If he was a person in Concubine Qi's palace, he would naturally be summoned here quickly.

"If you meet, tell them quickly, this slut is good at witchcraft." As soon as Concubine Qi saw it, she hurriedly pointed at Nie Yan and said.

If he was very cooperative, he knelt down and said to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, the ancestors of the slave maid were foot merchants, and they had traveled to Nanzhan Country many times to do business. Before Concubine Niangniang entered the palace today, our Niangniang had always been fine, and after Niangniang came back from Ningkun Palace, she was not very comfortable, until after dinner, Niangniang saw blood. ”

Nie Yan frowned, as a palace maid, she was involved in such a major event as the murder of the imperial heir, but she did not panic at all, but she was still calm and calm, and stood up in a clear manner to point out a concubine with a higher position than her master.

If it weren't for the truth of what this palace maid said, then someone had already calculated everything.

"How do you know that Concubine Qi's miscarriage must have been burdened by witch Gu?" Xiao Yu asked in a calm voice.

Ru replied: "What Concubine Qi Niangniang did today is no different from the past, the only thing is that I have seen Concubine Niangniang alone." Xu is concubine felt that our master had left Ningkun Palace early and was disrespectful to her, so she poisoned her. ”

This sentence explained Nie Yan's motives, if he wasn't the person in that game, he would have admired the thoughtfulness of the people behind the scenes.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but turned to Nie Yan and said, "Concubine Shu, how do you explain?" ”

"Although the concubine was born in Nanzhan, the concubine is a princess of Nanzhan, not a priest of Nanzhan. In the whole country, only the priest can ask for the power of the shaman. ”

Nie Yan chuckled.

After all, he has been in the border between Chu and Nanzhan for five years, and he has heard a little about Nanzhan, not to mention that Nie Yan entered the palace as the princess of Nanzhan and naturally did some homework. When she knew that Concubine Qi believed that she was harming people with witchcraft, Nie Yan was not too worried.

As the king of a country, Xiao Yu naturally will not take his neighbors lightly, presumably Nanzhan has a lot of Xiao Yu's spies, so this kind of thing can't be hidden from Xiao Yu at all.

From the very beginning, Xiao Yu never believed Nie Yan's words of harming people with witchcraft.

But the people behind the scenes were careless, and they didn't think that the reason for framing others was the biggest flaw.

"What else do you have to say?" Xiao Yu said coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that this palace maid was too calm, he could also think that this was just a misunderstanding caused by hearsay, but it was obviously not.

If she pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, she also knew that even if she said that she had misunderstood Concubine Shu, it would be useless. She is just a little palace maid, offending the concubine is already a big disrespect, such a crime is still difficult to escape.

But Concubine Qi couldn't sit still, and said, "Your Majesty, did you believe her when this slut argued casually for herself?" ”

But Xiao Yu turned a deaf ear to her words, just waiting for Ruyu to answer.

Concubine Qi felt that she had been greatly wronged, in her opinion, Nie Yan was here to do against her, first Concubine Shu's position, and now she harmed her own children, what made Concubine Qi even more unbearable was that Xiao Yu, who had always been gentle to her, actually favored Nie Yan.

The more she thought about it, the more angry Concubine Qi became, and as soon as her head was hot, she argued: "I want to go back to the Gongfu, and I want to find my father and grandfather to make decisions for me!" ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, his hands clenched into fists.

The marriage between the Beiqing Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion has become an alliance, and Concubine Qi is the only concubine of the Zhenguo Duke and the favorite granddaughter of the King of Beiqing.

Zhenguo Gong has made great achievements, and the king of Beiqing has divided the three cities of the northern region since the first emperor ascended the throne, and has been operating for decades, and has a deep foundation.

Xiao Yu was very jealous, and now Concubine Qi openly took out the banner of Zhenguo Gong and King Beiqing to put pressure on him, Xiao Yu felt that maybe something needed to be accelerated.

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Queen Xu is well aware of Xiao Yu's jealousy of the ministers, but Xiao Yu can ascend to the supreme position step by step from an unfavored prince, and the most relied on are also the ministers.

It is because Xiao Yu is now in an awkward situation, and he can neither indulge the ambitions of his courtiers nor completely eradicate them.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire hall dropped to freezing. Although Nie Yan didn't know much about the current situation, she also knew that Concubine Qi's words must have touched Xiao Yu's scales.

"My sister is still in the middle of the month, it is inconvenient to go out of the palace, or I am good at cultivating my life, and tomorrow I will ask Your Majesty to announce the Duchess of Zhenguo to the palace to accompany my sister?"

Concubine De said, and at the same time walked to Concubine Qi's bed, wanting to comfort her, but she happened to block Xiao Yu's sight, and if she suddenly broke out, she took out a thin bamboo pipe out of nowhere and blew it with her mouth.

A small arrow with a jet-black luster flew out of the bamboo pipe, facing the direction where Xiao Yu was.

"Be careful!"

Nie Yan said hurriedly, she didn't expect that this Ruyu was not just trying to harm her, but she was also an assassin!

"Your Majesty!"

"Come and escort someone!"

Two voices came out of the mouths of Empress Xu and Concubine Yun respectively.

And Xiao Yu had already taken precautions when Nie Yan reminded him, and he was already able to dodge the sudden dark arrow, but he didn't expect that Concubine De, who could have passed in front of him, actually blocked the dark arrow for him!

"Lan'er!" Xiao Yu called Concubine De's name and protected Concubine De, whose lips were already black, in his arms.

The guards outside the hall hurriedly rushed in after hearing the sound of the escort again, and subdued Ruyu in three or two clicks.

When Concubine Qi saw Ru Yu's assassination, her face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't care about being wronged and uncomfortable, and kept repeating as if she had lost her soul: "It's none of my business, I don't know if Ru Yu is an assassin......

Xiao Yu didn't look at Concubine Qi, and Concubine De in his arms was already unconscious.

Empress Xu was the queen in the end, and when she saw this situation, she hurriedly ordered: "Someone! Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor! ”

"What kind of poison are you inflicting? Hand over the antidote, and I'll give you a whole corpse! Xiao Yu stared at Ruyu and gritted his teeth.

If she was unmoved, she smiled at Nie Yan instead, and then black blood oozed out of her mouth, but she fell to the ground and died in a moment.

The guard, who had been subdued, inspected it and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the assassin has taken poison and died!" ”

Nie Yan always felt that Ruyu's eyes looking at her were a little weird, even if Ruyu was dead now, Nie Yan was still restless.

"Search her for an antidote." Xiao Yu commanded.

The guards obeyed the order, and took out the things on Ruyu's body in three or two clicks, and handed them to Xiao Yu one by one.

In addition to the bamboo pipe that blew the arrow before, only a purse embroidered with patterns was found.

Xiao Yu ordered someone to open the purse, but found nothing.

However, when Nie Yan saw the pattern of the purse, she knew why she would smile at herself before she died.

The pattern on the purse is clearly the unique Manzhu Sawa of Nanzhan Kingdom!
