The villain queen she is wrong

Chapter 45 Argument
After the imperial physician made the diagnosis, he told the person in front of him: "Return to Your Majesty, the contents in this white porcelain vase are indeed red flowers."

Soon, Concubine Shu also came over.

At this time, she thought that His Majesty missed her, so she specially called herself over.

She twisted her waist, her body was enchanting, and she happily saluted the person above her: "I will see your Majesty."

Obviously, Concubine Shu directly ignored Xie Jintang's existence.

Xie Jintang deliberately coughed "cough"

At this time, Concubine Shu finally realized her existence, and her complexion changed again and again, which was ugly.

Why is she here? Could it be that His Majesty called him here for something else?
Suddenly, Concubine Shu noticed the person kneeling on the ground again, her face immediately became serious, no, isn't that Xia Yan.

At this moment, Concubine Shu suddenly felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't bear to think so much.

Reluctantly bowed to her: "My concubine sees the empress."

Xie Jintang said lightly, "Yes."

At this time, Xia Yan suddenly crawled towards Concubine Shu, wrapped her thighs unexpectedly, and regarded it as a life-saving straw, with a light of hope in his eyes, he said in a panic: "Ms. You instigated this servant to murder the empress, you said that if the matter is revealed, you will save this servant’s life, this servant still doesn’t want to die, so I beg you to save this servant.”

As soon as Concubine Shu heard what this servant said, she immediately understood the reason why His Majesty called her here.

The concubine Shu's maid at the side heard that the matter had been revealed, she immediately pulled the person away and reprimanded sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about, the empress doesn't know you at all, don't try to shirk the matter to the empress."

Concubine Shu knew that she absolutely couldn't admit this right now, so she pretended to be calm and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, empress, I don't know about this matter."

"I don't know why she wronged me, but I have never had the intention of murdering the empress. The world can learn from it. I also ask Your Majesty to return my innocence."

Xia Yan on the ground was extremely flustered, her head was shaking like a rattle drum, and she hastily retorted: "Your Majesty, no, no, this matter is really the concubine Shu's instigation of the servant girl."

Hong Dan slapped her hard, and said angrily again: "Baby maid, you don't have the right to speak here."

Xia Yan covered the left half of her face, with tears in her eyes, she looked at the person who beat her in disbelief, and felt more wronged.

Su Gonggong next to him sensed His Majesty's displeasure, and immediately yelled at Hong Dan: "Bold, Miss Hong Dan, Your Majesty and Empress are still here, and it's not your turn to be a maidservant here."

This person still thinks this is Shuluan Palace, so he doesn't wink at all, His Majesty's face is so dark.

She was so bold, she really was a maid in Concubine Shu's palace, she was exactly the same as Concubine Shu.

Eunuch Su kept complaining in his heart, frowned and glanced at Hong Dan, warning her to shut up.

Hong Dan knelt down and confessed her mistake: "I know my mistake, and I ask Your Majesty, Queen Mother, to forgive me."

Concubine Shu also came to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, Hong Dan just can't see that this woman framed my concubine, please forgive me."

Zhou Chengjing on the top didn't show his expression, he looked coldly at the people below, and said coldly: "Framing? Concubine Shu, open your eyes and see, what is this?"

Then, after getting the signal, Eunuch Su took down the hairpin and handed it to Concubine Shu.

He showed a professional smile, placed the hairpin in front of Concubine Shu, and then explained: "Ms. Concubine Shu, this hairpin was presented by Xia Yan, saying it was your reward for her."

When Concubine Shu saw the hairpin, she panicked, but she remained calm on the surface.

He replied calmly: "Return to Your Majesty, this hairpin was lost not long ago."

As soon as the words came out, before the others said anything, Xia Yan pointed at Concubine Shu, and retorted in a very fierce tone: "Nonsense, this is clearly given to the servant by Hong Dan herself, and she also promised the servant that as long as this matter is done Alright, I will send the slaves back to Shuluan Palace."

Hong Dan who was poked immediately knelt down and explained in a panic: "Returning to Your Majesty, this servant has never done this, let alone promised to bring Xia Yan back to Shuluan Palace. Previously Xia Yan was indeed a maid of Shuluan Palace, but later She was expelled from Shuluan Palace because of stealing empress' jewelry, maybe she also stole this hairpin, because she resented empress and kicked her out of Shuluan palace, so she wanted to bite empress back and drag empress into the water."

This statement sounds reasonable and well-founded at first glance, but it is full of loopholes when you listen carefully.

After all, Concubine Shu said that the hairpin was lost a few days ago, but when it came to Hong Dan's mouth, it turned out that Xia Yan had stolen it.

At this time, Xie Jintang said: "If I remember well, Xia Yan went to Concubine Shu Palace in February of the third year of Chongde, and was kicked out four months later, until she entered Fengluan Palace in February this year."

After a pause, she glanced at Hong Dan's flustered face, and then said slowly: "Since you said that the hairpin was lost a few days ago, Concubine Shu, why did Hong Dan say that Xia Yan stole it when she left the palace?" ?”

As soon as these words came out, Hong Dan became even more flustered, and Concubine Shu was not much better.

Seeing the opportunity, Xia Yan immediately cried out: "Your Majesty, the theft that Hong Dan said was intentional, the slave did not really steal, but Hong Dan said that there must be one who will drive the slave out." This is an excuse, the servant was stunned at the time, so I agreed to come down, and later went to the empress's palace, and I also did it on purpose, and I also ask His Majesty to return the servant to be innocent."

She was really anxious, after all, if she didn't make it clear, it would be adding to the crime, and the ending would definitely be death.

Since Concubine Shu is not benevolent, don't blame her for being unrighteous. Why don't you tell all these old things in order to blame Concubine Shu for everything, maybe you can escape death this way.

Hong Dan immediately defended herself: "No, the maidservant only guessed that Xia Yan stole the hairpin, and almost all the maids in the palace knew about Xia Yan's theft, so it couldn't have been a conspiracy."

These two people talked to each other, so that others couldn't get in a word.

At this time, Zhou Chengjing's eyes were slightly dark, and listening to the debate between the two, his face was extremely ugly.

Su Gonggong next to him had cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and from the corner of his vision, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the cold air emanating from His Majesty.

But Concubine Shu underneath was thinking about how to shirk the guilt.

After careful consideration, she decided to sacrifice Hong Dan. She glanced at Hong Dan and made up her mind.

There is no other way, this matter must be picked clean by myself, but Xia Yan is really difficult to entangle, if I knew today, I shouldn't have buried this move, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will pull out more If there are too many things, His Majesty will order someone to investigate thoroughly at that time, it is better to stop the loss in time.

After Concubine Shu figured it out, she pretended to be unbelievable, and asked in shock: "Hongdan, what Xia Yan said is serious, did you really do that?"
