This shadow guard is kinda nice

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did the maids around me come into contact with you?" The queen turned around and glared. After all, she had been in charge of the Six Palaces for many years, and she was so powerful that the maid shrank her neck in fright.

Concubine Li sneered again and again, she rolled her eyes, "Sister, why are you so angry with the maid? Caihe is right next to you, why don't you just ask?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Cai He, the court lady who was kneeling beside the queen.

The queen glared at her, she turned her head to look at Cai He who had been by her side for many years, her brows were slightly frowned, this time, her heart was completely at a loss.The prince also glanced at Caihe.

Caihe knelt on the ground, facing everyone's gaze, trying to minimize her sense of existence.

"Caihe, with so many people present, you don't have to worry that the queen will make things difficult for you..."

The queen yelled to shut up, Concubine Li Gui snorted disdainfully, shut up, and let you be arrogant for a while, it is not certain who will have the final say in the harem from now on.

The emperor also said at this time, "Whether you did it or not, just say it."

Cai He bit her lower lip, she raised her head and looked at the unknown emperor, then lowered her head, glanced at the empress from the corner of her eye, and then said: "The empress had a headache the day before yesterday, and the maid and the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital went together On the way to get the medicine, I happened to hear two passing maids in Concubine Li's palace, explaining that the imperial concubine will make some cakes for His Majesty, and let them prepare things. Empress doesn't really care, because she's used to it."

Concubine Li gave a cold snort, and Xiao Yi'an patted her hand to comfort her.Concubine Shu stood aside quietly, keeping out of the matter, while Concubine Hui smiled faintly. The empress who was still aloof yesterday has become like this today.

The queen straightened her body, she didn't speak, what Cai He said was the truth, she really didn't care much about it, if Concubine Li gave it to her once, and she vented her anger once, she would not be able to live through this day.

"At a later date, His Majesty turned over the signboard of Concubine Li. Although the empress didn't say anything, she just sat there all night, and the servants also stayed with her all night."

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at the empress twice, but the empress turned her head away and did not look at the emperor. The emperor sighed, he used to like the empress, and the empress had been with him for many years, but after all these years, he always owed her something, so try to Treat their children better and care more, so Xiao Beining always gets more than the other brothers.

"The servant persuaded the empress to rest for a while. She only told the servant to go down first. She wanted to be alone. After a long time, she called the servant to come in and gave the servant a small medicine bottle."

The bad premonition in her heart was confirmed, but the queen couldn't even get angry. She looked at Cai He in shock, as if she didn't know her. What was she talking about?Where did she give her any medicine bottle?

The emperor frowned, and he said without emotion: "Go on."

The queen was awakened by this sound, she grabbed Caihe's collar, Caihe was startled by her, and then looked at her in horror.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did this palace give you any medicine bottle?"

"Your Majesty..." With tears in Cai He's eyes, Concubine Li Gui took the opportunity to say, "The empress has been handed over by a confidant maid, and she became angry from embarrassment?"

The queen didn't bother to pay attention to what she said at the moment, she just stared at Caihe, "I treat you well, why did you frame me like this?"

Caihe twitched the corners of her mouth, speechless.

"Talk?" The queen sternly said, "Who are you showing this to?" She pushed Caihe, she was the most annoying woman who was about to cry, yesterday's Concubine Hui was, and today's Caihe is also , just rely on yourself to cry, right?

Caihe groaned, she was pushed to the ground, tears finally fell from her eyes, dripping to the ground one after another, she hesitated, whether to continue, the queen really treated her kindly, but ah...

"Queen—" the emperor was furious, "Is she doing it right under my nose? Did you take me seriously?"

The queen was stunned for a moment. She knelt on the ground, not knowing how to react. Suddenly, she smiled, but that smile was probably uglier than crying.

She shook her head and said, "You don't believe in concubines," she suddenly stretched out her hand, pointed at Concubine Li, and said sharply, "You trust her, you don't trust concubines."

"Nonsense—"

"Hahahahahaha, the concubine is messing around?"

The emperor stopped talking. He realized that it might have been too long. The queen in his memory was gentle, dignified and majestic. Now the one in front of him has changed. She is hysterical, no different from a crazy woman.

He closed his eyes fortunately, he did not see the queen anymore.

The prince was silent. He put one hand on the queen's shoulder and patted it lightly. His mind was in a mess and he didn't have a clue at all. From yesterday to today, it was only overnight, and it became like this.

When Caihe stood up, she glanced at Concubine Hui who had been smiling from the corner of her eye. Their eyes met in the air. Concubine Hui smiled lightly. Caihe shivered, and she knelt down again.

Xiao Yichen folded his arms, he followed Caihe's gaze calmly, and then he was a little surprised.

Cai He continued: "This servant girl is afraid, but she doesn't dare to disobey the Queen's order. She took the medicine and waited for the concubine Li to appear in the Royal Garden, the only way to pass, and then pretended to tilt her foot. I begged her Help the slave to get some Dieda wine, she couldn't stand the slave's pleading, so she agreed."

"The servant helped her hold the food box so that she could get it faster, and while she was away, the servant put the medicine in it." She paused, looked up and said, "After that, everyone will know."

The hall was quiet for a while, and even the sound of breathing subsided unconsciously. The Queen's body was no longer straight, she sat down slumped, her hands were tightly squeezed, Xiao Beining felt that she was trembling, but she couldn't feel it herself.

"Hahahahahahaha, that's really good," the queen let go of her hand, she turned around, and looked at Cai He fiercely, "The story is well written? I almost thought that I really let you go down!" The poison has harmed the emperor."

Caihe lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

"At this time, sister, are you still stubborn to admit it?" Concubine Li Gui said, she walked over, regardless of Xiao Yi'an's obstruction, she knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, my concubine was frightened all night last night. , the concubine is worried about His Majesty, and also worried about whether she can see His Majesty again."

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and she looked very charming, "Who would have thought that all of this was done by the empress, but she blamed all the concubines. Her blame is small, but poisoning your majesty is a big deal. His Majesty……"

The emperor opened his eyes, and he said impatiently, "Shut up."

Concubine Li was silent, she stopped talking, put down the hand holding the handkerchief, and knelt down on the ground in good order.Xiao Yi'an sighed, it's still the same, the concubine mother can't restrain herself at all, she doesn't know how to keep a low profile.

The emperor ignored Concubine Li, he looked at the queen and asked her word by word, "Is everything she said true?"

"What if the concubine says no?" The queen also looked at the emperor not to be outdone, she straightened her body, she is the queen who the emperor is marrying, and the daughter of the prime minister, she has never done anything, she has a clear conscience.

"Okay," the emperor nodded, "Then I ask you, "Did you have a headache the day before yesterday, the imperial doctor you went to call for by Caihe?" "

"Yes."

The emperor continued: "Cai He met the maid next to Concubine Li, and came back to tell you."

"Yes."

"I turned over the brand of Concubine Li, you stayed up all night."

The queen hesitated for a moment, she smiled lightly and said, "Yes."

"You were jealous, and you took this opportunity to poison Concubine Li."

Concubine Li raised her chin slightly, she glanced at the queen.

"No." The Queen did not hesitate at all, she categorically denied it.

The emperor smiled dully, with a calm expression, "You said you didn't know Qingsha, but you found Qingsha alone in your palace. You said you didn't poison her, but Caihe, who has been with you for many years, said it was you." medicine."

"Queen, queen, how do you tell me to believe you?"

The queen's hand on her side was squeezed again. She seemed to not recognize the person in front of her. She had married him since she was a teenager and became his concubine. Although there was no deep relationship between them, there was They have also walked away with respect and respect for so many years.

She has always known that the emperor is ruthless, but she doesn't know that this ruthlessness will come to her one day.

She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at the emperor, as if she was extremely disappointed, but the tears in her eyes finally slid down. She stared blankly at the teardrops hitting the ground drop by drop, like beads with broken strings. Can't stop.

It turned out that she also had tears.

Xiao Beining reached out and wiped away the tears on her face, but the next moment, tears covered her face again. Xiao Beining looked at her face and said softly, "It's okay, Queen Mother, you still have sons."

He turned his head and said: "Father, the queen mother will never do such a thing as poisoning the father, maybe someone bribes the maids around her to frame her, and I pledge my life as a guarantee, begging the father to find out the truth. "

After he finished speaking, his forehead fell to the ground, and the queen took his hand to ask him to get up, but he refused.The emperor listened expressionlessly, but when he finished speaking, he became angry almost instantly.

As the crown prince of a country, he easily used his own life as a guarantee. He didn't know whether to say that Xiao Beining was too filial, or what, even if the person who pledged his life to guarantee was his mother, this was definitely not the crown prince he wanted .

As an emperor, he should cut off all personal relationships.

He yelled loudly and told the prince to get up.

The prince was still lying on the ground, which meant that he would not get up if the emperor did not agree to a thorough investigation.

Xiao Yichen smiled casually, it's really boring, why not go back to the palace and finish what Mo Ran didn't finish yesterday.As he thought about it, he took a look at Mo Ran. Mo Ran was originally in awe, but when he saw him, he immediately stood up straight.

Xiao Yichen couldn't help laughing.

The emperor was completely angry. His body had just been detoxified, and now he was still very weak. He was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath, and coughed twice while clutching his chest.

Eunuch Fu and Imperial Physician Zhang rushed to check. Physician Zhang patted the emperor's back to help him feel better. Eunuch Fu brought a cup of hot tea, and the emperor felt better after drinking it.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry, your body is important."

The emperor stretched out his hand, pointing at the few people kneeling below, "Look, look, I don't worry about one or two."

What Eunuch Fu wanted to say again, the emperor waved his hand impatiently, "I'll put this on hold for two days, and we'll talk about it later." Even if he got angry again, he had to think about his own health. He was afraid that if he continued, he would be punished by the queen. And the prince was furious.

The crowd was blasted out, the forbidden army was withdrawn from the palace of Concubine Li, the empress was imprisoned in Kunning Palace, and she was not allowed to go anywhere without the emperor's order, the prince was also ordered to think for three days, Caihe and the maids beside Concubine Li He was sent to the Punishment Department and temporarily detained, and the two-day farce came to an end for the time being.

Xiao Yi'an and Xiao Yichen left the Xihua Palace together, and they stood by the red wall.

Light blue sky, occasional clouds, rare fine weather.

"I won't go with you anymore, I'll go to see her in the concubine's palace first."

Xiao Yichen nodded, "Go."

Xiao Yi'an didn't say anything else, after he walked a few steps, he suddenly turned around, before Xiao Yichen left, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, fifth brother."

Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that no matter who was behind the poisoning this time, it was obvious that he was the one who benefited the most. .

"Thank you."

"No thanks." Xiao Yi'an turned his head away, he waved his hand, Xiao Yichen watched his figure disappear into the palace road, and said to the people around him: "Let's go."

It's time to go back and settle the matter between him and Mo Ran.
