Kou Shu seemed to show infinite surprise on her face, and nodded, as if she was very disappointed.

Bai Xuan also leaned on the maid and kept sobbing quietly, as if she had been greatly wronged, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to hurt the harmony between the emperor and the queen because of this little matter of the concubine, since the matter has passed, let it pass." ”

Kou Shu smiled lightly, this Bai Xuan is also a smart person, he just stabbed himself, and now he is a good person again. It's just that things have come to Song Jinyan, not to mention that it is such a major event as the ancestor worship ceremony, how can it be lightly revealed?

Sure enough, Song Jinyan frowned, his face looked very dissatisfied, he stood up, walked up to Ripples, and said with a cold face: "Your name is Ripples, right?" Let me ask you, have you ever given incense to the ancestor worship officer? ”

Ripples were stunned: "Back to the emperor, there are slaves and maids, but slaves and maids-"

Before Ripple finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lan Ruoxuan and said, "Since there is, that's it, this extra incense for no reason must have nothing to do with you." Lan Ruoxuan turned around and said to Song Jinyan: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan's sister has been wronged now, no matter what, this cheap maid will always be punished badly." ”

The implication is that if the emperor wants to protect Kou Shu, he will do so. It's just that now that everyone is watching, how can it be said that it can be covered up?

Sure enough, Song Jinyan's brows furrowed even deeper, and said, "Empress, I ask you, can this matter be related to you?" ”

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows and stared at Lan Ruoxuan with a smile, Lan Ruoxuan looked away with some weakness, and said, "Senior sister, don't look at me like this, the emperor is asking you." ”

Kou Shu nodded and said, "This matter, the palace didn't know about it from beginning to end, does the emperor believe it?" ”

Song Jinyan asked rhetorically: "That ripple is your personal palace maid, don't you know what she did?" ”

Bai Xuan grabbed the conversation: "Your Majesty, the queen said that this matter has nothing to do with her, and Bai Xuan is willing to believe it." I think it was the cheap maid who was ignorant, because she had a conflict with the people in the palace of the concubine before, and she held a grudge, so she would enter the altar without permission and plot against the concubine. ”

seems to be maintaining, but every word in these words is actually questioning Kou Shu, a little maidservant, if she doesn't have the permission of Queen Kou Shu, how can she enter the altar without permission?

Ripple's eyes widened, and he stared straight at Bai Xuan: "I didn't want to plot against you at all, I said that someone told the queen that the queen was missing a piece of incense to worship the ancestors, and I just passed, how do I know why you have an extra incense, you secretly brought an extra one, and it is not necessary to deliberately want to frame you." ”

"Presumptuous!" Lan Ruoxuan stood up and gave Ripple a heavy slap without hesitation: "The masters speak, the maid still dares to talk back, you cheap, are you really afraid to eat an ambitious leopard?" ”

Ripple was beaten, and his face was printed with a clear palm print of redness, Ripple subconsciously covered his face, and looked at Kou Shu with tears in his eyes.

Kou Shu just watched quietly, without saying a word, her eyes completely devoid of the favor and pity of the past, and just said coldly: "Ripples, no matter what, it was wrong for you to send a stick of incense to the past." ”

Hearing this, Ripple lowered his head, and knew that he had caused trouble for the queen mother now, so he raised his head and turned to speak: "Your Majesty, this matter is really a slave being framed, and this matter has nothing to do with the queen mother, please check the queen mother." ”

Song Jinyan frowned, as if considering the credibility of the ripples' words, and after thinking carefully for a while, Song Jinyan slowly spoke: "Today's ancestor worship ceremony, Concubine Xuan was framed for no reason, and what she received was four incense sticks, but fortunately, I found it in time, and it did not cause a disaster, disturbing and slandering the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Everyone was attentive, waiting to hear Song Jinyan's next words.

I only heard Song Jinyan continue: "Nian Zai has not caused a big disaster, and this palace maid is also a first-time offender. punished her for kneeling in the direction of the ancestral hall of the ancestors for three days and three nights, as for the queen, whether it has anything to do with this matter or not, this palace maid is a person in the queen's palace after all, and the queen is fined for half a year and banned from Changle Palace for a month. ”

Lan Ruoxuan and Bai Xuan looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of a smile in each other's eyes. The queen was grounded, the important thing is not how long, but everyone knows that the queen is grounded, and Kou Shu's majesty in the palace may plummet in the future.

Ripple exclaimed, knee walk Song Jinyan came forward, kept kowtowing, and suddenly blood flowed, and said: "Emperor, Emperor, ask the emperor to be clear, the queen really has nothing to do with this matter, everything is ripples listening to other people's slander, doing wrong things, if you ask the emperor to punish, only punish Ripple alone, don't be angry with the queen." ”

Lan Ruoxuan looked at it coldly from the side, and sneered even more in her heart. The more Ripple explains, the more suspicious it becomes.

Kou Shu stood aside, with an unrelated attitude, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, the concubine just said that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, and the concubine doesn't know about it at all. It's just that Ripple is indeed a native of Changle Palace, and she is the personal maid of the concubine, and if something like this happens, the concubine is also to blame, and the concubine is willing to accept the punishment. ”

Rubbing his slightly swollen eyebrows, Song Jinyan nodded: "In this way, everyone disperses, so do it." ”

Everyone nodded, and Yuguan walked out of Weiyang Palace.

"Senior sister-" A voice came from afar, Bai Xuan hadn't gone far yet, and he had to continue acting with Lan Ruoxuan in front of him.

"What?"

There was a hint of coldness in Kou Shu's voice, as if she was very dissatisfied because she had just been stoned, and her tone was full of indifference that no one should enter.

"Today's incident, Senior Sister is flying into trouble, and she feels innocent?"

Kou Shu sneered: "Is this palace innocent this time, I think Concubine Lan knows very well in her heart." ”

Lan Ruoxuan smiled, looking at the ripples who were following behind Kou Shu from afar, her eyes were too timid to come forward, and said with a smile: "Senior sister has always been lenient, and now it is time to learn how to control it, with such a girl, I am afraid that there will be no less troubles for senior sister in the future." ”

"I don't have to worry about this matter, junior sister," Kou Shu smiled faintly: "I heard that there is often a man with a silver mask in the palace today, I don't know who this person is, does my senior sister know?" ”

Hearing this, Lan Ruoxuan's face suddenly changed, her face was a little unnatural, and she said dryly: "I've never heard of this, maybe it's a palace person." ”

Kou Shu glanced at Lan Ruoxuan meaningfully, turned her head slightly, and said coldly to the ripples who didn't dare to come forward in the distance: "What are you still standing for, don't you go back to the palace with the palace?" ’

Hearing this, Ripple shook his lower lip, but still ran forward in small steps and followed Kou Shu.
