Chen Guifei had expected that the farce in the Streamer Pavilion was not the point, at most it was the opening track, but she never expected that when the curtain was opened again, it was the eldest prince who died, and then she was allowed to come in and watch.

It's not that she hasn't seen the Son of Heaven before, and she has a beautiful temperament in her impression, because the respect of the prince, of course, has some unattainable posture, but she is by no means a violent person, not to mention that the two are in love at this time, and the concubine only gets warmth from the Son of Heaven.

This happened suddenly, even if the eldest prince is not a concubine, and his biological mother is humble, but Zhang Xuanzhi is quite favored and the concubine also knows, and she never wants the eldest prince to die so miserably.

Without the connivance of the Son of Heaven, the queen would not dare to attack the only imperial heir no matter what.

What Chen Guifei didn't expect was that after Princess Chu defended herself, the spearhead was suddenly aimed at herself!

His face became more and more pale, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he stiffened his waist and stared at the throne in the hall, which was bright yellow.

She knew that in the current situation, the Son of Heaven would definitely not abandon his wife's family, but the Chen family was the mother of the Son of Heaven, as long as the Queen Mother was still there, her grandfather would not be separated from the Son of Heaven.

So, in order to retreat for the queen, you have to sacrifice yourself?

Those vows and alliances of affection are still in the ears!

A low sigh is like dust sweeping away the thin edge.

Chen Guifei was stunned, but met Concubine Deng's sad and sympathetic gaze.

At this moment, Concubine Chen understood, she was conceited and wise, but she was just making mistakes, Concubine Deng or Concubine Bai should have seen through the end of her feelings early on.

Chen Guifei ran away slightly, and missed the Son of Heaven's extremely short glare-towards the queen.

Obviously, this is not a pre-arranged arrangement by the Son of Heaven.

The queen doesn't have such a wit, everything is Qin Ziruo's plan for herself, in order to make this game more perfect, when Concubine Su is convicted and given death, and then find an appropriate time - it was originally scheduled to be after Chen Guifei gave birth, if she got a child, she would just fall into death, and the child would be recorded in the queen's name. On the other hand, it can also clear the suspicion of the Qin family in this matter, and let the Chen family carry this black cauldron, so that Yu Feng will not hold a grudge against her, and there is a great chance that she will completely replace Concubine Su with emotion.

What the best of both worlds.

It's a pity that Concubine Su broke through the trap, and the queen herself fell into the pit, Qin Ziruo was "beaten" and was unable to support, and Cai Wei was eager to protect the master, so she opened the retreat mode.

The concubine was still pregnant at this time, although she didn't know whether she was a man or a woman, her status was undoubtedly important, not to mention that she was like a knee to the Son of Heaven.

Isn't this the roasting of the Son of Heaven on the fire?

However, the queen was indeed forced to a desperate situation by the beautiful scenery, if she didn't find someone to carry the black pot, today in front of many women of historians and courtiers, the queen mother refused to be perfunctory, and the Son of Heaven couldn't keep her.

The situation took a sharp turn, the offense and defense were adjusted, and Yijing became an innocent victim, and he could completely stand by and watch.

It was because she simply returned to her seat, and listened to Cai Wei sing and read the script arranged by Qin Ziruo - that's right, Yijing is sure that at this time and now, the Son of Heaven will never let the concubine block the arrow, and the queen will be difficult to become a big weapon, and the next conspiracy will inevitably be led by Qin Ziruo.

But the outcome was already preordained.

The only variable is how the Son of Heaven will choose, and that's the key.

What Yijing knows is the difference between Cai Wei and Cai Lian - although Cai Lian is also an old servant of the Prime Minister's House, not a child of the family, this maid has nothing to do with her relatives and friends since she was sold by her parents, and she has nothing to do with her relatives and friends, relying on her clever and flattering, she has become the queen's companion, this time she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and she was indeed guaranteed by the emperor, as long as it is done, she will change her name to Yi surname and become an official eunuch adopted daughter, and she will be given to the children of the big clan as the main room, so honored, and then not a slave and maid, but I don't want to, in fact, the emperor has already had the heart to extinguish her mouth, she will never take advantage of her wish, as for the queen to think deeper, not only let her die, but even let her family be buried with her, so as to achieve the purpose of marrying Chen Guifei.

And Cai Wei is different, Cai Wei is indeed the queen's "confidant", because her parents, brothers and sisters are all in the hands of the prime minister, although she knows that she will be angry with the princess or the son of heaven, there is no way to live, but if you do not follow the queen's order, the family will die, the two are balanced, only "loyalty" is desperate, I hope to escape my life, and I can fight for a rich future for my family.

Therefore, at this time, it was she who came forward to "break the boat".

He did not hesitate to admit that he had a personal relationship with his private residence back then, and now the lover was transferred to the palace guard, and was bumped into by Cai Lian during the tryst, and used this as an association to force her to act in this play to blame the princess of Chu.

But in order not to involve the queen, this loyal palace maid deliberately took out the whole conspiracy from Cailian's mouth - it was Chen Guifei who cooperated with Cailian's family, and let Cailian take advantage of the queen's Fangchen banquet, and the dormitory was sparsely staffed, coaxing the eldest prince to quietly go out of the window to the lotus pond in the backyard, Cailian strangled it to Shentang, this side, Caiwei saw the opportunity to splash the princess of Chu's body of wine, and led her to the place where the crime occurred, and the two palace maids did the thing of marrying the princess, so that the princess of Chu could carry this black cauldron.

As for Shen's praise of the princess Jinpa, it was also Cai Wei who pretended to be instructed by the queen.

Originally, there was something to say about Su's Sanniang's confession, because the original plan to frame the concubine was not in a hurry, and when Concubine Su was killed, Su's Sanniang would be killed again in the future, and the confession couldn't help but be fabricated, but since Su's Sanniang did not testify at this time, Cai Wei did not mention it again.

Of course, Chen Guifei has a motive, even if she knows that the eldest prince is not a descendant, but this matter is always related to the Son of Heaven and cannot be revealed, the existence of the eldest prince is still a threat to Chen Guifei, so it is not far-fetched for her to bribe the queen's henchmen to drown her and blame Concubine Su so that she can get away with her guilt.

But in this situation, there are no loopholes in this statement, so Qin Ziruo is anxious, but she is also weak at this time, so she can only pin her hopes on the Son of Heaven and see how her brother-in-law chooses.

It's not that there is no chance of winning, after all, the Son of Heaven can't do without the arm of the Qin family, and the Chen family, no matter whether Chen Guifei is dead or alive, as long as the Queen Mother is there, she must stand in the position of the Son of Heaven, and she can't affect the overall situation.

But the first person to panic is, of course, Cailian - Princess Chu is guilty, she can enjoy the glory, but she has to be replaced by Chen Guifei...... Can the Son of Heaven spare her afterwards? But she couldn't confess to the emperor and queen at this time, and it was also a dead end, so she had to kowtow again and again, gritting her teeth and denying that she was instructed by the concubine, but she didn't involve the emperor and queen.

But Cailian's confession is irrelevant, even if she doesn't admit it, it is because of "her family", and she can't prove Chen Guifei's innocence.

For a while, only the two palace maids in the main hall who were "working together" just now were rushing to cry at this time, one accusation, the other redress, that is called a confused account.

And the Son of Heaven always has a dark and calm face.

The queen let it go: "Holy Lord, the concubine is really innocent, since Cai Wei has this confession, Mo Ruo detains the Chen family to examine it carefully, if Cai Lian's family is really controlled by her, she will be able to find out, either in the Chen family, or in the Jiang family!" ”

A righteous and righteous word, without fear.

If the Son of Heaven dares to stand up for the Chen family and put the Qin family in a desperate situation, the queen will also dare to tear her face in public, and it will be a big deal to break up in one shot and see how the Son of Heaven ends.

It's already a broken jar and a broken posture.

The Son of Heaven is full of confidence today, and he was originally strategizing, but how could he have thought that he would be in a dilemma? The concubine is still pregnant, and she is in line with the Sacred Heart, and besides, she is the niece of the queen mother, how can she be condemned to death? But it's just that if the Qin family is ignored, the situation will become more and more difficult in the future, and it is impossible to compete with the empress dowager.

Among the Qin clan's henchmen, there are also many middle-class nobles, who enjoy a small number of military rights in the local area, and they cannot be abandoned at this time.

What's more, some of the ministers are still headed by the Qin family, and they can't do without their support to govern the country, otherwise they will be dominated by the empress dowager, and there is no one at hand.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven was perfunctory: "This matter still needs to be carefully examined, and it cannot be judged today, in my opinion, Princess Chu is innocent." The Son of Heaven inevitably gritted his teeth: "Imperial grandmother, if you grounded the concubine first......"

Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother refused first: "Holy Lord! How can the words of the palace maid be believed to be true? It is impossible for the concubine to harm Dalang, it is clear! The queen mother's two cold eyes went straight to the queen: "This palace maid is the queen's confidant, and the queen is defending Qin Qiniang in public today, and Qin Xiang instigated the official to frame Princess Chu for losing her virginity first, which is clearly intended to let Qin Qiniang take her place, so I plan to take this opportunity to marry Princess Chu first, and then to marry the concubine, it is clear that the queen is jealous and hateful!" ”

Things have come to this point, and it has become the life and death of the Chen and Qin families.

But the concubine had lowered her eyes, and her heart was cold.

"Queen Mother, I have not judged the guilt of the concubine, but this matter must be carefully examined......"

"No need to scrutinize." The Empress Dowager simply interrupted the dispute neatly, and looked coldly at the "angry" queen: "This family of lotus pickers is indeed temporarily living in the Grange under the name of the Jiang family. ”

"Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother slammed to the side, holding on to the handle of the chair with her fingers.

The Empress Dowager was calm and calm: "But this matter has nothing to do with the Jiang family, but the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion bought the head of the Jiang family to operate secretly, the head of the Zhuang wanted to get out, but he had been detained by the Mourning family, and he had already confessed the truth, Queen, if you are still not convinced, then the Mourning family immediately ordered the arrest of the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion and imprisoned, and these two maids immediately tortured in public to extract confessions, not afraid that they would die with iron teeth and steel teeth and not confess!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ziruo's newly recovered physical strength collapsed again, and he was completely prostrate.

The queen was also almost unsteady in her sitting, and her face was pale.

Even the Son of Heaven had a dead gray face.

Princess Chu easily got out of the trap, and the Empress Dowager actually knew about the private actions of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what does this mean, it shows that Su and Chu have already taken precautions, and they have already presented the Ci'an Palace! The Son of Heaven thought that his trap was airtight enough to lure Concubine Su into the urn, but he didn't know that he was buried in the pit and couldn't turn over, but it became himself!

The Son of Heaven didn't even know which link struck the grass and frightened the snake, which led to a complete defeat.

How could he have thought that as early as when he delayed Yu Feng's visit to the domain, reused Huang Tao to buy Jingwei in order to overthrow the Duke of Weiguo, and forced Yu Feng to marry another Qin family, this interlocking trap had already been laid down by His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a shovel, and today, it was far from the time to fill in the soil.

The Son of Heaven was still stunned, but he heard the Queen Mother whisper in vain-

"Today's incident is obvious, the queen and Qin Qiniang originally wanted to frame Princess Chu for plotting to kill the emperor's heir, but they had already arranged a way out, if it was exposed, they would push the concubine to blame, all out of the queen's jealousy and hatred and the Qin family's disobedience! Holy Lord, what do you want to do? ”

This is to force him to cut off his arm, but he can't argue.

After asking, the main hall fell silent.

Yi Jing raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair, and then glanced at Qin Ziruo, who was paralyzed on the ground like mud and struggling weakly, and when he retracted it, he met the approving gaze of the people around him, clear as water, reflecting the shallow glow of the sky outside the hall, with slight ripples.

If today's victory is inseparable from Yu Feng's step-by-step planning in the past two years, but being able to fight back so beautifully, of course, there is also the key credit for Yijing's self-defense today, otherwise it is impossible to force the queen sisters to mess up and enter the trap unconsciously, of course, the prince wants to pay for it.

In such a tight and solemn atmosphere, the couple still has idle eyebrows.

And the Qin sisters have completely fallen into fear, not to mention the brave and unscrupulous queen, even the self-proclaimed wise and scheming Qin Ziruo is also like ashes - the matter is imminent, even if the Son of Heaven insists on protecting each other, the Empress Dowager will not let go, and the Chen family is eyeing it!

If you can't be good, you will succeed!

The queen had even heard the sound of her teeth trembling, piercing in her veins, and the pain was cold.

But someone else stepped forward to save them.

It's their mother.

Mrs. Qin staggered out of the ranks, knelt down in front of the hall, and when she kowtowed, the corners of her eyes were already crimson.

"Niangniang Rongyu, Shengshang Rongyu, today's events have nothing to do with the queen, the concubine is the culprit, everything is dominated by the concubine, it is the concubine who resents Concubine Su for treating and humiliating Qi Niang, resents the embarrassment of the Weiguo Mansion, so she has a poisonous plan and wants to trap Concubine Su in the capital crime, Cai Lian and Cai Wei are all instructed by the concubine, everything is the crime of the concubine, the queen does not know, please Sheng, Niangniang Mingjian."

"Mother!" The queen rushed forward, her demeanor was completely lost, she couldn't tell whether she knelt down or fell, in short, she was prostrate beside Mrs. Qin.

"Niangniang don't want to intercede for her concubine, and the concubine also knows that once she loses, it will be a capital crime, Niangniang, take care of your life in the future."

Yi Jing looked at Mrs. Qin's back, and also felt her resoluteness and sadness, and saw that the queen's true feelings were revealed, she really couldn't bear to let Mrs. Qin accept it on her behalf, the mother and daughter clenched their palms tightly, their protruding knuckles trembled constantly, and their eyes were teary to tearful.

Abandoning personal grievances and hatred, Yijing can't help but have unbearable feelings.

However, she saw that Qin Ziruo's shoulders and spine relaxed in an instant, but they seemed to have regained their strength, and they were no longer paralyzed.

This girl is hopeless.

and the Son of Heaven are really a pair - mercenary, ruthless and spicy.

Why didn't you enter the harem? If Qin Zi was in the back position, it would indeed be more difficult to deal with.

"Mrs. Qin, you are so bold." The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth, but suddenly got up and waved to the Empress Dowager: "Grandmother, this case has been revealed, I think the Empress is indeed innocent, and it is all Mrs. Qin's reckless actions due to selfish desires, and she should be punished with death." ”

"Holy! No, Holy One! The queen was incoherent.

But she was tightly held by Mrs. Qin: "Niangniang, the concubine knows that it is difficult to escape the death penalty, and Niangniang Hugh intercedes for the concubine......"

But the Empress Dowager obviously refused to give up, and stared at the Son of Heaven for a while before she said indifferently: "Even if the queen has nothing to do with this matter, the mourning family believes that the Qin family, as the middle palace, cannot be fair and courteous, protect oneself and lose all virtue, Qin Huaiyu is the minister of the country, and has no way to run the family, so he led this heinous evil act, and he should be punished and cannot stay out of the matter." ”

"Grandmother, the queen is the grandson of the first emperor, and I ask my grandmother for forgiveness." As soon as the Son of Heaven lifted his yellow robe, he knelt on the ground and pleaded.

It's a look of deep affection.

Yi Jing thought sarcastically, but when he looked away, he saw the corners of Chen Guifei's lips curled lightly opposite, it was not a smile, but an indescribable irony and desolation.
