There are several pots of crape myrtles in the inner room. This flower always blooms in the hot season, and although each flower is not large, it is full of branches, and it makes people feel very good to watch.

Seeing that the concubine was in a bad mood, Ruan Er hurriedly shook her head, and her tone was sincere: "The concubine didn't mean that. I just think that the concubine doesn't have to be so impatient. The emperor treats his mother best. As for Concubine Liao, it is rare for her to accompany the emperor once, and she has had an imperial heir before, if the emperor cares about her, he will not wait until this time. Some things are just done for the people in the harem. ”

Cang Lian closed her eyes, and it took a long time to calm down: "It's okay to be someone else, but this palace is not happy with the queen's people approaching the emperor." ”

"The concubine has suffered many times before, and she has suffered the secret loss of the queen's mother. For example, the concubine likes flowers, so she was placed by the lake and caused the concubine to fall into the water, and she could hardly keep Zizhou. Another example is that the queen thinks that the concubine is an eyesore, and the concubine is left in her bedroom by the emperor, and in the name of raising a fetus, she is not allowed to take half a step in the dormitory all day long. That's it, even the sisters of the harem came to visit the concubines, and the queen didn't allow them, saying that they were afraid of disturbing the concubines' health, but in fact, they were not afraid that the concubines would make friends with them, and a few more people would help the concubines fight against her in the future. At this point, she lowered her head and looked sad. The concubine is because she can't hold her breath and always likes to bump into the queen's mother, so she will be bruised all over her body. ”

"I can't complain that you gave birth to Zizhou, and the queen is so eager to send him to the palace. One is to alleviate the urgent needs of the palace and please the emperor. Second, suppress your arrogance. Three, so that the concubines of this harem have a taboo. Even if she has never given birth to an imperial heir, as long as she says a word, anyone's child can be at the mercy of anyone. ”

Ruan Er nodded again and again: "What the noble concubine said is true, this is the wrist of the queen mother." Therefore, the concubine thought that if she didn't do it, if she wanted to do it, she would have to make the queen have no room to turn over. The concubine dared to say something from her heart, even if you used means to invite the emperor tonight and suppressed Concubine Liao. But tomorrow, the queen will let others seduce the emperor, can you prevent a person, can you prevent it once, can you still prevent it for a lifetime? And as soon as the number of times increases, the emperor himself will get bored, and it is inappropriate to hurt your relationship with the emperor in vain. It's better to start with the queen. Those who befriend the queen, once they lose their backers, they will naturally not dare to oppose you again. When the time comes, the entire harem will only be able to say what you say, which is an excellent thing. ”

These words speak to the heart of pity. Her eyes lit up, and the corners of her lips finally smiled. "Concubine Ying really has the heart of this palace."

"It's Niangniang, you don't dislike the stupidity of the concubine." Ruan Er echoed with a smile: "Niangniang is willing to give the concubine the opportunity to be loyal to you, and the concubine will definitely not let you down." ”

"Okay." Cang Lian smiled slightly: "So, according to what you see, how should this palace suppress the queen now?" ”

"The concubine thinks that it is better to start with Concubine Min." Ruan Er lowered her voice and said, "Concubine Min pushed Concubine Mao down the triple building, and she must be held responsible. As long as the emperor orders to kill Concubine Min, it will be the heaviest slap in the face to the queen. ”

"But the queen is selfish." She said pityfully, "What if she refuses to speak for Concubine Min?" ”

"The concubine thinks that the queen will definitely help Concubine Min." Ruan Er gasped and said slowly: "Niangniang is also thirsty, why don't you go and make a cup of tea to moisten your throat first." ”

"No need." Cang Lian knew what she meant, so she called Jing Qiao: "There are some pastries in the kitchen, you can cook two bowls of hot milk tea and bring them together." ”

"Yes." Jingqiao knew that these two people were deliberately supporting themselves, but they didn't show it too much.

"Can you say it now?" When Cang Lian heard Jingqiao go away, she asked Concubine Ying.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the concubine secretly inquired, and the queen instructed the deputy hospital to judge Concubine Min to treat her injuries. also confessed that no matter how the torture was used, Concubine Min's life must be saved. If you don't believe me, just go to the torture chamber and see. In the final analysis, the queen just pretended not to care about this, but in fact, she must have helped Concubine Min find a way. What happened that night, Concubine Mao was unconscious, so naturally she couldn't speak. And she insisted that she saw that it was Concubine Min who pushed the noble concubine, as long as there was no new evidence, the queen mother naturally had no way to exonerate Concubine Min. If she persists for a few more days, Concubine Min will die if she can't keep it, and the queen won't have much time. The concubine thought that as long as she put a little more pressure on her, things would be easy. ”

"Someone." The concubine called out: "Go and check what the deputy court has been busy with these days?" I can help him too. ”

"Nope." Ruan Er hurriedly said: "It's better to let the concubine tell someone to do it." If there is any trace of this matter, it has nothing to do with the concubine. ”

"You really think about this palace. The heart is fine, too. Cang Lian nodded with satisfaction.

"The concubines can now settle down in the palace, and they are all taken care of by their mothers. The concubine will definitely do a good job of this for her mother. Ruan Er, very obediently, got up and saluted the concubine.

Cang Lian nodded gently: "That's it, you can sit down." Only this palace is with you, no need to be polite. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Ruan smiled and peeled a grape and brought it to the small plate in the concubine's hand. "The concubine will take a good look at these account books, and they will definitely be accounted for tomorrow morning. It's not early, so it's better to rest early. ”

"It's fine." Cang Lian didn't want to watch it for a long time, and when she said this, she couldn't help but be happy: "Then you can use some pastries and milk tea to deal with these things." Hongu went back to the room first. ”

"Congratulations to the mother." Soft Er watched her leave, and then sighed slightly. The feeling of looking up to people snorting is really uncomfortable. She carefully flipped through the accounting books in front of her, and when she heard footsteps outside, she didn't care.

However, Jingqiao looked outside for a long time, and didn't find anything wrong with Concubine Ying, so he came in with pastry milk tea.

After a few casual words, he withdrew and closed the door.

Ruan only weighed the whole thing in her heart, and the smile on her lips was cold and hard.

As soon as the sky was bright, Cen Muning was woken up by a knock on the door, took off her gauze and made it on her body, and then said, "Come in." ”

Qingli came in quickly, and his face was a little bad: "Queen Mother, last night the deputy court sentenced him to be attacked on the way back to the house, and the gangsters robbed him of his belongings and stabbed him. As soon as the palace door was opened, he sent a little apprentice to the palace to deliver a letter, afraid that he would not be able to enter the palace today. ”

"There's such a thing." Cen Muning had two doubts, first, who would attack Helian. Second, Helian has the ability to definitely not get hurt easily. He did this for another purpose. "Tell someone to go and tell the emperor, it is best to strengthen the vigilance of the imperial city, so as to prevent similar things from happening again."

"Yes." Qingli agreed but asked uneasily: "The deputy court sentenced that you can't enter the palace to take office, so where is Concubine Min's mother...... The slave always felt that this thing was for Concubine Min. Some people may have noticed that the deputy court judge would heal Concubine Min in the middle of the night. ”

"yes." Cen Muning smiled slightly: "Otherwise, could it be that Helian was too greedy for money to cause the gangsters to assassinate?" ”

"Some people can't take it anymore." As long as Qing Li thought of Cang Pity's face, he felt disgusted and disgusted. How did she pester her master to flatter her at the beginning, and how did she throw her arms on Chu Peiyuan. But Chu Peiyuan died in her hands, and she didn't care about the old feelings at all. "Niangniang has a countermeasure, why should she be heavy-handed to Concubine Min?"

"Naturally not." Cen Mooning smiled slightly: "Actually, last night, someone in the palace secretly went to the allergic concubine's mother's house. I believe that this morning in the court, the emperor has his own holy judgment. ”

Seeing the queen's confident appearance, Qingli was also relieved. "Then the slave will pass on someone to come in and wait for the mother to freshen up and put on makeup."

"Okay." Cen Mu nodded and smiled, looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, and only felt comfortable.

In the Qingxuan Palace, the courtiers and Zhuang Xianchen were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Concubine Mao's mother and Concubine Min's mother refused to give in to Mai Mang. Who knew that at this time, Liang Bao got the news, and walked to the emperor's side with a blue face in fright.

Zhuang Chenchen saw that his face was wrong, and he couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" ”

"The news came from the torture room just now, saying that Concubine Min is ...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"What?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned: "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, how can you use such a heavy punishment?" Whose order? ”

As soon as he heard the two words, Taifu Yang Taozhong's body weakened, and he knelt down in the hall: "Your Majesty, the old man guarantees with his life, Concubine Min will never do such a hurtful thing, there must be other twists and turns." It's just that I beg the emperor to read that the old man only has such a daughter, so let's treat her first and then investigate thoroughly. ”

At this point, Concubine Mao's father's day made Ge Zhenyue feel the same way. "Your Majesty, Concubine Min has not admitted this matter, and the matter is inconclusive. At this time, the matter cannot be easily closed in any way. Weichen begged the emperor to investigate thoroughly. ”

"I'm going to see Concubine Min." Zhuang Chenchen frowned and said, "You guys should disperse first." ”

Yin Li took care of everything and went to the torture room with the emperor.

When Zhuang Chenchen saw Yang Yunbi, he was taken aback. "Pass the queen over!"

"Yes." Yin Li knew that his master would tell him like this, so he asked people to inform the queen early in the morning. So not long after, Cen Muning and his party appeared in the torture room.

"Say hello to the emperor." Cen Muning said respectfully: "I don't know what the emperor summoned at this time. ”

"The matter has not yet been clarified, why did the queen use such a heavy sentence?" Zhuang Yanchen was a little angry, and his tone was naturally not good.

Cen Muning noticed Concubine Min who was dying on the side. "If you go back to the emperor, the concubine will be negligent, and I will ask the emperor for forgiveness."

"Neglect?" Zhuang Chenchen was very dissatisfied with her two words. "If it weren't for the queen's orders, how could these people be so heavy? If this is also called negligence, then I don't need to be held accountable. ”

Seeing that he was angry, Cen Mooning frowned and knelt down: "If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Min's matter is to report and expose the concubine and control it with one hand." It's not just Concubine Min's affairs, but most of the things in the harem now are handled by Concubine Pi for her concubines. The concubine really didn't know that the concubine would have such an order. But whether it was the concubine's orders, or the audacity of these minions, you have to ask the concubine to know. ”

She raised her head, looked at Zhuang Chen's eyes, and thought: It's okay to lose such a big temper at me, but don't be discouraged at the mention of pity for the concubine. Partial favoritism is not so favorite.

"Pity the concubine." Zhuang Chenchen had a cold face and looked at Cen Muning's eyes quietly.

"Your Majesty." Cen Muning frowned and said, "It's better to ask Doctor Hu to come over and take a look, Concubine Min may still be able to save ......."
