"Where's that man?" Ruyue felt that what she sucked into her nose at this time was all bloody water with a fishy smell. The creepy feeling made her scalp tingle, maybe she was really wrong, the most frightening thing was not the chaos of ghosts and gods, but the human heart.

If the human heart is sinister, then everything in the world is sinister. It doesn't even distinguish between inside and outside the palace!

It's just a good person, who would blame a concubine who is not favored to kill someone? Ruyue always felt that behind this, someone must be manipulating something, and it is likely to be related to herself.

After all, she only gained the emperor's trust, and Ruyue didn't want to make any mistakes at this time. To firmly control the six palaces, it is not a matter of morning and night.

The old lady hurriedly said: "Waiting outside the palace gate, that person's name is Xiao Si'er, and he is the little eunuch who delivers meals to the cold palace every day." ”

Thinking that this matter was complicated and could not be solved in a moment, she asked Concubine Ru: "Niangniang can ask the emperor to order the emperor to come to inspect the scene in order to seek the truth." ”

"Naturally, I want it." Ruyue also had such thoughts, so she said: "In this way, the guards will stay in the cold palace and guard the scene and not allow anyone to enter or leave." After the inspection of the straight road, Liu Jia's sinner was dragged out. As for Concubine Cheng, she will be sent to Yongshou Palace for the time being, and the imperial doctor will be asked to come for treatment. ”

When Concubine Cheng heard this, she cried with joy, and thanked her again and again: "Thank you for being a concubine, Xie Niangniang, you are willing to believe in the concubine." Niangniang's benevolent heart, blessing the six palaces, the concubines will be the first to look at the mother in the future, and never dare to have two hearts. ”

"This palace just doesn't want anyone to die in vain. It's hard to say whether I can save you or not. Why are you so anxious to say thank you! Ruyue didn't decide to help Concubine Cheng just to listen to these nice words. On the contrary, she always felt that if she silently connived at the villains' tricks succeeded, she was likely to be beaten up in the future. accuses himself of recklessly disregarding human life and the like, even if Concubine Cheng is really wronged, she will be implicated to death by her own arbitrariness.

Wouldn't the emperor have to be suspicious again? Thinking of the emperor, Ruyue only felt a splitting headache. Why can't the emperor be as honest with each other as himself? In the presiding mansion, the smiling and approachable Prince Jia is gone!

"The concubine has never done it, Niangniang, you have the heart to clear my innocence, and the concubine is naturally full of gratitude. If the destiny does not allow it, the concubine will finally die. Concubine Cheng suddenly saw through a lot. In the big cage of the harem, a heart wants to be free and wants to be detached, unless it is death......

Some people may not even have the right to decide their own life and death.

A wry smile swelled up at the corner of her mouth, and Ruyue suddenly made a decision: "Xi'er, Peishuang, you go and inform the concubines of the six palaces and gather in the main hall of Yongshou Palace, this matter is very important, you must not hide it, you have to listen to everyone's words." ”

"Yes, mother, the slave will do it." Xi'er knew that Concubine Ru was not a person without opinions, and saying this at this time was just to hide people's eyes. In fact, it is to find out the black hands who control everything behind the scenes. But who could this man be?

The old lady bowed down and helped Concubine Cheng, who was still bound, up, but she still had a grudge, afraid that she would hurt Concubine Ru, so she didn't help her untie the rope immediately. "I've wronged Concubine Cheng. For the time being, wrap yourself in this big cloth, your clothes really can't be exposed. ”

"Thank you, Mama." Concubine Cheng couldn't help but feel that in the past, she was not a Concubine Cheng who was above the top. But when it was really time to fall into trouble, I knew that the world was cold and warm. So much so that the old mother's extremely ordinary words of care also made her warm and burst into tears.

Ruyue silently saw all this in her eyes, thinking about her bumpy experience over the years, and she didn't feel that her nose was sour. But the more times like this, the stronger she must be, and the slightest confusion and carelessness will lead to terrible consequences.

Seeing that Shi Qianmo had also suffered a catastrophe for himself, Ruyue felt guilty. thought that if he became a high-ranking concubine, he would be able to go through the long years hand in hand with the emperor. Unexpectedly, the clouds and rain were just a matter of moments. The higher you climb, the heavier you fall. "Mama, you have arranged for you, and all the people related to this matter will be brought to Yongshou Palace to wait."

"Yes, like a concubine. The slave understands. The old lady handed Concubine Cheng over to Yu Xi'er, bowed down and retreated.

Le Xi'er also became more and more quick in her work, and when Ruyue returned to Yongshou Palace, most of the palace concubines were already waiting outside the main hall. Everyone is sad and panicked, and the news of Concubine Cheng's madness spreads far and wide, and it is inevitable that everyone will be afraid of themselves.

Ruyue got out of the car, and Concubine Yu and Concubine Chun came forward. Seeing that Concubine Chun was also there, Concubine Yu couldn't help but put her words on her lips. Concubine Chun didn't mind at all, and couldn't help but say: "Rufei Niangniang, at this time, rumors are spreading in the harem, saying that Concubine Cheng 'Ling Chi' sinner Liu Jia's family, is this really the case?" ”

Seeing that Ruyue's face was full of doubt, Concubine Yu affirmed: "This is definitely not the case, there must be an article in this." ”

Ruyue looked around at everyone, some of them exchanged heads and ears, and some of them didn't stop worrying, but after all, they were in a mess, and they didn't have the calm and luxurious manners of the past. Slightly unhappy in his heart, his voice became a little more majestic: "Enough! Listen to this palace! ”

Such as the concubine's reprimand, Zhenzhen alarmed half of the harem. The concubines present all trembled and detained, and no one acted rashly. And the color of the face is also surprisingly consistent, cautious and frightened, for fear that the fire at the city gate will affect the innocent pond fish.

"You are all the emperor's concubines, the masters and little masters in the harem. When should there be any style, I don't need to say it one by one! The most important thing in the harem is a woman with many mouths and many tongues. In the previous matter of Changchun Palace, the palace has already dealt with the gossip and wrong, these days, you are just going up, are you afraid that the emperor will not be upset enough? Ruyue's words shook the hearts of the concubines.

Everyone felt that their faces were hot, but they couldn't tell whether they were ashamed, afraid or shocked by the power of the concubine. No one dared to raise their heads, and no one dared to meet Ruyue's eyes at this time. In the open space in front of the main hall, there was no sound, and even the sound of small sparrows flying past and waving their wings could be heard.

"I have called you here this day for no other purpose, but that you may know what to say, and what to say only in and not out, and that you will rot in your womb until death." Ruyue raised her head slightly, looking at the beautiful red sunset before the twilight, and there was no warmth in her heart. The voice calmed down a little: "Whether it was done by Concubine Cheng or not, I can't be sure yet." This palace doesn't want you to make this unjustifiable case, do you understand? ”

"Concubines and others understand." The palace concubines did not dare to slack off at all, and replied in unison.

Ruyue's heart calmed down a little, and she whispered to Yu Concubine on the side: "Sister is also here, is Yanxi Palace taking care of it!" Concubine Yu nodded, distressed that Ruyue was so tired: "You can rest assured, I have my own measure." ”

In this way, Ruyue didn't say much else, and said: "In order to achieve a fair trial, this palace invites all sisters to join the main hall of Yongshou Palace for trial." Anyone who has doubts can point it out to their faces. But there is one point, today's affairs, out of the gate of Yongshou Palace, it is not allowed to talk about themselves, and those who violate the order will be punished with the same crime as the real murderer. At that time, don't blame this palace for not caring about sisterhood. ”

"The concubines and others must obey the will of the concubine." All the concubines replied in unison.

"Enter the temple." Ruyue said.

Then Le Xi'er stretched her voice and repeated: "Enter the temple ......"

In the hall of nourishing the heart, the emperor closes his eyes and nourishes his spirits, and the imperial doctor stands behind him and presses the acupuncture points on the emperor's head with unique fingering. Each blow of force was extremely precise, making the emperor extremely comfortable. "Chang Yonggui, you go on."

Although the emperor did not open his eyes, his heart must be open. Chang Yonggui wanted to guess, so he continued: "If Concubine Niangniang got the letter, she immediately went to the cold palace to investigate in detail, and after the fact, she also ordered the inspection site. At this time, Concubine Cheng has been brought back to Yongshou Palace. All the concubines also got the will of the concubine and gathered together in Yongshou Palace. The slave dared to speculate that the concubine must not want to be hasty. ”

After Chang Yonggui finished speaking, the emperor did not say anything. Let's say that the color on the face is still peaceful, and I can't see the slightest mood. Only continued: "If the concubine reprimands the concubines in front of the main hall, they must not speak too much, and they should have a dignified and virtuous appearance at all times, which is worthy of their identity." ”

"Hmm." The Emperor snorted softly. "Then the minion will let people go and see." Chang Yonggui asked tentatively. After all, there was such a mess in the harem, and it also involved human lives, how could the emperor not be in a hurry and be so peaceful, it was too different from usual.

Just as he was thinking about it, it was the emperor who laughed: "Chang Yonggui, you must be thinking, why I am not in a hurry or annoyed, and I can still calmly close my eyes and recuperate!" ”

was expected by the emperor to be on his mind, Chang Yonggui looked a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty, you are really a generation of saints, and even the careful thinking of a slave can't escape your discernment. It's really embarrassing for the minions. ”

"Huh." Far from being displeased, the emperor was in a good mood. Admired: "The first queen was benevolent, always tolerant in case of trouble, and lacked a trace of fierceness." And the queen is sharp, but whenever there is anything, she always has to suppress and always punish heavily, but to no avail. Concubine Ru is the most reassuring to me! You watch, but whenever something happens to her, she will always be lenient and severe, and she will never go wrong.

The harem is entrusted to her, even if it is a big trouble, I can sit back and relax. ”

Chang Yonggui's heart suddenly accelerated, but fortunately, it was not close to the emperor and was not easy to detect. The emperor will be like a concubine compared with the two queens, what does this mean? Don't you have the mind to be like a concubine? Although the concubine can afford it, it will inevitably affect the political affairs of the previous dynasty after the abolition, not to mention that there are two elder brothers under the queen's knees......

"Come on, put away your little thoughts." The emperor interrupted Chang Yonggui's worries and said to himself: "If the concubine is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and the queen phoenix seal is in charge, I am quite comforted. You go and listen, and watch, and if there's anything interesting, come back and forth. ”

"Huh." Chang Yonggui's hanging heart let go of a little, but fortunately, the emperor is still wise. It's just that I'm afraid of suffering like a concubine, and in the end I'm just the concubine who holds the phoenix seal.
