Yan Wan described, Han Ji took the pen and drew it quickly on the paper.

Han Ji took the painting and confirmed it to Yan Wan: "But this look? ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Yan Wan's eyes, looked at Han Ji's eyes, and then said affirmatively: "It's him." ”

The concubine wanted to step forward to see the portrait in Han Ji's hand, but heard Han Ji say: "Niangniang, you don't have to look at it, isn't it okay if someone brings a confrontation?" After speaking, he handed the portrait to Cao Ziqing, and said loudly: "Please also ask Lord Cao to find out this person and give this matter justice." ”

Cao Ziqing took the portrait, answered, turned to Xuan Ye and Xiaozhuang, saluted, and withdrew.

The wait was half an hour, and there was no news at all. Xuan Ye sent Nalan Rongruo out again, and before leaving, Han Ji painted the same painting again and sent it to him: "My lord, this person is so important, he must come and find it." ”

Not long after Nalan Rongruo left, he heard the voice of the concubine: "Your Majesty, there has been no news for so long, I'm afraid there is no such person in Yingtai." ”

Xuan Ye was silent, Yan Wan was still kneeling on the ground, but instead smiled: "What are you anxious about?" Yingtai is not small, right, don't you have to work hard to find someone? There are so many people tonight, how do you know that this little eunuch is not pretending to be someone? ”

"Is Yi Concubine so convinced that there is such a person?" The concubine sneered: "As my sister said, we have no grudges, why should I harm you?" It's just the nonsense of a palace maid in my palace, and I don't know who bought me to sow discord with my sister and you. Sister Yi, don't believe it. ”

"Yan Wan is your palace maid and my sister's apprentice. What's the benefit of her biting you back at this time? Could it be that you have to say that it is my sister who wants to harm you? Chun Xi snorted coldly: "Just as there is no grudge between us, does my sister have a grudge against you?" ”

The concubine couldn't say anything about her, so she chose to keep her mouth shut. If things continue like this, nothing will change, so why should she cause more trouble. It is impossible for them to find people, so why bother to talk and entangle with them.

An hour had passed, and everyone had waited impatiently, when a man walked in front of the door.

Everyone looked up, and Concubine Rong walked in gracefully.

"The concubines ask the ancestors for peace and the emperor." The appearance of Rong Concubine is very unexpected.

Xuan Ye didn't understand how she, who had been acting low-key for several years, could suddenly appear on such an occasion, he looked at her and asked, "Let's get up." How did you get here? ”

Concubine Rong said: "The concubine heard that the emperor was looking for a eunuch, and it happened that a short-sighted person broke into the concubine's residence and let the concubine arrest her." I was afraid that the emperor was looking for someone, so I sent it over. On the way, I met Lord Cao and Lord Nalan, and the two took out the portraits in their hands and compared them, but they didn't expect it to be such a person. The concubine didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the two adults over. ”

After speaking, Cao Ziqing and Nalan Rongruo walked in one after another, and brought back a person who looked like a eunuch behind them.

"Your Majesty, someone has found it." Cao Ziqing escorted people forward.

When the concubine heard this, she suddenly turned her head and saw the person in Cao Ziqing's hand clearly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has never seen this person, and the concubine is wronged." The concubine shouted that he was wronged, but Xuan Ye turned a deaf ear.

The portraits on Cao Ziqing and Nalan Rongruo's hands were spread out, and they were indeed exactly the same as the people they caught.

"Your Majesty, this person is hiding everywhere while he is tracking. fled to many places, but I didn't expect to hide in Concubine Rong's house. Fortunately, the people around Niangniang were able to do so that this person did not escape. Cao Ziqing also ignored the concubine's shouting of grievances, and pointed to people.

"yes." Concubine Rong also nodded: "At that time, the concubines were all ready to change clothes and sleep, who would have thought that there would be more people in the house." frightened the concubine, and several people worked together to catch him. ”

When Xuan Ye heard this, he was even more angry: "Who are you?" Why did you hide in Concubine Rong's house? ”

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life." The little eunuch was already so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried: "The slave is only acting on orders, and the slave is also forced." ”

"By whose orders? What to do? Xuan Ye asked again.

"Slave ......" The little eunuch looked up and looked around, and finally stopped his gaze on the concubine: "Yes...... It's this mother. She asked her servants to loosen the pillars of the stage before Yi Concubine Niangniang took the stage. ”

"You are talking nonsense, I haven't seen you at all, how can I blackmail you and make you do things for me?" The concubine was furious, if it weren't for Cao Ziqing standing next to her, I'm afraid she would have stepped forward and tore up with the little eunuch.

"Slaves don't dare to talk nonsense." The little eunuch trembled and retreated a little, and was frightened by the concubine's movements: "Today afternoon, Niangniang threatened the slave's family and promised the slave a lot of gold. It is said that it is to be disguised as an accident, and the gods do not know it, so that they will not get into trouble. After the deed is done, more money will be given to the minions. ”

"Your Majesty, the money that Weichen received from this person for this matter." Nalan Rongruo took out a bag of gold from his arms and presented it to Xuan Ye.

When the concubine saw this, she immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, this person has wronged his concubine, and the concubine doesn't know him, and he didn't give him any gold." How could a concubine have the guts to do such a thing? ”

"Before, did you say that as long as you find someone, you will recognize everything? Aren't you sure that there is no such person in this Yingtai, who keeps saying that your palace maid has wronged you? Xuan Ye got up angrily, and threw the two portraits in front of her with a wave of his hand: "Look at it, is this the person on the portrait." ”

The concubine trembled, but she didn't take the two pieces of paper, she stared at them like this, and shook her head vigorously: "No, it's not like this. Your Majesty, the concubines really haven't seen him. This matter has nothing to do with the concubines, Your Majesty, you believe in the concubines, believe in the concubines. ”

"How can I believe you?" Xuan Ye said disappointedly: "This is no longer a one-sided statement, is it?" We haven't seen this person, and Han Ji hasn't seen it either. She just relied on Yan Wan's words to draw the appearance of people. Cao Ziqing and Nalan Rongruo went out to find him for more than an hour, this person was hiding everywhere, if he didn't make a mistake, how did he know that someone was looking for him? I didn't even mention the collapse of the platform in front of him, so how could he accurately say that you instructed him to manipulate those pillars before Chun'er took the stage? Said, the same as Yan Wan's testimony? ”

The concubine's face turned green, and listening to Xuan Ye's accusations, she didn't even have the heart to complain. It's a foregone conclusion, so what can she do?

The horse stumbled, can it still be saved?

The concubine glanced around desolately, Concubine Tong looked indifferent, and Concubine Jing looked even more like a good show. Chunxi still had a cold face, and Han Ji was in Fuquan's arms, looking at her silently.

The only one beside her who knelt on the ground with her and cried was Yan Wan.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xuan Ye said again: "What? Still not pleading guilty? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines are innocent, and the concubines are good, why do you want to harm them?" After the great sorrow, she had returned to peace, and the concubine knew that it would be difficult for her to get out of this gate today. But she is as calm as ever, and she will not let go of even the slightest hope.

On weekdays, on the surface, the relationship between the concubine and the concubine is good. The concubine is not the concubine of the year, she does not have that impulse. She can speak well, although she can't be left and right, but she will not offend others on the surface and cause trouble for herself for no reason. This is also the way for her to survive in the palace for so many years.

"The slave knows." Yan Wan, who had already been silent beside her, spoke: "A few days ago, the slave maid once heard Jasmine from Changchun Palace come back and mention it. said that the concubine Niangniang met Yi Concubine Niangniang in the evening, and was counted down by Yi Concubine Niangniang, and she was angry. ”

"Oh? What's going on? Xuan Ye looked at Chunxi.

Chun Xi was silent for a while, pretending to reminisce, and then said: "The concubine remembered, when she returned to the palace from the imperial garden, she happened to meet the concubine's concubine. At that time, the concubine also came down to talk to the concubine for a while, and the concubine casually mentioned the matter of Ama entering Beijing by order. The two argued for a few words, but didn't say anything inappropriate. ”

"Is it for today's banquet?" Xuan Ye glanced at the concubine suspiciously, and said, "No wonder you suddenly came to intercede with me, saying that you wanted to ask for a place for your Ama at today's banquet." If I don't agree, you will be jealous of Chun'er? ”

The concubine raised her head, her eyes full of tears: "The concubine doesn't have it, why should the concubine be jealous of such a thing?" Although the concubine's Ama can't appear on such an occasion, it's good that the concubine has the emperor's favor. On that day, the emperor also said that the rules had been set, and he would not change them for one person. How could a concubine harm a concubine because of such a thing. Even if you have a hatred for Yi Concubine, you don't have to be so ruthless. I wouldn't choose to lose the royal face on such an occasion. Your Majesty, concubines don't have to do this. ”

"Whether there is or not, you know in your own heart." Hearing her sophistry, Chunxi felt even more annoyed. The hatred between them could not be just because of this dispute?

There are so many things that happened in previous years, which one has nothing to do with her? At this time, even Concubine Tong and the others didn't speak, treating them indifferently, thinking about it, it was really a failure for the concubine in this life.

has been used for so long and done so many things, but he has made a wedding dress for others. At this moment, no one on such an occasion has ever been willing to say a good word for her.

People can change a lot of things with just one of their mouths, but sometimes they can't change anything. If someone is willing to say a word for her now, maybe things will turn a little bit around. But now it seems that the concubine may not have such good luck.

Once the chess pieces are useless, they will only be discarded.

Chunxi suddenly felt that such a vicious woman had done all the bad things, but she also had pity.

In this life, I'm afraid that except for Queen Renxiao, no one has treated her sincerely. Without the concubines of Queen Renxiao, they are like a speck of dust, flying everywhere, but there is no time to land. That's why she's willing to trust someone who she knows isn't credible.
