Yizhu was very surprised, and couldn't help but jump in her eyebrows: "How can this be, yesterday the concubine just thought that my sister had injured her ankle...... It is very likely that it is artificial. ”

Xu is to clear himself, maybe this statement is about to come out, Yizhu did not hide anything. Since everyone present can think of this, no matter how she hides it, she can't compensate for the doubts in their hearts after all. It's better to spit out quickly than to hide and arouse suspicion.

"Does the noble Mailer see it that way?" Panyu stared at her for a moment, but still didn't see panic or uneasiness in her expression: "This palace also feels that there is a lot of catty in this." Of course, we will find out if we see who benefits a lot from this matter. ”

Concubine Xian's words were straightforward, and she almost said her name directly. Yizhu slowly lowered her eyes, with a little guilt on her face: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is too worried, the concubine just chose the opportunity of Yehenara nobles, and she was fortunate to dance in front of the emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother and all the sisters, and the gains and losses by chance." Although the concubine was happy, she did not dare to forget her identity, and she was only grateful to the nobles of Yehenara in her heart, but she was not harmless. ”

"Is there any, it's not just your words, the queen will know by herself, you really don't have to be so anxious to clear yourself. If it is originally as clear as water, if you pour impurities, it can also be precipitated and clear. But it was originally yellow mud, but I was afraid that it would dry out, and it would also be a handful of mud foam, and it would not be transparent after all. When Panyu spoke, his lips and teeth were light, slow and logical, and there was no impatience.

Lan Xin vaguely saw the past from her expression at this time, and she didn't know how to feel. In the past, when Concubine Xian was still a side Fujin, she was so tepid, meticulous and reasonable. It was only in the gradual decline of grace and those helpless years that it was like a cockfight, choking on the hair and red eyes, and everyone wanted to pounce on it and peck a few times.

The women in the Forbidden City, no matter how noble their essence, how pure their hearts are, and how proud they are in their bones, in the end they are not swayed by grace. And what is grace, that is the only son of heaven, the only husband, or a ray of care caused by mercy or Longxing.

But this grace not only determines the glory and wealth, the position of power, but also determines life and death.

As a result, the women in the Forbidden City have all changed, and they have become something that even they can't imagine.

Sighing coldly, Lan Xin stared at the two of them quietly, and after a long time, he said quietly: "This palace has already asked people to bring Yilan who is serving by the side of the noble Yehenara, and it will be clear when you ask in person." Before the matter is clarified, Concubine Xian does not need to rush to conclusions. so as not to hurt the harmony. ”

Gao Lingxi thought that the hour was almost up, so he asked the queen for instructions: "Queen Mother, I guess that in a while, the palace concubine who invited An will arrive." People come and go, and it is inconvenient to say many words, do you keep them out of the palace gate, so as to avoid today's greetings? ”

"Concubine Hui is thoughtful. Jinlan, you go. Lan Xin had already planned to do the same, and when the words came out of Concubine Hui's mouth, it could be seen that she also wanted to find out about this matter.

Yizhu blessed the queen again, and the smile on her face had already turned into a melancholy: "In the end, the concubine replaced the blessing of the nobles of Yehenara and received the emperor's attention, no wonder the queen mother and the sisters misunderstood the concubines and made a hindrance." But Yizhu didn't have such a mind. As soon as she entered the palace, the concubines knew that life in the palace was not easy, and seeing that Bilu beside her promised to be favored and get the emperor's heir, and walked so hard step by step, the concubines did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. If it is not destined by providence, the twisted melon will not be sweet in the end. ”

Jin Peizi looked at her pink and tender little face with a stubbornness, and said thoughtfully: "It's not difficult to prove that your sister is innocent, it depends on whether you are willing or not." ”

There was a hint of longing in Yizhu's eyes, and it faintly turned into urgency: "The concubine is willing, as long as it can be proved that the concubine is innocent, but according to the orders of Concubine Jia." ”

"After inspection, the dancing shoes were not produced by the embroidery lady of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but were imitated with the same gold and silver threads, no, and even jade plates. If you want to prove your innocence, you just need to ask Aunt Jinlan from the queen's side to check in your palace, if you don't have this kind of craftsmanship, you can naturally clear your suspicions. ”

Panyu couldn't help frowning, and disagreed in his heart: "If there is no such craftsmanship, it may not be able to completely clear up the involvement, it can only mean that it was not done by yourself, but it cannot mean that it is not imitated by others." ”

Jin Peizi smiled lightly, and finally agreed with Concubine Xian's words: "It's that the concubine thinks shallowly, which makes Concubine Xian smile." Fortunately, these two people are usually close, and Jin Peizi also knows that Concubine Xian is going to the Melle clan, not herself.

"Even if you can clear away some suspicions, the concubine is willing to give it a try." Yizhu said seriously: "Please ask the queen's mother for permission, and take Aunt Jinlan to the palace of the concubine to find it carefully, and check it together with the concubine's attendants." Even if you can't completely wash away the suspicion of the concubine, it can always make the concubine feel a little more at ease. ”

Mellor's request meant that there was no evidence of guilt in her palace at all. Lan Xin's heart is bright, if he goes like this, he can't find anything, but it makes people laugh. I thought that the middle palace was incompetent, but it was passed to the queen mother, and it was another storm. In this way, Lan Xin shook his head slightly: "Why bother like this, after inquiring about Yilan, it's not too late to talk about anything else." ”

Gao Lingxi's eyebrows were quite steady, she didn't speak for a long time, and asked Concubine Xian as soon as she opened her mouth: "The dancing shoes were sent by the hands of the servants of the Internal Affairs Office, and those slaves and concubines really checked clearly, is there nothing suspicious?" ”

Seeing that Concubine Hui was coming at her, she was slightly unhappy, and her lips were not opened. But he heard a message outside the door: "Yehnara nobleman has arrived." ”

Xue Guining took a few people and slowly walked in with the injured Qishan, followed by Yi Lan.

"I'm still wounded, why did I come?" Lan Xin was slightly surprised when she came: "Look at the seat." ”

"The concubines greet the queen, and the sisters are auspicious." Qi Shan's face was calm, and she smiled to herself: "Concubine Xue Gonggong said that the queen mother suspected that the concubine's dancing shoes made people do their hands and feet, so she couldn't sit still." begged Gonggong Xue to bring his concubines to listen to the matter together. Qishan made her own opinion, and hoped that the queen would forgive her sins. ”

"It's inevitable, if you know that others are trying to harm you, everyone will be restless." Gao Lingxi glanced at the Yehenala clan, and then looked at the Meler clan, which was very eye-catching. The same slender figure, the same pink carved jade, exuding everyone's delicate and gentle bearing, but somewhat similar.

Lan Xin bowed her head and agreed with Concubine Hui's words: "It's understandable that you want to know, it's just that you're still hurt, and you have to take care of your body." Sit down. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." Qishan smiled at the queen gratefully, and turned her head to Hui Guifei to express her gratitude.

Yi Lan asked for peace, but he kept lying on the ground, a little scared in his heart. First, she was negligent in taking care of the little master, and it was Xue Gonggong who said it himself, and the queen specially ordered her to come and ask. If you can find out the person who really harmed the little master, it will be considered lucky, but if you can't find out, the blame will inevitably be deducted from yourself.

If this is the case, Yi Lan cautiously glanced at his little master, and pity his life worriedly.

With the queen's permission, Pan Yu was the first to ask: "Yilan, your days of serving in the palace are not short, and you are still the maid who came from the palace, and you are finally the maid of the emperor and the queen's mother." With this layer of intimacy, you will answer truthfully whatever this palace asks you. ”

"Yes." Yi Lan's body shook, and he responded very unnaturally: "How dare the slave and maid hide it, they must know everything and tell the truth." ”

"That's good." Pan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Your nobleman's dancing shoes were sent by the servants of the Internal Affairs Office to the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, have you kept them all the time?" ”

"Back to Concubine Xian's words, the nobles' things are kept by slaves and maids. Because nobles love neatness, slaves and maids are also very careful, and never fake their hands to others. Yi Lan brushed away the sweat on his face, and bit the words heavily: "The slave maid is sure that no one has done anything in the palace, the Internal Affairs Office has sent a total of three pairs, the noble little master she practices diligently, and she will wear a pair in a few days, the first two pairs are good, there is no problem, and the slave and maid don't know how the third pair can be ......"

Gao Lingxi's eyes were keen, and he saw the very good Nanzhu on Yi Lan's ears at a glance, and he couldn't help but smile brightly: "Yi Lan, before you served the nobles of Yehenara, you were just an ordinary maid who cleaned the courtyard and pruned the flowers and branches in the courtyard. There's not a lot of money per month, right? ”

"Yes." Yi Lan looked at Concubine Hui in confusion, not knowing what kind of edge was in these words.

"In other words, you accepted the benefits of others, and then changed to a pair of problematic dancing shoes to harm your own little master?" Gao Lingxi's face still did not change, his smile was clear, but his tone was unbearable. "Otherwise, with your little monthly silver, where can you bring something as valuable as Nanzhu?"

"No, Concubine Hui Gui's slave and maid are wronged." Yi Lan was in a hurry, so he had to support his body and knelt forward for two steps, and the moment his hands were on the ground, the string of pearls on his arms also slipped between his wrists, revealing a glowing and soft brilliance.

"And say wronged, then what's on your wrist?" Jin Peizi doesn't recognize good things, such round beads are really valuable, could it be that they fell from the sky? ”

Yi Lan panicked, shook his head incessantly, and argued again and again: "The beads on this ear were given to the slave by Xiaoyun next to the noble man of Melle, and the bead string in his hand was rewarded by my little master, the slave and maid did not lie, and the slave and maid did not harm their own little master because of the money of others." The queen mother. ”
