The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 96 Tiger Eyes
"You!" Empress Dowager Xu stared angrily at the queen's words, "Queen, do you think Ai's family is saying that your Fenggong's small kitchen is not strictly controlled?"

"What does the queen mother mean? Please let the queen mother express it!" Si Luoyun raised her eyes, and looked at the queen mother resolutely, "Could it be that the queen mother wants to accuse the concubine of deliberately ordering people to mix foreign objects in the cakes, just to make the pastries more delicious?" The life of the four-year-old eldest princess?"

"Queen!" Duguye looked at Si Luoyun angrily.

He didn't want her to be involved in the turmoil, so he tried his best to suppress Queen Mother Xu's accusations!He also believes that Si Luoyun will not harm the eldest princess, as long as the truth of the matter is found out, she will be innocent!But she was angering Queen Mother Xu!

"Your majesty." Si Luoyun turned her eyes to the emperor, and said softly, "It must be that the mother wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible, so she summoned the concubine. If you want to question the ministers and concubines, they will answer truthfully. The pure ones are pure, and the turbid ones are turbid. If you avoid them, you will feel guilty."

"But..." Duguye looked at Si Luoyun worriedly, fearing that she would be pregnant because of emotional agitation!
Besides, the eldest princess's body is still in the inner hall, it will be bad if it collides with the fetus in Si Luoyun's womb!
Si Luoyun understands that Dugu Ye wants to protect herself, but sometimes men can't intervene in women's battlefields at all!Unless "brute force" is used at the end to decide the outcome!Just because Empress Dowager Xu cursed Fubao and Hu'er to die young like the eldest princess, as a mother, she would not give up easily!
Empress Dowager Xu, there is only one woman in the harem who is the "king", and it's time to decide who is superior!

"What a clean one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid!" Empress Dowager Xu sneered and said, "The Ai family also wants to find out the cause of the princess' death for the sake of the peace of the harem and the emperor's heirs! If the queen gives the Ai family a reasonable Explain, Aijia will not wrong you! If the explanation is not clear, even if the eldest princess is not the victim of you, the crime of not strictly governing the palace and causing the death of the royal princess is not light! Also, the queen replied Aijia's question, why don't you kneel? Could it be that you despise Aijia, the empress dowager who is not the emperor's biological mother?"

Duguye was about to lose her temper and tear herself apart with Empress Dowager Xu, but Si Luoyun had already stood up and took a step forward to lightly press Duguye's arm, then lifted the hem of her skirt and was supported by Chunxiao on the ground.

"The concubine dare not disrespect the Queen Mother." Si Luoyun said respectfully.

Empress Dowager Xu glanced at the emperor's tense face, gnashed teeth, and clenched fists, and raised her eyebrows triumphantly.

"The Ai family is not that hard-hearted! For the queen's sake, let's stand up and answer!" She just didn't like Dugu Ye and Si Luoyun's affectionate appearance!

How is the emperor?What about the Queen?Above them, there is a Queen Mother of Yan!If they dare to ignore themselves, the subjects of Dayan will scold them for being unfilial to the emperor and queen, and not worthy of being kings!

Si Luoyun had no choice but to be supported to stand up again, this kneeling together made her sweaty!
If it wasn't for Si Luoyun's pressing and the ambiguous restraining eyes, Duguye would have almost turned his back on Queen Mother Xu!But he also understands that forcibly quelling this incident will not lead to the best results!In the future, there may be deaths of court ladies and concubines who will be falsely blamed on the queen!

The position of empress is to attract the wind, even if there is no Queen Mother Xu, there may be other people who want to frame Si Luoyun in the future!This happened because Si Luoyun gave everyone the impression of being "easy-going" and "easy to bully" from the very beginning!If Empress Si wants to change this image and become self-reliant, it is okay to give her a chance to show her off!

After Dugu Ye thought about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart and temporarily watched from the sidelines!

"The queen mother wants to know the truth, so the concubine will report the truth she knows to the queen mother." Si Luoyun lowered her eyes and said to the queen mother Xu, "Please let the concubine tell the four palace servants in the small kitchen of Fenggong Palace and the second caretaker. The princess and the eldest prince's four wet nurses have an audience and answer."

Empress Dowager Xu raised her chin, and proudly said: "Okay! Since the Empress has the intention to find out the truth, Aijia will help you!"

Si Luoyun thanked Empress Dowager Xu, and ordered Chunxiao to pass the servants from the small kitchen and the four wet nurses into the palace.

The servants in the small kitchen swear to heaven that they did not tamper with the food!The four wet nurses also repeated what they reported to Si Luoyun before!
"These are all people from your palace, the empress, what they say is unbelievable!" Empress Dowager Xu said coldly.

Si Luoyun smiled slightly, and asked softly: "Then who does the empress think is trustworthy?"

"Hmph!" Empress Dowager Xu snorted disdainfully, without responding.

"The reason for the concubine to let these palace people tell the whole story is not to prove the innocence of the court lady." Si Luoyun changed the subject and said flatly, "It is to return the innocence of these palace people! Although the palace people are slaves , to listen to the master's words and act, but it is also pitiful to be wronged and punished for this."

The palace servants and nurses of Feng Palace were moved to tears and kowtowed by Queen Si's words.

Empress Dowager Xu couldn't understand that Empress Si still showed her kindness and virtue at this time, she said mockingly: "The Empress is really a virtuous and considerate master, no wonder all the palace servants in Feng Palace are loyal!"

"Thank you mother for your praise." Si Luoyun said "modestly".

"..." Empress Dowager Xu pursed her lips, suppressing the venomous words that she wanted to utter in anger!

After Si Luoyun "thank you" to Empress Dowager Xu, when she raised her head again, the person she looked at was Concubine Zhen who had been kneeling on the ground.

Concubine Zhen had a dull expression on her face, no tears in her eyes, and knelt stiffly at Empress Dowager Xu's feet.

They had been talking for such a long time, yet Concubine Zhen didn't respond at all!It can be seen from this that the death of the eldest princess has indeed dealt a great blow to Concubine Zhen!
Si Luoyun sighed in her heart, and thought to herself: Seeing Concubine Zhen like this, at least it proves that she still has a daughter as the eldest princess in her heart.

"Actually, the concubine is unclear about something, and I still need to ask the queen mother for advice." Si Luoyun withdrew her mind, and then humbly said to Empress Dowager Xu, "The queen suspects that the concubine or someone in the concubine's palace intentionally killed the queen mother." Princess, I don’t know why there is such a guess? If it’s because of the cheese cake, maybe everyone will guess more accidents, right?”

"Is the queen questioning that Ai's family is framing and harming you?" Empress Dowager Xu added the word "framed" and gritted her teeth.

"The concubine dare not." Si Luoyun looked at Dugu Ye and said, "The concubine wants to say something inappropriate, but I hope the emperor and the queen mother will forgive me."

Dugu Ye nodded in agreement, and Empress Dowager Xu snorted again to express her no objection.

Si Luoyun took a deep breath, and calmly said: "It is suspected that the concubine killed the eldest princess because of the big taboo of the harem! Assuming that the concubine is a person with vicious thoughts, but what is the concubine Zhen and the princess? What should the concubines be jealous of and guard against? Concubine Zhen has long since fallen out of favor. Although the eldest princess is the emperor's first child, she is a princess after all and poses no threat to the future succession to the throne! Such a pair is almost non-existent in the harem Sensitive mothers and daughters, why should the concubines do anything to them, getting close and making them feel fishy?"

well said!Standing behind the emperor, Concubine Liao Xian secretly admired Empress Si's sharp and to the point defense!
Everyone in the hall was shocked, they didn't expect Queen Si to have such eloquence!
The first smile after entering this palace room appeared on Dugu Ye's face, and his eyes were so gentle that they almost turned into water as he stared at the woman who stood upright and was pregnant with his heir!
Empress Dowager Xu was startled by what Queen Si said!She also didn't expect that Si Luoyun, who usually seemed meek and dull, would be so powerful!

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Si Luoyun didn't feel any pride, but felt a little sad in her heart!
A child lost his life, and instead of feeling sad about the death of the child, the adults here are plotting and plotting against others every step of the way!Is it really not easy to find a kind person in this harem?

Thinking of this, Si Luoyun couldn't help feeling resentful in her heart!

"If the concubine is really vicious, if you want to do it, you will deal with Concubine Zhen! Why do you want to do it to the eldest princess?" Si Luoyun said coldly, "The queen mother has lived in the harem for a long time, so she must know more about the methods of open and secret fighting between concubines and concubines in the harem than the concubine! Killing people is the lowest and most thoughtless way, and if you don’t do it, you might get yourself involved too! And there are too many ways in this world that can make a person’s life worse than death, and death can’t be done! The concubine will definitely not be the murderer who killed the eldest princess."

Spitting out all these words hidden in her heart in one breath, Si Luoyun couldn't help but feel a little faint!
Ever since she was a child, she only liked to watch the fights between her parents, aunts, brothers and sisters, and was unwilling to express her opinions in words.Because, she felt that speaking out would not change anything!
Big brother and big sister are the best example!They told their father about all the bad things about Aunt Ning, but the father thought that the mother was jealous of Aunt Ning, and instigated the elder brother and elder sister to slander and frame Aunt Ning!In this regard, the mother even defended to the father at first, but then just faced the father with a sneer and no words!

It wasn't until Aunt Ning made a mistake and was caught and revealed, and she could no longer deny it, that the mother would call her father to severely punish her!Every time this happens, my father is blushing, staring and unable to refute!Then he will neglect Aunt Ning for a while!
The eldest brother called his mother's method "If you don't make a move easily, you will hurt someone if you do it"!The elder sister, Si Luohe, covered her mouth and laughed until she trembled wildly...Si Luoyun didn't understand and laughed silly, but she wrote down this sentence, and took the time to ask that elder brother's good friend, Brother Fu, for advice. Get the implication!
"Emperor... Your Majesty! Listen to what you are saying?" The hall was originally silent because of Queen Si's words, but Empress Dowager Xu's frantic voice broke everyone's contemplation! "Could it be that if some concubines are favored by the emperor and give birth to a prince for the emperor, the queen will not tolerate them, and then murder them all? Also! What else is there to say about the concubine's infighting in the harem? What does it mean!"

Empress Dowager Xu was almost pissed off by Si Luoyun!
What Empress Si said made people unable to find any loopholes to refute, and even brought her, the former empress and the current empress dowager, along with her!
"Queen mother, calm down, the empress is just making an analogy." Dugu Ye calmed down now, and said to "pacify" Empress Dowager Xu, "The empress didn't say it before, it was just a hypothesis, a hypothesis..."

Good you emperor!At this time, learn from your queen and play sloppy with the Ai family!
"Okay! Okay! That's how the emperor indulges the queen and doesn't take the other concubines into consideration? Doesn't this hurt the hearts of the concubines?" Empress Dowager Xu started provoking again and never had a chance to sit down and talk. concubines!

Listen to what the queen said!Concubine Zhen fell out of favor and gave birth to a princess again, and the queen didn't even have a crush on them from the corner of her eye!Those of you who are not favored and have not even had a child for the emperor, let alone in her eyes!

"The queen mother is too worried." Dugu Ye said calmly, "The queen is the mother of a country, and all concubines in the harem must bow their heads in awe and not overstep it! It is only natural for the queen to look down on them."
