Chapter 315 Murdering the Emperor's Heir
Concubine Pei Gui was still sobbing and crying, but Concubine Ming over there suddenly sighed and reminded quietly: "Sister said so much, but these don't prove that you didn't poison—"

"Shut up! I didn't poison you at all, why do I have to prove it?" Concubine Pei turned her head and gave her a vicious look.

Concubine Ming squeezed her handkerchief, and immediately shut her mouth obediently.

Concubine Pei turned her head to look at the emperor, and the tears fell down again: "Your Majesty! The concubine is really wronged! It must be that the Zhao family is dissatisfied with this marriage and cannot shirk it, so they hold a grudge and secretly unite with Concubine Shu and Princess Concubine The two of you designed to frame the concubine together! The purpose is to make His Majesty snub the concubine and the Pei family from now on——Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has such a vicious heart, she even did not hesitate to hurt her own child in order to bring down the concubine! Poor Nan Xing The princess is only so young, yet she has to endure such pain..."

The emperor's breath suddenly turned cold: "Young concubine, you can't say such words casually!"

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not talking nonsense!" Concubine Pei grabbed the emperor's hand, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and said eagerly: "Think about it, your majesty, the concubine already has the power of the six palaces, even the concubine Shu Being favored will not threaten the status of the concubine, so why should the concubine make things difficult for her!"

"Let's talk about it!" Concubine Pei regained her composure after crying loudly, "The concubine wants to frame her, why use such a clumsy method, who can't use it, but use the maid beside her? This Lan Ruo, oh That's right! This Lan Ruo, the concubine once punished her for kneeling! It must be that Lan Ruo has a grudge against the concubine and conspired with the two of them in order to bring down the concubine!"

The emperor frowned: "Crown Princess, how do you explain it?"

"The concubine's words sound reasonable." The queen mother laughed, and said lazily in a drawn-out tone: "The Ai family remembers that Lan Ruo committed a crime in Changxin Palace and was punished by the Ai family to do chores in the imperial dining room. Therefore, I got Concubine Shu's blue eyes and transferred her to the Pearl Mirror Hall. From this point of view, Concubine Shu's affection for Lan Ruo is not so deep!"

As he spoke, he cast a sideways glance at Lan Ruo, and said coldly: "If Lan Ruo is so kind, if Lan Ruo still betrays, wouldn't she be cut into pieces?"

Lan Ruo trembled in fright, and immediately threw herself on the ground: "The Queen Mother, spare me!"

Zhao Xiwei's eyes were fixed, and there was an indescribable feeling of weirdness.

Concubine Pei snorted coldly, showing a bit of complacency: "Crown Princess, Your Majesty asked you to explain, why are you dumb?"

She didn't believe it anymore, a little girl wanted to overthrow her as a noble concubine!
Facing her disdain, Zhao Xi smiled lightly: "I don't know if what the imperial concubine said just now is true or not?"

"That's natural!" Concubine Pei felt an indescribable joy after trying her best to turn the tide.

"Okay." Zhao Xi nodded slightly, and reconfirmed: "There are two things that the imperial concubine said just now. First, there is a private grudge between the Zhao family and the Pei family, and second, there is a private grudge between Lan Ruo and the imperial concubine. That's right. Bar?"

"Yes, that's what I mean!"

Zhao Xiwei bowed to the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine and empress have finished speaking, and I have nothing to explain. However, may your majesty listen to the witness again?"

"Okay." The emperor agreed in a gentle voice.

Zhao Xiwei raised his chin to Lan Ruo: "Explain to Your Majesty how the princess was poisoned and what kind of poison she was poisoned by!"

"Yes."

Lan Ruo didn't know whether she was frightened by the queen mother's words or was too nervous in front of the emperor. At this time, her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood on her forehead, and her forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. Like seedlings.

Can such a person really give a more exciting testimony than the imperial concubine?

Everyone's eyes flickered, full of suspicion.

However, when she opened her mouth, everyone couldn't help correcting their expressions.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, and I will only pick up the most important things and briefly say a few words..." She fell on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to the emperor twice, and said slowly: "Two One day a month ago, the servant girl was cultivating daffodils in the greenhouse, and the imperial concubine sent someone to say that she wanted to bring some pots to enjoy. The servant girl thought about the concubine Shu in her heart, so she discussed with them, saying that she would wait for the next morning in person Is it okay to send it over? The little servant agreed at the time. Unexpectedly, within a quarter of an hour, the imperial concubine came to the concubine in person and smashed all the pots of narcissus in the servant... Your Majesty, that is the servant who has been careful all day and night Take care of the few pots of top-quality narcissus that have just been cultivated! The servant girl was heartbroken at the time, so she cried out anxiously, who knew that the imperial concubine was not relieved, and punished the servant girl to kneel for a day and a night..."

The emperor looked at Concubine Pei: "Is this the kneeling punishment you just said?"

Concubine Pei was used to arrogance, she gave Lan Ruo a hard look, and said disapprovingly: "Yes, it's just a punishment to kneel! Who would have thought that this lowly servant girl has a grudge in her heart, so she slanders the concubine! Your Majesty, you must decide for the concubine! "

The emperor gave a "hmm" and didn't speak.

Concubine Pei didn't notice the emperor's displeasure at all, instead she looked happy: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xiwei couldn't help but think secretly, it's really miraculous that Concubine Pei can become the head of the four concubines...

Lan Ruo also slandered: "This noble concubine really has no virtue at all. It is the worst thing for a royal family to be beaten and scolded by a concubine. Why is she still so complacent?"

As soon as he turned his gaze, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Xiwei.

Immediately my body froze, remembering how harshly the Crown Princess slapped someone...

Looking at the Crown Princess's drooping eyebrows and her supple face, no one could believe that she could do more powerful things than Concubine Pei.

Lan Ruo's heart jumped again.

If I offend the concubine today, at least I can gain the trust of the concubine and concubine Shu.

But if she protected the noble concubine, she would offend the crown prince, concubine Shu, and even His Royal Highness at the same time.

Comparing the two, he is a fool and knows how to choose the most cost-effective.

Lan Ruo lost her mind for a moment, and the concubines in the palace couldn't bear it anymore.

Concubine Ming half-covered her mouth, as if she had suddenly realized: "Oh! So it was Lan Ruo who poisoned her, and then planted it on the concubine's sister?" She sighed helplessly again, "Ke Lanruo is so kind and repaying her revenge, is she worthy of my sister Concubine Shu? ?”

"Concubine Ming..." The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and lazily accepted her words, "How do you know that Lan Ruo's actions are not repaying kindness? Ai's family has been in the harem for decades, and the concubines are fighting each other. I went there, and the method has not changed back and forth.”

This is tantamount to directly pointing out that Concubine Shu ordered Lan Ruo to poison the little princess, and then blamed it on the concubine.

The more Concubine Pei thought about it, the angrier she became. She stared fiercely at Lan Ruo, then stood up suddenly, and slapped her: "You lowly maidservant! You are such a coward for killing the emperor's heir and framing the concubine!"
