Chapter 316 It was you who framed the little princess
"No servant!" A slap fell, and Lan Ruo was thrown to the ground. She was not a submissive character, so she got up immediately and said loudly: "The servant did not frame the little princess! It was you who framed the little princess! It was you !"

"Bitch! How dare you speak harshly at this time!" Concubine Pei raised her foot and was about to kick it again.

"Imperial concubine!" The silent emperor suddenly gave an order, and the concubine's outstretched foot could no longer be retracted, and she still kicked Lan Ruo's chest.

Cao De who was standing on the side hurriedly stopped him, squeezed out a smile, and persuaded in a low voice: "Imperial concubine, before the emperor, don't startle your majesty's dragon body."

The imperial concubine then retracted her foot resentfully.

The queen mother said coolly again: "Is this startling Your Majesty's dragon body?" She stared at Cao De, "What happened to Nan Xing, the emperor didn't startle the dragon body, the imperial concubine just kicked the maid. With one kick, the emperor was frightened?"

Cao De hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother was joking, it was because the servant girl said something wrong in a moment of impatience."

The Empress Dowager smiled and turned to look at the emperor: "If you want to look at the family, it's better to pull out the stick and kill it, so as not to disturb your tranquility."

"This..." The emperor looked embarrassed, but he couldn't refute the queen mother's words, so he asked, "Lan Ruo, what else can you say?"

"Your Majesty..." Lan Ruo shook her body, and her voice was immediately covered with fear.

The emperor's question is obviously tantamount to condemning Lan Ruo to death.

It's just that Lan Ruo pleaded guilty, how will Concubine Shu deal with it?And what about the princess who helped the evildoers?

Everyone was excited and curious, and their eyes were thrown like flying knives, shuttling back and forth between Zhao Xiwei and Lan Ruo.

"Crown princess, this is your witness?" The queen mother gave Zhao Xi a sideways glance, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her brows raised, with a certainty that victory was in sight, "Do you know the fate of deceiving the emperor?"

"If you deceive the king, I would like to die." Zhao Xiwei smiled calmly: "Lan Ruo, tell your majesty what you know, no matter what the consequences are, I will take care of them for you!"

The tone was very flat, but the momentum shocked everyone in the hall.

The emperor pressed his hands on the armrests, sat up straight, and re-examined the woman in front of him.

On the outside there is a calm posture, on the inside there is the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists, but he really underestimated Zhao Ziyi's daughter...

Lan Ruo was also stunned. She raised her head and met Zhao Xiwei's eyes. Her frightened heart suddenly calmed down.

"The imperial concubine is right, it is true that the servants remember the hatred of the imperial concubine, and the servants also know how to poison, but—"

She stabilized her mind, looked directly at the imperial concubine, and said: "But the object that this servant wants to poison is not the princess, but you, the imperial concubine!"

It was as if a thunderbolt struck in the air, and everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"What?" Concubine Pei Gui was stimulated by the successive shocks, "You want to poison me to death?"

"I don't dare!" Lan Ruo hurriedly kowtowed again, "The poison will only make people suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, and it will only make people uncomfortable for a few days, and it won't kill people!"

"Spitting up and diarrhea?" The emperor frowned, "Tell me everything you know!"

Lan Ruo responded, and finally, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, she confessed: "My servant's parents are gardeners, and my servant has learned a lot about flowers since she was a child. That day, I was scolded and humiliated by the imperial concubine for no reason, and my servant was very angry. However, relying on my little cleverness, I wanted to find an opportunity to make the imperial concubine suffer a little..."

"It just happened that those pots of daffodils were destroyed, so the servants made the flowers and leaves into juice, mixed them with flowers and dried them, and made them into flower cakes, and there was no abnormality at all..."

"There were no clues at first, because the duty of the servants is to take care of the flowers and plants, and Concubine Shu is a tolerant and gentle master, and she never cared much about what the servants do in private."

"Unexpectedly, on the day of the prince and princess's wedding, we were all busy in the outer hall. Princess Yaoguang accidentally ate the flower cake I hid in the kitchen, which made the princess vomit. Fortunately, she only took one bite. So the consequences are not too serious. I hurriedly fed the princess some tea, and told her not to let Concubine Shu know that the princess likes my cakes. I was afraid that Concubine Shu would scold me if she found out, so I promised to help me hide it together. ..."

Lan Ruo kowtowed deeply, "Your Majesty, this is the reason why Princess Yaoguang fell ill on the first day of the Crown Princess' wedding. The princess is wronged!"

The princess vomited, but the truth behind it turned out to be so twists and turns.

If someone had a bad temper, he would have already exploded.

But the emperor has always been docile, so after listening to this quietly, he breathed a sigh of relief: "So, what Ling Tailang and Taoist Xuanshan said is really a rumor!"

The Empress Dowager always disliked the emperor, so she sneered and said sarcastically, "The emperor should not be too happy, Princess Nanxing has not woken up yet! Is the poison serious or not, how can she just say it?"

The emperor's expression immediately sank again: "Then what happened to Princess Nanxing?"

Lan Ruo continued: "After Princess Yaoguang ate the flower cake by mistake, the slaves were so frightened that they didn't dare to move for a long time. Until a while ago, because the marriage between the Pei family and the Zhao family was what the concubine said earlier... Imperial concubine, do you remember that when your elder sister came into the palace and cried to you, you knew the contradiction behind this marriage... You were very angry when you heard it, and in order to support your elder sister, you deliberately ran to our Pearl Palace. Jingdian came and made a lot of trouble with our concubine Shu, you should admit it, right?"

The emperor frowned: "Concubine, is this true?"

"Yes, I was so angry that I scolded Concubine Shu." Concubine Pei gritted her teeth with hatred when she mentioned this, and admitted without hesitation, "Why, shouldn't she be scolded? Her brother did something wrong, and I If you can't scold her brother, can you scold her?"

The emperor felt a little speechless for a while after being refuted by her so confidently, so he turned to Lan Ruo again: "The combination of the two things makes you hate the imperial concubine?"

"Yes..." Lan Ruo lowered her eyelashes, "At that time, my servant couldn't bear to see Concubine Shu being wronged. At that time, Concubine Shu ordered my servant to make a plate of fresh cakes and send them to the concubine's palace in order to appease the concubine... The servant conveniently Sprinkled special pollen in the pastry... I just wanted to make the imperial concubine suffer a little bit, but for some reason, the imperial concubine didn't show any signs of vomiting afterwards..."

"It's so funny!" Concubine Pei interrupted Lan Ruo, "That plate of pastries was thrown away as soon as you left the palace. You didn't eat a bite. How could you vomit? Besides, the poison that neither the Imperial Medical Office nor the Tingwei Supervisor could find out, Could it be that this palace has opened the eyes of the sky and can see the scene of your poisoning?"

"No!" Lan Ruo shook her head firmly, "It's not that you didn't eat it, you just saw through the servant girl's trick and didn't eat it on purpose! As for how you saw it through, it's up to Sister Yue to testify!"

"Qingyue?" The Empress Dowager and the noble concubine frowned.

Concubine Pei blurted out: "Qingyue is someone close to the Empress Dowager, how could she testify for you?"
