The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 144 Bringing in Rescue Soldiers and Resolving the Siege Skillfully

Qin Wange instructed her: "Shut the gate of Yuejun Palace, all the palace people go out, no one is ordered not to enter at will!"

"Your servant understands." A Dai didn't ask a word, and led all the palace people out, and the door was closed tightly.

Just now by the Taiyue Pool, Xu Qiushui and Li Xuanyin wanted to start a fight, and they didn't care about the presence of the servants, so they opened their mouths without any scruples about embarrassing the royal family.

Seeing Qin Wange doing this now, Situ Rui felt that Qin Wange was more caring than the two of them.

But thinking of Concubine Lan and Liu Chenyue, Situ Rui was furious.

However, after Qin Wange gave his orders, he patted Situ Rui's hand lightly with his frail and boneless hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I haven't asked the whole story clearly, so don't get angry, and make a decision after asking clearly." Not too late."

After being comforted by Qin Wange, Situ Rui became less angry.But seeing a group of people kneeling below, Situ Rui frowned and said, "What did the queen say just now?"

"Returning to the emperor, the concubine just said that Concubine Lan had a marriage contract with Liu Chenyue, and there is a little maid named Zhu'er beside her who can testify." Xu Qiushui said slowly.

Hearing Xu Qiushui call out this name, everyone turned their eyes to Zhu'er.

Situ Rui's gaze also fell on the little palace maid Zhu'er, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhu'er stammered and said: "Return...to the emperor's words, it is true...it is true that the empress and Lord Liu have been friends since childhood, and the relationship is very good. Before the empress entered the palace , The two families had a verbal marriage contract. Although the empress entered the palace, she still has a long relationship with Mr. Liu, and she even gave Mrs. Liu an embroidered handkerchief as a gift."

"Nonsense, when will I befriend Master Liu?" Lan Fei's face was pale with anger, almost out of breath.

Zhu'er shrank her neck in fright at Concubine Lan's tone, Li Xuanyin sneered and said, "Sister Lan Concubine, the louder the voice, the innocent, if you haven't done it, how could a court lady say such a thing out of nothing? words?"

Nalan Mingzhu was so angry that she clenched her fists, but she didn't know how to argue.

Li Xuanyin thought that she was about to win a big victory, so she wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. She asked Zhu'er triumphantly, "You said that Concubine Lan once gave Mrs. Liu an embroidered handkerchief, where is the embroidered handkerchief now? What is your mother doing tonight?" Appeared on the edge of Taiyue Pool?"

"Emperor Madam Huiyin's words, it is Madam Liu who invited Master Liu to have a private meeting by the Taiyue Pool tonight. The embroidered handkerchief Madam Madam gave Master Liu has been kept close to her body, so it must still be on Master Liu's body." A'Zhu said.

"It's nonsense, when did the Liu family have a marriage contract with the Nalan family? When did the elder brother get along with Concubine Lan?" But a cold female voice scolded. Only then did Situ Rui realize that Concubine Yun was also following in the corner .

Situ Rui said with some headaches: "You didn't stay in the palace well, why did you get involved?"

But Liu Ruxin said coldly: "If the concubine hadn't just followed Concubine Lan to Yuejun Hall today, then concubine's elder brother and concubine Lan would have been wronged to death by you."

"You mean, you're with Concubine Lan?" Situ Rui asked.

The expression on Liu Ruxin's face was faint, and she said: "Huanyue beside the concubine is friendly with Adai in the imperial concubine's palace. Today Adai made snacks in the palace and gave some to Huanyue. The concubine eats Adai. The camellia cake was just right, very similar to the taste of the concubine's mother, so I thought I would be fine tonight, so I took Huanyue to the imperial concubine's palace to ask about how to make it. The imperial concubine came to eat snacks in the palace, so they went together. Who knew that the concubine found the handkerchief lost in the palace when she walked to the Taiyue pool, so she asked Concubine Lan to wait for the concubine by the Taiyue pool, but she did not expect that Concubine Lan met her brother , and Concubine Yin happened to pass by, saying that Concubine Lan had an ambiguous relationship with her elder brother..."

"So Concubine Lan's appearance in Taiyue Lake was not for a private meeting with Liu Chenyue, but for an appointment with you?" Situ Rui frowned and asked.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Yun would also get involved, he was already shaken, and he didn't believe so much in Li Xuanyin and Xu Qiushui's one-sided words.

But Concubine Yin sneered and said: "Master Liu is Concubine Yun's elder brother, Concubine Yun may be deliberately protecting her."

"It's not just a court lady who follows Concubine Lan, besides Zhu'er, there is also Xinyue. This matter is very important. The emperor definitely doesn't know how to listen to a court lady." Qin Wange said calmly, His eyes fell on Xinyue, "Xinyue, tell me, has your master made an appointment with Concubine Yun?"

Xinyue Qin Wange took a look at this, and immediately reacted, and said cleverly: "Go back to your mother, today it was Miss Adai who said that she had made new dim sum in Yuejun Palace, and asked her to come to Yuejun Palace to taste it. Pearl This gluttonous girl is still urging. We happened to meet Concubine Yun on the road, and we made an appointment together. We also agreed that Empress Yunfei wants to learn flower tea cakes, and my mother wants to learn Yunhua cakes. But I will add empress It really has nothing to do with Mr. Liu, please enlighten the emperor."

Situ Rui looked at the table, Adai was indeed making snacks, and when she came in, she saw that she was holding a large plate of pastries, which didn't seem to be calculated in advance.

Adai was sent in for questioning, she knelt respectfully, and replied: "Returning to the emperor, Concubine Lan always likes the desserts made by slaves, and it is indeed the slaves who asked the maids to send the message to Huixin Palace."

As he spoke, he summoned the palace lady sent by Adai to Huixin Palace to reply. The maid was timid, and she was so frightened that she could not speak for the first time, but it also confirmed Adai's statement.

Situ Rui called the little maid who Adai Yunfei said would send cakes to Concubine Yun. Fortunately, Qin Wange had already prepared, and Situ Rui didn't see any flaws.

Situ Rui pondered for a moment, his face became a little loose, and he frowned and remained silent.

Seeing that the plan fell through, Xu Qiushui quickly added fuel and jealousy: "It's not an option for both sides to argue endlessly. Just now Zhu'er said that Mr. Liu has Concubine Lan's handkerchief on him, so it's better to have the guards search him. If Mr. Liu doesn't have Concubine Lan That veil is innocent, but if something is found on Mr. Liu, it will be useless for Mr. Liu and Concubine Lan to argue."

"The queen's words are too insulting. Our Liu family comes from a hairpin family, a noble family, and our elder brother is a first-rank official in Dali Temple. Just based on Concubine Yin's one-sided words and this maid's false accusation, we are going to search the court official. If it gets out, how will my elder brother gain a foothold in the court in the future, and how will the Liu family gain a foothold in the court?" Liu Ruxin said coldly, her tone was sharp and her eyes were sharp, Xu Qiushui had no choice but to avoid it.

Xu Qiushui frowned, very upset.

Everything today was well planned, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yun would come out halfway and disrupt her overall plan.

However, things have reached this point, and they cannot just stop like this.Otherwise, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?

So, Xu Qiushui said to Situ Rui, who had a wavering expression: "Your Majesty, it is very important for a concubine to meet a foreign minister. It is related to the face of the royal family. The emperor still needs to investigate thoroughly. Although Concubine Yun kept saying that she was with Concubine Lan We came to Yuejun Hall together, but Mr. Liu was supposed to have a banquet in the peony garden, why did he go to Taiyue Pool after all the good things?"

"Yes, Liu Chenyue, Taiyue Pond is already within the scope of the harem, why did you leave the banquet halfway and go there?" Situ Rui was provoked, and immediately questioned Liu Chenyue.

"Chen..." Liu Chenyue hesitated, but didn't know how to answer.

If he couldn't find a reasonable excuse, Situ Rui would definitely be suspicious and send someone to search him, then the handkerchief in his arms would become irrefutable evidence.

But if you don't say anything, it will become a thief who can't deny it.

How can this be good?

But at this time, a servant hurried in. After Li Deshou asked what was going on, he reported to Situ Rui: "Your Majesty, Qu Moyan, the deputy commander of the imperial army, asked to see him, saying that he has something important to do."

"I didn't see that I was busy. I'll talk about it later." Situ Rui said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, since Deputy Commander Qu said that he has something important to do, let's meet up." Qin Wange said softly.

"Okay, tell him to come in." Situ Rui frowned and said, at this time he has no energy and doesn't want to see him, but since there is something urgent, there is nothing he can do if he is upset.

Qu Moyan entered the door, knelt down and saluted: "Chen Qu Moyan sees the emperor." As he spoke, he glanced in Liu Chenyue's direction.

Liu Chenyue looked up at Qu Moyan, who winked at him.

"Forget it, get up, didn't you just say that you have something important to report to me? Say it." Situ Rui said with a headache.

"Returning to the emperor, I just heard that when I was on patrol, Master Liu came here to plead guilty to the emperor because he offended the empress in the palace." Qu Moyan said.

"Apology? What crime are you pleading for?" Situ Rui was confused by the situation in front of him, and his temples ached.

"Returning to the emperor, a few days ago, the minister and Master Liu were ordered to investigate the case of the assassin. When the case was closed, Master Liu found some omissions and wanted to discuss it with the minister. However, the minister was busy with business a few days ago. Mr. Liu couldn't see each other, and the emperor urged Mr. Liu to close the case. It happened that the minister was on duty today. Seeing that Mr. Liu was in a hurry, the minister asked Mr. Liu to meet at the Taiyue Lake, and wanted to hand over some evidence to Liu. My lord." Qu Moyan said.

"Since it was Liu Qing you asked to meet, why didn't he say anything?" Situ Rui asked displeased, obviously still not convinced.

"Returning to the emperor, because I was afraid of trouble and wanted to be lazy, thinking about some evidence, I wanted to take advantage of Mr. Liu's banquet in the palace tonight, and hand it over to Mr. Liu in the palace, so I didn't ask the emperor for an order. It's a violation of the palace rules. Master Liu was afraid of hurting the servant, so he didn't tell the servant." Qu Moyan said, quite remorseful.
