"Okay."

The emperor spat out a word, and immediately someone went to prepare lime.

The reaction of everyone present was very different.

Concubine Wan panicked almost immediately, and looked at the maid behind Aunt Mei.

Shen Qingluan silently kept her reaction in mind and focused on the maid.

And the panic on Jun Chengsong's face was already beyond words.

If it weren't for knowing that Shen Qingluan didn't like others to interfere in her decisions, let alone others making decisions for her, Jun Chengsong would have been unable to help but take everything on himself.

Even if he gave up his life, he couldn't let Shen Qingluan be in danger again.

I owe it to her......

At this time, he relied on Shen Qingluan's calm and calm appearance to barely control the precarious worry.

The lime was quickly brought up.

Shen Qingluan methodically ordered the man to pour the lime into the basin, and while raising his hand, he slowly rolled up his sleeve.

Her hands were beautiful, and each phalanx was carved by a creator.

She took the water-soaked towel and wiped her hands clean, before she raised her hand to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my hands are washed with water, and there is nothing beside them." ”

Everyone's eyes were glued to the back of her hand.

I saw that the skin was as delicate as porcelain, and the round nails were lined with clear water droplets, as if it was an extremely delicate ink painting.

Such a pair of hands will rot, break bones, and turn into bone water?

A trace of unbearability flashed in the emperor's eyes.

But Shen Qingluan didn't give him a chance to hesitate and regret it, quickly and steadily, and inserted his hands into the lime!

"Ahh

I saw that the moment Shen Qingluan's hands were submerged in the lime, wisps of green smoke immediately oozed from the place where the skin came into contact with the lime.

However, in an instant, the back of Shen Qingluan's hand became red and swollen and ugly, and the skin on the back of the hand was delicate, and there were even signs of broken skin.

"Enough!"

At the same time as the emperor's voice, Jun Chengsong stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Shen Qingluan's arm, and vigorously pulled her out of the pile of lime.

"Your Majesty said enough is enough." Jun Chengsong's voice was hoarse, revealing unbearable heartache.

He thought that she was confident and would never get hurt.

But......

A pair of hands that were originally perfect as treasures will be covered in redness, swelling and scars.

This liar.

Shen Qingluan pulled his hands back slightly but resolutely, and raised his hands again:

"Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter just shook the ring, and it was only a touch in the lime, and her hands were already painful to the bone marrow.

Bringing the ring into the Qionglin banquet, and deliberately discarding the person who tried to damage His Majesty's holy might, he must have carried this ring with him for a long time.

As long as it is sprinkled with lime, and it takes less than a cup of tea to be contaminated, the person will be completely flesh and blood, and the marrow will melt, and he will be turned into blood on the spot, and there will be no corpse in his body. ”

Her words were as if they were a curse from hell, and the scars on her hands were too glaring to be convincing.

Those who were still half-convinced will already be fully convinced.

Especially the palace maid behind Aunt Mei, the panic on her face was about to come out.

Shen Qingluan knelt down at the emperor and said coldly: "Please give your majesty an order, the truth will be clear immediately." ”

"Okay—"

"No—" The Emperor's words were interrupted by a scream.

The palace maid behind Aunt Mei was trembling and crawled out.

Crawling out on her knees at the same time, there were several palace maids around Wan Guifei.

"Your Majesty spares your life, this ring was brought in by the slave maid, and the slave is willing to confess her guilt! Please forgive your Majesty! Please forgive your Majesty! ”

Wan Guifei was furious, and the expression on her face was ugly: "Stop, you are going to die!" ”

The emperor's eyebrows swept her lightly, and Concubine Wan immediately closed her mouth.

Xiuxin and the palace maids couldn't take care of so much.

In order not to be turned into blood by the lime, she cried with tears and snot on her face, and kept kowtowing on the ground.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty spares your life, and the slaves and maids don't dare anymore."

There were four palace maids kneeling on the ground, and after a little glance, they were all people around Wan Guifei.

Concubine Wan's face rose purpler than eggplant, and seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant, a storm was brewing in the emperor's eyes.

Concubine Wan's heart was horizontal, and she knelt down and asked Rao to distinguish-

The emperor interrupted her in a cold voice: "The palace maid of Fengming Palace has misbehaved and neglected her duties, and she will be dragged down and killed." The aunt in charge of the department misdisciplined her, and she was punished with twenty rods. ”

"Don't!" Xiuxin's expression was panicked and frightened, "The concubine Niangniang saved me, the slave maid just-"

The Emperor waved his hand.

Xiuxin and the rest of the maids were immediately dragged down by the eunuch with a gagged mouth, leaving only the wailing and screaming that came out of their mouths.

Concubine Wan and Aunt Mei both turned pale and looked frightened.

The emperor had never punished the people of Fengming Palace so severely.

So much so that they forgot that this man was not only a man who would spoil Concubine Wan, but also the lord of a country.

He has supreme power to hold a woman in his hands.

But at the same time, his majesty, his scales, his joy and anger must not be touched!

In this matter, whether the emperor is really angry and punished for the matter of Huanpei, or is it a warning to Concubine Wan Guifei's hand that stretches out too long, who can say?

"Alright, that's the end of the matter." With his hands behind his back, the Emperor skipped the people kneeling on the ground and walked towards the main courtyard.

Leaving only a deep and powerful voice, striking at everyone's heart.

"The Qionglin banquet is about to begin, and you will go to the banquet with me."

Walking to Shen Qingluan's side, the emperor stopped, "You are very smart, and you deserve to be Shen Shu's daughter." ”

Concubine Wan's face suddenly became even more ugly.

Today, she was originally setting up a game to teach Shen Qingluan a lesson, but who knew that she had prepared so carefully that she finally asked this woman to come over unharmed.

On the contrary, it was herself, who broke her muscles and bones!

This will make the emperor praise her, isn't this slapping herself with that big-eared scraper?

She raised her head and looked at Shen Qingluan's back resentfully.

I just wanted to teach her a lesson, since she was so short-sighted, she had to jump up and down here, so ......

Go to hell!

Jun Chengsong was keenly aware of her gaze, and immediately turned around to take in the madness in her eyes.

The fists clenched unconsciously.

At that end, Shen Qingluan and everyone sent the emperor away, and the breath that had been in his heart was dissipated.

When I straightened up, I felt uncomfortable with the shirt on my back.

It took a moment to react, and it turned out to be his own clothes, which had been soaked with sweat.

At Shangjun Chengsong's worried eyes, Shen Qingluan Shi Ran smiled.

"Slut!" This laugh stabbed Wan Guifei's chest, and her anger and resentment became more and more agitated.

"You dare to plot against this palace!"

If it was at the beginning, Wan Guifei found fault, Shen Qingluan was willing to settle things.

After all, in this world, more things are better than less.

But it was probably because the confrontation just now really exhausted Shen Qingluan's heart, and at this time, she no longer had the strength to sing with a mask in front of Wan Guifei.

No, perhaps, he has already torn his face with Wan Guifei, what is the need to act?

Could it be that if she says two nice words, Concubine Wan will be generous with her and let go of her past suspicions?

It can't be.

Now that Liangzi has been settled, why should she swallow her anger anymore.

Shen Qingluan hooked an extremely gentle and dignified smile, but in this gentleness and dignification, there was a bit of arrogance that was difficult for thousands of concubines to achieve.

"The courtiers didn't plot against the concubine, the courtiers just found out the truth for His Majesty. The father of the courtiers is the courtiers of the Great Zhou, and the courtiers are also the people of the Great Zhou, and it is the duty of the courtiers to be loyal to the monarch and love the country.

If loyalty to the monarch and patriotism and loyalty to His Majesty is a plot against Niangniang, then Niangniang should think about why she should go against Your Majesty and Da Zhou. ”

"You!"

"!" The palace maid beside her tightly hugged Wan Guifei's arm and said with an anxious expression:

"Your Majesty said, the Qionglin banquet is about to start, Niangniang should go to the banquet first, don't let Your Majesty wait for you."

Hearing the words Your Majesty, Wan Guifei, who was burned with anger, was a little sober.

His eyes glanced at Shen Qingluan viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." ”

Wan Yunxin and Mrs. Wan followed her, staring at Shen Qingluan with bitter hatred, but the moment she turned around, they immediately lowered their heads in unison.

Immediately, there was a burst of remorse.

Damn, what's going on, they are just now, they are actually subconsciously afraid of Shen Qingluan.

That from a small family, she also deserves it!

After thinking about this clearly, Wan Yunxin immediately raised his head and continued to look at Shen Qingluan indignantly.

saw that Shen Qingluan had already left with someone, leaving only a graceful back, as if laughing at her stupidity and cowardice.

Such a thing happened to the Qionglin banquet, although the emperor did not publicize it, but the people's mouths were not airtight.

When Wan Guifei and her party arrived in the front yard, many people had already heard the news.

It's just that the best thing for a reader is to hide his careful thoughts under thoughtful etiquette.

Therefore, except for the occasional whisper or two, Wan Guifei at least did not see anything unusual on the surface.

After settling down, Wan Guifei cheered up and followed behind the emperor, followed him slowly past the kneeling scholars, and sat down on the several seats in front of him.

Looking at the blackened head below, her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Power and glory are a chronic medicine, and you can't tell if it's a tonic or a poison.

Concubine Wan only knew that if she wanted to lose the power that was respected by all people, then she would rather die.

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A group of outstanding students straightened up and sat down in front of the bookcase.

Shen Qingluan also pulled Shen Xinyue to sit in his seat.

The emperor said some words of encouragement from above, so that everyone could perform well in the imperial examination, and said: "I am waiting in the palace to see your talents." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the students are grateful and will definitely swear allegiance."

A dialogue, the monarch and the people are happy, and they are also happy.

Shen Qingluan listened absentmindedly, and then looked at the students present.

There were about 40 people in the room, all of whom were popular students in this year's imperial examination.

Among them, there are five or six students from the Shen family, and there are a few students who are not surnamed Shen, but they are studying in the Shen clan.

In this way, this year's imperial examination is another time for the Shen family.

His eyes swept over, and suddenly when he saw a figure, he stopped for a moment.
