The concubine is so charming

Chapter 217
The head of the Department of Internal Affairs tremblingly walked up to the hall holding the account book of the imperial gift, and read out the list of this year's imperial cloth according to the emperor's instructions: "Report to the emperor, whoever received the cloth from you Not many, one batch was sent to the Empress Dowager's palace, and the other batch was divided among the concubine Zhen, the concubine Qi and nobleman Lan."

Ever since she heard the birth date of Concubine Zhen on the back of the last purple doll, the Empress Dowager's complexion has been as deep as water, and now she hears the head of the Department of Internal Affairs read out the list of imperial cloths, and her heart sank even more. His sharp gaze fell directly on Concubine Zhen, wishing to pierce her heart directly through her flesh and see how dark it was!
This vicious scheme was clearly aimed at her!
Concubine Qi and Lan Guiren who were named quickly stood up hand in hand: "Reporting to the emperor, Sister Lan and I did get two bolts of cloth, but because it was a gift from the emperor, it was extraordinarily precious, so we didn't dare to make it beforehand." Clothes." Qi Concubine who spoke was secretly relieved, luckily they didn't touch the two pieces of cloth, otherwise this matter would be a catastrophe.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. If that was the case, then the empress dowager and concubine Zhen were most suspected.

Concubine Zhen bit her lips tightly, and soon there were bloody tooth marks on her lips. She slowly turned her head to look at the Queen Mother, with a sad expression as if she had suffered a great blow: "The Queen Mother, since the concubine entered the palace, Since then, you have been dissatisfied with me in every possible way. I thought that after so many years, no matter how big the hatred is, it should be resolved, but I never expected that you still hate my concubine so much!"

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly darkened: "Concubine Zhen, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Concubine Zhen turned her head to face the emperor, took two steps forward on her knees, kowtowed heavily, and cried out: "Your Majesty, the fabrics in the concubine's warehouse have also not been touched, so where do the clothes and fabrics on these dolls come from? Know……"

"Concubine Zhen, are you implying that Ai used this technique of disgusting victory to harm you?"

"The concubine dare not imply anyone, but I just hope that the emperor will find out the truth and give justice to the concubine's child! Queen Mother, the child just lost in the concubine's womb is also your grandson. Don't you feel sad and don't want to find out the truth? , let the child rest in peace in the spirit of heaven?"

"The Ai family naturally hopes to find out the truth, but what is found out must be the truth!" The Queen Mother turned her head, "Your Majesty, the Ai family has not been in the harem these days. It is even more impossible to know, besides, the Ai family has always hoped that the emperor will have an heir of his own, so why would they attack each other?"

"Empress Dowager, as long as you find out the source of the cloth, you can be cleared. I wonder if the Empress Dowager is willing to take out the cloth and let the emperor have a look?"

"Of course you can, Nanny Qi, you take someone to Aijia's palace to fetch the fabrics sent by the emperor. The colors of those fabrics are too bright, and Aijia hasn't touched them."

"Yes."

"Wait!" Concubine Zhen said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, to show fairness, you should send someone to go with Nanny Qi to fetch the fabric. At this time, the concubine only trusts you. As for the others, who knows?" Do they have other ideas?"

When the queen mother heard this, she almost fell down in anger.

The emperor nodded: "Alright, Commander of the Imperial Guard, you take someone to fetch it yourself."

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager frowned, although she was sure that he had never touched those fabrics, but Concubine Zhen's attitude was too firm, which made her feel uneasy for a while.

Sure enough, not long after, the commander of the imperial guard walked in quickly, and Madam Qi beside her was pale, and she knelt down with a plop as soon as she entered the entrance of the main hall.

The Empress Dowager stood up abruptly, and looked at the cloth held by the imperial guards: "This is..."

There were clearly traces of cutting on those fabrics, but she hadn't been touched at all!This is impossible!

"Your Majesty, since these fabrics were delivered to Ci'an Palace, Aijia ordered someone to keep them in the warehouse, and they have never been touched again."

Concubine Zhen sneered: "The Empress Dowager said that it has not been touched, so how do you explain the cut fabrics? Is it possible that someone could enter the Empress Dowager's warehouse and deliberately use this method to frame you?"

"It must be so!"

"The empress dowager's words are too ridiculous. Not to mention that there are guards in Ci'an Palace, and there are palace people on duty day and night. Just talking about the key to the warehouse, I am afraid that only the empress dowager and your confidant Nanny Qi can get in touch with it. Besides, who has the ability to open the warehouse? Your Majesty, this concubine is heartbroken, the child in this concubine's womb is innocent, it is also your own flesh and blood, you can't see him being so ignorant!"

After Concubine Zhen finished speaking, she fell deeply on the ground and stopped speaking, but her slender body was trembling unceasingly, and the blood-colored skirt spread out, looking more and more pitiful and shocking.

Su Yao couldn't help but blinked, and then pinched Chu Feiyan's palm slightly.

The tingling pain in the palm made Chu Feiyan turn his head sideways, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Su Yao snorted in her heart. For such a long time, she was only focused on talking about love with him, completely forgetting about Concubine Zhen. When the banquet is over, she must ask clearly what is the relationship between him and Concubine Zhen!
Chu Feiyan didn't know why, seeing her swollen look, he couldn't help spreading out his palms, placing her fingers one by one, and then holding them carefully with his palms, and then shaking them gently.

Su Yao was slightly startled, and raised her eyes to meet Chu Feiyan's serious expression, the softest part of her heart was suddenly poked, only making her heart thump and beat non-stop.Beauty misleads people, and the appearance of Chu Xiangye is too foul, it is really unbearable!

In the main hall, the queen mother tried her best to argue, but the evidence was all pointing at her.

The emperor's face was livid, and he looked at the empress dowager with an uncertain expression.In the past, she helped him fight for the throne, so for so many years, he has always given her the honor of the queen mother, and even turned a blind eye when she seized power in the harem, but now her behavior is really trampled on. bottom line.

"Your Majesty, this servant deserves to die. This is what this servant did, and all of this was planned by this servant!" Nanny Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said.

"Nurse Qi?" The queen mother moved her shoulders, and her chest heaved violently twice.

Nanny Qi raised her head and kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother: "It's all the servant's fault, it's the servant who can't bear to see Concubine Zhen committing crimes below her! Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is your aunt, she has such a noble status, but Zhen The concubine, relying on your favor, repeatedly made things difficult for her. This servant really couldn't stand it, so she used this method to curse her! The servant never thought that Concubine Zhen was pregnant, nor did she think of harming the little prince! The servant is guilty, Please punish the emperor!"

Su Yao lowered her eyes slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: This Nanny Qi is so loyal that she directly took the blame for the Queen Mother!
