The night breeze is always extraordinarily presumptuous in the deep palace.

The lantern in Ji's father-in-law's hand was swaying by the wind, and he didn't have time to reach out to help, so he trotted behind the emperor and hurried to Cining Palace.

When I arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, I met the group in front of me.

The queen came in a sedan chair, and when the emperor arrived, he happened to see the queen getting down from the sedan chair.

"Concubine see Your Majesty—" This afternoon, the queen's eyelids began to jump suddenly, and she always felt that it was an ominous omen.

Just after dinner, I just heard that the emperor turned over Concubine Li's jade card again today, and I was losing my temper, so I received a summons from the Queen Mother.

I didn't expect to meet the emperor at the door.

The queen stepped forward with a smile, and suddenly her disgust with the queen mother was not so deep.

The emperor had a cold face, "Let's go in first." ”

After eating a closed door, the queen held her breath, and dared to walk into Cining Palace with the emperor in anger.

The Queen Mother was dressed in plain clothes, with a wipe on her forehead, and her old face was three points sick and seven points majestic.

She was sitting on the main seat, holding a teacup in her hand, her eyes slightly downcast, looking at the kneeling spring fragrance in the center of the hall.

Everyone didn't dare to move, and the picture in the hall seemed to be still.

As the emperor approached, the still picture suddenly moved.

The Queen Mother put down the teacup with a sneer, looked over the emperor, and approached the queen behind him.

"How unaccustomed is the Shen family, and how dare they do it to the mourning family?"

Her words were like a sunny day split, accurately slashing into the hearts of the emperor and empress.

Emperor Long Yan was furious, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he immediately turned to the queen and glared angrily.

"It's the Queen?"

"There are no concubines!" The queen's face changed suddenly, and she shook her head in horror, "It's because the queen mother has always been unaccustomed to her concubines, how dare the concubines be disrespectful to the queen mother?" ”

"Dare to quibble!?" The Queen Mother slapped the handrail fiercely, pointed to the trembling Chunxiang and said, "Listen to what the dog you raised next to the mourning family said?" ”

The emperor glanced at Chunxiang and didn't recognize which palace maid she was at all, but he was convinced of the Queen Mother's words, and regardless of the demeanor of the Son of Heaven, he raised his hand and pinched the queen's cheek, "Shen, on weekdays, you play some tricks in the harem, I turn a blind eye, but you dare to make a move on the queen mother?" Do you really think I don't dare to touch the Shen family? Don't dare to scrap the queen? ”

"Concubine, no!" The queen squeezed out a few words from between her teeth and excused herself: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the slander of traitors!" ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "The emperor let go of the queen first, since the Shen family is looking for death, the mourning family will tell her to die clearly!" ”

The emperor looked at the queen in a deep and gloomy manner, and he wanted to break the queen's body into pieces immediately.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, the emperor tightened the strength of his hand and said to the queen viciously: "I want to see how seamless you are." ”

With that, he let go of his fingers.

The Empress was freed, and several fingerprints on her cheeks were clearly visible.

She bent over and patted her chest and coughed a few times, in the blind spot of everyone's sight, a vicious look suddenly appeared, and then she got up with an aggrieved look, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know what she has done, she will be so misunderstood by the Queen Mother!" ”

"You, say!" The Queen Mother was angry, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her body, and pointed at Chunxiang's nose and shouted.

Haruka's body trembled, and she felt that her neck was cold, as if there was an invisible cold knife on her neck.

"The Queen Mother is aware that the slave maid has entered the Cining Palace since she was a child, and she has always adhered to her duty, and she has never had half of the disrespect for the Queen Mother-"

"Getting to the point!" The emperor was impatient and raised his eyebrows and scolded Haruka.

Haruka was shocked into a cold sweat, and turned her direction to face the emperor and kowtowed desperately.

"Your Majesty spares your life, late one night in the beginning of winter last year, the slave maid obviously fell asleep in Cining Palace, and woke up the next day from the couch of the eunuch Xiao Liuzi! was also hit by the palace maid of Changchun Palace! ”

Recalling that shocking past, Haruka seemed to be nailed to the pillar of shame, tears flowing.

"When he saw that he was going to blackmail the slave and the maid, he said that if the slave and the maid did not do what she commanded, she would publicize the slave and the slave. Slave, slave, slave—" Haruka cried until she couldn't cry, and her words were intermittent, making it difficult to hear.

The emperor raised his foot and kicked her shoulder, and said angrily: "Don't cry, make it clear!" Otherwise, I will send you to the Internal Affairs Mansion tonight to wait for the eunuchs in the entire palace!" ”

It is not a secret that eunuchs and palace maids eat against each other in the Qianguo Palace.

The emperor didn't bother to listen to the process at all, he just wanted to hear the result.

"Yes, every time the slave and maid go to the Internal Affairs Office to get the incense of tranquility, she will meet Jianxi, and she will give the slave and maid a handkerchief, and let the slave and maid wipe the queen mother's incense burner with a handkerchief——"

Chunxiang still can't believe that the Queen Mother's serious illness was caused by that square veil.

The belated fear spread to her heart, and Haruka knelt down and crawled towards the Queen Mother, grabbing the Queen Mother's calves with both hands, tears on her face.

"Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave didn't know what the handkerchief was, and the slave and maid also checked the handkerchief at that time, but the slave didn't react at all——"

"You're only in contact for a short time, and of course you don't react. The veil is soaked in oleander water and then dried, and only through the edification of heat will it be volatile and toxic! ”

Murong Xi, who had been listening silently, suddenly got up, took out the handkerchief, and held it in front of her to check it.

"In fact, the dose on the veil is enough to kill a normal person. But the most popular method is to wipe the incense burner with a handkerchief, and the poison powder that remains on the incense burner is very small. It may even be sometimes toxic and sometimes non-toxic. This is also the reason why the Queen Mother has only shown symptoms so far. ”

Murong Xi walked towards the queen with a handkerchief, and her cool gaze made the queen's fingertips tremble.

"Hugh has to talk nonsense, just based on the words of the palace maid, you can determine that it was the palace maid of Changchun Palace who harmed the queen mother?"

"Humph!" The Queen Mother asked coldly: "Not only Chunxiang is a human witness, but Ji'er went to Tai Hospital today, and on the way back, I also saw the palace maid of Changchun Palace approaching Chunxiang!" ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes, exuding anger all over his body, and pounced on the queen like a flood beast.

"Shen, how else do you quibble? Say! Why do you want to mutilate the queen mother!? ”

"Hello?" The queen's pupils dilated, and she looked at Murong Xi blankly, "Even you-"

Murong Xi really admires the women in the palace, and it's a pity that they don't go to act one by one.

She shook her head, "Ji'er is just telling the Queen Mother what she has seen with her own eyes." ”

There are all human and material evidence, and the suspicion of Changchun Palace is completely unclear.

Everyone's eyes fell on the queen, some were inquisitive, some were vicious, some were murderous, and some fell into the well-

The Queen's lips trembled, and the exponential pressure restrained her words, and she was trying to find the words to excuse herself when she heard an exclamation behind her.

"The queen spared her life, it was the slave and the maid who made their own decisions, and everything was the slave's fault!"

Qing He knelt on the ground with a "plop", and his eager voice ran through the entire Cining Palace.

"It was done by the slave maid, on the night of the New Year, the slave maid suffered a lot of trouble from Mama Yu, and the queen mother was also present at the time, not only did she relieve the siege for the slave maid, but also mocked the slave maid 'the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked', the slave maid has always held a grudge, so she brought back some oleander powder from outside the palace!"

Murong Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Qing He meaningfully.
