Since that day, when Yuyan handed over the so-called "evidence" Qibao bracelet to the emperor, Ruyi only glanced at it in a hurry. However, she also understood that from the so-called "assassination" on that day, to the passing of the guards, and then to the illicit correspondence with her exact handwriting, it was a carefully woven net that trapped her. There are no flaws, there are no flaws to be found at all. She looked at the emperor with some despair, and her heart was so sad that it seemed to be immersed in boiling water, rubbing and rubbing repeatedly, barely floating, and then being pressed to the bottom. In the end, he was just too weak to be powerless: "The concubine asked herself if she had experienced many things with the emperor, and the emperor still didn't believe in the concubine?" ”

The emperor hesitated slightly, turned his face and said, "I also want to believe you, but there are witnesses and physical evidence, and I can't fully believe it without checking anything." And what I want is not only to convince me, but also to convince everyone that you are innocent. ”

Ruyi stared at the emperor, forcibly enduring the wrinkled knots in her heart, her quiet and indifferent eyes were still the same, as if they were a bottomless deep pool, but there was a gentle ripple: "It's the concubine who is confused." The concubines thought that with years of affection, they knew each other and promised each other, and the emperor would believe it. ”

At that moment, Ruyi's eyes seemed to have a cold light like autumn water and cold stars, with gloomy resentment, and went straight to the bottom of his heart with determination. The light seemed to have some kind of burning power, and it stabbed him slightly. He was a little moved, but he turned his head and inadvertently avoided her gaze: "I am not a merciless person, I have affection for you, and I have affection for everyone in the harem." But the imperial concubine, the so-called innocence is never determined by affection. ”

Ruyi raised her face and slowly floated a thin smile, like the cold and dim moonlight at the beginning of the month: "Yes, it turns out that the emperor's affection for his concubines is also his affection for others." ”

Ruyi leaned down and clutched the seven treasure bracelets. Except for her heartfelt denial to death, she has no extra way to prove herself. In the snow-white and blurred tears, she stared at the Qibao bracelet in her hand, it turned out that the so-called love and trust can be easily shattered by these things outside her body. She only has herself, only Hailan, and only precious people who can be trusted. And that person is not him, not the person who has been with him for many years.

Is this a cold irony?

The Emperor stood up: "If you have nothing to say, I can only wait for the Prudential Division to use up the punishment, and I still tell you the confession that you have not fornicated." After being punished, he still did not change his original intention, I thought, such a confession is enough to convince the public and calm the message. ”

The tears in Ruyi's eyes froze in her eyes, and she said coldly: "The concubine is helpless, and she also regrets it." If the emperor is willing, please check the palace concubines and concubines, it is best to write with both left and right hands to see whose words are most similar to those of the concubines. ”

The emperor said "um": "Okay." I'll look it up. I also want to find out that my imperial concubine is innocent. He took a few steps forward, and saw that he was about to step out of the threshold, Ruyi looked at the Qibao bracelet on his fingertips, rubbed it carefully, and suddenly shocked his heart everywhere he could see, and said loudly: "Your Majesty!" The emperor stays! ”

The emperor stopped, but did not turn around, but said coldly: "The words have come to this, what else do you want to say?" ”

Ruyi's heart hung in her throat, and she clutched the Qibao bracelet between her fingers, and said in a trembling voice: "In the past few days, has the emperor seen this bracelet carefully?" ”

There was sadness and boredom in the emperor's voice, like a misty and damp mist, which made people feel suffocated: "I don't want to see such filthy things. ”

Ruyi stepped forward on her knees, couldn't contain her excitement, and raised her voice: "Your Majesty, this string of bracelets is not right!" ”

Huo Ran, the right foot that the emperor was about to raise froze, turned to her and said, "What? There was fervent uncertainty in his words.

Ruyi immediately handed the Qibao bracelet to the emperor and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this bracelet is made of gold, silver, glass, coral, amber, clams and agate. The so-called Seven Treasures, due to the differences recorded in different scriptures, can be used as the Seven Treasures holy things there are more than a dozen things, but the Tantric Seven Treasures must have the carnelian abundant in Tibet instead of agate. Carnelian and agate are similar in color and texture, and they look transparent and red, but agate is more precious. The master is a tantric monk and will definitely not be confused. ”

The emperor's brows gradually frowned, like mountains and rivers, twists and turns. He raised the string of beads and looked at the sky for a moment, then slapped it heavily on the small table of rosewood.

Li Yu patted his head and shouted, "Your Majesty, this bracelet is indeed made of agate." Master Anji Bossang is a tantric master and will never give it away, so the private correspondence between the imperial concubine and the master is definitely slandered by others. ”

Ruyi bit her lip and said neatly: "Then there is no need to check the palace concubines in the palace." The concubines in the palace are all from Mongolian and Han families, and they are familiar with Buddhist common sense, so they will definitely not be mistaken. If you can make a mistake, it must be a foreign woman who doesn't understand. ”

Li Yu hesitated for a moment, rubbed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there are only ...... foreign women."

The emperor raised the Qibao bracelet in his hand, his expression was cold and sharp: "Yes." If you believe in Buddhism, how dare you slander the monks and Buddhas and create sin. There is only one believer! Li Yu, you go and tell Jia Guifei in the palace that everyone should write down the commonly used things of the Tantric Seven Treasures with their left and right hands, and whoever has a handwriting like the imperial concubine's handwriting, bring it to me immediately. ”

Li Yu snorted: "Your Majesty, now the little masters are always walking around in Qixiang Palace, and the minions are so resolute, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

The emperor thought for a while: "There is a pair of new steps in the Internal Affairs Office, and I originally wanted to reward Concubine Yu, so you can send it to Concubine Jia." ”

Li Yu agreed, and immediately took the order.

Ruyi lowered her head and raised her eyebrows: "The concubine is banned, Yikun Palace is an ominous place, please don't stay for a long time." ”

The emperor said, "I have asked you a few words, and that's it." ”

Ruyi finally refused to look up, just looked at the endless jasmine patterns on her plain shoes: "The emperor is willing to take care of it for the time being, and the concubine Xu will defend a few words, and the concubine will be grateful." ”

She bowed her head, bowed solemnly three times, and complied with the rules of her subordinates. The Emperor looked at her silently: "You don't have to be so alienated from me. ”

It turned out that he still understood.

Ruyi crouched on the ground, and the smell of dust permeating the ground was slightly choking. She clearly heard the sound of the emperor's footsteps going out, and the tears in her eyes endured and endured, and she raised her head in the eyes, only Ling Yunche looked at it and bowed her head deeply.

Suddenly, she felt a lot more at peace.
