Chapter 55: Disfigurement
Xin'er slowly bent her knees, stared at Li Xiyue fiercely and said, "This is all due to Concubine Xian!" Li Xiyue heard the words and saw Chu Sheng looking at herself and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, that day the concubine met Xi Jieyu in the imperial garden, she was disrespectful and wanton, and the concubine just ordered someone to slap her to show a light punishment, why her sister's face became like this, the concubine really doesn't know, the queen mother was also there that day, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask." ”
Chu Sheng saw that what she said was not like a lie, and the doubts between her eyebrows were even worse, and the queen, who had not spoken for half a sound, saw this and asked sharply: "What's going on?" ”
Xin'er straightened her back and still stared at Li Xiyue and said: "What Concubine Xian Niangniang said is true, she did only order someone to slap the concubine that day, but she later ordered someone to mix a large amount of ginger in the concubine's diet, and the concubine's face was injured and she couldn't touch that thing, and now the concubine's face is afraid that it can't be good!" At the end, two lines of tears were shed, which made her face look even more terrible.
Chu Sheng couldn't bear to look at Li Xiyue anymore, his eyes were a little colder. Seeing this, Li Xiyue stood up and pointed at Xin'er and said, "Blood spews people!" When did this palace order someone to mix things in your diet? Without evidence, you don't want to be unfounded! ”
Xin'er sneered and asked rhetorically, "No evidence?!" So who is he? ”
Li Xiyue's good-looking goose egg face turned red, and she still reluctantly replied: "Who he is, how do you know this palace!" ”
Seeing that the two were arguing, the queen reprimanded in a low voice: "Okay, don't talk about it!" Then he asked the little eunuch who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, "Tell me, who are you instructed by?" ”
The little eunuch was already frightened, but now when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he actually howled and cried, and saw Li Xiyue in the hazy eyes of tears as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and walked to her on his knees and hugged her ankles and cried and begged: "Niangniang, help!" ”
Li Xiyue jumped up like a bee sting, kicked him to the ground again, and scolded angrily: "How can the emperor allow you to talk nonsense, do you know that if you don't want to die, your family will not care about your relatives?" ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he no longer cried, but stared at her coldly, and showed a resolute smile. Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu'er hurriedly shouted to someone: "Hold him down, he wants to find a short meeting!" When he landed, several palace people stepped forward to hold him down, and he struggled twice and then stopped exerting his strength, only his eyes were still staring at Li Xiyue, and his eyes were like swords flashing with cold light.
"Drag them to the Criminal Division, and order them to torture carefully, and don't let him kill himself! I don't believe I can't pry his mouth open! Chu Sheng commanded angrily.
"Yes! Minions obey! The minions replied and dragged the man out.
Immediately, the hall fell silent, and everyone present had different expressions, and no one dared to speak first if the emperor didn't speak. After another half of the ring, the anger on Chu Sheng's face gradually receded, and the queen peeked at his face and asked: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, you should go to the palace of the concubine to rest first, presumably this matter will not have a result for a while." ”
Chu Sheng lowered his head and played with the jade he carried, raised his head and smiled at the queen and replied: "There are still many twists and turns in the Qianhe Palace waiting for me to see, and I won't go to you tonight!" Then he turned his head to the next head and said: "The matter has come to this point, I must make a decision to ask for an explanation for Xijieyu!" I will not let her go if I have such a vicious mind! Chu Sheng said and his meaningful gaze fixed on Li Xiyue's face, and Li Xiyue secretly lowered her head under pressure.
Chu Sheng also retracted his gaze, and then said: "Okay, there is enough trouble tonight, you all go back and rest." Zhou Mingli~ You must try your best to heal Xi Jieyu's face! ”
"Yes! Wechen obeys! ”
Because of the emperor's decree, there were almost always people in the prison who stared at the little eunuch, but he was still dead! It turned out that he had already taken poison, and he could only survive by taking the antidote on time! Yu'er sighed, it was really a vicious and clever method, even if this person was arrested, the mastermind behind the scenes was not worried that he would not be able to stand it and confess himself, and he would only die! Jinxin also sighed, that Li Xiyue really had a good fate, and this time she escaped again!
Yu'er shook her head and closed her eyes and said: "Now that there is no proof of death, I am afraid it will be difficult to convict her, but this matter is suspicious in the emperor's heart, and presumably she will not have a good life in the future!" ”
Sure enough, the emperor has not been seen in Yingyue Palace for nearly a month, except for the days when the emperor is not in the palace, this has never happened since Li Xiyue entered the palace!
In the Yingyue Palace, Li Xiyue sat on a chair with a flushed face, and in the past few days, she was unwell before she sent someone to invite the emperor, but the emperor still didn't come to see her! In the end, he still didn't believe himself, Xianping stood beside her, and the fan in his hand was gently fanned down.
"Xian Ping~" Li Xiyue suddenly opened her mouth to call her.
"The slave is here!" Xian Ping stopped fanning his hand and bowed his head and waited for his master's command.
"What happened in the Butterfly Palace, but you arranged for someone to do it?" Li Xiyue really couldn't figure out who would frame her, or if the people around her would do such a stupid thing behind her back!
Hearing her ask, Xian Ping was so frightened that he knelt down with a puff and replied: "Niang Niang Mingjian, how could a slave and maid do such a thing behind your back, the slave and maid have been serving by your side since childhood, can you not believe in the slave and maid!" ”
Li Xiyue saw her crying appearance, and her originally anxious heart was even more annoyed, and she waved her hand to get up and said, "I just casually ask you what you are doing, how can I not believe you!" ”
"Niangniang, do you think it will be their own ....." After leveling up, he put away Fang Cai's pitiful appearance and whispered in Li Xiyue's ear.
Li Xiyue frowned and was silent when she heard this, and only after half a sound did she speak: "The injury on her face that day doesn't look like it's fake, how important is the appearance of the woman in the palace, how can she make herself look like a ghost in order to harm the palace!" According to this palace, she doesn't have that energy! ”
Xian Ping nodded, "What Niang Niang said is extremely true!" ”
"Okay, accompany the palace to Ningshou Palace, the emperor always doesn't come, the palace always has to think of ideas!"
In Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother, who was originally talking to the concubine, only glanced at the person who came. Li Xiyue was stunned when she saw this, and immediately lowered her body to say goodbye. The queen mother ordered someone to sit down, and after talking for a while, the concubine retired with interest.
"The Queen Mother~~ The Emperor ......" Li Xiyue saw that there were no outsiders, so she showed a look of grievance, and her big eyes were full of tears.
The Queen Mother put down the tea cup in her hand, "If the emperor doesn't go to see you, what can the mourning family do?" Have someone tie him up? Seeing that Li Xiyue didn't answer, she continued: "Besides, the emperor didn't go to your palace before, and he didn't see you give birth to a son and a half daughter, otherwise would you be so passive at this moment!" ”
Li Xiyue heard the Queen Mother mention the child again, and if she wanted to say that Fang Cai was pretending to be really wronged now, "Auntie, Yue'er was framed this time, you have to believe Yue'er!" ”
The Queen Mother glanced at her, regardless of whether Fang Cai's words really hurt her heart, "You really didn't do it?" ”
Hearing her ask, Li Xiyue hurriedly stood up and stepped forward and replied: "Auntie, although Yue'er is stupid, she is not so stupid, even if Yue'er wants to do this, how can she use the people in her palace, wouldn't she give it to others!" ”
The Queen Mother heard what she said, nodded and asked, "Who could it be?" ”
Li Xiyue was just about to reply, when she suddenly felt dizzy, her body had been unwell in the past few days, Xu was standing up violently and was faintly depressed, Xian Ping saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Li Xiyue shook her head with a white face and replied, "It's nothing, maybe I haven't slept well in the past two days!" ”
As he was talking, someone from the palace came in to report: "Queen Mother, the judgment of the Zhao Yuan is here, and I want to ask you for peace." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, "Let him in." "This Zhao Yuan sentence has been conditioning the Queen Mother's body for many years, and she is also the Queen Mother's henchman, and she has been under the care of this old lady since Li Xiyue entered the palace, but after many years, she has drunk a lot of medicine, but her stomach has not moved, and then Li Xiyue no longer believes in him, and even the pulse diagnosis is saved!
The Zhao Yuan sentenced to come in and ask for the Queen Mother's pulse, Su Xu said a few words, and was about to leave, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and ordered: "I just saw that Concubine Xian was unwell, and it happened that the Zhao Court was sentenced, you should also go and show her!" ”
