A few days after Xiao Shanshan was placed under house arrest by Concubine Yi, the emperor's punishment also came, no matter what happened underwater, it was Xiao Shanshan who took blatant revenge and pushed Duan Rubian off the side, but she was just unlucky and was taken down.

No matter what, Xiao Shanshan is the one who makes the first move, no matter how Duan Rubian says that he is the county lord of the emperor, her father and fiancé are now resisting the barbarians at the border, for the sake of the two of them, Xiao Shanshan will be punished.

Emperor Yu thought about it left and right, and finally decided to beat Xiao Shanshan twenty boards, put people under house arrest in Yonghe Palace for three years, and punished Lu Mi for three years.

In order to express his guilt for her, the emperor bluntly said that she would stay in Zhongcui Palace and leave the palace until she was well.

Duan Ruhua was still busy getting married during this time, in order to express her sisterhood, when she entered the palace to discuss marriage with the queen, she also came to Zhongcui Palace to visit Duan Rufang, although the two got along for less than half an hour before she left, but because of this, she got a good reputation for caring for her sister in the community.

Murong Yan also secretly came to visit her and sent a lot of medicinal herbs and supplements.

Duan Qingxuan heard that she fell into the water, and also wanted to enter the palace to accompany her, but because of Qiu Yu, she was not allowed to come, Duan Qingxuan asked to see her several times to no avail, so he had to review well at her request, and heard that her body was getting better and better, and the anxiety in her heart was also much better.

Duan Rubian stayed in the palace for five days, because her body was cold, she couldn't walk much now, otherwise she would have to breathe, although it was not autumn yet, she also felt cold at night, and she had to burn the charcoal basin to sleep peacefully.

On this sunny day, Duan Rubian felt that he had been lying in Zhong Cui Palace for too long, too boring, so he asked Qinghe to help her go out for a walk, there was a small garden behind Zhong Cui Palace, which was specially built by the emperor for the concubine, although it was not big, but the pavilion fish pond was all there, Duan Rubian did not move much, so he sat by the pavilion to bask in the sun, and occasionally fed some food to the fish in the pool, leisurely.

Qing Heping withdrew Concubine Shu's maid and stood beside Duan Rufang: "Miss, the subordinates you ordered have been done, make sure that there is no mistake or omission, and it will be done as soon as tonight." Qinghe lowered his voice and said in Duan Rubian's ear.

"How long does the effect last?" Duan Rubian said slowly.

"At least a month, at most...... However, in two months, if the young lady wants to advance, she can do it. Qinghe thought for a moment and replied.

"Enough. Duan Rubian muttered, his eyes gloomy, "How about Yonghe Palace?"

"Last night, my subordinates heard that Concubine Yi heard that Miss was well, and planned to cry grievances with the emperor today, but Miss Yan Ming deliberately dragged Xiao Shanshan underwater and prevented her from going up. Qinghe frowned, "That mother and daughter are too scoundrels, miss, if the emperor really believes it......"

"It doesn't matter. Duan Rufang raised his lips, "The palace people of Kunning Palace, who asked you to keep an eye on a while ago, are there any changes now?"

"No, no. Qinghe was also confused, so she only had to answer Duan Rufang's question, but she didn't know why she wanted to inquire about the palace people of Kunning Palace.

"It's okay if you don't have it, you don't have to worry, I have my own plans for this. Duan Rufang looked at Qinghe and smiled meaningfully.

The two sat in the back garden for half an hour, and a palace maid came to the front hall, stammering and saying: "County Lord, the emperor led the concubine Niangniang and Concubine Yi, and the seventh princess is here, and the concubine Niangniang is receiving her, and the slave maid is coming to inform the county lord, Concubine Yi seems to be unfavorable to the county lord!"

The palace man was the confidant of Concubine Shu's side, she was afraid that she would come to report the news first, and without saying a word, Gonggong Song walked over, ignored the palace maid who reported the news, saluted Duan Rufang, and said, "The slave has seen the county lord." The county lord, the emperor sent the county lord to Zhong Cui Palace. ”

Duan Rubian was picked up by Qinghe and bowed to Gonggong Song, "Thank you father-in-law for the message, the courtiers will come soon." ”

Gonggong Song leaned over and took a step ahead, Duan Rubian followed, the two were separated by some distance, and the palace maid who had just reported the news whispered: "County Lord, Niangniang said that if Concubine Yi and the Seventh Princess mess around for a while, reversing black and white, the county lord will just not admit it, and Niangniang will keep the county lord safe." ”

Duan Rubian hooked his lips and smiled, and nodded at the palace maid.

Several people arrived at Zhongcui Palace together, the emperor sat at the top, Concubine Wan sat on the side of the bottom, Concubine Shu stood straight aside, did not sit down, and Concubine Yi and Xiao Shanshan stood with their heads hanging down, with great grievances on their faces.

After Duan Rubian entered the hall, he knelt on the ground, saluted and said, "The courtiers see the emperor and the concubine." ”

Seeing her sick appearance, the emperor thought that what Concubine Yi said was still untrue, so let her kneel like this, if she knelt with other problems, the gains outweighed the losses, not to mention that his concubine refused to sit in order to show her support for Duan Rufang.

The emperor sighed in his heart, raised his hand and said, "Get up, Dunhe, you are not feeling well, just sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you for your kindness. "Duan Ru's jaw is blessed.

Seeing that the emperor actually allowed Duan Rubian to sit down, Xiao Shanshan was anxious, and she didn't want to blurt out: "Father, why do you still let her sit down!" Duan Rubian wants to deliberately murder her son, so she should be arrested and put in prison.......

"Shut up!" Before Xiao Shanshan finished speaking, the emperor shouted at her: "This matter is still inconclusive, do you want you to teach me what to do!"

Xiao Shanshan shrunk her neck, knelt on the ground as soon as her legs and stomach became weak, and said again and again: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen doesn't dare!"

The emperor snorted coldly, Concubine Yi saw that this posture was not good, and hurriedly preemptively, "Your Majesty, what Shanshan said is true, this matter is about Shanshan's life, how dare she talk nonsense, besides, what Shanshan said is not untrustworthy, the county lord was accidentally pushed into the water by Shanshan, and the county lord wantonly retaliated and imprisoned Shanshan to prevent her from surviving, it is not impossible, Emperor!"

Concubine Yi had tears on her face, looking pitiful, compared to Xiao Shanshan's appearance, what she said was much more credible.

Seeing that the emperor's complexion had slowed down, Concubine Shu sneered on the side, "Concubine Yi's sister's face is really thick-skinned, if you want the concubine to say, the seventh princess is really a femme fatale, and pushed the county lord into the water in public, let her soak in the pool water until the cold air enters the body and leaves the root of the disease, not to mention, and now I am still worried that the county lord will pursue it, and make up this drama to put the county lord to death, it is really ...... Tsk tsk. ”

"You're spewing blood!" Xiao Shanshan retorted: "Although I really pushed her, she deliberately pulled me underwater, so that I couldn't surface on the surface, it was clearly a deliberate revenge, Duan Rufang dared to murder the crown prince, and the femme fatale was clearly her-"

"Who can prove what the princess said. Concubine Shu sneered, looked at the emperor at the head and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, what the Seventh Princess said cannot be verified at all, not to mention that the Seventh Princess still wants to harm the Lord of Dun and the county, what she said may be a fall into the well!"

The emperor pursed his lips and sighed, but did not respond to Concubine Shu, but looked at Duan Rufang, who was sitting silently in his position, "Dunhe, you also heard it, now that what Lao Qi wants to say is finished, do you have anything to report to me?"

Duan Rubian was silent for a long time, stood up with the handrail, knelt down with a bang, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers asked the emperor to be the master, and the seventh princess deliberately murdered the courtiers, not only pushing the courtiers into the water, but also using the courtiers as stepping stones when they were underwater, and ruthlessly kicked the courtiers to the bottom of the pool. The courtiers knew a little about water, and after swimming up, they saw that the princess was struggling, so they wanted to take the princess with them, but the princess didn't accept the courtier's love at all, and kicked the courtiers down in the end!"

Duan Rufang's words were exquisite, his voice was firm with a little choked, and under a closer look, the peach blossom eyes were full of tears, falling down his cheeks, such a silent aggrieved appearance, it was suddenly worrying, and Qinghe's hands kneeling on the side were pinched red.

Qinghe knew that Duan Rufang was familiar with water, and swimming ashore in that situation was not a problem, if no one was in the middle to obstruct it, it would be impossible to soak in the cold air at the bottom of the pool, Duan Rufeng would not gamble with his life, so Xiao Shanshan must have made a hindrance!

Concubine Wan was watching the play above, her big red lips pursed a curvature, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at this, the Seventh Princess and the Lord of Dunhe have their own words, which one is lying?"

The emperor did not speak.

Concubine Wan continued: "According to the concubine, what these two sides say cannot prove themselves, then, the seventh princess, Dunhe and the county lord, the two of you, who has a certificate?"

Xiao Shanshan's drooping face hooked a smug smile, she knelt down and stepped forward, and said, "Father, the noble concubine, the son asks for permission to let the son of the minister come in!"

The emperor's face was inexplicable, and he nodded for a moment, "Let people in." ”

Concubine Yi and Xiao Shanshan stood up and ordered the people around them to call people.

Xiao Shanshan couldn't help the smile on her face, looked at Concubine Shu and said, "Speaking of which, Concubine Shu, the person's certificate of the son, has something to do with Concubine Shu!"

After Xiao Shanshan finished speaking, Concubine Shu knew who this person was.

After a while, the big palace maid beside Concubine Yi led a palace maid and walked up.

The palace maid knelt on the ground and finished saluting, the emperor asked her identity, and the palace maid said: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid is the maid next to the lady concubine, and on the day the county lord and the princess fell into the water, among the several palace maids who went down to save people, there were slaves and maids." ”

"Although the slave didn't see all of it, she saw some of it. The palace maid slowed down and said: "The slave maid saw with her own eyes that under the water, the county lord hugged the seventh princess to death, and then I was afraid that the county lord couldn't hold it anymore, so the seventh princess was able to escape!"

"Nonsense...... Concubine Shu was angry, and was about to excuse Duan Rufang, Concubine Wan glanced over with a sharp look: "Concubine Shu, the emperor hasn't spoken yet, but it's not your turn to talk nonsense, you defend the county lord of Dunhe so much, excuse her, could it be that what this palace maid said is true, you can't do it!"
