Fortunately, the emperor had his own judgment.

He frowned: "I remember that the forbidden army enshrined the glass Buddha on a slightly higher shrine, bathed in incense. ”

"Miss Qi's height doesn't seem to knock down the Glass Buddha, unless she stands on tiptoe and deliberately throws the Glass Buddha on the ground, but she has no reason to do so."

Concubine Qi's eyes were gloomy, and she looked at Qi Xiuwei: "Wei'er, you really didn't break the glass Buddha, did you?" ”

Before Qi Xiuwei nodded.

Everyone only heard Concubine Qi say to the emperor: "It seems that there is really a naughty eagle, what Wei'er said should be true, it was the eagle that flew into the Zhaori Tower, accidentally broke the glass Buddha, and then heard the movement of someone entering, so it flew away again." ”

The Emperor muttered, "If you say that, it's possible. ”

Concubine Qi glanced at Qi Xiuwei quietly.

"The emperor only needs to find out the people who raise eagles in the palace, strictly investigate and hold them accountable, and then he can give the people an explanation."

Qi Xiuwei's face turned pale.

Pei Yin!

If she doesn't admit her guilt, Pei Yin will become the one who bears the guilt.

The emperor had already asked the people around him, "Do you know where eagles are kept in the palace?" ”

Shen Ningning was about to help explain, but unexpectedly, Qi Xiuwei over there also knelt down suddenly.

"Your Majesty," she was pale, her lips were bloodless, but her eyes were dark and gloomy: "The courtier lied, I'm sorry." ”

Everyone was surprised, and even the emperor turned around in surprise and looked at her again.

"You lied? Could it really be that you broke it? ”

Qi Xiuwei's eyes were already red: "Yes...... Because, the courtiers have always been very curious about the appearance of the glass Buddha, so they want to take advantage of the fact that there is no one around, go in and take a look. ”

"I didn't expect that when I took it down, I broke it by mistake, and when the emperor questioned it, the reason why the courtiers denied it was because the courtiers were afraid of being punished."

Shen Ningning knew at a glance that she was defending Pei Yin.

So he said anxiously: "Xiaowei! You've seen the Glass Buddha, don't you ......"

Before she finished speaking, Qi Xiuwei lowered her head and interrupted: "This matter is the responsibility of the courtier, please punish the emperor." ”

Qi Xiuwei kowtowed deeply.

Shen Ningning froze in place.

She is here to apologize for Pei Yin's guilt.

But is it worth it? Does she know that Pei has been communicating with a girl for a long time.

The two may have fallen in love with each other.

When Mo Lingwei saw Shen Ningning's expression, he knew that this matter was not so simple.

He took the initiative to persuade the emperor: "Father, I see that this matter is suspicious, it is better to send Miss Qi home first, and then investigate and interrogate when she is free tomorrow." ”

"The top priority is that the common people will enter the palace immediately, and the glass Buddha is destroyed, and the father needs to take another item as compensation."

The emperor frowned, feeling deeply: "What you said is right, but it has long been declared to the Glass Buddha to the outside world, and now it is temporarily changed, will it be unacceptable?" ”

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips, with an indifferent smile on his lips.

"I want the glass Buddha because the world is eager to be blessed by the blessed woman, and we can leave that person down and have dinner with us for dinner in the evening."

"My father found out the precious treasure and gave it to him, and then confessed to the truth that the glazed Buddha had been broken, but it was unlucky, so he gave him a reward."

Shen Ningning nodded: "Brother, this method is excellent." ”

They both agreed, and the emperor had no opinion.

So he waved his hand: "Come on, send Miss Qi home." ”

Qi Xiuwei cried and was taken away.

Looking at her weak figure, walking farther and farther in the moonlight.

Shen Ningning couldn't help but be a little worried.

How would an old lady Qi punish a mean person like her after knowing that she might have made a mistake?

The moment the little girl withdrew her gaze, she saw a sneer in the eyes of Concubine Qi behind the emperor.

Shen Ningning's heart suddenly sank.

Concubine Qi did it? Didn't Qi Xiuwei say that she had already forgiven the Qi family?

The little girl secretly gritted her teeth.

She knew that with Concubine Qi's character of retribution, it was impossible to let go of the person who offended her so easily.

After a while, the guards led the lantern winner into the palace.

When everyone saw each other, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Aunt Princess!" Or did Shen Ningning react first, and her white and tender little face was filled with a happy smile: "It's actually the lantern you tied?" ”

The princess smiled gently, and the two maids behind her, holding the lantern of the lotus moon in both hands, were very ingeniously made.

The inside is a layer of dim yellow cage cloth, painted with lotus flowers in full bloom, and a circle of movable log shelves on the outside is coated with a layer of silver powder.

Stretch out your hand and gently pluck it, and you can see the lotus flowers blooming.

It's simply top notch.

No wonder it was selected as the first by the government.

And this competition is extremely fair, before everyone won the award, everyone didn't know that this was the work of Princess Shu.

Princess Shu smiled at Shen Ningning and said warmly: "It's mine." ”

Mo Lingwei laughed: "I remember, my aunt's lantern skills have always been ingenious, and she met my uncle at a lantern festival. ”

The emperor laughed: "I also remember that time the eldest brother almost fought with the Great People's Congress for the sake of your sister-in-law, your lamp king. ”

When it comes to that year, Princess Shu's eyes flashed with coquettishness, and her cheeks were pink.

Shen Ningning noticed that Concubine Qi's face had become worse, and the hands under her sleeves were clenched tightly to restrain her emotions.

It seems that before the King of Shu met the Princess of Shu, he already knew Concubine Qi?

Since it was his own person, the emperor told the princess of Shu the reason why the glass Buddha was broken.

When Princess Shu heard this, she said very kindly: "If the eagle destroys, then it's no wonder Miss Qi, I participated in the competition this time, it's nothing more than playing, the emperor must not blame her." ”

After speaking, Princess Shu lovingly hugged Shen Ningning in her arms.

"As long as you have a few meals with us Ning Ning, this reward will be enough."

Everyone laughed and went to the main hall where they were eating.

Concubine Qi arched her hand: "I just drank wine, and I can't drink anymore, Your Majesty, please allow the concubines to go back to rest." ”

The emperor didn't think much about it, there were many people accompanying him tonight, and it didn't matter if Concubine Qi was not there.

He waved his hand: "You go back and rest." ”

Concubine Qi thanked her, and then turned to leave with Huanting.

Looking at her back, Shen Ningning quietly withdrew his gaze.

She smiled cutely, and asked Princess Shu shallowly.

"Aunt Princess, why didn't you see Uncle Wang enter the palace with you?"

Princess Shu raised her head and glanced at Mo Lingwei on the side.

She whispered to Shen Ningning: "He went to see a famous Lang Zhong in the rivers and lakes, and I heard that the other party has a secret recipe for asking for a child, but that person has a strange temper, and he finally waited for him to march to the capital, so the prince hurried to visit, so he couldn't come." ”

Speaking of this, there was inevitably a touch of shyness on her face.

"The prince treats me considerately, he knows that I have always wanted to have a child of my own, no matter what others say, he has been indulging me, Ning Ning, you are really a blessed little guy, I will hug you more, maybe I can have a child as cute as you."

Shen Ningning sighed in his heart when he heard this, and he was helpless.

She quietly called out to Mo Lingwei, said something to Princess Shu, and the two walked in opposite directions.

Mo Lingwei asked, "Are you going to check the traces in the Sun Tower now?" ”

"Concubine Qi left suddenly, I suspect that she may be trying to deal with the aftermath, but I'm afraid that we will investigate thoroughly tomorrow after we finish eating, and the clues left by that bad guy are gone." Shen Ningning said, and Mo Lingwei quickened his pace and rushed back to Zhaori Tower. (End of chapter)
