Chapter 171 Falling into the Trap (6)

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A little maid shouted while running.

Empress De Fei was sipping tea leisurely, she glanced at her sideways without raising her head, and said in a calm voice: "How is it? Is the person dead?" The words couldn't be more natural, as if they were asking who The kittens and puppies at home are very similar recently.

The little maid fell to her knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Go back to your mother, you have been saved!"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine De finally raised her head, threw the cup in her hand on the table with a thud, and said with a chill in her voice, "What? What happened?"

"It's the empress dowager. The empress dowager ordered someone to take her to the Palace of Compassion and Peace!" said the little maid, "You don't know! At that time, the knives were all dropped, and they were directly tied to the neck. Try again That head was turned, and it was still stopped."

"Queen Mother? Why would the Queen Mother care about this?" Yan Ruyu, who was also drinking a big tea, asked anxiously, obviously losing her composure.

The little palace maid took a look at Concubine De and saw that she was also looking at her, so she said tentatively: "From my servant's inquiries, it seems that the Eighth Prince is begging for the Empress Dowager!"

"Him? Why does he care about this?" Concubine De was slightly taken aback, her eyes immediately became hazy, as if she was thinking about something.

At this moment, another little palace maid came in, Yingying knelt down and said: "My Lady, Empress Dowager, please come over!"

Concubine De nodded lightly, then turned to Yan Ruyu and said, "You go back first! I'll go and have a look!"

Yan Ruyu was already frightened, and said in a panic: "Sister, nothing will go wrong!"

Concubine De just smiled calmly, and said: "Calm down, with Ben Gong here, nothing can go wrong!"

Yan Ruyu looked at her calm look, and then she relaxed slightly in her heart, that is, Concubine De will support the sky falling, what are you afraid of?
Concubine De looked at her and showed an inexplicable smile at herself, and she also showed an inscrutable smile at her, the two looked at each other and smiled, Concubine De then turned and left.

When going out, I saw a little court lady nodding at Concubine De from a distance, and the smile on Concubine De's face immediately deepened, the smile actually reached deep into her eyes, she seemed to be smiling from the bottom of her heart.

Ye Rui knelt quietly in the hall, peeking at the old man who was sitting crookedly on the couch in front of the hall.

Speaking of which, the empress dowager didn't look old, she looked about [-] years old at most, she seemed to be a few years younger than her own mother, but that noble aura was not something that ordinary people can have.

I saw that the Queen Mother was just lazily lying on the soft couch, her appearance couldn't be more kind, and even her eyebrows and eyes could be described as exquisite.

But her eyes are so shrewd, and she exudes a majestic demeanor that makes people dare not make any mistakes, especially when she is talking to Concubine De, Ye Rui can feel that Concubine De is afraid of her of.

"The emperor was poisoned suddenly, Concubine De dealt with it properly, the Ai family called you here, there is nothing else, I just feel that there is something strange about this matter!" The empress dowager said unhurriedly.

Her rhetoric, which was raised first and then lowered, was peaceful, but Concubine De still kowtowed in fear: "The concubine deserves to die, I hope the empress will punish her!"

"There is nothing to punish, you are still young after all!" The queen mother just smiled faintly, "The Ai family has already been reported, you think this is what this woman did, don't you?"

Concubine De turned her head to look at Ye Rui, and saw her kneeling there with a submissive look, "It's just that all the evidence points to this woman, and the concubine made a judgment!" Concubine De still couldn't help but defend herself.
