The queen's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but clench her hand exposed outside her wide sleeves into a fist. She met Yu'er's respectful eyes, smiled faintly, and said: "This palace categorically doesn't believe that Concubine Hui would do such a thing, it's just ......." Speaking of this, her brows furrowed, and she looked extremely difficult.

Yu'er naturally knew her voice, although she was disgusted, she didn't dare to be too disobedient, and respectfully bowed to Yingying and said: "Xie Niangniang trusts, and the concubines are self-purifying, and in order to block the mouths of Youyou, they are willing to search the palace." ”

The queen's frowning brows eased at this time, she nodded and turned her head to the eunuch Wang Fuquan, the leader of Fengyang Palace, and ordered: "You take a few people to the Splendid Palace to have a look, remember to be careful, don't mess up Concubine Hui's things!" ”

Wang Fuquan got the order, agreed and bent down and retreated.

The queen turned her head and saw Yu'er and Li Xiyue standing side by side in front of her, one was elegant and graceful, and the other was well-behaved and quiet.

The years seem to take special care of the two of them, but their beautiful faces have not shown a trace of vicissitudes as they get older, even if they stand with the new palace concubines, they will not lose a cent.

The fire that had just been suppressed was blazing again, and the queen only felt that the fire seemed to be burning her internal organs, and she was in pain all over. Her face was pale, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing from her forehead.

Seeing this, the pick-up star on the side hurriedly asked, "Niangniang is unwell?" The slave maid sees that your face is not good! ”

The queen was about to answer, but she heard the voice of the servant outside, "The emperor has arrived!" She closed her eyes, waved away the discomfort in her heart, and stood up to lead the crowd to meet her.

As soon as Chu Sheng stepped into the main hall, he caught a glimpse of Li Xiyue and Yu'er standing in the middle, he glanced at the queen with a little meaning, and said to everyone: "Sit down." ”

The concubines sat down, and after Chu Sheng sat down on the main seat, he saw that the two of them were still standing in the hall in a daze, his eyebrows jumped, and he asked unhappily: "Didn't I let you all sit down, what are you doing here?" ”

The two of them didn't know why, and they were stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer.

"If you think it's too comfortable on weekdays, you can go to the Queen Mother to do your filial piety, and it's better than the pestle to upset the Queen here!" Chu Sheng held the teacup handed by the little palace maid, lowered his head and lifted the lid while talking, and took a sip.

The queen's face was stunned, and she quickly changed to a dignified smile, "The emperor is serious, and my sisters are too particular about the rules." As he spoke, he instructed the next head: "Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui, sit down quickly!" ”

The two of them immediately sat down in gratitude.

Everyone didn't speak for a while, and just when the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Chu Sheng asked the queen: "When I came in, I seemed to hear someone say that the queen was unwell, but what was the big deal?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look? ”

The queen saw that Chu Sheng was busy feeling sorry for her concubines as soon as she entered the hall, and she blamed herself for treating them badly, but her originally angry and depressed heart was now excited because of his few words. She secretly blamed herself for being too useless, stabilized her mind and replied with a smile: "It's just that the weather is a little stuffy, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Chu Sheng nodded with a look of concern, "That's good, don't get tired of the queen's hard work in the harem!" As she spoke, she stretched out her big hand and shook her soft.

The queen's face turned red and she smiled shyly.

"The emperor and the mother are really in love, and they really respond to the sentence that only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals!" The next lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, and everyone laughed together when they saw this. Yu'er also laughed dryly, but when she raised her head, she bumped into Li Xiyue's resentful gaze, and there was a little more disdain in this smile. What is there to be afraid of what he has not done, let alone Li Xiyue's slippery tire, Chu Sheng knows better than anyone else.

The corners of the queen's mouth raised slightly, and after coughing lightly, she changed to a very serious face, "The emperor came here at this time for the medicine of Yingyue Palace?" ”

Chu Sheng nodded, "Exactly, but what eyebrows?" He said a very quick glance at Baolian who was kneeling on the ground, as if looking at her more would make people dirty, and then asked impatiently, "Can she confess?" ”

The queen pursed her lips, and stopped talking... She raised her eyes to look at Chu Sheng, and saw that he was playing with the tea cup in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking.

Chu Sheng felt the queen's gaze, raised his eyes to meet him, and asked without joy or anger: "What, did she say anything indecent?" ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, her mind turned a thousand times, it seems that the emperor came specially after receiving the words, so this time Situ Nian can't move whether he searches for things or not!

She only felt that the pain that had just gotten better was densely creeping up to the tip of her heart at this moment, and she held back the sourness, weakness and embarrassment in her heart and replied: "I said something inappropriate." ”

Chu Sheng looked playful and asked with a smile: "Oh?!" What did she say? ”

The queen really didn't want to play with him anymore, at this moment she only felt embarrassed like a joke, she looked back at the tea cup on her side, and took the opportunity to glance at Situ Su.

The latter understood, stood up and knelt on the ground with a "poof", and choked before he could say anything..."The emperor~~ This palace maid named Baolian framed her sister, and actually identified her as the mastermind behind the scenes, how could my sister be careful and good to do such a vicious thing, the emperor wants to be the master of my sister! ”

All the people present were human spirits, and when they heard the emperor and queen speak, they naturally understood Chu Sheng's thoughts, except for a few who were good friends with Yu'er on weekdays, the rest followed suit.

Although Bao Lian was not so frightened that she trembled when she saw this, there was already fear in her eyes. She kowtowed and straightened up and replied: "The emperor is clear, everything the slave said is true, and she will never dare to have half a lie." ”

Chu Sheng didn't look at her, his voice seemed to float from the sky, "I only ask you, but the bowl of fetal pills that made Concubine Xian abort that day was also your hands?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed, these words were not different from what Concubine Fang Cai asked, it seems that the emperor really attaches great importance to Concubine Xian's birth. Only Yu'er knew in her heart why Chu Sheng asked this question.

Baolian was also a little stunned in her heart, she couldn't figure out why Concubine Xian and the emperor asked this question, the master had not explained this matter, and she was suddenly a little panicked.

Chu Sheng waited for a long time and didn't hear a reply, he closed his eyes and his voice was a little colder, "What?" Did the people behind you forget to explain this to you? ”

When Baolian heard this, she was shocked into a cold sweat, she kowtowed heavily again, and replied crying: "Back to the emperor, the slave and maid are guilty of a capital crime, Concubine Xian's bowl of fetal medicine is indeed a slave maid's hands and feet, it is Concubine Hui who is jealous of Concubine Xian's pregnancy, and forced the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will do such a bad thing when they are lost for a while, and the slave and maid are guilty of a capital crime!" ~~”

As Baolian cried bloodily, Yu'er's clenched hand gradually relaxed, and by the end there was a faint smile on her face. Being smart is being mistaken by being smart, that's all!

Chu Sheng on the throne also sneered when he heard the reply, he put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head halfway, and said softly: "I see that you are not very old, but your courage is not small!" ”

He didn't speak loudly, he was as comfortable as if he was talking at home, but it was as terrifying as thunder when it slowly drifted into everyone's ears. Pauline was so frightened that she forgot to beg for mercy.

In the lazy noon of spring, the people in the hall have their own thoughts. Chu Sheng looked around, as if he was a little impatient, he shouted: "Come on, drag this cheap maid to the Criminal Division, ask someone to watch carefully, and make sure she spit out the truth!" ”

"Yes! Minions obey! Immediately, someone from the imperial front came up to receive the order, and pulled out Baolian, who was paralyzed on the ground.

At this time, Wang Fuquan in front of the queen came back with someone, holding a tray in his hand, on which this small white burden was placed, and the blue mandarin duck grass on the burden was particularly conspicuous.

Yu'er immediately got goosebumps when she saw this thing, it seems that they came prepared!

Wang Fuquan knelt on the ground, lifted the tray high, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this is something that was searched from the Splendid Palace. ”

The queen looked at her, and the imperial doctor who was standing on the side and waiting immediately stepped forward to take it, opened it and looked at it, twisted it with her hand, sniffed it, tasted it, and replied: "Back to the emperor, Niangniang, this is indeed the same thing that Baolian added to Concubine Xian's food!" ”

Chu Sheng frowned and glanced at Yu'er at the bottom, seeing that she still looked indifferent and didn't care about herself, he naturally knew that Yue'er was innocent of Yue'er's slippery fetus, but now she found something from her palace, and she was stolen, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Xiyue held her hands tightly and waited for Chu Sheng to open her mouth to seek justice for her, and for her unborn child, she couldn't help but go up and choke Situ Nian's neck. But after waiting for a while, she still didn't hear his voice, and when she looked up, she saw Chu Sheng's tangled and ignorant appearance, as if he was thinking about an extremely complex problem.

She finally couldn't help it, stood up with a "poof", pointed at Yu'er and scolded coldly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Yu'er blinked and sighed softly, "The clear one is self-purifying, and this palace still says this!" ”

Li Xiyue saw that she was still this faint appearance, as if today's events had nothing to do with her, she suddenly became even more angry, she paced to Wang Fuquan's side in two steps, and with a "hula" sound, she pulled out the handkerchief wrapped in the medicine powder. Most of the powder landed in the tray, but a small part of it was still scattered so fast that it flew like snowflakes to everyone.

A few people who got close to each other exclaimed in surprise and covered their mouths and noses with the handkerchiefs in their hands, this safflower will make people unable to have children!

Li Xiyue took two more steps and walked in front of Yu'er and threw the handkerchief in her hand at her. Rao is she tried her best, but the snow-white silk handkerchief was thinner than paper, like a light white butterfly that fell steadily in Yu'er's hands.

Yu'er raised the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, there was no doubt that the stitches on it were indeed her own. I am not good at female popularity, I have rarely embroidered, I saw that the style of this mandarin duck grass is simple and generous, and I embroidered a few handkerchiefs when I had nothing to do. One piece was given to Su'er, one piece was accidentally lost a few days ago, and another piece has been carried closely. It must have been lost by herself, and she was picked up by someone with a heart, and she secretly hated herself for being so careless!

Li Xiyue waited for a while, saw that she was just stunned, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Is this your thing?" ”
