"Don't be in a hurry to argue, you are also a girl from the palace. Look at yourself, what your unkempt hair looks like. The Queen Mother was extremely dissatisfied, and the tail of her eyes condensed with sharp ice edges, which were as sharp as poisonous arrows that made people's hearts tremble. It seems that it will suddenly follow her gaze, swoop over, and stab the heart.

Zhilan immediately softened, and before she could understand how Fu Heng could temporarily change his hexagram. I said I would hide her, so why did I knock her unconscious and send her here? Could it be that he saw his intention to ask the emperor for help? Or are you determined to put yourself to death in order to show the queen's innocence?

Xiao Feng saw that Zhilan had finally calmed down and lost the strength to struggle, so he couldn't help but let go of his hand. "If the Queen Mother has no other orders, the slave will retire." This sentence, close to his ear, seemed to deliberately remind Zhilan that he was by his side.

"Xiao Feng ......" Zhilan came back to her senses and realized that the person who almost broke her wrist turned out to be Xiao Feng. Could it be that she sent herself to Cining Palace? Suffocated and resentful, Zhilan's eyes almost erupted with fire: "You sent me to Cining Palace?" ”

Lan Xin coughed lightly and turned around slowly: "Xiao Feng, you go down first." ”

"Queen Mother, the slave didn't kill anyone." Zhilan didn't dare to go to see the Queen Mother, but thought that the Queen Mother was lenient and might save her life. In desperation, when her life hung by a thread, she could only crawl to the queen on her knees, lying at the queen's feet, trembling and begging. "It's the little eunuch, he wants to kill the slave and the maid, he wants to kill the slave and the maid. In a panic, the slave and maid pulled out the hairpin on their heads, and somehow ...... A stab in his body. Queen Mother, you have to believe the words of the slave and the maid, only you can save the slave and the maid. ”

"Are palace rules the same as child's play?" Lan Xin's mood did not fluctuate much, but looked at the poor man kneeling at his feet very calmly. "Whatever the reason, you've stabbed someone to death with your own hands. Someone saw you pierce the silver hairpin into the heart of the inner eunuch, and the hairpin was thrown into the lake by you, and now in front of the queen mother, you also admit the truth yourself. What are you doing here? ”

The Queen Mother looked at the queen quietly, and always felt that the ability to be happy and angry was invisible, and the queen had already practiced perfectly.

"Queen Mother, do you also think that the slave deserves to die?" Zhilan was a little desperate, she knew the queen's temperament, and thought that the queen might save her life for the sake of the emperor. But it turned out that she had forgotten that the queen was just a woman, and what women were best at was jealousy. Maybe there is no woman in the world who can really tolerate her husband's pillow and sleep with others.

His eyes fell on Zhilan's blood-covered hands, Gao Lingxi subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, frowned slightly, and turned his head to stop his nausea. Since that day, when she saw the blood stains on the window lattice, she couldn't see the red blood again, and her heart couldn't stop trembling when she looked at it, and she was uncomfortable.

However, as a concubine second only to the queen, Gao Lingxi can't just look at it. Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her mood and said admittedly: "Queen Mother, the concubine thinks that since this matter has been investigated, it will be handed over to the Prudent Criminal Division." You really don't have to bother, the phoenix body matters. ”

The Queen Mother sighed for a long time, with a tired face: "What Concubine Hui said is good, the mourning family should focus on the body." But when something like this happened in the harem, it fell in a few words, and it seemed rash to mourn the family. If the emperor asks about it, the mourning family is afraid of being dumb and speechless. ”

She already had a plan in her heart, and the Queen Mother wanted to throw the problem to the queen, so she sighed melancholy, and said: "Queen, Zhilan has always been your maid." The mourning family thinks that since it is your maidservant, it should be handed over to you to ask clearly. Although it is said that murder pays for life, and the crime of violating palace rules is added to the first degree, but she keeps shouting that she is wronged, but she really has an inside story. The mourning family is not afraid of wronging her, but is afraid that the emperor will blame her, so I will work hard for you, and in the Cining Palace of the mourning family, find out. ”

After saying that, the Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to lean on the back of the phoenix chair as if she was weak, without any movement.

Gao Lingxi was a little confused, wondering if he had missed something. How to deal with such a thing as a palace maid, and the emperor will still be displeased and held accountable? What is the Queen Mother's mind? Just because Zhilan and the emperor grew up together, and even the emperor's warm bed, is the emperor so attentive to her?

No, if the emperor really cares about this palace maid, why didn't he accept her? Gao Lingxi had a nameless anger in his heart, anxious that he couldn't think through, and even more worried that he couldn't see clearly. When is it, everyone is tense and prepared, but she is stunned and can't figure out the situation. Isn't that a fatal thing?

It's a pity that no matter how much Gao Lingxi wants to know, no one can tell her clearly at this time.

"The concubine obeys." Lan Xin is not chaotic in the face of danger, and it shows everyone's beautiful bearing. She has long known that the words that annoy the emperor will not come out of the mouth of the queen mother. The Queen Mother just wants to watch a good show. Once he made an edict and sent Zhilan down, it was a sin that could not be recovered. Even if the emperor has nothing to say on the surface, will he not wonder in his heart that he is intentional? Whenever I think of Zhilan's good comes, won't the emperor resent his ruthlessness?

It's impossible not to be nervous, every string of Lan Xin is about to break. The body is stiff, and after standing for a long time, I feel dizzy and numb, and I feel uncomfortable. He could only endure the discomfort and asked: "Zhilan, why did you stab that inner prison to death." The cause and effect should be told from the truth. ”

"If the queen wants to fall, she will fall, and the slave has nothing to say." Zhilan's eyes were red and swollen, and the fear in her heart gradually flowed down the tears, and all that was left was hatred. Only hatred made her grit her teeth and kneel on the ground, calmly meeting the unclear gaze in Lan Xin's eyes.

"It's tough." Huang Rui'e shook the silk in her hand, and said thoughtfully: "Since ancient times, it has been common for palace maids and eunuchs to quarrel and use force. Isn't it Zhilan, you have something shady to see through the eunuch's hand, and now the two don't recognize each other, so you kill people and kill people, right? ”

Jin Peizi has endured not to speak, just to take into account the feelings of the Queen Mother. But this Huang Rui'e is inevitably getting more and more excessive, which obviously means that the queen has something unsightly to do, and she ordered Zhilan to do it. In order to keep his master, Zhilan refused to admit it to death and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. It seems that the murderer is not a palace maid at all, but a dignified queen of the middle palace.

Sima Zhao's heart is really unreasonable. Jin Peizi glanced at the Queen Mother, who was sleeping peacefully, clenched her fists, and said coldly: "Concubine Yi is too worried." The concubine thinks that the more complicated the matter, the simpler it is often. What is complicated is the human heart, and what is simple is the truth. Zhilan's stabbing of her father-in-law to death is the truth, and it is obvious on the table. That's all. ”

After a pause, Jin Peizi smiled slightly, and her lips were soft as if they could drip water: "Or do you have any evidence to prove that there is something on the back that others can't see?" The concubine will have to listen to her. ”

"Is there really nothing to say?" Lan Xin didn't pay attention to the people behind him, and disputes broke out over this matter. His eyes stayed on Zhilan. Maybe it was the last time she would look at her so closely. Although he knew that he would offend the emperor and make Long Yan unhappy, Lan Xin had to do the same.

Otherwise, who knows how drastic the Queen Mother will be to impose all the blame on herself. Lan Xin didn't want to hold the power of the harem all the time, she could obey the orders of the queen mother with filial piety, as long as these were good for the emperor. It's a pity that the Queen Mother's heart is too ruthless, and she can't allow others to snore next to the couch.

She wants a puppet, not filial piety.

Zhilan raised her face, her smart eyes slowly turned, full of sad tears. "Queen Mother, the slave has made it very clear. The slave didn't know the little father-in-law at all, and there was really no reason to kill him. It was he who wanted the life of the slave and maid, and when he came out of the Qianqing Palace, he always followed the slave and maid. Until the Imperial Garden, when he saw that no one was there, he attacked the slave maid. ”

Gao Lingxi almost exclaimed in surprise, holding back vigorously, but said strangely: "You came out of the Qianqing Palace?" Early in the morning, what are you doing in Qianqing Palace? ”

This sentence embarrassed everyone present.

Even Jin Peizi, whose hair was like a fighting, softened into an eggplant, and the frost hung down.

Su Wanrong's eyes were red, and she tried to look to the side, but she couldn't hide her sadness. She really wanted to tell Concubine Hui, but it was really hard to speak. Although he had expected that Zhilan would inevitably climb the dragon bed. She also specially asked Xiao Dingzi to prepare medicine and send it to the emperor, in order to make it a good thing.

But she didn't expect that the emperor didn't need her to prepare anything at all. Xiao Dingzi stopped Chen Jinzhong outside the palace gate, and the emperor was so urgent......

The goal of embarrassing the queen was achieved, but Su Wanrong couldn't be happy.

Lan Xin didn't know how to answer Hui Guifei's question, and only heard the sound of plum blossom praise tassels. She knew that her heart was not at peace anymore, like the surface of a lake where the wind swept by, to put it mildly, ripples and sparkling. It's hard to say that she herself has picked up the acid and eaten the vinegar, and she is no longer so calm and relaxed.

My heart hurts. The emperor asked for her, and the emperor asked for Zhilan, it turned out that he really gave her to himself as a maid in order to protect Zhilan. Lan Xin tried her best to maintain a calm appearance, and no one could see the hairs on her body that stood up because of the cold.

"Queen, what's the matter?" Gao Lingxi's heart was not good, and he was silent: "What the hell is ......?"

"Concubine Hui still doesn't know?" Huang Rui'e took a small step forward: "The concubine is still in front of the palace, there is no impermeable wall." ”

If it was usual, Gao Lingxi would definitely smile and groan. But at this time, she had exhausted her mental strength, and her tone was inevitably not so gentle: "Don't go around in circles, what do you want to say, concubine?" ”
