"Click!"
The tightly closed small wooden box was thrown on the small table where Jiang Xinyue and the emperor were drinking tea, making a muffled sound that displeased Emperor Xuanwu.
Empress Zhu is like a victorious rooster, virile and high-spirited. Her expression seems to be saying: "Zhen concubine, let me catch you, right? You are dead this time."
Jiang Xinyue shook slightly, as if she was frightened, and the emperor became even more unhappy.
Those affectionate peach blossom eyes were full of frost, and they raised their eyes to look at Queen Zhu: "Queen, are you too presumptuous in front of me? Who taught you to dare to throw things in front of me?"
Empress Zhu immediately admitted her mistake: "I was too panicked for a moment and slipped out by mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
But she thought in her heart that when the emperor loved Concubine Zhen the most, she found a reason to execute Concubine Zhen, and it was reasonable for the emperor to hate her in a short period of time.
There's no way to please anyone, so what's going to happen if she's so presumptuous?
As time goes by, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will fade away, no matter how strong the hatred is, they will fade away, and she will still be his queen.
"What's this?"
"What is it? Your Majesty, won't you know if you open it and take a look?"
Empress Zhu winked at Yang Er, who immediately knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Returning to the emperor, I am the slave girl Yang Er of the Zasa Palace in Hexi Palace. I am the slave... I am the slave who reported to the Empress the Queen about Concubine Zhen. I am the slave. I happened to see Sister Magpie next to Concubine Zhen holding this box. She peeked out of curiosity. Inside was the witchcraft villain of the Emperor and the Queen. It was covered with steel needles. Concubine Zhen was cursing the Emperor. and the Queen. I felt scared in my heart, fearing that the Emperor and the Queen were really cursed, so... so I went to report to the Queen with all my heart."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I really didn't intend to betray Concubine Zhen. I just don't want to see Concubine Zhen make the same mistake again and again."
"What did you say?"
The magpie stared at her: "You... why are you talking nonsense? When did I get the witchcraft villain? I have never even seen this box. Who bribed you and gave you how much money to let you come? The one who framed Concubine Zhen?"
"No slave!"
Yang Er said loudly: "Everything that slave said is true. If the emperor doesn't believe it, just open the box and take a look, and you will know whether slave has lied."
That medium-sized wooden box seemed to contain something extraordinary, yes, it contained Concubine Zhen’s wealth and life.
Emperor Xuanwu's fingers turned white when he pinched them. He wanted to look but didn't dare.
For nothing else...
He was afraid that she was doing it to vent her anger when he and Jiang Xinyue had a fight some time ago.
If it was really her who did it, he couldn't open the box.
The queen and the good concubine were watching him with eager eyes. If they knew about it, the entire former harem would know about it. Even if he wanted to protect Jiang Xinyue, he would be drowned in spittle.
He knew that he had lost his mind because of a woman, but his first reaction was not how to deal with Jiang Xinyue, but how to refuse to open the box, and then send the queen and the concubine away, and then he would think of a way to burn the box. Come on, I will refuse to admit it.
What bad thoughts could Concubine Zhen have?
She definitely didn't mean it.
Things that people do in anger cannot be counted.
"Is the Emperor thinking about how to exonerate Concubine Zhen?"
Otherwise, how can we say that Queen Zhu is the wife of Emperor Xuanwu?
She knew the emperor better than anyone else.
The emperor remained calm and silent, and Empress Zhu said aggressively: "Your Majesty, please stop thinking about such unrealistic things. Before I came, I had notified all the concubines in the harem to come to Hexi Palace and wait. At this time, there should be There are people standing here, waiting for you to deal with Concubine Zhen!"
Jiang Xinyue's bedroom was already crowded with concubines. They heard the quarrels coming from the inner room and did not dare to express their anger.
The conscience of heaven and earth was not that they came to see the emperor, the queen, the good concubine, and concubine Zhen, who were fighting for their magic, but that someone went to their palace and said that concubine Zhen was practicing witchcraft in the palace, and the emperor wanted to punish Zhen. Concubine, let everyone in the harem come and take a look, so that you can warn yourself not to do anything wrong.
The emperor really loved his concubine, and even tolerated witchcraft. He even wanted to clear her name and pretend that nothing happened.
"Pfft!"
The light-hearted laughter seemed very abrupt in the serious atmosphere, but the person who laughed was actually Concubine Zhen?
Shouldn't she be crying and begging for mercy?
"why are you laughing?"
Liang Fei covered the injury on her face: "Why are you laughing?"
"I am laughing at you, the Queen and Sister Liangfei!"
Jiang Xinyue smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Before I entered the palace, my mother said that the women in the palace were very scheming, and told me to be careful not to become a sister easily. It turned out that I didn't believe it, so I Since I entered the palace, the Queen, Liang Fei and De Fei have been very good to me. I have also abide by my duties and have never had any conflicts with them. Later, I became favored by the emperor, first Liang Fei. Your Majesty, you suddenly attacked me and put me in trouble in every possible way. Now there is a queen who rushes to convict me without even opening the box. This really chills me!"
Empress Zhu frowned, her eyes jumped wildly, and a bad premonition came to her heart. She reached out to grab the box on the table, but was pushed away by Emperor Xuanwu. He took the box in his hand and finally opened the mysterious " veil".
"hiss--"
The sight inside the box made Emperor Xuanwu take a breath.
He widened his eyes, looked at the little man in the box, and then at Jiang Xinyue who was holding back tears. A huge anger created a tsunami in his heart.
Empress Zhu muttered: "Your Majesty, inside..."
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
He slapped Empress Zhu on the face with all the anger he had accumulated, sending her flying backwards.
That dignified and delicate face quickly swelled up at an incredible speed, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Her mind was buzzing, and it seemed that the part of the ear that had been hit couldn't hear the sound clearly.
After a long while, she stood up with help from others and looked at the two witchcraft dolls thrown to the ground by the emperor: "How...how could this happen?"
One of the little dolls was the emperor. His body was covered with large steel needles and small silver needles. Those silver needles were inserted from the top of the doll's head to the soles of his feet. They were so densely packed that it made one's scalp numb.
But the other little baby is obviously not the queen. Her birthday... her birthday is Jiang Xinyue! ! ? ?
The little baby's face was smeared with black dog blood, giving off a stench, her hair was messed up, and two large steel needles were inserted into the bulging belly, aiming at Concubine Zhen's belly.
Liang Fei was also frightened so much that she turned to look at Yang Er.
The little palace maid named Yang Er was so frightened that she almost fainted. Jiang Xinyue felt that her body kneeling on the ground was shaking like Parkinson's disease.
