Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 75
There were palace lanterns swaying outside the palace, and the sound of footsteps whizzed over. The palace gate was wide open, and two rows of palace people carrying palace lanterns came surrounded by a woman, dressed in a phoenix costume, who is it not the queen?
The queen's expression was disconcerting and self-indignant, and when Mu Wan went out to greet her, many palace people came down one after another, saying, "The empress is safe."

"Get up, who can tell me what happened to this palace? It's so late to make such a mess!" the queen asked as she walked.

Just as Mu Wan wanted to speak out, Chen Wanyi's close maid cried and knelt down in front of the queen, crying, "I beg your mother to be the master of my master. It was the Huanqing pool that Zhaogui pushed my master down!"

The queen looked suspiciously at the silent Mu Wan, and said in a deep voice, "How is Chen Wanyi?"

The imperial doctor walked out of the curtain, bowed to the queen, and said: "My lady, Chen Wanyi is fine, it's just that she fell into the water and poured a lot of water before she became unconscious. I believe she will recover after a while." Wake up!"

Mu Wan raised her eyebrows, looked at the court lady displeased, then turned her mind, and whispered a few words to Luoxue who was behind her. After hearing this, Luoxue was a little hesitant, but lightly agreed.

The queen looked over and asked, "Concubine Zhaogui, what's going on?"

Mu Wan was not in a hurry, she blessed herself slightly, and said respectfully: "Go back to the empress, today I received a note from Chen Wanyi's order, saying that I will have a gathering at Huanqing Lake at midnight tonight, and I have something important to tell my ministers." Concubine, although the concubine was suspicious at the time, she was still ready to go to the appointment on time. When the time was near, she went to Huanqingchi and met Chen Wanyi. Xue, followed Chen Wanyi to the Huanqing Pool, but she didn't expect that Chen Wanyi would jump down, and said that the emperor would be suspicious of his concubine and no longer love his concubine."

As soon as Mu Wan's words fell, everyone's expressions changed. They didn't expect Mu Wan to be so direct. For a while, the queen was not easy to judge.

Gu Minglang at the door was in a daze, and he listened inadvertently.

At this time, a weak voice came from behind the curtain, and Chen Wanyi woke up.

Mu Wan sneered, Chen Wanyi woke up just in time.

The queen came into the tent and said softly: "Concubine Zhaogui said that you jumped off Huanqing Pond by yourself, what happened?"

Chen Wanyi was shocked, with three or four tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, with a look of fear, she said sadly: "I beg the empress to be the master of the concubine, how dare the concubine jump into such a deep Huanqing pool, it was the concubine Zhaogui who pushed the concubine into the water !"

Glancing at Mu Wan behind her, she continued: "Today, I want to send Concubine Zhaogui to the Huanqing Pool. I was reckless a few days ago and blamed Concubine Zhaogui by mistake. I wanted to apologize to her, but who would you like to ask?" You know, Concubine Zhaogui didn't appreciate it, and pushed the concubine's body down the Huanqing Pond! The empress is the master of the concubine's body!"

There was no quarrel, crying and defending as the queen imagined. Mu Wan just said coldly: "Empress, the concubine is innocent. Although the concubine and Chen Wanyi have grudges in the past, they also know the way of women's virtue and talent. To do such vicious things, what's more, the concubine will not be so stupid as to push Chen Wanyi down the Huanqing Pond and let her testify against the concubine!"

Every word of Mu Wan's words was clear in the bedroom. The queen didn't know how to make a choice for a while. It's reasonable, but there are still doubts, so I will trouble Concubine Zhaogui to stay in Luoxia Palace in this palace for one night, and I will invite the emperor to make a decision tomorrow."

After speaking, she stood up and left. Chen Wanyi showed a triumphant smile. Mu Wan didn't take it seriously, and followed the queen indifferently.

As soon as the queen left, Xingyun Pavilion suddenly became deserted. Chen Wanyi called her maid and said, "Luo Er, you should understand what I will say tomorrow."

The court lady named Luo Er gave a vicious smile: "This servant naturally knows that this time Zhaogui Concubine can no longer compete with others!"

When Chen Wanyi heard the words, she immediately settled down, and she was secretly proud: Mu Wan, let's see how you still fight with me this time!
Mu Wan was taken away by the queen, and everyone dispersed. Gu Minglang looked at everything in the harem, smiled contemptuously, straightened his clothes, and went to patrol alone.

Suddenly seeing a figure in front of him, Gu Minglang shouted, "Who's there? Come out!"

The figure flickered and walked out slowly. Gu Minglang took a closer look and found that it was the palace lady behind Concubine Zhaogui, named Luoxue.
