In the Zhaoren Palace, the atmosphere is solemn. The Queen Mother's eyes were deep, and she said coldly: "Last night, why did the maid in your palace die in front of the imperial dining room!" ”

Luo Qingyun knelt under the hall and said in a low tone: "The concubines don't know!" ”

"I don't know?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why did she go to the imperial dining room so late last night?" But what did you send? ”

Sun Yingxue was stunned and sweated for her. It was obviously her who secretly went to the imperial dining room last night, she just ate a few steamed buns secretly, and she didn't see Xin Yi's body when she came out!

Luo Qingyun pursed her lips and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine slept early last night, Xin Yi slept in the maid's room in the side hall, and the concubine didn't know when she left the Xiahui Palace!" ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother didn't even raise her eyes: "The mourning family has already asked people to pass on Banxia to come to Zhaoren Palace, and I'll find out if I ask later!" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Concubine Ying's mouth hooked, glanced at her with malicious intentions, and then lazily closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Ruan Xiangjun chuckled: "Noble Luo, although this palace maid has a low status, she also loyally takes care of our daily life all day long, you can't kill her because of a little thing!" ”

"Don't make a fuss!" Sun Yingxue was angry: "The matter hasn't been investigated yet, why do you say that you are the one who killed Qingyun, I know, you have a grudge against her, but it is really ridiculous to fall into the well, don't talk in front of the Queen Mother!" ”

"What are you, dare to teach me!"

"I am a noble person with you, on an equal footing, why can you slander her, I can't say a fair word!"

"Shut up the mourners!" The Queen Mother hit the case and said quietly: "You are a little nobleman, so you don't know how thick the sky is?" Dare to be wild in front of the mourning family? Immediately, she just looked at Sun Yingxue and reprimanded: "A lowly embryo with a low status!" Where do you have to speak here? ”

Ruan Xiangjun could see that the Queen Mother favored her, and glared at her proudly, Sun Yingxue lowered her eyes aggrievedly, and she didn't dare to say more. Luo Qingyun endured his anger, raised his eyes to look at Sun Yingxue, and shook his head gently.

"Someone brought it!" The palace people of Zhaoren Hall pushed Banxia a hand, she fell to the ground before she could stand firmly, only to hear a plop, Banxia looked around with a panicked expression, and her shoulders couldn't stop trembling.

Luo Qingyun noticed something was wrong, but saw that the palace people secretly glanced at Concubine Ying and nodded slightly. Concubine Ying looked back leisurely, picked up the tea cup on one side, and took a sip gently.

"Slave maid to meet the Queen Mother!" Banxia's voice trembled slightly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, but his fingertips were scratching the ground.

"The mourning family asks you, when did the dead maid leave the dormitory last night!" The Queen Mother looked at her coldly.

Banxia didn't dare to raise his head, secretly glanced sideways at Luo Qingyun, and said with tears: "Around the end of the year, Luo Guiren personally passed Xin Yi away!" ”

Luo Qingyun looked at her in disbelief, and her heart was cold.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother didn't care whether this was true or not, and continued to ask with interest: "Why did the Luo nobleman call her away in the middle of the night?" ”

Banxia's eyelashes trembled slightly, mixed with tears, and murmured: "The slave doesn't know, but a few days ago, Xin Yi did something wrong and angered the nobles, and the slave didn't know anything else!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell silent.

Jiang Ruolin glanced at Luo Qingyun sideways, and then looked at Concubine Ying coldly, she had already seen a lot of this trick, and couldn't help but sneer.

Sun Yingxue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Qingyun's temperament will not conflict with his subordinates, let alone have the intention of killing!" ”

Ruan Xiangjun sneered: "Really? Sun Guiren knows her so well? Since you have such a good relationship, you also know about it, right? ”

The Queen Mother reprimanded: "Luo Qingyun, what else do you have to say!" ”

Luo Qingyun has seen a lot of these things since she was a child, although she has always been timid but stubborn, when she encounters Shen's bullying, she never begs for mercy, and even refuses to say a good word. Now, the old trick is repeated, the queen mother just wants to deduct a crime from her, her eyebrows are spread, and the corners of her mouth sneer: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add!" ”

She is a small and weak woman, and she dares to confront the Queen Mother in public.

Everyone knows that there is a trick in this, but the Queen Mother wants to kill her, so naturally she won't care about the truth, the death of a maid in the palace is just a trivial matter, and there are countless unjust souls who died under Concubine Ying alone, and today anyone with a discerning eye knows that someone framed her, but Luo Qingyun has no title and no background, who will speak for her?

Jiang Ruolin suddenly raised her head, but she didn't expect her to have such a bearing, and looked at her with admiration.

"Bold! What is your attitude? The Queen Mother reprimanded, a little annoyance on her face, and ordered: "Come on, Luo Qingyun will commit a crime, drag her down, and reward her for thirty battles!" As for the murder of the maid's life, the mourning family will play the emperor, and they will not be spared! ”

A familiar voice came: "What does the Queen Mother want to say to me?" The emperor did not change his court clothes and walked forward slowly.

"Emperor?" The Queen Mother's eyes froze: "Why did you come to Zhaoren Hall at this hour?" ”

The emperor stood still in front of her, Ying Ying bowed, then looked at Luo Qingyun and smiled faintly.

Everyone knelt: "See the emperor!" ”

The emperor's voice was so familiar, Luo Qingyun raised his head suddenly, the man in front of him was wearing a dragon robe, the morning light was obliquely shining, he stood upright, and was looking at her, but for a moment, Luo Qingyun's expression was slightly sluggish, and he was so shocked that he forgot to salute.

"Emperor, the maid of the Xiahui Hall died in front of the imperial dining room this morning, and the mourning family has found out about this matter and is about to discuss with you how to deal with her!" The Queen Mother said in the front, she knew that the emperor was merciful to her, and this time she also came for her.

The emperor's eyes did not hide when he looked at Luo Qingyun, Ruan Xiangjun couldn't help but be happy, and secretly looked at the emperor, this was the first time she had seen the emperor since she entered the palace, and she didn't expect the emperor to be so handsome. Han Xiling was also stunned, the man in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but he looked at Luo Qingyun with a little tenderness inexplicably.

He chuckled: "This kind of trivial matter, don't bother with your mother!" ”

The Queen Mother squeezed out a smile: "Just because it is a trivial matter, and it is a matter of the harem, the mourning family should handle it well!" This matter has been ascertained, it was she who did it, and the maid also saw it with her own eyes, it will definitely not be wrong! ”

The emperor snorted, his expression was much colder, he turned his eyes to look at Banxia, his eyes were deep: "Did you see it with your own eyes?" ”

Banxia knelt on the ground, only to feel that her back was burning, she trembled with fright, and said, "If you go back to the emperor, it is exactly!" ”

The emperor's eyebrows became colder and colder: "What time?" ”

Banxia said in a low voice: "It's about time!" ”

"Really?" The emperor chuckled twice: "Come on, drag this maid down and kill her with a cane!" ”

Banxia was stunned, and kowtowed in a panic and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares his life!" ”

"Emperor, what are you doing here?" The Queen Mother was very puzzled and said: "Are you going to kill someone and protect Luo Qingyun?" ”

The emperor slowly turned his head and smiled at her: "After returning to her mother, this maid framed her master and deceived the king, which one is not a capital crime!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The room was silent, but seeing that the emperor slowly leaned down and helped Luo Qingyun up, he slowly straightened up and said, "Last night, I was with her!" How could she have killed the maid? Besides......" The emperor raised his eyes, looked at the Queen Mother with a cold look, but his voice was a little smiling: "The maid makes her unhappy, even if Qingyun wants to kill her, I don't feel it!" This matter is still worthy of the queen mother's decision here, is it to give an explanation to the dead maid? He glanced at Concubine Ying coldly: "Then I think the queen mother will be busy in the future!" ”

The emperor was so protective that the queen mother was speechless and even more embarrassed, and after a while, she cleared her throat: "Emperor, in your eyes, there are no rules in the harem?" ”

"Rules?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand her words: "I don't bother to watch and listen to those things in the harem these years, so I leave it to the queen mother." If you really want to talk about this rule, isn't what you say the queen mother just the rule? There are some things that Erchen doesn't want to explain, if you have to let Erchen explain all this thoroughly today, can you be comfortable? The emperor was silent and said with a smile: "From today onwards, Luo Qingyun can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace at will, and if I keep her by my side, no one will slander her anymore!" ”

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly: "How can a concubine be qualified to live in the Qianqing Palace since ancient times, and she is just a nobleman with a low status!" ”

The emperor was stunned, looked at Luo Qingyun's completely stunned face, frowned and said, "I almost forgot, you are just a nobleman!" He looked back, looked at the concubines kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the angry face of the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Then I will seal Luo Qingyun as Concubine Yun today, this identity is very proper, what does the queen mother think?" ”

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother was so angry with him that her heart palpitated, she held on to the desk, turned her head slightly, and said extremely seriously: "Emperor, the matter of sealing the concubine is not trivial, how can you be so childish?" ”

The emperor smiled, looked at Luo Qingyun and said seriously: "Yes, this concubine must have a ceremony, and the people of Luofu will also be present at that time." ”

"Huh?" Luo Qingyun's mind was in a mess.

The emperor held her hand and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Queen Mother, then I have to bother you to prepare, this ceremony is still in accordance with the rules!" He turned his head and said to Luo Qingyun gently: "Let's go, I will send you back to Xiahui Hall first, and I will send someone to pick you up at night!" ”

Luo Qingyun's heart fluttered so hard that her ears were buzzing, and her throat seemed to be stuffed with a handful of sand.

All the way out of the Zhaoren Palace, the emperor never said a word to her. She walked beside him, peeking at him lightly, still afraid to say more. Suddenly, the emperor's hand holding her slowly loosened, his expression became cold, and his tone was surprisingly calm, "What happened last night?" Now you can tell me! ”
