Chapter 056: The Queen Mother is a guarantee
readx;? Shen Che's face was a little dark, and he stared at Han Meiren tightly, as if he wanted to see something from her face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But after watching it for a long time, Han Meiren had no other look in her eyes except for grievances, and she really didn't seem to know about this fascination.
"In that corner, there is still incense ash that hasn't been cleaned up, how do you explain it?" Shen Che pointed with his hand, allowing Han Meiren to see the handful of incense ash.
Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed on Han Meiren's face, as if she really didn't know how to explain, she just shook her head, but didn't say a word.
"Looks like you're acquiescing. Shen Che said, "Come on, Han Meiren used aphrodisiac incense in the dormitory without permission, misbehaved, and entered the cold palace!"
Hearing this, Han Meiren was shocked, she didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yi, who was gentle with her last night, would turn his face in just one night's effort, and he would also send her into the cold palace!
Thinking of what happened in the harem in the past month or so, and thinking of the fate of the other concubines, Han Meiren suddenly became clear, and then said loudly: "Your Highness, the concubine is really wronged! This aphrodisiac incense, someone must have framed the concubine, Your Highness must be aware of it, and you can't let the villain blind you!"
"Framed, who will frame you?" asked Shen Che in a cold voice.
"Yes...... It's Lu Meiren! It's her! Didn't Your Highness hear the rumors in the palace recently? She did everything, and if she wanted to compete for favor, she framed the other sisters again and again, and it was her! This must have been done by her!" Han Meiren shouted hysterically.
In fact, Han Meiren didn't have any evidence, but she had heard too many rumors, so she had a preconceived idea in her heart, plus she really didn't know about this aphrodisiac, except for Lu Yingquan, she couldn't think of anyone else who would harm her in such a way.
And Shen Che, who heard these words, really revealed a touch of murderous intent.
If at the beginning, she just wanted to put Han Meiren into the cold palace and save her life, then now, because she framed Lu Yingquan for no reason, Shen Che felt that she couldn't keep her.
Because Lu Yingquan is doing things for him now, and he is also a woman who feels good in this palace, if he stays with Han Meiren, it is equivalent to adding an enemy to Lu Yingquan. In this way, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao will definitely be tied up, because Han Meiren will definitely not let go of any opportunity to hit Lu Yingquan.
The murderous intent in Shen Che's eyes was undisguised, and all of them fell into the eyes of Han Meiren.
Han Mei's heart was cold, she just mentioned Lu Yingquan, Shen Che actually wanted to kill her? Is this Lu Yingquan really that important in Shen Che's heart?
Or is it ...... His Royal Highness knew that all the turmoil in the harem was done by Lu Yingquan, but he still did not hesitate to favor her?
Just when Han Meiren felt despair in her heart, suddenly a notice came from outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived-"
Hearing this voice, Shen Che's eyes flashed slightly, but Han Meiren seemed to see a savior. She knew that the Queen Mother had never liked Lu Yingquan, as long as she explained things clearly to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would definitely not let Lu Yingquan go like this.
"Queen Mother, please be the master of your concubines! The concubines really don't know what happened, the concubines have been wronged—" Han Meiren continued to cry.
After Empress Dowager Jiang came in, she sat straight on the main seat, and the red lotus, who was originally following her, quietly came to Han Meiren's side and helped her.
That's right, the Queen Mother was called by Red Lotus. Honglian originally planned to wait for Han Meiren to get up, but she heard the conversation between Shen Che and Han Meiren at the gate of the hall, and when she heard Shen Che asking Han Meiren about the aphrodisiac incense, she knew in her heart that things might be going in a bad direction, so she rushed out and found the queen to call the shots.
In fact, Honglian is also really clever, she found the right person when she looked for the Queen Mother. Because in the entire Yiwang Palace, there is only one person who can make Shen Che obedient.
Empress Dowager Jiang originally didn't care about these things in the harem, but in the past month or so, there have been constant turmoil in the harem, and even the dead have been, so she didn't ask a word. But this Han beauty, she suddenly wanted to take care of it.
Why? Just because Han Meiren had a book to call Shen Che out of Linglong Pavilion, and even succeeded in keeping him in the palace for the night.
It wasn't that no concubine had tried before, and those who pretended to be sick and sought death tried all kinds of ways to call Shen Che away from Linglong Pavilion, wanting to share Lu Yingquan's favor, but no one succeeded.
Even if he called people away, Shen Che only stayed elsewhere for a short time before returning to Linglong Pavilion.
Shen Che's love for Lu Yingquan has already made the Queen Mother feel frightened. She was still suspicious of Lu Yingquan's identity, and she didn't know that Lu Yingquan had already reached an alliance with Shen Che, she just thought that if Shen Che really loved a woman too much, and accidentally leaked all his plans, it would not be good.
Therefore, now there is such a woman, whether it is sincere or tricky, who can let Shen Che stay by her side for one night, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, this woman has the ability to compete with Lu Yingquan.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Jiang opened her mouth to comfort Han Meiren: "Don't panic, say something slowly, if you are really wronged, then the mourning family will definitely make decisions for you." ”
The Queen Mother was very calm, as if with a kind of magic, which made Han Meiren calm down quickly, and then told the cause and effect of the matter.
Han Mei has a straight temperament, so naturally she has something to say, she will not beat around the bush, and even said what she doubted about Lu Yingquan.
In fact, when Shen Che heard this, he already knew in his heart that Han Meiren was wronged. With Han Meiren's upright temperament, she couldn't think of this kind of trick to keep him, she should have been used by someone with a heart.
Just when he was about to open his mouth and say it, he heard the Queen Mother speak again: "The palace has been quite unquiet recently, and those gossips, the mourning family has not heard them." It's just that Lu Meiren has always been in a safe corner and stays at home in Linglong Pavilion, so the mourning family doesn't take these things to heart. But since Han Meiren has suspicions, the mourning family still has to call people to ask and clarify things, so as not to ...... harem and more iniquity. ”
"The slave will send someone to invite Lu Meiren. Wushuang listened to the Queen Mother's words, consciously walked outside, and sent someone to Linglong Pavilion to call someone.
When Wushuang returned to the Queen Mother, he saw the Queen Mother beckoning and asked something in Wushuang's ear. I saw Wushuang stunned, bowed his head and whispered beside the Queen Mother:
"Except for the Han Beauty Palace last night, the rest of the place was normal, Linglong Pavilion was quiet as usual, and Lu Meiren never came out. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded, but she was thoughtful in her heart.
Han Meiren called Shen Che away in the middle of the night, which should be regarded as a temporary idea, and Lu Yingquan didn't have time to prepare at all. What's more, she hadn't been out of Linglong Pavilion all night, so it was impossible to put aphrodisiac incense in the Han Beauty Palace, and naturally it was impossible to arrange for others to do it in advance. In other words, Lu Yingquan has neither time nor opportunity to do so.
However, the person has already gone to invite, and the matter still needs to be investigated, so as not to have too many demons in this harem and make the whole palace miserable.
After a while, Lu Yingquan came over accompanied by Yun Yao, and on the way, she had already asked the little eunuch who had passed the word about what had happened, so when she came, she was also mentally prepared, and even thought of a rhetoric.
And the other concubines in the harem also got the news one after another, seeing that they started to make trouble early in the morning, and it was about Lu Yingquan and Han Meiren, they couldn't help but send their henchmen to inquire about the situation.
"The concubines ask the Queen Mother for peace and for Her Royal Highness. When Lu Yingquan came in, he saluted first.
This is what Yun Yao reminded her last night, the favorite concubine must have the bearing of a favorite concubine, even if she is wronged, she must maintain a normal heart, this kind of indifferent bearing will naturally make people feel that she is suspicious of the wrong person.
"I guess you've already heard about it, do you have anything to say in the face of Han Meiren's accusation?" the Queen Mother asked coldly, not at all gentle when facing Han Meiren.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubines don't have the time and opportunity to do so. The concubine didn't go out in the Linglong Pavilion last night, and the concubine didn't know in advance that Han Meiren would call His Royal Highness away last night, so it was impossible to arrange all this in advance. So, it must have been a misunderstanding of Han Mei. ”
Lu Yingquan replied in an orderly manner, she didn't say that Han Meiren deliberately wronged her, only that Han Meiren misunderstood, such an attitude of not stirring up trouble, but it made the Queen Mother feel a little good.
Han Meiren couldn't say anything anymore, she was hot-headed before, so she subconsciously felt that Lu Yingquan did this, but now after hearing these words, she knew that she might be wrong to blame Lu Yingquan. What's more, Lu Yingquan didn't hold on to her handle, which made her feel a little surprised.
"Then this aphrodisiac must have a source. It's not Han Meiren, it's not Lu Meiren, could it be that His Royal Highness did it himself?" the Queen Mother Yun said lightly, but there was a hint of sternness in her tone, which made the hearts of the people present feel terrified.
At the same time, He Meiren's Green Wuyuan also heard the news, Xiaomei inquired about the situation early in the morning, and came back to say: "Now Lu Meiren is also kneeling in front of the Queen Mother, waiting for the Queen Mother to find out the truth." Aphrodisiac incense is clearly forbidden in the Yiwang Palace, and His Royal Highness has said it a long time ago, so today's matter can be regarded as a serious trouble. ”
"Lu Meiren can't be fine, we still have to rely on her to inquire about information. He Meiren pondered for a moment and said, "You go and ask Luo'er to confess her guilt, and if someone admits it, Lu Meiren will be out of danger." ”
"Yes, slave and maid understand. Xiaomei nodded, turned around and walked out of the Green Garden, and found Luo'er, who was hiding in the room and was shivering in fear.
When Luo'er saw Xiaomei, she was even more scared, but she didn't know what Xiaomei was doing again. If the Queen Mother finds out about her, then she will definitely die.
"Little ...... Sister Xiaomei......" Luo'er said tremblingly, "What should I do now?"
"I'll talk to you about a condition, if you go to the Queen Mother now to confess your guilt, after you die, I will take out five hundred taels of silver to your mother and marry your brother. If you don't agree, don't say you don't have a silver ticket, I'll kill you now, and then let everyone think that you are committing suicide in fear of sin. Xiaomei said these words very indifferently, as if threatening people had become a habit.
