Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 497: Lonely Ghost (3)
At this time, without outsiders, Emperor Xian De seemed to have no scruples.

With a smile on his lips, he looked at Hui Xin playfully, and said in his mouth: "It's unnecessary, I still want to take this opportunity to talk to you for a while? I just don't know if you are willing to tell me truth."

When Huixin heard this, two blushes immediately appeared on her face, as if a layer of rouge had been applied, making her look even more beautiful. In her opinion, talking or something was just an excuse for His Majesty.

So, with a hint of shyness, he said softly: "Your Majesty wants to ask your servant anything, just ask, and your servant will know everything."

"Really?" Emperor Xian De asked lightly with a smile on his lips, but a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Hui Xin nodded shyly and said: "Your Majesty, slaves dare not lie."

"That's very good." Emperor Xian De nodded in satisfaction, "If that's the case, then you should tell me the truth about your origin!"

Huixin's face changed drastically, she raised her head suddenly, and looked at Emperor Xiande in horror, but when she met his eyes that seemed to know everything, she quickly lowered her head, and a panic arose in her heart——

Could it be that she showed some flaws and was discovered by His Majesty?No, it's impossible. In the past two years since she entered the palace, she has been cautious all the time. Even the empress, who was with her day and night, didn't find out. How could the emperor find out?

Yes, His Majesty must be lying to herself, and she must not mess herself up, otherwise everything will be over.

Huixin finally suppressed the panic and fear in her heart, forced a smile, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty was joking, this servant is just the daughter of a young scholar, what is the origin?"

Even though she tried her best to calm herself down, fine beads of sweat still appeared on her forehead, her face was extremely pale, and even her voice trembled slightly. It was obvious that she was extremely scared.

All of this was seen by Emperor Xian De, and he had completely confirmed his previous guess in his heart.

If her background was not tricky, she would never have this kind of reaction. I am afraid that she has already mentioned her background in full detail, how could she hide her guilt like this, and be so frightened that she is out of her mind.

After all, he only asked her to tell her background, and didn't ask anything else.

She had a guilty conscience, and she had such a big reaction because of thinking too much.

Emperor Xian De smiled coldly, and said: "I just want you to tell me about your birthplace and family situation, where did you go?"

So it is!Hui Xin relaxed immediately, she was really scared to death.

She was about to answer, but she heard Emperor Xian De say again: "However, your reaction is really suspicious, so I have to suspect that you are an assassin sent by others to assassinate me."

"No, Your Majesty, the concubine is not an assassin..." Huixin turned pale when she heard the words, lost her mind and resumed her previous self-proclaimed name.Obviously in her heart, she has always been the emperor's concubine, not some court lady.

When Emperor Xian De heard this, the interest in his eyes grew stronger, but he didn't intend to talk to her anymore.

Yang Yong immediately stood in front of Emperor Xian De, and shouted in his shrill voice: "Guard! There are assassins!"

As soon as the voice fell, a group of brocade-clothed guards rushed into Kunning Palace. Within a moment, they surrounded Huixin who had already been paralyzed in fright. wisdom.

These brocade-clothed guards are the Dongchang fan assigned by Jinyiwei to Dongchang.

Although the palace is dominated by the imperial horse prison army, Yang Yong, as the admiral of Dongchang, the chief eunuch of the chief of ceremonies, how could such a good thing happen to the imperial horse prison!Naturally, we have to use our own people.

At this time, Yang Yongfang took out a dagger from his arms with a smile, pulled it out, threw it on the ground together with the scabbard, and said: "This is the evidence that this lowly maid assassinated the Holy Majesty, take it back and interrogate her to see if she has any more Friends, who sent it?"

The queen had already been alarmed by the movement here, and walked in quickly with the help of the maid. Seeing the scene in front of her, she almost fainted, and asked with a pale face: "Your Majesty, what is going on? What did you do wrong? Why did you arrest her?"

Seeing Empress Ning, Huixin's eyes lit up, as if seeing the dawn, she immediately kowtowed in Empress Ning's direction and said, "Queen Empress, save this servant, this servant has been wronged."

With a slight smile on Emperor Xiande's face, he stroked the tea cup on the kang table in front of him and said: "Queen, this maid beside you is really courageous! First she poisoned me and tried to kill me, but I didn't fall for it, she couldn't do anything, She actually stabbed me with a dagger, but thanks to Yang Yong's escort, I was able to save my life. Shouldn't I arrest an assassin like this?"

After finishing speaking, he finally looked at Empress Ning, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Or, it was the empress' idea to kill Zhen and establish a new monarch?"

What she said scared Empress Ning out of her wits. If she was really convicted of this crime, not only would her life be lost, but the second prince and the Ning family would also be in trouble.Therefore, she no longer cared about pleading for Hui Xin, and even couldn't wait to get rid of Hui Xin, and immediately knelt down and cried for mercy, saying: "Your Majesty, my concubine is wronged, I really don't know that Hui Xin is so mad, trying to assassinate your majesty." , the concubines are also being deceived!"

"Injustice?" Emperor Xian De sneered, and said: "Don't say you don't know what's in this teacup? And that sachet on her body...do I need to continue talking?"

Empress Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then she opened her mouth to explain: "Your Majesty, this is just a little medicine for fun, it will not harm the body, let alone poison..."

"It seems that the empress really knows." Emperor Xiande stood up after speaking, and walked slowly to the kneeling empress with his hands behind his back, and said: "No matter what the medicine is, it is always true that the empress is involved. If I really If she got the trick, wouldn't it be easier for her to kill me? What's more, I hate people trying to control me and force me to do things I don't like, Queen, you don't know this, do you?"

"But Your Majesty, my concubine has good intentions too!" Empress Ning defended herself reluctantly.

"Good intentions? Are you talking about your kindness?" Emperor Xiande smiled lightly, "It is kindness to just put a woman who assassinated me on my bed? If the empress's kindness is like this, I would rather you never What kindness do you have for me?"

"Your Majesty, this concubine thought you liked Huixin, and that's why she wanted to fulfill her wish. Could it be that this concubine is also wrong?" Empress Ning said weeping.

Emperor Xian De sneered, "Which eye of yours has seen that I like her? Everything is just your self-righteousness. Empress, why didn't I know that you are such a sophistry person before?"

Empress Ning was ashamed, and wept silently.
