Without An Lingrong to accompany her to bed, there will naturally be tens of thousands of An Lingrong.

In order for Meizhuang to climb to the concubine position as soon as possible and bring down Concubine Hua who was in danger, An Lingrong also thought of many ways.

No, in the past few days, the emperor has turned over the cards, and those who go to the Yangxin Hall to serve are Meizhuang alone.

When Mei Zhuang returned to the palace the next day, he felt a little tired.

He slowly took off his jewelry in front of the dressing table and changed into a sapphire-colored plum blossom shirt with dark patterns.

The shirt was made of woolen satin and was as smooth as a girl's skin when worn. Under the candlelight, it had a faint smoky glow, as if thin clouds were clinging to her body in mist.

But she particularly liked the jade-white plum blossom pattern intertwined with dark green on the cuffs, which were outlined with extremely fine gold threads, giving it a subtle and vaguely luxurious and complex beauty.

Just like her thoughts at the moment, the strands were sewn together tightly, leaving no gaps.

Mei Zhuang held his chin and stared at himself in the mirror, suddenly feeling frightened.

The face that used to be docile and uncontested is now carefully painted with makeup.

The rouge on the cheeks was applied very thinly, first applying white pearl jasmine powder, and then dipping it in rose flower rouge, because the color of the rose was too bright, and the rose was thin, only the red rose with dew under the moonlight had its juice. It has such a nice light crimson color.

This rouge also has a name, it's called Rong Guxiang. It was made from an ancient recipe from the Tang Dynasty found in a fragrance shop outside. When applied on the face, it looks natural, like the graceful and charming woman from Wu. You can smell it before you see her. Its fragrant.

Such exquisite depictions naturally attracted the Emperor's Sacred Heart. It was also because she didn't really dress up in the past. Once she put her mind to it, she became so stunning.

But in the past, I was naive and naive.

Really, how long does it take?

Now, let alone others, even I look like a different person, with a different heart.

I just don’t know how Huan’er is doing now…

People, no matter how cheap they are, will always miss people they haven't seen for a long time.

While she was concentrating, she saw Caiyue coming in with hot water from the bronze mirror to help her wash. She was in a daze, so Caiyue said, "Is there anything else that makes my little master unhappy?"

Mei Zhuang took off his armor, soaked his hands in hot water, and said, "I have nothing to be unhappy about."

Caiyue carefully massaged her fingers.

"The young master doesn't like Huanbi's charming water snake figure in front of the emperor. Fortunately, Concubine An noticed this and sent Huanbi back to serve the noble prince, so the young master can rest in peace."

Meizhuang's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "What? Do you even think I'm afraid of Huanbi?"

Caiyue raised her face and said with a smile: "I don't believe that the young master can't tell that, except for the charming charm of a demon, the face of that girl Huanbi looks similar to that of the nobleman in the palace outside." Two or three points are similar."

Mei Zhuangben was wiping his hands with a snow-white hot towel. Upon hearing this, he threw the towel in his hand into the water, causing a half-foot-high splash to hit Caiyue in the face.

She said angrily: "The girl who wants to die is becoming less and less serious. Although Huan'er is in the palace, what is her status? How can you compare it to a lowly palace maid? Let me hear it next time If you say something like this, be careful, I will send you out of Cunju Hall immediately, and you will not be allowed to come in to serve you again!"

Caiyue has served Meizhuang for many years. She is loyal and has won the trust of Meizhuang.

Meizhuang is a very good-tempered person, and he has never seen her with such an angry face.

At that moment, Caiyue also panicked, slapped herself twice in the mouth, and said with a swollen face: "Little master, don't be angry, it's not worth it for me to be so angry for you. It's all my fault for not speaking seriously, I won't dare to do it again in the future."

Mei Zhuang then calmed down and said: "You must always remember that no matter where Huan'er is, she was the one who treated me best before entering the palace. If you want to separate us, you will be doing something stupid on your own." died!"

Caiyue was so frightened that she didn't dare to express her anger. She was busy waiting for the bed in Meizhuang to be folded and folded, and she lit the benzoin and said: "My dear master, it's not early, so please make arrangements early."

Meizhuang slowly combed his hair with a rhinoceros horn comb and asked abruptly: "Caiyue, you said that the emperor suddenly fell in love with Huanbi. Could it be that Huanbi and Huan'er are similar?"

Caiyue was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak, so Nuonuo responded and kept mumbling.

Mei Zhuang knew that she was frightened, so he also sighed and said: "Today, I am a bit more angry. There are so many people and things in the palace, how can there be nothing that does not cause trouble? You have served me for so many years, don't Just take it to your heart.”

Caiyue was startled. Although her face was hot, her heart also became hot. She said gratefully, "Don't say that, little master. I know that since the little master has been favored, there have been many things, so I will inevitably feel uncomfortable."

Meizhuang said sadly: "Maybe you are right. I just don't like the fact that there is someone who looks similar to Huan'er in front of the emperor. Because of this, the emperor is likely to think about Huan'er all the time and forget about Huan'er completely."

Caiyue agreed and didn't dare to say anything more.

Mei Zhuang sat on the bed, watched Cai Yue put down the curtains, and said, "I'm going to see the princess in the compartment. The emperor will come over for lunch tomorrow. You wake me up earlier so that I can prepare some special dishes myself."

Caiyue agreed to straighten and hang the curtains, and then put the embroidered rice-beaded soft-soled shoes on the outside of Meizhuang on the ground neatly before retreating to her place of vigil.

Meizhuang was coaxing the princess here, but little did he know that important events were happening outside Qianchao.

The affairs of Prince Dun and Nian Gengyao's faction were finally exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

And the emperor used very few people to capture them just right.

Suddenly, the previous dynasty was turbulent, and Cao Guiren in the harem saw an opportunity. Not long after, he went to the Queen's Palace and reported Concubine Hua.

The next day, the noble Cao Qinmo went to Jingren Palace to report to the Queen that Concubine Hua had poisoned Princess Wen Yi's horseshoe soup by adding cassava flour in Taiping Palace to frame Concubine An.

The queen said: "Since you know this, why didn't you tell me earlier and had to wait until now?"

Cao Guiren said: "The concubine didn't know about it, and she was deceived by Concubine Hua. She only thought it was someone else's fault. It wasn't until one day that the concubine heard Concubine Hua instructing Songzhi not to tell anyone that she knew."

"It's a pity that the concubine was accidentally discovered by the Concubine Hua. She threatened the concubine not to tell anyone, otherwise she would take the princess away and raise her."

Her cries made those who heard her cry.

"It's pitiful that Princess Wen Yi suffered such a crime at such a young age and almost lost her life. It's really heartbreaking for me to be a mother, and I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to raise the princess myself."

At that time, everyone had doubts about Princess Wen Yi's poisoning, but the emperor did not pursue it further.

The queen sitting high on the Diaoyutai sighed: "If this is true, Concubine Hua is really vicious. How could she do this to a little baby?"

Concubine Jing said helplessly on the side: "It's just that the palace man has been killed with a stick, and there is no evidence of his death.

Cao Guiren calmly wiped his tears and said, "Concubine Hua knew that the accusation was false that day, which shows Concubine Hua and Sima Zhao's heart. It's just pitiful that Wen Yi was taken advantage of like this in his infancy."

The queen looked at An Lingling and said, "Concubine An, this matter involves you, what do you have to say?"

An Lingrong stood up and bowed deeply, and said clearly every word: "I was indeed unjust in what happened that day." The queen nodded and said, "Sit down and find someone to invite Concubine Hua."

An Lingrong took a deep look at Cao Guiren. Princess Wen Yi's matter was already clear.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, everyone has their own doubts.

Mentioning it again just makes what follows easier to believe.

An Lingrong held a small flat gold hand stove in her sleeve. It was so hot and exuded a warm atmosphere, but a cold smile gradually formed on the corners of her lips.

Without Cao Qinmo, Concubine Hua is like an eagle that has lost its wings. She is reckless and has no direction, and only uses force.

As for Concubine Hua, who was bitten by Cao Qinmo, what will happen to her? An Lingrong smiled unconsciously.

An Lingrong turned around after hearing the sound and saw Concubine Hua hurried in, her face ashen.

She must have heard what Cao Guiren said just now, and she couldn't help but sneer.

Concubine Hua couldn't hold back her temper, she threw away the palace maid's hand and rushed in, giving Cao Guiren a loud slap in the face.

The queen shouted angrily: "Concubine Hua, what are you doing! You must not be arrogant in front of me!"

Concubine Hua ignored the queen and grabbed Cao Guiren and wanted to beat her again. She was pulled away by a group of palace maids and jailers, and she was still cursing: "What a bitch! How dare you betray me and slander me. I have wasted my years in vain." Be kind to you!"

Cao Guiren just hid behind Concubine Jing, whimpering like a mouse avoiding a cat.

Concubine Hua was pinned down on the seat by the powerful internal prison officer. Her eyes were blood-red and fierce, and she stared at Cao Guiren and cursed.

"Bitch! Have you forgotten who brought you to this position? Who worked so hard to please me? Is it in vain that I trust you so much?"

The queen stood up and said coldly to her left and right: "Remember, what Concubine Hua said herself is that she has a close relationship with Cao Guiren, so what Cao Guiren said is credible."

The Queen smiled: "Originally it was just Cao Guiren's words, so I may not believe it, but Concubine Hua yourself said that you trust Cao Guiren, which shows that the relationship is close, so what Cao Guiren said must be true."

After saying this, he said in a solemn tone: "Go back to the Emperor, and ask the Division of Shen and Punishment to interrogate Songzhi urgently."

Concubine Hua was stunned, like a clay-embedded wood sculpture. She felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses, and her eyes quietly swept over the cheeks of the concubines present. Her eyes were so sharp that people were shocked.

Her eyes finally fell on An Lingrong, and she shouted sternly: "Is it you? Or the Queen? Or which one of you? Instigated her to keep making false accusations against me!"

Meizhuang, who had received the news before, calmly looked back at her and said calmly: "No one wants to frame you? If you want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."

Concubine Hua pointed at the crowd with grief and anger and said: "You are adding insult to injury one by one, and everyone is pushing down the wall!"

The Queen's lips curved in a gentle arc, interrupting Concubine Hua and saying, "They brought it all upon themselves. Seeing you like this, I can't ask any questions."

She paused and then said: "Don't act like a shrew in the market. After all, you are still Concubine Hua."

The queen's skirt was as gorgeous as colorful clouds blowing across the ground. Concubine Hua's maids helped her slump into the sedan chair.

Xin Bin smiled happily next to An Lingrong: "I have been angry with her for so many years, and finally this day, I am really happy!"

One day, the corners of An Lingrong's lips twitched slightly.

Zhou Ninghai was once the most effective general manager and internal supervisor under Concubine Hua, and he was also extremely prosperous in the past.

But when it fell into the hands of the Division of Punishment, it would be the same no matter who it was. The Shenxingsi is the place where maids and imprisoners who have made mistakes are punished in the palace, and it is also the place for criminal trials.

That night, he received the emperor's decree that he could be tortured, and the queen personally ordered it. She worked harder, and before dawn, the people in Yikun Palace confessed.

The statements in the confession made the emperor furious. Not only did Cao Guiren complain about the cassava flour incident, making friends with ministers, pushing Meizhuang into trouble, and framing other concubines.

The queen took the confession and looked at it carefully, frowning and saying, "It's really too numerous to write down."

So he asked the emperor: "What does the emperor plan to do with Concubine Hua?"

There was silence for a long time, and the emperor said word by word: "Go and investigate! Any internal prisoner who has contact with Concubine Hua and behaves suspiciously will be executed with a cane! Concubine Hua's Nian family has been in the palace for a long time and has failed in moral conduct. The title will be revoked and demoted to Agree, move out of Yikun Palace and live in Yongxiang."

Hearing this, Meizhuang's heart sank, Your Majesty, he still can't let go.

The queen had already said warmly: "The emperor has a benevolent heart and treats the harem leniently. I expect that Nian will be able to change his ways. I will thank the emperor for Nian's promise."

The queen said softly: "Nian Zhengyi has always wanted to meet the emperor. Firstly, he wanted to make a complaint, and secondly, he wanted to ask the emperor to forgive his family."

The emperor pressed his lips tightly together, shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say to her anymore."

He suddenly turned around and asked Cao Guiren: "Since you know what she did, why didn't you tell her until now?"

Cao Guiren just lowered his head and said: "I don't dare. In the past, Concubine Hua was at the height of her power and was very domineering. She harmed many concubines. Under her power, the concubine could only keep silent to protect herself and the princess."

"Now that the princess is growing up, I don't want the princess to be held hostage like the concubine."

She kowtowed: "The life of the concubine is not worthy of pity, but the princess is the emperor's flesh and blood, and the emperor is at peace at this moment, so the concubine has the courage to report this matter to the queen."

Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but she spoke very movingly.

And after she said this, it seemed that the right time, place, and people were right, and coupled with her love for her daughter as a mother, it was even more convincing.

Sure enough, the emperor said: "Get up."

Concubine Xin sighed in a low voice: "The love of protecting the calf and the care of the family touches people's hearts."

Concubine Jing also said: "It is really aggrieved for Cao Gui to be coerced in order to protect his daughter."

This sudden farce is finally over.

After leaving the house, Meizhuang kept sighing as to why the emperor cared so much about Concubine Hua, and yet he hadn't completely killed her in such a vigorous and resolute manner.

An Lingrong sneered slightly: "One night and a hundred days of grace between husband and wife, not to mention that she has been favored for so many years, it is inevitable that the emperor will have old feelings."

Meizhuang gritted his teeth and sneered: "Fortunately, she is no longer Concubine Hua. An Lingrong will naturally have something to do."

An Lingrong was afraid that she would be impatient, so she hurriedly said: "Although she has been demoted, she is still a concubine after all. Don't be impulsive."

Mei Zhuang's smile was sweet but cold, and he said: "Of course, I won't put myself in danger."
