At that time, Shang Fangsi's people came to Fengluan Palace and took Miaochun away.

When Miao Chun was leaving, she stared at the queen with tears in her eyes. There was also deep pathos in the queen's eyes, but she was powerless.

A sleepless night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cheng Dehai opened the door of Fengluan Palace with a smile and led a group of eunuchs in.

At that time, the queen was dressing up in the palace, and when she saw Cheng Dehai coming in, she knew that it was not good, thinking that Miaochun had confessed, and even her voice trembled, "Is there anything important for Grandpa Hai to come so early?" ”

Cheng Dehai bowed his hand and said humbly, "Queen Mother, what else can the slave do, it's not for the sake of Miaochun in the Niangniang Palace." After that, he smiled and said, "Last night, Shang Fangsi's people forced Miss Miaochun to confess, and all kinds of punishments were applied, but she just refused to admit her." This morning, I have to say that I want to see my mother before I am willing to confess, I wonder if you can go with the slave? At this, he glanced up at the Queen's face. The queen looked graceful, did not move anything, and only said lightly, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Cheng Dehai lowered his eyebrows, "The emperor agreed." ”

The queen's eyes twitched slightly, and she got up and said, "This palace will go with you." ”

As soon as she walked into the door of Shang Fangsi, Li Shushen smelled a strong smell of blood, which caused people to be disgusted, she covered her nose with her sleeves, and forcibly endured her nausea and followed Cheng Dehai all the way in.

Miao Chun was locked in the torture chamber in the far corner, and when the queen came, there were still eunuchs from Shang Fangsi who were punishing her. Cheng Dehai stepped forward, raised his hand to signal him to stop, and turned to the queen with a smile on his face, "Queen Mother, it's here." ”

The queen lowered her sleeves and looked at Miao Chun. She was huddled in a corner of the torture cell, panting heavily, covered in blood, her hair scattered and clinging to her wounds, some of which were still pouring blood.

The queen was horrified when she saw this, and almost screamed. Cheng Dehai has always been accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, his expression is indifferent, he raised his head and said to Miaochun inside, "The queen mother is here, give you a quarter of an hour, if you have anything to say, hurry up and say it." ”

Miaochun raised his head slightly when he heard this, and saw that Cheng Dehai and the little eunuch who had just been executed were gradually moving away, so he stretched out his hand to puff away a strand of broken hair in front of him, and looked at the queen with a dull gaze.

When the queen saw her turn her face, she saw her face clearly and recognized that this was Miao Chun. She trembled for a moment, and Fang slowly spoke, "It's hard for you, you haven't confessed after so much torture." ”

Miao Chun gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, this smiling action made her face even more distorted, she stared coldly for a moment, and said coldly, "How dare the slave and maid say what the queen mother explained." ”

The queen turned her head to avoid Miaochun's gaze as much as possible, and just wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but she heard a sneer from Miaochun inside. She was momentarily surprised, and looked around nervously, making sure that there was no one around, before she dared to turn back to look at her.

"Queen Mother, I really don't understand, Xiao Master Zhong hurts you so much, why do you still want to protect her?" Miao Chun laughed a few times, and the laughter also changed a little in tone, she suddenly lowered her eyes, and tears fell suddenly, "The slave maid has served you for nine years, and from the first day you arrived at the palace, the slave maid has been by your side, not leaving an inch. The slave is so loyal to you, and she has never done anything to be sorry for you, but after all, she still can't resist the deep sisterhood between Xiao Zhu Zhong and Niangniang......

The queen could hear it, and her heart trembled.

Miaochun is loyal to her, why doesn't she know? Miaochun is twenty-four years old this year, and the palace maid can leave the palace when she is twenty-five years old, and she also thought that she would find a good family next year and marry her, and it would not be in vain that she had been loyal for so many years.

Thinking of this, the queen closed her eyes deeply, and her breathing froze for a moment.

"This palace is for the emperor, for the emperor's children."

She stepped forward and picked up Miaochun's blood-stained face, what a beautiful face, but now that it was stained with dirt and blood, she couldn't see her beautiful appearance.

Miao Chun turned her face away, raised her head, bowed to the queen, her expression suddenly became indifferent, and she said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the slave won't be able to leave this place alive." The slave maid only hopes that after the slave and maid die, the mother will be kind to the slave and maid's family, and tell them that their daughter has no intention of harming others and is innocent. The slave and maid have been saving and not daring to move in the past few years, and the mother has lung disease, which has been delayed for many years, and the slave and maid have not gone back to see them...... I hope that the mother must ...... You must ......" Speaking of this, Miaochun was already choked up and couldn't cry, "I hope that Niangniang will ask someone to bring back the slave's maid to my mother, so that she can treat her ......well."

The tears in the queen's eyes were surging down, how could she not be sad? Miaochun is at such an age like a flower, but she dies for her like this, for her selfishness, she can't bear it. However, there was nothing she could do. She is not protecting Zhong Yuxiu, she is sacrificing Miaochun to protect Chu Luo's children.

All her life, she has been doing the same thing for the same person.

Miaochun burst into tears, she bowed deeply to the queen, her eyes were clear, as if she had seen through all the complexities of the world, and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations to the queen." ”

The queen turned around and wanted to say again, "Miaochun......"

Miaochun raised her eyes and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, the slave won't say anything." ”

The queen wanted to persuade again, but Cheng Dehai had already stepped forward, he stood on the queen's side, and said humbly, "Niangniang, the time has come." ”

The queen wiped away her tears and said angrily, "This palace will stay for a while." ”

Cheng Dehai was a little impatient in his heart, and said slightly, "The emperor only gave a quarter of an hour, and after a while, the slave will invite the queen mother to leave." ”

"Presumptuous! Hongu is the queen! The queen was already angry, and her expression was fierce.

Cheng Dehai sneered faintly in his heart, and his eyes were also cold, "The slave is the emperor's person, and naturally works for the emperor, if the queen insists on not leaving, then the slave can only suspect that the mother has something to do with this matter." ”

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but tremble with anger, she looked at Cheng Dehai coldly, and she was furious. She knew who betrayed her, and she also knew who confessed Miaochun in front of the emperor, she only hated, only hated that Cheng Dehai was a popular person in front of the emperor, and she couldn't do anything with him.

She heard footsteps ringing in her ears, and when she looked back, there were already guards standing behind her.

She raised her head, did her best to maintain the majesty of her queen, and left under the watchful eye of the crowd.

Miao Chun raised her head and stared at the queen's figure with tears in her eyes, her eyes were hazy, as if she saw the scene when she first saw Li Shushen when she was fifteen years old.

That year, she was a laundry girl with no status in the palace, and when she was bullied by the older maid, it was the princess who reached out to her and pulled her. Li Shushen lowered her eyebrows and smiled, full of spring, "You will come to my room to serve in the future, okay?" ”

From that moment on, she deeply believed that no matter the rise and fall of honor and disgrace in the future, she would follow Li Shushen.

At noon that day, Miao Chun confessed that everything was done by himself and had nothing to do with the queen. She signed and drew the charge, only waiting for the last moment of death.

When the news reached Chonghua Palace, Chang'an suddenly became anxious, and with a flick of his hand, half of a bowl of soup and medicine was spilled.

Hanyan was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it, and kept muttering in his mouth, "Master, what is this hurry, the medicine has been spilled a lot......"

Chang An didn't realize it, and said blankly, "This matter was not done by Miaochun, why should she admit it?" ”

Hanyan let out a sigh and sighed, "What if she didn't do it?" The mastermind behind the scenes refused to come out, and he could only use her as a scapegoat. The master had never seen Shang Fangsi's punishment, and he had to admit it if he didn't recognize it. ”

When Hanyan said this, he suddenly remembered the night he was in Shang Fangsi, and he couldn't help but stand on end.

Chang An put the decoction on the small table next to the bed, and changed color, "She is not guilty, wouldn't it be cheaper for others to die unjustly in vain?" ”

Han Yan pursed her lips, and was also very sad, "But no, the slave maid has known Miaochun for so many years, I don't believe she would do such a thing." It's really heart-wrenching that a good person is gone. ”

Chang'an's heart twitched, and even her eyebrows were twisted, she thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said urgently, "Quick, Hanyan, take the token of this palace, go to Shang Fangsi to ask for someone, and let them release Miaochun!" ”

Han Yan was shocked when he heard this, "What did the master say?" ”

Chang'an just didn't hear it, and urged, "You go quickly, it's too late again." ”

Hanyan was also startled, and hurriedly agreed to go, but at the end, he stood at the door and refused to leave.

Chang'an was also anxious, "What are you doing standing there?" ”

"Master......" Han Yan's expression was a little ugly, and he muttered to himself, "Then the emperor ...... over there"

Chang An sighed lightly, his eyes were a little darker and solemn, "You don't have to worry." The emperor's palace has its own way. Just said that the palace will not be investigated, and Miaochun will be spared, and the emperor will not blame him. ”

"Oh, good." Han Yan nodded again and again, and trotted towards Shang Fangsi with the token.

Chang An took a deep breath and drank the remaining half bowl of decoction, his thoughts drifting in his heart.

She had already asked Zhu Zheng in private, musk caused infertility, she was weak in blood and qi, it was not easy to conceive a child, and she was really sad and depressed when she took care of her eldest brother's funeral a few days ago. And the spice was only used a little bit in the core of the flower, and it was not the culprit that caused her miscarriage. However, Jiang Wanran blamed all the faults of her miscarriage on the loss of Begonia, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to attack the queen's power. She has the eldest son under her knees, and she is the niece of the Queen Mother, and the only way to shake her position is to use Shen Changan's children.

Chang'an's heart was gloomy, Jiang Wanran was really more decisive than her, and she was more ruthless than her.

If Miaochun is charged with this incident, the queen will naturally not be happy, and Chang'an knows this. She has no evidence to prove Miaochun's innocence, so she can only try her best to keep her. That's all she can do.
