Concubine Yao Defei suddenly looked at the queen and shouted, "Heh, it turns out that it is the queen who wants the life of the second prince!" Does the queen dare to do it? A slave and maid asking for money is naturally instructed by the master. This Lan palace maid, but the queen's maid's dowry, does the lady still want to push it all away? ”

The King of Chu looked at He Xuan in disgust, and said word by word: "Queen, when the widow met you in Weiwei, the widow always thought that you were a virtuous lady and a woman who showed off her wisdom. I can't imagine that your heart is so vicious, and you want to kill the widow's own flesh and blood. Hehe. ”

He Xuan's heart was pounding, but his face was still trying to maintain the queen's dignity, and he said nervously: "King, why did the concubine want to harm the second prince?" The concubine is the lord of the harem, and she is in harmony with the king Qinse, and the son of the concubine is the eldest son. The concubine harms the second prince, and it is not beneficial to himself, please ask the king to see it. ”

"Really?" Concubine Yao Defei snorted coldly and continued: "The second prince was stabbed by the eldest prince yesterday and was humiliated by the eldest prince. Niangniang is really pretending to be confused. Does the king remember this? ”

"What the concubine said, it is true." The King of Chu said thoughtfully. Everyone in the hall seemed to have suddenly realized something, and they shook their heads and sighed.

Seeing that his husband believed such a ridiculous slander, He Xuan was displeased, and his emotions became excited, and he said loudly: "What this palace has not done, this palace will never admit it." Cuilan, now that everyone has obtained the stolen goods, don't you still tell the truth? What the hell is going on! ”

Cuilan was already frightened, and said while crying: "King, the slave doesn't dare not tell the truth. The queen mother heard yesterday that the king had reprimanded the eldest prince for the second prince, and she was very dissatisfied, saying that she must teach the second prince a good lesson. Thereupon... So the queen asked the slave maid to go to the hospital to get some strychnine and grind it into powder, and only said that today's banquet should find an opportunity to put it in the diet of the second prince. The slave didn't know that the strychnine would kill someone! Ask the king for forgiveness! O king, forgiveness of sins! ”

He Xuan's face was already pale, and he couldn't imagine that his dowry girl Cuilan had betrayed her, but who wanted to frame her? No, the top priority is to prove his innocence to Mi Xian.

"The king," and Xuan Yingying knelt down, two lines of tears rolled down on her elegant appearance, like crying: "The concubine and the king's childhood sweetheart, the concubine's personality should be clear, please don't be deceived by the villain." ”

However, the eyes of the King of Chu looking at He Xuan were full of disgust.

Finally, he got up angrily, and when he left, he said sharply: "Spread the widow's will, the queen Ji family and Xuan, murder the heir, stubborn and resentful, can not raise its son, train the elder in a different room, lose the virtue of a woman, and it is difficult to be the master of the harem." From today on, he was deposed, demoted to a concubine, moved to a cold palace, thought about it behind closed doors, and could not be issued without an edict. ”【1】

He Xuan sat on the ground and looked at the back of Mi Xian, who had gone away, in disbelief. How can it be? How could he have listened to the instigation of others and abandoned himself like this? That's impossible! He Xuan wanted to get up and catch up with Mi Xian, but he suddenly felt a knot in his five hearts, and he fainted.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in bed. "Cuilan, pour a glass of water for this palace." He Xuan said softly, but he didn't see Cuilan's figure.

I only heard a palace maid say in a rough voice: "Cuilan is not here." ”

"Oh, then you go and call Momei to the palace." He Xuan only felt thirsty and didn't want to say a word, but saw the palace maid standing motionless.

She fixed her eyes and saw that this was not her own dormitory, it was simply too simple to be more shabby. The shabby furnishings, the smell of rancidity, and the paper on the windows are full of holes.

She couldn't help but get scared and asked timidly, "Where is this?" ”

"This is the cold palace." The palace maid said coldly, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of disdain.

What the? Mi Xian is really willing to send himself to such a ghost place? "Go and ask the king to come, I have something to say to him." He Xuan said to the palace maid undoubtedly.

"The king's status is precious, how can he come to a place like the Cold Palace? Besides, the king has a lot of opportunities, and with an identity like a slave, he has no chance to meet the king. Abolish the queen mother, you still honestly enjoy your life in this cold palace, don't make trouble for the slave maid. The palace maid said quietly.

He Xuan was just about to get angry, but when he thought that this time was different from the past, he tried to restrain himself and calmed down.

She took off the crystal clear jade bracelet on her hand, stuffed it into the palace maid, and said kindly: "You must know that I have a deep relationship with the king, and he was only deceived for a while. When he figured it out, he would restore my position. Since you can't see the king, why don't you go and help me find someone, my fifth emperor sister, Princess Tianwei. She lives in the harem, and you tell her I have something important to tell her. This bracelet was given by the king and was worth a fortune. If you help me run an errand, I'll give you this bracelet, okay? ”

The cold and rough palace maid suddenly had joy in her eyes, and she took the crystal clear jade bracelet and put it away in disbelief, and immediately changed her words: "Please rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely do it." ”

A few days later, in the afternoon, waiting in a nervous and anxious mood, He Xuan finally saw Tianwei's figure. Princess Tianwei slowly walked in front of He Xuan, and then instructed the maidservants who followed her: "You go down first, my sister and I have something to say." "Yes." A group of maidservants blessed their bodies and stood at the gate of the cold palace in the distance to wait.

"Imperial sister, you must save me, I was framed. You know, I never hurt people, not to mention that the second prince and Concubine Yao De are not a threat to me and the eldest prince's status at all, I am also the second prince's mother-in-law, how could I poison and murder my heirs? He Xuan sobbed, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was haggard, and his eyes were full of grievances when he looked at Princess Tianwei.

"I know it wasn't my sister who did it." Princess Tianwei straightened her clothes, slowly walked to a fairly clean corner of the room, and said, "Because I did it." ”

"What?" He Xuan was stunned, and was stunned for a while and couldn't say half a word.

Princess Tianwei avoided He Xuan's gaze, faced the wall in the room, and continued: "Second Imperial Sister, you must not have thought that I instructed Cuilan to poison her. Concubine Yao De actually knew that the throne of Chu has always only passed on to the concubine or eldest son, and with your eldest son, her second prince will never come out. As long as she can pull you and the eldest prince down, her second prince will be the eldest son of the eldest prince, so she is as happy as she is. It's just that she repeatedly told me to pay attention to the amount of poison and not really hurt the second prince. ”

He Xuan was dripping in cold sweat, looking at Tianwei's back, he felt so strange.

She asked in disbelief, "What's in it for you?" I'm your second sister. Although we are not the same biological mother, we have had the best relationship since childhood, and now we are in the same Chu country, so we should support each other! Sister, are you... Instigated by others? I know there have been too many things recently, sister, are you not feeling well and talking nonsense. ”

"Sister, you also know that we were not born of the same mother!" Princess Tianwei suddenly turned around, sneered, looked at He Xuan with a mocking face and continued: "Since I was a child, my father has favored you the most, and he always praised you for showing off, so that even I, the princess, have been taken away from you by you. There are so many concubines and heirs in the harem, and the queen mother is also a woman, but she has to pretend to be stable and heavy, and let you sluts take away the grace that belongs to our mother and daughter. What are you? Later, you begged your father to promise you to the fourth prince of Chu, Mi Xian, who would have thought that he would inherit the throne of Chu and occupy all the territories of the Great Zhou. And me? My father married me to Cai Lixuan, the eldest grandson of your grandfather, Prime Minister Cai, and he is still your cousin! What kind of thing is he, just a little Situ, is he worthy of this princess? Fortunately, I secretly poisoned him and killed him, otherwise I wouldn't have been dragged down by him for the rest of my life! ”

"You... You actually killed your cousin Lixuan? He has always loved you deeply, and the Cai family has never treated you lightly! Lixuan's elder brother is the grandson of his maternal grandfather, who is young and promising, and he is a good talent for governing the world. Although he is only a little Situ now, it is just because he is still too young and needs to be experienced, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future! You... You could bear to kill him... I'm worried that you'll be depressed because of the pain of losing your husband, and I'm sorry to invite you to Dachu to relax! He Xuan felt more and more that the person in front of him must not be his fifth sister Tianwei, how could Tianwei do so many ridiculous things.

"I have long heard that the country of Chu is rich, and the princes and nobles are even more squandering, so I wrote a letter to the second emperor's sister, thinking of coming to the country of Chu to marry a clan of the state of Chu. Who knew that he received a letter from his mother halfway, saying that he heard that his father had been instigated by some villains, thinking that the Zhao family had made great achievements, and had been looking for opportunities to weaken the power of his grandfather's family in recent years. The queen mother did not have a prince, but fortunately, God had eyes, and the enemy was attacked on the back of the Great Zhou, and the grandfather took the opportunity to raise troops. My lord, my brother Mi Xian also made a lot of efforts to help my grandfather, both openly and secretly. Hehe, of course, it's because of my connection in the middle. As early as the Great Zhou Dynasty, Brother Mixian was very devoted to me, but he refused to abolish you, a slut, and only promised to let me be a concubine. I am of noble birth, how can I be a concubine? What's more, after the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, although the countries are dissatisfied, they will definitely bow down to the Chu State. At that time, the king will become the son of heaven, and the king's wife will become the queen. In this way, I am even more unwilling to let you profit. As a last resort, I can only let my sister be deposed. In this way, I can naturally become the most noble woman in the world, Queen Da Chu. Hahahaha. Tianwei said that, and looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy.

He Xuan knew too much blood-soaked truth in just one day, and he retreated unconsciously, only feeling that the person in front of him was very terrifying.
