Concubine Meng Hui was shocked and angry, her hand holding her stomach trembled, and her voice became sharp.

"Ridiculous! What nonsense are you talking about! ”

The weak body knelt down in front of Shen Xiao, and said in a trembling voice: "There is no word for the sin you want to add!" Emperor! How capable the concubine is to arrange her own people in the queen's palace! ”

He moved his knees and took two steps forward, and said heartbreakingly: "Xing'er is a person from Fengyi Palace, and the words of the concubine are not credible!" ”

Shen Xiao frowned slightly, and said lightly: "You mean, the poison was given by the maid in your palace, and you don't know it." ”

Concubine Meng Hui's tears swirled in Ying Yingmei's eyes.

"The concubine's maidservant will not be poisoned! The emperor is clear! ”

If she admits that the poison is from the maid in her palace, won't she acquiesce to this basin of dirty water splashed on herself?

Up and down the palace, who would think that the maidservant girl poisoned herself without instructions, and she, the lord of Yong'an Palace, knew nothing?

Mama Zhou said word by word: "Could it be that the queen mother caused herself to be so unconscious?!" ”

"How is it impossible?!" Concubine Meng Hui's eyes were cracked, and she blurted out, "There was a Wu family in the previous dynasty who murdered the queen of the current dynasty with the life of his own daughter, and he was able to replace him!" ”

"Presumptuous."

Shen Xiao's eyes were like a sword, he glanced at her, and said in a cold tone: "The queen is already the mother of the country, why do you come to harm a concubine?" Replace you as a concubine? ”

Concubine Meng Hui's eyes widened and she looked at him in a daze.

The emperor used to have a weak temperament, but he was also gentle, and he had never spoken so harshly to people.

I wouldn't humiliate her like this.

Since Liu Qingshu accompanied the king, in just a few months, the emperor would treat her like this.

Concubine Meng Hui had sadness in her eyes and said aggrievedly: "Does the emperor also think that the concubine did it?" ”

"Concubine Liu's wisdom and blue eyes, elegant and thoughtful, I regard it as a confidant, and I have neglected you recently," Shen Xiao paused and said in a cool voice, "But you shouldn't have such thoughts and try to do this to Concubine Liu?" ”

Concubine Meng Hui's heart was uncontrollable.

"I, Meng Zhen, am narrow-minded, I have hated the Liu family, but I may kill her in front of people when the Liu family's position is low, but I can't do anything to assassinate her!"

She was so aggrieved and angry that she lost her sense of proportion and forgot to call herself a concubine.

"Why doesn't the emperor want to, why can't the concubine be hated by others because she is pregnant with the emperor's heir? Besides, the stew pot was sent to Weiyang Palace, how could Concubine Liu be okay?! ”

As soon as the crying fell, a eunuch walked into the palace to speak.

"Concubine Liu's poisoning is relatively mild, and she has woken up after vomiting, and she is asking to see her outside the palace."

"Let her in."

Concubine Meng Hui was shocked, and only then did she know that it was not only the queen who was poisoned, but also Concubine Liu.

Liu Qingshu's face was bloodless, her lips were slightly pale, and she walked with a step, like a weak willow trembling lightly, delicate and unbearable.

Walking in front of him and bowing slightly, Shen Xiao stretched out his hand to help her: "You don't have to kneel, sit down." ”

The palace people brought the lamp to hang the chair, Liu Qingshu sat down, and her eyes slowly fell on Concubine Meng Hui, who was kneeling on the ground with Liujia, and she couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui should take care of herself when she is pregnant with the imperial heir, the ground is cold after all." ”

Only then did Shen Xiao allow Concubine Meng Hui to get up.

Concubine Meng Hui became more and more ashamed and angry. It was because of Concubine Liu's words that the queen allowed her to get up, how should she deal with herself in the future?

She simply knelt down and said: "If the emperor doesn't return the innocence of the concubine, the concubine will not be able to kneel for a long time!" ”

Shen Xiao let her go and ignored her.

Liu Qingshu Si Pa covered her mouth, coughed lightly, and said: "If Concubine Hui is alone, it is just a matter of kneeling, but Concubine Hui is responsible for giving birth to the emperor's heir, if the dragon species has three long and two short, can Concubine Hui afford it?" ”

and she who said a few words added another sin to her.

Concubine Meng Hui gritted her teeth and got up with tears in her eyes.

"The concubine only cares about her own grievances, and forgets the emperor's heir for a while, is it a concubine," she asked Liu Qingshu instead, "The queen was poisoned with you, why are your symptoms much lighter?" ”

Liu Qingshu asked rhetorically: "The concubine and the queen mother eat a cup of shredded chicken and white fungus, how dare they eat in front of the queen mother?" ”

Therefore, it is reasonable that she eats less and the queen eats more.

Concubine Meng Hui took a step closer to her and asked, "The stew pot has been in your Weiyang Palace for two days, and it just happened today, how can you prove that it has nothing to do with you?" ”

Liu Qingshu was slightly stunned, and a weak face turned to face the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know that the stew pot is poisonous, today the queen came to sit at the concubine's place, there are not many expensive food in Weiyang Palace to entertain the queen, and the concubine remembered the stew cup sent by Concubine Hui. It is rare that Concubine Hui sent someone to send it must be a good thing, but I don't know that it will make a big mistake. ”

Shen Xiao said softly: "You are unintentional, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Although the words are soft, they are sound.

Concubine Meng Hui's body trembled violently, and the endless pain in her heart surged up.

It is clear that there is also an indescribable suspicion, but the emperor easily believed Concubine Liu, just for partiality.

She looked at Liu Qingshu's face that was still sick, delicate and powerless was the most pitiful, like the peach blossom with dewy eyebrows, there was a seven-point resemblance to that person.

Is the emperor favoring Concubine Liu, or that person?

Concubine Meng Hui smiled sadly and said, "Your Majesty, this stew cup was selected by the concubine's maidservant, so you might as well pass on this maid to ask." ”

"It's just to obey the master's instructions to give a gift, and now I have to come to fight the crime, how innocent is the maidservant?" Liu Qingshu sighed.

Concubine Meng Hui glared at her: "What are you yin and yang, if my maidservant of Yong'an Palace is convicted, will it be a good thing for me?" Who inside and outside the palace can't say that I, Meng Zhen, am the mastermind? ”

After speaking, without waiting for the emperor to answer, Concubine Meng Hui walked outside the hall, faced the kneeling crowd outside, and ordered: "Xin Wei, you come here." ”

Xin Wei walked to the front of the person in response, entered the hall, and knelt in front of the emperor step by step.

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Hui said is true. On that day, Concubine Hui ordered her maid to give gifts, and the maid chose a stew pot by herself. ”

She lowered her eyes and spoke calmly, and there was silence in the hall.

After a while, Shen Xiao opened his mouth to ask, his voice slightly hoarse: "You gave the stew cup?" ”

"Back to the emperor, yes." Xin Wei recognized it.

Liu Qingshu looked at Xin Wei's eyes full of sourness, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and said with pity: "If you have any difficulties, you can say it, poisoning the queen is a capital crime, and you bear the ......."

"Concubine Liu, the stew cup was given by the slave, but the slave was not poisoned." Xin Wei said.

Shen Xiao seemed to have an uncomfortable throat, coughed softly, the eunuch gave him a smooth back, he waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, but he coughed more and more, coughing his eyes scarlet.

The palace maid handed him tea, but he didn't take it.

Shen Xiao raised his head again, his eyes moved away from Xin Wei silently, his face was a little confused, and he asked the imperial doctor: "The stew pot has been poisoned?" ”

Imperial Physician Li knows how to read words and feelings, and this is an ironclad fact, the emperor asked him a second time, just to want other answers.

"Back to the emperor, the inner wall of the stew pot is poisonous, but the chicken shredded fungus in the stew pot is also poisonous, and the poison is from the stew cup or the fungus after all, the minister has no way of knowing."

Shen Xiao looked at Liu Qingshu.

"How many people are handling this chicken silk fungus?"
