yourself, so you watched the queen fall into a coma and the palace maid was helpless, but you sneaked away and pretended not to be here at all, didn't you?" Nangong Qing stared at Wen Wan with anger on his face.

"Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubine has never experienced this, and she is really scared......"

"Needless to say, you saw that the queen was in trouble, and you didn't help, but were afraid of being responsible and sneaking away, you are an indifferent woman who can't be saved when she sees death, I don't want to see you!" Nangong Qingsen said coldly: "Come on, bring Wen Cairen back to reflect, think about it behind closed doors, and don't take a step out of the palace gate without my order." ”
