Tuoba Chen's gaze swept towards Ruyi, who was lying on the ground at this time, his hands wrapped in bandages, and he was already stained by the rain.

He asked in a deep voice, "Ruyi, what's the matter with the injury on your hand?" ”

Suddenly, Tuoba Chen called herself, her head hung lower, and she said softly: "It's a slave...... It was the slave who accidentally bruised it. ”

Tuoba Chen said coldly: "How did you bruise?" ”

Ruyi remembered the scene he saw at the rockery that day, and always felt that something was wrong, but before Ruyi could figure it out, Tuoba Chen said to Lu Chuan: "I'm tired of Imperial Doctor Lu to see how this is bruised." ”

Ruyi shrank and wanted to hide back, Lu Chuan only thought that Ruyi was afraid of pain, and he said softly: "Ruyi girl, the wound will become inflamed if it is soaked in rain, or show me." ”

Ruyi looked up in panic and met Tuoba Chen's cold eyes. With just one glance, Ruyi felt that his whole body was frozen and he couldn't move.

Lu Chuan gently cut the bandage on Ruyi's hand with the scissors in the medicine box, only to see that the wound had been swollen by the wet bandage bubble, and there were a few small blood cuts in the palm of his hand, which turned outward at this time, and there was a faint blue and purple around the wound, which should be caused by bumping into a hard object when he was injured, and then combined with the depth and shape of the wound, Lu Chuan immediately came to the conclusion, and he respectfully said: "Back to Your Majesty, Miss Ruyi's hand was cut by a stone." ”

Tuoba Chen's expression immediately turned cold, and Ruyi hurriedly said: "It was the slave who accidentally fell and cut the palm of her hand." Tuoba Chen sneered and said, "I think he was pushed by someone." ”

Ruyi's face turned pale, and at this moment, He Xi was helped in by the maidservant from the side hall, and just thought of kneeling, Tuoba Chen said coldly: "Since there is an injury on the leg, then give a seat." Fuqing hurriedly ordered someone to move a chair over.

He Xi hurriedly thanked her, her eyes were as calm as water, and the only thing she did was to see that the bandage on Ruyi's hand had been cut, and now Lu Chuan was giving Ruyi medicine, and her mind was turning a thousand times.

I happened to hear Tuoba Chen ask: "Do things so carelessly, how can you serve in front of Concubine Xi in the future, it just so happens that Concubine Xi's original personal maid has arrived in the capital in recent days, so you will go to Huanyifang." ”

What kind of place is Huanyifang, the clothes of the emperor's concubines in the entire palace, down to the palace maids and eunuchs with a little face, must be sent there to be washed, and it is the most bitter and tiring place in the entire palace.

Ruyi was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a while, and He Xi said lightly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake Ruyi made to punish her for going to Huanyifang?" ”

The queen said softly on the side: "This palace still cares about her own safety." ”

Then he looked at the palace man beside him: "Didn't you hear Your Majesty's order, don't you suppress this bold!" "There are palace people who answer the call.

He Xi asked again, "Your Majesty, what mistake did Ruyi make?" ”

Tuoba Chen sneered: "Maybe I should also ask you where the injury on Ruyi's hand came from!" ”

He put the cup in his hand on the table in a heavy manner, and He Xi saw Ruyi's expression, and knew that she didn't tell the truth, but the recent events were inseparable from Zhao Ruxue.

She said in a deep voice: "It was caused by the palace maid beside Concubine Zhao who was pleasantly pushing." Tuoba Chen looked at He Xi's expression and said, "Then why did you have a dispute?" ”

He Xi said 1510, but Tuoba Chen smiled: "She said it was because she broke you, you said it was because she broke them, it was really a crowd, and I can't be a fool!" ”

At this time, those palace people had already stepped forward to pull Ruyi, Ruyi cried quietly, facing He Xi's direction: "The little master saves the slave maid, the little master saves the slave maid." ”

He Xi was a little anxious, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the truth of the matter has not yet been ascertained, how can you dispose of Ruyi casually now!" Please also ask Your Majesty to be gracious. ”

Lan Ruo said on the side: "She just dared to bully the king, Your Majesty is already extraordinarily generous to punish her to go to the Huanyi Fang, Sister Xi must know that bullying the king is a capital crime!" ”

He Xi didn't pay attention to Lan Ruo's words, just looked at Tuoba Chen firmly, but Tuoba Chen kept silent, He Xi saw that Ruyi was about to be pulled out of the hall, the rain outside the hall had already drenched Ruyi's body, and Ruyi's crying voice had gradually weakened, and was overwhelmed by the sound of rain.

He Xi became more and more anxious, she got up and left her seat, but her legs didn't seem to listen to her own call, she fell from the seat and sat down, she didn't mind at all.

Just half-knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Ruyi was only because of pity and pleasure at that time, so he couldn't bear to say it, but he didn't want us to be used by others but didn't know it, if His Majesty disposed of Ruyi today, it would be a chance to give these people in the palace who reversed right and wrong, does Your Majesty want the entire harem to become like this?" Those who are sincere in their hearts dare not speak, and only flattery with a snake's tail is left! ”

In the last few words, He Xi said louder and louder, she knew what Tuoba Chen was thinking at this time, he was the most taboo for others to deceive him, He Xi's words were like sharp knives piercing Tuoba Chen's soft underbelly.

He waved his hand and said, "Stop." The palace people stopped what they were doing and stood aside, Tuoba Chen didn't call in, Ruyi could only kneel under the steps, and let the heavy rain constantly whipped her body. Although He Xi looked distressed, she also knew that at least Ruyi was preserved in this way, which was already the best result.

Lu Chuan had already gone to inspect the things on the clothes, and came over after a while and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this dress is smoked with special spices, which are mixed with a variety of aphrodisiac herbs, as far as the minister knows, there is a folk thing called Acacia incense that is very similar to this thing, but the residual fragrance on this dress is already very small, plus this incense into the water and melting, the little master has just rained again, and the minister is only speculating." ”

Lu Chuan has a strict temperament, but since he said so, he has already been determined.

Lan Ruo got up abruptly and said, "Impossible, this dress has always been in the treasury of the palace, how can there be any acacia incense!" At this time, Qiao'er replied outside the door: "Niangniang, I found a sneaky palace maid in our side hall. It seems that they are hiding something, and the slave and maid brought it. ”

Lan Ruoliu raised her eyebrows and said, "Bring it in, this palace will see who is hiding the pickled things in the palace of this palace!" ”

He Xi looked over, but saw Qiao'er walking in with a panicked palace maid, and the palace maid's face still had a slightly red and swollen palm print, which was really the little maid who was holding black charcoal before.

Her eyes were red, and she bit her lip like a wounded rabbit, and Qiao'er pressed her to her knees.

Lan Ruo said coldly: "Say, what are you hiding!" But I didn't want the little palace maid to bite Qiao'er's hand violently, Qiao'er was in pain, so she sent her hand away, and the little palace maid slammed into the pillar on the side, and Lan Ruo's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.

But he didn't want Tuoba Yue to move like a ghost, he slammed the cup lid in his hand towards the palace maid's knee, the force was very heavy, and before he hit the pillar, the palace maid fell to the ground, Tuoba Yue smiled: "This is Weiyang Palace, if you want to die, you tell the truth of the matter, and you will naturally be given death, why act in front of Your Majesty and this king?" ”

The palace maid's shoulders shook, and when she fell, something rolled out of her arms, Lu Chuan stepped forward to pick it up, and just saw a small piece of black and brown things, he put it in his hand, and felt a strong aroma coming to his nose, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, only smelled it so slightly, he could conclude that this thing was the same as the incense on He Xi's clothes.

He nodded at Tuoba Chen and said, "Your Majesty, this should be the Hehuan incense that the minister said." ”

Tuoba Chen's eyes signaled to Fuqing, and Fuqing immediately ordered someone to drag the palace maid to Tuoba Chen, and then threw it on the ground like throwing a rag, the palace maid's leg may have been injured by Tuoba Yue, and she could only lie on the ground and moan in pain.

He Xi pointed to the servant girl and said: "Your Majesty, it was she who planned to use black charcoal to dry her clothes with her concubine, and accidentally dumped black charcoal on her concubine's body, so the concubine had to change her clothes. ”

After that, He Xi stretched out his hand and pulled over his clothes that were originally placed on the table, pointed to the black stains on them to Tuoba Chen, and by the way, He Xi noticed the mezzanine inside the placket of the clothes, frowned, and then smiled and climbed up the eyebrows, Tuoba Chen saw her staring at the mezzanine, and said coldly: "Even if the incense on this dress and someone drugged you, but what do you say about this letter?" ”

He Xi seemed to suddenly have confidence, she pointed to the inner pocket that had been torn open and said: "Your Majesty, although this cloth looks like an ordinary white cloth, it feels delicate and smooth, if the concubine is not mistaken, it should be snow satin woven in Jiangnan, a batch is worth thousands of gold, and it is priceless." There is no such snow satin in the palace of the concubines, and this silk thread is also a precious silk thread. ”

He Xi pointed them out one by one, Fuqing hurriedly took the things in He Xi's hand, he carefully rubbed the fabric, and then looked at the yarn closely, and then said to Tuoba Chen: "Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed snow satin and silk thread." ”

"I remember that both things are common in the Queen's Palace." Tuoba Chen suddenly said lightly, but Lan Ruo didn't dare to act rashly this time.

She hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must be someone framing the concubine, Your Majesty's character of the concubine is very clear, if it is really the concubine's doing, why leave so many clues." ”

Qiao'er also knelt down with Lan Ruo and cried: "Your Majesty, there are many maids and servants in Weiyang Palace, since someone can do things on the clothes in the warehouse, it is not surprising that he stole some snow satin and silk thread by the way, Your Majesty must believe in Niangniang." ”
