"Slave maid......" The little palace maid knelt on the ground, bowed her head and made excuses in a panic.

But the more things come to an end, the more useful words come to mind.

After a while, the little palace maid trembled and said, "The slave doesn't know this person." ”

"Since you don't know, you were the one who murdered the Queen Mother?"

"Slaves don't dare!"

The little palace maid was startled and immediately kowtowed, saying that she had never done such a thing.

Li Yan ignored it and gave the Duke Hai next to him a look, and the Duke immediately asked the little eunuch to come in with a tray.

On it was a plate of stale fruit, and the little eunuch carefully held it and stepped forward to the little palace maid.

But when she was about to meet the little palace maid, the little palace maid retreated in horror.

"Well, how could this be here!"

As soon as the little palace maid asked, she immediately reacted, and the thread in her mind suddenly broke.

Yes, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor has always been bad, how could the Emperor be the master of the Queen Mother, and how could he bring the food in the Queen Mother's palace here so easily?

But her reaction has betrayed herself.

The little palace maid kowtowed in horror and begged for mercy: "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave and maid are only resentful in their hearts, not instructed by others." ”

"Oh?" Li Yan looked at the little palace maid with interest.

The little palace maid hurriedly explained: "The slave's fellow villagers and friends also served in the queen mother's palace, but it was only because of a small mistake that the queen mother was beaten to death, and the slave and maid were resentful, so ......"

Speaking of this, the little palace maid raised her eyes and looked at the guards of the Jiu'an Palace, who still looked like Qinglian next to her, and lowered her head and said: "When Mama Liu was here, the slave maid had no chance, and when Mama Liu died, the slave maid bought Aunt Qinglian next to the Queen Mother and wanted to take advantage of Mo'er's mistake and be punished and transferred to the inner hall to serve the Queen Mother, wanting to find an opportunity to avenge her fellow villagers." ”

The little palace maid kowtowed and cried: "The slave's hometown is drought, and it was with her friends that she and her friends supported her all the way to the capital to have the opportunity to enter the palace, and she was so kind to the slave and maid that she was killed, but she was ordered to be killed by the Queen Mother, and the slave and maid must avenge her." Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed, and the slave and maid already know that they will die if they do this, but they will never affect innocent people who don't know, please ask the emperor to investigate. ”

Li Yan looked at Gonggong Hai on the side.

Gonggong Hai immediately stepped forward: "Back to the emperor, the slave has already found out, she does have a fellow villager who entered the palace, and she also served in the queen mother's palace before, but a year ago, she was ordered to be killed by the queen mother for breaking the queen mother's favorite white jade vase. ”

Li Yan looked at the little palace maid: "In this way, you are avenging your friend, and you are angry." ”

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

The little palace maid knelt on the ground, bowing her head and not daring to look at Li Yan's body, beating a drum in her heart, not knowing what the ending would be.

I thought that the emperor would not be very happy if something happened to the queen mother, and he would not embarrass her too much.

But now it seems that the emperor's reaction is not what he thought before.

If the emperor wants to push her out to bear the charge of killing the queen mother, she will only have one death.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

The little palace maid was short of breath, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

After a while, Li Yan said lightly: "Poisoning the Queen Mother is a capital crime, but I think that you are avenging your friend, I will spare your life for the time being, and you will still go back to the Queen Mother to take care of you." ”

The little palace maid looked up in disbelief.

Li Yan looked at him coldly: "You don't want to?" ”

The little palace maid immediately reacted: "The slave is willing!" Slave willing! ”

"Stand down."

The little palace maid was still trembling when she stood up, and she withdrew silently.

When he arrived outside the hall, he was weak, and he went out to pant for breath while holding on to the pillar under the corridor, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In the hall, Li Yan watched the little palace maid go out with deep eyes, and asked the others to retreat, and when only he and Fu Yao were left in the hall, Li Yan regained a little smile and looked at Fu Yao.

"Auntie, can you do something for me?"

Fu Jiao had been listening quietly by the side just now, still thinking about how credible what the little palace maid said, when he suddenly heard Li Yan's words, and turned his head to look at him in confusion.

"What's the matter?"

"You can't believe what this little palace maid said, I still suspect that she has something to do with Li Rong, you tell someone to keep an eye on her, don't let her pass on things that are not good to us."

Li Yan looked at her with gentle eyes, touched her cheek with his hand, and his tone was even more gentle, as if coaxing her to do it:

"Okay?"

"Okay."

Fu Miao nodded without thinking.

She was also suspecting that there was something wrong with what this little palace maid said, and if she was a bad person, she had to take precautions earlier.

When Li Yan saw Fu Yao's response, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, so he stared at Fu Yao quietly for a while before laughing softly.

Outside the hall, Ling Xuan was led in by Gonggong Hai, and just heard what Li Yan said, frowned slightly, and followed Gonggong Hai in as if he hadn't heard it.

Someone came in and immediately smiled and looked at Ling Xuan.

"What?"

"Your Majesty." Ling Xuan saluted before he said, "The minister remembered what he said before, and the queen mother will be announced tomorrow for something that has nothing to do with demons, and there are still some omissions. ”

"You say."

When Li Ling Xuan said this, he motioned for him to sit down next to him.

After Ling Xuan sat down, he talked to Li Xuan, and from beginning to end, his eyes did not pass over Fu Xuan.

Fu Yao looked at Ling Xuan curiously for a while, and then couldn't help but yawn quietly, but when he had to listen to Ling Xuan explain tomorrow's business, he had to cheer up.

But gradually, she lost her mind.

What kind of person is Ling Xuan?

used to be the chief envoy in Qin Tianjian, but he didn't have the impression of a deputy envoy, just like an invisible person.

But he suddenly showed such a great interest in this matter, not only went to Fu Qing'er's palace to investigate, but also put forward detailed proposals on how to deal with the Queen Mother's matter, these things were pressed down one by one, which could make the Queen Mother breathe.

With such a meticulous consideration, he must have thought about it seriously.

It's not like the previous style of indifferent life.

Is it also a different person?

Fu Xuan was shocked by his thoughts, and it happened that Ling Xuan had already finished speaking and was about to leave.

He glanced at her as if he had a feeling, and Fu Yao was afraid that his guess about him would be seen, so he quickly lowered his gaze.

Ling Xuan just saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the queen, the minister retires." ”

After Ling Xuan left, Li Yan looked at Fu Yao: "Miao thinks he is very good-looking?" ”

"Huh?"

Fu Yao looked at Li Xuan in confusion, and after reacting that he was talking about Ling Xuan, he shook his head: "No." ”

"And what did you keep staring at him just now?"

Li Yan didn't even notice it, and there was a slight sourness in his tone.
