The emperor's husband wants to hug

Chapter 51

Just when Hua Mujin's head was about to hit the pillar, a figure flashed out and blocked her.And the flower hibiscus also fell into a warm embrace.

"What are you doing?"

A stern scolding sound came from above, Hua Mujin frowned and raised her head, her expression changed extremely aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, let your slaves die. They all say that your slaves seduced you, so you will lose your innocence. Your slaves, your slaves are dead..."

In ancient times, a woman's innocence was more important than her life.

Hua Mujin happened to take advantage of this. Originally, she wanted to take the fake death medicine after bumping her head, so that people would mistakenly think that she was dead, and then took the opportunity to get the zither, and then escaped from the palace.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhanke appeared at the critical moment.

Seeing Hua Mujin's grievance, Bai Zhanke's face darkened, he turned his head to meet the Queen Mother's gaze, and asked, "Queen Mother, is there such a thing?"

When questioned, the Queen Mother glared at Hua Hibiscus who was curled up in Bai Zhanke's arms, and said coldly, "Aijia only asked a few questions, so why should I be wronged? It's her own inability to think about it, what has to do with Aijia? The emperor is blaming Aijia ?"

Letting go of the hibiscus, Bai Zhanke pulled her hand forward, and the eunuch moved the chair for him upon seeing this.

Sitting on the high chair, Bai Zhanke looked at the queen mother and said, "My mother misunderstood that I came to Ganlu Hall just to tell my mother what happened last night, and Hua Mujin didn't seduce me."

"Since she didn't seduce, why did the emperor go to the laundry bureau last night and bump into her?"

The queen mother said angrily, but she still concluded with the word 'seduce'.

"Since the queen mother wants to know, let's tell everyone at the banquet last night to the Ganlu Palace first. I also want to investigate why I went to the laundry bureau in a daze."

As he said that, Bai Zhanke turned his head and shouted to the outside of Ganlu Hall: "Come here, send Xia Shuyi, Lin Shuyi, Concubine Ning and Concubine Xuan, as well as the prince and the general."

"Yes!"

Outside the palace, the person in charge is Luochen.

The queen mother seemed to sense something was wrong, frowned, and asked: "What does the emperor mean?"

"Mother, don't worry. When everyone is ready, I will invite my mother to watch a show." With a slight smile, Bai Zhanke took a sip of tea and said nothing.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Hua Mujin who was standing aside. From her expression, she could only see boredom, as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all.

After a while, everyone arrived at the Ganlu Hall except the prince Bai Lingyu.

"Your Majesty, why are you summoning me in such a hurry? I was screwed into the palace just as I was about to fall asleep. This is not going to let me rest!"

Shangguan Yi's brisk words eased the atmosphere in the entire Ganlu Hall a lot.

But then, when Shangguan Yi looked at Hua Mujin beside Bai Zhanke, he was surprised for a moment and almost stood up from his chair.

"Your Majesty, the palace servant next to you is..."

Bai Zhanke glanced at Shangguan Yi, but Bai Zhanke didn't answer.

And Shangguan Yi never took his eyes off Hua Mujin.Sensing Shangguan Yi's fiery gaze, Hua Mujin looked at him suspiciously, seeing that he was still staring straight at him, she couldn't help but glared at him displeasedly as a warning.

Stared at by Hua Hibiscus, Shangguan Yi came back to his senses, but couldn't help laughing after thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, since everyone has arrived, let's start."

Glancing at the four women, Bai Zhanke curled his lips coldly, and said, "Mother, the reason why I disappeared from Ganlu Palace last night was because I went to the laundry bureau. But I'm not confused, nor drunk. , but someone put a love potion in my wine, trying to make me favor her!"

Bai Zhanke's words shocked everyone.

Of course, the flower hibiscus is not included.

And the person who reacted the most was Xia Hanxue.I saw her trembling slightly, and a little sweat oozes from her forehead.

The Empress Dowager naturally saw that something was wrong with her, she frowned, grasped the armrest of the imperial concubine chair slightly tighter, and said: "Your Majesty, even though you are the emperor, you have to speak evidence. What's more, last night was the nectar at Aijia. Dian, who dares to put medicine in your wine?"

As if expecting the Queen Mother to say this, Bai Zhanke didn't refute, but just said along the way: "Of course, what the Queen Mother said is very true. Therefore, in order to find out the matter, I ordered someone to investigate it early in the morning."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who is this, so bold? How dare you give the emperor a love potion, I really don't want to live."

Suddenly, Shangguan Yi interrupted.

And his words made Xia Hanxue fidget with fright, and her face turned pale.

When some people saw her strangeness, they instantly thought of something, and the way they looked at Xia Hanxue was a little different.

The queen mother said: "I don't know what the emperor found?"

Smiling lightly, putting down the tea in his hand, Bai Zhanke looked directly at Xia Hanxue, and asked, "Xia Shuyi, why did you appear in the Imperial Garden last night? Why don't you tell the Queen Mother?"

As soon as the words finished, Xia Hanxue stood up from the stool and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother.

"Back to the emperor, queen mother, the concubine had two drinks last night, but the concubine couldn't drink enough, so I went to the imperial garden to wake up, and then I met the emperor."

Xia Hanxue pretended to be calm, and since she let the maid out in the morning and never came back, she knew something must have happened.Then Bai Zhanke summoned her, and she had already thought of her speech.

"In this season, we should go to the imperial garden to enjoy more flowers and smell the fragrance of the flowers. My family can understand, so you should get up first." There is something in the Empress Dowager's words. Find an excuse.

"Since I can't drink enough, I should go back to the palace to rest earlier. This general really disagrees with Xia Shuyi's hobby of admiring and smelling flowers at night."

In the entire Ganlu Palace, there were not two people who dared to refute the Queen Mother, and Shangguan Yi was one of them.

"General Shangguan, please be careful when you speak."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager reprimanded in a low voice, but Shangguan Yi just shrugged his shoulders, grinned and said: "The Empress Dowager calms down, the minister is getting better."

"Mother, let's not talk about this matter for the time being. Since Hua Mujin's innocence was destroyed by me, then I should give her a title. Let's not mention whether she has committed any crimes before, but she is still the daughter of Shang Shufu. I think that since she has served me, it is only natural for her to be made a concubine, what do you think of her mother?"

Bai Zhanke suddenly changed the subject, which caught everyone by surprise, especially Hua Mujin.

"Hey, when will I..."

"To shut up!"

Hua Mujin was about to say something, but Bai Zhanke yelled at her directly.

This made her feel a little wronged, and she didn't understand why Bai Zhanke would suddenly turn to this matter while investigating the love potion.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family said that Hua Mujin can only be rewarded after cleaning up her private possessions of the imperial concubine, not to mention that she hasn't cleaned up yet, even if it is a reward, she cannot be a concubine."

The Empress Dowager hated Hua Mujin beyond Hua Mujin's imagination. She never remembered when she had offended the Empress Dowager, and she never had such a person in her memory.

Therefore, she was also curious why she was hated so much.

"What the queen mother said is that I didn't think carefully. Regarding the fact that I was given the love potion, I have sent someone to arrest a palace maid, and she has confessed everything." Bai Zhanke said naturally and easily, turning his head , a foreign order shouted, "Come here, bring that palace man up."

After a while, Luo Chen and Nan Ge brought in a man whose whole body was whipped and his clothes were torn and covered in blood.

The moment she knelt down, when she saw Xia Hanxue, she cried and knelt forward.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me..."

As if grasping at a straw, the maid hugged Xia Hanxue's leg and refused to let go.

The hem of the skirt was stained with blood, Xia Hanxue kicked the maid away in disgust.

"If I remember correctly, this palace maid should be Xia Shuyi's personal maid, right? According to her, the administration of the love potion was Xia Shuyi's order. I wonder how Xia Shuyi should explain it?"

Looking at the master and servant, Bai Zhanke asked in a cold voice.

For a moment, Xia Hanxue knelt down in front of the Queen Mother again, "Queen Mother, this servant girl disappeared last night. I thought she couldn't stand the rules of the palace and escaped from the palace, but I didn't expect her to appear here. I beg the queen mother to investigate clearly, this servant girl is obviously slandering the concubine. Even if the concubine is given a hundred courage, the concubine will not dare to drug the emperor, the queen mother..."

Xia Hanxue knew that only the Queen Mother could save her, so she begged only the Queen Mother.

Squinting her eyes, the Empress Dowager looked a little tired, but she still opened her mouth to defend Xia Hanxue, "Your Majesty, looking at the maidservant with scars all over her body, it will inevitably make people feel that she was tortured. If there is no other evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult for people to believe this." It was Xia Shuyi who did it."

Expecting that the Queen Mother would say this, Bai Zhanke smiled and said, "Of course, when Xia Shuyi left Zhaohe Palace, in order not to wrong Xia Shuyi, I had sent people to search the entire Zhaohe Palace. Luochen, did you find anything suspicious?" ?”

Hearing this, Luochen knelt on the ground and replied: "Go back to the emperor, queen mother, my subordinates found a bag of white powder in Zhaohe Palace, but I don't know what it is."

"Pass the Imperial Physician!"

Before anyone could react, Bai Zhanke spoke in a cold voice.

The entire Ganlu Temple was deathly quiet, and even the sound of people's breathing and heartbeat could be heard subtly.Until the imperial doctor arrived, he kowtowed to Bai Zhanke and the Queen Mother.

"Excuse me, go and see what the white thing in the guard's hand is."

After receiving the order, the imperial doctor got up and walked to Luochen, took the things in his hands and smelled them carefully, and after a while, he reported to Bai Zhanke and the queen mother: "Return to the emperor, queen mother, this white powder contains actinolite, nine incense worms, There are many aphrodisiacs such as cnidium and late silkworm moth, that is to say, this white powder is a love potion."

"This love potion was found by Luochen in the Zhaohe Palace, right? If that's the case, there are all the witnesses and evidence, Xia Shuyi, what else do you have to say?"

Shangguan Yi, who had been watching the show all this time, spoke at this moment, and his words scared Xia Hanxue into a panic again.

"No, it's impossible, this, this must be her, she hid in the Zhaohe Palace, and she wanted to frame me. Queen Mother, you must trust me, I..."

Hugging the Queen Mother's feet in a panic, Xia Hanxue pointed at the maid and poured dirty water on her.

For a moment, the servant girl looked at her in horror, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
