"These days, the emperor has been pampering Concubine Rong. If this continues, the concubine's position may be complete."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. She only has a weak and sick son, and she is not in good health. In the past, she could still rely on her mother's family, but now there is such a real brother in the family..." Concubine Jin smiled, "I'm afraid I can stop it." For a moment, it cannot be stopped for a lifetime."

Ju Qing served Concubine Jin the freshly warmed goat milk nectar, Concubine Jin politely took it and drank it.

"My younger sister thinks the same as my elder sister. It's just that Concubine Rong is the one who favors me. I'm afraid that many people in the harem who want to be pampered will not be able to sit still." An Lingrong's words changed, "After the waking sting, my sister's pregnancy is already three months old. Speaking of it It's also thanks to Concubine Rong, your baby is no longer conspicuous under her favor."

"It's all planned by my sister for my younger sister." Concubine Jin benefited from Concubine Yao, and her words were still polite, neither too intimate nor too dependent.An Lingrong took a sip of tea, the person who most resembled her in this palace was the Concubine Jin in front of her.Xu is the daughter of a collateral branch of the aristocratic family. Although she is not as talented as the nobleman Lan who entered the palace with her, she has a lot of understanding of the harem.

"I don't know if there is any progress in my sister's request to my sister?"

Fu Cha Chen Ling frowned, and glanced at Ju Qing.Ju Qing resigned first knowingly, "The sixth elder brother's mother is looking for something from the servant, and the servant will go to the warehouse to get it first."

"My sister helped my sister with an important share, so my sister should do her best to find out for her. My sister knows that Concubine Xi's father was seriously ill in Ningguta for a period of time, but he recovered later."

"I've heard that it was Concubine Xi who was valued by the emperor, so the emperor sent someone there, right?"

Concubine Jin shook her head, "When the emperor sent someone to go, Concubine Xi's father was already recovered, so she didn't ask any more questions. A criminal official in Ningguta would be fatally ill, but Zhen Yuandao was able to recover, it must be There are noble people to help."

"Sister is really thoughtful." An Lingrong nodded with satisfaction.

"My younger sister sent someone to inquire carefully, and I heard that a prince sent someone here. But I don't know which prince is here." Concubine Jin continued, her tone trembling slightly, "Concubine Xi is in Ganlu Temple. When she was ill, she was falsely accused of stealing bird's nest and rushed to Lingyun Peak. At that time, it had been a few days since Concubine Xi left the palace. The way to make money, sister, tell me, from whom did Concubine Xi get the bird's nest?"

"Since I can't get it, someone else must have given it to me." An Lingrong said thoughtfully.

"That's right. Bird's nests are only given by rich people." Concubine Jin took a breath, "Lingyun Peak is not far from the Qingliang Terrace of King Guojun. Occasionally, some villagers who passed by Lingyun Peak once saw it. There was an older girl cleaning outside Ling Yunfeng's meditation room, but she had never seen a beautiful woman." Concubine Jin boldly made a conclusion, "So my sister's suspicion may be..."

"Maybe it's true." An Lingrong narrowed her eyes slightly. What she wanted was not just the evidence that was worth guessing about the affair between King Guo and Zhen Huan. What she wanted more was to prove whether this life was the same as the previous one. Zhen Huan's twins are the children of King Guo, "Are all the people who you ask this information reliable?"

Concubine Jin said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance. My sister asked people to ask questions separately, and the people who asked these questions are not related. If this matter is serious..."

"If it's true, it's our sharp weapon." An Lingrong held Concubine Jin's trembling hand and said, "It's just our speculation now, and we can't reveal any clues about this matter until there is no conclusive evidence .”

"What my sister said is true. There is an aunt in Ganlu Temple who has a good relationship with Concubine Xi, but her mouth is very strict..."

"Take this matter slowly." An Lingrong held Concubine Jin steady, thinking slowly in his heart not to tell Concubine Jin about Cui Jinxi's life, "Now that your baby is safe, it's serious business."

Concubine Jin nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to send away that aunt Mo Yan from Ganlu Temple who was on good terms with Concubine Xi. I am not afraid that Fang Chang will not be able to do anything in the future."

"Greetings to Concubine Yao." Jiang Fuhai saluted.

"Get up." An Ling smiled and said, "Eunuch Jiang seldom comes to this Palace."

"The empress announced that the concubines of each palace will go to Jingren Palace immediately."

"But what happened?"

"The servant can't explain clearly in a few words, but when the empress has gone, she will know."

An Lingrong felt something unusual, thought about what should have happened in the previous life, and smiled slowly, "Then I will go to the palace immediately."

"Your Majesty Qi, you must report Concubine Xi to me, and why did I invite everyone from the harem here?"

Noble Qi squinted at Zhen Huan's direction, saluted, straightened his body and said, "The concubine wants to report on Concubine Xi's adultery, messing up the harem, and the crime cannot be punished."

An Lingrong pretended to drink tea, but secretly looked at Zhen Huan who was diagonally opposite, just like when she became a coral bracelet in the dream, Zhen Huan was originally indifferent, but suddenly clenched the corner of the table when she heard Mrs. Qi's words.

The queen was furious, and slapped the pillow next to her hand, "The palace rules are strict, and noble Qi is not allowed to speak nonsense."

"If a minister or concubine speaks half a false sentence, he will be called five thunderbolts, and he will never be reborn."

"Hmph, I thought it was some kind of poisonous oath, who knows the matter of life and death. It can be seen that the oath is not sincere." Ning Gui said disdainfully.

The nobleman Qi was provoked by this, and immediately renewed his oath, "I swear by the Guerjia clan, if there is a half-truth, the whole clan will die without heirs."

An Lingrong saw Mrs. Qi being so earnest, and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Qi said that Concubine Xi had an affair, so who is the adulterer?"

Qigui sipped a smile, and said confidently, "Emperor physician, Wen Shichu."

An Lingrong put down the teacup, out of the corner of her eye she could see Zhen Huan's relaxed hands resting on the corner of the table, feeling more certain about what she and Concubine Jin had discussed.Then he slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, this nobleman Qi still became the queen's abandoned son today.Looking at Concubine Jin again, Concubine Jin is still the same as usual, she doesn't seem to be someone who talks about this matter with her.And although nobleman Lan doesn't deal with nobleman Qi, he is also happy to watch when nobleman Qi points the finger at Concubine Xi.

"Heh," Concubine Hui sneered, "not to mention that Concubine Xi has always kept the etiquette, even ordinary people who know a few etiquettes also know how dirty adultery is."

"Concubine Hui's words are reasonable," An Lingrong said seemingly to the point, "As far as I know, the Zhen family and the Wen family are family friends. Since Concubine Xi entered the palace that day, it is natural that the two are not related. It can be seen that the two families There is no intention of being married."

"Concubine Yao is right. Wen Shichu and Concubine Xi are childhood sweethearts, and the fact that the two families have no intention of marrying each other does not mean that they have no personal relationship." Lady Qi sneered, "As for Concubine Hui, Concubine Xi Even if you don’t keep the way of practice in Ganlu Temple, how can you know the etiquette.”

"The concubine remembers that when Concubine Xi's sister was in the sick bed for a long time when she first entered the palace, it was doctor Wen who took her pulse." Rong Pin said softly.

Afterwards, the other concubines talked about Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu's affairs in a good way.The queen didn't say a word, and let noble Qi pass on to Ping'er, a maid in Guerjia's mansion, and Fei Wen in Yongshou Palace to testify to her words.Wen Shichu was also summoned to the Jingren Palace for questioning. After a few words, the emperor finally went down and was alarmed.

When Yongzheng heard that nobleman Qi was going to report on Concubine Xi's adultery, he slapped nobleman Qi in front of everyone.Because of the queen's words of good reputation for Concubine Xi, Yongzheng took the seat and uploaded the third witness that Qi Guiren wanted to pass on, Jingbai from Ganlu Temple.

"When Concubine Xi first came to Ganlu Temple, she never paid attention to everyone, so we can only keep a respectful distance. There was an elderly girl in the palace who often came to visit her. Other than that, there was only one imperial physician surnamed Wen. I often come to visit. The poor nun passed by the empress's residence several times, and saw that the door of the empress's room was sometimes closed during the day and the maid was guarding the outside. Instead, she was scolded by the empress. The poor nun couldn't say anything. Later, in order to avoid the rumors in the temple, Concubine Xi called her sick and moved away from Ganlu Temple. Then I don’t know.”

Although Jing Bai's remarks did not explicitly say that Wen Shichu had an affair with Zhen Huan, they actually went to a place that makes people imagine.Moreover, the emperor has always been suspicious, so at this moment, he must have been two points suspicious.

Ning Guiren got up impatiently and left first, citing the headache from listening.

Mrs. Qi once again talked about the childhood sweetheart between Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan, and the queen also said, "I don't know if it was the emperor's order for Doctor Wen to visit Concubine Xi, and if it was the emperor's order, it is understandable."

Wen Shichu argued, "Your Majesty, the place where Concubine Xi lives is indeed remote, but Aunt Jinxi is here, and there are so many aunts in Ganlu Temple, how dare I be presumptuous."

"Does Doctor Wen think we are all fools? Who doesn't know that Cui Jinxi is Concubine Xi's confidant, how can her testimony count. What's more, Cui Jinxi is gone now, and there is no evidence to prove it."

Yongzheng turned his head to look at Zhen Huan, "Do you have any?"

Zhen Huan knelt down, "No concubine."

Yongzheng raised his hand to let Zhen Huan take a seat.

"I believe in Concubine Xi." Yongzheng changed his sitting posture, and also changed the bead string in his hand.

But Concubine Rong and the Queen's few words easily turned the suspicion of adultery into doubts about the origin of the eighth elder brother and the seventh princess.After several disputes, it was finally decided to test relatives by dripping blood, but how to pierce the dragon's body to get blood became another knot.

"The blood of this emperor's heir must not be mistaken. It is reasonable and reasonable for the emperor to test his relatives with a drop of blood." An Lingrong spoke for the first time after the emperor came.

Yongzheng looked at An Lingrong, and gave her his first unattractive smile when he entered the palace today, An Lingrong smiled back, and said with a salute, "Since you want to test relatives with blood, you might as well let Eighth Brother and Wen It’s good to have the imperial doctor’s examination, so there’s no need to damage the emperor’s dragon body.”

Yongzheng nodded, "Just as Concubine Yao said." Zeng Lixin and Huichun beside the queen went down to prepare.

Taking advantage of the emptiness, An Lingrong said again, "This drop of blood is the result of blood test. Concubine Jin is pregnant, and today's matter has nothing to do with Concubine Jin. Why don't you let Concubine Jin go back to the palace to recuperate?" .”

"It's still your thoughtfulness." Yongzheng looked at Concubine Jin, "Go back to the palace first, be careful on the way."

Fucha Chen Ling Yili resigned.

The rest is the same as in the previous life. For the first time, the queen prepares water and drops blood to test the relatives. The blood of the eighth elder brother and Wen Shichu's blood are fused together.

Concubine Xi saw through that someone was framing her and the eighth elder brother, and immediately knelt on the ground facing the emperor, raining pear blossoms, and rarely looked at the emperor aggrieved in front of everyone.

"Just now, for the sake of fairness, the queen personally prepared the water."

"The water prepared by the concubine is definitely not a problem."

"I remember that you are quite skilled in medicine."

"If the concubine uses this trick," the queen forced a smile, pointing to the waterway for the marriage inspection, "if you are not careful, you will be found out, wouldn't it be too risky. The concubine is not that stupid."

During the first marriage inspection just now, Concubine Jing wanted to persuade the angry emperor, but she was pushed to the ground. At this moment, Concubine Jing said angrily, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub. This trick Although it is dangerous, the chances of winning are great. Once it succeeds, everyone will believe that Brother Ba is the son of Imperial Physician Wen, and who else will try again."

The queen knelt down beside Yongzheng, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged. Your majesty has learned that your concubine is a queen, so why bother to make such a bad move to frame Concubine Xi."

"That's right, you are already a queen, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?" Concubine Duan said suddenly.

"The emperor's lesson."

Zhen Huan took a step forward, crying more and more sadly, "Your Majesty, if my concubine hadn't found out in time, even if she believed that Hongluo was the emperor's own son, she would have been killed because of injustice. My concubine has always respected you as a queen, and I always respect you very much. I don't know where I offended the queen, and I have to suffer this disaster."

For the second time during the conversation, Zeng Lixin prepared the water himself, the blood of the eighth elder brother and Wen Shichu's blood did not mix.The queen saw that the blood of the two could not mix, and the kneeling man sat upside down on his legs.With his head down, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"The emperor has tested it, so all doubts can be dispelled."

Yongzheng glanced at the queen with her head down, and pulled up Zhen Huan who was kneeling to get her up, "Huanhuan, I blamed you wrongly. I don't have any doubts anymore."

"The identity of the concubine is now clear."

"sit down."

"Mr. Qi, the matter has come to this, what else do you have to say."

Noble Qi quickly got up from his chair and knelt in the middle of the hall, "Your Majesty, even though the eighth elder brother is the emperor's own son, Concubine Xi and Wen Shichu have an affair. The three of them are all witnesses. Does the emperor not care about it?"

"My servant, my servant dare not lie," Fei Wen crawled forward, "Even if the emperor doesn't believe what this servant said, he still has to believe Master Jingbai's words, she saw that Imperial Physician Wen often visited Concubine Xi in Ganlu Temple. "

Jing Bai immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Amitabha, monks don't lie."

For a while, no one in the hall made a sound.

Mo Yan, who testified for Zhen Huan in the last life, took her out of Ganlu Temple because of An Lingrong, who asked Concubine Jin to investigate her. This time, Ning Guiren and Miss Zhen Er did not bring anyone back to the palace.But An Lingrong knows that the most important eighth elder brother has no blood relationship with Wen Shichu. The flowers of these three people are full of doubts under Zhen Huan's confrontation just now. Even if the emperor has doubts about Zhen Huan, there will not be many. The position cannot be shaken at all.And now, Zhen Huan's status cannot be shaken.

"Fei Wen, who was questioned by Concubine Xi just now, has a bad memory and does not keep her duty. Even though Ping'er has served Concubine Xi, she is a member of noble Qi's family. As for Master Jingbai," An Lingrong looked at the emperor with a relaxed expression. After a lot, he continued, "Master Jingbai is just a master of Ganlu Temple. If the emperor is concerned about the reputation of Concubine Xi, he might as well send someone to ask the sisters-in-law of Ganlu Temple and the abbot who usually uphold justice in detail. This will make sense. "

"Well, that's right. Zeng Lixin, send some safe people to ask the sister-in-law of Ganlu Temple, especially the abbot."

"Yes."

Yongzheng looked at the people in the room, "It's not urgent, I want to know the water."

"Your Majesty, this servant didn't mean it. When the lady went to prepare water, this servant went to pick it up. This servant forgot to fill the alum in the backyard just now, and accidentally got water on her finger. This servant did it unintentionally, Your Majesty." Hua Chunlian repeatedly kowtow.

"Hui Chun is so careless, I sent her to the Department of Punishment."

The guards dragged Huichun to go out, Huichun shouted, "My empress, save me, empress, empress!"

"You get up first." Yongzheng didn't even look at the queen, and only asked the queen who was kneeling on the ground to get up, "Feiwen, Ping'er, Jingbai will be detained for the time being, and noble Qi can't take half a step in Chuxiu Palace, until tomorrow If you ask questions at Ganlu Temple, I will immediately deal with it. After a whole day of trouble, I am also tired. The empress and concubine Xi can take a good rest, and the concubines in the other palaces should also go back and rest."

Before Concubine Xi's tears were shed and the Empress was at a loss, Yongzheng looked at An Lingrong who was about to retire like the other concubines, "Concubine Yao, I'm going to your palace."
