Chu Xiugong failed to frame the queen this time, and the queen mother ordered the stage to be demolished.

But the people in Changchun Palace understood that Concubine Huigui would never give up.

One day, Wei Yingluo came out of the embroidery room and suddenly met Zhilan. The two of them didn't look sideways, and the moment they passed by the wrong shoulder, Zhilan asked, "Wei Yingluo, do you want to know the cause of Aman's death?"

Wei Yingluo turned around suddenly.

Zhilan smiled slightly and said, "At the third watch tonight, you will come to Chuxiu Palace alone. Remember, if the matter spreads, you will never want to know the truth for the rest of your life!"

The moon is pale and the clouds are pale, the wind is faintly scented with flowers, and the Chuxiu Palace in the night is gorgeous and splendid. Wei Yingluo followed Zhilan into the main hall, and saluted the two of them on the throne: "The servant greets the noble concubine, the concubine and the nobleman Shu."

Concubine Huigui covered her lips with a smile, and said, "Wei Yingluo, Ben Gong was still making a bet with Shu Guiren just now, whether you dare to come."

Wei Yingluo asked indifferently, "The servant dared to ask, did the concubine win, or did the noble lady win?"

Concubine Hui Gui's face sank, and she said coldly, "Ben Gong has always hated sharp-tongued people, especially you. How many good things have been broken for Ben Gong! However, if you can save Xiugong single-handedly, you are considered to be very courageous."

Wei Yingluo pretended to be afraid and said, "Yingluo is timid after all, so she left a letter before coming to Chuxiu Palace. If she can't go back within an hour, she will have to ask the empress to pick her up."

Concubine Huigui sneered, waved her hand, and said lazily, "Okay, this palace invites you to come here to let you see someone!" As soon as she finished speaking, a little eunuch was pushed out, but 134 Years old, kneeling beside Wei Yingluo.

Wei Yingluo glanced at the little eunuch with interest and asked, "Who is he?"

The little eunuch replied tremblingly: "The slave is the little Zhangzi, the eunuch who sweeps the imperial garden."

Nalan Chunxue said maliciously: "Little Zhangzi, tell me what you saw on the night of the tenth day of the first lunar month!"

Wei Yingluo's face changed suddenly.

The little eunuch glanced at Wei Yingluo and replied timidly: "The emperor was entertaining the royal family in the Qianqing Palace that night, and the stewards of the imperial garden were all lazy to play cards, and only the servants were left to guard. Later, when they heard a movement in the rockery, they quietly It's over!"

Wei Yingluo lost her composure and asked eagerly, "What did you see!"

The little eunuch replied with a trembling voice: "The slave saw with his own eyes that sister Yingning was dragged into the rockery by herself..."

Wei Yingluo suddenly burst out: "Why don't you save people!"

The little eunuch was terrified, fell back and said, "The slaves dare not... that person, that person..."

Wei Yingluo grabbed the little eunuch's shirt and asked, "Who the hell is that person!"

The little eunuch was restrained and uncomfortable, and shouted: "It's Fucha Fu Heng, Fucha Fu Heng!"

Wei Yingluo looked stunned, her hands loosened, and after a while, she smiled instead, nodded, and said, "The story is well made."

Nalan Chunxue frowned and asked, "Do you think we're making up stories to deceive you?" Wei Yingluo regained her calm: "Mother Zhang knows the purpose of my entry into the palace best about my sister! I'm going to see her in the embroidery room today. But I met Zhilan, and then Zhilan said she knew about my sister, isn't it too strange? You learned my secret from Mammy Zhang, and you want to take the opportunity to blame Fucha Fu Heng and force me to be Chuxiu Palace used, right?"

There was silence in the hall, and the little eunuch opened his mouth and seemed petrified.

Concubine Huigui chuckled and broke the silence: "Wei Yingluo, do you think there is only one jade pendant as evidence?"

Wei Yingluo's heart tightened and she asked, "What does Niangniang mean?" Nalan Chunxue looked at the little eunuch and ordered, "Take it out!"

The little eunuch tremblingly took out a court belt from his arms, held it in front of Wei Yingluo, and said, "The servant picked up this court belt in the rockery, it must be because the other party walked too quickly and didn't pay attention to—"

Wei Yingluo grabbed the court belt, which was embroidered with the same Manchu script as the jade pendant. She clenched the court belt instantly.

Concubine Hui Gui said proudly: "Fu Cha Fu Heng, a piece of jade pendant can be said to be a coincidence. Now it even has a court belt. This is the personal belongings of the first-class guards. Could it be lost casually?"

Wei Yingluo clenched her belt tightly, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Nalan Chunxue immediately struck while the iron was hot, and also said, "Fu Cha Fu Heng has tarnished Aman's innocence, the dignified and virtuous queen concubine expelled this poor maid from the palace in order to protect her younger brother's reputation. Don't worry, if this palace maid goes out to talk nonsense, it will definitely affect the reputation of the Fucha family! In order to avoid future troubles, simply-"

Wei Yingluo said sharply, "Enough!"

Nalan Chunxue said with a smile: "Look at you, before I said anything, I was trembling with anger, and I also understand you. You went to the palace with all your hardships, just to find the enemy who killed your sister, but you became the most powerful enemy in the hands of the enemy. A good knife! That pair of hypocritical siblings might laugh at you behind their backs, saying how stupid you are to think that the thief is the master!"

Yingluo stared coldly at Concubine Hui and asked, "What exactly does the concubine want me to do?"

Concubine Huigui said in a bewitching tone: "The queen is best at being sullen and deceiving the world with that dignified and virtuous face. Now, you already know the truth. This palace hopes that you will serve for this palace!"

Wei Yingluo asked, "How to work?"

Nalan Chunxue stretched out her hand and handed Yingluo a packet of medicine, saying: "The Queen fooled and deceived you like this, don't you want revenge? As long as you put this packet of medicine into the Queen's daily diet, you can kill without knowing it. got her!"

Yingluo was startled and asked in disbelief, "You want me to poison the queen?"

Nalan Chunxue smiled contemptuously and asked, "Why, are you afraid? The Empress is Fu Heng's biggest supporter. In order to protect her own younger brother, she did not hesitate to kill innocent Aman! Poor Aman lost her virginity first and was expelled from the palace. In the end, you were strangled to death and cast aside by the family, all these misfortunes were caused by the queen and sisters, yet you are so merciful!"

Yingluo's fingertips trembled and she took the medicine bag.

The next day, at Changchun Palace, Fu Heng came to visit the queen. Wei Yingluo was preparing tea in the tea room. Pearl came from behind and asked, "Yingluo, is the tea ready?"

Wei Yingluo smiled and said, "Okay." After she finished speaking, she took the tray and pearls out of the tea room, and when she came to the main hall, she met Concubine Chun with a jade pot. Madam, please be safe!"

Concubine Chun smiled and said, "No gift."

Pearl asked: "Pure Concubine Empress, are you coming to see Empress Empress? The servants will go and report first!"

Concubine Chun glanced at the direction of the main hall, shook her head and said, "No need, Fucha guards are in the main hall, this palace still avoids first, and will come to see the empress at noon!"

Pearl Wei Yingluo said yes, passing by Concubine Chun, a gust of wind blew, brushed Yingluo's sleeves, and brought a fragrant wind, Wei Yingluo walked over without noticing it. Concubine Chun turned back suddenly, showing surprise.

The two walked into the main hall and put down the tea and snacks. Fu Heng's eyes seemed to revolve around Wei Yingluo, and the queen coughed and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't come to Changchun Palace if it's all right, the decree given by the emperor is not for you to waste at will. "

Fu Heng said with a smile, "Don't worry, Empress, E-niang asked me to come this time. She went to Huguo Temple to ask for a blessing, and asked me to bring it into the palace."

The queen sighed helplessly, and said, "Emian really, from Longfu Temple, Huguo Temple to Guanghua Temple, how many temples does she have to go to, and how many peace talismans she wants!"

Fu Heng said sweetly: "For the sake of my sister, E-Niang is willing to run even if she has thin legs."

The queen laughed, both doting and scolding: "Where did you learn to be eloquent?"

Fu Heng held up the teacup and smiled without answering. He looked up and saw Wei Yingluo staring at him, and couldn't help but smile at her.

Wei Yingluo also smiled back.

Fu Heng was about to drink tea, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking the drink: "Don't drink!" Concubine Chun entered the door like a gust of wind, and without saying a word, stepped forward and knocked over the teacup.

The porcelain cup fell to the ground and was torn apart. Fu Heng looked at Concubine Chun in surprise and asked, "Concubine Chun! What is this doing!"

The queen was also surprised: "Concubine Chun, what's wrong?"

Concubine Chun suddenly turned to Wei Yingluo, pointed with her hand, and Chen Sheng said, "You should ask, what did she do?"

Wei Yingluo's expression was calm as usual, and she asked, "Pure Concubine, what do you mean by this?"

Concubine Chun walked in front of Wei Yingluo, sniffed lightly, confirmed her own thoughts, and said, "Concubine Huigui is the holy pet of Bo, so she has found the body-penetrating pill, which she takes every day. The clothes you've gone through and the room you've stayed in are also fragrant, to prevent her from competing for favor, she strictly forbids the palace servants to follow suit, Wei Yingluo, why do you have such a scent on your body!"

The queen glanced at Wei Yingluo and said, "Concubine Chun, it must have just happened to be infected..."

Concubine Chun shook her head and said with hatred, "Niangniang, you and I meet with Concubine Huigui every day, why have you ever smelled the fragrance? There is only one possibility, Wei Yingluo went to Chuxiu Palace and stayed there for a long time! Because the incense burner of Chuxiu Palace is smoked with the same smell, it will not disperse! Now that Changchun Palace and Chuxiu Palace are inseparable, why does Wei Yingluo go to Chuxiu Palace?"

Fu Heng pursed his lips and looked deeply at Wei Yingluo.

Er Qing grabbed Wei Yingluo's arm and said anxiously, "Yingluo, please explain!"

Concubine Chun was full of disappointment, and she said bitterly: "She has nothing to say! I smelled her body just now, I can't be sure, so I ordered Yuhu to search her room and found this!" The concubine stretched out her hand, which was an empty medicine bag.

The queen's voice trembled slightly and asked, "What is this?"

Concubine Chun said: "I have checked, this is a medicine bag that has been filled with poison, and it is already empty!"
