Three days period
The emperor glanced sharply at Concubine Shang Gui, obviously displeased with her contradicting the queen.

Concubine Shang Gui was only concerned with arrogance, but didn't notice the emperor's eyes of condemnation, and said to herself, "I know that Su Liangyuan came out of the empress's palace, and I think the empress had high hopes for her at the beginning, but Unexpectedly, she didn't live up to expectations, and it's only natural for the empress to be disappointed, but a mistake is a mistake and will not be tolerated."

"Enough!" Seeing the empress's face changing suddenly, the emperor slapped the table and said angrily, "Concubine Shang Gui, shut your mouth, it's not your turn to speak yet."

Concubine Shang Gui was startled, as if she didn't believe that the emperor would scold her.

Her eye circles were red, her lips trembled, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor raised his hand, and said to Concubine Qi: "Everyone arrested on the spot, you can interrogate."

Concubine Qi bowed, "Yes, my concubine obeys the order!"

Concubine Qi first helped the queen to sit beside the emperor, and then sat next to the queen herself, her eyes suddenly turned cold, she stared at Yan Xiaotian, "You are so brave, how dare you break into the inner palace?"

Yan Xiaotian's indifferent face finally had color, he raised his head and looked at Concubine Qi Gui, "This is the end of the matter, the criminal minister has no complaints, I just beg the emperor not to embarrass Su Liangyuan, it was the criminal minister who seduced Liangyuan first. "

Yan Xiaotian's words are equivalent to admitting that he has an affair with Su Liangyuan.What's more, what's more, it happened a long time ago, but it just happened now.

Concubine Qi frowned, "How long have you been with Su Liangyuan?"

Concerned about the emperor's face, she only used the word "reciprocation" tactfully.

Yan Xiaotian said loudly: "Since the guilty minister was transferred to Suhe Palace four years ago, he has fallen in love with Liangyuan and won her love and care. Even if the guilty minister dies today, he will have no complaints or regrets."

Su Liangyuan widened her eyes and stared at Yan Xiaotian, "You...why did you wrong me? When did I fall in love with you? Or did you have delusions about me, and today you went in and violated me while I was asleep?"

Hearing this, Qinghe couldn't help shaking his head. Su Liangyuan really didn't look like someone who had lived in this harem for more than ten years. To put it mildly, she was innocent, but in fact she was stupid. Up to now, she still thinks that Yan Xiaotian violated her, not Think about Concubine Shang Gui.

Yan Xiaotian looked at Su Liangyuan tenderly, but smiled bitterly, "Xiao Lan, I have no regrets in this life. If we are really sentenced to death, I will not be afraid of anything if we are accompanied by you on the road to Huangquan. You used to be like this with me." I said it, didn't I?"

Su Liangyuan's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she almost fainted. She pointed at Yan Xiaotian, but couldn't finish her sentence, "You...how can you say that? You are..."

After Qinghe heard these words, his heart suddenly settled down.She quietly stepped aside, waiting for the development of the matter.

Hearing Yan Xiaotian's words, the emperor stared at Su Liangyuan with sharp eyes, his face was gloomy like the sky before the storm.

As an emperor, even if he doesn't love this woman, he can never allow her to betray her.

Concubine Qi thought they were just hanging out, but she didn't expect that they would fall in love with each other long ago, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Su Liangyuan is too stupid, I'm afraid Concubine Shang Gui knew about them a long time ago, so she deliberately set up this opportunity to seize it them.

However, Concubine Qi Gui is also a little puzzled. With Concubine Shang Gui's temperament, if she knew about it earlier, how could she wait until now to expose it?
She subconsciously looked at Concubine Shang, seeing a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, a thought rose in Concubine Qi's mind, could it be that Su Liangyuan did not have an affair with Yan Xiaotian, all this was arranged by Concubine Shang?
She looked at Su Liangyuan again, and saw that she was about to faint, as if she had a great grievance, so she made up her mind.

She couldn't help sneering in her heart, Concubine Shang Gui, concubine Shang Gui, you are really capable, your elder brother went out to fight in exchange for the emperor's favor, and you were pregnant with the dragon seed without making a sound, and secretly cut off those who threatened you one by one. But the palace doesn't let you do what you want.

Thinking of this, she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Su Liangyuan has been in the palace for many years. She has always kept herself safe and never made mistakes. Now if she is convicted only by Yan Xiaotian's one-sided words, she will feel a little wronged. You might as well give my concubine three days. The concubine will investigate clearly."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice and said, "After all, Su Liangyuan is Princess Yili's biological mother, and Princess Yili is about to marry Beimo. If there is a stain on her birth, I'm afraid..."

Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Shang Gui snorted coldly, "How else should we investigate? This was caught on the spot, the evidence of the crime was convincing, and Yan Xiaotian also pleaded guilty, saying that the two had had an affair long ago. It is not appropriate to investigate the matter any further, lest the city be full of disturbances, after all, this is a royal scandal."

Hearing this, Qinghe slowly curled his lips into a sneer. This noble concubine prided herself on being smart, thinking that pointing out the royal scandal would allow the emperor to deal with it quickly, but she didn't know that the emperor is a person who loves face very much, and to deal with it now is tantamount to admitting So, even if Su Liangyuan really stole people, the final investigation result must not be like this. It would be better to execute Su Liangyuan and Yan Xiaotian in private, and then declare their sudden death after the confrontation. Isn't this what emperors always do?

Which emperor would be stupid enough to let everyone know that he was wearing a cuckold?
Sure enough, the emperor, who was a little hesitant after hearing Concubine Qi's words, suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Concubine, I will leave this matter to you to investigate, you must investigate and find out. Your three days."

"Yes, my concubine obeys the order!" Concubine Qi Gui slowly knelt down and sneered slightly.

Concubine Shang Gui was startled, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there is no need to investigate this matter..."

The emperor suddenly turned around and stared at Concubine Shang, with fire in his eyes, "I ordered you to be banned from copying Buddhist scriptures for two months, where did you go today?"

Concubine Shang Gui didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly turn his anger on herself, and in front of so many concubines, she stated that the confinement was his order, not Concubine Qi.

In other words, she was defying the order and not obeying it.

She quickly knelt down and said with a panicked look: "Back to the emperor, my concubine heard that the empress is in good spirits and was admiring lotus flowers in the imperial garden, so she wanted to go to pay her respects to the empress. She forgot for a moment that she was still in the confinement period. crime."

The emperor said coldly: "Greetings to the empress? It sounds like you do have the empress's heart, but just now, I saw that you are always against the empress, contradicting every sentence. How can you take the empress seriously?"

"The concubine dare not, the concubine dare not!" Shang Guifei was really scared when he heard his cold voice, and quickly kowtowed to admit his mistake.

However, thinking of the emperor's love and grievances a few days ago, he couldn't help turning his eyes red.

"Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the Suhe Palace. If you dare not to obey, you will be charged with the crime of resisting the order!" The emperor sternly said.

Concubine Shang Gui's face was pale, so she could only bow her head and kowtow, "Yes, my concubine obeys the order."

Su Liangyuan looked at Qinghe hastily, and Qinghe gave her a stable look, signaling her not to panic.

Although Su Liangyuan understood Qinghe's meaning, she couldn't put her heart in its original place. It is a serious crime to mess up the palace. What can Yi'er do?
Thinking of this, she seemed to have seen her own way out, and she couldn't help but fell to the ground in despair, her face ashen.
