Hearing the news Chinese of Qingxing's death, Su Liuying was shocked! Seeing her look of disbelief, Fei'er said seriously

"It's really dead, and—it's terrible!" With a shake of her hand, Su Liuying blurted out

"How did she die?" Phil said

"How he died is unknown for the time being, but today's emperor's birthday is quite unlucky." There was a bigger cloud of doubt in his heart, and Su Liuying said in a daze

"What does Qingxing's death have to do with the emperor's birthday?!" Recalling the terrible scene that happened at the end of the banquet, although Fei'er was relieved, she still felt a little weird and terrible, and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and smack her tongue

"You don't know, someone sent Qingxing's body to the emperor in a box as a congratulatory gift! It's horrible. As soon as her scalp was numb, Su Liuying's mind immediately jumped out of Li Xiu's gloomy face, and she said in a trembling voice

"Yes...... Who gave the gift...... "Speaking of this, Fei'er smiled happily and resentfully,

"Queen Lou!" It turned out that halfway through the birthday banquet, when it came to the gift session, the prince led the princes and princesses to present the birthday gifts to Emperor Huicheng in turn, and the concubines and concubines also stepped forward one by one to congratulate Emperor Huicheng on his birthday.

And after Queen Lou was reprimanded by Emperor Huicheng for choosing a palace maid before, she wanted to renew her love with Emperor Huicheng at today's birthday banquet, so she spent all her efforts to find Emperor Huicheng's favorite posthumous work "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" from the previous dynasty!

"Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has been in the people for several years and has not been seen, many people have only heard of this magnificent picture, but few people have seen it with their own eyes.

Now that I heard that Queen Lou had found it, everyone suddenly wanted to see it, and wanted to take advantage of the emperor's birthday today to see it.

And Emperor Huicheng has been reading this painting for many years, and when he heard that Queen Lou found it back and sent it to him today, he happily pulled the hand of Queen Lou in public, and said with a smile, those who know my mind, the queen is also!

Hearing Emperor Huicheng's public praise, Queen Lou was overjoyed, and immediately asked people to carry the scroll up and unfold it in the main hall.

After the carved mahogany box containing the picture scroll was carried up to the palace, everyone gathered around, and Emperor Huicheng also took the hand of Queen Lou to accompany the Queen Mother to the first place and came to the wooden box.

In the limelight, Yu Ren stepped forward and opened the lid of the box. As the lid opened, a foul smell came to my nose.

Then, everyone was frightened by the contents of the box and retreated in unison - there was a female corpse lying on the picture scroll of the mahogany box!

The female corpse was naked**, there was nothing on her body, but the exposed body was full of pain, and the woman's crotch was carrying something - a locked copper lock!

Looking at this terrifying scene, the bold ones turned their heads and didn't dare to take a second look, and some of the timid ladies were so frightened by the tragic situation of the female corpse that they fainted on the spot!

For a while, the entire hall was in an uproar and panic! The Queen Mother was old, and her body almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she was quickly supported by the grandmother behind her, but she was also frightened and looked frightened.

And Emperor Huicheng's joy turned into shock and resentment, and he shook off Queen Lou's hand fiercely, and threw Queen Lou, who was already frightened, to the ground.

Ignoring the presence of the guests and ministers in the hall, Queen Lou recovered from the shock, and couldn't care about the painful waist that fell, stepped forward and knelt in front of Emperor Huicheng, and said with a disgraceful face

"Your Majesty, please explain to Concubine Rong, someone must have framed the concubine, and please let Your Majesty know!" The lid of the box had already been closed by Yu Ren's eyes, and the guests in the palace also quietly retreated by themselves, and in an instant, only the harem concubines and princesses were left in the hall, all of whom were the emperor's own family.

Among the rest of the people, except for Queen Lou, Princess Rongqing was the most frightened, because, from the moment the lid of the box was opened, she saw clearly that the female corpse in the box was her palace maid Qingxing.

And the copper lock under Qingxing's crotch was brought to her by someone she ordered three days ago! She was shocked but didn't understand why Qingxing, who was obviously imprisoned in Yongkun Palace, escaped and died in the birthday gift sent by her mother to her father...... Endless panic came to his heart, Rong Qing didn't dare to look at Li Xiu on the side, but the next moment he knelt down beside Queen Lou and cried

"Father, mother and daughter were all framed, please see what your father is!" The door of the main hall was closed, and Emperor Huicheng helped the Queen Mother to sit aside, but he picked up the golden cup on the table and smashed it on Queen Lou, gritting his teeth and hating

"Before I even started the trial, the mother and daughter began to complain here?! Queen, you are really a good queen of mine! He even taught a good daughter! Qingxing has been with Princess Rongqing for many years, so the moment the lid of the box was opened, she was recognized by everyone.

Emperor Huicheng naturally knew it. Looking at the scars on her body, especially the shocking copper lock under her crotch, the cause of her death is well known and clear to everyone - the palace maid next to Princess Yan was tortured and humiliated to death, except for her master Rongqing, no one dared to do this to her.

The golden cup smashed on Queen Lou's body, and the remaining residual wine in the cup splashed Queen Lou's wine stains, leaving black stains on her bright yellow dress, just like Queen Lou's dark and frightened face.

No matter how shrewd Queen Lou usually is, in the face of such an emergency, she is also panicked.

What's more, the deceased Qingxing has been severely tortured by their mother and daughter these days...... And Rong Qing was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, let alone defend himself.

For a time there was a terrible silence in the temple...... In normal times, a palace maid died in the palace, even if she was tortured to death by the master, it was not a big deal, and the straw mat was wrapped and thrown into the mass grave.

It's just that Qingxing's corpse suddenly appeared at the emperor's birthday banquet, or the eldest princess's eldest palace maid, countless pairs of eyes are watching, if Emperor Huicheng doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid that not only will he lose the royal face, but also make the world criticize the royal family for ignoring people's lives and making the world feel cold.

What's more, today is still Emperor Huicheng's longevity banquet, such a thing is too unlucky, and Emperor Huicheng's anger can be imagined!

Looking at the queen mother and daughter kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, his eyes finally fell on Princess Rongqing, who was pale in her face, and Emperor Huicheng's voice was as cold as ice, and said

"She's your handmaiden. How are you going to explain this matter to the world?! Hearing this, Princess Rongqing's whole body trembled, and she involuntarily looked up at Li Xiu, who had been standing aside with a cold face.

She doesn't care what people in the world think of her. What Rong Qing cares about is Li Xiu's opinion of her. Finally, because she was pregnant, Li Xiu's attitude towards her changed, and he cared for her a little more affectionately than before.

If it was because of Qingxing's affair that he had a grudge against him, and he decided that he was a ruthless person from now on, what would she do?

She was flustered and desperate in her heart, and the joy and triumph she had before seemed to be a dream, and when she woke up, it was gone...... Queen Lou's protector was heartfelt, and when she heard that Emperor Huicheng actually blamed Rong Qing for the blame, her whole body was shocked, and she finally came back from her panic and spoke first

"Your Majesty...... Everything is none of Qing'er's business, she is pregnant now and can't stand the stimulation and fright, how could she do such a thing? Please also ask the emperor to see that she is pregnant, don't blame her, let her get up, the ground is too cold......" Hearing this, everyone frowned, and it made the palace people waiting in the palace feel cold.

Although the identities are different, Princess Rongqing is the noble eldest princess, and Qingxing is just a lowly palace maid, but no matter what, it is also a human life, and she died so miserably.

But in the eyes of Queen Lou, her daughter was distressed when she knelt for a moment, and someone else's life could be said to be gone.

Emperor Huicheng looked at Queen Lou coldly,

"She didn't do it, who did it? You, your good mother, tortured people to death for her!? Queen Lou's whole body trembled, cold sweat trickled down, and she said in a trembling voice

"Your Majesty, concubines are people who believe in Buddhism and will not do such cruel things...... is not stupid enough to put her in the birthday gift he gave to His Majesty, someone must have framed the concubine! Speaking of the back, Queen Lou had gradually calmed down, her eyes looked coldly at Ning Zhaoyi who was standing aside, and she already believed in her heart that all this that happened today was done by Ning Zhaoyi in order to frame herself, and she suddenly hated her silver teeth and bled blood.

Looking at Queen Lou's current description, Ning Zhaoyi didn't want to mention more hatred in her heart, she regretted that Liuying left too early, and she should also see Queen Lou's embarrassed and desperate appearance.

Concubine Ning was relieved in her heart, but she secretly thought to herself, how to seize this opportunity to push Queen Lou deeper into the abyss.

This matter, it is not small, it is not big, but after all, it is just a palace maid who died, and she is still the palace maid of Princess Rongqing.

And Rongqing has already married out of the palace, so in the end, it will not let Queen Lou do anything. But seeing Queen Lou desperately protecting Rong Qing, Ning Zhaoyi had a plan in her heart.

She spoke slowly

"I just looked at the injuries on Qingxing's body, there are new injuries and old injuries with scabs, so Niangniang said that it was framed by others, but I am afraid that it will not be reasonable, after all, Qingxing has been staying with the princess on an errand after returning to the palace with the princess a few days ago, how did others torture her?" As soon as Ning Zhaoyi said this, she locked the murderer who tortured and killed Rong Qing on Rong Qing.

Sure enough, Queen Lou's face changed when she heard this. Queen Lou was not afraid that Ning Zhaoyi would attack her, because no matter what, killing a palace maid was nothing to a queen, and at most she was snubbed by Emperor Huicheng for a while.

But this matter means differently to Rong Qing, because Qing Xing has already been accepted by Li Xiu, but Rong Qing's move is a big taboo - jealousy!

Rong Qing also reacted, gritted his teeth with a white face and pointed at Ning Zhaoyi, and was about to say that she was spewing blood. Ning Zhaoyi had already spoken before she spoke, and continued

"As for the copper lock, the concubine has seen it in the script before, saying that the main room is jealous of the concubine's favor, so people use the copper lock to lock the concubine's lower body...... I thought it was too cruel and incredible when I read the script before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today...... "As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

Before, everyone only felt weird when they saw the copper lock under Qingxing's crotch, especially the girls who had not left the pavilion like Princess Linglan, they only felt terrible and weird, but they didn't understand the meaning of the copper lock for a while, but now after listening to Ning Zhaoyi's words, they came over in a trance...... Suddenly, everyone's faces turned pale, and they all looked coldly at Princess Rongqing, who was famous for her gentleness and grace.

Princess Rongqing was completely panicked - if the whip wound on Qingxing's body was the punishment for what she usually did wrong, the copper lock made her no longer able to argue.

She looked at Li Xiu with a pale face, and Li Xiu looked at her coldly, the cold on her face was even more indifferent and terrifying than before.

Until now, Li Xiu has been silently standing aside and watching, and it was only then that he stepped forward and said in a deep voice

"Father, in the final analysis, this matter is all Weichen's family matter, and it is also Weichen's ......"

"Donny ......" heard Li Xiu speak for himself and took the initiative to take the blame, but Rong Qing's panicked heart was much calmer.

As long as Li Xiu doesn't blame her, she doesn't have to worry anymore. Then Li Xiu didn't look at her, but his next words completely knocked Rongqing into the abyss!

"This incident was caused by Weichen accepting Qingxing as a concubine. Weichen originally thought that the princess was generous and graceful, and Qingxing had a deep relationship with her, like sisters, and Weichen mentioned Qingxing, and the princess would not be unhappy. Then I didn't expect that it was Qingxing who was humiliated and tortured to death, and it also disrupted the holy longevity feast. Weichen deserves death, and please punish the saint! Li Xiu's words seemed to be pleading, but he completely confirmed what Ning Zhaoyi said before, Rongqing is jealous and intolerable, even the closest maidservants can't tolerate it, and humiliates and tortures people to death...... By this time, the truth of the matter had been revealed, and Rong Qing had no more excuses and could not say a word.

And Queen Lou's protector was eager and tried her best to defend Rongqing. No matter how much you say, you can't change the facts in front of you.

Not only Emperor Huicheng was deeply disappointed in the queen's mother and daughter, but even the queen mother spoke out to reprimand Rongqing and Queen Lou......

"How did things end up?" Hearing Fei'er tell the whole thing, Su Liuying felt a chill in her heart, and couldn't help but ask.

Phil said

"The colt said that this is his family matter, and the emperor naturally doesn't want to say anything. In addition, Rongqing is a dignified princess after all, and now she is pregnant again, and it is impossible for the emperor to punish his daughter for a palace maid. I just told the master to take Qingxing's body back and bury it properly......"

However, after this incident, the emperor's attitude towards Princess Rongqing and Queen Lou has changed a lot, and he didn't go to Yongkun Palace tonight. And the most surprising thing is Princess Rongqing, I didn't expect that it would be the same as Queen Lou, the mother and daughter were the same vicious...... "Although Su Liuying didn't see the shameful copper lock under Qingxing's body with her own eyes, she suddenly remembered the pain and difficulty when Qingxing walked before, and the strange sound she heard, it turned out to be ...... At the end of the matter, the palace only said that Qingxing was punished for violating the palace rules, and she committed suicide in the gift box for revenge because she was not angry.

And the queen committed the crime of negligence, coupled with the fright, the head attack, need to recuperate in peace, temporarily unable to take care of the affairs of the harem, but the power of the palace for a while does not know who the flowers are.

But everyone knows that the birthday banquet Empress Lou finally angered Emperor Huicheng and was dismissed from the palace power of the harem!

For a while, several concubines in high positions tried their best to win the power of the palace, but Ning Zhaoyi was uncharacteristically silent...... Su Liuying was called to come to Chengqian Palace again, and after Emperor Huicheng told her about Lou Yue's recent situation as usual, he told her that the war was also coming to an end, and Lou Yue would soon return to the court.

Speaking of this, Emperor Huicheng couldn't help but show a gratifying description on his face, but when he thought of the growing strength of the prince's party and the recent events in the palace, as well as the ownership of the power in the palace, he couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.

He glanced at Su Liuying, who was quietly with his head down, and asked

"Can you play chess?!" Since learning the news of Lou Yue Kuaijing, Su Liuying was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing

"Back to the emperor, it will be, but it's not fine." She smiled like Concubine Qiong when she was young, and Emperor Huicheng felt sad for a while.

After Concubine Qiong left, although there were many concubines in the harem, none of them really had a heart-to-heart with him. And now seeing what Queen Lou has done, Emperor Huicheng is even more disappointed, so he did not hesitate to withdraw her power from the palace.

Yu Ren moved onto the chessboard, and Su Liuying sat opposite Emperor Huicheng, playing with him without squinting.

She was engrossed in thinking about the direction of the chess game, her face was calm, she was not afraid of the imperial spirit on the other side, the hand holding the chess piece never shook from the beginning, and every time she fell a sonorous sound, it was neat!

Seeing her so calm and unhurried, Emperor Huicheng looked sideways slightly-not to mention ordinary ministers, even the princes and princesses under his knees, who were usually uneasy and cautious when playing chess with him, their minds were not on the chess game at all, they were all secretly observing his expression, touching his mind, not daring to attack, not daring to defend, the game was boring, and winning chess was even more boring.

But after winning Su Liuying today, Emperor Huicheng was very happy, because she never let Emperor Huicheng score half a point from beginning to end, and even felt unwilling after the end

"Before losing the next time, the slave can eat at least six more sons of Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Emperor Huicheng was slightly stunned, but the next moment he laughed and said immediately

"Come on, next round, I'll give you a chance!" In the second game, Su Liuying really played much better than the first game, and Emperor Hui Cheng asked casually while marveling at her comprehension ability

"In Yunling before, I saw you help Lou Yue win the pennant, your riding skills are very good, who did you learn from?" Falling steadily, Su Liuying said indifferently

"I learned it from Daddy." Emperor Hui Cheng glanced at her, only to see that Su Liuying's face was not shocked, even if she mentioned Daddy in front of Emperor Hui Cheng, her emotions were still well controlled, and she did not show a trace of hatred and dissatisfaction.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Huicheng said again

"The harem cannot be left without an owner for a day. Among the concubines, who do you think can be trusted? ”

"Ning Zhaoyi!" Without hesitation, Su Liuying did not shy away from saying Ning Zhaoyi. Hearing this, Emperor Huicheng was slightly stunned again.

He didn't expect her to be so direct, so he couldn't help but say indifferently

"Why her?" Su Liu's eyes were bright, his expression was calm, and he said

"First, Niangniang was in charge of the palace for four years before, and she has experience and has not made any major mistakes. Second, there is no prince under the knee of the mother for the time being, it is not easy to participate in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and it is easier to maintain peace and tranquility when taking care of the harem. Emperor Huicheng's hand holding the chess piece was half a minute, but he listened to her words in his heart.

I have to say that Su Liuying said that Emperor Huicheng's heart was up. Putting aside Ning Zhaoyi's experience in running the palace, the second point that Su Liuying said was exactly what Emperor Huicheng wanted.

Nowadays, the battle for succession between adult princes is surging, and several high-ranking concubines in the palace are the mothers of the princes, so once the power of the palace is handed over to any of them, the entire harem will definitely be involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the former harem will become more and more unpeaceful.

Huicheng Emperor Road

"Ning Zhaoyi is indeed fortunate to have you by her side." Su Liuying's heart was relieved, knowing that the position of the palace leader was finally back in Ning Zhaoyi's hands.

After the second game of chess, Su Liuying still lost. But as she said, she ate ten more chess pieces of Emperor Huicheng in the defeat, four more than she expected.

When leaving the main hall, Emperor Hui Cheng looked at her back, and thought of Concubine Qiong again in his mind, his eyes dimmed, and his tone was quiet

"In the past ten years, your aunt has never mentioned people and things here to you?" This sentence has been buried in Emperor Huicheng's heart for a long time.

He has always wondered, in the nineteen years since Concubine Qiong left, has she really forgotten about him and the harem of Dayong?

！ Stopping and turning around, Su Liuying stood at the door of the tall hall, raised her eyes to look at the lonely man sitting on a high seat, and said indifferently

"I mentioned it!" Emperor Huicheng's eyes lit up!

"A-Niang once warned me not to enter the palace, saying that this harem is the most terrible place in the world, a tiger and wolf den dressed in prosperity. There is no one here, only a beast without humanity......"

"Tiger Wolf Den!? Beasts!? With a cold snort, Emperor Huicheng's eyes dimmed, and he muttered with a wry smile

"She saw it really thoroughly...... After all, her heart is weird...... "The light of her eyes calmly watched Emperor Huicheng's eyes dim little by little, and Su Liuying's heart was mixed!

Since knowing A-Niang's true identity, Su Liuying can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and who loses whom?

The identity of A-Niang's palace concubine was in the front, she was framed and left the deep palace to meet Daddy, perhaps because she was tired of the cruel and never-ending struggle of the deep palace, so she chose to forget all the past and came together with Daddy incognito.

It is undeniable that both men have affection for A-Niang. As the king of Emperor Huicheng, he could not tolerate his favorite concubine marrying another woman, and there was nothing wrong with his approach.

Daddy, he married the palace concubine without knowing it, and finally accompanied his life. And A-Niang was deeply framed, and she was in pain and guilt until she died...... Up to now, even Su Liuying can't tell the difference between the grievances and entanglements of the three of them, and she can't hate Emperor Huicheng, because it was Queen Lou who caused all this, not him...... Walking out of Chengqian Palace, Su Liuying met Li Xiu head-on.

Seeing her, Li Xiu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and a smile overflowed on his face. However, looking at the smile on his face, Su Liuying felt piercing for the first time, and a chill felt in her heart.

Others don't know about Qingxing that night, but she knows. At that time, although Qingxing was injured, it was only a skin injury, and the injury was not fatal.

If she guessed correctly, Qingxing was killed by him! Su Liuying stopped in front of Li Xiu, looked at Li Xiu with a cold look in her eyes, suppressed the panic in her heart, and got straight to the point

"You...... Why kill her? "Cat flutter Chinese
