Playful Queen

Chapter 55

Concubine Rong was forced to take a few steps back, her face turned pale for a moment, looking at the empress's sharp eyes, the cold light radiated from her, which caught her off guard.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded outside the hall: "The emperor is here, and the concubine Yun is here..."

The two figures gradually became clear, Zi Yechen's dragon robe with bright yellow brocade collar on the right lapel reflected his face as flawless as a crown jade, and the crown on his head was burning and domineering.Concubine Yun is wearing a long pink blue dress that stretches across the floor, with light flowers embroidered on the cuffs, which is charming yet beautiful, charming and moving.

Meng Li raised her eyebrows, she came just in time, it seems that the time for Wang Duan to report is just right.

As soon as Concubine Rong heard this voice, she rushed out recklessly and hugged Zi Yechen, crying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... save my concubine..." Concubine Rong looked very pitiful, Crying so hard that he couldn't even speak clearly, Zi Yechen frowned when he saw Rong Bin's appearance, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Two lines of tears had already filled Concubine Rong's cheeks, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said aggrievedly: "Please the emperor be the master of this concubine, concubine...the empress..." Concubine Rong looked Looking at Mengli, he hesitated to speak.

Zi Yechen's complexion is not very good, it seems that he has just received news from King Duan, and glanced at another person in the room, Mengli also raised his eyes to look at Zi Yechen, without saying a word, determined Looking at those extremely cold eyes, he was immediately broken by the deep voice, "What's the matter? Say it!"

"The empress not only fooled the people, but also the emperor!" Concubine Rong said firmly, and then looked at Chun Yu beside her, "Chun Yu, don't be afraid, the emperor is in charge, tell me everything you know!"

Zi Yechen stared at Chun Yu coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you a maid of Fengyi Palace?"

Chun Yu, who was not speaking, knelt down on the ground with a plop, avoiding Mengli's sight, kowtowed calmly and said: "Back to the emperor, this servant is the queen's maid who serves the queen. Everything that Concubine Rong said just now is true. Fool the people, and then prove your irreplaceable status with the illusion of trying the frying pan."

"Illusion?" Zi Yechen's sharp black eyes are like ice skates.

"My maidservant heard what the empress said with her own ears. It was simply a trick of the rivers and lakes. The empress tampered with the oil pan in advance. There was oil on top and vinegar on the bottom. It would not do any harm to the human body at all..."

He had already heard about this matter from Mo Yu, and after hearing it, it not only solved the doubts in his heart, but also made him angry, but he had to admit that this method did stabilize the people, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, and therefore , he had already given up on this matter, how did he know that he brought it up again, Zi Yechen frowned, and said lightly: "So what about this matter?"

"It's just a trivial matter. The emperor didn't know about it. The whole thing was that the empress bribed the abbot of Baoguang Temple in advance to design lightning to chop off the Buddha's hand and drop it. She also wanted to blame the East Palace until the emperor sent someone to investigate the main messenger behind the scenes. The concubine knew about this, so she came to threaten the concubine!" Concubine Rong interrupted Chun Yu, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, looking very aggrieved, "Please the emperor make the decision for the concubine!"

Meng Li was generally silent, with her hands crossed on her chest, like a dutiful audience watching a play. It is said that this palace is a play, and everyone in the harem is the best actor, so it is no problem to enter Hollywood.

But these words sounded like kindling in Zi Yechen's ears, igniting the anger in his heart, Zi Yechen suddenly grabbed Mengli's hand, staring at that indifferent face with black eyes, Say it one by one: "Is this really true?"

Mengli looked at the person in front of her coldly, her aura was intimidating, she didn't feel the fear that she should have when facing the emperor, she just smiled indifferently, and asked back: "Then, what does the emperor think?"

Looking at her expression, Zi Yechen really had the urge to kill her, and held her hand tightly, but those black eyes shot at Mengli like a volcano that was about to erupt, and asked again Said: "Don't the queen explain this?"

"If the emperor thinks so, do I still need to explain?" Mengli replied coldly, maybe she didn't even know that at this moment, she was testing the heart of the king of the country, if he believed in her if……

"Then it means that you were the one who poisoned the monk to death?" Sure enough, she was wrong. It turned out that from the very beginning, he was just like what others thought. Come on, fooling the people, these two crimes, I can kill you!"

Seeing the situation, Yun Xi tried to calm down the tense situation: "Your Majesty, please calm down, this concubine feels that this matter has nothing to do with the empress..."

"Forget it! I don't need others to intercede for me!" Meng Li still looked indifferent, and glanced at Yun Xi without any expression.

Zi Yechen couldn't bear her indifferent appearance, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and said lightly: "Come on, put the queen into the prison for me."

The two guards obeyed the order and came in. Just as they were about to walk to the queen, there was another shrill announcement from outside the door: "The empress dowager is here..."

Looking outside the hall, I saw the Empress Dowager wearing a yellow and black phoenix dress, graceful and luxurious, with tall temples, pink lips, and an aura of power without anger. With Xi'er's support, she slowly moved towards this side. come.

The meeting is finally here, Meng Li looked at Xi'er, with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, it was still in time.

The Empress Dowager came to the Emperor with a gentle face and asked, "I heard the voice of the Emperor's son at the door. What happened? The Emperor wants to send the Empress to the prison?"

"Queen, ask her yourself what she did!" Zi Yechen's voice was low and filled with anger, he flicked his sleeves, and cast a cold glance at Mengli.

Concubine Rong thought to herself that this matter has already been settled, even the queen mother can't save her, when she turned to look at the queen, she found that she was also looking at herself, with an evil smile on the corner of her mouth , just like before...

"Queen, what's going on?" The queen mother looked at Mengli and asked with concern.

Meng Li withdrew her gaze and looked at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I'm saying that the former minister wants to ask the Queen Mother to confirm something." She took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve, and slowly unfolded it, only to see a pair of delicate earrings, Then he asked, "Does the queen mother recognize this earring?"

The queen mother picked up the earrings and took a closer look, "It's not that the Ai family ordered someone to make them with jade. On the day of the birthday banquet, they were rewarded to Concubine Rong." After speaking, the queen mother looked at Concubine Rong, as if thinking of something. At this moment, the concubine's face turned pale, and she could no longer hold back her calm expression, and looked at the queen mother.
