Empress Hua Yao let out a cold and stern shout, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and everyone in the palace was in danger, and they didn't dare to look up at the empress.

Prince Xiqi Pingjia, who was sitting on the couch, moved his body, his small eyes narrowed, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at everyone left and right. After he entered the hall, he remained silent, watched for a long time, and finally figured out the reason for the matter.

He slowly raised his eyebrows, thinking: "Empress Hua Yao is making a big fight for the two cooks, there must be something strange about this matter." But the majesty of the empress cannot be disobeyed, those who go with it prosper, and those who go against it die. A glance at the Kunlun Emperor, seeing that his face did not change, he was calm, and he was obviously helping Empress Hua Yao.

Prince Pingjia nodded secretly, the Kunlun Immortal Clan, must not be offended.

He got up happily and said with a smile: "Since the cook lady came to the dove country with the empress, she naturally has no bad intentions, but she can't hide from someone deliberately framing her." Now I can't ask anything in the retrial, so it's better to treat the chef's injuries first, and it's not too late to ask questions when it's ready. ”

Empress Hua Yao nodded: "What Pingjia said is reasonable, this palace wants to see who deliberately framed him." His eyes lifted up and looked at the old woman, who was suddenly chilled and shocked.

Empress Hua Yao stared coldly at Ling Po for a moment, and suddenly turned to Kunlun Peerless Emperor with a pair of eyes, and said with a slight apology: "These trivial matters in the family have made the Divine Monarch laugh. ”

Emperor Kunlun raised his hand and smiled slightly, "Every family has things that are difficult to decide, since you have caught up with the good days of the princess and Lu, I will plead with the empress to calm her anger, don't let Princess Tong feel guilty and panic because of this matter." ”

Empress Hua Yao slowly raised her eyes, looked at the people beside her, glanced at Princess Tong again, and then smiled at Emperor Kunlun Jue: "The Divine Monarch is too worried, and this palace naturally feels sorry for her daughter." ”

As he spoke, his tone turned cold, "Who was going to pour poison on Zi Ning just now?" His gaze was like a knife, first passing over Fang Yan's face, and then turning to Ling Po, who bowed her head and was silent.

The old woman realized that something was wrong, and the sharp pain of her broken wrist made her head full of cold sweat, and she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to snort. Seeing that Empress Hua Yao was about to judge her, she simply made a heart, relying on the old man in the palace of the Dove Kingdom, and mustered up the courage to meet her.

Curtsied, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Fang Yan, the poison is the old slave's own opinion, please ask Niangniang to punish the old slave." ”

When everyone saw Ling Po stand up, they all secretly felt that it was not good, this old palace concubine has always been ruthless and unforgiving, I am afraid that she will collide with Empress Hua Yao and be punished for a big crime of disrespect.

Empress Hua Yao sneered, "Mrs. Ling has lived so old that she actually said that she made her own claims in the country of the dove, if this palace uses the national law and family rules to punish her, do you feel wronged?"

Ling Po frowned, pursed her lips, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The old slave has lived for most of his life, and he has been a harem slave in the country of Fa Gu since he was a child, and he has seen some of the world. I have never seen a fairy country run by Niangniang, and the emperor has become a painting on the wall, which is only good-looking, but it is useless......"

"Presumptuous!"

"Bold minion!"

Emperor Hair Dove and Prince Pingjia shouted at the same time, the imperceptible coldness and gloom in Emperor Hair Dove's eyes flashed, and all the slaves and maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, thinking that Ling Po had no way to hide her mouth, and this old fate was put aside.

Empress Hua Yao's face changed suddenly, and then she said with a smile: "What does Ling Po mean is that this palace is suspected of trespassing in the country of Fa Jiu, and she has failed to keep the rules of the fairy clan's women's way, so she has to take off the hairpin and apologize?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts suddenly hung up, and their eyes were all focused on Emperor Hairdove.

Emperor Hairdove bowed his head for a long time and was silent, but his face was tense, secretly hating this old woman for not knowing the severity, and actually embarrassing him in front of outsiders.

Ling Po's face was arrogant and disrespectful, and she knew that she couldn't take back what she said just now, so she had no scruples, and muttered in her mouth: "The old slave doesn't dare, but it's just a fair word for our emperor in vain......" His eyes secretly glanced at Emperor Dove, and saw that his face was gloomy, red and white for a while, and he didn't know what to do in his heart.

Empress Hua Yao's lips were tightly closed, she coughed lightly, and a slight wisp of impatience rose between her eyebrows.

If it weren't for Zi Ning, with her noble immortal body, how could she be willing to ignore her identity and confront a confused old palace concubine for a long time. Suddenly, his face darkened, and then he exhaled a long breath deeply, only to feel extremely bored.

When everyone saw her suddenly silent, they all looked at each other, a little confused.

At this time, Prince Pingjia snorted coldly: "An old palace maid in the Fa Gu Kingdom, do you dare to say it or not?" turned his head and ordered his subordinates to follow the guards, "This arrogant old slave, who is rebellious and contradicts the empress, will not step forward and slap his mouth, and will be killed immediately!"

At the sound of an order, two guards with swords and armor immediately stepped forward and held Ling Po left and right, and all the palace ladies in the main hall were so frightened that their faces were bloodless.

Empress Hua Yao's expression eased slightly, and she ordered lightly: "Pull out the head of this old slave with the palace, and serve the big punishment!" A palace lady beside her received the order, stepped forward and pulled out the hairpin on Ling Po's head, and snatched her a pair of beaded earrings. Two of Prince Pingjia's guards stepped forward and forcibly held down Ling Po's mouth.

Ling Po gritted her teeth and was silent at first, but when she saw Emperor Dove lowering her eyebrows, she didn't dare to meddle in this matter at all, knowing that the general trend was gone, she struggled to get up, and shouted loudly: "Emperor, the old slave has something to report, and Zi Ning is the Empress of Huayao......"

Before she could say any more, the attendant waved the board of his palm and knocked out several of her front teeth, and her mouth was bleeding and her lips were bruised and swollen. The old woman whimpered for a long time, and her eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, but she couldn't make any more sound.

Empress Hua Yao's eyes flashed, and then she said gloomily: "The palace is also tired, go back to the room to rest." "Her anger today is indeed a bit big, after all, just for the two cooks, it is impossible to say that she is so angry.

But this tone can't be endured, and keeping Ling Po is also a bane, but fortunately, Prince Pingjia came forward in time.

Princess Tong hurriedly got up to help, Empress Hua Yao waved her hand, and then instructed the two palace concubines: "You send the princess back to Cailan Palace, so that you can comfort, and the palace will go to see Tong'er later." ”

His eyes turned to look at the Emperor of the Hair Dove, and said lightly: "The Emperor must be tired, and he has not been idle for a moment for most of the day." Ling Po is an old person in the palace, the emperor will deal with it personally, don't let people say that the palace is autocratic, there is only Empress Hua Yao in this palace, there is no emperor!"

Emperor Dove frowned, his face suddenly turned red, and he said with a sneer: "It's all a family, what did Hua Yao say......

Empress Hua Yao got up and straightened her clothes slightly, turned her eyes to look at the Kunlun Emperor, and said with a slow smile: "This palace has received a few calligraphy and paintings outside the Great Wilderness, and the Divine Monarch has a good eye, so please move to the car and taste it." ”

Emperor Kunlun stood up proudly, and he was not polite, waved his gold-inlaid white satin sleeves, and said, "Empress Hua Yao, please." ”

Empress Hua Yao nodded, and walked straight out. The Kunlun Emperor followed and left the main hall.

"Hua Yao, this ......" Emperor Hair Dove had an earthy gray face, screamed in his mouth, and raised his sleeves to get up. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and commanded sharply: "Beat this old slave with twenty rods, drag it out and sink it into the pond of the West Garden, remember that she has served in the palace all her life, and leave a whole corpse." ”

Ling Po had already let the whipping board hit her face and her face was swollen, and when she heard the order of Emperor Fa Jiu, she immediately fainted and fell to the ground. Prince Pingjia snorted coldly and raised his hand, and the two attendants dragged the unconscious old woman out of the door.

Fang Yan was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her spine, until the emperor left the hall, and most of the black pressure person walked away in an instant, her knees were weak, and she couldn't stand steadily, and she fell to the ground, trembling all over.

An old palace concubine trembled and stepped forward to help her, and called in shock: "Steward Fang, how can this be a good ......" The remaining dozen palace ladies in the main hall stood in place, and they had not recovered from the fright. Seeing Emperor Dove go all the way, he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat.

Fang Yan supported the edge of the couch with one hand, barely standing up, and a wave of resentment and hatred in her heart surged and rolled.

"Zi Ning!" muttered in her mouth, a pair of eyes were blurred into a narrow slit, and Ling Po's words lingered in her ears for a long time, "That Zi Ning is Empress Hua Yao......" A cold smile appeared on her face, Empress Hua Yao protected Zi Ning so much, didn't she have some secret secrets?

Fang Yan raised his eyes and looked out, the ground was like snow, overlapping and covered with petals, and sneered in his heart: "It's another season of canonization, the Immortal Clan's Divine Monarch's Zen Ceremony, it's time for the Dove Kingdom to prepare a congratulatory gift." ”

She inserted her hands into the sleeves of her embroidered satin, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and sneered, "Zining, you wait, wait for me to send you to a good place!" Then she turned around and shouted: "Go and tell the housekeeper to bring the maid's book of betrayal, I want to read it carefully!"

Pieces of white apricot blossoms outside the door floated into the house and sprinkled on the ground, like tears.

......

Three days later, the poisoning had come to fruition.

Qianji got the lunch list for the day, and it turned out that the dead Gong'e ate a few dog meat buns in the morning, and secretly drank a bowl of yellow eel soup at the luncheon.

This dog meat and yellow eel are originally mutually restrictive food, and eating them together will produce highly poisonous. In addition, Xiao Gong'e's cultivation foundation was unstable, but she took the Dan Qi and practiced the Qi, and the Dan Qi in her body aggravated the food toxicity, so she died on the spot.

The evidence of food restraint recorded in the medical book Danjing was presented, and Fang Yan blushed, ashamed and hateful, and couldn't say anything if she twisted and pinched.

Empress Hua Yao leaned on the couch and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It was a palace lady who gave away her life with greed, but you wronged a good person in vain." Tell me to go down and tell Lin Niang's mother and daughter to recuperate for a few days, and make some nourishing decoction in the dining room and send it to them, and they must also make up for it. ”

Qian Ji, who was standing on the side, nodded and glanced at Fang Yan, "The empress's words are extremely true, when did such a wronged person make such a mistake in our palace, but let the immortal guests who came to the palace bump into it that day, which damaged the face of the empress and the emperor." Speaking of this, Fang Yan also has to take care of it, and it is best to personally send the nourishing decoction to Lin Niang's mother and daughter. First, let people see that the rewards and punishments in our palace are clear, and secondly, it will also wash away the injustices of Lin Niang and Zining, what does the empress think?"

Qianji's words were very agreeable, and Empress Hua Yao said "um", "Fang Yan will do it, take the two thousand-year-old ginseng you got last time, and it will be a waste to put it away, give them some to eat, so that they can give birth and nourish their bodies." He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then instructed Qianji: "Ruochen, tell the imperial dining room to prepare a package of Emei Lingxiao Peak's bird's nest, and you can send it with Fang Yan." ”

Fang Yan's face was red and white for a while, and she was silent, although she was dissatisfied with Qianji, she didn't dare to show her face. I secretly hate Lin Niang and Zi Ning in my heart, the inferior cook in the dining room, give them a thousand years of ginseng, this cheap maid is also worthy!

Qianji smiled on her face and nodded in agreement: "The slave will go and get it." Then he turned around and glanced at Fang Yan with an embarrassed look on his face, "The medicinal soup instructed the imperial dining room to stew, Fang Yan will send it to Lin Niang and Zi Ning first, and I will arrive later." ”

Fang Yan hated the root of her teeth, and planned how to frame Zi Ning in her heart, she groaned for a long time, and her eyes rolled and she smiled: "The slave maid still has one more thing, I want to give Emperor Ming and Niangniang." ”

Empress Hua Yao lowered her eyebrows, didn't look at her at all, and the Haired Dove Emperor who was sitting beside her saw this, knowing that she hated Fang Yan, she raised her hand and said, "What is the matter?"

Fang Yan stepped forward slowly, bent forward slightly, and said respectfully: "These days, the immortal god monarch has a great ceremony of sealing Zen, according to the old practice of sending congratulatory gifts to the dove country, just the matter of the concubine, has not been done properly, and the slave maid wants to ask the emperor and the mother to show it." With that, his eyes glanced at Empress Hua Yao.

Emperor Hairdove frowned, "Choose a few maids from inside and outside the palace, train them, and send them out to be concubines, what's so difficult about this?"

Fang Yan's slender eyebrows narrowed, and the corners of her mouth curled up and smiled: "The Divine Monarch of Feng Zen this time is not as good as in previous years, the qualifications of the maids in the palace are worse, their appearance is not beautiful, and the pure yin qi is even worse, I am afraid that they will not be able to choose a good one." He secretly glanced at Empress Hua Yao again, and said slowly: "If they are all as talented as Zi Ning, the slaves don't have to worry about it like this." ”

Emperor Fa Gu didn't expect Fang Yan to mention Zining, because of this cooking girl, he had a lot of disagreements with the emperor and queen, and he didn't want to hear her name at the moment. So he raised his hand and said impatiently: "If that girl is good-looking and has high qualifications, she will be selected, and if she can't be selected by the outer palace gate, she will go to the inner palace to choose." I have thousands of maids in the palace of the dove king, how can I not choose a few maids to give away. ”

Empress Hua Yao was already unhappy in her heart, and hearing that Emperor Fa Jiu promised Zi Ning to be a concubine, she added a trace of annoyance. secretly scolded Fang Yan for being vicious, but his face did not show any emotion, and he showed a cold smile for a while, "I didn't expect Fang Yan to raise Zi Ning like this, isn't it afraid that the palace will block it, and bring it up in front of the emperor?"

Fang Yan's mind was punctured on the spot, her frightened eyes trembled, she leaned over and bowed her head and said, "The slave doesn't dare, it's just that Zi Ning looks good, so it's ......."

As soon as the words fell, Empress Hua Yao raised her hand to interrupt her, and said lightly: "Since Fang Yan has taken a fancy to it, let's choose it." It's just that in this inner palace, you can't choose someone to be a maid, and the maid of the inner palace of the Dove Country is the same as the young lady of the Dao Clan's Cave Mansion, to be a lowly maid, and there is no joke. ”

The country of the dove was originally a small country of the Dao clan, and it was very unpopular in the immortal world, since the emperor of the dove married the Empress Hua Yao from the immortal clan, he officially married the immortal clan. Since then, with the support of the empress, the identity of the emperor of the dove has also been slightly noble, and he often goes in and out of the fairy world, and gradually has a lot of heart to show off.

At this moment, listening to Empress Hua Yao lifting up the Hair Dove Kingdom, Emperor Hua Yao felt even happier in his heart, with a happy smile on his face, and hurriedly catered to him: "What Hua Yao said is that the concubine is given away as a congratulatory gift, and it is selected from the outer palace gate, if there is really none, spend some spirit stones and buy a few good-looking women." ”

Fang Yan saw that the plan succeeded, and couldn't help but be secretly proud. I thought: "Zi Ning, Zi Ning, I will send you to be a concubine, and I will ensure that your three souls and seven spirits will be dispersed and destroyed into fine ashes." ”

Empress Hua Yao understood what she was thinking, so she simply calculated and said, "If you want to choose a concubine, first go and send some wound medicine tonics to Zining, and add two extra ten thousand years of snow lotus to her." That girl is injured, what else to choose, all the face of the dove country. ”

Fang Yan was speechless, and when he saw that the emperor frowned and did not refute it, he had to hold back his anger for the time being and hurriedly retreated.

After Fang Yan left, the Emperor of the Hair Dove, who was sitting on the couch next to him, suddenly spoke, "Hua Yao, that cook is just a lowly maid, and she has rewarded the things used by the immortal clan, isn't it a waste?"

Two thousand-year-old ginseng, a pack of bird's nest from Emei Lingxiao Peak, plus two 10,000-year-old snow lotus, Emperor Dove hurts when he thinks about it, and the thing was brought by Empress Hua Yao from her mother's house, and he has no right to ask. It's just that the empress has always been arrogant, and as the empress's husband, he should admonish her politely and make her as good as a stream.

Empress Hua Yao stretched out her sleeves, narrowed her soft apricot eyes, raised her head and smiled: "When did the emperor become so stingy, Lin Niang's mother and daughter were brought to the country by the palace, and now they have been wronged and beaten to the point of not being human, if the palace is not compassionate, won't it make the people below chill?"

Of course, Emperor Hair Dove didn't want to admit that he was stingy, the smile on his face squeezed, and he said: "This king doesn't feel sorry for that thing, it's just ...... If the immortal clan knows, they will say that Hua Yao is willful and has exceeded the rules......"

As soon as the words fell, Empress Hua Yao's apricot eyes widened, put the teacup down on the couch table, turned her head to glance at Emperor Dove, and said with a slight anger: "What rules? This palace is to feed pigs with the things used by the immortal clan, and it doesn't interfere with anyone's rules!"

When Emperor Fa Jiu saw her like this, he knew that dissuasion was ineffective, and it would be self-defeating to say one more word, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Hua Yao, you are still such a child, this king just says a few more gossips, which makes you angry, but it is the sins of this king." He smiled and said no more.

――――
