The little eunuch naturally heard the sound of the palace, and a trace of disdain surged in his heart, but his mouth became more and more respectful: "Little master, Your Majesty invites you to go to Weiyang Palace." ”

The uneasiness in Zhao Ruxue's heart came up again, and she thought for a moment and asked, "Little father-in-law, do you know what Your Majesty has summoned me?" ”

The little eunuch didn't want to say it, he happened to be on duty in Weiyang Palace today, and he didn't know what happened when he stood outside the palace, but he knew that His Majesty was angry, and now he called Concubine Zhao over, which must not be a good thing.

But this Zhao Concubine has been really very favored recently, if she mentions one or two points by herself, she may also leave a way back for herself, thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Ruxue, showing a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Ruxue understood, coughed lightly, and scolded the little palace maid just now: "Who is this for crying and sad face, don't get out of here, don't spoil my mood for no reason." ”

The little palace maid hurriedly retreated, and seeing that there were no extra people in the hall, the little eunuch said slowly: "I really don't know what the specific thing is, but I know that it seems to be related to the little master of Xi Concubine, and the personal maid of the little master of Xi Concubine, Ruyi, is still kneeling in the rain." ”

When Zhao Ruxue heard this, she looked overjoyed, could it be that it was done? It's just that at this time, why did His Majesty call himself over?

Before she could figure it out, the little eunuch who passed the decree had already urged: "Little master, it's windy and rainy outside, and it will take a while in the past, let's go quickly, Your Majesty of the province is in a hurry." ”

When Zhao Ruxue arrived at Weiyang Palace, she saw Ruyi kneeling in the rain, her face pale as if snow had fallen, and the cold rain continued to hit Ruyi's body, and Ruyi's body trembled slightly, as if she was about to faint at any time.

"Yo, why is Ruyi girl kneeling here, is it that your little lord has annoyed Your Majesty and let you subordinates be punished?" Zhao Ruxue just couldn't see that their master and servant were good, and her heart became happy.

But he didn't want to hook the corners of his mouth as he wished, and he leaked a little disdainful expression.

The little eunuch held the umbrella and whispered: "Why should the little master be angry with this slave, Your Majesty is waiting." ”

Zhao Ruxue's sterling silver armor gently curled the beads on her sideburns, and she walked in gracefully, but to her surprise, He Xi sat at the bottom of the queen in a dignified manner, His Royal Highness King Xian was also there, and there were a few palace people kneeling on the ground.

She first curtsy, and then pulled out a far-fetched smile and said, "I don't know what happened when Your Majesty summoned the concubines?" ”

"Concubine Zhao, do you know this person?" Tuoba Chen raised his hand and pointed at Li Bin who was kneeling on the ground, Li Bin quickly lowered his head, Concubine Zhao just glanced down, saw Li Bin's expression, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, her smile became more and more unbearable, and she shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't know." ”

"Don't know? Li Bin, whose ancestral home is Luocheng, Jiangnan, but he has been in Changzhou since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a person from Changzhou and your fellow villager. Tuoba Chen played with a thin silk thread in his hand and said lightly.

Zhao Ruxue's legs couldn't stop trembling slightly, her hand hanging in the wide cuffs, pinching the silver armor in her hand, she peeked at Queen Lan Ruo, but saw that Lan Ruo was still that demure and dignified, but there was a little more melancholy in her eyes, which was rare on weekdays.

"That's a coincidence." Zhao Ruxue replied curtly.

"Concubine Zhao, save your subordinates, your subordinates don't want to die, little master." Liu Bin saw that the emperor had investigated his life experience so clearly, and knew that it was too late, Zhao Ruxue's arrival was almost the last straw that broke the camel's back, and he could only pray that Zhao Ruxue could help him intercede and speak.

But I don't want Zhao Ruxue to be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, Liu Bin's words are even worse, Zhao Ruxue's expression changed greatly, and he reprimanded angrily: "Isn't it because I was watered by the rain outside, I lost my mind, although I am a fellow villager with you, but no matter what mistakes you make, naturally everything will be ruled by Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, what can I help you!" ”

Liu Bin was stunned, he was not a foolish person, when he heard Zhao Ruxue's words, he knew that Zhao Ruxue was discarding the relationship, he was evil and courageous, pointing at Zhao Ruxue and said loudly: "How can the little master Zhao Concubine cross the river and tear down the bridge, you clearly said that as long as I do what you tell me, Your Majesty can't help but blame me, and will marry me with pleasure!" Your words don't count! In vain, I also risked losing my head to bring you acacia incense from outside the palace! ”

Li Bin can be regarded as a fish dead and the net is broken, and he actually poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said everything, Zhao Ruxue's legs were weak and fell to the ground, she looked at Li Bin's mouth open and closed, but she couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Concubine Zhao, do you have anything else to say?" Tuoba Chen said coldly. Zhao Ruxue wanted to justify, but she didn't know where to justify, all the words came to her mouth, and they all turned into a cry: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wrong, you spare the concubine, Your Majesty - please spare the concubine - the concubine is also blindfolded for a while, so she did such a thing - Your Majesty -"

Crying and begging for mercy continued, Lan Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, so that all the charges were naturally detained on Zhao Ruxue's body.

She turned her head sideways, looked at Tuoba Chen's handsome side face and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao has already confessed, this ......"

Tuoba Chen just didn't raise his eyes, as if he was a person kneeling on the ground, not the woman he once loved very much, and said lightly with thin lips: "According to the rules, send it to the Shen Criminal Division." By the way, he sent a letter to Lord Zhao in Changzhou, and Concubine Zhao died of illness in the palace. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Ruo nodded lightly and said yes, then turned her head to look at He Xi and said, "Is my sister satisfied with this result?" ”

The deep meaning in He Xi's eyes was undiminished, looking at Lan Ruo's eyes, and said gently: "Your Majesty's holy ruling, as well as the queen's decision, are naturally the best." The concubine didn't say anything, but since the truth of the matter has been ascertained, can you spare the charges of the concubine and maid. ”

Ruyi did lie. If Tuoba Chen and Lan Ruo really wanted to deal with her in this matter, He Xi would not be able to turn the tide, she was gambling, the queen saw her concessions, so she smiled lightly and said: "I thought it was a frizzy girl with a honey-bellied sword, two sides and three knives, but I didn't want to be a delicate, affectionate and righteous person, this punishment was also punished, and I knelt in the rain, why don't I expose this matter, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Tuoba Chen slowly bowed his head and said: "You are the master of the harem, just let the queen call the shots in such matters." ”

Like a stone, it lost all the way in the middle of the lake, causing thin ripples, but it regained its calm, as if the suspicion, suspicion, and even begging for mercy between the emperor and queen had not happened. But He Xi was like the rest of her life, she looked at the heavy rain outside, and her heart became wet.

She thanked her gently, Ruyi was helped in by the little eunuch with an umbrella, her whole body was soaked by the rain, and she kept shivering, and when she heard the words of the little eunuch, she knew that she was innocent, and her heart was relieved, and she fainted before she could bow and thank her.

Zhao Ruxue was still crying helplessly, as if she remembered something, and begged for mercy in the direction of the queen: "The queen can't treat her concubines like this......"

"Qiao'er!" Lan Ruo gave Qiao'er who was standing at the bottom a look, and Qiao'er immediately walked to Zhao Ruxue's side, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Zhao Ruxue's mouth.

"If you make a mistake and die without repentance, you should really send it to the Criminal Division to be beaten up." Lan Ruo rebuked matter-of-factly.

Tuoba Yue seemed to have watched a good show, and kept smacking his tongue with relish, Tuoba Chen was seen by his younger brother in the harem scandal, and there was no trace of annoyance.

He glanced at it, Tuoba Yue, who was sitting on the chair obliquely, was still full of grace, raised the cup in his hand and said: "Today's matter is thanks to the timely action of the seventh brother, Xi Concubine can avoid a disaster, and Xi Concubine has not thanked His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

He Xi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly held back his mind, his face was a little detached, because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he just bowed in the direction of Tuoba Yue and said, "His Royal Highness King Xie Xian today." ”

How do you know that Tuoba Yue didn't pay attention to He Xi's words at all, and just said to Tuoba Chen: "It's a pity that the ancient Jane, the younger brother has been looking for a long time to find it, and it was soaked in the rain like this, and it must not be repaired, it's a pity, it's a pity-"

After saying several regrets in a row, Tuoba Chen chuckled and said: "This Gu Jian I also feel a pity, but fortunately, although it is difficult to find, it is not alone. ”

Tuoba Yue seemed to be interested, and hurriedly straightened up and asked: "Brother Chen has liked these things since he was a child, and the imperial brother also knows it, I don't know where the imperial brother knows?" ”

Tuoba Chen's fingers stroked the jade wrench finger on his hand, and said slowly: "The seventh brother is not in Beijing, naturally there are a lot of things I don't know, a few years ago, someone found an ancient tomb in the suburbs of Beijing, the scale is huge, when the father was still there, he found a capable person, opened the main tomb and a group of ear chambers, although the scale of this tomb is not large, but the burial is very rich, just when the war continued, the father found the presiding abbot of Zhaohua Temple to overtake the undead, and then the gold, silver and jewelry rushed to the treasury, but I heard, The owner of this tomb also collected a lot of ancient books, but it took a lot of manpower and material resources to excavate, and the father was not here at that time, so it was abandoned. But since the seventh brother likes it, I will give you a few hundred people, how about searching for them? ”

Another idle job, Tuoba Yue narrowed his eyes, the light in his eyes swelled darkly, and then he opened an evil and demonic smile and said: "The imperial brother really knows the thoughts of the younger brother, so the younger brother thanked the imperial brother for the reward." ”
