Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 290
Shangguan Wenxue quickly took the fruit and put it in front of Shangguan Zilin and said, "Sister, you can eat some of these fresh fruits."

Shangguan Zilin is not in the mood to eat fruit now, she just finds Shangguan Wenxue babbling so annoying, and then pushes Shangguan Wenxue away. The fruit also rolled all over the ground.

Cui Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Shangguan Zilin.

Although Shangguan Zilin caused Shangguan Wen Xue to overturn the plate, she didn't think it was her fault, but said impatiently: "Sister, why didn't you be more careful? You are so stupid, it is difficult to protect yourself, I I dare not live here anymore.”

"It's okay, little sister, I just slipped my hand just now." Shangguan Wen Xue said.

Linghua couldn't help but said: "It was the nobleman who pushed the empress just now, and the empress slipped and broke the glazed plate. It is so unreasonable for the nobleman to accuse our empress again."

"Linghua." Shangguan Wen Xue snorted, "How dare you talk to my sister?"

Linghua's eyes turned red and she lowered her head.

Shangguan Zilin glared at Linghua, and said in a strange way: "I know that my sister is a concubine, and I am a nobleman. I have no right to speak under my sister. I have overstepped it. Please punish my sister."

Said that Shangguan Zilin was about to kneel down, and Shangguan Wenxue was too busy to help her, it was time for Cui Ling to hold Shangguan Wenxue and said: "Your Majesty, be careful to break the glass, and you will hurt your hands and feet carefully." She interrupted , Shangguan Wen Xue failed to help Shangguan Zilin, Shangguan Zilin knelt down on the ground and froze for a moment.

Seeing Shangguan Zilin knelt down, Linghua Lingguo laughed, and it really was a coincidence that Cui Ling's sister made the move.

"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly clean up these debris." Cui Ling winked at the two of them, and Linghua Lingguo hurriedly came to clean up.

Seeing Shangguan Zilin kneeling in front of her, Shangguan Wenxue was a little embarrassed, she stepped forward to help Shangguan Zilin up and said in a gentle voice: "Sister, please rest quickly, I was frightened tonight, we will talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

After Shangguan Zilin knelt down, she felt a little timid in her heart for a moment. She could see that Cui Ling had deliberately stopped her. Cui Ling was the queen's person, someone sent by the queen, and she couldn't provoke her, so she nodded Said: "Then sister also rest early."

Shangguan Wenxue turned back to the main room, and said to Cui Ling, "I've made you worry."

Cui Ling smiled slightly, "Your Majesty's words are too polite."

Shangguan Wenxue sighed, "I know you all think that she is too arrogant, that even if she is my sister, I can't just let her go because of the sisterhood, but you should understand that this harem I don't care about everything, I can do what others want, I don't want to fight, and I don't need to fight."

Cui Ling was a little surprised, "Don't you want to fight for your future? Don't you just settle for the position of a concubine?"

Shangguan Wenxue smiled, picked up a small orange in her hand and slowly pushed it away, "I don't want to fight, no matter how high my status is, when I die, I just want to be buried with a pinch of loess, nothing else, my family just wants to If there is a woman who wants to maintain the status of the Shangguan family in the palace, let Zilin fight if she wants to."

"Your Majesty was not willing to enter the palace at the beginning?" Cui Ling used to be an official and Wen Xue had a good temper, but she did not expect that she would have a temper that would not fight for anything, "Then why do you have to enter? How many people squeezed their heads to think Come in, if you don't want to, someone at home will take your place."

Shangguan Wen Xue sighed lightly, "There are quite a few sisters in the family, but in terms of kinship, Zilin and I are the closest. Of course, this kind of honor should be given to the closest relatives. The elders in the family think that I should enter the palace. , why give me the power to say no."

Cui Ling looked at Shangguan Wen Xue, and felt that this person was in the midst of blessings and didn't know how to be blessed, who would be willing to be a servant if he could be a master.The empress sent her here to help Shangguan Wenxue, but Shangguan Wenxue has such an indisputable temper, no matter what she does, it won't help.

Thinking of this, Cui Ling unconsciously felt sorry for her situation, even being a handyman by the empress's side would have a better future than following such a master, imagining the coldness of Qixia Pavilion, Cui Ling unconsciously shook her head.

"Sister is actually just a little bit arrogant. When she lives here, I hope you will be more tolerant." Shangguan Wenxue never treats Cui Ling as a person. No matter what, Cui Ling belongs to the empress. So she confessed softly again.

Cui Ling was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, empress."

Mo Qingli went to Qixia Pavilion and came back. The fire in Wencui Palace was almost extinguished, and the outer courtyard walls and doors were still intact, but the carved beams and painted buildings inside have now turned black. It's a lot of money.

And the time is very tight, it must be repaired before the state banquet starts, otherwise it will really become a laughing stock to keep this place in the palace.

"Come in, it's cold outside." Jun Shecang said hastily when he saw Mo Qingli come back.

Mo Qingli came in and sat next to him and said, "I went to have a look, and the nobleman Shangguan is in good spirits, but this time the fire started for no reason, so we should quickly find out whether someone deliberately murdered him or not. Accidental fire."

Yun Yixue, who was drinking tea leisurely at the side, sipped at Chun slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty came back just in time, everyone has already been brought, just wait for Your Majesty to come over, let's ask together."

Mo Qingli looked up at Jun Shecang, not knowing what it meant.

"Yun'er said that today's fire should be investigated quickly, so he detained everyone who was on duty in Wencui Palace tonight, and said that the fire started from the side hall." Jun Xicang said.

Mo Qingli rubbed her temples and said, "It's late at night now, and the concubines are a little tired, so let's put it in custody and hand it over to the inner court for trial tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, the inner court review takes too long, and this kind of thing happened near the end of the year, so we'd better settle it as soon as possible." Yun Yixue frowned and said, "After all, such a thing happening at this time, the omen is not very good."

Jun Shecang nodded, "Indeed."

In March, the Sixth National Alliance is coming soon, and everything must be prepared at the earliest time.

Seeing that Jun Shecang said the same thing, Mo Qingli had no choice but to sit down.

Four people were brought in, two court ladies and two eunuchs.They knelt in front of Jun She Cang, all trembling with fright.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jun She said calmly.

"The emperor spared his life, and the slaves also obeyed the orders." The maids cried and said.

Yun Yixue immediately asked: "Whose order did you take to dare to set fire to the palace at this time, don't you know that this is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans?"

"It was the empress who wanted to attract the emperor's attention, so she ordered the servant to set the fire." The little eunuch said with a mournful face, and hurriedly took out a jade hairpin from his sleeve, "This is what the empress rewarded, and we were only following orders. It was such a big deal.”

"This jade hairpin looks familiar." Yun Yixue winked, Yunman went up to get the jade hairpin, and brought it to Mo Qingli for Mo Qingli to see first.

Mo Qingli glanced at it, and found that this emerald jade hairpin was just taken out of the treasury by herself as a return gift to Shangguan Zilin, but unexpectedly it fell into the hands of this little eunuch.She asked lightly: "You mean, your master ordered you to set fire to gain favor?"

"Slaves don't know anything." The maids cried repeatedly.

Mo Qingli frowned irritably, and a group of people cried so hard that their brains ached.Chutang immediately stepped forward and reprimanded: "Why are you crying, just answer honestly if you have something to say, otherwise you will be dragged into the inner court later, and you will have no place to cry even if you cry."

"Don't worry, aunt, they are all terrified." Yun Yixue took a sip of tea slowly and said leisurely.

This kind of harem affairs, Yun Yixue has seen a lot since she was a child, and she is well aware of Shangguan Zilin's little thoughts, so she is naturally much calmer.

Mo Qingli called out, "Auntie, let's pass on to the nobleman."

No matter what the reason is, setting fire in the palace at this time is a serious crime.It's impossible for Mo Qingli to take over everything blindly, and Shangguan Zilin is frivolous, and Mo Qingli doesn't like her very much. If she really wants to set fire to the palace for favor, then Mo Qingli will not forgive her .

In this harem, there is a price to be paid for being stupid.

Shangguan Zilin was woken up in her sleep and saw that Auntie Chutang who was beside the Empress came to invite someone, Shangguan Zilin didn't know what was going on, so she asked, "Dare to ask my aunt, why did the Empress let me go? "

"Slaves don't know about this kind of thing. You only know when the nobleman goes." Chutang smiled slightly, "But hurry up, after all, it's getting late."

Shangguan Zilin followed Chutang to the central palace in a daze, and when he arrived at the main hall, Jun Shecang sat firmly on the front seat, Mo Qingli sat sideways on one side, and Yun Yixue, Lu Yalan, and Huanyue sat on the bottom, respectively. Everyone was dressed for the evening and looked like they had business to do.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Shangguan Zilin Rourou bowed down and saluted.

Jun Shecang raised his chin slightly and said, "Sit down."

Shangguan Zilin was sitting next to Lu Yalan.

Yun Yixue frowned slightly and said: "Didn't someone invite Xuebi? Why hasn't Xuebi arrived yet, can't we all wait for her?"

We all know that Concubine Xue and Mrs. Shangguan are sisters. If anything happens to Zilin, Concubine Xue will definitely try to stop her. So Yun Yixue means to take the opportunity to drag Shangguan Wenxue into trouble. Shangguan Wenxue is not coming now. It made her a little disappointed.

"Xuebi's body is weak, I've confessed, don't call her, let her rest in the yard, this kind of thing is up to you and I don't need her to do anything." Mo Qingli said.
