Empress Dowager Jiang is the first person in this harem, and this reprimand, everyone in the room couldn't help but tremble, and even the emperor frowned.

"Brother Rong, it's all Rui'er who is not good... All ... Rui'er failed to protect it... Our children. Zhao Rui'er cried even more, her eyes were red and swollen like two ripe peaches, and her voice was choked.

Originally, if Zhao Ruier was a young and ignorant person, if she argued a few words for herself, she would have fallen behind.

However, she did not defend herself, only cried that she was at fault. It was like a helpless and pitiful young mother, who had lost her child, and was afraid of the power of Empress Dowager Jiang and the crown princess and had nowhere to argue.

In this way, Empress Dowager Jiang's scolding just now seemed to be protecting her short, and her face became embarrassed, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.

Seeing this, the emperor could only say something to comfort him: "The side concubine, the widow and the crown prince are very concerned about this child. The widow knows that you have just lost a child, and you are very emotional, and your body needs to be slowly recuperated. However, you have to make it clear what happened today, and if you are really wronged, the widow will definitely make decisions for you. ”

Zhao Ruier tried hard to get up and salute the emperor, but her body was weak, so she could only sit at the head of the bed with the support of the prince.

The emperor signaled that Zhao Rui'er did not need to be polite, and the latter did not insist on standing up anymore, only leaned back on the soft pillow, and spoke slowly under the gaze of everyone.

"Your Majesty, Rui'er is guilty. Since Rui'er married into the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken care of Rui'er in every way, and Rui'er is very grateful in her heart. Because of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince neglected the crown princess who married into the East Palace on the same day, and Sister Wanrong was inevitably dissatisfied. ”

Everyone listened quietly and carefully to Zhao Rui'er's narration, and in the corner on the side, they looked at the poor woman and sneered in their hearts.

Zhao Rui'er continued to murmur: "Erchen thinks, today I will ask the crown princess to listen to the small talk of Xinhu and solve these misunderstandings, so that whether it is the crown princess and me, or the crown prince, it will be beneficial and harmless." ”

The emperor, who was standing opposite Zhao Rui'er, nodded in deep agreement when he heard this.

"After the crown princess came, the ministers worked hard to persuade them, and repeatedly showed their hearts to the princess, Rui'er will never be pampered and arrogant, and will definitely take the princess as the lead. However, the crown princess decided that I seduced the prince and was pregnant with the emperor's grandson, which made her lose face. ”

The crown princess Jiang Wanrong, who was standing next to He Xuan, heard these words, her eyes flashed, as if she wanted to open her mouth to argue.

He Xuan quietly stretched out his hand and pressed Jiang Wanrong hard, although his eyes were still looking at Zhao Rui'er, he shook his head at her quietly. Jiang Wanrong didn't know why, at this moment, she believed in Hexuan, a strange woman, and endured the grievances in her heart.

"As a result... Outcome... The crown princess was furious, and pushed her son, just... and fell overboard. Erchen has been impassable since he was a child, and he struggled in the water for a long time. . . Fortunately, the prince passed by, regardless of his safety, and saved his son's life, but my child... My children are ... Zhao Ruier said as she spoke, her eyes were hot, and tears gushed out again.

Zhao Rui'er was already a delicate and weak woman, crying here, the emperor's face couldn't help but be moved, Empress Zhao didn't have to say, even the Empress Dowager Jiang, who wanted to protect the Jiang family, became more and more ugly.

Zhao Rui'er's words aimed at the crown princess Jiang Wanrong, and when they heard this, everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Wanrong. Only He Xuan stood next to Jiang Wanrong and looked at Zhao Ruier motionlessly.

At this time, it was inconvenient for Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Zhao to speak out, and no one else in the room dared to shout in front of the emperor, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor naturally understands in his heart that if such a thing happens, only when he comes to interrogate the crown princess and the side concubine can he be fair. The emperor took a sip of the hot tea handed by the eunuch and said, "Crown princess, is what the side concubine said true?" ”

Jiang Wanrong's heart was already pounding, and even the blood vessels on both sides of her temples were dancing, she only felt speechless. At this moment, if she said in front of everyone that Zhao Ruier had told her so many unsightly words, and no matter whether these people would preconceived or not, they would only believe in the victim Zhao Ruier, and the incompatible relationship between her and Zhao Ruier would be confirmed. Then, she will become the person with the most reason to kill Zhao Ruier and the little emperor's grandson.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Rui'er must have expected that she would not be able to bring those words to the table when she heard Xinhu dare to talk to her like that. Although Jiang Wanrong is a simple woman, she is also a child of a prestigious family, and she knows a little bit about such intrigues. So far, she has not said or done anything wrong because of her nervousness and excitement.

But at this critical juncture, in the face of the emperor's questioning, she had to speak. However, from just now to now, she has not thought of any countermeasures. Could it be that today is her Jiang Wanrong's death?

"Father," He Xuan couldn't bear to look at this beautiful woman in yellow anymore and was terrified, and finally spoke: "When the accident happened, Erchen happened to pass by there. Although Erchen didn't hear what they said before, he clearly saw that Zhao Rui'er accidentally stepped on the pebble on the ground and slipped into the listening heart lake. ”

Although Jiang Wanrong believed in Hexuan's personality, she didn't expect that the dignified princess Tuesday would open her mouth at this time to defend her who had no chance of winning. She looked at Hexuan, her eyes overflowing with tears, but she tried not to let them fall in public.

The Emperor immediately raised his head, looked at Hexuan, and then bowed his head thoughtfully, his eyes looking straight at a table in the inner room. Empress Dowager Jiang didn't believe that Jiang Wanrong would do such a hurtful thing, but after hearing this, she felt a little confident in her heart, and her face returned to that commanding and respectful look.

Empress Zhao glanced at Zhao Rui'er, who was sitting on the bed at the moment, and there was obvious anger in her eyes. Yes, just now Zhao Rui'er was heart-wrenching, and every sentence was reasonable, but she didn't mention Hexuan, the key witness. As soon as Empress Zhao entered the Moon Palace and saw that He Xuan was here, she felt strange, but unfortunately she couldn't ask quietly, and Zhao Rui'er didn't have a chance to tell Empress Zhao secretly.

Is this an accidental forgetting to say? Now, being told by Hexuan, the credibility of Zhao Ruier's words just now has been discounted all of a sudden. After all, a pampered princess who is only twelve years old has no personal relationship with Jiang Wanrong, and has no grudges with Zhao Ruier, so what is the need for a good person to frame a prince and concubine?

Looking at Zhao Rui'er in front of her, she looked blushing, and she also knew it in her heart. This drama was arranged by Empress Zhao and Zhao Rui'er early, and every step may have been calculated, but they didn't expect that He Xuan would appear on the shore of Tingxin Lake in this life.

With Zhao Ruier's pretentious temperament, she doesn't have such a mind to bring down the crown princess. Therefore, every word, even including expressions and movements, is very likely to have been personally instructed by Empress Zhao Zhao. Naturally, no one would have known that He Xuan would appear, let alone expect that He Xuan would testify for the crown princess.

That's fine, and said with a heart, but his face was silent. This Zhao Ruier may not have the ability to deal with the sudden situation of He Xuan, watching the play and seeing this, it must be a little different from the previous life, and Xuan sneered in his heart.

Empress Dowager Jiang has always been a constant in this harem, and she has long wanted to speak, but at this moment she finally found a reason. Then he said: "The crown princess, what the second princess just said, did you hear it?" Do you want to plead? ”

This question is simply a trap, once Zhao Ruier opens her mouth to plead, she will inevitably say a lot of mistakes. She didn't have any evidence to prove that the second princess was lying. She bit her lip tightly, her thoughts were confused, and she thought for a long time, but she couldn't think of a word to say.

Empress Dowager Jiang was a little proud at the moment, as if she had a chance to win, her brows were stretched, and she said in a calm and firm voice: "If the side concubine has no words to plead, then the mourning family and the emperor can only believe the words of the second princess." ”

Then, Empress Dowager Jiang paused, her eyes turned slightly and she said sharply: "It's just that you accidentally fell into the water, causing the emperor to lose his little emperor grandson, not to mention, just now you deliberately climbed the crown princess." With such a vicious mind, the mourning family will never allow you to make waves in the harem. ”

This is the reason why when Qi Xiuyi sent the palace people to report just now, He Xuan specially instructed Empress Dowager Jiang to come over with him. This Empress Dowager Jiang has been standing in the harem for so many years, and now she is the real master of the harem, how can she let Empress Zhao and the side concubine casually kill the hope of the Jiang family in the future under her nose.

Empress Dowager Jiang did this, how much pity Jiang Wanrong had, and He Xuan actually didn't know. However, He Xuan deeply knows that the authority of Empress Dowager Jiang is not allowed to be provoked by anyone.

Suddenly, the prince, who was sitting next to Zhao Rui'er's bed, stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Wanrong from afar, and said, "I obviously saw that it was you, and I deliberately pushed Rui'er, so she would fall into the water!" ”

According to the meaning of Empress Dowager Jiang just now, Zhao Ruier may not even have a chance to live. may be precisely because of this, which angered the prince, who had not spoken. The prince loves Zhao Ruier very much, how can he be willing to let her die like this?

However, as soon as the prince said this, the situation immediately changed. After all, the prince is the prince and the prince. Even if the prince is a little biased towards Zhao Ruier, in the absence of any empirical evidence, even the emperor will not question the prince's character for such a thing.

This kind of truth, He Xuan understands, and Empress Dowager Jiang naturally understands it better.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Empress Zhao's mouth, Jiang Wanrong, the crown princess, was probably done.
