The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 423 Investigate the truth
"Seeing that the emperor has not gone back, my concubine is worried that something will happen to you, so...?" Li Wan said softly.

"Silly girl, what can happen to me, don't worry, the people in Tianmu dare not do anything to us." Dugu Jialuo smiled wryly, took Li Wan's hand and said.

"Well, that's good, the concubine can rest assured."

"Wan'er, just now you saw... I'm actually... Anran is actually mine...?" Dugu Jialuo wanted to explain this matter clearly, after all he didn't want to lie to Li Wan, he wanted to tell Wan'er everything about himself and Ye Anran , but before he finished speaking, Li Wan smiled gently.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy here, let's go in first." Li Wan tried the tears from the corners of her eyes, walked over, and said with a smile.

"Okay." Dugu Jialuo said with a complicated mood.

After the banquet, the emperor arranged a residence for Dugu Jialuo and his wife in Yihua Palace, and then went to Yanran Palace to rest.

The person who has the hardest time falling asleep tonight is probably Chen Xi...

"Say, before dancing in this palace, did any suspicious people go into the Qingwu Palace?" Concubine Chen felt unwilling, and asked the little palace maid who was guarding the clothes.

"Msg Concubine Chen, it's really... not a servant, I don't have any, even if I give my servant ten courage, this servant will not dare to damage your dance clothes." The little palace maid was terrified, kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly .

"I didn't say it was you, I was just asking, have you seen any suspicious people appear? You should think about it, for example... the empress's people, the concubine's people?" Concubine Chen said Guided the little palace lady word by word.

The little maid thought for a while, then suddenly replied: "Your Majesty, this slave has remembered."

"I remembered something, tell me." Chen Xi immediately regained her spirits, and she guessed that someone must have deliberately harmed her.

Of course, the most suspicious person is the queen. Ever since she found out that she is in an alliance with Ye Anran, she has been feeling unhappy with herself, and it is entirely possible to attack herself.

But Concubine Chen is a suspicious person, and she is always on guard against Ye Anran, and she doesn't fully trust her.

Especially today, Ye Anran winked at her frequently, as if she didn't want to perform the dance by herself, maybe it was her fault.

"My maidservant remembered, before the empress danced, Xiaoman from Jiuhua Palace came here, she was sneaky, I don't know what to do." The little maid replied firmly.

"Xiao Man from Jiuhua Palace, have you seen clearly?" Concubine Chen asked with an embarrassed expression.

"Returning to the empress, the servant saw clearly. At that time, the servant asked her what she was doing here. She said that the empress wanted her to see if you were ready. At that time, the servant didn't think it was strange. Now that you remind me, the servant remembered it. .” The little maid seemed to have found a straw to save her life.

"Hmph, it really is that bitch the Queen. Did you see it by yourself, or did someone else see it?" Concubine Chen asked angrily.

"Hui Niangniang, and several others have also seen it, and they can all testify."

"Then it's easy to handle. Go, call everyone who sees Xiaoman to me. Tonight, I'm going to turn her upside down, otherwise the queen really thinks that I, Chen Xi, are easy to bully." Chen Xi slapped the table and was furious. Well, she danced today, and her dance clothes were torn, which made her embarrassing in front of everyone. This time, she will not let the queen go easily.

"Yes, I will go find them now." The little maid got up and left.

Chen Xi's personal maid asked a little worried: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do? This time the Empress really went too far. It is really unforgivable for you to embarrass yourself in front of so many people."

"I will wait for the witnesses to arrive in a while, then I will go to the emperor and ask the emperor to give me justice." Chen Xi said righteously.

"Ah? For a while, but...it's already late at night, and the emperor may have rested in Yan Ran Palace, so it's not appropriate to go now, right?" the little maid comforted.

"Are you pig-headed? Why is it inappropriate? Let me tell you, there is nothing more suitable than now. The emperor will go up to court tomorrow morning, and he will accompany Liuyun's empress after the court. How can I care about me? Strike while the iron is hot." , just tonight, and if it is in Yanran Palace, Ye Anran will definitely help me, and then, to make the Queen look good, hum." It turned out that Chen Xi had already made up her wishful thinking.

late at night
The emperor fell asleep in the Yanran Palace, sleeping soundly, and was awakened by Chen Xi's cries...

Ye Anran woke up first, got up and walked to the emperor's dragon couch, the emperor seemed to have heard it, got up and asked: "What happened outside?"

"The concubine listens...it seems to be the voice of Concubine Chen's sister." Ye Anran said in a low voice.

"Chenxi? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the trouble? Don't you think it's not shameful enough today?" It turns out that the emperor is very concerned about the banquet.

No wonder, after all, Concubine Chen is a noble concubine, and as a noble concubine, her dance clothes were torn when she was dancing, and if so many people looked at her skin, she would definitely offend Longyan.

If Ye Anran hadn't dealt with it in time, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for the emperor to get off the stage...

"I don't know. Your Majesty, please don't move. It's cold outside. Let me go and see what's going on?" Ye Anran put on her white cloak, turned and left the inner hall.

"Sister Concubine Ran, have you come out yet?" Seeing Ye Anran come out, Chen Xi seemed to have seen a savior.

"Sister Chen Concubine, what's wrong in the middle of the night?" Ye Anran yawned and asked deliberately, but she had already guessed in her heart why Chen Xi came here.

"Sister Concubine Ran, you don't know something. I have found out who framed me, so I made a quick decision and decided to come to the emperor with witnesses."

"Oh? I found it, so... I don't know who did it?" Ye Anran asked knowingly.

"Who else is there? Of course it's the bitch the queen. Sister Ran, this time, I will never let her go easily. You should help me call the emperor out. It's not too late. I want to let her go." The queen looks good." Chen Xi seemed to be very anxious, wanting revenge wholeheartedly.

"But... Concubine Chen, the emperor has already fallen asleep, it's so late, why not...let's discuss it tomorrow." Ye Anran smiled meaningfully.

Chen Xi's heart felt cold, it seemed... Ye Anran was going to make things difficult for herself on purpose.

"Sister Concubine Ran, don't forget, we are allies. If you don't help me, who will you help?" Chen Xi reminded Ye Anran with a smile in a low voice.

After hearing this, Ye Anran laughed, and replied in a low voice: "Does my sister know that we are allies? Then why... At the banquet today, I warned you not to dance, but you chose to go against me? Why not?" Am I an ally?"

"The thing didn't happen at that time? My sister, why didn't you let me go? There must be a reason, could it be... My sister, you already knew that there was something wrong with my dance clothes?" Chen Xi was suspicious by nature. Hearing what Ye Anran said, she deliberately questioned.

Ye Anran's complexion changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Sister Chen Concubine, you have to see the timing clearly, haven't you already investigated it? It's not me who framed you, why do you ask such a question, besides, I won't let you Dancing, it was because I saw that the queen and Xiaoman were underestimating something before, and I was afraid that they would make trouble, so I reminded you, but you just didn't listen. Now that something happened, you blame me for coming. If this is the case, then sister please Come back, it's late at night, I'm asleep."

After finishing speaking, Ye Anran turned around and wanted to leave...

"Sister Concubine Ran, please stay." Seeing that Ye Anran was about to leave, Chen Xi became anxious.

"Anything else?" Ye Anran replied coldly.

"Sister Ran, this time, I was wrong. In the future... I will listen to your advice and misunderstand you. Can you please help me call the emperor out? After the emperor entertains Emperor Liuyun tomorrow, he will have no time to pay attention to me." And...you don't want the Queen to get away with it, do you?"

"Well, there is some meaning in that." Ye Anran smiled slightly, she knew that Chen Xi had already begun to give in.

"Then... please ask Sister Ran Concubine to help me, okay? The kindness and virtue will definitely be remembered in my heart." Chen Xi said very sincerely.

"You don't need to get it, sister just needs to be persuaded in the future." After finishing speaking, Ye Anran turned back and entered the inner hall.

"An Ran, when did Chen Xi come here?" Even after Chen Xi made such a fuss, the emperor didn't feel sleepy anymore.

"She...does have something important to see the emperor." Ye Anran now has this ability, a few words from her can decide whether the emperor will see Chen Xi or not.

"What's important?" Obviously, the emperor trusts Ye Anran too much, so Ye Anran needs to pass the word in many times.

"This... Let her tell you in person." Ye Anran hesitated for a moment, and said slowly.

"Alright, then you can ask her to come in." The emperor sighed, maybe, he felt that in the entire harem, except for An Ran, who was the most understanding, other women would only add to his confusion.

As soon as Chen Xi came in, she knelt down and began to cry, even forgetting to ask An to salute.

"Don't cry, just talk slowly, what's going on?" The emperor was quite surprised to see Chen Xi crying like a tearful person.

"Your Majesty, this time you must decide for your concubine. The empress has a vicious heart. She sent the court lady Xiaoman to the Qingwu Hall and ruined the concubine's dance clothes, which led to embarrassing the concubine and embarrassing the concubine in front of such people. I am ashamed, the emperor please give justice to my concubine." Chen Xi burst into tears, speaking vividly.

"Xi'er, you keep saying that the empress did it, but do you have evidence?" The emperor asked with a frown.

"The concubine has witnesses, come, bring them in." Chen Xi seemed to have come prepared.

After a while, several young maids knelt in a row and told what they had seen and heard today. Facts have proved that this incident has something to do with the queen, because several people saw the maid Xiaoman.

After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked Ye Anran: "Anran, how do you think I should deal with this matter?"

"The emperor is a wise king, no matter how he handles it, he will give justice to Concubine Chen, and the concubine will obey the emperor's opinion." At this critical moment, Ye Anran did not add insult to injury and framed the queen.

Very good, because the emperor has been wondering if Chen Xi and Ye Anran have teamed up to deal with the queen. Now it seems that Ye Anran doesn't know about this matter, and doesn't care about the result.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Come on, go to Jiuhua Palace and pass on my oral order to let the queen come here and bring the maid Xiaoman with me. I will ask you today, what's going on? If If someone really deliberately framed Xi'er, then... I will definitely punish him severely."

"Yes." Several guards got up and went to Jiuhua Palace.

Chen Xi was overjoyed, and kowtowed to thank: "My concubine, I would like to thank the emperor for making decisions for my concubine, and returning my concubine's innocence."

"Don't worry, wait for the empress to come later, the confrontation is over, it's not too late to settle everything." The emperor said calmly.

"Sister Chen Concubine, you have been tired all night, come, sit down and rest for a while." Ye Anran smiled slightly, and helped up Concubine Chen who was kneeling on the ground.

The emperor couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Ye Anran, it seems that Ye Anran always takes care of others like this...

When the oral order was passed to Jiuhua Palace, Shen Bilan became dazed, put on her wind robe in a panic, and drove towards Yanran Palace in a car.

"Xiaoman, I have some premonitions. This time, it doesn't seem to be a good thing." Along the way, the empress felt trembling in her heart. This was a feeling she had never had before, and she seemed very insecure.

"Empress, don't worry, you are the queen, even if those two women are powerful, they won't do anything to you." For so many years, Xiaoman seems to be used to being the queen and domineering, and she is not afraid anymore. But, this time, they underestimated Ye Anran and Chen Xi's methods too much.
