Duan Yixuan sat on the top, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, majestic and noble, and glanced at Zhen Chen beside him, "Bring the people in the imperial dining room." ”

"Yes." Zhen Chen bowed his head and retreated.

After a while, Zhen Chen came to the main hall with the imperial chef who was in charge of making peach blossom cakes.

At the end of the bow, the imperial chef replied one by one: "The peach blossom cake in the past few days is the responsibility of the minister, as for the peach blossom cake sent to the Yufu Palace, although it is true that the minister made it, but the minister also followed Mama Lin's wishes and sent someone to send a plate to the concubine."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Mama Lin.

Mama Lin immediately knelt on the ground and explained: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother likes to eat peach blossom cakes, so the old slave let the imperial dining room make it, and thinking that Concubine Shu likes peach blossoms, she asked the imperial kitchen to send some to Yufu Palace." The old slave also saw that Concubine Shu was pregnant, so she was kind. ”

She didn't dare to say that it was instructed by the Queen Mother, otherwise Feng Lingye would bite back later, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

To keep the queen mother is to keep the backer, so that you can keep yourself.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, and her face was scheming.

At this point, it's already clear at a glance.

The corners of Feng Lingye's lips curled slightly, and she looked coldly at Mama Lin who was kneeling on the ground, "Concubine Shu likes peach blossoms, but Peach Yao sends honeysuckle grass in front, and you send peach blossom crisp in the back, Mama Lin, how do you explain?" ”

Mama Lin was about to open her mouth, but Feng Lingye interrupted her, "Do you also want to say that you are like Tao Yao, and you don't know anything about the consequences of mixing the two?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know how to heal, the old slave is just a slave who serves the master, the old slave is really wronged!" Mama Lin began to kowtow to avenge her grievances.

Except for the Queen Mother, who had the heart to speak for her, everyone looked at her indifferently.

Feng Lingye didn't pay attention to it, and turned to look at Tao Yao, who was trembling, "You just said that when you slipped with a copper basin, someone tripped you, right?" ”

Tao Yao didn't dare to lie, otherwise she deliberately fell, deliberately let Concubine Shu have an accident, and immediately nodded and replied: "It is true that someone tripped the slave maid, otherwise the slave and maid would not have fallen, causing Concubine Shu to almost have a miscarriage!"

"Can you see who it is?" Feng Lingye asked again.

Tao Yao's body trembled, and her eyes were a little evasive, "No...... No, the slave didn't see it clearly. ”

"But at the time of the incident, that person was standing beside me," Feng Lingye watched Tao Yao's changes, and sure enough, she saw her face turn pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Although I didn't see that person's face clearly, I grabbed her wrist. ”

"Who's that man?" Duan Yixuan asked.

Feng Lingye raised her lips and replied cooperatively: "She has a lot of strength and broke free, but the concubine has already taken precautions, and when she caught her, she smeared the poison on her hand, I believe that she is bruised now, and within half an hour, she will definitely die of poison."

When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped.

This noble man is really ruthless enough.

According to the clues she provided, Duan Yixuan looked at Zhen Chen, "Immediately block the door of the room and investigate the wrists of everyone present." ”

"Yes." Zhen Chen took the eunuchs and palace maids and began to inspect them one by one.

Men were inspected by eunuchs, and women were examined by court maids.

Everyone looked different, some showed impatience, some showed curiosity, looking around, just waiting for the murderer to surface himself.

The atmosphere in the whole hall was very tense.

Just halfway through the inspection, there was a sudden wail from the crowd, and then a person rolled to the ground, his forehead desperately hitting the floor, making a "ping-pong" sound, which was very infiltrating.

"The old slave was wronged, the old slave just accidentally fell and injured himself in a panic, and the Yi nobleman happened to see it, so he framed the old slave and begged the queen mother to be the master!" Mama Lin let out a cry of begging for mercy like killing a pig.

The Queen Mother was about to intercede, but Duan Yixuan had a cold face, and her warm voice was unquestionable, "Zhuang Yuyan." ”

Zhuang Yuyan bowed his head and immediately went up to check whether Mama Lin had been poisoned.

Mama Lin was weak-hearted and desperately retreated, not letting him check.

Zhen Chen immediately sent someone to hold down Mama Lin, Zhuang Yuyan took a pulse, frowned, and looked at Duan Yixuan, "I was indeed poisoned." "But it's not a poison that kills people in half an hour.

In the second half of the sentence, he didn't say it, he knew that this was Feng Lingye's strategy to force out the real murderer.

Now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, the Queen Mother can no longer intercede for Mama Lin, in order to get rid of her suspicion, she immediately slapped Mama Lin in the face, ", you dare to do such a stupid thing in vain for the Mourning family to trust you for decades!" ”

The slap was heavy, and there was a loud slap of "pop" from the silent hall.

Mama Lin was knocked to the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen, the corners of her mouth were oozing blood, she looked at her with sad eyes, and her old tears were rampant, "Queen Mother......"

The Queen Mother endured the grief and indignation in her heart, gritted her teeth and said: "You tell the truth, the mourning family can still treat your family well, if you dare to talk nonsense, the mourning family will punish you nine clans!"

Mama Lin was shocked, her eyes were terrified, and she reacted for a moment, then she turned to the emperor, with a generous and righteous look, and took all the charges, "It was the old slave who did it, and everything was done by the old slave!" Ask the emperor to punish the old slave! ”

"Why did you frame Concubine Shu and Guiren Yi?" Duan Yixuan asked lightly.

Mama Lin was stunned for a moment, and casually found a reason, "The old slave is a native of Dali, and he is willing to dedicate his life to the monarch of Dali, and he must not tolerate the people of Xia to defile the blood of Dali." That's when I came up with the idea of using the child in Concubine Shu's belly to frame Yi Guiren! ”

Everyone knows that where a slave has such a high consciousness, it's just a blurt out.

Feng Lingye also knew very well that the Queen Mother was going to put the blame on her subordinates, but she was not in the slightest hurry to bring down the Queen Mother.

Now that the Li family's power is still stable, not to mention that the Queen Mother is secretly making trouble and hurting Concubine Shu's fetus, even if she comes openly, Duan Yixuan can't help it for a while.

So in the end, Duan Yixuan looked at Mama Lin and Tao Yao who were kneeling on the ground, and his phoenix eyes were indifferent, "Put the two of them in the prison and hang them tomorrow at noon." ”

Tao Yao came over in a trance, hurriedly knelt down in front of Feng Lingye, pulled her skirt, and cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, "Yi Guiren, Tao Yao was wronged, Tao Yao was framed by them!" Noble Yi, you quickly plead with the emperor, Tao Yao really didn't do anything! ”

Feng Lingye looked at her, without a trace of emotion in her eyes, and asked calmly, "Where did you go yesterday evening?"

Tao Yao was confused at first, and when she thought of something, her eyes immediately widened in shock.

It turns out that she knows it all!

Yesterday, when I saw her out of the palace, I secretly went to Qianming Palace to report, but I knew that the Queen Mother said that there was an important plan today, so she was not held accountable for the time being, and she had to return to Fengyi Palace.

I didn't expect her to know it!

Seeing that she couldn't answer, Feng Lingye pulled out the hem of her skirt and watched coldly as she was dragged away by the guards.

Tao Yao was remorseful and anxious, looking at the Queen Mother, who knew that no one had looked at her, and even Mama Lin, who had followed her for many years, she was no longer nostalgic, let alone herself?

At this moment, she deeply realized that she had boarded a thief ship with no return.

The matter ended successfully, but everyone felt a kind of can't come back to their senses, but they didn't expect that the murderer who had been in the harem for so long was not Feng Lingye, but from Qianming Palace......

But even if he knew who the murderer was, because of the other party's forces, he didn't dare to talk about the Queen Mother like he talked about Feng Lingye, so he had to silently evacuate Foguang Temple with a surprised heart.

Feng Lingye also wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Duan Yixuan.

For a moment, the two stood in the hall, speechless.

In the middle of the sound, he finally opened his mouth to break the silence, "You also think I don't believe you anymore?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not," Feng Lingye raised the corners of her lips coldly, "The important thing is to come up with evidence to prove your innocence." ”

She relied on herself, not his trust.

He sighed imperceptibly, sat back in place, and let her sit in the position of the queen mother, "Even if you really kill Zhen Yurong and the fetus in her womb, I won't touch you." ”

"If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if someone offends me, give me three points, if someone offends again, return him a shot, and if someone offends, I will cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Feng Lingye said lightly, this is the principle she has always adhered to.

Her men can be robbed, because he is the emperor, and they are all his legal wives.

But if she is used to climb up, then she will not allow it.

After that, she looked at him and said in a slightly deep tone, "The Queen Mother is your adoptive mother, and the grace of nurturing is greater than the sky, I hope she will stop here, if she can't tolerate me anymore and hurt my family, next time, I will definitely retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and I will never stop!" ”

"In this palace, the only people I want to protect are you and your family." He looked at her calmly, and his deep and complex phoenix eyes seemed to carry a thousand words that could not be spoken.

However, Feng Lingye was already numb, she stood up, detached and indifferent, "I hope the emperor will do what he says." ”

Then, she turned around and left the Foguang Temple.

After returning to Fengyi Palace, Feng Jinxiu and Feng's mother heard about what happened in Foguang Temple, and they immediately felt extremely frightened, "I didn't expect Tao Yao to betray us!" ”

Feng Lingye smiled, "People change." ”

Feng Jinxiu was puzzled, "Aren't we treating her badly?" Which of her food and clothes is worse than ours? ”

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, once people taste the sweetness, they want to have more and longer." Feng Mu was very indifferent.

Feng Jinxiu nodded, and then hugged the two of them into her arms together, "Now is just the beginning, the Queen Mother will never give up, Sister and Mother must be careful in everything, don't fall into their trap." ”

Feng Jinxiu held her hand, full of fighting spirit, "Don't worry, there is a second sister in the harem, there are Yanxi and Gong Jiyue in the court, and there is the emperor above, we will definitely be able to fight the queen mother." ”

Feng's mother also hugged her two daughters, "We are a family, she is just one person, unity is strength." ”

Thinking of something, Feng Lingye let go of the two of them, her eyes were sad, "Mother is right, that Zhen Yurong is really an unfathomable woman, in our impression, she has no quarrel with the world, and after this incident, I found out that she is also selfish." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Feng Jinxiu asked.

"Mother also knows that she is not stupid, otherwise Duan Yixuan would not have let her conceive the dragon seed," Feng Lingye looked at Feng Mu, "But why did the Queen Mother make three moves, but she was hit three times, although she did not endanger the fetus, she did not escape once?" ”

When Feng Mu and Feng Jinxiu heard this, their faces were slightly gloomy, "What you said is very true." ”

"In this way, she must have been aware that the Queen Mother was using her to deal with me, but she silently let the Queen Mother act, which shows that she is opposed to us in her heart, but she did not take the initiative to act." Feng Jinxiu analyzed, "But there is also a possibility, that is, she doesn't want to offend the Queen Mother, but just let the situation develop, because no matter which side of us and the Queen Mother is frustrated, it will be beneficial to her." ”

"This Zhen Yurong is delicate, once she joins forces with the Queen Mother, the consequences will be unimaginable." Mother Feng's eyes were full of worry.

Feng Lingye smiled, "If she joins forces with the Queen Mother, then wouldn't the three-legged triumph in the court lose its balance, and how could Duan Yixuan tolerate such a thing?" ”

Feng Mu thought about it, and suddenly brightened, "It's still Ling'er's thoughts." ”

After calming the hearts of the two relatives, Feng Lingye also returned to his room.

Everything seems to have settled, but in fact it is just the beginning.

With Duan Yixuan's consent, Feng Lingye took Xiaofang to visit Tao Yao in the prison.

Tao Yao and Mama Lin were held in two cells, both next to each other.

As soon as Mama Lin saw Feng Lingye, she scolded, "You slut, why are you still alive?!" You've killed so many people, why don't anyone ask for your soul?! ”

"Because they've all gone to hell, how can they come to me?" Feng Lingye replied lightly.

Mama Lin was stunned for a moment, and then began to curse again, and the jailer was annoyed by the noise, so he opened the door and blocked her mouth.

Feng Lingye looked at her who was still whimpering and cursing, and couldn't help but shake h2
