。

But what if this matter has nothing to do with the queen?

For no reason, Xie Yanwan thought of another possibility.

If this matter is really not the queen's doing, but someone else, then that person is about to come out.

After all, what kind of character her family Ah Zhi is, Xie Yanwan still knows it. If Ah Zhi blamed King Ning for this matter in order to protect her and teach Concubine Lian a lesson, it may not be impossible.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanwan was a little uneasy.

When Chen Jia talked back and forth tonight, he looked like he was spitting and spitting, and he did everything he could to stop her, so that she would not see Feng Qi.

If it wasn't boring, why didn't Chen Jia dare to look at her eyes!

Thinking of this, Xie Yanwan became more and more restless. Although Concubine Lian drugged herself in order to match her with King Ning. But now the queen has given Xie Yanwan a headache, if there is another concubine......

Xie Yanwan is not afraid of facing the enemy by herself, but now Feng Qizhi is her shield but also her weakness, what she is afraid of is that Feng Qizhi will also be pulled into the whirlpool.

Seeing Xie Yanwan's appearance, Mama Lu smiled slightly, put her hand on her shoulder, looked her in the eyes, and asked, "Then, what does the girl think?" ”

Xie Yanwan faced her kind gaze, his heart beat for no reason, and asked tentatively: "Ah Zhi......"

But she didn't want to, Mama Lu directly interrupted her words and said gently: "Doesn't the girl still believe in the master?" ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "I naturally believe him." ”

"That's it."

Mama Lu smiled and patted her shoulder, and then said, "As long as the matter doesn't happen to you, it has nothing to do with us." It's not early, so let's have dinner. ”

Seeing Mama Lu change the topic, Xie Yanwan had to nod and say, "It's okay." ”

Xie Yanwan had the heart to wait for Feng Qizhi to come back and ask the questions in her heart, but she didn't expect that Feng Qizhi would never come back this night.

In the early morning, the birds outside the window chirped under the corridor, successfully waking up Xie Yanwan from his sleep.

She was so worried about things last night that she didn't sleep well at night, and she didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

The bed on his side was cold, Xie Yanwan frowned, withdrew his hand, and got out of bed silently.

Fengqi didn't return all night, where did he go?

But soon, Xie Yanwan didn't have time to think about this.

Before she had breakfast, she saw Mama Lu walk in from outside, and said with a little vigilance: "Girl, someone is in the palace." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan was slightly stunned and asked, "Whose person?" ”

It's just that Xie Yanwan didn't expect that the person who came was not the inner chamberlain next to any of the concubines, but the father-in-law next to the emperor.

"Lord Zhenhe, let's go with the miscellaneous family."

The father-in-law's appearance was neither humble nor arrogant, and after seeing Xie Yanwan, his tone was not contemptuous.

Seeing this, Mama Lu stuffed a purse and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, why is the county lord going?" ”

The father-in-law rejected the purse at the moment, and said lightly: "It is inconvenient for the miscellaneous family to disclose, and the county lord will know when he goes." ”

Seeing him like this, Xie Yanwan looked at Mama Lu and said, "Father-in-law is tired of waiting for me, Rong Zhenhe will change his clothes, and he will go with you." ”

After the inner eunuch turned around and left, Xie Yanwan's face suddenly turned cold, and said, "What did the emperor tell me to do?" ”

If it was summoned by other concubines, Xie Yanwan would not be so worried, but it was the emperor. Even if he doesn't care about political affairs for a long time, he is still the emperor who is in charge of life and death!

And Mama Lu was even more worried, she thought about it a little and said, "County Lord, the old slave will go with you." ”

Xie Yanwan rejected her proposal and said, "I'll take Chen Yi with me, Mama is waiting for news in the house, if there is really a situation, he will contact you." ”

"It's fine."

Xie Yanwan changed her clothes, so she didn't say anything more, and told Chen Yi to follow her secretly, and she got on the carriage road and drove towards the palace.

It rained heavily last night, and the air in the morning was a little more humid, and the red walls, green tiles, and green grass and trees seen along the road were all refreshing.

It's just that Xie Yanwan didn't have the intention of appreciating the scenery, just frowned and thought, why did the emperor summon himself at this time?

When he arrived at the imperial study, he could still hear the faint sound of speech coming from inside, Xie Yanwan was standing outside the hall waiting, and the inner eunuch who brought him had already gone in to spread the word.

Xie Yanwan listened attentively, but he didn't want to hear the queen's voice: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of this matter for the concubine and Ye'er!" ”

Then, it was Concubine Lian's sneering voice: "Sister, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't splash dirty water, Xiao'er is loyal and upright, and she can't do this." ”

Before Xie Yanwan could continue to listen, he saw the inner eunuch go and return, and lowered his hand and said, "County Lord, please." ”

She immediately withdrew her gaze, nodded in thanks, and walked in with her head held high.

"Long live the Emperor of Zhenhe."

Xie Yanwan's arrival broke the deadlock in the hall, and after she got the emperor's "flat body", she also had the opportunity to raise her head and look at the people in the hall.

Unexpectedly, the people who came today were exceptionally complete.

In addition to the queen and Concubine Lian, the crown prince and King Ning, who had been imprisoned for a long time, were also present.

Although Xie Yanwan said that she was holding the title of county lord, it was just in front of others, and today she was all higher in grade than her.

She saluted, but no one paid attention to her except Shangguan Hanxiao.

Seeing this, Xie Yanwan just raised his head puzzled with a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, and asked, "I don't know what the emperor called Zhenhe to come?" ”

Hearing this, before the emperor could speak, he heard the queen's heavy snort sound, and then he could hear Shangguan Hanye angrily asking, "Do you still have the face to ask?" Linlang is your sister after all, why are you so ruthless that you actually killed her with others! ”

When he said this, Xie Yanwan suddenly became vigilant, and then his face turned pale, he took a step back, and murmured, "Linlang is dead?" ”

"Lord Zhenhe is really doing a good job, yesterday Chu Chu pitifully said that Xie Linlang fell into the water, isn't it you?"

This was said by the queen, her voice was not loud, but there were knives in it.

Xie Yanwan looked up at the queen, tears instantly appeared in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yesterday, there was a thief in the palace, when the queen, your people arrived, although my sister fell into the water, she could still speak, at that time, those chamberlains had already gone into the water to rescue, why did my sister die?" And the words of the prince, please forgive Zhenhe for not understanding, what is called - conspiring with others to kill Linlang? ”

"Hmph, pie nonsense, what a thief, what fell into the water, it's obviously a lie you made up!" The queen's face was cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Xie Yanwan, do you think that you can clear your name with a few lies full of loopholes?" ”

Xie Yanwan stared at her without evasion, and asked, "Dare to ask the queen, what is Zhenhe's crime?" ”

The queen was stared at by her, and she felt a little hairy, and she said inwardly: "It is her private meeting with King Ning; After being discovered, the sister of the mouth was the second! There are all human and material evidence, do you think you have denied it? ”

Xie Yanwan's unclear place last night suddenly opened up, and the queen really made a move! And this move is also extremely vicious, she is trying to use this incident to beat herself into the dust. After all, a woman who fornicates with a man and kills her sister will not only no longer become the auspicious rui of the Western Chu Kingdom, but will also be nailed to the pillar of shame and scolded by everyone!

Not only that, but at the same time, it can also destroy King Ning, who is the most promising candidate for the throne, which can be described as a double victory.

"So, what are the human witnesses and what are the physical evidence?"

Hearing Xie Yanwan take the initiative to ask for evidence, the queen smiled coldly, and pointed to the palace who had been kneeling on the main hall from beginning to end and had never looked up: "The physical evidence is the jade pendant on the emperor's dragon case; The witness is her. ”

Xie Yanwan turned around and looked at the palace people kneeling in the center, it didn't matter, she recognized the woman's identity immediately.

It was the palace maid who helped her leave yesterday.

"Is that you?"

Seeing that she was recognized, Xue Wen kowtowed and replied, "It's the slave." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan said with a cold expression: "Since it is a human witness, then tell what you know, so that the county lord can understand what heinous crimes he has committed!" ”

She wanted to see how the queen reversed the layout of black and white!

Hearing this, the palace man named Xue Wen suddenly raised his head and said, "Yesterday, the slave maid passed by the dressing hall, heard someone calling for help, and when she didn't want to look over, she found that King Ning pinched Miss Xie's neck and threw her into the water. And at that time, the county lord was disheveled, and he was watching from the sidelines. After Miss Xie stopped struggling, the county lord, you pretended to be panicked and began to call for help, and King Ning had already left in a hurry. The slave and maid were not far away, and if they wanted to save Miss Xie's life, they went to meet you. But who would have thought that the slave maid was already too late. After separating you, the slave maid went to check on Miss Xie's situation and found that she had died of anger. ”

"Huh."

Xie Yanwan sneered and reprimanded: "What a lie full of loopholes! I ask you, if this is the case, why don't you expose the lord of the county in front of the queen, but stand up at this time? ”

Na Xuewen bit her lip and hesitated: "The slave maid was frightened at that time, and King Ning was powerful, and you are also known as the auspicious rui of the Western Chu Kingdom, the slave maid did not dare." ”

"Then why are you standing up again?"

Xue Wen's eyes were firm, and her face was upright: "Because the slave's conscience is still there, it reminds the slave and maid that even if they die, they must be afraid of power and seek justice!" ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan almost laughed angrily, she turned around and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this female faction is talking nonsense, this is not the case!" I wonder if the emperor is willing to listen to chastity and prove his innocence? ”

The emperor was so troubled by this incident that he heard her say this at this moment, because he said: "Get up and say it, I will never just listen to the words of my family and ignore people's lives." ”。
