All the concubines fell to the ground on their knees and knelt down in front of Emperor Yong'an. Even Empress Zhu got up and knelt at Emperor Yong'an's side.

Emperor Yong'an's eyes burned with rage, and he pointed to the concubines in the first hall and said angrily, "As the high-class concubines in this harem, you don't think about how to raise the emperor's heirs every day, share the worries of the queen, and think about those dirty deeds that harm others all day long!" One after another, you yourselves say, from the time I ascended the throne to the present, how many imperial heirs have been lost in your hands! ”

After listening to Emperor Yong'an's words, there was no one who did not tremble. In this harem, I don't want to be calculated by others, so I must calculate others. Which of them above the concubine position did not step on someone else's corpse.

"Boom~"

There was a thunderstorm outside the Changxia Palace, as if it was catering to what Emperor Yong'an said, and it was also as if he wanted to act for heaven and slash the people who had repeatedly caused trouble in the harem under the thunder.

All the concubines were frightened by this thunder, and their faces were all white.

After a long time, Empress Zhu looked up at Emperor Yong'an, who had gradually calmed down her anger, tears rippled, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, don't be angry." ”

All the concubines said in unison, "Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger!" ”

Emperor Yong'an looked down at Empress Zhu, sighed, stretched out his hand to help Empress Zhu up, and said, "The Empress is not wrong, please get up." ”

A tear slipped down from the corner of Empress Zhu's eyes, and Empress Zhu cried, "The concubine is incompetent. The concubine is a mother-in-law, but she can't protect the concubines. Concubines, concubines......" Queen Zhu stubbornly knelt on the ground, hid her face and wept, "Your Majesty, concubines, it's painful......"

Emperor Yong'an's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he helped Empress Zhu up, "The Empress is merciful." ”

Empress Zhu lay in the arms of Emperor Yong'an, crying softly, as if the child who slipped from Cao Guifei's womb was really her blood and bones.

At this moment, Cao Guifei's personal palace maid Mo Liu took Imperial Physician Liu out of Cao Guifei's bedroom and knelt in front of Emperor Yong'an.

There were still tears in the corners of Mo Liu's eyes, and there was no blood on his delicate little face.

Emperor Yong'an pushed Empress Zhu away from him, turned to Imperial Physician Liu and said, "Say!" ”

Imperial Physician Liu raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice, "If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Cao's life is no longer in danger, but she can't conceive anymore." ”

As soon as Imperial Physician Liu's words fell, Empress Zhu covered her face and screamed, and Mo Liu sobbed even more.

Emperor Yong'an's already suppressed fire surged up again, walked in front of Lingxi in a few steps, pinched Lingxi's chin, gritted his teeth and said, "I have Huangying, you are guilty!" ”

Lingxi's chin was grabbed by Emperor Yong'an, his eyes were filled with tears in pain, and he looked at the anger in Emperor Yong'an's eyes, and replied tremblingly, "Concubine, I don't know my guilt!" ”

Emperor Yong'an exerted his hand, and he let out a painful sound.

"One by one, one by one, all in front of you, how do you want to quibble?"

Lingxi looked at the man in front of him who had said that he had protected the safety of their mother and son, and said that he had her in his heart, and cried, "Your Majesty, the concubine is trying to quibble. But can the emperor give his concubines a chance to quibble? The concubine was called to the Changxia Palace, and she is still confused and ignorant. Even if the emperor wants to condemn the concubine, does he want the concubine to die? ”

Emperor Yong'an let go of Lingxi's chin and stood up, turned around and didn't want to look at Lingxi again, and said indifferently, "You're right, even if you die, you have to let you die clearly." ”

Lingxi kowtows in thanksgiving.

Sitting on the ground of the Changxia Palace, Lingxi looked at the servants in the first hall and pointed out her various evil deeds.

It turned out that Xiao Linzi was not sent out of the Yilan Hall by the spirit rhino because he was useless. Three years ago, Lingxi laid out Xiao Linzi's chess piece, and gave Xiao Linzi a lot of silver every month, so that he could wait for orders in the Yeting Palace.

Here, two palace maids stood up, and a eunuch testified, with a nose and eyes, and said how Xiao Dezi, the big eunuch in front of Ying Concubine Niangniang, gave Xiao Linzi two silver taels every time. The explanation of the original situation made the concubines kneeling in the Changxia Palace feel as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Xiao Dezi and Qiaozhu had already been arrested by Emperor Yong'an, and knelt next to Lingxi.

Xiao Dezi loudly denied that he had sent money to Xiao Linzi according to Lingxi's instructions, but after only saying two words, he was ordered by Queen Zhu to slap his mouth.

The bamboo strip with two fingers wide and half a finger thick was drawn on Xiao Dezi's mouth, and the blood came out at once, the teeth fell out at the second time, and the little Dezi was speechless after the third time. Qiaozhu watched the little eunuch beat Xiao Dezi, his body trembled vigorously, and tears couldn't stop flowing down his face.

After the twenty palms were beaten, Xiao Dezi's mouth was full of blood and was thrown on the ground in the Changxia Palace, and the person was already confused.

With the acquiescence of Empress Zhu, the crimes committed by Lingxi were continued by the palace maids and eunuchs.

One day, Cao Guifei met the concubine Niangniang, who was receiving the favor of the saint, in the imperial garden, and kindly asked Xiao and the Empress Dowager what kind of flowers she liked in the past. Concubine Ying immediately lowered her face and accused Cao Guifei of implying that she was from a low background and humiliating herself.

So, the embarrassed and angry Ying Concubine Niangniang took advantage of Cao Guifei's pregnancy and placed Xiaolinzi in the Changxia Palace when the palace allocated palace people to the Changxia Palace. The purpose is to let Cao Guifei have the life of the dragon heir in her womb.

Here, Mo Liu, the personal palace maid next to Cao Guifei, came out to testify, and there was also a Rou Guifei who sighed in a low voice, "Cao Guifei speaks more straightforwardly on weekdays, but her heart is good." Concubine, how can you be so vicious? ”

Then, Xiao Linzi knelt on the ground and began to cry, telling how Concubine Ying Niangniang instructed him to put crab roe in the fish and shrimp that Cao Guifei ate every day. A little a day, mixed in it does not taste good. Over time, it will hurt the dragon heir in Cao Gui's abdomen.

The more Lingxi listened, the cooler her heart became, she always thought that she was cautious enough, but who knew that she still fell into someone else's trap unconsciously. It ended so thoroughly, and the human and material evidence were all there, and she couldn't defend herself for half a point.

After Xiao Linzi finished talking about Lingxi's various crimes, he turned around and cried to Lingxi with a handful of snot and tears, "Concubine Yingniang, if the slave only knew that there was today, he would definitely not help you do that hurtful thing." Now that the matter has been revealed, you must save the life of the slave! ”

Lingxi sat on the ground of the Changxia Palace, let out a sneer, and finally burst out laughing uncontrollably, tears rolling down.

"Ying Concubine, you are bold!" Empress Zhu suddenly shouted, "You have committed such a crime, and you can still laugh!" ”

Lingxi looked at the concubines who were looking at the palace, and cried and laughed, "What are you looking at?" I am only you in the future. Do you think you can sit back and relax when you're in a high position? Do you think that if you have a son with you, you will be able to sleep well at night? Hehe," Lingxi sneered, "I haven't done anything wrong, and I've been so calculated, how do you think you will be better than me?" ”

Seeing that Lingxi ignored her, Queen Zhu slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Concubine Ying, you are presumptuous!" The evidence of the crime is in front of you, don't you still admit your guilt! ”

Lingxi wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and glared back at Empress Zhu, his eyes full of murder, "I don't admit guilt!" I didn't do it, why should I confess?! ”

Lingxi turned to Emperor Yong'an, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said desolately, "The emperor doesn't believe in me either, does he?" ”

Emperor Yong'an, who had his back to Lingxi, only threw down his sleeves and didn't say a word.

Lingxi threw away his handkerchief that had been soaked with tears, bent down to take Concubine Xin's, wiped the tears from her face, and said to Queen Zhu, "Queen Mother, if the concubine shouts grievances, can you give the concubine a chance to redress her grievances?" ”

Seeing that Queen Zhu was about to refuse, Lingxi said, "Queen Mother, this is related to the life of the concubine." For your sake, as the mother of the five princes, you will give your concubines one last chance. ”

said, regardless of whether Empress Zhu agreed or not, she said, "Xiao Dezi does give Xiao Linzi a lot of silver taels every month, but it has nothing to do with me. When Xiao Dezi first came to my palace to wait, he picked up a pair of mutton fat jade earrings. He was greedy at the time, so he took the earrings to bet with Xiao Linzi, and finally lost to Xiao Linzi. Later, when I looked for this earring, Xiao Dezi wrote an IOU and redeemed it from Xiao Linzi. Since then, this little forest has been like a wolf that can't be fed, and Yueyue has asked Xiao Dezi for money. Xiao Dezi had no money, so he borrowed money everywhere. There are the servants of the entire Guangyang Palace and Yongle Palace to testify to this, if the queen doesn't believe it, you can ask casually. ”

Xiang Er, who knelt beside Xian Gui Concubine, kowtowed and said, "Queen Mother, the slave and maid can testify to this matter." Xiao Dezi borrowed silver from the slave maid from the fourth year of Yong'an, borrowed this month and repaid it next month, borrowed it again in the next month, and repaid it again, borrowing more than 30 taels in total. At first, the slave asked him and he refused to say, but later he only said that he owed Xiao Linzi a gambling debt. ”

Concubine Rou whispered, "Concubine Xian has always been good friends with Concubine Ying, and even the slaves are so close, Zhen'er is a good sister." ”

Lingxi said to Emperor Yong'an's back, "Your Majesty, there are thousands of servants in the palace. It will not be that everyone will be silenced and afraid to speak, and this matter will be cleared up as soon as it is investigated. ”

As soon as Empress Zhu was about to speak, Emperor Yong'an waved his hand to Gonggong Feng and said, "Check!" ”

With just one word, the faces of Queen Zhu and Concubine Rou changed.

Seeing Emperor Yong'an's squeak, Lingxi walked in front of Cao Guifei's personal palace maid Mo Liu, leaned forward and asked, "You said that your mother and the palace met in the imperial garden, so it won't be just you, me and her, right?" Who are the others? What slaves did your mother follow, and what slaves did I follow? ”.！

Mo Liu saw the trace of killing intent in Lingxi's eyes, and couldn't help but tremble, and said in a trembling voice, "That day in the imperial garden, Cao Gui Concubine Niangniang only brought slaves, Xia Zhi, and Xia Ye. Concubine Ying brought the lotus leaf girl and Xiao Dezi with her. ”

Natsu Zhi Natsuba, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded repeatedly, indicating that they were by her side that day.

Lingxi continued to laugh and said, "The memory of this palace is not very good, when did your mother meet this palace?" ”

"In April, the peonies in the peony garden are in full bloom. Concubine Cao went to the peony garden to enjoy the flowers, and happened to meet the warbler concubine who also went to enjoy the flowers. Mo Liu was afraid that Lingxi would ask something again, so he hurriedly said, "The slave and maid can't remember exactly what day it is, but it must be April, because the peony flowers have just bloomed at that time, and the slave and maid have cut a few hairpins for the mother." ”

"Are you sure it's April?"

"Slave is sure!"

"Bold!" Lingxi suddenly slapped Mo Liu's face, knocked Mo Liu to the ground, and said angrily, "In April, your mother was already pregnant with the dragon heir for more than three months, not to mention that she didn't even go to the queen mother to say goodbye, even if she wanted to go to the peony garden to relax, how could she only follow you three minions by her side!" "It's finally time to catch up, and it's been a lot of work to come up with chapter names
