He Xi glanced at the hall as if unintentionally, Li Jingui was kneeling on the ground stupidly, holding the child in his arms.

Both of them were intact, without the slightest damage, but Li Jin's face was dirty, and a few strands of hair were scattered, hanging down on his shoulders, and the ends of his hair were curled, unevenly layered, remembering that Ruyi said that the sin slave was walking the water, and then he found the mother and son, so Li Jingui's mess must be the cause of the fire.

Although his thoughts turned a thousand times, He Xi did not show it at all on his face, and stepped forward and saluted: "I got up late today, and I didn't come to the queen's palace on time to say goodbye, and I also asked the queen to punish the concubines." ”

Lan Ruo smiled slightly, her eyes swept over Xu Qing'er's face, and then she looked at He Xi and said: "What is this said by Sister Xi, Your Majesty stayed in your palace yesterday, according to the convention, you can not come to my palace today to ask for peace, since you are here, what do you want to blame or not, get up quickly." ”

After that, he gave another seat, and then he looked at Li Jingui, who was kneeling downward, and said: "Before, this palace took pity on you, opened the net, and sent you to the criminal slave house, but you did not change your life, and dared to set fire to the palace, and took the lives of others as a mustard, it seems." This palace can't leave you today, and you will be executed with a cane with this wild seed who doesn't know who it is. Set an example! ”

Li Jingui didn't have the slightest wave on his face, as if he didn't feel that he was dying. She just pulled the child next to her and whispered something.

Lan Ruo was furious, Qiao'er looked at the waiters waiting on both sides, and said loudly: "What are you waiting for?" Don't pull it down yet! ”

"Wait, the queen is angry." He Xi saw that none of the palace concubines present dared to stand up and speak, and even Xu Qing'er, who was kind-hearted, hung her cheeks at this time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lan Ruo saw He Xi standing up to stop her, and she was cold: "What does Concubine Xi mean?" Do you still want to stop the palace from dealing with sinners? ”

He Xi was not afraid of Lan Ruo's majesty, but said lightly: "The concubine looks stupid when she sees this Li Jingui, this arson may not have been done by her, as for this child, if she is born with others, she should leave their lives." When the father of the child is found, he may be dealt with according to the law. ”

He Xi's sentences are all rules and calendars, but Lan Ruo can't refute it, but she must now choose to deal with the mother and son, if His Majesty knows, the consequences are unimaginable, she gave a look to Lan Xin next to her.

Lan Xin understood, although she didn't know what secrets these two people had, which could make Lan Ruo so jealous, and she couldn't wait to get rid of them as soon as possible.

But she still used silver armor to straighten her already meticulous sideburns, and said softly: "How can Sister Xi defend these shitty things, I heard that my sister has also exonerated the criminal slaves of the criminal slaves before, right?" ”

He Xi looked at his nose and nose, bowed his head respectfully, and looked very earnest, as if he couldn't understand the ridicule in Concubine Xi's words: "The concubine just thinks that this kind of judgment will damage the wisdom of the queen's mother, and there are obviously many doubts about this matter." ”

Lan Ruo slapped the table suddenly, so frightened that everyone in the hall suddenly fell to their knees, whether it was the concubines or the subordinates, their faces were all terrified, only He Xi, Lan Xin and Xu Qing'er were still sitting on the chairs, Lan Ruofeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "What?" Does Concubine Xi think that this palace is unfair? ”

He Xi said calmly: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare? This palace doesn't dare to see you, right, how about this palace seat for you? Lan Ruo had a sarcastic look on her face, and He Xi saw that she wanted to charge herself with one of the following crimes, so she had to kneel down respectfully, and said in a sincere tone: "The sincerity of the concubine can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth can be expressed, and I hope that the queen will calm her anger." ”

The eunuchs over there already wanted to drag Li Jingui down, but they didn't want Li Jingui's strength to be great, and they couldn't help her for a while, a palace man accidentally knocked down the child standing aside, the child was already unstable, and at this time he was hit hard, and he fell to the ground hard, he was in pain for a while, and he cried quietly.

The little cheeks were instantly filled with tears, his voice was not loud, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress his voice, He Xi looked back and saw that he was watching his mother with a blank face being dragged and pulled by many hideous people.

She couldn't bear it in her heart, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, hearing her child's cry, Li Jingui was more like crazy, lowered her head and bit the wrist of the person who was dragging her, the person was in pain, screamed and scolded to find death, so he raised his hand and hit Li Jingui's head fiercely, punching two punches, one punch and one punch fell, but Li Jingui did not let go at all, the man's arm was already bloody and blurred, Li Jingui's original white teeth were also stained red with blood, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, I can't tell whether it's the eunuch's or Li Jingui's.

When one of the eunuchs saw that Li Jingui was so stubborn, he had an idea, let go of the hand that was holding Li Jingui, walked to the side of the child who was already frightened, and with the strength of both hands, he lifted the child above his head and made a gesture to fall down.

Seeing this scene, Li Jingui's originally cloudy eyes flashed a trace of clarity, and then was replaced by fear and sadness, only to see that she let go of the man's arm, and then wanted to crawl in the direction of her child, but the person behind her dragged her out of the hall, Li Jingui opened her mouth and shouted loudly, but she didn't know how long she hadn't communicated with anyone, and the words she said were intermittent: "Return-return-me-child--囝——"

Every word slammed into He Xi's heart with weight, and she raised her face to look at the three people sitting on it, Lan Ruo, Lan Xin, and—and Xu Qing'er.

At this time, Xu Qing'er had delicate makeup on her face, and she also carefully lit Huadian between her eyebrows, obviously a familiar face, but He Xi only felt strange for a while, she couldn't help but think of the reckless girl who helped her come out in Chuxiu Palace before, she also grew up after all.

The child was still crying, his voice was faintly tearing at He Xi's reason, what should I do, what should I do?

"The concubine has arrived—" The eunuch's elongated voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Lan Ruo's expression moved, and he glanced at Qiao'er, and Qiao'er hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring people down, what kind of system is it to be so noisy!" ”

But I didn't want to, as soon as the words fell, I just saw a person flash in from the palace gate, wearing a palace dress with dark purple Fushou patterns, and the sideburns were just a sunken wood hairpin, and there were no other decorative items, only about forty looks, excellent maintenance, there was no trace of time on the face, but the face was expressionless, and the beautiful and delicate eyebrows and eyes were as if they were carved with a knife at this moment, revealing the despair and dead silence of the deep palace.

He Xi watched her walk up steadily, quickly leaned down, and greeted the concubines with a salute: The concubine is auspicious.

Concubine De was originally the concubine of the first emperor, the princess of Xiliang, cold and arrogant, but with the unique exotic customs of the Xiliang people in her appearance, she was deeply loved by the first emperor, the first emperor died, and the first queen went because of excessive sadness.

Nowadays, Concubine De is the most honorable person in the palace who has produced the queen, and because of the position of the nominal concubine, Rao is the queen, and she must be afraid of her.

Lan Ruo took a step forward and walked to the upper seat with his own hands, and when she passed by where He Xi was kneeling, Concubine De glanced at He Xi as if unintentionally, her eyes were as plain as water, and then she moved away, without a trace.

"Why did the concubine come here at this hour? If you want to concubine and Your Majesty, let the subordinates bring a letter, and the concubine and Your Majesty will go to Shoukang Palace to meet you. Lan Ruo had a humble smile on her face, like a filial and sensible daughter-in-law gossiping with her mother-in-law.

Qiao'er put a cup of hot tea in Concubine De's hand at the right time, and said smartly: "The queen also said that she dreamed of you a few days ago, and she has been talking about going to Shoukang Palace to visit the concubine Niangniang in the past few days, but she doesn't want the concubine Niangniang to come first, but she really has a heart." ”

Concubine De picked up the teacup, blew it lightly, took a sip gently, and then took the handkerchief handed over by Aunt Ruizhi on the side, and wiped it gently.

After listening to Qiao'er's words, she gently put down the cup in her hand, and the crisp sound of porcelain colliding was like thunder in Lan Ruo's ears.

"Oh? That's really a coincidence, a few days ago, the mourning family also had a dream, dreamed of the first emperor, complained to the mourning family that this heir was Lingding, he was very worried, the first emperor disappeared, only a small dragon was left at the feet of the mourning family, but it was weak and weak. Trapped in chains, dying. Concubine De seemed to really think of the first emperor, and she couldn't help but have a sad look on her face.

Lan Ruo's fingers were clasped tightly, but the smile on her face became more and more deferential and gentle: "The dream of the capital is the opposite, now that Concubine Xu Shu is pregnant and healthy, the concubine must be too worried." Besides, there are many sisters in this harem, and our calendar must be prosperous. ”

Concubine De didn't speak, but just glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Why am I so restrained when I come, get up." ”

The concubines got up softly and sat down in turn, but the air in this hall was even more solidified, and in front of the concubines, those people didn't dare to pull Li Jingui too blatantly.

"When I entered the palace just now, I saw the commotion in this palace, which didn't look like what a queen's palace should look like, tell the mourning family, what is going on?"
