The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 456 Bloody Birthday Feast (11)
Zhou Quan's opening made He Shuyi, who had been restless all this time, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and leaned on the back of the chair like a collapse, her face was sallow, and the back of her clothes was sweating.

Zhihua's expression finally relaxed, but just when she thought that the matter could finally be concealed, Concubine Ning suddenly asked again: "Where are Feng Wanrong's shoes that you changed, where did you put them?"

As soon as she asked, the expressions of He Shuyi and Zhihua became stiff again.

Zhou Quan hurriedly kowtowed and said: "If you go back to your mother, the servant threw it into a dry well in the imperial garden."

Concubine Ning looked at the queen, and the queen ordered: "Someone take him to look for it."

When the matter came to this point, Qingchen was no longer suspected, Xiao Jun ordered: "Since the matter has nothing to do with you, then you should get up first."

"My concubine obeys, thank you, Your Majesty." Qing Chen tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but his legs were already numb and he felt numb, so he leaned over and fell down again.

Today, Yun Lan didn't follow after suffering from a bit of wind and cold, so she only let Jin Xiu accompany her. Everyone fell down.

The empress was about to order someone to help the two of them up, when she saw that the emperor had already got up and stepped down the steps to hug her up, and asked: "How is it, do you need the imperial doctor Xuan?"

Qingchen managed to squeeze out a smile, which was uglier than crying, "The concubine is fine, just let someone rub her and she'll be fine."

In front of everyone, he couldn't do it himself, so he just held her calf and asked, "Are you feeling it? Did it hurt just now?"

Qingchen shook his head, "No, I still can't feel anything. Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will be fine later."

Xiao Jun turned around and told Qing Yin, "Come here, give her a good massage."

Qing Yin hurriedly responded, "Yes."

"The concubine doesn't dare to bother aunt, just let the little maid come." Qing Yin's age is about the same as Yun Lan, she is the maid in charge of the emperor, even the queen is polite to her, such a small matter, clear Chen didn't want to bother her.

Qing Yin smiled gently and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this, the reason why the Emperor asked the servants to serve the Majesty is because the servants know some massage techniques, the Majesty has been kneeling for so long, if she doesn't give a good massage, her legs may hurt at night. "

"Then there will be Aunt Lao." In the early morning, seeing that she was not from Canada and had a gentle temper, she felt relieved to lift up her skirt.

Qing Yintian smiled softly, "I don't dare."

Over there, Xue Wanrong saw that the matter had reached a point of no return, so she knelt on the ground and begged in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time, I will never dare again. I was just confused for a while, so I will not let you go." If you feel jealous, it is all the fault of the concubine, so the emperor will give the concubine a chance to repent, right?"

Xiao Jun's eyes fell on Feng Wanrong's blood-stained dancing shoes again, even if she wanted to forgive her, it was really unforgivable.The empress probably had the same thoughts, and the disgust in her eyes became more and more serious, so she just said in a manner: "Your majesty, for Xue Wanrong's sake of serving the emperor, since she already knew she was wrong, please let me know." The emperor will take it lightly?"

Before the emperor opened his mouth, Shu Guiyi got up and said: "The empress's words are wrong. If such a vicious person is not punished severely, if someone in the harem follows suit, what will the empress do? Besides, how can such a person deserve to be served?" Your Majesty? According to my concubine's wishes, Xue Wanrong's death penalty is inevitable, and she should be severely punished to warn people's hearts, otherwise she may not be able to convince the public."

The queen did not confront Shu Guiyi. How this kind of thing happens depends on the emperor's will. As a queen, she just needs to show a tolerant side. Give the emperor a step down. If he insists on severely punishing her , she will not defy the holy will for this.

Xiao Jun said in a cold voice: "Xue Wanrong's women's morals are bad, she hurt her concubines, she is narrow-minded and vicious, she was demoted to a common man, and sent to the Huanyi Bureau as slaves, and Yun Xin was sent to the Huanyi Bureau together. .”

"Your Majesty, please forgive my concubine this time, my concubine knows her mistake..."

Xue Wanrong was dragged down, and the shrill cries echoed in the hall, and soon there was no movement.Shu Guiyi sneered, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of stern complacency, so she was doing Feng Wanrong justice.

When Zhouquan was brought back, the little father-in-law was holding a pair of muddy embroidered shoes in his hands. The queen asked Caixuan, "Look, these are Feng Wanrong's dancing shoes?"

Caixuan took it over and took a closer look, her expression suddenly changed, "Empress, these shoes do not belong to my young master, and empress, look, there are two embroidery needles hidden in these shoes."

Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but Caixuan's words caused an uproar in the palace, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Xiao Jun who was sitting in the seat immediately became angry. I don't know how many people got involved in today's incident. Shu Guiyi's birthday was really wonderful!
The queen hurriedly ordered: "Submit it."

Caixuan hurriedly showed the pair of shoes to the queen, "Your Majesty, look, there are two large embroidery needles pinned to the inside of these two shoes, and although the color of these shoes is the same as my mistress's shoes , but judging from the embroidery work, it doesn't seem to be a thing in the palace."

The queen asked Zhou Quan sternly, "Are you sure that Feng Wanrong's shoes you replaced are these ones?"

Zhou Quan hurriedly said: "I dare not lie, this is the pair I took away."

The queen frowned and asked again: "Then what happened to the needle in the shoe?"

Zhou Quan was very flustered at the time, where did he notice this? It was at this time that Cai Xuan found out that he knew there was something hidden in the shoe.

"Empress, this servant really doesn't know why there are embroidery needles in these shoes. I threw away the shoes, why bother inserting two more needles?"

The empress only now realizes how difficult this matter is, and how much effort will it take to search for things from outside the palace?

"Did anyone find anything wrong with these shoes on the way you came here?"

The two little father-in-laws behind Zhou Quanquan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the empress, the servant really doesn't know what's going on. When the shoes are salvaged, the servant just keeps bringing them back. Everyone is watching. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the servant will not Don’t dare to do anything in it, and it’s not good for the slaves to do so.”

The queen stroked her forehead, she seemed to have a headache, suddenly remembered what Qingchen said, and turned to her and asked: "Concubine Rong, you said before that you once saw a court lady enter the side hall, this matter is not trivial, It is a very important clue, if you think about it carefully, do you still remember the appearance of that maid?"
