What she said meant something, and Concubine Hui's breath suddenly became stagnant, then she narrowed her eyes and clenched the hand holding the handkerchief tightly. The person who harmed her prince today was also Xiao Qi! Okay, very good!
As she thought about it, Concubine Hui's face grew colder and colder, "Seventh Princess, of course I want to be virtuous, but what I'm afraid of is that your mother-in-law will show no mercy!"
"You!" Xiao Xinning gritted her teeth with hatred, but when Emperor Jing glanced at her, she didn't dare to speak anymore. She only looked at Emperor Jing aggrievedly and said, "Father, don't you even believe in your mother? "
Concubine Ye Guifei has always been respected by Emperor Jing, but even now, Emperor Jing has never said a harsh word.
At this moment, Wen Ruyu, who had always been a spectator, spoke up, "Who ordered this incense?"
Just as Emperor Jing was about to speak, he suddenly heard him speaking. He immediately followed the words and saw Wen Ruyu picking up a burner of incense at some point, frowning and asking questions.
Hearing this, Concubine Hui's heart skipped a beat and she said, "I ordered it from a member of the palace. Why? Is there anything wrong?"
Wen Ruyu sneered and said in a waning mood, "It's not inappropriate, it's extremely inappropriate. This incense is called soul-stirring incense, which is made from spices from the Western Regions. After it is lit, Yama spiders will come out within ten miles after smelling the incense. They are people from the Western Regions." It’s a good helper for attracting spiders.”
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows again and said, "I just don't know how this spice unique to the Western Regions could appear in the palace of Concubine Hui, and also at this thousand-gold banquet."
Concubine Hui immediately cried out, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on. Someone, bring Bi Lan over. I want to find out who is framing me!" "
The second half of this sentence was addressed to the palace people.
Xiao Xinning saw that she was panicking at this moment, and immediately sneered, "Oh, I was very plausible when I spoke about others just now. Why is it my turn that I can only cry out for injustice?"
Concubine Hui turned back angrily and glared at Xiao Xinning. The latter did not dodge, but looked directly into her eyes. Then she walked to Concubine Ye and said, "Concubine, someone is scaring me. Ning'er is so scared."
Although she said this, there was no fear at all in her eyes, but instead she was full of gloating.
Concubine Hui was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, but she couldn't argue with a child like her in front of Emperor Jing, so she pinched the handkerchief tighter and tighter.
Not long after, Bilan was brought in. Seeing so many people in the room, Bilan shrank, knelt down and said, "Greetings to the emperor, and to the masters."
Xiao Xinning asked first, "Who is this master? You have to figure it out clearly. We are not your masters. The only master you have is the one in front of you." After saying that, Xiao Xinning pointed out kindly. Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui didn't even bother to glare at her this time. She walked up to Bi Lan and said bitterly, "Slave dog, who ordered you to frame me?"
Hearing this, Bilan's body shrank again and said, "Mother, there is no slave."
"No? Then I ask you, what is in that incense burner?" Concubine Hui pointed at the burner of incense with an excited expression, her eyes filled with coldness.
Her expression was not a disguise. She could still watch the show before, but now that the fire was burning on her head, she couldn't sit still and wait for death!
His blue eyes flashed, and he kowtowed and said, "Master, that's jasmine."
"This is a very clever lie. I have been practicing medicine for so many years, and this is the first time I have heard of someone who can't tell the difference between jasmine and ecstasy."
Wen Ruyu seemed to have seen a very funny joke. As she spoke, she opened the incense burner with great interest, pinched a pinch of incense and played with it.
Seeing him like this, Concubine Hui immediately sneered and said, "What a miracle doctor Wen. After so many years in the palace, this is the first time I have seen the Yama Spider, and the first time I have heard of the Soul-Educing Incense. These are all what you said. How does I know if you are with the murderer and are here to frame me!"
Wen Ruyu glanced at her sideways and slowly uttered four words, "You are not worthy yet."
Not worthy of what? Naturally, he is not worthy of his efforts to frame her.
With just four words, Concubine Hui's face suddenly turned red. She pointed her slender fingertips at Wen Ruyu tremblingly, then nodded and hummed, "Okay, okay! That's it!" Come on, this is a trap for me, I will definitely be wronged today, right?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was surprised to see a man who had never spoken a word wink at her.
Concubine Hui is such a shrewd person. She was stunned at first, and then her teeth itched with hatred. Because the person who winked at her was none other than her own son, Xiao Junyi!
If it had been anyone else, Concubine Hui would have decided to tell right from wrong today, but this matter actually involved her son. Concubine Hui immediately knew that this matter could not be investigated further.
Bilan was still crying and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I really didn't do anything!"
Concubine Hui suddenly made a gesture as if she was about to faint. Seeing this, the maid Su Qian beside her was so busy that she supported her and asked with concern, "Mother, are you okay?"
Emperor Jing also looked over with some worry and ordered, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help Concubine Hui to sit down!"
Several palace servants hurriedly helped Concubine Hui over. Su Qian's eyes flickered for a while, then she suddenly turned around and knelt in the main hall, saying, "Go back to the emperor, I have something to say!"
Seeing this, Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, then said with a cold face, "Say."
Su Qian gritted her teeth and said, "Back to the emperor, today's incident was actually done by this slave. I was scolded by Concubine Ye before, so I have been holding a grudge. I just planned everything today in order to blame Ye Guifei." Noble Concubine. It’s a pity that this slave has caused trouble for his master. I blame myself and hereby apologize. These things are all my fault. I beg the Emperor to punish me!"
What she said was reasonable, but it was a pity that no one present was a fool. Xiao Xinning even asked on the spot, "What a loyal girl to protect the Lord. It's a pity that you are taking the blame for others, and you are doing it for nothing." Is it worth taking a life?"
Su Qian reacted very quickly and said, "I only know that if my master is implicated because of my own fault, my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life. I beg the emperor to punish me!"
Concubine Hui "happened" to wake up at this time. After hearing these words, she weakly pointed at Su Qian and said, "How could you do such a thing? I'm so disappointed!"
Su Qian did not refute at all, but kowtowed to Concubine Hui and said, "Master, I'm sorry for you."
Emperor Jing immediately said angrily, "Humph, what a bold slave, drag him out and beat him a hundred times with a cane!"
The battle was extremely heavy, and fifty was enough to kill a strong man, let alone a hundred that could hit a weak woman. But no one present dared to plead for mercy. They only looked trembling, kneeling or standing.
After Su Qian was dragged out, Emperor Jing took another deep breath and said, "It is not good for Concubine Hui to supervise the people in the palace. She will be banned for one month without any edict."
After saying that, Emperor Jing no longer looked at the people in the hall, fluttered his sleeves and walked out of the main hall.
For a moment, only the shrill voice of the chamberlain resounded through the hall, "Your Majesty, take off—"
It wasn't until Emperor Jing left that Xiao Xinning said with a half-smile, "Concubine Hui is really good at it." After saying that, she snorted again, and then she helped Concubine Ye with a gloomy face out of the palace.
Concubine Hui unexpectedly did not reply back this time. Only after the two left, she raised her eyes and asked with burning eyes, "Doctor Wen, I would like to ask, who do you belong to?"
Wen Ruyu looked back and smiled, a smile that captivated everyone, "What does it have to do with you?"
As soon as these four words were spoken, his people had already left the palace gate.
Only Concubine Hui was left, who was suddenly furious.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the glass lamp shattered to the ground. Concubine Hui stared at the door hatefully, then glanced at Xiao Junyi, gritted her teeth and said, "Yier, come to my room! "
It was the first time that Xiao Junyi saw his mother-in-law losing such a temper. He did not dare to delay at that moment. He shuddered and followed Concubine Hui's steps into the inner hall.
As soon as they entered the palace, they saw Concubine Hui slap her in the face, "I want to ask you, do you know your mistake?"
A slap mark immediately appeared on Xiao Junyi's face. He did not dare to dodge, and only said, "Mother, I know you are wrong!"
"Huh, you know you're wrong? If you knew you were wrong, would you still do this? I ask you, why didn't you discuss it with me? What on earth is going on!"
Seeing Concubine Hui's question, Xiao Junyi did not hide anything. He knelt down and said, "After returning to my mother, I was humiliated by Xie Ruyue today. I couldn't hold my breath. It just so happened that a counselor had such an object in his hand. Only then could I I came up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to avenge my mother, but also to get rid of those annoying people like Concubine Ye Guifei. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? If not for that Divine Doctor Wen interfering in the middle, what happened today would have happened!"
Concubine Hui was very angry, but after beating Xiao Junyi, she felt distressed and panicked. She stroked his face and said, "Reckless! Do you know what will happen if you don't succeed in what you did today? Fortunately, Su Qian is smart This girl, if it had been someone else, the consequences today would be unimaginable!"
As she said that, she took a breath again and said, "Son, the Queen Mother is counting on you. Although she got rid of the Concubine Xian today, she still has a son. You must not be careless. How can you be so reckless?"
Xiao Junyi nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will never dare to do this again."
Concubine Hui saw that he really heard what he said and said immediately, "That's good. You have to remember that your current enemy is Xiao Junhan. Only by getting rid of him can you hold the throne in your hands. As for the other things Hateful person, after you get to Dabao, whoever you want to deal with to vent your anger is just a matter of words, isn't it?"
The slap marks on Xiao Junyi's face were indeed a bit obvious. Concubine Hui touched his face distressedly and said, "If you can really change from now on, it will not be a loss to lose Su Qian today. But, that Divine Doctor Wen is really I hate it, I have recorded what happened today, and I will definitely avenge you someday!"
When Xiao Junyi thought of this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Mother, we have to guard against this person. Not to mention anything else, he can cure the third brother in such a dangerous situation today. If one day he completely eliminates the third brother, Brother’s poison, then…”
Although he didn't finish his words, he succeeded in making Concubine Hui narrow her eyes.
That's right, the reason why she doesn't treat Concubine Ye as an enemy now is because the latter only has an adopted sick man in her name! If one day that sick man can be active like a normal person, and Emperor Jing's attention is given to him, then it's not certain who has the final say in this country!
"You are right. It seems that we must get rid of this Divine Doctor Wen as soon as possible!"
Concubine Hui figured out the connection and immediately made up her mind to remove Wen Ruyu no matter what.
It's just that the mother and son never expected that just because of this one thought, they would be completely ruined!
