Empress, she is rising step by step

"Oh, you are really good at confusing right and wrong. I and the sisters all see the truth of the matter."

Bai Xinrui smiled, with contemptuous eyes, "The emperor is not here, so why do you bother to play such a sad drama? You are worried that if Xiao Hezi resents you, he will tell you all the dirty things you have done in the past. "

Xu Tingyue met Bai Xinrui's gaze without fear.

"The empress knows better than the concubine herself what she has done. Since the empress has spoken so categorically, you can just report it when the emperor comes. The concubine firmly believes that the pure will self-purify, and it cannot be destroyed with just a few words. Those who lose the reputation of concubines."

Bai Xinrui stared at Xu Tingyue with deep hatred in her eyes. After a long moment, she smiled suddenly.

"Just because I have no evidence now does not mean that there will be no evidence in the future. If I were you, I would rather be buried in Shekou than push out a slave who is loyal to me."

Xu Tingyue bit the soft flesh inside her lips, "I told you that what happened back then had nothing to do with me. It was not my fault at all."

The two looked at each other, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger. Yu Jieyu nuzzled her mouth at Zhuang Xiaoxiao. Neither of them spoke, only looking at their noses and hearts.

When Bai Xinrui and Xu Tingyue were at war with each other, Shen Que also arrived. Yang Yunxi and Cao Wenxi followed closely behind.

Shen Que came in a hurry, his face was dark and sulky, and the rain was about to come.

Also, just after the incident with Wen Meiren happened, Kowako was bitten by a poisonous snake. One thing was just a coincidence. The two accidents coming together was obviously someone's deliberate move.

One wave after another, Shen Que glanced at the crowd with a heavy gaze.

"I heard everything from Concubine De and Cao Baolin. Concubine, are you okay? I heard that you almost fell."

Bai Xinrui shook her head. Seeing that Shen Que's face was extremely ugly and he was obviously very angry, she didn't dare to say anything.

"I'm fine, thanks to Zhu Baolin. If Zhu Baolin hadn't protected me regardless of the danger, I would have been..."

Before Bai Xinrui finished speaking, Shen Que already understood what she wanted to say.

He turned around and stared at Zhu Ci, "How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"

Yan Qingshu was the first to say: "Sister Zhu accidentally hurt her hand when she was rescuing the imperial concubine. It hurts so much when she moves, and I don't know if the injury hurts the bones."

"It's just a minor injury, I'm fine." Zhu Ci just said lightly, not eager to take credit.

"It's really lively today. The beautiful lady was injured on the face by the pipa, and she is still in a coma. A poisonous snake suddenly appeared on Lingxiao Island and bit the palace people. It's really strange."

Shen Que walked to the armchair, lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down.

"I have lived in the palace for so many years, and this is the first time I know that there are poisonous snakes in the palace! I really need to open my eyes."

He sneered, "Li Quan, have you caught all the snakes?"

Li Quan hurriedly stepped forward, not daring to express his anger. "As for the emperor, I only caught one. I don't know where the other one went. The palace and the guards on the island are searching for it. I think they will catch it soon." Arrived."

"Tell them to hurry up and don't hurt the wife and the queen."

Shen Que frowned, and Li Quan brought a sack up, walked to Shen Que and opened a gap.

Shen Que only took one glance and got a rough idea. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be an iron-headed snake. When I was young, I fought in all directions and saw a lot of them. This kind of snake usually grows in the humid and rainy south. Chang'an is the Central Plains. How could it appear in the palace?" Zhuang Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it at first, but after hearing what Shen Que said, his heart suddenly thumped. When she wanted to borrow venomous snakes to kill Zhu Ci, she asked someone to find a way to bring in two venomous snakes from outside the palace.

According to the man, the two snakes grow in the south and are highly venomous. Once bitten, within half an hour, he will vomit blood from his internal organs and die.

She hadn't heard about anything happening in Qifeng Palace for a long time, and she saw Zhu Ci jumping around so much that she didn't want to find out about the snake.

Then she thought about who knew where the two stray dogs had gone. She was afraid that something might happen, so she had been sending people to keep an eye on them in the past few days. I didn’t expect to appear on Lingxiao Island and cause such a big fuss!

It shouldn't be traced to her, right? !

Shen Zhinian said: "It's indeed strange. Zhu Baolin's pipa suddenly broke, accidentally injuring Wenmei. Just now we encountered a poisonous snake. How could it be such a coincidence that they all happened on the same day."

"Why else? Someone must be trying to do evil during the Dragon Boat Festival when the concubines and the Emperor and the Queen Mother are all around, in order to achieve their own ulterior motives.

The emperor and the queen mother were both here, and it was still like this. If the emperor and the queen mother were not here, it is uncertain what would happen. "

Shen Que's expression became darker with Bai Xinrui's words.

Bai Xinrui's tone was full of worry and fear, "Your Majesty, you must investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter what the purpose of the other party is to do this, it is clear that his intention is to be punished. If the real culprit is not found, I will I’m worried that the harem may never have peace!”

Shen Que slowly held the tourmaline and pearl eighteen bracelets in his hand, with tassels of rice beads hanging from the four sides. His face was covered with a thick layer of gloom.

"Who suggested going to see the flowers?"

Bai Xinrui replied: "Your Majesty, it's my concubine. After I and the sisters went to see Wenmeiren, I wanted to relax and take a look at the sky blooming on the island. But I didn't invite you. All sisters go."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright eyes swept over everyone one by one, finally landing on Yang Yunxi.

"It's Concubine De, who suggested that we go to enjoy the flowers together."

Yang Yunxi never expected that such a thing would happen. Seeing Bai Xinrui pointing the finger at herself, she took a step forward and bent her knees.

"Your Majesty, I just wanted to finally come to Lingxiao Island. The sisters were frightened by what happened to Wenmeiren just now, so it would be nice to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Who would have expected that such a thing would happen, and I am also quite excited about it. Terrified."

Her eyes were open and unafraid. If it wasn't her, it wasn't her, and she had nothing to feel guilty about.

Shen Que signaled Yang Yunxi to get up first. Zhu Ci wanted to get up, but Yan Qingshu helped her up quickly with quick eyes and hands.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Shen Que's eyes softened subconsciously when he looked at Zhu Ci.

"What do you want to say?"

"Actually, it's not difficult to know who did this. As the emperor said, this iron-headed snake is not common. Then someone must have managed to buy it from the snake market and bring it into the palace."

Zhu Ci's amber pupils shrank slightly, and sunlight penetrated the six-diamond grid and fell on her face, making it mottled.

"I just feel chilled. Only when the harem is stable can the emperor feel at ease. If the harem is in turmoil, the emperor will also be worried. If the person who planned all this has any dissatisfaction, he can explain it to the empress. The empress has always been generous to others, and she will do the same if she thinks about it. Be considerate and lenient.”
