Chapter 371: Pointed out by Zhou Yuan

The Queen Mother clenched Yajieyu's hand distressedly: "Your Majesty, Yajieyu has made meritorious contributions to saving the mourning family this time, and her loyalty can be learned, how do you think she should be rewarded?" ”

Mo Guhan didn't care about this: "It's all up to the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "The reward from the mourning family is naturally indispensable, and I will send you to the Jinse Palace in a while." Is the emperor here, not like this, the emperor, Ling'er is now pregnant and has resumed her position as a concubine. Yajieyu has been with you for so many years, and today she has made great contributions, what do you think if you are promoted to a single position? ”

Although the Queen Mother did not point it out, the implication was that she wanted Yajieyu to take over the position of Concubine Ling's original concubine.

Mo Guhan already had a plan in his heart, what is the position of several people, for him, it doesn't have much to do with it, and the left and right are lower than Yuehua. However, he didn't want to give them too high rights, the higher their status, the greater the power, and the palace people flattered them, the greater the threat to Yuehua.

Therefore, he pondered for a while, and said politely: "Queen Mother, this Yajieyu is indeed meritorious today, and I should naturally be rewarded." As for the position, it would be better to restore her status as a noble concubine. ”

Mo Guhan pretended to be stupid and stunned, and did not reach the queen mother's thoughts. The queen mother was a little displeased, and glanced at Concubine Ling on the side, thinking about the pros and cons, so she accepted it when she saw it, and agreed with her chin: "Then follow what the emperor said." ”

Yajieyu felt a little lost in her heart, pretending to be overjoyed, and knelt down ecstatically to thank her.

Not long after, Zhou Yuan, Rong Xiang and others had already returned from the Leisurely Palace, and sure enough, as Yuehua expected, Zhou Yuan was holding the fragrant cake that Concubine Crane regarded as a treasure in his hand.

When Concubine Crane saw it, her face changed greatly, her face was incredulous, and she was seen by Mo Guhan.

Zhou Yuan stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, we have lived up to our grace and found this in the Crane Concubine Niangniang's dormitory in the Leisurely Palace. This fragrant cake adopts a special process technique, after the outer layer of oil is burned out, the inside is mixed with cold food powder. ”

The onlookers were dumbfounded and whispered.

Huai En couldn't help but lean half of his body towards Yuehua and whispered: "This method is confidential, Concubine He is at a loss for words this time." ”

Yuehua pursed her lips and didn't speak.

No matter how powerful Zhou Yuan is, he is not sharp-eyed, how can he find the hidden place of Wushisan so accurately? It seems that it is really as he guessed, and Xian Ge is eager for revenge, which is used by Yajieyu.

Mo Guhan sneered at Concubine He: "Now, you don't have anything to say, right?" ”

Concubine He's face was covered with sweat like rain, her red lips fluttered for a long time, and she didn't know how to justify.

At first, she explained the gods and ghosts perfunctorily, because she was afraid of shaking off the five stones, but now that she was exposed by Mo Guhan, she simply stopped hiding it, walked forward with two steps on her knees, looked up at Mo Guhan, pear blossoms with rain, and begged for sorrow.

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the concubine is indeed secretly taking a little medicine in order to restore her old appearance. However, this medicine has been refined by the warlocks, and most of the toxicity has been eliminated, and the concubine only takes a small dose, so she will not have a medicinal attack and lose her mind no matter what. The concubine must have been calculated by others, and I implore the emperor to see everything and return the concubine to justice. ”

"Hehe, I don't cry when I don't see the coffin, but now that the evidence is conclusive, I know that I am afraid to admit it?" The Queen Mother was furious: "I can't tolerate a woman like you in the Forbidden City, in order to compete for favor, unscrupulous means, disregard the law, ruthless and vicious, and deserve death." You don't need to beg the emperor, this matter ......"

"Queen Mother!" Mo Gu on the side interrupted the Queen Mother's words coldly: "Concubine He's crime is unforgivable, you can't be so angry for her, just leave it to the child to deal with." Come on, escort Concubine Crane into the cold palace first, waiting for the delivery. ”

Concubine He didn't just take Wushisan, she also injured the Queen Mother! Sin is unforgivable!

Everyone didn't expect that Mo Guhan didn't treat Concubine He's sin on the spot, but entered the cold palace lightly, and did not deprive him of his position.

Only Yuehua understood Mo Guhan's thoughts, he was not thinking about the old love for Concubine He, but he was showing mercy to the Jiang family.

Rong Xiang didn't wait for the Queen Mother to speak, and immediately stepped forward to receive the order, and instructed the guards to escort Concubine He, who was crying out for injustice.

Concubine Crane was lightly sent down, but she didn't know how to accept it when she saw it, and she still struggled and wailed all the way.

The queen mother's anger did not subside, she slowly looked around, continued to make trouble, and interrogated Xian Ge: "You girl, you serve your master every step of the way, she secretly takes cold food and scatters, and you don't even notice it?" ”

Xian Ge calmly and calmly, kowtowed: "Empress Dowager Qi, my master's fragrant cake never pretends to us, and it is all taken by himself at night, and there is no ash left in the morning, so I don't know." However, the slave and maid are stupid, and there is more or less the crime of negligence, and the queen mother is also asked to punish her. ”

Mo Guhan glanced at her and persuaded the Queen Mother in a low voice: "This girl is the palace maid who suffered from Concubine Lian before, and if she suffers a big crime, she will be punished lightly, right?" ”

Chang Lingyan is also the queen mother's sworn enemy, as soon as the queen mother heard Mo Guhan's explanation, most of her anger disappeared, she felt compassion, and said: "It's hard for her, just let it go." ”

Before it fell, Zhou Yuan on the side raised his head and said, "The villain still has a love in return." ”

Mo Guhan and the Queen Mother both turned their heads: "Say." ”

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yuehua, Yuehua's heart "chuckled", and he had a bad guess.

Sure enough, Zhou Yuan pointed to Yuehua and said amazingly word by word: "The villain has seen this kind of five-stone scatter from the queen's mother." ”

"What?" The Queen Mother exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Guhan's face also sank suddenly: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Zhou Yuan felt as if a mountain was pressed on top of his head, and his neck couldn't be lifted, he held it hard, and said tremblingly: "Last time I went to ask the queen mother for a pulse, Miss Tanruo once took out a piece of this five-stone and scattered it to the villain, with the smell of this fragrant cake, it was taken out of this fragrant cake."

She asked the villain what it was, but the villain didn't care, thinking that it was just an ordinary medical exploration, so she explained it to Miss Tanruo in detail. ”

The Queen Mother heard it clearly, turned her face, and asked Yuehua in a cold voice: "You already know that Concubine He has been taking Wushisan?" ”

Yuehua was already completely sure at this time that Zhou Yuan was coerced by Yajieyu, otherwise he would not dare to climb on himself if he was given ten dares.

Yesterday, because of the greenhouse incident, he didn't have time to interrogate Zhou Yuan. And Zhou Yuan was a thief, he must have been secretly paying attention to the news of the land attack, finding out what rumors, knowing that he was meddling in this matter, and sooner or later he would blame him, so he simply made a desperate bet and tore through the disguise.

This was indeed something Yuehua didn't expect, she originally thought that Yajieyu was just fighting Concubine He's idea, but she didn't expect that she wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so as to get rid of herself together.

This matter, if you admit it calmly, it will involve many things, if you don't admit it, you will be caught off guard for a while, how to deal with it?

Yuehua was still hesitating, not knowing how to answer the Queen Mother's question, but Xian Ge had already spoken first, and admitted calmly: "Empress Dowager Qi, the five stone san was handed over to Miss Tanruo by the slave maid." ”

Yuehua was stunned, and wanted to stop it: "Fiber Song!" ”

Xian Ge smiled indifferently at Yuehua, his face was calm, not in a hurry, and he seemed to have been prepared.

The rest of Yuehua's words were stuck in her throat.

When Yajieyu heard Xiange's defense, she was also obviously stunned, and secretly glanced at her fiercely.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you say?" ”

"The day before yesterday, a wild cat came over my master's windowsill and startled my master. When the slave maid heard the sound and entered the house, she saw that the tea cup in her hand had fallen to the ground, and she hurriedly covered it up. At that time, the slave and maid did not care, and when they entered the house the next day, they found a little white scrap through the crack in the carpet, and smelled a slight smell of fragrant cakes.

At that time, the slave maid remembered the panicked appearance of Concubine He, and had some doubts in her heart, so she picked it up and handed it to Miss Tanruo, and lied that she found it in her rouge, and it felt very wrong with it, so she asked her to help me see what it was.

At that time, Miss Tanruo said that she didn't know, so she went back to ask Imperial Doctor Zhou about it, and the slave and maid returned. As for what Miss Tanruo asked later, and what Imperial Physician Zhou said, the slave maid didn't know, and I didn't know that what was handed over to Miss Tanruo at that time turned out to be Wushisan. Similarly, Miss Tanruo doesn't know the true origin of these five stones. ”

The Queen Mother looked at her playfully, and then at Yuehua, her eyes flashed, and she was suspicious: "Is this true?" ”

Xian Ge raised her eyebrows and lowered her eyes: "The Queen Mother can find the maids in the Leisurely Palace to inquire, every case, every case, there is someone who can testify, and there is no half of a lie." ”

The Queen Mother was also trained in the battle of the palace, how could she not hear that Xian Ge deliberately excused Yuehua? His face was cloudy, staring at Xian Ge with a burning gaze, and he was half-sarcastic: "Are you very loyal to your master?" ”

Xian Ge did not raise his head: "My mother has the grace of not giving up on Xian Ge, and Xian Ge is willing to invite herself to the cold palace to take care of my mother's life." ”

How could Yuehua not know about Xiange's thoughts? Because Mo Guhan needed to reuse Concubine He's brother for the time being, he was unwilling to get to the bottom of the matter, so as not to involve the crime of Concubine He's mother's family bringing five stones to the palace, and temporarily closed the case in a hurry. Xian Ge hated Concubine Crane to the core, this is to chase into the cold palace and kill them all! Let's fight together! Never die!

At this time, Yuehua must be cautious in his words and deeds, and cannot come forward to dissuade him, so he wants to stop talking.

The Queen Mother already sneered: "The mourning family will fulfill your loyalty, I hope you don't let the mourning family down." ”

Xian Ge knelt on the ground and kowtowed, stood up, and smiled slightly: "Thank you Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Queen is complete." ”

Yuehua sighed in her heart, knowing that Xian Ge had made up her mind, and even ten cows couldn't pull it back.

Xian Ge's wish was fulfilled, she turned around with her head held high, and slowly walked out of the door of the warm pavilion, her eyebrows and eyes that had been lowered for nearly a year slowly relaxed, and she was full of vigor again.
