Chapter 194 Clues
Gu Zhaoyi kept shaking her head, hoping that the emperor would trust her, but in the end, she was still disappointed.

The emperor thought for a long time, then looked at Gu Zhaoyi and said, "Gu Zhaoyi is indeed very suspicious. As Concubine Qing said, the biggest difference between you and Liu Zhaoyi is that you know my habits, but Liu Zhaoyi doesn't, and only the one who knows my habits Only people can make arrangements in advance and wait for the drinks to be brought in."

"Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged, my concubine was really wronged, and my concubine did know about the emperor's habit, but who would have thought of using it to harm others? Besides, there are so many people in the harem, is there no one who wants to please you?" Did the emperor ask about the emperor's physical condition? If so, most of the concubines in the harem should know that the emperor has this habit. It is impossible to say, because the concubine entered the palace early, and he must be guilty. I beg the emperor to check it out. !"

The queen nodded, looked at the emperor and said, "Your majesty, my concubine thinks that Gu Zhaoyi's words are reasonable. Maybe I just made a conclusion. There are already many people in the harem. My sisters want to know more about the emperor. It's justifiable, so it's normal for other sisters to know about the emperor's habit."

The emperor frowned and thought for a while: "Then let's listen to other things, Gu Zhaoyi, I hope what you said is true."

"What the concubine said is true. The concubine has never done anything. I beg the emperor to trust the concubine."

The emperor naturally wouldn't say he believed her, and now he really didn't believe anyone. He looked at the court lady Hongxia again, and asked, "Besides Gu Zhaoyi, you said there is Liu Zhaoyi, what's the matter?"

The palace lady looked at Liu Zhaoyi, she seemed to be a little scared, but when the emperor was here, she became more courageous and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this happened on the day of the banquet. The emperor came back from hunting and said that there will be a banquet tonight." Beauty Juan was very happy to hear about this matter, and told her servant that the star dance she had just learned could come in handy. The beauty lady also said that she hoped the emperor would like it, and therefore forgive her for disrespecting the queen lady a few days ago. "

The emperor nodded in a deep voice: "Although beauty Juan speaks bluntly, she is still pure in nature. Some things are wrong, and she knows to reflect on herself. What happened later? How did she get involved with Liu Zhaoyi?"

"It happened that Liu Zhaoyi was passing by, and the beauty lady asked her servants to call Zhaoyi lady to come in, and help her see what to wear at night. The beauty lady was going out of the palace this time, and she was ready to dance the star dance for the emperor. I planned to dance for the emperor alone when the emperor took the empress to ride a horse to see the scenery, but the empress knew that she had done something wrong, the emperor would not take the empress to see the scenery, so she wanted to find a suitable opportunity to dance for the emperor look."

"Sigh, I'm too fussy. To put it bluntly, Juanmei is still a little girl with such a natural nature, so she can be regarded as outspoken and cute."

"The beauty has been blaming herself all the time, and the emperor hasn't come to see her these days, so she was depressed for a while, just looking for this opportunity, she was very nervous, and then thought of letting the lady Zhaoyi come in to have a look, but unexpectedly, After seeing a few sets of clothes, Lady Zhaoyi's eyes were full of sarcasm, and she even asked the beautiful lady directly, could it be that she learned the star dance in a brothel?"

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Liu Zhaoyi coldly: "Did you say that?"

Liu Zhaoyi bowed her head submissively, and said in a low voice: "The concubine has said it, but the concubine is telling the truth. The clothes prepared by Juanmeiren are really vulgar. Last night's clothes were considered the most conservative. Your majesty, minister." As a harem woman, my concubine has always followed the etiquette system, so I naturally felt that such clothes were too much, so I couldn't help but say a few words to her."

"Just said a few words to her?"

Liu Zhaoyi's face was a little unnatural: "The concubine admits that some things were said too much, but at that time the concubine was also angry, so she spoke quickly."

"Quick talk?"

"Your Majesty, your concubine..."

"I ask you!" Before Liu Zhaoyi finished speaking, the emperor interrupted her and asked, "Why do you want to humiliate Juanmei because of a piece of clothing? She's close, and they're all kind on the surface, but isn't it weird that you say that about her because of a piece of clothing? Normally, if you really think Juanmei's clothes are indecent, then that's fine too. Reminders, not bad words!"

"Your Majesty, the concubine is just a temporary fit."

"Is it a moment of anger? From my point of view, Liu Zhaoyi clearly has a long-standing grudge against Juanmei, so she suddenly exploded and humiliated Juanmei. Am I right?"

"There are no concubines, Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Concubine Liu and the Empress looked at each other, Concubine Liu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, if you say it like this, this concubine really thinks it's possible."

"Aifei, let's listen."

"Your majesty and all the sisters should still remember that before the beauty Juan entered the palace, the emperor often summoned Liu Zhaoyi, but since the beauty Juan came, it is not a new thing for the emperor to favor the beauty Juan only in the harem. Liu Zhaoyi may have been at that time I have some resentment towards Juanmei.”

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and turned to Liu Zhaoyi coldly: "Liu Zhaoyi, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, the concubine was wronged. You can't conclude that this matter was done by the concubine just because of Concubine Liu's conjecture. There is really no concubine. Your majesty, you have to trust the concubine."

Liu Zhaoyi never imagined that her prejudice against Juanmei would become a target of public criticism.Suddenly panicked.

The queen smiled gently and said: "Your Majesty, after all, it is a matter of human life. The concubine thinks that it is better to ask clearly before talking about it. Don't wrong the good people, and don't help the bad people."

"Well, what the queen said is right, Liu Zhaoyi, you don't have to rush to complain, if you really haven't done it, I won't do anything to you, but if you really did it, you still won't admit it, but wait until the truth comes out At that time, I will not forgive you lightly."

Liu Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "The concubine knows that the concubine never poisoned Juanmei. The concubine can swear."

"I don't need to swear, what I care about is evidence." After speaking, the emperor looked at the other court ladies and servants, and shouted, "Who is the one who brought the wine in the morning?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the palace maid kneeling behind Hongxia trembled violently, climbed up step by step, kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Go back to the emperor, it was brought by the servant."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and shouted: "I haven't done anything to you yet, why are you shaking like this, could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

I don't know if the maid was really guilty or was willing to do something else. After hearing this, she was so frightened that she burst into tears on the spot, shouting in a broken voice: "The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life!"
