Yun Xi is a palace maid in her twenties, with a look that stands out from everyone else, and her face is trembling, which is very consistent with the image of cowardice and cowardice in Lan Gui's mouth. As soon as she entered the hall, she fell to the ground and trembled: "The slave can testify, the slave ...... I once saw with my own eyes that Li Rongan's father-in-law pushed Concubine Shun off Fuhai! ”

The faces of the queen and Li Rongan, the master and servant, turned white.

Li Rongan had no choice but to kowtow again and again, shouting: "The slave is wronged!" ”

The queen was calm and calm, but there was already a layer of cold sweat in her palms, and she hurriedly asked: "Since Concubine Shun acted alone that night, why did you appear on the Fuhai beach?!" ”

Yun Xi shrank on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The slave saw that Niangniang hadn't returned for a long time, so he was really worried, so he went out to look for it, and was looking for it along Fuhai, but he didn't expect to see ......" Yun Xi seemed to be frightened, and his body trembled even more.

The queen gritted her teeth and suddenly roared: "You are talking nonsense! In the dead of night! How can you tell who pushed Concubine Shun?! ”

Yun Xi hurriedly said, "Although it was late at night, it was Chinese New Year's Eve!" The fireworks in the sky continued, and the light of the fireworks illuminated it, and the slave could see it clearly at a glance that it was Li Rongan and Li Gonggong who pushed Concubine Shun into the water! ”

Ying Yue squinted her eyes and said in her heart, although this little palace maid looked timid, her answer was not chaotic at all! As if she expected the queen to ask something, no...... I anticipated all the possibilities of questioning in advance, so I was able to answer them fluently!

In the world, where did such a coincidence come from, first she saw the conversation between Li Rongan and Concubine Shun, and then someone happened to see Li Rongan pushing Concubine Shun off the shore of Fuhai?! And it was about to reflect the bright light of the fireworks, and I saw it really?

This Yunxi is committing perjury!

But it's perfect perjury!!

The queen's face was like earth in an instant!

Qianlong's old face also sank, "Empress, what else do you have to say?!" ”

The queen's lips were pale and trembling faintly, "Your Majesty, all this is just a palace maid's words!" The concubine is wronged! ”

Qianlong was silent for a while, "Indeed, I can't suspect the queen of murdering concubines because of the words of a palace maid." ”

These words made the queen show a look of surprise, and she couldn't help but cry gratefully: "Thank you for the emperor's trust!" ”

Then His Majesty Qianlong's eyes were cold and dark.

Obviously, Qianlong did not believe the queen, and it can even be said that Qianlong had believed Yun Xi's words and believed in Lan Guiren's denunciation. But Qianlong was very angry with Concubine Shun, and the queen killed Concubine Shun, of course Qianlong could not dispose of the queen because of this.

Concubine Shun's death, even if it is ironclad, it is impossible to bring down the queen.

What's more, now there are only witnesses, not ironclad evidence.

Ying Yue was a little puzzled in her heart, this would not be unexpected by the concubine, right? At the beginning, Concubine Shun's death was framed on Concubine Ling's head, wasn't Concubine Ling safe and sound?

Lan Guiren's Xiuya's eyes were anxious, "Your Majesty—"

His Majesty Qianlong waved his hand: "The cause of Concubine Shun's death, I will investigate thoroughly." ”

This is obviously perfunctory.

Lan Guiren bit her lip, "Your Majesty, what the concubine wants to say is that the reason why Sister Shun died was because she knew the secret of the queen's mother, so she was killed!" ”

The queen immediately rebuked: "Ridiculous!! ”

Lan Guiren looked up at His Majesty Qianlong, "The emperor doesn't know that Mama Zhou, who taught Sister Shun the rules and etiquette in her early years, was once the palace maid next to Emperor Huixian's concubine!" It was from her mouth that Sister Shun knew a big secret! ”

Qianlong frowned deeply, "What secret?!" ”

Lan Guiren kowtowed heavily: "Emperor Huixian's concubine and Prince Duanhui were both killed by someone!" ”

Emperor Huixian's concubine and Duanhui's prince were both killed!

This sentence was tantamount to a thunderclap that exploded in the ears of everyone in Nanmu Hall. Even His Majesty Qianlong couldn't sit still, he suddenly stood up, and his face changed drastically: "What did you say?!" ”

Lan Guiren looked up at His Majesty Qianlong, and said slowly and forcefully: "Your Majesty, this Mama Zhou is accompanying the wife of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang at this moment, and she is in Hangzhou!" ”

It is about his eldest son and beloved concubine Gao, even if there is a possibility, His Majesty Qianlong also wants to get to the bottom of it, he immediately ordered: "Wang Jinbao, immediately summon this person into the palace!" ”

"Huh!"

Concubine Ling hurriedly raised her head and said: "Your Majesty, since it is related to the cause of Prince Duanhui's death, the concubine thinks that the eldest princess should be urgently summoned to the palace." ”

On this southern tour, there were only two princesses who went south, one was the youngest ninth princess, and the other was the eldest princess. Due to the fatigue of the journey, when she arrived in Hangzhou, the eldest princess had been resting. After all, he is not young anymore.

Qianlong nodded heavily, "Yes, you should summon Hejing to come." Qianlong glanced at Concubine Ling, who was still kneeling on the ground and had not gotten up, raised his hand, and said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Ling thanked her softly.

The eldest princess came very quickly, but after half an hour, she appeared in the Nanmu Palace. The eldest princess glanced at Concubine Ling, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Greetings to Khan Amma!" ”

Ying Yue secretly thought, only to the emperor to say goodbye? But you didn't say hello to the queen?

And the eldest princess was dressed in auspicious clothes, with good appearance, and she came in half an hour, this speed ...... I'm afraid it's ready early in the morning. Coupled with her attitude of ignoring the queen, the eldest princess probably knew what was going to happen today.

Concubine Ling...... I have ventilated with Princess Celestia in advance.

The eldest princess had an eager look in her eyes: "Khan Ama, you suddenly summoned your daughter to the palace, but what happened?" ”

His Majesty Qianlong raised his hand to show reassurance: "When it comes to some things in the early years, I don't know if it's true or not, don't worry, wait for the witness to come." ”

The eldest princess managed to calm down and glanced at Concubine Ling again.

Ling Guifei smiled kindly, and hurriedly narrated what had just happened, "At this moment, it's just the words of Lan Guiren, don't worry, princess." ”

The eldest princess turned her head to look at the queen, her eyes a little cold.

The queen said with a straight face: "This palace has a clear conscience!" "The queen's neck is straight, and she is not afraid. What is she afraid of, Prince Duanhui was not killed by her! But......

Thinking of what happened back then, the queen still trembled, although it was not her hand, but ......

At this time, Wang Jinbao raised his voice and reported: "Long live Lord, Mama Zhou has arrived!" ”

"Biography!"

The next moment, I saw Wang Jinbao leading a woman in a brown robe, this woman was very neatly dressed, her hair was meticulously combed, and she walked in with low eyebrows, knelt down upright, kowtowed, and the etiquette was tenths square.

"Slave Zhou, please be safe to the Lord of Long Live! Greetings to the Queen! Mama Zhou knocked her head on the smooth Nanmu floor, prostrate respectfully.

Such rules and etiquette do seem to come out of the palace.

"Raise your head!" His Majesty Qianlong raised his voice.
