"Niangniang, Niangniang is not good!" Zhilan went and returned, reporting to Concubine Huigui, "There are many people outside! Quan Chao Yonghe Palace is here!"

The eunuchs who were hitting the door stopped and looked at Concubine Hui.

"What are you looking at?" Concubine Huigui was willing to give up halfway, gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't the person here yet, hurry up and slam the door open! Otherwise, you will have good fruits to eat!"

"Whoo!"

The door was locked for a long time, but finally it couldn't stand it anymore.

With a bang, the table and chairs behind it were lifted.

Concubine Hui Gui was overjoyed and led the crowd into the hall. She turned her eyes and landed on the brazier placed by the window. She saw not only ingot candles, but also torn bed curtains and gauze curtains, billowing black smoke. From the basin, it floated straight out of the window, blackening half of the sky.

Her eyes moved slowly and landed on the initiator beside the basin. Concubine Hui Gui was surprised at first, and then she gave birth to an anger of being played with: "It's actually you!"

The fool who ate seven bowls of lotus root starch balls in front of her!

Someone who can rescue noble person Yu from under the assassination eunuch, and who can use fireworks to recruit the entire palace as a rescuer, such a person could be a real fool!

At this moment, Concubine Huigui didn't even care about the noble person Yu, she raised her hand and pointed at Wei Yingluo: "Kill her!"

The eunuchs came towards Wei Yingluo one by one, like spiders crawling from a web, in all directions, with nowhere to escape. The light shone into Wei Yingluo's eyes, her eyes lit up, and she shouted with all her strength, "Lord Fucha, save me!"

The light rushed in front of her.

With Wei Yingluo behind him, his sword pointed to the eunuchs in front of him, Fu Cha Fu Heng asked with a dignified expression, "Prince Concubine, what's going on?"

Concubine Huigui's red lips parted lightly, and she opened her mouth to say that she was innocent: "Bengong passed by Yonghe Palace today, and wanted to take a look at nobleman Yu. If I run into this girl and want to kill, I will naturally take her down!"

Wei Yingluo had already expected her to do this, and immediately said: "What is the truth, when the noble person wakes up, you will know when you ask."

Only then did everyone notice the unconscious Yu Guiren, and immediately stepped forward to check, and went out to find the imperial doctor. When the imperial doctor came to diagnose Yu Guiren's condition, Fu Cha, Fu Heng, pulled Wei Yingluo aside and lowered her voice. Sheng asked her: "What's going on, please tell me clearly."

"I came here to visit the noble man on the order of the queen, and found that the eunuch was strangling the noble man to death." Wei Yingluo pointed at the murderer who had just woken up on the ground, "I couldn't beat him, so I could only run out of the palace to ask for help, but the result was When I meet Concubine Hui, she will kill me as soon as she meets her! Out of desperation, I can only hide in the main hall and use smoke to entice everyone to save themselves!"

Fucha Fu Heng's eyes fell on the other side, and said coldly: "Tell me, who are you, and who sent you here?"

Compared with Wei Yingluo, this eunuch is even more strange.

He was covered in blood, and when asked, he was not from the Yonghe Palace at all.

This is surrounded by everyone, he slowly raised his head, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his blood-stained face, and said, "I was sent by the Empress."

"When did this palace make you kill people?"

Everyone looked at the sound, and saw that the queen had stood in front of the door at some point, apparently hearing what the eunuch had just said, and a rare anger appeared on the face that was always calm and undisputed.

The eunuch glanced at Concubine Huigui, who couldn't be traced, Concubine Huigui narrowed his eyes, he lowered his head again, and kowtowed to the Empress, "Empress Empress, the servants don't want to say anything, but now things have come to light, I really have to. Say! You lost your first son, and you hated that the nobleman was pregnant with a dragon child, so on the grounds that the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged manpower, the servant was placed in the Yonghe Palace, and the servant was asked to take the opportunity to get rid of the nobleman! Today, on the seventh day of the concubine, the palace No sacrifices are allowed, the noble people have to spread the crowd, and the slaves just find the opportunity-"

"What nonsense!" The queen was trembling with anger. She was unwell before, but now her eyes were even darker. If Erqing hadn't been supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Empress Empress, be careful with your body!" Fucha Fu Heng hurriedly reassured him. When he turned to look at the eunuch, his eyes were as cold as swords. He walked up to the other side and lifted him up, "Who asked you to frame the Queen! You know, this is the big crime of destroying the nine clans!"

"The servants dare not! If there is no mother's order, how dare the servants come to kill. Now that the mother has turned her face and denied it, the servants have nothing to say! But begging for death is enough to be loyal to the mother!" After speaking, the eunuch's lips curled up He rose, smiled at him, smiled, and a line of black and red blood flowed down the corner of his lips.

Fucha Fu Heng was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "The Imperial Physician!"

The imperial doctor who was diagnosing Yu Guiren rushed out from the inside, put his finger on the eunuch's neck, opened his eyelids and lips to look, shook his head, and said to Fucha Fu Heng: "Poison hidden between the teeth, poisonous. It's violent, and it can't be saved."

Death without proof - these four words suddenly flashed in Fucha Fu Heng's heart.

"He lied." Just when Fucha Fu Heng was anxious, a cold voice sounded in his ear. He looked over and saw Wei Yingluo standing tall. Although her hair was messy, she was arrogant and arrogant. Song climbed the cliff and said coldly to everyone, "If the Empress is going to kill the noble lady, why did she ask me to visit? Imperial doctor, please tell everyone, how many scars are there on this eunuch?"

Although the eunuch didn't understand what she meant, but Fuchao Fu Heng's eyes signaled, and he replied honestly: "This eunuch has three large and small wounds, a blood mark left by the tip of a hairpin on his neck, and he was hit by a heavy object on the back of his head. Injured swelling."

"I did it all." Wei Yingluo quickly admitted, rolling up one of her sleeves, revealing bruises and bruises, "I have a lot of similar wounds on my body, and they all came from fighting with him. Empress really wants to take the life of a noble person, why did she send me to stop him, isn't this a contradiction?"

Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Concubine Hui squinted her eyes and said lightly: "Xu Shi... Did the queen ask you to kill and silence?"

"Look at how embarrassed I am?" Wei Yingluo took a few steps in front of the crowd, showed her wounds, her messy hair, and her most embarrassed side in front of everyone, then asked with a smile, "If I come to kill Mute, why are both hands empty, not to mention daggers, not even clubs!"

Isn't it

There is a huge disparity in strength between men and women. If you don't even have a weapon in your hand, let alone murder and silence, or you will be silenced by the other party.

"It's you." Wei Yingluo suddenly fixed her gaze on the group of palace servants behind the other party, and asked softly, "Why did you come to Yonghe Palace today? If you want to visit, but you are empty-handed and only bring a group of vicious eunuchs..."

Everyone looked at Concubine Hui Gui with different eyes.

"Bold!" Concubine Hui Gui said angrily, "How dare you doubt this palace!"

All the palace servants behind her were looking at her. As long as she gave an order, they would jump up and take Wei Yingluo down.

"Bengong feels that she didn't say a word wrong!"

But in this place, there is another person of high status, and with just her words, no one dares to attack Wei Yingluo.

After resting for a while, the queen has come over a little bit. With Erqing's help, she walked in front of Concubine Huigui. The two looked at each other, and she said lightly, "Yingluo has already explained, how about you? Concubine Huigui, what do you want? What is the explanation for your behavior?"

Wei Yingluo's remarks gave her a good relief.

There is no proof in death - not only for the queen, but also for Concubine Hui.

With only words and motives, no one can escape the suspicion of two people, and the suspicion of Concubine Huigui is even more serious.

If the trouble comes to the emperor, who do you think he will help? Who will you believe

With so many eyes watching and so many ears listening, Concubine Hui Gui had to take a deep breath, knocked down her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach: "...It's the concubine's mistake, how can you believe the words of a murderer, I think he came here for the sake of Concealing the mastermind behind you and deliberately framing you, Niangniang."

"Yeah, how can you believe the words of a murderer." The Queen was half admonishing, half warning, "As a noble concubine, you are an example to everyone, and you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, okay, go back to the storehouse Xiugong, just meditate on yourself!"

The Empress's heart is bright, and she has already guessed the cause and effect of the whole thing.

On the way back to Changchun Palace, she raised her hand and called Wei Yingluo to her side. She took her hand and said as she walked, "Concubine Huigui will hate you to the bone after eating this secret loss, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Wei Yingluo lowered her brows and said, "But for the sake of the empress and the noble people, I have to say these words."

The queen smiled with satisfaction, looking at her eyes full of love: "If it weren't for your words, I would not be able to wash this pot of sewage today, dear boy, don't worry, I will not be able to wash it. I will let Concubine Huigui touch you in the slightest."

What she meant inside and outside of her words was to cultivate Wei Yingluo as a confidant.

Since he is a confidant, he is naturally no better than other little palace maids and little eunuchs. He can be handed over to others at will, and he must be carefully cared for like wings growing on his own body.

"Thank you, Master." After Wei Yingluo thanked her, she suddenly asked her tentatively, "But we... just forget it?"

"The most important witness is dead, and he has nothing to say. Even if he tells the emperor, what can the emperor do?" Knowing the way of doing things in the palace, and having a heart for training, the queen carefully analyzed with Wei Yingluo, "The most important thing is that you have done things that you shouldn't do..."

"You mean..." Wei Yingluo frowned.

"Bengong knows that she and Concubine Yi are brothers and sisters, and Concubine Yi died because of her, so on the day of Concubine Yi seven or seven, she will send everyone around her away and set up a private mourning hall alone to pay tribute to her deceased." The queen narrowed her eyes. Said, "But you must know that in the Forbidden City, only the master is worthy of the sacrificial ceremony. If you say it lightly, it violates the rules of the palace. If you say it seriously, it is to openly curse the emperor and the empress dowager, so, Even if it's to protect the noble lady and the child in her womb, you can't make a big fuss about it, especially not in front of the emperor!"

"My servant understands..." Wei Yingluo said on her lips, but she felt a little sadness in her heart.

Poor Yi Concubine.

Just like her sister, she suffered an unjust injustice. After her death, she did not even have a serious tablet. Only one person in the whole world remembered her and secretly paid her homage.

When her heart became heavy, the wounds on her body also started to hurt, and it was not good to grin in front of the queen. Wei Yingluo helped the queen all the way back to Changchun Palace. After she took the medicine and fell asleep, she silently exited the door and limped. go to his room.

There was no one on the road, Wei Yingluo rolled up one of her sleeves, looked at the bruises on her snow-white arm, frowned and said, "Perhaps, I should go to the imperial doctor to ask for a bottle of medicine.

"Take it."

A man's voice suddenly came from across from her.

Wei Yingluo paused in her footsteps and slowly raised her head.

In front of him was a snow-white medicine bottle.

Looking down the medicine bottle, she slid to the hand holding the medicine bottle, with well-defined joints, slender and powerful, and finally seeing his face, Wei Yingluo asked in surprise, "Master?"
