The palace maid A Ning lowered her head, Xu had never seen so many people, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave maid burns water and chops wood in the backyard of Kunning Palace every day, and there is a living water in the backyard, which is connected to the pool of the imperial garden. It is often used to pour some ashes. Lord Xia asked the slave to verify it, and the slave just testified... Indeed, every few days, Aunt Biye would personally bring out the ash basin in the main hall and pour it, there were a lot of ashes in it, and there were often some leftover notes. ”

Queen Tie Qing looked at A-Ning with a blushing face, and scolded: "Who poured you ecstasy soup, even betrayed the master, you are the rough envoy of the palace, it is true, but the palace does not remember to treat you badly, why do you want to frame the palace?" ”

Xia Qingfeng smiled, looked at Situ Ning and said, "It is precisely because you did not treat her badly that it is impossible for her to lie." A Ning's words are enough to prove the origin of the note in the minister's hand. ”

Without waiting for the queen to argue, Xia Qingfeng said again: "No matter what is written on it, this kind of private family letter has violated the palace rules. Right? The Queen? ”

Most of the women in the palace are people with family backgrounds, so private heirlooms have almost become the default thing in the harem. It's just that he was grabbed by this person.

"If there is a mistake in the family letter, then everyone in the harem is guilty, not only in the palace." Situ Ning said stiffly: "Even if it's the one from the Jingyue Palace, dare you say that you haven't passed on a family letter?" The woman in the palace is lonely, why not greet the family? ”

"Your greetings are too frequent, and..."Xia Qingfeng handed the piece of shredded paper to the emperor: "The content is too strange, it is actually written in ciphertext circulating on the rivers and lakes, the words are extremely small, and a lot should be written on a piece of paper." The one that the minister picked up, the ciphertext on it is translated, and it happens to be 'Concubine Jing in the past, who is not a son', this sentence, the minister is not mistaken, it is a sentence in the rumors of the harem. ”

Situ Ning's face turned pale, and he looked at Xia Qingfeng with some surprise, he actually knew the ciphertext. No, that's not the point. Xia Qingfeng appeared inexplicably, and a pair of eyes seemed to see through everything. If she hadn't suppressed the panic in her heart, she would have been defeated a long time ago.

"What does the Queen have to explain?" Xuanyuan Zili pinched the note and looked at it, it was actually the kind of ciphertext that Feng Xun used to write the address of the stronghold during the southern tour.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Situ Ning clenched the handkerchief, lowered his eyes and said, "The concubine has not done it, she has not done it." If the emperor really wants to put his concubines to death, the concubines have nothing to say. ”

There was silence in the hall for a while, a few important ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and my thoughts are different. Mo Zhiyuan twisted his beard and looked at Situ Ning, and suddenly said: "The old minister believes that it was not the queen's mother. ”

Xuanyuan Zili was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at Prime Minister Mo, raised his eyebrows and said, "What evidence does the Prime Minister have?" ”

Mo Zhiyuan smiled, stepped forward and said: "The queen is in the royal family, and she is devoted to the emperor, naturally it is impossible to casually come up with this idea of damaging the reputation of the royal family, which is harmful to the mother." However, since the minister heard that the queen mother entered the palace, until she had a miscarriage, she had not summoned General Situ and his wife, and the relationship was not very good. On the day of the miscarriage, Situ and his wife entered the palace extremely nervously. The old minister is ignorant and will not analyze it as closely as Lord Xia, but the old minister thinks that the queen must have been instructed by others, not that she wants to harm the emperor. ”

As soon as the words broke, Xuanyuan Zili chuckled, looked at Situ Ning who was gradually breaking out in a cold sweat on his forehead on the ground, hooked his lips and said, "What does the prime minister mean, does the Situ family have the intention of rebellion?" ”

"The emperor is wise."

Several ministers couldn't hold it back, and said one after another: "General Situ has done his duty for the Apocalypse, and now he is still fighting the enemy at the border. When the prime minister said this, it was chilling. ”

Mo Zhiyuan slowly took out an extremely thick fold from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor, with a righteous face on his face, he knelt down and said: "The minister has displayed the crimes of the Situ family on the fold, please make a clear decision." ”

Situ Ning stared at the fold tightly, and said coldly: "My father is stationed at the border pass, and he must never have imagined that he would be stabbed in the back by the villain." Prime Minister Mo, no matter what the crime you are talking about, you yourself are a corrupt official and traitor with unforgivable crimes, how can you say that we are a disciple? ”

Prime Minister Mo smiled faintly, his gray beard trembled slightly: "The minister is also like a good concubine, he admits his guilt, but he also wants to expose the crimes of the Situ family. In this way, the subordinates Jiuquan will also smile. ”

Xuanyuan Zili listened to it slightly, and just wanted to open the recital, he heard Duguchen say: "The affairs of the Situ family are very important, Your Majesty can make it public in the previous dynasty and judge it slowly." But the queen mother herself is guilty and should be sentenced in accordance with the law. ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, glanced back at Duguchen, and sneered: "The charges you have convicted of this palace are not clear. Except for one private family letter, the rest are without tangible evidence. With a private family heirloom, the palace has been fined for three months at most. ”

This crime is too light, it doesn't hurt or itch, so Situ Ning naturally admitted it. Fines are really useless.

"The crime of the queen mother that the minister wants to talk about is naturally not a private family letter, nor is it the murder of the palace maid, let alone creating rumors." Duguchen smiled slightly, looked at the puzzled looks of everyone, and turned his head to look outside the main hall.

Liang Yue, dressed in a pale yellow palace dress, walked in lightly. The jade face is smiling, and the eyebrows and eyes are full of touching colors.

"The concubines see the emperor." Just as he was about to salute, his body was held up by the emperor, Liang Yue smiled, glanced at Situ Ning who was kneeling on the side, and said, "The concubine doesn't seem to be late." ”

"Why are you here?" Xuanyuan Zili frowned tightly, threw the fold in his hand to Sixi on the side, and stood holding Liang Yue's waist: "At this time in the past, you should have been asleep, aren't you sleepy today?" ”

Liang Yue nodded, glanced at everyone, and said, "Yes, if it is a weekday, the concubine must still be asleep, and she sleeps longer and longer, and finally she never needs to get up again." ”

The emperor was shocked, frowned at Liang Yue, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Duguchen took a step forward and saluted the emperor and said, "Concubine Yue has been sleeping lately, and the minister has always felt weird, so he checked it. found that Concubine Yue's usual meal was mixed with a lot of things that shouldn't be there. And the method is extremely hidden, which is to boil the dishes during the meal with medicinal water. In this way, checking the diet with a silver needle will not find any problems at all, but the poison will indeed enter the body of Yue Guifei, and it will accumulate over time, and before the sixth month of pregnancy, Niangniang will inevitably have two lives. ”

Xuanyuan Zili's face changed, and he pinched Liang Yue's waist tightly, Liang Yue felt a slight pain, so he smiled and comforted the emperor: "It's no big deal, Lord Dugu found out early, and he has already cleared the poison." Just to avoid startling the snakes, the concubines pretended to be poisoned and played with them. ”

"Are you really okay now?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.

"It's okay." Liang Yue replied, looked at Situ Ning who was kneeling on the ground, leaned slightly closer to the emperor, and asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, where did the concubine do something sorry for you, so that you would be so ruthless?" The concubine in the belly is also the emperor's dragon heir, as the queen, not only is it not guaranteed, but it is harmful? ”

Situ Ning snorted coldly, looking at Liang Yue's appearance, his nails were pinched into the flesh. This woman came prepared, and I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, and she thought that she would either be found or succeeded. I wanted to take this mother and son to the funeral, but it seems that it can't be done.

"Concubine Yue is poisoned, and she is going to be pushed to the head of the palace again, Lord Dugu, please come up with evidence."

Duguchen stood aside, and had long thought that the queen would say this, so he immediately saluted the emperor and walked out of the imperial study. After a while, two people were brought back.

"Aunt Biye, Gonggong Zhao, these two people are the head of Kunning Palace, the palace maid and the chief eunuch, don't deny the queen mother anymore." Duguchen grabbed his robe without figuring it, squatted down in front of the two minions tied on the ground, and said with a smile: "Niangniang's minions disappeared yesterday, didn't you look for them worriedly?" Or are you giving them too difficult a task and giving them more time to do it? ”

Biye gritted her teeth and looked at Duguchen with hatred. Father-in-law Zhao was in a cold sweat and a little scared.

"The slave didn't understand what Lord Dugu was talking about, the slave and maid were making medicine for Niangniang in the imperial dining room, but they were caught inexplicably. What crime do you want to condemn slaves and maids? Biye raised her chin and asked Duguchen.

is really worthy of Situ Ning's most trusted palace maid, this momentum is really the same as the queen.

"It's unfortunate that a clever slave like you has been defeated by a slave who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Zhao Gonggong has already said a lot of things, and it is useless for you to quibble. Duguchen said to Bi Ye in a cold voice, then got up and hugged his fists towards the emperor and said: "The eunuch Zhao Gonggong, the head of Kunning Palace, has confessed that the idea of cooking medicine in the porcelain bowl of Jingyue Palace was made by the queen, and the medicine was personally prepared by Aunt Bi Ye, and when the people from Jingyue Palace came to pick up the medicine in the imperial pharmacy, they mixed it in, and let the servants who cooked the bowl and disinfected the Jingyue Palace replace the medicine prescribed by the minister with poison. ”

Because Liang Yue was pregnant, Duguchen was extremely careful with all the utensils, and he specially prescribed a recipe for people to cook all the dishes. But I didn't want to have the queen's people in the Jingyue Palace, and the medicine was dropped, which was originally sterilized, but it became poisoned.

The emperor's expression was cold, he let go of Liangyue and walked in front of Biye, and asked word by word, "What Lord Dugu said is true?" ”

The murderous aura around her body appeared faintly, and no matter how calm Ren Biye was, she was frightened by the emperor like this. Subconsciously glanced at his master, Situ Ning had a heavy expression and handed her a look.

Biye closed her eyes, and with a ruthless heart, she bit off her tongue fiercely.

She is the slave maid of Situ Mansion, and in this life, it doesn't hurt to return it to the queen and the Situ family!
