As the saying goes: eat a trench and grow a wisdom.

Moreover, Concubine Shu has been able to cover the sky in the harem with one hand in the harem over the years, not only because of the transaction with the emperor back then, but also because her scheming and forbearance are very incomparable. Therefore, after receiving the edict and lifting the ban this time, she sincerely gave the emperor a recital, asking to demote herself to Zhaoyi. And she also took off her hairpin makeup and went to Yunyun Palace to ask Concubine Xian for her guilt.

Concubine Xian couldn't bear it for a while, and decided to leave Shu Zhaoyi for dinner in Yunyun Palace. At the dining table, Concubine Xian enthusiastically gave Shu Zhaoyi a dish, and when the palace maid who passed the dish went to the fourth course crystal elbow, she suddenly asked the palace maid to put the dish in front of Zhaoyi and said: "Zhaoyi Niangniang likes to eat this!" This sentence was not cared about at the time. But soon, Shu Zhaoyi reacted, but she still quietly and carefully observed everything in Yunyun Palace and Concubine Xian's preferences at the table.

"Isn't Niangniang's idea too bold?" After hearing Zhaoyi's thoughts, Ying'er, Shu Zhaoyi's personal maid, couldn't help but feel that she was too ridiculous.

"I like to eat crystal elbow, this dish is only known to Sister Yimei when I used to be a female historian, and it is impossible for Concubine Xian to know. ”

"But based on this alone, it is too child's fun to think that Concubine Xian Niangniang is Yimei back then. Ying'er still felt that this was like a barren night talk, "Besides, didn't you say that Concubine Xian didn't look like Yimei back then!" Zhaoyi was convinced of her own judgment, because I had carefully observed that although this Concubine Xian's appearance was different from Yimei back then, her movements and demeanor were exactly the same as Yimei's what she liked to eat. Zhaoyi doesn't believe it's a coincidence, and she's determined to find out the connection between the two.

If I find out that you are the Yimei of the past, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried!" Zhaoyi said to herself. However, the fear in her heart could not be hidden.

If Concubine Xian was the Yimei of the year, then she would oppose herself as soon as she entered the palace, obviously to take revenge.

Shu Zhaoyi became more and more respectful to Concubine Xian after that, and the movement between Yunyun Palace became more and more frequent. On the other side, she united with some idlers in the court to investigate the background of Concubine Xian. Compared with Shu Zhaoyi's ulterior motives, Concubine Xian was obviously blinded by the deep sisterhood, and gradually relaxed her vigilance and guard. Shu Zhaoyi often walks around the Yunyun Palace, in addition to finding more flaws about Concubine Xian, and more importantly, she wants to buy people's hearts, and she plans to have the people around Concubine Xian personally expose her lies in the future. Compared with the mutual friendliness between Concubine Xian and Shu Zhaoyi, Yun'er has never had a good face towards Shu Zhaoyi. She reminded Concubine Xian all the time to be careful that Shu Zhaoyi was hiding a knife in her smile, but Concubine Xian, who was deeply involved in sisterhood, said almost every time that Yun'er was too nervous.

It didn't take long for Zhao Shuyi to be diagnosed by the imperial doctor as being pregnant with a dragonborn, and based on this, Shu Zhaoyi accelerated her pace.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubines and palace people in the palace set up a Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet in the Ziyang Hall under the dispatch of the virtuous concubine. The emperor also ordered several old princes and princesses outside the palace to attend, and everyone gathered together to have a good time. Shu Zhaoyi, who has always been quite a drinker, unusually refused to drink, even tasted some cakes and cakes, and then only blindly ate grapefruit. Concubine Xian said with concern: "Although this grapefruit is delicious, if you eat too much, it hurts your stomach, so my sister should pay attention to it!"

"Xie Niangniang's care! But the concubine has not had a good appetite since she was pregnant, and she only likes this sour fruit. Shu Zhaoyi deliberately glanced in the direction of the emperor when she said this.

"Pregnant?!" the emperor was really sensitive to the matter of heirs. He leaned forward and asked eagerly, "You said you are pregnant?"

Shu Zhaoyi said with a slight shyness: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

The emperor was very happy, and said yes, and immediately summoned Shu Zhaoyi, and the position of the concubine was the same as that of the virtuous concubine. Concubine Xian and everyone got up to say hello to the emperor, and Concubine Xian said to Concubine Shu alone: "Congratulations to Sister Concubine!" At this time, she began to faintly think in her heart that this sister was so close to her before for today. But she didn't expect that the real blow to her was still to come, and she was still at this banquet that seemed to be singing and dancing.

After three rounds of drinking, it was even more exposed, and Yue'er, the second-class maid in Concubine Xian's palace, handed Yun'er Concubine Xian's finch gold qiu very intimately. Yun'er didn't think much about it, took it, shook her hand, and prepared to put it on Concubine Xian. With a crisp sound of jasper falling to the ground, a jade pendant rolled down from the ground to everyone. Concubine Xian couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the jade pendant, Yun'er wanted to pick it up but had already eaten it - the emperor shouted at her. Because this jade pendant emperor also recognized that it was given to Ziluo by the emperor's mother, and later Ziluo gave it to her on Yimei's birthday. When all this happened, the emperor saw it, and this jade pendant emperor didn't like it at all, just like he hated Ziluo who could have this jade pendant back then.

Concubine Xian's face turned pale, her body left the chair slightly, her hands grabbed the handle of the chair hard, and her voice trembled, "Your Majesty!" The emperor had regained his composure at this time, and said coldly to the inner eunuch beside him: "Take it, I will see." ”

Concubine Xian shouted again: "Your Majesty!" These two words are more sad and disappointed than fear.

The emperor took the jade pendant and looked at Concubine Xian carefully, wanting to explain something, the emperor raised his hand to stop her, but pointed at Yue'er and said, "You say!"

Yue'er was so frightened that she knelt down and said unknowingly: "Your Majesty, this jade pendant is a beloved thing of Niangniang, and it has always been carried closely. Concubine Xian didn't dare to make a sound, but Yun'er scolded Yue'er in a faux paze: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Slave maid," Yue'er glanced at Concubine Shu secretly a little timidly, and then strengthened her courage and said: "Slave maid doesn't dare to talk nonsense, this jade pendant is indeed Niangniang's beloved thing, and no one is usually allowed to touch it except Niangniang herself." The slave maid always thought that this jade pendant was given to the mother by His Majesty. ”

At this time, Concubine Shu slowly stood up and asked the emperor: "The concubine has never seen my sister wear this jade pendant, and it is just a jade pendant, maybe it was left to my sister by my sister's mother's family, and I don't know." Why doesn't His Majesty look so happy?!"

"Ai Fei, where did you get this jade pendant?" the emperor's tone was flat at this time, but the light from his eyes was like a dagger piercing the heart of the virtuous concubine. Concubine Xian still hadn't come back to her senses, she was not only afraid but also confused, trying to figure out why all this happened today.

"Look, this jade pendant looks like the thing of King Ying back then. As soon as the king said this, everyone whispered. King Rui, who assisted Zihao to ascend the throne, even suggested: "King Ying is a great rebel sinner, and Concubine Xian Niangniang actually has the object of a great rebel sinner, this matter must be strange, please ask Your Majesty to issue a strict investigation!"

Concubine Xian finally came back to her senses and ran to the hall to kneel down but didn't know how to defend herself, but Concubine Shu also knelt down and said to the emperor: "Sister Concubine Xian will not hide the things of the great rebel sinner for no reason, please Your Majesty be aware and do not wronged my sister!"

"Since Concubine Ai can't explain the origin of this jade pendant, then I have no choice but to wronged you first. "The emperor has no interest in family banquets. He stood up and said to the chief eunuch beside him: "Concubine Xian is imprisoned in her palace, and all palace people will be interrogated by the Shen Xingsi, and Dali Temple will be ordered to immediately examine Concubine Xian's family." ”

"Yes!"

Concubine Xian sat down with her legs paralyzed, and Concubine Shu still wanted to intercede for her, but the words "emperor" were interrupted by the emperor before she could say anything, "I have made up my mind, and those who intercede are guilty of the same crime!"

Concubine Xian finally understood that all this was Concubine Shu's plan, but everything seemed to be too late.
