Empress, she is rising step by step

"Who wants to harm Sister Zhu? It's so abominable."

Yan Qingshu frowned, "There must be someone who saw that Sister Zhu was a good family member, was jealous of Sister Zhu and was dissatisfied. They felt that Sister Zhu had taken away her favor, so they set up such a vicious plan. Brother Emperor. Queen Mother, you must do it. Let Sister Zhu make the decision."

Yan Qingshu ran over, hugged the Queen Mother's arm and shook it as if begging.

How could the Queen Mother not see that someone wanted to harm Zhu Ci, but ended up harming Wen Meiren instead.

The literary beauty deserved it. Who asked her to borrow Zhu Baolin's pipa? Her twists and turns were written all over her face. She knew exactly what her intentions were.

It's okay now. You shot yourself in the foot, and the people behind it finally benefited.

"Don't be impatient. Let's take a look at the Pipa first. It's possible that the strings may have loosened on their own."

Li Quan took the pipa over and Shen Que took a closer look at the broken strings. There were indeed signs of man-made damage. He plucked it and found that the strings were too tight.

Literary people who are not proficient in pipa will definitely think that this is a normal situation. There was a little more darkness in his narrow eyes.

"Where did you put this pipa?"

Zhu Ci said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine was placed in the side hall. The concubine only brought Zhuying to serve. It was inconvenient to hold the pipa, so she wanted to be more relaxed. Who knew...it was the concubine who harmed Wenmei... …”

People come and go in the side hall, and no matter what they do, they are easily seen. She took it lightly, thinking that no one would do something so blatantly.

Fortunately, Wen Meiren had a sudden idea and wanted to borrow her pipa, otherwise she would be the one who was disfigured. Yan Baolin was right. The other party obviously hated her, or maybe it was because she was Concubine Bai that she set up this plan.

A beauty's favor ends before she gets old. If her face is ruined, her favor will also be cut off.

"Sister Zhu, what does it have to do with you? Why do you blame yourself for all your mistakes?"

Yan Qingshu was dissatisfied with what Zhu Ci said about her. "Is it your fault that the dog bit you? Of course it's the dog's fault, and it should be beaten to death with a stick."

"Shu'er is right, it has nothing to do with you. Even if you are cautious, you can't stop others from wanting to harm others."

Shen Que had always known that the peaceful harem was actually full of undercurrents, but he just didn't want to cause too much embarrassment. He just pretended he didn't see it and let it go.

After all, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related. He even knew that some people were wronged and even knew who the murderer was, in order to stabilize the current government. I can only pretend not to know.

But today, in front of so many people, he dared to do something so blatantly. This shows that he is not taking the emperor seriously.

But who could it be? That person wanted to harm Zhu Baolin for two reasons. One is because Zhu Baolin is now in the limelight, and his doting on her has made some people dissatisfied.

The second reason is that Zhu Baolin belongs to the imperial concubine, and Zhu Baolin's favor means that the imperial concubine's party members are growing. Who could it be? There are few people in the harem who like the imperial concubine, and there are too many people who want to take action.

"I will give you and Wenmei an explanation for this matter."

Wen Yuanyuan's wailing sound could be faintly heard from the side hall, like a pebble suddenly falling into the lake, causing ripples in everyone's hearts.

The Queen Mother has returned to her usual expression, "You all go and see Wen Meiren first. The Ai family has something to say to the Emperor."

Zhu Ci looked at the expressions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and had no intention of going into details. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart.

Could it be that the emperor discovered something on the pipa? And he doesn’t dare to take action because of the other party’s identity or the forces behind him?

If something like this happened for no reason, the banquet couldn't go on, and I wasn't in the mood. In addition, the Queen Mother has said so, who dares not to listen? Zhu Ci followed everyone out of the hall, and Cao Wenxi walked beside her.

"It's good that my sister is fine. Wenmei has always been arrogant, and what happened to her today can be regarded as retribution for her many evil deeds."

Zhu Ci caught the flash of hatred in Cao Wenxi's eyes. She knew from the beginning that Cao Wenxi was not as gentle and well-behaved as she seemed. In fact, she had her own opinions and would take action for them.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost so much weight in just a few days. A Hu Xuan dance made the emperor completely remember her.

"But after all, Wen Meiren's injury was also caused by me, and I feel really sorry. I hope nothing happens to Wen Meiren, otherwise I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Cao Wenxi couldn't help but glance at Zhu Ci, "My sister is really kind-hearted."

It seems to be a strange yin and yang, but it also seems that it has no such intention.

Zhu Ci smiled softly, "After all, Wenmei has no grievances against me. Naturally, I hope that she will be well. Besides, the child in her belly is really innocent. If he is implicated because of his mother, it is really a shame." It’s heartbreaking.”

While talking, he had arrived at the side hall. After Dr. Feng treated Wen Yuanyuan's wounds, he saw that her mood was not stable, so he prescribed another dose of soothing medicine.

Wen Yuanyuan fell asleep quickly after drinking. Xu Tingyue and Yang Yunxi asked a few casual questions, and Hua Jingyun told everyone to disperse first, saying not to disturb Wen Yuanyuan's rest.

"Wenmei is really pitiful. There are so many scars on her face, it hurts just thinking about it."

Yu Jieyu shook her head and sighed: "A woman's face is the most important, I'm afraid... Fortunately, the child in Wenmei's belly is fine."

"Yu Jieyu, please stop worrying. Worrying too much will make you grow old easily."

Bai Xinrui yawned and glanced at Xu Tingyue intentionally or unintentionally.

"Karma and retribution have their own reincarnation. I know who wants to harm Wen Mei and Zhu Baolin. If you commit too many sins, sooner or later you will be punished. Let's just wait and see the good show. "

"Who says it's not the case? Although Wen Meiren is hurt, as long as there are children around. For the sake of the children, the emperor will not neglect Wen Meiren too much."

Cao Wenxi timidly said: "'If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later.' Maybe Wenmei's blessing is still to come."

"No matter how lucky a literary beauty is, I can't compare to you, Cao Baolin. Tangli lived in trouble, and you escaped by chance, and now you have won the emperor's affection with another Hu Xuan dance."

Yang Yunxi smiled slightly and said: "Just prepare well, maybe the emperor will order you to sleep with you tonight."

Cao Wenxi's cheeks were slightly red, "Concubine De, please stop joking about concubines."

"Why are you ashamed? Isn't it just for today that you practiced Hu Xuanwu so hard?"

Zhuang Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes, "I just don't know if you can serve the emperor? If the emperor asks you to serve the emperor for the first time, you will mess it up. That is really ridiculous."

A faint smile appeared on Cao Wenxi's delicate face, "I don't need Zhuang Cairen to worry about my concubine."

"Did you hear that, Zhuang Cairen! Cao Baolin said you should stay out of your own business."
