sick princess

"They are here for us." Baoluo heard the word Rui Xiaoyi, and said, "I knew that no matter whether it was Concubine Zhou playing tricks behind the scenes, or the Queen Mother's handwriting, they couldn't just get rid of Concubine Rong They must be planning to kill two birds with one stone, not only get rid of Concubine Rong who is in the way, but also cut off the mother's back arm."

"Rui Xiaoyi has just voted for the Queen Mother. If we can't keep Rui Xiaoyi this time, no one will dare to go to the Queen Mother in the future. Besides, if Concubine Zhou or the Queen Mother's party taste the sweetness, in the future, they will only It will intensify the trapping of our people, making everyone on our side feel in danger."

This is a very real problem.

Empress Xu wanted to develop her influence in the palace and expand the influence of the East Palace lineage on Emperor Zhaode, so there would naturally be people who would stop her.

Empress Xu looks very glamorous now, in charge of the power of the six palaces, she has at least superficially respected by Emperor Zhaode, and her sons and daughters are fighting for their spirits. For a while, Fengyi Palace and East Palace looked very hot.However, if Empress Xu can't even protect the people under her command, then everyone will know that her power is just a vain, and she may still be defeated by Concubine Zhou or other concubines at any time.

Do you want to ask Baoluo to sympathize with Concubine Rong, the victim?Sympathy of course.She also felt pity for the Seventh Prince.

Because even she, an outsider, can see that Concubine Zhou's treatment of the Seventh Prince is mixed with interests, but Concubine Rong's treatment of the Seventh Prince is really painful to the bottom of her heart, regardless of anything The price, the love that does not ask for anything in return.

When the Seventh Prince arrived in Rong'an Palace, he looked dumbfounded. At that time, what could Concubine Rong do for him? Concubine □□ raised the Seventh Prince meticulously to such an age, and after three years, she completely entered the Seventh Prince's heart and got everything the Seventh Prince wanted.The Seventh Prince's closeness to Concubine Rong is far better than that of his biological mother, Concubine Zhou.

Concubine Rong is not a bad person, she has been quietly staying in Rong'an Palace all this time, living her own life.Her maternal love for the Seventh Prince moved no one.

Naturally, Baoluo couldn't remain indifferent to the innocent death of such a concubine.As for the Seventh Prince, no matter what, he was a real person who had gone to school with her. When the Seventh Prince encountered this kind of thing, Baoluo was also very sad for him, and even hurt him a little bit.

Baoluo knew that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhou were very likely to attack Concubine Rong, but it was impossible for her to prevent it from happening.

Although she is in a better situation than the Seventh Prince, her abilities are still very limited.Otherwise, back then, she wouldn't have used bitter tricks to help Empress Xu seize power from Concubine Zhou.All kinds of realities have determined that she can only give priority to protecting the most important people to her.

And this time, it was the same.Although Concubine Rong's death made her very sad, the first thing she had to think about was how to remove her own people from this matter, and minimize the impact of this matter on her side, and then, to find out the truth , so that Concubine Rong can rest in peace.

"Come on, let's go to the pool and have a look." Baoluo knew in her heart that Rui Xiaoyi must not have done this.

Rui Xiaoyi was spoiled by Emperor Zhaode so that she became a bit arrogant, but she was not that kind of vicious person. Otherwise, no matter how much Rui Xiaoyi was favored, Baoluo would not have designed Rui Xiaoyi to vote for Queen Xu.Besides, Rui Xiaoyi didn't have the motive to harm Concubine Rong.

"Princess, Concubine Rong's body...but it stayed there for a long time, and my servant is worried that you will go, and I will feel uncomfortable." Bi Yao hesitated.

Bi Yao knew that it was not easy for the crown prince to intervene in such affairs of the harem, and if only Empress Xu was present, she might not be able to handle it.If his master went, his chances of winning would be greater.

It's just that my master's body has always been weak, and he has never seen such a bloody scene.What if my health gets worse after my master's death?

"It's okay, if we don't even have the guts, we will have to be framed."

The group quickly arrived at the pool where Concubine Rong drowned.

At this time, Emperor Zhaode's face was very ugly.Although Concubine Rong didn't like him, she was still his concubine anyway.

A high-ranking concubine was murdered right under his nose. For Emperor Zhaode, this was not a glorious thing.Furthermore, it is unlucky for someone to die in the palace.

At this time, Emperor Zhaode was a little rejoiced that Concubine Rong didn't leave before the Mid-Autumn Festival.If Concubine Rong left before the festival.The people in the palace might not even have a good holiday.

Rui Xiaoyi was kneeling on the ground, looking at Emperor Zhaode with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Rong was really not the work of my concubine. The concubine just ran into Concubine Rong on the road and talked to Concubine Rong. Just talking for a while, why did you become a concubine and harm Concubine Rong?"

"The concubine and the concubine Rong have no grudges in the past, and have no enmity in recent days. What good will it do the concubine to harm the concubine Rong?" Rui Xiaoyi glanced at Concubine Zhou who was standing aside, and said bitterly: "The concubine enters the palace. Time is still short, if you want to say who you have made enemies with, it is only the concubine. The concubine thought that the concubine had reached a settlement with the concubine, but I don't want to, the concubine still hates the concubine, what's wrong? , I can't wait to put it all on the head of the concubine. The concubine...the concubine is really wronged."

Concubine Zhou frowned at the side.

Just now, the little eunuch on duty by the Huaqing Pool said that he saw Rui Xiaoyi chatting with Concubine Rong, and not long after that, Concubine Rong fell into the water.The little eunuch stood far away and couldn't hear exactly what Rui Xiaoyi and Concubine Rong said, but the faces of both of them were not very good. Obviously, their conversation was not pleasant... Although the words did not clearly say that Rui Xiaoyi was going to concubine Rong Concubine pushed her into the water, but every sentence implied that Rui Xiaoyi pushed Concubine Rong into the water in a rage because of an argument with Concubine Rong.

Concubine Zhou Guifei listened by the side, and helped Rui Xiaoyi to say a few words: "Your Majesty needs to find out about this matter, so don't wrong a good man. Although Sister Rui is a bit impatient, she is really not serious at heart. Bad, sister Rui will conflict with sister Rongfei, it must not be the fault of sister Rui alone. Sister Rongfei's words are inappropriate, and sister Rui is angry for a while. It's just that sister Rui will "deliberately" treat Concubine Rong My sister is ruthless, but my concubine doesn't believe it."

Emperor Zhaode had only three or five points of doubt about Rui Xiaoyi at first, but after hearing what Concubine Zhou said, he became seven points: "Rui Xiaoyi doesn't have the brains to intentionally frame Concubine Rong. However, she has a hot temper, and her small temper has come up. Even I dare to show my face. Who knows if she accidentally pushed Concubine Rong into the water and refused to call for rescue! Concubine Rong is so calm, how could she speak inappropriately? Rui Xiaoyi must have provoked the incident! "

No matter how stupid Rui Xiaoyi was, after hearing Emperor Zhaode's questioning, how could she not understand that Concubine Zhou was speaking for her, but in fact she was giving her eye drops.Immediately, her hatred for Concubine Zhou Gui deepened a lot, which is why she defended Concubine Zhou Guifei in front of Emperor Zhaode at the same time.

Empress Xu also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou and Rui Xiaoyi have old grievances, and this matter has no direct relationship with Concubine Zhou, it is better to ask Concubine Zhou to avoid suspicion. If this matter is found out, it is indeed Rui Xiaoyi. What Yi has done, my concubine will never forgive Rui Xiaoyi, but if this is not what Rui Xiaoyi did... Those words of Concubine Zhou may be misunderstood."

"Why does this have nothing to do with the concubine? Concubine Rong is the adoptive mother of the concubine's son. Over the years, the concubine has not been able to take care of Xiao Qi. Thanks to the concubine Rong's careful care, Xiao Qi can be raised so well..." Concubine Zhou said Then, she wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief: "The concubine originally planned to thank Sister Rong Concubine, who knew that Sister Rong Concubine left so early... Sister Concubine Rong's great kindness to Concubine Chen, The concubine can't repay her in this life. All the concubine can do is to find the murderer for Concubine Rong, so that she can rest in peace."

"Really?" Empress Xu looked at Concubine Zhou with a half-smile.Over the years, Empress Xu has not improved.Maybe she still can't fight Concubine Zhou Gui now, but at least she has the strength to fight in front of Concubine Zhou Gui.

"How did I hear that, a few days before Concubine Rong's death, Concubine Zhou still wanted to take Xiao Qi back to her palace? Because Concubine Rong didn't want to, the atmosphere between Concubine Zhou and Concubine Rong couldn't be described as such. How wonderful. The emperor just told me that he intends to continue to keep Xiao Qi in Rong Concubine's Rong'an Palace, and something happened to Concubine Rong immediately... Those who don't know may think that this is all Concubine Zhou has calculated it."

"Empress, are you questioning my concubine? You are the lord of the six palaces, and my concubine respects you, but even you can't convict my concubine with empty words!"

"I don't dare to convict Concubine Zhou. How did Concubine Zhou speak for Rui Xiaoyi just now? I just followed suit. Why, Concubine Zhou thinks there is something wrong?"

Concubine Zhou can speculate on Rui Xiaoyi, why can't Empress Xu speculate on Concubine Zhou?If Concubine Zhou felt that Empress Xu did something wrong, then what she did just now was right?

The smile on Concubine Zhou's face froze: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but the empress's eloquence is getting better and better."

"This Palace still has a lot to learn from Concubine Zhou." Empress Xu said flatly.

Seeing that things were about to reach a stalemate, at this time, a court lady beside Rui Xiaoyi stood up and said, "Your maidservant can testify that it was my master who pushed Concubine Rong into the water. Master, although this servant girl wants to be loyal to you, I don't want to Betraying you, but this servant can't bear the hurdle in my heart...Concubine Rong...The concubine Rong died so badly!"

Rui Xiaoyi's face turned livid: "What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't even touched Concubine Rong with a finger, why did I push her into the water?"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to say to this kind of person who has been deceived by lard. She has accepted the benefits of others and is devoted to the Lord. No matter how much you tell her, it will be useless." Hongling reacted very quickly. Immediately stood up and retorted: "Two days ago, the servant saw this girl sneaking in contact with the people in Changchun Palace. At that time, the servant knew that this girl probably had a second heart. Looking at it now, it really is true. .”

"Your servant is not talking nonsense! Your Majesty, even if you don't believe what your servant said, you should believe the words of the person on duty by the Huaqing Pool. It is impossible for your servant and him to lie at the same time!"

"Your Majesty, although the concubine believes that Sister Rui is innocent, since even the people around her have come forward to identify her, in order to prove Sister Rui's innocence, we have no choice but to interrogate her."

Emperor Zhaode said with a livid face, "Rui Xiaoyi, do you have anything to say?"

Rui Xiaoyi looked at Emperor Zhaode nervously, sweat dripped from her forehead, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

At this point, how could she not know that the person on duty by the Huaqing Pool, as well as the rebellious palace maid next to her, might have been bribed early in the morning.Unfortunately, for a while, she couldn't come up with evidence at all.

Could it be that she is really going to be framed by Concubine Zhou with such despicable means today?
