"How dare the slave and maid do such a thing! Let Qiao Jieyu become what she is now, the slave and maid are also guilty, but all this is what Ruan Guiren asked the slave and maid to do, not the slave's original intention!" Xiao Xiao knelt on the ground and cried, identifying that his master had ordered him to do this.

Ruan Xiaohong realized that something was wrong when Xu Lianyi summoned Xiao Xiao over, and was afraid that Xiao Xiao would do something unfavorable to her, so she asked Xiao Xiao's room to be strictly searched.

"Ruan Guiren, look at this. A little palace maid handed the note to Ruan Xiaohong and said.

Ruan Xiaohong took the note and found that the content on it was written to frame her, so she immediately put the note away and went to Qiao Jingyuan's bedroom to find Xu Lianyi and them.

And Xu Lianyi hesitated when she heard that Xiao Xiao would recognize Ruan Xiaohong, it would be fine if Xiao Xiao didn't admit it, but now that she said her master, there must be something wrong here.

"You said, this spider water was put in Qiao Jieyu's rouge by Ruan Guiren?" Xu Lianyi could emphasize the names of the two.

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "That's right!"

The answer was very simple.

Xu Lianyi narrowed her eyes.

"Queen Mother, you must be the master of the concubine! As soon as Qiao Jingyuan heard Xiao Xiao's confession, he immediately began to cry again, and even Imperial Physician Sun said a few words beside him.

It's just that Xu Lianyi still felt that there was something wrong here, and asked Xiao Xiao: "Ruan Guiren treats you badly?"

"It's not. Xiao Xiao was a little stunned, not knowing why Xu Lianyi asked like this.

"Then why did you say so easily that it was Ruan Guiren who instructed you, even if someone else came to instruct you, only Ruan Guiren had the most reason for this. But since she treats you well, why are you so decisive, could it be that she is just to save your life?"

When Xu Lianyi asked this, her eyes were staring at Qiao Jingyuan, this palace maid's confession was too neat, and if you look closely, you can know that in fact, Xiao Xiao didn't show any panic, which made no sense at all.

At this time, people from the outside palace came to report: "Queen Mother, Qiao Jieyu, Ruan Guiren ask to see." ”

Ruan Xiaohong specially asked clearly that Xu Lianyi and Qiao Jingyuan were here at this time, and she came here, she couldn't be wronged without knowing it.

The corners of Xu Lianyi's mouth hooked up a smile, now that everyone is here, they should always know what is going on, so they immediately asked Ruan Xiaohong to be brought in.

"The concubine has seen the queen mother, since the queen mother is already here, she must have known about it, and the concubine body came here this time to want the queen mother to see something. Ruan Xiaohong said with a little grievance, straight to the point, and directly handed the note to Xu Lianyi.

Xu Lianyi took the note and glanced at Qiao Jingyuan meaningfully, she had felt that there was something wrong with it before, but now it seems that it is really the case.

"Qiao Jieyu, I said before that this Xiao Xiao put spider water in your rouge, but how did she get close to your rouge?" Xu Lianyi asked, this time it was Xiao Xiao and Qiao Jingyuan's turn to be speechless, and Xiao Xiao was even more panicked after seeing the note.

Next, Ruan Xiaohong took out a small porcelain bottle, and Xu Lianyi immediately asked Imperial Doctor Sun to identify it, it was spider water.

"What the hell is going on?

Ruan Xiaohong knelt down and saluted Xu Lianyi and said: "Queen Mother, this note should have been written by Qiao Jieyu's subordinates, the purpose is to frame the concubine, if it wasn't for the concubine body today who noticed that something was wrong and went to search Xiao Xiao's room, this time she was wronged." ”

Compared with Qiao Jingyuan, who was very aggrieved and questioned Ruan Xiaohong before, it is obvious that Ruan Xiaohong, who is now taking the initiative to show weakness, makes people feel a little more distressed, Xu Lianyi felt that there was really something wrong after reading the note, so she took the note to Mu Yunting for identification, after all, this matter should also be known to Mu Yunting.

"Your Majesty, do you know this handwriting?" Xu Lianyi handed the note to Mu Yunting, and the rest of the people waited aside.

Mu Yunting knew that it was a harem dispute as soon as he saw the content, and he was upset for a while, and then he began to look at the handwriting, and said after a while: "It is the handwriting of Ping'er next to Qiao Jieyu." ”

Now the truth is revealed, it was Qiao Jingyuan who directed and acted in this performance, Ruan Xiaohong had nothing to do with it, but was framed by Qiao Jingyuan.

"Your Majesty, the queen, this matter is also wrong with the concubine, if the concubine can discipline the people in the palace well, there will be no such betrayal of the master. Ruan Xiaohong first showed weakness and admitted his mistake.

Ruan Xiaohong didn't have any fault in this game, it was just that her subordinates didn't discipline her well, she was in such a hurry to admit her mistakes, she just wanted to force Xu Lianyi to deal with Qiao Jingyuan. After all, this time Qiao Jingyuan also connived at his palace maids, and framed others to deceive Xu Lianyi and Mu Yunting, which can be regarded as a big crime.

Xu Lianyi hurriedly said: "Flat body, this matter will naturally be handled by the palace and the emperor." ”

"Ping'er, why are you doing such a thing? Qiao Jingyuan knew that the matter was about to be revealed, so he preemptively framed Ping'er.

Ping'er didn't expect Qiao Jingyuan to say this, you must know that these things were all ordered by Qiao Jingyuan to do this, isn't it possible to attribute all the fault to her now? But she is just a little palace maid, even if she identifies everything Qiao Jingyuan has done now, I am afraid it will not end up with any good results.

"Qiao Jingyuan, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost. Ping'er's voice was so small that only Qiao Jingyuan knew what she said.

Mu Yunting has always been tired of these harem intrigues, but he didn't expect all this to make a little maid set off a storm, and said angrily: "Come on, pull Ping'er out and kill with a cane!"

This is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, anyone can guess, Ping'er, a palace maid, how could she have so many ways, and how could she do such a thing for Qiao Jingyuan, especially, Qiao Jingyuan just looked at it coldly in the end, and did not intercede for Ping'er.

But it's just killing people.

But Ruan Xiaohong didn't intend to let this matter end so easily, she knew that this time it was Qiao Jingyuan who deliberately framed her, if she hadn't found out in advance, she would have been punished now. After hesitating for a moment, he hit the idea on the box of rouge mixed with spider water.

"Now that the truth is finally revealed, you will definitely have to manage the people in your palace in the future, so as not to happen again today. Xu Lianyi said a little sleepily, originally these concubines had fought openly and secretly enough to make her upset, but she didn't expect that even the palace maids would be uneasy now.

Qiao Jingyuan and Ruan Xiaohong hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "This time it was the concubine's dereliction of duty, which caused trouble to the emperor and the emperor's mother." ”

"Okay, you guys go back first, and pay more attention later. Xu Lianyi said, she doesn't want to listen to these two people talking nonsense here now.

At this time, Ruan Xiaohong took out the box of rouge from Qiao Jingyuan that he had taken before and said, "By the way, Qiao Jieyu, your rouge is still with me, so I have offended a lot." Ruan Xiaohong made a gesture and wanted to give the rouge to Qiao Jingyuan, but when he took it, he took it in reverse, and with an "accident", the rouge got on Qiao Jingyuan's hand.

"Ahh

Obviously, it's not the same as the red spots on the face.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Ruan Xiaohong also exclaimed, and hurriedly apologized to Qiao Jingyuan, "But why do I see that Qiao Jieyu's face and red spots are a little different from those on her hands?"

It was obvious that Ruan Xiaohong was saying that the red spots on Qiao Jingyuan's face were not caused by spider water, but framed.

Qiao Jingyuan also understood what Ruan Xiaohong meant, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what's going on, why are you so careless, Rouge doesn't know in turn." ”

Xu Lianyi glanced at Ruan Xiaohong and understood that Ruan Xiaohong was intentional at all, at first Qiao Jingyuan framed Ruan Xiaohong, but now he is lifting his foot and smashing his own foot.

"Could it be that the red spots on Qiao Jieyu's face are not because of spider water?" Ruan Xiaohong said with a light smile, his eyes full of banter.

Qiao Jingyuan naturally didn't admit it=, covered his hand and said: "It was diagnosed by the imperial doctor before, and I was like this because I was exposed to spider water, could it be that the imperial doctor would still coax me?"

The imperial physician will not coax Qiao Jingyuan, but he can coax others, and the imperial physician Sun, who was left out in the cold, secretly wiped his sweat, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

"Also, that's because I thought about it too much, maybe it wasn't because of the spider water. Ruan Xiaohong said meaningfully.

Qiao Jingyuan's hands were covered with red spots, which looked terrifying, so she covered her hands very aggrieved and walked in front of Mu Yunting and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has no face to see you, and now her hands are covered with red spots, and she hates herself." ”

This is a sign of weakness, wanting to win some sympathy from Mu Yunting, Xu Lianyi looked at Qiao Jingyuan with some unhappiness, this time she didn't investigate thoroughly, and it was good enough to let Qiao Jingyuan go easily, but she didn't expect Qiao Jingyuan to dare to do this in front of her.

On the other hand, Mu Yunting was not angry, nor did he dislike it, but wanted to grab Qiao Jingyuan's hand and comfort him: "I won't do anything because you have spots on your hands, you can rest well these days." Come, I'll see if there's anything going on. ”

"The emperor still don't look at it, so as not to dirty the emperor's eyes. Qiao Jingyuan said aggrievedly, but he didn't mean to take his hand back at all.
