Everyone looked at it, but saw a figure with a white thorn hibiscus pattern picking up the bead curtain Shi Shiran walked in, and saluted the emperor and others, "Concubine Jiang Jieyu See Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Concubine Jin!" ”

The emperor had already heard her previous words, and knew that she was here to exonerate Qingyun, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up, and asked gently: "You just said that Concubine Jin is the wronged murderer, but there is someone else, do you know who it is?" ”

Jiang Jieyu smiled softly and said softly: "Bring it up!" ”

I saw a little eunuch in Tsing Yi covered in blood being buckled to the ground with his shoulders on his shoulders, staring at the queen with resentment.

The queen saw this person staring at her so resentfully, and secretly felt bad in her heart, but at the same time, she was also very puzzled why this person hated herself so much, and suddenly she remembered something, her heart jumped violently, and her phoenix eyes were full of panic.

"Your Majesty! Saffron is a medicine department pharmacy that has records to be found, and ordinary people will not receive this kind of medicine, this is the eunuch who is responsible for recording the medicines received by each palace in the pharmacy, Chang Fu! ”

Jiang Jieyu pointed to the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and looked at the emperor softly.

"Last night he suddenly ran into the palace of the concubine covered in blood and shouted for help, fortunately Banxia found it to help him stop the bleeding, and then he woke up and said that the queen wanted to kill him, and after careful questioning, he learned that the queen had ordered someone to receive some saffron in his hand!"

"This morning, the concubine learned that Sister Xiangfu Gongde almost had a miscarriage, and she was afraid that there was something related to the two, so she immediately brought him over!"

"Is that the case?" Nangong Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, and his cold gaze slashed at the queen like a knife, and asked repeatedly: "Empress, is there such a thing?" ”

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't, the concubine doesn't know this eunuch at all!" The queen hurriedly denied it.

The eunuch in Tsing Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly sneered lowly, and his narrow eyes were full of gloom.

"Why is the queen so afraid if she doesn't know the slave? The slave has promised the queen to destroy the booklet, and also promised to swallow the saffron given to Miss Du Ruo in her stomach, why does the mother refuse to let go of the slave, she has to kill the slave! ”

"You talk nonsense! Hongu doesn't know you at all! Someone dragged this servant who slandered the palace down and beat him to death! The willow eyebrows on the flamboyant face were upside down, the sharp phoenix eyes flew violently, and the queen's angry face was full of murderous intent everywhere.

"Is the queen trying to kill her?" A cold sound that almost froze bones burst came out of Nangong Ling's mouth.

In a panic, the queen stared at Nangong Mausoleum in fear, and kept shaking her head in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, it's not like this, it's this slave who wronged the concubine!" How can Your Majesty listen to the words of a servant? ”

"Your Majesty! If it was really the queen who ordered someone to take the saffron, how could she put it in the pastry sent by Concubine Jin unknowingly? The palace people in Fengluan Palace don't seem to have had any contact with Jiahe Palace in the past few days! Besides, this servant may have been instructed to deliberately slander the queen? ”

Mama Li, who had been standing behind the queen, stretched out her hand and gently helped the queen, and asked calmly and calmly.

"If there is no contact with Jiahe Palace, is there no contact with Xiangfu Palace?" Qingyun suddenly remembered the little palace maid who often entered Fengluan Palace for the first time before, and asked coldly at the right time.

When a little palace maid in the corner heard this, she couldn't help but shake her body, and then buried her head deadly.

At this moment, Wang An walked in quickly, thinking that Fang Cai's search and questioning already had some eyebrows, and he bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty! The old slave found a bag of unused saffron powder in the maid's room of the first palace, which was verified to be the room of the palace maid's star curtain. ”

Hearing this, Xing Curtain's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been wronged!" ”

"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it!" Without waiting for Nangong Ling to speak, Wang An had already reprimanded first, "Tell me who instructed you to murder the fetus in Concubine De's womb!" ”

"No, no, no ......" Xing Curtain cried and kept sobbing, a little face was as white as paper, trembling like chaff, but he still refused to let go of his mouth and admit it.

"Speak quickly!" Wang An asked stubbornly.

The star curtain really couldn't bear the eyes full of coercion and persecution in the room, and the invisible pressure and panic forced her scalp to tingle, her chest was stagnant, and she almost couldn't breathe.

She suddenly broke up and slammed into the red-painted pillar in the hall, but fortunately the moon was quick and grabbed the back of her coat, so that she would not be spattered with blood and die on the spot.

"Tell me who instructed you?" Nangong Ling was obviously impatient, and there was a hint of impatience in his angry voice.

"It was the concubine who asked her to do this!" A faint voice like a mosquito came from the purple gauze tent, and it turned out that Concubine De had woken up.

She gently lifted the curtain and wanted to get out of bed, but she was too weak to stand up, and the star curtain hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

"Concubine De, don't come down if you don't feel well!" There was a hint of worry in the emperor's eyes, and there was some anxiety in his voice.

"Your Majesty, it was the concubine who asked the star curtain to mix saffron powder into the pastries sent by Concubine Jin, the purpose was to frame Concubine Jin's sister!" Although Concubine De's voice was small, the words she said shocked the audience.

No one would have imagined that this was the case, and it was unbelievable that Concubine De would rather sacrifice her child in order to frame Concubine Jin.

"Why? Don't you even care about your own children in order to frame me? Is it worth it? ”

Confused, disappointed, heartbroken, and staring at Concubine De's face with burning eyes in disbelief, Qingyun approached Concubine De step by step, and questioned her excitedly.

Concubine De looked at her with apologetic eyes, and then helplessly shed tears, and said in a trembling crying voice: "I don't want to, just ask who in the world would use their children's lives to frame her, and how much benefit is it to frame my sister and me?" ”

"Then why did you do that?" Gazing at Concubine De in disbelief, Qingyun suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Who forced you to do this?" ”

Concubine De didn't answer, just looked at the emperor's angry and disappointed face, crying inhuman.

"It was the queen mother who forced the mother to do it, and the queen mother threatened our mother's mother's family, saying that if the mother didn't do it, she would let Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and the ministers deal with Yang Shangshu." The star curtain stared at the queen angrily and gritted his teeth and said.

The queen stared at Concubine De coldly, and denied it loudly, "It's just a confession, and you slander this palace like this!" When did Hongu say such a thing! ”

The reason why she was so loud was because she concluded that Concubine De would never dare to betray her for the sake of her father's future, and that Concubine De's mother's family had been an Achilles' heel in her hands for so many years.

Who knew that Concubine De suddenly stopped crying, staring at her fiercely, and the thick hatred in her eyes stared at the queen's scalp and her heart was stunned.

"Queen Mother, if you hadn't coerced me with my mother's clan, how could I give up the life of the imperial heir in my womb to marry Concubine Jin, I have no grudge against her, why should I do this! It's you who have a grudge against her! ”

"I knew you wouldn't let me give birth to this child, and I didn't want this child to be killed by you like the previous two, so I quietly concealed the news of pregnancy, but who knew that it was discovered by the people you sent! Hehehe......"

Concubine De smiled helplessly, staring at the queen with her eyes, eager to stare at a piece of meat from the queen.

"You forced me to drink that bowl of cold medicine, but you didn't expect this kid to escape with his life. So you came up with another perfect poisonous plan, which could not only get rid of the flesh and bones in my belly, but also blame your enemy, Concubine Jin, so you forced me to put saffron powder in the pastries that Concubine Jin sent to frame her! ”

In the end, Concubine De's voice was almost torn, her pale and bloodless face looked hideous because of anger, and she stared at the queen with her eyes, and the red blood in her eyes could almost be filled with bright blood.

"You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! This is slander! Hearing this, the queen could no longer calm down, and trembled with her lips pulling her throat and making desperate quibbles.

"Your Majesty! If it weren't for the queen's compulsion, why would the concubine hide that she was pregnant before! How could the concubine be so ruthless and not hesitate to kill her own child to marry Concubine Jin! What kind of hatred do I have with Concubine Jin, and I want to frame her at the cost of my parents and children! ”

"The queen is already vicious, think about how many imperial heirs in this harem have been poisoned by her, otherwise why has every concubine been pregnant since His Majesty ascended the throne and ended in miscarriage, and the huge harem could not give birth to a child, all thanks to this poisonous woman!"

Concubine De was determined to bring down the queen, so she got out of bed and knelt in front of the emperor without caring for her weak body, and cried out miserably with a white face:

"Your Majesty! The concubine knew that she deserved death for the crime of committing the crime against the emperor's heir, but even if the concubine died, she would never allow the queen to harm His Majesty's imperial heir like this again! Even if you want to cut me with a thousand knives, I will expose the queen's crimes! ”

Seeing that she was so excited, Nangong Ling was afraid of hurting the child in her womb, so she quickly helped her up and let her lie on the bed.

When he turned around, his cold face was already filled with a strong murderous aura and hatred, he believed all this that Concubine De said, or he had already known it in his heart, but he was forced to connive repeatedly under the pressure of the previous dynasty, which caused his harem to never give birth to a child again.

He looked at the queen coldly, the green tendons on his forehead were constantly beating violently because of the anger hidden in his heart, he gritted his teeth and coldly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "The queen plotted to kill the emperor's heir, take back the phoenix seal on the next day, live in Fengluan Palace, and can't leave the palace without a call!" ”

At the end of the will, the queen no longer had the strength to support her arrogant and majestic standing posture, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly drained of strength, and her expression was slumped on the ground in a trance.

A eunuch came forward to drag her out of the palace, but she suddenly came back to her senses, rushed over like crazy, grabbed the emperor's robe and cried out, "Your Majesty! The concubine knew that she was wrong! Ask Your Majesty to bypass the concubines! You can't abolish the concubine! No, I can't! ”

Indifferently and disgusted, he shook off the queen's hand, turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't drag her away yet!" ”

The four little eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to grab the queen and prevent her from rushing over again, but the queen's huge strength came from somewhere, and she broke free from their shackles like crazy, and roared madly:

"Let go! Let go of Hongu! Your Majesty! You can't abolish the concubines! No! No! Absolutely not...... If you want to abolish the concubines, the Queen Mother will never agree, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will never agree! ”

The air froze suddenly, and the hall was as silent as death. Everyone looked at the queen who looked crazy and angry and lost her mind in shock, they knew that the queen's words deeply pierced the unknown hidden pain in the emperor's heart, and trampled his majesty as an emperor under his feet.

Such words undoubtedly touched the emperor's scales, and a bucket of fire oil was suddenly added to his already angry heart, like an angry dragon spitting flames, and instantly erupted into a sky-shattering fire.

The broad and thick palm of the green tendons slammed on the table, and the porcelain plate and tea set on the table shook violently into the air, shattering and falling to the ground, Nangong Ling roared angrily: "Presumptuous! I want to see how the Queen Mother will protect a poisonous woman who poisons the emperor's heir! Come! Take it down! ”
