Chapter 343 Submit Evidence
"thump!"

Yuliu didn't notice, and accidentally fell to the ground, knocking her elbow on the steps, causing her to frown in pain.

Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked up at Zhao Kexi who knocked Yuliu away.

However, Zhao Kexi tore up the note and threw it into the next to the stove, gasped and looked at Shang Kelan nervously and proudly: "Don't try to slander me with unnecessary notes, tell you, I can do it!" Sit upright, I'm not afraid of you hurting me!"

Shang Kelan sat on the chair, looked up at her with a smile, and said, "Really? If you were serious about sitting up straight, why would you be so nervous? This note is just a purchase from the imperial dining room. It's just a list."

As soon as the words fell, Shang Kelan took out a note from his sleeve with downcast eyes, and slowly came to the Empress Dowager, handed the note to the Empress Dowager, and said slowly: "As for the real receipt, it is here with me."

In an instant, Zhao Kexi's eyes widened, fear spread in her eyes, she subconsciously looked at Zhao Kehan, her face was full of asking for help.

The Empress Dowager took a look at the receipt, and a hint of doubt floated in her eyes.

Zhao Kehan ​​took a sip of tea lightly, raised his eyes and said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, my concubine thinks that the current gossip in the palace should be the most important thing. After all, His Majesty's reputation must not be slandered because of the Empress Dowager."

As she said that, she paused, got up and came to Shang Kelan's side, and asked Shang Kelan in doubt: "Besides, what can a receipt show?"

Shang Kelan said indifferently: "The day before the Xianya Palace caught fire, Chen Zhaoyi, who was supposed to learn the rules in Jiaosifang, went to the imperial dining room to buy so much wine, and the Xianya Palace burned down the next day, but I didn't know about it. Did the fire start unintentionally, or did Chen Zhaoyi intentionally use the wine to intensify the fire, trying to burn Bengong to death?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Especially those concubines, all of them looked at Zhao Kexi in shock, with scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes.

Zhao Kexi swallowed her saliva, and hurriedly explained: "No! No, I didn't pour the wine in Xianya Palace, and I didn't intend to burn Concubine Chen to death!"

Shang Kelan smiled, looked down at her and said, "Well, if you dare to swear that you didn't set the fire, and you can tell what the wine you bought was used for, I can tell you what happened to the fire. Don't blame the past, and I will apologize to you Chen Zhaoyi, but if you can't explain the purpose of the wine, Chen Zhaoyi, then this palace will definitely punish you even if you are playing the role of imperial concubine!"

She spoke in a dangerous tone, and when she said the last sentence, she only heard Shang Kelan's voice suddenly stern, which frightened Zhao Kexi so that his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Zhao Kexi, but she saw that Zhao Kexi's face was pale, with cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead, his face was suddenly gloomy, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant.

If the arson was really done by Zhao Kexi, then she absolutely cannot keep Zhao Kexi!
"Chen Zhaoyi, you asked the imperial kitchen to buy so much wine, what exactly did you use it for?"

Holding the receipt, the Queen Mother questioned Zhao Kexi with a majestic expression.

"The concubine...the concubine buys wine for...for..."

Zhao Kexi knelt on the ground and spoke hesitantly, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

When everyone was focusing on Zhao Kexi, they didn't notice that Zhao Kehan ​​secretly winked at the calligraphy and painting standing beside him.

Calligraphy's eyes flickered for a moment, then they shook hands tightly, knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager with a "plop", and said hesitantly, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, this servant knows why Chen Zhaoyi bought wine!"

Zhao Kexi was taken aback, and quickly turned to look at Shuhua, her eyes were full of disbelief: "Shuhua, you..."

She thought that calligraphy and painting were going to confess herself, and her eyes gradually became filled with despair.

"Chen Zhaoyi, let her speak!"

The queen mother interrupted her voice in advance and ordered calligraphy and painting to tell the truth.

I saw the calligraphy and painting respectfully said: "When Chen Zhaoyi was learning the rules in Jiaosifang, she was worried that her majesty would neglect her in the future, so the empress asked the servants to go to the imperial dining room to buy a cart of wine, and she wanted to set up a wine shop in Changle Palace. Chi, to attract His Majesty to come to Changle Palace, so as to get in touch with His Majesty and misunderstand..."

After she finished speaking, the entire Compassionate Ning Palace was stunned.

Even the Empress Dowager stared blankly, then looked suspiciously at Zhao Kexi and said, "Is this really the case?"

Calligraphy's explanation undoubtedly saved Zhao Kexi. In this short moment, Zhao Kexi experienced the feeling of walking back from the gate of hell.

But then, she felt even more proud.

So what if Concubine Chen got the receipt?She still couldn't hurt a hair of her own!
Seeing the queen mother questioning, she hurriedly got up and wiped her tears and said, "Empress mother, it's too embarrassing to say this. The concubines are afraid of being laughed at by the sisters, so they dare not tell you. Who knows that the empress concubine Chen wants to use this matter to dispose of you?" Concubine to death!"

The Queen Mother looked moved, and was about to speak out to appease Zhao Kexi, but Shang Kelan looked at her indifferently, with a deep glint in her eyes: "Since the purpose of this wine is explained, then Chen Zhaoyi dares to swear to the Buddha, Does the fire in Xianya Palace have nothing to do with you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall held their breaths and focused their eyes on Shang Kelan and Zhao Kexi back and forth.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, not long after Shang Kelan went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Jin Yantang came to the bedroom.

"Laner?"

He stood in the room and called out, but no one answered behind the screen, only two maidservants were cleaning the room.

Jin Yantang's gentle expression suddenly returned to his previous indifference, and he asked coldly, "Where is Concubine Chen?"

The two palace servants hurriedly saluted him, and replied: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager just ordered someone to invite Concubine Chen to the Palace of Compassion, and Concubine Chen just left in less than a stick of incense."

What does the queen mother want Lan'er to do?She has always been prejudiced against Lan Er because she only loves Lan Er.

Jin Yantang's eyes flickered slightly, he turned and walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, because the Palace of Mental Cultivation is outside the imperial palace, while the Palace of Compassion and Ning is inside the harem.

Jin Yantang walked fast, and Fupu trotted behind him to catch up with him.

When he arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the servant wanted to report to the inside, but Jin Yantang glanced at him, and he immediately shut up.

All the way from the side hall to the entrance of the main hall, Jin Yantang was about to walk in when he heard Shang Kelan make Zhao Kexi swear.

For a moment, he paused slightly and stopped behind the curtain.

Zhao Kehan ​​focused on Zhao Kexi, frowned slightly, and was thinking about how to rescue her when Xinrui pulled her sleeves suddenly.

Immediately, Zhao Kehan ​​looked up at Xinrui, but Xinrui quietly motioned her to look out the door.

So Zhao Kehan ​​followed her gaze, but saw a pair of feet under the door curtain, and there was a person standing there listening to the movement in the hall.

Looking at the shoes, the golden dragon pattern on the upper and the ankle all showed the identity of the owner.

In an instant, Zhao Kehan's eyes lit up with joy, and then he quietly withdrew his gaze, and asked Xinrui to help her to Zhao Kexi's side.

When Zhao Kexi was thinking of words to deal with Shang Kelan, Zhao Kehan ​​held her hand, looked at Shang Kelan with a embarrassed expression, and said, "Concubine Chen, it's my concubine who didn't discipline my younger sister well, but her temper No matter how pampered you are, you dare not do such things as murder and arson, please check clearly!"
