Listening to Baili Qingcang's threatening words, Concubine Li only felt cold all over her body, and now, the emperor has decided that the murderer is her, how can she justify? Or is it still useful to justify?

"Your Majesty, the concubine deserves death!"

Baili Qingcang's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a deep dangerous light flashed under his eyes: "So, do you admit that you killed these people?" ”

"No, Your Majesty, even if the concubines have the courage, they don't dare to kill so many people."

"And what do you mean?"

"The concubine confessed to the emperor because the concubine planted eyeliner in other palaces, Manager Xiao is right, those jewelry did flow out of the concubine's palace, in order to inquire about the news in various palaces, the concubine is just to protect herself, and she has never had the intention of harming others, please let the emperor know."

"Eyeliner? Protect yourself? What will you do with my harem? What do you think you are, you are a concubine, the queen is dead, you are the highest person, you need to do this? ”

Concubine Li raised her head slowly, tears fell like raindrops, and a pair of beautiful eyes with tears were moving: "Your Majesty, if you can, why should the concubines be so careful, the concubines are afraid, the queen was there, and the concubines and others had no room to turn over, if it wasn't for the concubines who were lucky enough to get the emperor's favor and gave birth to two sons, now I am afraid that they are still alone like other concubines, and the concubines press the eyeliner just to protect themselves, and they have never thought of taking the initiative to harm others." ”

Baili Qingcang's eyebrows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and the mood in his eyes was obscure: "You have never harmed anyone, so how did those people of yours die?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know anything about this matter, think about it carefully, these people were all painstakingly planted by the concubines, how could they get rid of them by themselves? Isn't that a wasted effort? ”

Qi Guifei had been silent, standing aside and watching coldly, and when she heard her words, she suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, what Sister Li Guifei said is reasonable, she has no reason to kill these people at all, right?" ”

Baili Qingcang looked at Concubine Li: "There is no reason? No, her reasons are very sufficient, I'm afraid that these eyeliners have helped her do some shady things, such as spreading some false rumors! ”

Concubine Li trembled, only to feel a roar in her head, the emperor knows? He knows it all?

Baili Qingcang strode forward and reached out to pinch Concubine Li's chin: "Lin family, is what I just said right?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not like this, the concubines haven't done this."

"Hmph, you still don't admit it. I know your thoughts, you have always been hostile to the fifth child and Shen Ninghua, I can see it, but I didn't expect you to want to destroy them viciously, and finally even pulled the rumors on my head, Lin, you are so bold! ”

"Your Majesty, it's not like this, it's not like this, the concubines are wronged!" Her chin was pinched, but Concubine Li didn't dare to bow her head, she raised her head and kept shouting grievances, hating Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi in her heart: Baili Junyi, Shen Ninghua, you are so vicious! One link after another, she was rigidly calculated, and it was impossible to get out.

Baili Qingcang suddenly let go of his hand and pushed her to the ground: "Go back to your Changqiu Palace, without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate." ”

Concubine Li's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, she is really wronged, the concubine regards the emperor as a god, how dare you spread rumors that are unfavorable to you, this is someone framing the concubine, someone must be framing the concubine!" ”

Baili Qingcang didn't pay attention to her at all, turned his head and instructed Qi Guifei: "Replace all the palace people in Changqiu Palace, you can re-select some honest and reliable people to send over, and the rest will be disposed of after Lin Feiyuan gets married." ”

The only bit of luck left in Concubine Li's heart is gone, she originally thought that the emperor grounded her without adding guilt, because he was still afraid of the Lin family, but now it seems that he is settling accounts after the autumn, once Lin Feiyuan marries and leaves, then her position as a concubine may also be abolished.

"Your Majesty, ask the emperor to be clear, and the concubines are wronged!"

Baili Qingcang didn't even bother to look at her: "Come on, send Concubine Li back!" ”

"Yes."

Concubine Li was dragged down, and she could still be heard shouting grievances when she went out for a long time. Qi Guifei stepped forward with a teacup and sent it to Baili Qingcang: "Your Majesty, the concubine sees that Concubine Li's sister is sincere, it doesn't look like she is lying, besides, why did she kill all the eyeliner overnight?" ”

Baili Qingcang sighed, took the teacup and took a sip, and then took her hand and sat aside: "You are indifferent, you don't pay attention to these mundane things, naturally you don't understand, in order to help her son, what can't she do?" Okay, you can continue to investigate this matter, and I will go back to the south study first. ”

"Yes, congratulations to the emperor."

Seeing Baili Qingcang leave, Qi Guifei smiled in a low voice, half leaning back on the chair and closing her eyes to recuperate. An old woman walked in at the door and said softly: "Niangniang, if you feel tired, let's go to the bed and lie down, I didn't sleep much last night, and I tossed like this today, I should be tired." ”

Qi Guifei opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of smiles: "Grandma Sun, I'm not tired, I'm in a very happy mood now, I've never been so happy for so long." ”

Grandma Sun took a blanket from the side to help her cover her legs: "Niangniang can't ignore her body when she is happy." ”

"Mama, the Lin family has no chance to turn over." Qi Guifei's eyes flashed with a hint of pleasure quickly, "At the beginning, it was said that the sixth prince brought Xia Jingxin back to the palace, but behind her back she had nothing to do with Li Guifei, she calculated my daughter, and Anning was unwilling to recognize me as a mother, and she was disheartened and stayed away from Kyoto, and now it is difficult to see her, I hate her to death in my heart, but there is no way, and now, I can be regarded as helping my daughter to avenge it." ”

"Niangniang, Princess An Ning knows your hardships and will definitely understand you."

Qi Guifei raised her hand and wiped her tears: "I don't ask her for forgiveness, I just ask her to come back to see me when she remembers." ”

Grandma Sun didn't know what to say, so she just stayed by quietly.

Qi Guifei wiped away her tears and took the paper with the list of violent deaths written on it: "Grandma Sun, the emperor asked me to investigate, we will check it well, this time, no matter what, we can't let the Lin family have another chance to get out." ”

"Yes, don't worry."

The news of Concubine Li's grounding again soon spread to Prince Yi's mansion, and Shen Ninghua was sitting on the sidelines, watching the two children eat fruit.

Hongling came over and reported the matter happily: "Miss, you don't know, this time, the emperor is afraid that it will not be so easy to let her go." ”

Shen Ninghua moved the corners of her lips, but she was not very happy: "When it comes to imperial power, naturally you can't let it go easily, otherwise, I'm afraid that the folk rumors will intensify." ”

Hongling asked with some confusion: "Miss, you don't seem to be very happy?" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled: "This time, we can be regarded as injuring one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred." ”

Hongling became more and more puzzled: "Miss, obviously we used the rumors to completely suppress Concubine Li, how can you say that it is a lose-lose situation?" ”

"In the end, the rumors involved the emperor, remember what the outside said, the emperor was moral, so the genius blamed the prince, so that the prince's heirs were thin and no one inherited."

"Yes, slave remembers, that's what I said." Hongling thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand.

Shen Ninghua explained helplessly: "The rumors were spread by Concubine Li, the emperor found it out, and it will naturally be announced in the world, so that Concubine Li will bear the consequences, but it is not enough for someone to bear the consequences, in order to prove that their virtues are not at fault, the princes must give birth to heirs soon, so as to completely convince the people that the rumors are false, and if the princes have a queen soon, then they can only have a lot of fortunate beauties. ”

Hongling was stunned, and then exclaimed: "The emperor will also give the prince a beauty?" ”

Shen Ninghua nodded: "I am the only one in our prince's backyard, he is now a prince, he has four side concubines, as well as twenty concubines, and some uncounted bed warmers, it is not too much for the emperor to give a few side concubines?" ”

"Miss, the prince has a deep affection for you, and he will definitely refuse, besides, it is rumored that the prince's heirs are thin, but the prince already has a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and you are pregnant again, and you have been married for more than two years, and you are about to have three children, this is not a thin heir."

"Where would the emperor consider this, and what Yang Yingxue said at the beginning is not without influence, the emperor is really afraid that other concubines will follow suit and monopolize the favor of the princes."

Hongling said indignantly: "Miss, you and the prince are in adversity to see the truth, the slave maid and others can see it clearly, no one is qualified to intervene in the relationship between you and the prince, the prince will definitely have a way." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled and opened his mouth to say something, but a cheer suddenly sounded.

"Good!" Baili Junyi walked over quickly, nodded with satisfaction at Hongling, "Hongling's words are good, I will reward you with one hundred taels." ”

Hongling hurriedly thanked her happily: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"Hmm." Baili Junyi sat next to Shen Ninghua, saw that there were still a few grapes left in her bowl, pinched them and put them in her mouth, "It's so sour." ”

The boss and Xiaobao on the side pinched one in one hand, tasted it carefully and found that it was quite sweet, and hurriedly shook his head at Baili Junyi: "It's not sour, it's sweet!" ”

Baili Junyi stretched out his hand and nodded at their little noses: "Where is sweet, it is clearly sour, as sour as vinegar." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Ninghua with a smile in his eyes.

Shen Ninghua's ears were red, and he turned his head to ignore him. But the boss, Xiaobao and Baili Junyi were more energetic, and they picked up a grape and tasted it, and their faces were full of juice: "Sweet!" As he spoke, he pinched the half-eaten grape and sent it to Baili Junyi's mouth.

Baili Junyi didn't dislike it, he lowered his head and ate it, and sighed again: "It's so sour!" ”

Shen Ninghua turned around and pinched the meat around his waist with one hand: "Sour or sweet?" ”

Baili Junyi's face stiffened, and he nodded seriously: "Sweet." ”

"That's pretty much it!"
