The Son of Heaven returned to Luan, and the Zichen Palace, which had been quiet for half a month, was lively again, no matter whether He Yan was in charge of national affairs or not, the officials in the political hall still had to behave, especially Xie and Wei, who had shouldered the heavy responsibility of supervising the country for half a month, and they had to report to the Zichen Hall as soon as possible.

In the Zilan Palace, Liu Guifei had just told the palace people with an impatient face that she heard that the saint had returned to the palace and couldn't wait to come to flatter and curry favor with her, in order to win the opportunity to accompany her, and she was not worried that her behavior was too domineering.

At this time, it is close to the summer solstice, after the sun, there is already a sense of inflammation on the sun-dried green tile, the concubine is lazy and lazy, the fine black silk is only a white jade cloud hairpin ornament, a light gauze collar moon white shirt, so that the chest is white and exposed, the two jade arms are hidden, and the posture of leaning on the couch is not lazy, and the fan in the hand is not slowly shaking, it seems to close her eyes and recuperate, and she seems to be concentrating on listening to the piano and silk bamboo coming from the pavilion across the water.

There are not many palace people serving in this place, two stand outside the door, one kneeling on the edge of the tea table, probably very well understand the master's consistent temperament, even if it is a confidant, he has never persuaded the concubine to persuade the rest of the concubines to entertain the rest of the concubines, and the behavior of letting people eat behind closed doors seems to be too arrogant.

Their masters have always been so frank and arrogant, and they will not be vain at all.

But when they heard that the saint was coming here, of course the palace people didn't dare to slack off, so they disturbed the concubine's enjoyment of this quiet and comfortable again.

"What time is it?" The concubine asked as she walked to the bedroom, frowning only when she heard the report "before the time of the application" - the saint had only returned to the palace for more than an hour, how could he get out? Presumably ...... I didn't really ask about the national politics for half a month.

The concubine shook her head gently, of course, for the past three years, the Son of Heaven has been like this, how could she hope that he would change his past when he returned from a trip to Fuping.

Seeing that the concubine was going to change her clothes and makeup, finally a palace person couldn't help but remind: "The saint is only afraid that he has arrived in front of the palace, so the concubine might as well only add a few hair accessories." ”

However, what the concubine thinks is that whether the hair accessories are added or not is actually secondary, and she can't wear this body to see the car, and it is too unseemly to show her chest and arms.

In fact, in the past few years, although the concubine "favored the harem", the Son of Heaven did not come to the Zilan Palace once, and the concubines went to the Zichen Palace to see them, and the palace people did not know the "mode of getting along" between the concubine and the Son of Heaven, which is also common sense, but I am afraid that under the whole world, no one would think that the concubine is still a virgin.

"It's okay, just ask the palace maid to serve the saint and sit down for a while and drink tea to cool off." The concubine was careless.

The palace people were stunned - they actually let the Son of Heaven wait, the master was really ...... The slight cold treatment that those two Baolin ate behind closed doors is really not worth mentioning.

Slightly apply fat powder, lightly draw willow eyebrows, insert a peach blossom comb in the hair, add a phoenix tail step shake, and change the clothes into a serious collar skirt, the spring light is tightly covered, and even covered with a hidden flower big sleeve shirt, dignified and decent but light and elegant.

This time, it also took more than two moments.

But when the concubine reappeared, the Son of Heaven He Yan was not a little anxious and dissatisfied, and sat in the palace of the concubine in the cool earlier, and did not let the palace people wait, but cooked the tea by himself, but after a closer look, his eyebrows were not relaxed, and he seemed to be worried about something.

"Why is the saint here at this time?" The concubine asked, and was about to lead to national politics, but the Son of Heaven couldn't wait to open his mouth.

"How are the good things being observed? Who is colluding with this? ”

It turned out that the Son of Heaven had not forgotten about this matter.

In this way, things will finally turn around, and it will not end before it has even begun.

The concubine smiled slightly: "Originally, the accomplice had been asked from Ji Shan's mouth, and the concubine was about to take a closer look, but the saint went to Fuping for the queen mother's mausoleum, and the queen mother transferred Ji Shan away for personal interrogation, and told the concubine to recuperate in the Zilan Hall with peace of mind, and Mo was too worried about palace affairs...... The concubine didn't dare to disobey the order, but she didn't dare to ignore it completely when she thought that it was the saint who gave her account first, so she was only secretly concerned...... But Ji Shan couldn't stand the torture that night, and heard that he committed suicide by touching the wall. ”

The Son of Heaven completely ignored the Empress Dowager's intervention, and only asked, "Who is the conspirator?" ”

"Jide." The concubine did not hesitate to spit out these two words.

The Son of Heaven frowned, as if he felt that the name was somewhat familiar.

"The people of the Zichen Palace, to be precise, are the palace people around King Jin."

"No, no," the Son of Heaven shook his head again and again: "It is impossible for this matter to have anything to do with Brother Ye, although Brother Ye is messing around, he also knows the severity of right and wrong." ”

The concubine couldn't help blurting out the word "stupid", breathed two times, and had to pick up the buttermilk to calm down.

"Sister has Ji De been detained?" He Yan asked again.

The concubine drank a full cup of buttermilk, and felt that her throat was finally not on fire, so she sneered twice: "The saint is not in the palace, and the concubine does not dare to act rashly, otherwise I am afraid that the saint will return today, and the concubine will already be incurable." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The concubine raised her eyelids slightly: "The saint really insists on strictly investigating this case again?" ”

"Of course, Ji Shan is dead, and I won't let any of the conspirators go!" This is finally a bit categorical.

"The concubine heard from Ji Shan's mouth that Ji De is not greedy for money, but she secretly helped Ji Shan steal and sell the things of Penglai Palace, because Ji Shan had the handle in his hands, and threatened Ji De to take risks."

"What's the handle?" He Yan asked again.

The concubine didn't rush to answer this time, her eyes were complicated and dark and looked directly at the Son of Heaven, and she didn't speak for a while.

"What are the scruples of Sister?"

"Yes, because this matter is too terrifying to hear, and now not only Ji Shan is dead, but even the eunuchs who stole and sold the queen's relics were all killed by the queen mother's staff, only Yu Jide's living mouth, however, is already dead without proof, if Ji De denies it, will the concubine have to bear the crime of slander? The case of Ji Shan has been decided, if the saint is not determined, it is better to give up. The concubine glanced at the tea tripod: "Sage, the soup has been boiled three times and has not been put into the tea, I am afraid that this water will not be usable." ”

He Yan still had the heart to take care of the tea, he clenched his fingers: "Sister might as well say it directly, I will never be able to protect you." ”

Seeing that the concubine was still silent, He Yan was even more anxious: "Sister can't believe me?" ”

The fist was already on the tea table, and the Son of Heaven leaned forward, with a slight sweat on his forehead, and he seemed to be very eager and nervous.

"It's not that the concubine can't trust the saint, but this matter is ......" The concubine stretched her tone, until she saw that the green tendons on the forehead of the Son of Heaven were highlighted, and she finally stopped playing tricks: "Ji Shan, the person who poisoned the queen back then was Ji De!" ”

"Bang dang", the long case of red sandalwood was lifted by the Son of Heaven, and suddenly, the cup fell and fell all over the ground.

The Son of Heaven half-knelt up, put his hands on the shoulders of the concubine, and the strength was so great as if he wanted to crush the concubine's shoulder blades: "What did Sister just say?" ”

"The queen was poisoned by Ji De, however, who was behind Ji De who instructed Ji Shan did not explain."

It was quiet for a while, and it seemed that even the boiling and warm sound in the tea tripod seemed harsh at this time.

There was a breeze outside the pavilion, and the sound of the leaves was messy and noisy like a huge wave.

The concubine did not avoid it, so she looked at the Son of Heaven like this.

After a full moment, she felt a loosening of her shoulders, and saw that the Son of Heaven was depressed, holding her forehead: "No, how could it be, how could it be, it is clearly the Ye family, the mother has already judged clearly, and all the murderers of the queen have been executed, how can it be, how can it be related to Brother Ye?" ”

The concubine was almost so angry that she wanted to lift the tea case that had been dumped beside her again, no, she even wanted to kick the tea stove over!

"Sage, wasn't Ji De a member of Ye Zhaoyuan's palace before? Even different from Ji Shan, she was only a second-class palace maid back then, she was Ye Zhaoyuan's close palace maid, and she could handle food and daily life! Ji Shan was exempted from responsibility, with Ji De's position, why was he not held accountable or even punished in any way, but was transferred to serve by the side of King Jin? ”

After being reminded by the concubine, He Yan thought of something at this time...... The concubine followed closely and said: "The concubine has secretly investigated again, it turns out that this Jide is the one who exposed Ye Zhaoyuan in the first place, and Ye Zhaoyuan's collection of poison was also searched by her, saying that she once glimpsed another palace maid sneaking in the shade of flowers in the middle of the night and seemed to bury something, and she didn't pay attention to it at the time, until the queen was poisoned and died, she woke up to something strange...... The Queen Mother advocated that Ji De was meritorious, so there was no punishment. ”

The Son of Heaven lost his soul: "Yes, I also remember, it is this Jide...... However, she is not a confidant of the Ye family, and she has only been transferred for a short time when the crime occurred, so I also believe that it is impossible for the Ye family to leak the plan to her, and she is indeed innocent......"

"Ji Shan and Ji De not only have no enmity, but also make friends, how can Ji Shan defile her? And yes, if there is no secret help from Ji De, Ji Shan can't even enter and leave the Tent Lai Palace, how can he have the ability to collude with the eunuchs? Assuming that the queen was really harmed by Ye Zhaoyuan, how could Ye Zhaoyuan add the poison to the medicinal diet with her own hands? She obviously knew that it would be difficult to escape the evidence of the crime, but if Ye Zhaoyuan really had the heart to break the net, why bother to make the palace people bury the evidence of the crime? The case of the queen's poisoning is not without strangeness, so the concubine thinks that Ye Zhaoyuan is most likely framed, and the real murderer cannot be so obvious, Ji De is more suspicious. ”

Ji De has no grudge against the queen, if there is no one behind the scenes, it is impossible to poison the queen, there is no motive, and there is no such guts!

And this poisoning case of Empress Pei, which is full of mistakes and omissions, is the Queen Mother presiding over the trial, and it is also the Queen Mother who strives to protect Jide's innocence.

It is already clear who the real culprit is.

He Yan's face was so pale that there was no blood, and he couldn't believe it until this time: "No, I don't believe ......"

"Yes, the concubine can't believe it." The concubine smiled lightly: "Why did the Queen Mother have to be cruel to the queen? At that time, the queen was already pregnant with a dragon son in her womb...... Unless...... It is not a fact that Pei Zheng is plotting rebellion, the queen is still in the world, and those who frame Pei Zheng cannot feel at ease. ”

The Son of Heaven was already sitting on the ground completely, looking at the concubine's eyes in a daze.

The concubine gritted her silver teeth: "The saint also doubted it, but he didn't dare to face it squarely, and he couldn't believe that the more than 1,000 lives of the Pei and Zheng clans were innocent...... Sage, do you want to pursue it? If this is the end, even if the horizontal and vertical things come out, the queen will no longer be able to come back to life. ”

"No, no......" He Yan muttered to himself, shaking his head, but his face buried in the palm of his hand was already full of tears.

Cowardly, sure enough......

The concubine suddenly changed her words: "But the saint, maybe the queen mother doesn't know the truth, maybe the queen mother is also confused by Xie and Mao." ”

He Yancai raised his head suddenly.

"I'm ...... Interrogate Ji De in person! ”
