Chapter 227: An Imminent Disaster (4)
Xiao Jun frowned and asked: "Punishment is inevitable. What I want to ask now is, why didn't you find any abnormalities when you patrolled so many people last night?"

The leader of the guards bowed his head and said: "I didn't find it last night, but I caught two people this morning. The subordinates have already ordered them to be detained. They were about to report to the emperor, and the emperor passed them on without thinking."

"Oh?" Xiao Jun asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

The head of the guard named Lu Jing glanced at Concubine Ning, and replied: "The person has already been brought, and it is in the courtyard. I will ask the emperor to take a look."

Xiao Jun got up and strode out. Seeing that the Queen and Concubine Ning also seemed very puzzled, Qing Chen followed them to the corridor outside the hall.

Standing on the steps, Xiao Jun saw two men in disheveled clothes tied up in the yard covered in blood. One of them was handsome and looked like a bodyguard, but when he took a closer look at the other man, everyone was surprised. Cai Die, the girl in Concubine Ning's room, had a small bundle beside them.

Seeing the appearance of those two, the emperor looked back at Concubine Ning with complicated eyes. Concubine Ning also saw Cai Die at this moment, and instantly her face turned pale, and asked hurriedly: "Cai Die, why is it you? No wonder Ben Gong Jin didn't see you coming to serve me this morning, what's going on with you?"

Caidie's hair is disheveled, she probably fought with someone last night, her clothes were torn in several places, and her body was stained with blood, she was probably also frightened, shaking like chaff all over her body, "Mother, slave... slave accidentally Killing someone is all the servant's fault, if you want to kill or cut it, you can go to the servant alone, Lu Tai has been implicated by the servant, and he begged the emperor and the empress to spare his life."

The guard named Lu Tai heard what she said, and hurriedly shouted: "No, Your Majesty, I accidentally killed this person. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Don't embarrass Cai Die. She didn't do anything. It's a humble job. If you kill someone, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities alone."

Seeing this, Qingchen already understood what was going on, the two probably had an affair.

Sweeping her eyes lightly at Concubine Ning, she saw that her expression was stiff, her body swayed as if she was about to fall, and Lan Yan who was following her hurriedly reached out to support her, "Your Majesty, calm down, don't get angry because of this girl."

Cai Die is one of Concubine Ning's personal servants. She has always been valued by her. She never thought that she would do such a foolish thing. It is already a serious crime to cheat with a guard, not to mention killing someone. It really embarrassed Concubine Ning in front of everyone. extreme.

Seeing that Concubine Ning was angry, the queen shook her head in great disappointment, and sternly reprimanded the two kneeling on the steps: "Why don't you explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly?"

Cai Die was terrified by the Queen's tone, kowtowed her head and wept: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything, I have done something wrong, I know I have no face, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me, I only hope your Majesty will spare Lu Tai , the servant will die without regret.”

Concubine Ning's face was livid, she couldn't bear it and hated her for not being able to live up to her expectations. Her dowry girl had served by her side for many years, and she still had some affection, but she wanted to die only in exchange for the life of the man next to her, which really made her feel embarrassed. lost.

The queen shouted in a deep voice: "Whether to forgive him or not, the palace rules have the final say, you just say what's yours."

Seeing the Queen's expression, Cai Die knew that it was useless to beg for mercy. The Queen and Concubine Ning were just a matter of face. The two had been plotting against each other secretly. How could she miss this good opportunity to suppress her master?Seeing that Concubine Ning has been refusing to open her mouth, she just felt hopeless in her heart, she turned to look at the emperor, and saw that the emperor also had a sullen face, showing no sign of mercy, she knew that the two of them had reached their end today, The despair spread little by little, and she felt dizzy for a while, unable to support herself, she fell down and leaned against Lu Tai.
