Xia Hourui: "..."
He didn't answer, and Lou Qingwu didn't mind, she just rubbed her wrist slowly, with a soft voice, ethereal: "... when the empress was found out to be the person behind the scenes."
"Huh?!" Xia Hou Rui was attracted by her voice at first and didn't hear clearly, but when he reacted, his face suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
What does it mean that the queen mother is the person behind the scenes
Immediately thinking of something, Xia Hourui's face changed drastically! Frowning, she looked at the worried queen who was not far away. She seemed to be unaware of the frame-up she might face next, her eyes were virtuous, but after what happened not long ago, no one would believe that she was really worried about Concubine Ying . A few months ago, Concubine Ying, relying on the child in her womb, provoked and ridiculed her mother. He happened to be in Kunning Palace at that time, so... But I didn't expect that Concubine Ying looked innocent on the surface, but in fact she was cruel and merciless. He fell to the ground and almost had a miscarriage, but framed him and his mother instead.
Although the father believed him in the end, it also left a stain in his heart. If this time... I am afraid that the mother will be doomed. What's more, thinking of the disappointment on his body, and thinking of everything, the coldness in his eyes almost freezes people to death. Who on earth has designed all of this from a few months ago, first planting a lead step by step, just waiting for this incident to detonate everything, and let them fall into a situation where they can never recover.
This time... he was careless.
Lou Qingwu casually glanced at the emotion in his eyes, knowing that he had already understood the ins and outs, so she calmly took out a medicine bottle with green glaze on a white background from her bosom, opened the lid, and immediately a scent of plum scented her nose When it hit, Lou Qingwu poured out one and handed it to Xia Hourui.
Xia Hourui was stunned, "What is this?"
"If you don't want them to succeed, then eat it."
"..." Xia Hourui took a deep look at her, but ate it without asking anything.
Lou Qingwu frowned: "Aren't you afraid that it's highly poisonous?"
Xia Hourui shook his head and looked at her, his eyes were so deep that he could hardly see the bottom. He doesn't believe that she will harm him. This kind of belief is a kind of intuition. Even he himself can't explain why, and he doesn't know the reason, but he just wants to believe her.
"Oh?" Lou Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly, but didn't say anything else, she just moved her ears, knowing that the time is almost here, and the person who should come is probably coming, so she took a few steps back, and there was no gap between Xia Hourui and Xia Hourui. Not far apart. At the same time, the commander of the imperial guards sent to investigate ran back, followed by a nun in a hurry, seeing Emperor Zong, several of them knelt on the ground with panicked expressions.
"What did you find?" Emperor Zong's face was stern, as if as long as the commander of the imperial guards said a name, he would immediately pull him out and chop him up.
The commander of the Imperial Guard stared at the ground uneasily, even if he didn't raise his head, he could still feel the threatening sight from above, "Subordinate, this subordinate has found something."
"What is it?"
"... the cloth used to sew witchcraft dolls is snow silk."
"Snow silk?" Hearing this name, the face of the calm queen at the side changed completely, and she couldn't help but growl: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" How could it be snow silk
"What do you mean?" Emperor Zong took a deep look at the queen, his eyes became dangerous and cold.
The commander of the imperial guards tightened his hands on the ground, and a cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He also thought this incident was very strange. After all, this witchcraft incident was so easy to investigate, and he found it a little inconceivable that it was so easy to investigate. But he is only loyal to the emperor. His current task is to find out who is behind the witchcraft. Other things are not under his control for the time being. It is the business of those people in Dali Temple. "Report to the emperor, in the harem, only Kunning Palace has snow silk."
"Empress!" Hearing the words "Kunning Palace", Emperor Zong's face was gloomy and frightening, he turned around abruptly, staring at the empress with sharp eyes, "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
"Your Majesty, you have to trust the concubine, the concubine is wronged! The concubine has no intention of harming Concubine Ying!" The queen knelt on the ground with a pale face, not knowing who was going to harm her! Since Concubine Ying framed her last time, in order not to implicate her own emperor, she had already avoided coming to Liuhua Palace very often. How could she harm Concubine Ying at this juncture? What's more, as long as something happens to Concubine Ying, she and Second Huang'er may be the first to be suspected. How could she be so stupid
"No?! Do you still dare to say no? Last time Yinger said that you were going to harm her, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless! That's my own flesh and blood! Come and see! Come and see my Emperor, it died as soon as it was born, it died!" Pulling the queen up from the ground suddenly, Emperor Zong wished to tear the queen's body to pieces right now, he had been with a poisonous woman day and night for so many years, his Ying Er...
"Father!" Xia Hourui and Xiahou Liuyun also knelt on the ground immediately. Xiahou Rui was still mentally prepared because of Lou Qingwu's reminder, Xiahou Liuyun's expression changed drastically, "Father, it is impossible for the queen to do such a thing. matter! I still hope that the emperor will investigate it in detail!"
"What else is there to investigate? The last time Yinger had an accident, you also said that it had nothing to do with her. I believed her, but now? Now that Yinger is dead, my Yinger is gone! Mother Cui, tell me They, is this snow silk?" Emperor Zong glanced sharply at Cui Madam, who was behind the commander of the imperial guards, who was in charge of the room, and the latter nodded repeatedly with a trembling body: "Yes, yes! This is indeed snow silk, because it is a tribute Some of the sacred items were sent to Yong'an Palace and Kunning Palace, and the Empress Dowager regretted that the younger generation did not keep them, so they were only sent to Kunning Palace."
"Empress, what else do you have to say!" Emperor Zong roared, and the surroundings fell into dead silence for an instant, and everyone knelt down silently.
"Father, please think twice, the matter has not been investigated clearly, and you must not make a judgment based on it!" Xiahou Liuyun was impatient. No matter how mischievous he was on weekdays, he was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. When encountering such a thing, he was already in chaos Proper, flustered and restless, he didn't know what to do. There was only one thought in his mind, his mother would never do such a thing, the mother must have been framed!
But Xia Hourui next to him was silent for some reason, but upon closer inspection, he could find that his face was frighteningly white. When he knelt down just now, he felt his brain suddenly "exploded" The pain was so painful that he wanted to go crazy and scream, as if he wanted to smash everything around him violently. He gasped heavily, clenched his hands on the ground tightly...
