A woman dressed in a peach-colored gown stood under a gardenia tree, looking up at the gardenias that had long since withered.

"The snow and ice flowers are cool and clear, and the spirit is beautiful in the depths of the curved column." The woman smiled bitterly and said desolately: "The flowers are blooming and failing, you are only nineteen years old, and when you are in the prime of life, do you just say you will leave?" ”

Seeing the sad face of his master, he asked puzzledly, "Who is the master talking about?" ”

Tian Mi smiled faintly and said to the coffin: "You will tell you what I told you when you finish it." ”

The son scratched his head and pouted: "The word has been spread, but the slave doesn't understand that since the master knows these things, why don't you help the master hide them, and let the slave spread it out." This is ruining my reputation. ”

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, if you haven't done it, you don't have to be afraid of these rumors. If you really do this, then I will die as soon as possible. Tian Mi said indifferently: "You are confused, you can live happily, I really want to be like you." You'd better never understand what I'm doing,. ”

She wanted to say something and stopped, she wanted to ask for clarification. The questions in her heart crawled like ants, and she really wanted to understand the things that her master was hiding.

Gardenia's death has long been known to everyone, but with her death, there have been a lot of rumors. Among them, the most popular is that the third elder brother Yinzhi had an affair with Gardenia, and Gardenia Yun became pregnant. In order to hide this matter, Yinzhi's biological mother, Concubine Rong, ruthlessly attacked Yuyun, causing Yiyun to die twice.

This is true or false, after all, Yuyun was indeed the palace maid by Yinzhi's side, and many people know that Yinzhi takes care of her. Gradually, the credibility of this matter increased greatly.

When this matter was circulating in the Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye was hunting outside the fortress. By the time Xuan Ye returned to the palace, this matter was already known to everyone.

"The emperor is angry, this matter should not be credulous, it must be made up by someone to wronged the third elder brother and Yu agreed." It happened that Chun Xi was accompanying Xuan Ye, in order to prevent Xuan Ye from getting angry, Chun Xi patiently persuaded him: "It's better to call the third elder brother over first, you should always give him a chance to defend." ”

Wei Yangji, who was standing and waiting on the side, also persuaded: "Yes, the third elder brother already has a concubine Fujin, and there is a side Fujin of the Tian family, how can he have anything to do with the promise of Gardenia?" Could it be that someone wants to take the opportunity to make a fuss about this matter, make a storm, and make a profit? ”

"Let the coffin be opened for an autopsy, and the body promised by Gardenia has not yet been buried, so it will be examined immediately." Xuan Ye calmed down a bit, and immediately ordered: "Then let the consultant take the roster of the servants in the Jingshi room in recent months, and I will personally check it." Let Yinzhi come and see you immediately. ”

The people outside the door didn't dare to slack off, and their feet were like grease, and they ran out of the Qianqing Palace quickly.

Soon, the consultant came over with the roster and handed it over to Xuan Ye for inspection. And the old lady and the imperial doctor who performed the autopsy also quickly came to the Qianqing Palace to reply.

"Gardenia promised to be indeed pregnant, and Gardenia promised to die, because of the overtaking of blood-invigorating drugs, resulting in a large amount of bleeding and two lives." These words were like a bolt from the blue, as if they were confirming those rumors little by little.

Xuan Ye Tie blushed and looked at the booklet in his hand again, threw it out with force, and said angrily: "Let Concubine Rong meet you." ”

Ma Jia Yiqing had already heard the news of Xuan Ye's anger in the Qianqing Palace, and was nervous, when she saw the little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace coming to invite her. Trying to calm myself, I was thinking about countermeasures along the way, thinking about words to argue for a while.

Entering the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, seeing that Yinzhi had come, he knelt on the ground with red eyes, muttered and argued, and didn't even explain his words.

I thought that there were only people from the Qianqing Palace in the hall, but I never thought that Xuan Ye was still sitting next to him. This surprised Ma Jia Yiqing a little and began to panic.

"The concubines see the emperor's ......"

Before Ma Jia Yiqing finished speaking, he saw Xuan Ye angrily scolding: "How did you teach your son?" He did such a rebellious thing. ”

Ma Jia Yiqing was stunned by this roar, and her feet collapsed on the ground, and tears immediately came out.

Seeing her like this, Chunxi only mocked in her heart, she was so unfrightened.

"The concubine deserves death, and I just ask the emperor to find out what happened. Yinzhi can't do such a thing. Actually, Ma Jia Yiqing is still very weak when she says these words, she can't confirm whether Yinzhi and Gardenia Yun have an affair, and she can't be sure whether Gardenia Yun is carrying Yinzhi's flesh and blood.

"Humph! Why do you defend him so much? Xuan Ye sneered: "The good son you taught, the good son you talk about all day long, is this such a good method?" It was you who spoiled him too much that he dared to do such a ridiculous thing. ”

"Erchen didn't, Erchen would never dare to do such a rebellious thing." Yinzhi trembled and defended himself.

"If you don't misbehave, where do these rumors come from?" Xuan Ye accused: "I also heard that you pestered Gardenia three or four times to agree, and the two of them couldn't stop talking as soon as they met. She's your mother-in-law, why don't you know how to hide it? This is well known, how can I believe you? ”

Just when Xuan Ye was furious, Wei Yangji came in from outside the door and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the third elder brother is asking to see the Jintian clan outside. ”

"Nope." Xuan Ye said angrily.

"Fang Fujin said that there is something important to return, which concerns the innocence of the third elder brother, and asked the emperor to see her." Wei Yang said again.

"Since it is an important matter, and it is related to the third elder brother, the emperor still invites her in and listens to what she has to say." Without waiting for Xuan Ye to speak, Xuan Xi had already preemptively spoken.

Xuan Ye nodded silently, Wei Yangji immediately turned around and went out, and soon welcomed Tian Mi into the door.

Tian Mi is still wearing a peach-colored big gauze flower robe, with a pair of red jade bead crested hairpins obliquely inserted on her two heads, and a peach-colored silk flower in the center of her hair bun, which is outlined with gold threads, which looks particularly dazzling.

Tian Mi's dress made Ma Jia Yiqing very uncomfortable, she didn't like bewitching women the most, let alone on such an occasion, she was dressed so gorgeously.

Tian Mi bowed to Xuan Ye, and shouted respectfully and politely: "The concubines see Huang Ama, see Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, and Third Elder Brother." ”

"Tell me, what do you have important things to report?" Xuan Ye didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with her on etiquette, so he asked directly.

Tian Mi smiled lightly, took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Wei Yangqi next to her, and then said: "This is what the concubine got from a palace maid named Lixue next to Yu, she hid this letter on her body, and was found when the concubine searched her body. This letter is Gardenia's last promise, and it sets out the truth about her misfortune and death. Wanghuang Ama is in charge, and the third elder brother is innocent, and he also promises peace after death. ”

Xuan Ye read the letter suspiciously, and then asked, "Who is Li He mentioned in the letter?" ”

Hearing Li He's name, Yinzhi raised his head again: "Yes...... He was the son's guard. ”

When Xuan Ye heard this, he said angrily: "Since it is your guard, why do you have to deal with Gardenia?" Even gave your guards a chance to defile my concubine? Yinzhi, you can't escape the blame. ”

Yinzhi was also stunned, he had no idea what was going on. Ma Jia Yiqing sensed that something was wrong between Xuan Ye's words, and immediately reacted and defended Yinzhi: "Your Majesty, Yinzhi has always been obsessed with his studies and misdisciplined the guards and the people around him. What's more, Gardenia promised to be the palace maid by Yinzhi's side, and I am afraid that she has long been familiar with Li He, and it is not necessarily true that the two have a private relationship. In order to facilitate the two of them, Yinzhi was used as a cover, and this was the rumor from the outside world. In fact, Yinzhi's favorite thing is his side Fujin, how can it have anything to do with Gardenia? Besides, Gardenia agreed to live in Zhongcui Palace, if there is really anything with Yinzhi, how can the concubine not know? ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Tian Mi.

Tian Mi smiled knowingly, and then said: "Since Erchen entered the palace, the third elder brother has loved Erchen very much. If he had his thoughts on other women, how could his sons not know? Since it has been clearly written in the last letter that Gardenia promised her, it was Li He who raped her, which led to the later tragedy. It has nothing to do with the third elder brother. ”

Chunxi watched the two of them sing and harmonize, only smiled silently and continued to watch the play.

Ma Jia Yiqing said again: "Presumably, it was also Gardenia who promised to know that she was pregnant with the thief's child, and she was ashamed and angry, and wanted to kill the evil seed in her abdomen, so she took too much blood-invigorating medicine, resulting in excessive blood loss, and one corpse and two lives." ”

Xuan Ye didn't want to listen to their arguments anymore, who can tell if it's true or false now?

"Put Li He in prison, and I will interrogate him personally." Xuan Ye squinted at the kneeling person on the ground, and said, "I hope what you say is true, otherwise I will never spare it." ”

Hearing Xuan Ye say this, the three people who were kneeling quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xuan Ye personally interrogated Li He, he also learned the truth from Li He's mouth. It turned out that Li He had already fallen in love with Gardenia, but Gardenia had never liked to take care of him. On duty that day, seeing that there was nothing important, he secretly drank with a few colleagues, and ended up getting drunk.

Later, he met Gardenia, who went to the Imperial Garden alone to admire the moon, and followed her. When there was no one around, he had a bad idea and dragged Gardenia Yun into the rockery and raped him.

After sobering up, Li He also regretted it, but everything was irreparable.

Knowing the truth of the matter, Xuan Ye beheaded Li He and buried Yu Yun's body. It's just that Yuyun's body is unclean and she can't be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and it is impossible to leave a word in the history books.

Because this matter is about Yinzhi, and Yinzhi can't escape the blame no matter what. Xuan Ye reprimanded Yinzhi and rectified the people around Yinzhi. And Oro Dai, as the leader of the Zhongcui Palace generation responsible for guarding, was also degraded and innocently implicated.

This matter is understood, and Tian Mi is the only beneficiary. Because of this incident, Ma Jia Yiqing's attitude towards her has improved greatly, and Yinzhi is even more obedient to her.

"It's just getting started. The debt you owe will one day be repaid. Tian Mi burned the letterhead in her hand, and this letter was another of the two letters that Gardenia Tuo Lixue handed her to.

In this letter, the whole truth of the whole thing is revealed.

That night, on the night when Gardenia Yun was defiled, it was actually Yinzhi who was in a bad mood and asked several people around him to drink with him, so that Li He would get drunk and Gardenia Yun would lose his innocence.

Ma Jia Yiqing is the murderer who killed Yuyun, and Yinzhi is the original sin. She won't let them go.
