Playful Queen

Chapter 121

Meng Li just glanced at Yun Xi, then said indifferently: "I don't know what's the matter with Sister Yun coming to Fengyi Hall so early in the morning?"

Xia Yunxi raised her soft and pretty face, and said with a look of surprise: "Could it be that you don't know, Empress? What happened?"

"Oh, if Concubine Yun has something to say, you might as well just say it straight." Meng Li's beautiful eyes overflowed with brilliance, and there was a light smile on her red lips, with a look of disapproval. Xia Yunxi felt uncomfortable looking at it like this , she wants to see what happens next, Shen Mengli, how calm you are.

"Before I speak, the concubine wants the empress to meet someone first."

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yunxi waved her hand, and after a while, she saw Xiaoyu leading a eunuch about [-] years old. An ordinary eunuch, but at this moment, his expression was tense, his face was pale, his hands were also tense, and he grabbed the hem of his clothes, and quickly stepped forward to greet the Empress and Concubine Yun, but he didn't dare to lift his head, "The servant greets the Empress. "

Mengli's expression was calm and composed. This should be the eunuch who was on watch that night. Next, Xia Yunxi's words confirmed her thoughts.

"Xiao Lizi, tell the empress what did you see on the night of Concubine Li's accident?" Xia Yunxi said with a sneer on her lips, waiting for the slave to speak.

"That night, the slave was on duty and was passing by the Hall of Fengyi. I saw Empress Li, her face pale and nervous, rushing out of the entrance of the Hall of Fengyi as if she had been frightened. The servant heard that Empress Li was at that time Still muttering intermittently, don't kill me! I don't know anything... I don't know!" Xiao Lizi lowered his head and said with a tremor in his voice.

Looking at the little eunuch, Mengli felt that what he said did not seem to be a lie, but she also had doubts.

"You said that since you saw Empress Li appearing in the Palace of Fengyi that night, why didn't you tell me immediately after Empress Li died?" Mengli said ruthlessly with a cold light.

When Xiao Lizi saw the empress's cold eyes, he trembled even more. He knew that he would cause trouble to his upper body, so even though he saw it that day, although he thought it was strange, this kind of thing was not something they could interfere with, after all As for the matter of the master, it is better for them not to see or hear.

It's just that he didn't expect that the next day, Li Yu would be stung to death by a crow when he heard about it, but he also stayed in the palace for a long time, and knew the truth that more things are worse than less things, so he never dared to say anything.

If it weren't for the fact that after seeing the death of Empress Li, I have been having nightmares every night, and I couldn't sleep at all, so I secretly went to pay homage to Concubine Li, and while burning incense, I repented, just thinking that the soul of Empress Li would not come Looking for himself, but was seen by Concubine Yun's close maid Qiaoyu passing by, so...

Xiao Lizi swallowed, and replied nervously: "Go back to your mother, the servant is timid, so I didn't dare to speak."

Hearing this, Xia Yunxi's face darkened for a moment. This woman had known for a long time that she was not so easy to deal with, and she still looked at ease until now, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Why is this empress so angry? Is there really something in it?"

"Concubine Yun, what do you mean by that? You might as well just say it if you have anything to say!" Meng Li raised her eyebrows and said in a calm tone.

"Now this matter has been spread up and down in the palace. Now that rumors are spreading, won't the empress give some explanation?" Xia Yunxi said while stroking her slightly bulging belly, "Actually, the concubine also Fearing that the empress would suffer unjust injustice, that's why I brought Xiao Lizi to see the empress privately, it's better to confront clearly, maybe this slave has the guts to slander the empress?" She said fiercely He glared at Xiao Lizi who was kneeling below.

When Xiao Lizi heard this, he trembled in fright and kowtowed continuously, bloodstains were already seen on his smooth forehead, and he kept yelling: "Your Majesty, I see, what this servant said is true, there is absolutely no lie !"

Meng Li's face was calm and composed, and she glanced at Yun Xi calmly, Xia Yunxi, Xia Yunxi, are you so kind?Doing this is nothing more than making yourself afraid, and then jumping into a pit to let yourself jump down, how could she not see it?

"I'm afraid it will be a waste of Concubine Yun's kindness. I don't need and don't need to give any explanation." Meng Li said leisurely, taking a sip of tea.

"Why is the queen in such a hurry to make a decision? The concubine has not finished speaking, in fact..." Xia Yunxi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said: "The concubine even asked Xiao Li to hide One thing, Empress Empress is so smart, I believe Empress Empress should have already guessed what is going on, right? It’s not easy for the concubine to say it directly here.”

There was a trace of disdain in Meng Li's eyes, and a sneer hung on the corner of her lips: "In front of Concubine Yun, I am not as smart as Concubine Yun in Bingxue, and have a unique mind."

Concubine Yun was startled, why would she say such a thing, hmph, even if she said something now, there would be no room for turning back.

"Xiao Lizi, tell the empress, what else did you see? Tell the truth, the empress will not blame you."

When Xiao Lizi heard what Concubine Yun said, he stopped and kowtowed, his face showed embarrassment, he opened and closed his lips, and became hesitant, but after seeing Xiaoyu winking at the side, he couldn't help hesitating and said in embarrassment: "That night, after finishing the watch, I saw Prince Rui coming out of the Hall of Fengyi when I turned back."

"Empress, do you think there is any need to explain now? The concubine was frightened when she heard about it." Yun Xi looked at Mengli coldly, her eyes full of provocation, and with a kind of The gesture of the victor is triumphant.

Mengli raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Xi next to her, only to see that Yun Xi's face became ferocious, and her black pupils were stained with blood. It was an indelible fact that Mo Yu came to Fengyi Hall that night. Her purpose was nothing more than to She admitted this matter, as for Li Pin, it was nothing more than a cover, what she wanted to say was just this matter.

Mengli was holding on to the armrest tightly, she already knew about this from Jiaoyue, Xia Yunxi, she hasn't settled with her yet, she came to find herself first!
No matter how resentful she was, Mengli still showed a calm look, "Why don't you ask Sister Yunfei to help me explain?"

Yun Xi looked at Meng Li who was surrounded by Ling Han at this time, and couldn't help being taken aback by this aura. Why did she still have the feeling of being led by the nose when she clearly had the upper hand?It doesn't matter if she needs to explain, anyway, she wants to see how Shen Mengli defends herself today, "Actually, this concubine thinks that the queen doesn't need to hide it, if the queen empress likes Prince Rui, this concubine will naturally help empress persuade the emperor."
