After rebirth, I made the princes cry

The sky was still clear, and there was no heavy rain or storm because of Xu Cairen's miscarriage.

But Queen Yu single-handedly created an atmosphere of lightning and thunder. At this time, Sikong Tong was already in place. Even Mrs. He and Mrs. Zheng came after hearing the news, including the concubine Qiao who "accommodated" the Zhang family, and some who came specially to Li Bin came to see the fun. In addition, what was strange was that Shi Bin also arrived panting.

This was not the first time that Yingshu met Shi Bin, but Shi Bin's arrival today made her pay attention to this woman for the first time. She looked very young and frail. The Bincen Pavilion where she lived was also very quiet, and there was a child under her knees. The daughter, only three years old, also had congenital deficiencies, so Concubine Shi had been a vegetarian for many years to pray for her daughter. Although she was in the concubine position, she was actually like a transparent person with no sense of existence in the harem. But today she came, which made Ying Shu felt strange.

Not only does Shi Bin have weak bones, but her eyebrows and eyes also seem to be shrouded in a sick air, but her eyes are extremely beautiful, as if covered with frost, her lips are pale, her cheeks are thin, her eyebrows are dull, and her expression is gloomy, but she Miraculously, she didn't show any pain. She was breathing heavily, and she had to make slight movements to breathe more smoothly. She was holding the bench with one hand, but even so, she still seemed a little shaky.

Queen Yu completely ignored Shi Bin. She was losing her temper. The emperor frowned at Shi Bin, obviously a little intolerable, but did not interrupt the queen.

Yingshu was thinking, why did Shi Bin come?

She glanced at Wang Qing'e, who was not surprised by Shi Bin's arrival.

Perhaps Shi Concubine should have been present in her previous life, Ying Shu thought.

At this time, she finally heard Zhang fight back.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen only listened to Xu Cairen's words and insisted that I was the one who harmed Xu Cairen. I was unjustly accused. I admitted that it was indeed because I was unstable that caused Xu Cairen to fall. However, at that time, I was worried about Xu Cairen. People can be accidentally injured, and I wanted to protect her, but I was pushed by someone from the palace, and I threw Xu Cairen down. Apparently someone deliberately put the blame on me, and I hope Your Majesty and Mrs. Xie will seek justice for me."

"Your Majesty, Xu Cairen had a miscarriage. She is still awake and cannot elaborate at all. However, I asked the palace attendants who were present at the time. They all said that the dispute was caused by Zhang's extreme humiliation of Xu Cairen. Zhang just said She intends to protect Xu Cairen, which shows that this is not true." The queen was not willing to show weakness.

"I met Xu Cairen by chance in the small garden today. It was clearly Xu Cairen who attacked me first, saying that she was about to become a concubine, and ordered me to bow to her three times. Isn't this in line with etiquette? I was just reasoning. "Who knew that the palace servants around Xu Cairen would take action, which caused a commotion? I was afraid that there was another conspiracy, so I wanted to stand in front of Xu Cairen, but I didn't know that I would be plotted against him!"

"Ms. Zhang, you said it was Xu Cairen who provoked you first. Then let me ask you, how could Xu Cairen predict the situation when you arrived at the small garden today? Since you couldn't predict it, where did you find the time to explain that the palace people were violent towards you? It's clear. It's you who is arguing! You are not angry that Xu Cai is about to be concubine, so you openly committed the murder. Otherwise, you have never been to Xiaoyuan in the past, why did you go to Xiaoyuan today? "

"I went to the Xiaoyuan today because Madam Xie called me to go to Xianyang Hall from Yuyin Pavilion. There is a shortcut through the Xiaoyuan."

Sikong Tong looked at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie said, "I didn't call you here."

"But I am following the orders of my wife, Ni Lou, the palace lord next to me! Ni Lou, are you still not telling the truth?"

"This slave indeed listened to the oriole's message."

"Isn't Oriole the palace servant next to me? What does this have to do with Mrs. Xie?" Concubine Qiao asked.

"Going back to Empress Qiao, Oriole said that Mrs. Xie sent someone to inform the empress first, and then the empress asked her to inform the slave and let the slave serve the beloved to the Xianyang Palace."

Oriole was not present, so it would take a while to bring her up for trial. However, the female historian who followed Concubine Qiao reminded her at the right time: "Didn't the empress have forgotten? Just three days ago, the empress punished Oriole."

Qiao Bin suddenly realized that she was about to speak when Sikong Tong finally found a chance to interrupt: "I think Shi Bin is already very sick and weak. You don't care about things, and you have never done much. Today's incident has nothing to do with you, so you should go back and rest." Bar."

"Your Majesty, what happened today has nothing to do with me, otherwise I wouldn't have come."

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Because I witnessed the whole incident with my own eyes today."

Ying Shu could now stare at Shi Bin openly, because not only she, but everyone was staring at Shi Bin now, including Mrs. He and Mrs. Zheng. Even Queen Yu was surprised. She even asked He came out and said, "Shi concubine, you are not in good health. I have always asked you to take good care of yourself. In the past, you would not come to Xianyang Hall. Why did you come today?"

"Your Highness has forgotten that Wu Niang's birthday is coming. Every year when Wu Niang is born, Her Royal Highness the Queen will be so considerate that she will allow the abbot of Cheng'en Temple to enter the palace to pray for Wu Niang's blessings, and I will definitely come to ask for permission to express my gratitude. .”

"Then what did you see when you passed by the small garden?"

"Zhang Liangren insulted Xu Cairen and deliberately provoked him to have an affair with Lord Baichuan. Lord Baichuan then used the theory of good luck to help Xu Cairen ascend the throne. Zhang Liangren also said that she was protected by Mrs. Xie and was not afraid of His Majesty. , the queen punished her, and I also saw that Zhang Liangren deliberately threw Xu Cairen down, but there was no one in the palace to push him down."

Yingshu:......

It is true that Zhang knocked Xu Cairen down on purpose, and she did speak rudely to Xu Cairen, but she did not implicate Mr. Baichuan and Mrs. Xie. Shi Bing's account was half true and half false.

The queen became even more excited because of Shi Concubine's testimony. She pressed her chest and took a few deep breaths: "Your Majesty, don't you know about Shi Concubine? Although she comes from a wealthy family in Jiangdong, she has always had a gentle temperament. Wu Zheng, especially in these years, has only devoted herself to taking care of Wu Niang, almost staying in her Bincen Pavilion and never leaving, she will definitely not lie!"

"Your Majesty, everything Shi said is a lie. I didn't say anything about Xu Cairen having an affair with Mr. Baichuan, let alone intentionally knocking Xu Cairen down. Someone indeed pushed me, as Palace Master Nilou can testify. !”

"Since Nilou is from Yuyin Pavilion, he must obey orders from Zhaoyang Palace. Her testimony is not credible at all!"

"The Queen's words are biased." Madam Xie only half-raised her eyelids without looking at anyone. She shook the fan lightly in her hand: "Ni Lou is a palace servant of Yuyin Pavilion, so he will definitely listen to my orders. Is it true? The queen is still the master of the harem. Among all the people in the inner court, the queen has the highest prestige. Isn’t it true that all the concubines, palace servants, and eunuchs in the inner court must obey the queen’s orders? So how much is right and wrong in this inner court, how about not being the queen? It’s up to you to decide.”

"This is sophistry!" The queen straightened her spine.

"I have questions. I hope the queen will allow me to ask." Yingshu was no longer silent.

"You just chose a girl..."

"Although I was just choosing a girl, I happened to be in the small garden when the incident happened. She was upstairs at Fengxiao, and I was also a witness to the whole incident. Your Highness, the Queen, can't stop letting me speak just because I'm just choosing a girl, right?"

The queen frowned.

Sikong Tong waved his sleeves: "Dixiu, tell me. I still trust what you say."

"What I heard and witnessed is very different from what Concubine Shi heard and witnessed. Even if I tell the truth, I can't prove the truth. Therefore, I want to ask questions, and I hope your majesty and queen will give you permission."

The queen said nothing, and the emperor said, "You tell me."

"Shi's concubine is weak, and this season is in the middle of summer. Even in the morning, the small garden is indeed cool and quiet. However, Shi's residence is far away from the small garden. Shi's concubine can obviously take a sedan chair to take the shortcut to Xian. Yangdian, why do you have to walk around to the small garden?"

"I am seeking the favor of Her Majesty the Queen for the purpose of praying for Wu Niang's birthday. I am sincere and sincere, so why would I take a sedan chair? Although it is not the shortest way to go around the small garden, as Wang Liangren said just now, the small garden is quiet and cool. I chose a quieter and cooler road."

"Even so, Concubine Shi came here alone, without even a personal maid. Aren't she worried that she would suffer from the heat on the way and faint and lose consciousness? I recently had a lot of interactions with Dr. Liu because of the investigation of the evil ghost case. According to Dr. Liu's mention, Shi Niangniang was really weak, so after checking Shi Niangniang's pulse, she reminded her to be careful of heatstroke and not to be away from others. Shi Niangniang always followed the doctor's instructions, so why did she make an exception today? "

"Wang Liang suspected that I was lying and blaming Mrs. Xie and Zhang Liang. I have only one sentence. If what I said today is even half-truthful, I will let Wu Niang die without medical treatment!"

This is a bad oath.

Sikong Tong's face turned pale: "Shi Bing, why do you swear by Wuniang when you are so good?!"

Mrs. He sneered: "Everyone knows that the one Shi Bin loves most is Wu Niang. For Wu Niang's health, she is willing to be a vegetarian for many years even though she is weak. It's pitiful for this loving mother. If Shi Bin lies, how can she dare to use Wu Niang? Where are you swearing for your mother's safety? The context of today's case is too clear. It is clear that Mrs. Xie, relying on her family's power, instigated the Zhang family to openly commit atrocities against Xu Cairen, causing Xu Cairen to have a miscarriage. Her crime was to kill Long Si. A serious crime must never be tolerated!"

"I think so too. Although Chen Junxie has made great contributions to Sheji, there are so many noble families in Dayu. Which family and surname has not contributed to Sheji? Jiangdong He and Changping Zheng, in terms of merit, are not inferior to Chen Junxie , Congratulations to Madam and concubine, who would dare to commit such a heinous crime?" No need to remind anyone, Madam Zheng naturally also stepped in to help.

The queen sighed: "My beloved Wang is under the care of Madam Xie, so it is reasonable for him to defend Madam Xie. Your Majesty does not need to blame her. After all, today's matter has nothing to do with her..."

"How can you say it has nothing to do with it?" Yingshu said, "I just said that what I heard and witnessed is very different from Shi Niangniang's testimony. One of me and Shi Niangniang must be lying. If I lie, I will be guilty." It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor, and to be an accomplice to harm the dragon heir. This is an unpardonable crime, how can it be justified?"

"Wang Liang is aware of it. If that's the case, let's die together." Mrs. Zheng smiled: "Although Wang Liang didn't push Xu Cai, but since he wants to live and die with Mrs. Xie, it should be done."

"Mrs. Zheng, I haven't confessed yet."

"You are so arrogant!"

"I don't want to die unjustly, does that count as arrogant?"

"Why don't you use humble names in front of me? Isn't this considered arrogant?"

"The big knife that Mrs. Zheng held in her hand was slashed at my neck. Do I still think that I am humble and stretch my neck to die? Mrs. Zheng is neither a noble person nor a mother in the world. I have offended You're just going to die and won't implicate the clan members, so what should I be afraid of?"

"Bold!"

"That's enough!" Sikong Tong frowned: "Ms. Zheng, although Emperor Xiu's position is not as good as yours, I said, let her defend, you will yell and kill as soon as you open your mouth, and you will only dwell on irrelevant details. To use power to suppress others, ask yourself, do you have the magnanimity of a noble person?"

"Can Your Majesty tolerate the Wang family's daughter and ignore her dignity?"

"In this palace, do you really understand what is superior and inferior?"

Sikong Tong glanced at Mrs. Zheng: "Emperor Xiu spoke up and asked for my permission, but as for you, your Changfeng Palace has nothing to do with today's incident. You neither know the truth nor have the right to assist in palace affairs. I ask Do they exceed your views and opinions? You will be sentenced in public if you overstep your authority. What is your identity and what qualifications do you have? If you have dignity, dignity, etiquette and laws in your eyes, why are you so arrogant?!"

Mrs. Zheng's spine stiffened with anger, and Ying Shu almost thought she was going to scold Emperor Abo.
