Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 45 Xiao Yinzi was beaten

"Sister Cao, don't worry. I heard that the Queen only meant to investigate the area strictly, and did not confirm that it was someone living in Weiyang Palace who did it."

Yan Qingshu didn't know that Cao Wenxi lived in Weiyang Palace. If he knew, he wouldn't be able to tell her about it even if he killed her. If it was really Sister Cao who did it, wouldn't she have tipped off the bad guys?

"And there are literary beauties. What is Sister Cao afraid of? You are not afraid of slanted shadows if you are upright. As long as Sister Cao behaves upright, the emperor brother will definitely restore your innocence."

"Yan Baolin said it lightly. The problem is not your fault, so you naturally think it's fine. Even if something happens, the Queen Mother will take care of it for you."

Cao Wenxi's mind was in a mess. Wen Meiren has always been full of inexplicable hostility towards her, so it would be nice not to deliberately frame her, and she does not expect her to prove her innocence.

"What if the Queen and the Emperor decide that I did it and make me the scapegoat? I haven't even seen the Emperor a few times. If I die in confusion, wouldn't my life be wasted? .”

Zhu Ci saw Cao Wenxi crying nonstop, as if she was about to die in an instant, and her patience was a little exhausted.

"Sister Cao, things haven't reached the point of no return yet. You should calm down and think about what you should do if the emperor attacks you. If someone really wants you to be a scapegoat, it will be useless even if you shed your tears. "

"But what can I do? I have no family to rely on, and my father can't speak in the court. He is just a dispensable person."

Cao Wenxi was sobbing, and the makeup at the corners of his eyes was a little smudged and smudged pink.

"I'm not as favored as you, my sister. If the emperor really punishes me, even if I have extraordinary abilities, it won't be of any use."

Zhu Ci frowned, feeling a little impatient in her heart. She hated people who only cried when something happened. If crying was useful, people wouldn't have to pray to God or Buddha.

Besides, the situation is not unbearable, and maybe nothing will happen at all.

Yan Qingshu reached out and stroked Cao Wenxi's back, "Sister Zhu is right, you have thought of the worst outcome before it happened. Aren't you scaring yourself? The emperor's brother is a wise king, I dare to use The head on my neck guarantees that I will never wrong you."

Cao Wenxi still couldn't stop thinking wildly, but Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu took turns trying to persuade her and were extremely patient. If she was crying and not playing, they would both be impatient.

Maybe her luck wouldn't be so bad. It was obvious that someone else had casually left something near Weiyang Palace. The emperor has never seen anything, so how could he be fooled by this little trick.

Cao Wenxi gradually stopped crying and said, "I feel better. Maybe you are right. I am worried in vain."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the noise outside and chaotic footsteps coming straight towards this direction.

Xiao Yinzi saw Xu Tingyue Wuyangyang storming in with a large group of people, and knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"My slave, please come to see Concubine Shu." He said loudly.

Xu Tingyue glanced at Xiao Yinzi, "Is your master here?"

"The imperial concubine was frightened yesterday. My master took Zhuying to Yongfu Palace early in the morning and was not in the palace."

Xiao Yinzi pretended to be calm, "I don't know what Concubine Shu wants to do with the master. You can tell the slave. When the master comes back, the slave will convey it to the master."

Xu Tingyue said nothing, staring coldly at Xiao Yinzi, her dark eyes as sharp as two sharp swords. She took a step forward slowly.

Xiao Yinzi's scalp was numb from being stared at, and his back felt chilly. He took a step back and bent even lower. "Really?" The breeze blew the veil on Xu Tingyue's face, her red lips opened slightly, and her beautiful eyebrows raised angrily.

Suddenly, she raised her hand high and slapped her head and face hard.

"Pah!" The slap came so fast and suddenly that Xiao Yinzi was completely unprepared.

His feet were unsteady and he staggered, trying to regain his balance.

"Shameless thing! You, like your master, don't tell the truth. When I came in just now, I clearly heard a woman crying, and you still said that your master is no longer there? You are full of lies. Your master is a coward. If you confuse your master, this slave is also a liar. Give me a break!"

Xu Tingyue knocked aside Xiao Yinzi and led the people inside. Xiao Yinzi hurriedly followed.

"Shu Fei, please be careful on the steps. Water has just been poured on the ground, so be careful!"

Xu Tingyue went straight into the Yuehua Hall, and Zhu Ci and others quickly stood up and bowed to salute.

"I've seen Concubine Shu." Zhu Ci knew what Xu Tingyue was doing when she saw her. She was just putting on a show, so she could only pretend to be afraid.

Zhu Ci asked hesitantly: "I don't know what kind of advice Concubine Shu has to do to bring a group of people to Qifeng Palace?"

Yan Qingshu held Cao Wenxi's hand uneasily. After all, Cao Wenxi was older than her and had seen some big scenes, so she was relatively calm. She gently patted the back of Yan Qingshu's hand, telling her not to worry.

"Any advice? Humph, you are still pretending to be a coward with me."

Xu Tingyue pursed her lips tightly and her face was livid, "I want to ask you, what did you add to the Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder that you gave me that day? Not only did I not get better after using it, but it actually got worse."

Zhu Ci was shocked and confused, "Why did the Concubine Shu say this? I can't understand. I just thought that the Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder was effective, so I gave it to you. As for the rash on the Concubine's body, why?" It’s getting worse, I really don’t know.”

Xu Tingyue raised her hand and clapped her hands a few times, "What a good show. If I had no evidence, I would have been deceived by you. I just said that you are so good, why are you willing to take refuge in me? It turns out that all this This is all a poisonous plot set up by you and the imperial concubine. It’s all my fault that I trusted you, otherwise I wouldn’t have fallen into your trap.”

"The concubine really didn't do it. The concubine misunderstood. Maybe there is some misunderstanding. If the concubine insists that it was the concubine, the concubine has no way to defend herself."

Zhu Ci raised her head and looked directly at Xu Tingyue. Although she was very angry, she still tried her best to endure it.

"Since I have evidence, I can give it to the Queen. If it is really my concubine's fault, I am willing to die to atone for my sins."

Xu Tingyue walked up to Zhu Ci. She was already tall, and standing in front of Zhu Ci immediately blocked most of the sunlight in front of her.

Zhu Ci felt a little chilly. Her eyelashes trembled violently, as if she were scared. She could clearly see the pattern of albizia flowers embroidered on Xu Tingyue's dress and the rich fragrance on her body.

Xu Tingyue grabbed Zhu Ci's chin and forced her to look up at him.

"There's no one else here, so stop pretending. I'm not the emperor, so I won't accept your pitiful behavior. I'm going to die to atone for my sins. How can I make you happy with such a cheap way of death? I want you to survive. You can't die! I want to see what Concubine Bai can do for you."
