Queen, don't be too arrogant

Chapter 140 He Is Protecting Her (9)
Xie Jingran quickly looked in the direction where the voice came from. As expected, the owner of the familiar voice was none other than Concubine Zhao Linlang and Zhao Guifei who had been at odds with her all along.

Seeing Xie Jingran looking at her, Zhao Linlang gave her a cold look, as if she was her bitter enemy for generations.

Xie Jingran was furious, why did she offend her, why did she look at her like this, why did she come to her Oasis Palace with so many concubines?

Hearing Zhao Linlang's words, Murong Xuanyan nodded expressionlessly: "Well, if you have anything to say now, just say it."

Hearing his words was like hearing the most beautiful sound of nature in the world. Zhao Linlang smiled coldly, then knelt down and said to Murong Xuanyan: "Your Majesty, please do You have to make the decision for your concubines!"

After Zhao Linlang finished speaking, she looked at Xie Jingran with that kind of resentful eyes, the ice front in her eyes seemed to cut Xie Jingran into pieces in an instant.With such a resentful look in her eyes, Xie Jingran couldn't help but shiver. Why did she hate her so much?
Could it be that the so-called rumor that she and Murong Xuanyan are married has stimulated her?
Xie Jingran couldn't help laughing a little, because of her ridiculous thoughts.She wants Murong Xuanyan to make the decision for her, so is there really something that made her say such a thing?

Just after Zhao Linlang said this, another concubine appeared out of nowhere, knelt down in front of Murong Xuanyan with a plop, and said in a weeping voice, "Your Majesty, the evidence for this matter is conclusive, and the witnesses and material evidences are complete. Now, I believe everyone can tell who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, so I hope the emperor will make a clear decision on this matter!"

Zhao Linlang glanced at her, and also said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has always lived in harmony with all the concubines in this palace. I really don't know which concubine would treat my concubine so heartlessly, but what happened today really made my concubine cold." My heart... Your Majesty, my concubine does not expect the emperor to severely punish the person who cursed my concubine, I only hope that the emperor can give my concubine justice, and I hope that the emperor will do it!"

Xie Jingran was even more confused. She didn't know what conspiracy was going on in the palace to make Zhao Linlang say such things.But seeing everyone's eyes looking at her, she knew that this conspiracy must have a great relationship with her.

Murong Xuanyan glanced at Xie Jingran first, seeing her extremely innocent and confused appearance, but he was not surprised at all.Then he glanced at Zhao Linlang and the concubine, and said in a deep voice, "Then tell me, who is the so-called mastermind behind the scenes?"

Zhao Linlang and the concubine looked at each other, but they didn't speak, but looked at a person standing not far away.Xie Jingran followed their line of sight, and saw that the person the two of them were looking at was none other than Zhao Qingcheng.

This is strange. The two of them want to ask for an announcement, so what does it have to do with Zhao Qingcheng?
But Zhao Qingcheng didn't look at them, but just like them, he surrendered his eyes to another person.

Xie Jingran shifted her gaze again, and saw another person she didn't expect.

That person is Haoyue.

Seeing Zhao Qingcheng looking at her, Haoyue bit her teeth and bit her lips, as if she had made up her mind, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I saw with my own eyes! When I was tidying up the Queen's palace, I found that There was something under the empress's bed, and the slaves were so frightened that they lost their minds, and because the empress was not in Ganquan Palace, they went to find the imperial concubine!"

Murong Xuanyan remained expressionless: "Then tell everyone, what is that thing you found?"

Hearing Murong Xuanyan's words, Haoyue hesitated for a moment, and then squeezed out a sentence: "Please forgive me, my servant... I dare not speak..."

Haha, I'm still pretending here, Xie Jingran now knows that she belongs to Concubine Lin Mei, and what she found under her bed must not be a good thing, and she still hesitates and pretends to be scared!Then she wants to see how Haoyue will frame her!

Seeing Xie Jingran's eyes burst into flames instantly, Murong Xuanyan glanced at her, a slight smile seemed to flash across his eyes, then he looked at Haoyue again and said: "Say it out for everyone to hear, don't do this again Hesitate and vomit like that, otherwise I will never forgive you lightly!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

Hearing Murong Xuanyan's voice was calm but obviously full of threats, Haoyue didn't dare to neglect, and took out something from somewhere, and said: "Go back to the emperor, this is what the servants found out at that time!"

Murong Xuanyan's voice was still calm: "Submit it!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Zhao who was behind Murong Xuanyan responded, and went to get the thing in front of Haoyue.Xie Jingran looked at it from a distance, as if it was a small puppet-like thing, but she couldn't make out what it was.

Seeing that thing, Murong Xuanyan had a playful look in his eyes, but it was fleeting, but Shangguan Mingyu had already looked at Xie Jingran, with a slight worry in his expression.

Is this something important? Why is he so worried?
Xie Jingran glanced at him, but he quickly looked away and didn't look at her again.She looked towards Murong Xuanyan full of doubts, but saw that he was looking at the thing in his hand, and there was a trace of expression jumping on his face that he couldn't see what it meant.

As for Zhao Linlang and the concubine who didn't know her name, they looked at Murong Xuanyan expectantly, as if they hoped that he could say something earth-shattering.

Murong Xuanyan stared at the thing in his hand for a long time, then raised his head, looked at Haoyue with a half-smile, and said: "According to what you said, you found out about this puppet when you were cleaning up the queen's bedroom. ,Is it?"

Haoyue nodded: "What the emperor said is true, the servants found it when they were tidying up the empress's bedroom!"

Murong Xuanyan nodded slightly, and continued: "When you saw this, did it look like this?"

"Exactly! The servant has never told a single lie! When the servant first discovered it, the body of the puppet was filled with silver needles, and on it was written the maiden name of the imperial concubine in cinnabar!"

Haoyue hurriedly said vowedly, with an appearance of being very honest.Xie Jingran looked at her dumbfounded, never expecting such a clichéd drama to happen to her.

He even buried a puppet under her bed, accusing her of cursing Zhao Linlang, how could such a trivial matter happen to her!
Could it be that the IQs of the concubines in the palace are all so low, and they only use this method to defeat other concubines?
