Xie Lingrong knew that Jiang Wan and Jiang Che had a conflict and left the palace angrily, thinking that Jiang Wan was upset with herself, so she was like this. She couldn't rest assured that Jiang Huan could not be relieved, so she asked An Ran to take Jiang Wan to the palace.

"Don't be angry with the emperor. In the end, it's you who is unlucky. Fourth sister, this palace knows that you are holding grievances for my sister, but in fact, I don't care about these anymore. You should also know the status of Concubine Yan in the emperor's heart. It's just that Bengong never expected that the person who poisoned the eldest princess and framed Bengong was actually her. On weekdays, the palace has never seen her compete for anything, and the concubines in the harem have no chance to find an opportunity to frame her. Unexpectedly, she was the one who hid the deepest. ”

"Her good plan to kill two birds with one stone is really clever. Queen, how can I let her stay at large like this? ”

"What if not? I didn't know that Concubine Yan did this, and based on what Linlang said, the emperor would definitely not be convinced. So, how? ”

Jiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "Queen, can you cooperate with me, I have a plan." ”

"How do you want this palace to cooperate with you?"

"I'm afraid that the queen doesn't want to do this kind of thing."

Xie Lingrong looked puzzled, and then said, "If it is not too much, this palace can also help you." Anyway, this palace doesn't want Concubine Yan to be so good. When, she may come again to harm Bengong or Xiuze. ”

"That's fine. Queen, let's go out for a walk, it's very stuffy in the house. ”

Xie Lingrong didn't know why, but he still followed Jiang Wan out of Fengyi Pavilion.

Jiang Wan already had a goal, seemingly unintentionally, but very intentionally led Xie Lingrong to a certain place.

"Princess, the palace in front of you is where Concubine Yan is, don't you want to take this palace there?"

"The queen is smart. It's better to ask the queen to talk to Concubine Yan, it's best to let her walk around with you, and I'll go in and do some errands. ”

"Fourth sister, this is the palace, don't mess around. At this time, if you are discovered, the emperor will not believe what you say. Xie Lingrong couldn't help but worry, she and Jiang Che had already reached this point, so it didn't matter. It's just that I don't want to affect Jiang Wan because of myself.

"Don't worry, the queen, I'm doing things safely. Even if I find out, I'll find the right reason. Now ask the queen to come out. ”

Xie Lingrong looked at Jiang Wan and said, "It's not difficult for this palace to find Concubine Yan to come out for a walk, you have to be careful in everything." ”

"Queen, don't worry."

Jiang Wan waited on the side, looking at the palace gate. Xie Lingrong walked over, and after about a quarter of an hour, Xie Lingrong came out, accompanied by Ruan Shunhua and Cui'er.

Xie Lingrong is the queen after all, Jiang Che no longer favors her, she is still the lord of the six palaces. Ruan Shunhua will not be stupid enough to get along with her on the surface.

Seeing Xie Lingrong and Ruan Shunhua walking away, Jiang Wan was as light as a swallow and turned over and entered the palace.

——

As Ruan Shunhua expected, within a day, Guan Lisheng brought Cui'er to Jiang Che.

"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor."

"The palace maid Linlang said that you bought her with money at that time, and then poisoned the eldest princess, but is there such a thing?"

Cui'er hurriedly knelt there and said, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged. How dare a slave do such a thing? What's more, Niangniang often mentions the eldest princess to the slave maid in the palace, and always says that the eldest princess is kind to her, but she can't do anything to the eldest princess, and always wants to repay the eldest princess. The slave knew that the eldest princess was the benefactor of the mother, so how could she poison the eldest princess? What's more, who is the eldest princess, the slave maid has heard of it, how can the slave maid have the courage and brains to harm the eldest princess? This kind of lying should also be reasonable. In fact, when the slave maid saw Linlang, it was only when the mother went to ask the queen to say goodbye, and the slave maid never said anything to her. I don't know why Linlang framed the slave. ”

"You're telling the truth?" Jiang Che looked at Cui'er suspiciously.

Cui'er immediately said, "The slave doesn't dare to lie to the emperor. Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is clearly that someone wants to frame our mother. The emperor, Niangniang has always been favored by the emperor, and she has long been a thorn in the side of many people. But Niangniang never offends people on weekdays, and she never causes trouble in the palace, so others probably can't find a chance. This time, I don't know what's wrong, but I picked up the matter of the eldest princess. The emperor must be aware of it, don't let people wronged our mother! ”

Jiang Che couldn't help but think that if this matter was mentioned by someone else, then Jiang Che must have believed Cui'er's words and felt that someone was deliberately trying to frame Ruan Shunhua. Although Ruan Shunhua is well protected by himself in the palace, the more he is like this, the more he will be jealous.

But now the person who started this incident is her aunt. If Jiang Wan didn't have any basis, she wouldn't have identified it as Ruan Shunhua. What's the secret here? Is what Jiang Wan said right, or did Jiang Wan have some misunderstanding about Ruan Shunhua?

Jiang Che looked at Cui'er, and he didn't know whether the palace maid in front of him was telling the truth or a lie. So he needs to check the authenticity.

"I think you're hiding something from me. I see that what Linlang said is reasonable and well-founded, and it doesn't seem to be fake. Instead, you pushed things off. Come on, send it to the prison, let people use some means, I want to listen to your truth. ”

Cui'er was directly frightened and said, "Your Majesty, what the slave said is true, the slave didn't lie!" ”

But Jiang Che didn't listen to anything, and let people pull Cui'er into the prison.

Cui'er suffered a lot inside, but she gritted her teeth and insisted that she didn't do anything.

In the evening, Guan Lisheng said to Jiang Che, "Your Majesty, Cui'er has died of dizziness in the prison several times. What should this be? ”

"She still didn't say anything?"

"She still said that what she said was the truth, and someone wanted to harm Concubine Yan's mother."

Jiang Che said, "Either she is telling the truth, or she is loyal to Concubine Yan." Guan Lisheng, which do you think is more likely? ”

On one side is Jiang Huan, on the other side is Ruan Shunhua, both sides are actually Jiang Che's heart, Guan Lisheng did not dare to make judgments, so he said, "The old slave can't figure out this matter." But according to the old slave's understanding of the eldest princess, she rarely wronged others. ”

"You mean, in fact, what my aunt said about this matter may be true."

"The old slave is just guessing, and he is not sure."

Jiang Che thought for a moment and said, "Don't let Cui'er come out today, let's talk about it tomorrow." You ordered someone to lock Cui'er and Linlang together and listen to what they had to say. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cui'er was beaten with only half a life left, and was rudely thrown into the cell, her eyes were slightly open, and her whole body was in pain and she couldn't move. And Ling Lan was sitting in the corner at first, thinking about when Jiang Wan would save her, and thinking about the children at home, whether they were hungry or crying. It wasn't until Cui'er was carried in that Ling Lan came back to her senses.

She got up and walked up to Cui'er, looked at her and said, "It's you." ”

Cui'er looked at Ling Lan and rolled her eyes disdainfully.

Ling Lan said, "It's all you, if you hadn't looked for me at the beginning, I wouldn't have lived so long without seeing the light." Now you've been retributed, and you've come in, haven't you? ”

Cui'er said, "You don't say these things, I never let you harm the eldest princess, you just want to frame me, and then frame our mother." The emperor will not be fooled. I told the emperor everything I had to say, and he would definitely believe me. ”

Ling Lan suddenly felt funny, "If the emperor believes in you, how could he lock you up here and beat you like this?" It is clear that the emperor does not believe your words and thinks that you have something to hide. What has been done is done, and it will not be hidden forever. ”

"You man, our mother has never offended you. Did you accept the benefits of the queen or the princess, and you had to frame our mother? The emperor loves us so much, he will never believe what you say. Besides, if the emperor really believes, he won't lock you up here, and our mother won't be safe and sound now. I look at you, let's think about your situation. No matter how this matter ends, if you admit that you poisoned the eldest princess, the emperor will never let you go. I saw how the queen and the princess saved you. ”

Being said by Cui'er like this, Ling Lan was also a little worried. But she remembered that Jiang Wan came in to find her not long ago, which gave her some confidence. Now only when Ruan Shunhua's crime is confirmed, can she be regarded as a meritorious report, and there is still a glimmer of life in that way. So Ling Lan said, "I know, what I said is a little weak. But I also expected this to happen, so I kept a hand. I didn't spend all the gold and silver jewelry you gave me back then, but I still kept some of them. I'm just so that one day if you calculate it, I can keep it for myself. I haven't taken out those things yet, don't force me to hand them over to the emperor. At that point, your mother will have nothing to hide. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about. Don't say these things to frighten me. ”

"Really? If you don't remember, you can go to the lady and ask. Perhaps the emperor rewarded her, she remembered it more clearly. ”

Cui'er had some doubts in her heart, after so much time had passed, she was a little unsure.

I heard Ling Lan say again, "If you think of something, let Concubine Yan come to me in person." I have something to say to her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been in jail. But everything is discussed, and if she can find a way to release me, I will never give it to the emperor. But this time, I don't believe you anymore, and only when she comes to tell me in person can I show her sincerity. ”

Cui'er deliberately did not respond to Linglan's words.

On the second day, according to Jiang Che's instructions, Cui'er was released, and it was Ling Lan's turn to be tortured. Jiang Che also wants to see if Ling Lan will change her words under torture.

After returning to the palace, Ruan Shunhua saw Cui'er's appearance, and hurriedly ordered someone to help her lie down on the soft couch.

"Mother, slaves don't dare to ......"

"Don't get in the way, you also suffered such a crime for the sake of this palace."

Cui'er gave Ruan Shunhua a look, and Ruan Shunhua ordered everyone to retreat. Cui'er immediately said, "Niangniang, something is wrong. This Linlang still has something in her hand that can prove that I made her poison, and she doesn't want to take it out now, so she just waits for you to come over. If the mother can save her out, she will not take it out again. If she can't, she will hand it over to the emperor. ”

"How come there is something so important that you don't even remember?" Ruan Shunhua looked at Cui'er with cold eyes.

Cui'er said, "At that time, this Linlang was very greedy for money, and the slave was afraid that she would not be moved, so she gave her some valuable jewelry." The slave and maid probably forgot that there was something given to you by the emperor in it. Mother, how is this good? ”

"She's going to ask Hongu to find her herself?"

"Yes. Do you remember what was missing? ”

Ruan Shunhua was also a little uncalm at once, and said, "The emperor has rewarded this palace with so many things, how can this palace remember to come over." If you did take some at the time, this palace wouldn't care. ”

Cui'er said, "What the emperor gave to Niangniang, if it is unique, it will suffer." If it's just some ordinary jewelry, then it's okay to be sure that it's not a mother. ”

"Unique?" Ruan Shunhua thought for a moment and said, "Bengong has remembered something that has been put aside by Bengong. Hongu didn't throw it, but he didn't think about wearing it. I'm going to take a look at this one. ”

Ruan Shunhua walked to the dresser, the bottom layer of a dressing box, and Ruan Shunhua pulled out the drawer. She flipped through it, suddenly surprised, and then flipped through it several more times.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"There's something missing here in the main palace. If the emperor sees that thing, he will definitely know that it belongs to the palace. ”

Cui'er was also a little panicked for a while, "What is Niangniang?" What can be done now? This Linlang won't really be given to the emperor, right? ”

Ruan Shunhua said, "Since she didn't hand it over to the emperor, she naturally has other plans." At the beginning, she was willing to poison the eldest princess for money. Presumably she is a money-grubbing person. Today, this palace can also buy her with these things. The queen and the princess must have given her a lot of benefits and made her stand up. That Hongu only gave her more benefits. ”

"Niangniang, are you going to find Linlang? Will there be fraud in this? ”

"I can't care so much about it. Linlang will definitely not risk her life for money, so what she said to you is still credible. The previous events must have made her wary, so she asked Hongu to go in person. As long as Hongu tricks her into taking out that thing, then Hongu can ignore her life or death. Once she is dead, who else will testify against this palace? ”

"Niangniang, I'm afraid the slave won't be able to accompany you."

"You can go to the palace yourself. In this prison, there are still people in this palace who can use it. ”
