Xin Wei swallowed the mountain chicken slowly, only smiling awkwardly.

Whether she had an affair last night or not, Shen Xiao couldn't be clearer, it depends on what Shen Xiao plans to do.

Liu Qingshu's eyes were full of surprise: "There is only one lotus pond in the palace, that is, after the queen's bedroom, what did Cao Zhaoyi do there in the middle of the night?" ”

"After all, the queen is the cousin of the concubine, and the concubine heard that the queen made a big mistake in the paddock, although the concubine somehow, she wanted to persuade one or two," Cao Zhaoyi replied calmly, and then her tone turned hateful, as if she was extremely disgusted, "I never thought that I had seen that scene of immorality!" ”

Liu Qingshu nodded at her coldly: "In the past, you didn't necessarily have any dealings with the queen. ”

The queen and Cao Zhaoyi have no sisterhood, and everyone sees it in their eyes, which is not a secret.

Cao Zhaoyi no longer explained it, but said emphatically: "No matter what the reason for the concubine to go there, what selfish intentions she has, Xin Jieyu's fornication with others is a fact!" ”

Xin Wei did not make an excuse, and turned her eyes to look at the emperor seat, and she did not hide her shame and embarrassment in her eyes.

Even though she knew the outcome of this matter, she was unwilling to be humiliated in public.

The corners of Shen Xiao's mouth furrowed, and he said lightly: "The lotus pond is wide, and it's night, how can you be sure that what you see is Xin Jieyu?" ”

Cao Zhaoyi said eloquently: "The concubines can't see clearly across the lotus pond, but the concubines think, this is the emperor's palace, how can there be men and women embracing each other, maybe it is the two maids who don't know whether they are alive or dead and have an affair with the slave!" ”

"The concubine followed the woman after the two separated, and then came to the woman's residence, and found that it was Xin Jieyu's house!"

"Even, the fornicating guard also followed, this time I can see clearly, it is Feng Zhi, the guard with a knife in front of the palace. Feng guards came to give Xin Jieyu a begonia flower! ”

After some naming and painting the name, everyone looked at each other and was stunned.

Chu Ying looked at Xin Wei beside her in horror, and the hand blocking the desk sneaked over and pulled her sleeve.

Is it true? She asked with a look in her eyes.

Xin Wei was speechless, didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Cao Zhaoyi kneeling in the hall, her eyes were complicated, full of emotions, helpless, pity, but without the slightest embarrassment and fear.

Liu Qingshu sat upright, and her voice was steady: "Cao Zhaoyi, it's about Xin Jieyu's innocence and life, but it's not something you can slander without evidence." ”

Cao Zhaoyi's eyes were fierce, and she raised three fingers: "If what the concubine says is not true, she is willing to be thundered by the sky, and she will not die well!" ”

She used every word extremely hard, lest she not be able to reveal her sincerity, and the resounding tail reverberated in the hall.

When everyone saw her swear like this, they didn't feel that their hearts were shocked.

Liu Qingshu was still about to speak, but Yu Zhaoyi whispered beside her: "Since she dares to expose it on any occasion, she must have a perfect plan, why don't you wait and see." ”

In such a situation, Liu Qingshu didn't know how to help, but she saw Xin Wei's expression calm as usual, without the slightest panic, Liu Qingshu was a little relieved and stopped talking for the time being.

Cao Zhaoyi slowly looked around, satisfied with everyone's shocked reactions, and then glanced at Xin Wei, and said solemnly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can search for it, that begonia is being inserted in the porcelain vase in Xin Jieyu's house!" ”

Shen Xiao's eyes were indifferent, and he didn't have any tone: "It's normal to insert a begonia in a woman's house, how can it be confirmed that it was given by her lover?" ”

Cao Zhaoyi said: "Since they are doing this, there must be other clues, and the emperor will know it as soon as he searches!" ”

The hall was silent, so quiet that you could hear the birdsong in the empty mountains in the distance, and the intermittent mournful sound.

Liu Qingshu got up from the banquet and walked out, Ying Ying bowed down in front of the palace, bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty, the bedroom is a woman's private place, if she is searched like this, how can Xin Jieyu's face remain?" How will you deal with yourself in the future? ”

Xin Wei knew that there was nothing wrong, but she was still grateful to Liu Qingshu for her resolute step forward to protect her.

This is the daughter of Jiangmen, righteous and thin, but the weak body has its own arrogance and loneliness, how could she have lost to Xunguan?

Cao Zhaoyi's eyes flowed: "Why did Concubine Liu say this, Xin Jieyu did such an unclear thing, could she not let the emperor be deceived by it?" ”

Liu Qingshu glanced at her and said sharply: "Today I also casually said that you were fornicating with someone, so can you also search your house!" ”

"Concubine Liu, just go and search! The concubine has a clear conscience! Cao Zhaoyi said loudly.

At this time, it was already at an impasse, Xin Wei walked out of the banquet, first bowed to the emperor three times, and then said to Liu Qingshu: "Thank you Concubine Liu, the concubine was slandered by this for her self-love, and she was willing to be searched to prove her innocence." If nothing can be found in the palace, the emperor of Huguangxie can also send a figure to search carefully. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to the emperor and said: "It's just that the concubine has been wronged by this, and it is inevitable that she will not be ashamed in her heart, if the concubine is innocent, please also ask the emperor to severely punish the slanderer!" ”

Liu Qingshu looked at her fixedly, and her heart was clear.

King Xuan, who had been watching the play silently, twisted his wine glass, spoke abruptly, and hesitated: "You are...... Xin Jieyu? ”

Xin Wei didn't dare to raise her head, and said respectfully: "Yes." ”

King Xuan withdrew his inquiring gaze and turned to the emperor and said, "No matter what the result is, whether it is undignified to make this scene, Zhaoyi is really a little reckless. ”

The matter of the harem should not have been intervened by King Xuan, but if he intervened, the emperor would not mind.

Cao Zhaoyi was said by King Xuan, and his face was red and black.

It is indeed reckless to make this matter in plain sight, but only in this way can Xin Jieyu never recover. And since Huxin Pavilion, she has never seen the emperor in private, so she can only pick this occasion, and there is no other way.

Shen Xiao said in a cool voice: "You can search, if you can't find anything, Cao Zhaoyi will bear the consequences." ”

Cao Zhaoyi swore an oath: "If you can't find anything, the concubine is willing to bear any punishment!" ”

The waiting time for search results is particularly long.

Cao Zhaoyi's kneeling waist was straight, with a look of ambition, and from time to time her eyes glanced at Xin Wei proudly.

After a pillar of incense, the guards who went to search went and returned, and a guard entered the hall with a celadon flower bottle, and a weeping silk begonia was inserted in the flower bottle. The other guard held a piece of letterhead.

Cao Zhaoyi stared at the letter, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the begonia that the guard gave to Xin Jieyu!" ”

Yes, Shen Xiao naturally couldn't be clearer. Because he asked Feng Zhi to send it.

Liu Qingshu smiled: "There is no evidence, you say yes?" This begonia can be picked by Xin Jieyu herself, or it can be given by the harem sisters. ”

Zhang Zhaoyi, who had been silent, said loudly: "From now on, who do you mean to say, a piece of spring heart pays begonias." Concubines heard that folk men often gave begonia flowers to express their undeclared affection. ”

Cao Zhaoyi knew that a begonia could not become evidence, she didn't mean to be here, pointed to the letterhead held by another guard, lest the world be chaotic and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, what is this!" ”

"Back to the emperor, this is the letterhead found in the flower bottle."

The guards presented the letterhead to the emperor, Shen Xiao opened it, his eyes darkened a little, and he handed it to his father-in-law beside him, "Read." ”

When Gonggong Xi saw it, his old face was red, but the emperor had an order and had to read it.

"White grass is pure, and there are women like jade. Comfortable and free, I don't feel ......"

The more he read it, the quieter he became.
