The rebirth of the first daughter of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 51 Debate

The two eunuchs hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "The servant also forgot."

Su Ruiran didn't let go, and said to the two: "If you can't tell, you are lying, and bullying the king is a death penalty."

The two were taken aback, but couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for a while.

Su Ruiran looked at the two of them and asked, "Did I replace nettles with jelly before I started cooking?"

The two were worried that they had nothing to say, so they nodded hurriedly when they heard the words: "Yes, that's it, the servant saw it with his own eyes."

Su Ruiran sneered coldly: "What a brave servant who saw it with his own eyes, dared to lie in front of the emperor, what crime would he take?"

The two eunuchs were taken aback, and said with a stiff expression, "Young lady Su can't understand what Miss Su said."

Su Ruiran looked at the two of them with a sneer and said, "Since you are working in the imperial dining room, you should also be aware that although jelly-eggs are the same as nettles, the soup will change color and turn black when boiled. And the color of the soup that the empress drank just now Qingliang, it was obvious that the jelly was added after it was boiled and cooled. So it is enough to see that the two of you are lying, so hurry up and tell the truth!"

The two eunuchs stood there silently.

Seeing the sudden turn of events, Li Guifei gave Lanxi a sneaky wink, and Lanxi immediately said understandingly: "Even if the two of them spoke wrongly, the only ones who have been to the imperial dining room to receive swallow vegetables are the servants in Miss Su's room. What's more, there were indeed people who saw Miss Su leave the table before the accident, although Su Ruiran said she was going back to change, but there was no witness."

Concubine Li Gui also spoke to the emperor at this time: "Your majesty, this concubine thinks that in order to restore Su Ruiran's innocence, she can only be wronged and grounded. After this matter is clarified, she can be restored."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, this is also a way.

Su Ruiran remained silent, indeed no one could testify for her.

Zhang Qin walked up to her and said politely, "Miss Su please."

She was silent for a moment and didn't lift her foot. Once she was grounded, it was almost like being slaughtered.

However, at this moment, Nangong Che suddenly stood up: "Father, my son can testify for her."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at him in unison.Su Ruiran looked at Nangong Che in surprise, not understanding what he wanted at all.

I saw Nangong Che knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Father, the real purpose of Miss Su's leaving the banquet is actually to keep the appointment, and the person who made the appointment with her is the minister."

The emperor looked surprised, looked at Nangong Che who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Is what you said true?"

After all, it is not a glorious thing for lonely men and widows to meet in private, not to mention that Nangong Che and Su Ruiran are both unmarried and the other unmarried.

"Everything is true." Nangong Che turned to look at Su Ruiran, motioning for her to say something quickly, but Su Ruiran didn't start, and frowned.

Yan Shi suddenly said at this moment: "Prince Qing, you didn't leave the banquet just now, so why pretend to lie to ruin Rui Ran's reputation?"

Nangong Che's face changed slightly, but he said: "I just haven't had time to leave, but she was indeed invited by me, so I can prove that she has not been to the imperial dining room, nor has she poisoned the concubine's soup. "

The Yan family never expected that Prince Qing would stand up for this dead girl, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Since Prince Qing didn't leave the banquet, how do you know that she didn't go to the imperial dining room? Prince Qing's words were full of mistakes, presumably it was to save Rui Ran It’s done, but it’s not justified.”

Su Yanran looked at the sarcasm on Su Ruiran's face, and she said: "My sister is really good at making Prince Qing lie for you, but my sister hasn't left the cabinet yet and hasn't been engaged, so it's wrong to have friends with other men like this It is tantamount to disobedience to women. My sister is like this, it really shames my father, and it also makes my sister feel cold."

Yan Shi also said: "Rui Ran, I saw you talking happily with Prince Qing last time. If you really have a destiny with him, you can ask him to arrange it for you. Why do you have such a secret affair? Or Are you willing to do this? It really hurts my mother."

Su Ruiran frowned, being humiliated in public, secretly angry, but she could only hold back.

Nangong Che was also angry, and said unceremoniously to Yan Shi and Su Yanran: "One of you is her second mother and the other is her younger sister, but why are you so troubled? Don't you see that she is so wrong? Are you going to put her to death?"

Both Yan's and Su Yanran's expressions changed when they heard the words, Yan's brows frowned at Nangong Che: "Prince Qing is so good at talking nonsense to slander my mother and daughter."

"Does it slander you all well?" Nangong Che was not polite.

Su Chao originally drank alone expressionlessly, but when he heard this, he raised his head slightly, staring at the Yan mother and daughter, frowning slightly.

At this time, Su Yanran said: "Since Prince Qing speaks out for my sister, he must be on my sister's side to think about her. That's why he slandered our mother and daughter in such a way. After all, it is for the sake of my sister, which is enough to show that the prince treats her well." It’s really a deep friendship.”

Su Ruiran remained silent, this kind of thing would only get darker and darker.

Nangong Che was about to argue with the two of them, but at this moment, Nangong Ling suddenly stopped him: "Seventh brother, stop messing around."

When Su Ruiran turned her head, she saw Nangong Ling put down her wine glass, got up and came slowly.The python pattern on the clothes was lifelike, and the scales embroidered with golden silk thread seemed to emit a faint light.When he walked up to the emperor and knelt down, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, especially those unmarried ladies.With such a handsome and relaxed man, coupled with the status of the proud son of the day, how many women in the world can not be tempted?

He walked up to the emperor and knelt down and said: "Father, this matter really has nothing to do with the seventh brother. The seventh brother was with me just now, and he never saw him and Miss Su exchange news and leave the banquet."

"Fifth brother!" Nangong Che stared at him puzzled.

Nangong Ling ignored him, changed the topic, and said to the emperor: "But this matter is related to my son."

The emperor looked surprised, looked at the two sons on the ground and said, "What's going on?"

Concubine Li Gui frowned, and said to Nangong Ling: "Prince Huai, you are the emperor's favorite son, so don't pretend to lie about a woman to make the emperor angry."

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your reminder." Nangong Ling took out an earring from his bosom without changing his face, and then the emperor said, "Miss Su accidentally lost this earring, and it happened to be picked up by my son and I recognized it as Miss Su." That's why Erchen asked Ms. Su to come out in private, just to return the earring to her. Erchen also knew that there was something wrong with this matter, but the relationship between Erchen and Miss Su was open and aboveboard. holy break."

Su Ruiran touched her earlobe, and was surprised to find that she had dropped an earring unknowingly.Thinking of Nangong Ling appearing to save him at that time, he immediately understood that he should have accidentally dropped it at that time, and he picked it up.

Seeing Concubine Li Gui's ugly face, Su Ruiran immediately said to Nangong Ling: "Thank you, my lord, for thinking of me so hard, my daughter is really grateful."

Nangong Ling looked at the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile expression.At this time, Su Ruiran was suffering and could not tell. If she denied that she was with Nangong Ling, she would be charged with this crime. If she admitted that she was with Nangong Ling, it would damage her reputation.No matter which option she chooses at the moment, it is of no benefit to her.But, she had no other choice.

The emperor's face was a little tired, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, this matter will stop here."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Li Gui still wanted to say something, but she was suddenly interrupted by the Emperor, who still held her in his arms, but his tone was not as tender as it was at the beginning, and he only heard him say, "Since it is; Of course I believed him."

Concubine Li Gui was speechless, although she was still not reconciled, she was also afraid that if she said more, she would offend the emperor, so she could only hold back her anger for a while.

Seeing this, the queen smiled slightly, and said smoothly, "Now that the truth has been revealed, how will the emperor deal with these two slaves?"

The two eunuchs on the ground kowtowed hurriedly when they heard the words, and shouted loudly: "The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life!"

The emperor didn't even look at them, and ordered Zhang Qin with a look of boredom: "These two slaves dare to deceive the emperor, drag them down and die."

"Yes." Zhang Qin immediately called the palace servants to take the two of them away.

In a burst of desperate cries for mercy, the two servants were dragged out, and then they heard the sound of heavy boards outside the door accompanied by screams.The shrill sound made people tremble with fear, but it quickly became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

Not long after, Zhang Qin came in and reported, "Your Majesty, those two bastards have already been killed."

The emperor waved his hand and asked Zhang Qin to step aside.

The queen looked at Concubine Li Gui who was leaning on the emperor's arms, and said, "Your majesty, although these two slaves are bold to deceive the emperor, they are two slaves after all, and slaves follow the orders of the master. Since these two slaves It was Concubine Li's servant Lan Xi who found it, and I don't know if their nonsense has something to do with Concubine Li?"

The emperor frowned with displeasure, Li Guifei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Lanxi, she is the concubine's dowry maid, she will definitely not harm the concubine."

Concubine Li Gui looked at the emperor with a pitiful look, her eyes filled with tears.

The emperor couldn't bear it, but he just whispered to her: "The empress's face has to be taken care of." After speaking, he ordered Zhang Qin: "Lanxi is not good at investigating people, dragging down thirty sticks."

Lan Xi fell to her knees on the ground with a "plop", and repeatedly yelled for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I know I was wrong!"

But the emperor ignored her, Zhang Qin came over and wanted to take her out, thinking of the imperial concubine, he said politely: "Miss, let's go."

Lan Xi glanced at Concubine Li Gui, finally stopped shouting, and followed Zhang Qin out with a sad face.

Seeing Concubine Li Gui's gloomy and unhappy appearance, the queen was very happy, but then she thought that Concubine Li Gui was not harmed, and she suddenly hated in her heart, turned her head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Lanxi is probably listening to others. order to do..."

"Okay!" The emperor's expression was already very displeased.

The queen jumped down, too busy to say another word.

Seeing this, everyone knew that the emperor was not happy, so they were all cautious.The entire banquet was passed in a tense atmosphere. Concubine Li Gui's condition improved a lot after drinking the decoction, but she still had a sad expression on her face.

The emperor was heartbroken when he saw it, and he followed her back to the room after the banquet.

At the end of the song, everyone left the table. Wang Momo also helped Su Ruiran up, and said to her, "Miss, let's go back quickly."

Su Ruiran got up, and when she turned to leave, she looked at the seat opposite her.

Nangong Ling also stood up, and just as he was about to turn around to leave, his eyes suddenly met hers.

There is silence all around, only the sound of insects.Ethereal and ignorant of human language.The moonlight was hidden behind the dark clouds, and even the stars could not be seen. There seemed to be distant mountains overlapping in the distance, which were blurred in the dark night, so that people could not see clearly no matter how they looked.

"Let's go." Su Ruiran turned her head and was about to leave with Wang Momo, when she suddenly fainted on the ground in front of her eyes, she heard Wang Momo exclaiming in surprise, which caused a lot of chaos around her, and she would completely ignore what happened next I no longer know.
