Ye Nong said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't forget that the eunuch is also a man. Although he no longer has the lifeblood of a man, he still has the heart of a man. It is natural for men to like women!"
Lan Lin stared at Ye Nong, knowing that her last words were actually a slap in the face and a mockery of his masculine nature.
He didn't want to argue with Ye Nong anymore, and what that bastard Lin Xie said just now was just poking his heart. He wanted to ask another person involved whether it was true or false.
"Hua Jue, I want to ask you, what exactly did you and Eunuch Lin do in the Royal Garden?"
Hua Jue knelt on the ground, her legs weak from fear. The Queen was powerful enough before, but now things have gotten worse and she even stabbed him in front of His Majesty.
Damn Lin Xie, I wonder what he wants to do? He and Empress Qingyi are obviously sworn enemies, but why did they appear in the Royal Garden at the same time tonight?
Hua Jue's mind was racing. He thought that Queen Qingyi would step forward and signal him to listen to Lin Xie. Maybe the Queen wanted to frame her. Lin Xie happened to appear in the imperial garden again. If he didn't take the blame, then today The crime of having a tryst with Lin Xie at night will fall on Empress Qingyi.
That's something that will kill your head. Queen Ye Nong is ruthless and merciless. She and Lin Xie can be wrongfully accused like this when they are clearly innocent, let alone Empress Qingyi. The matter is even bigger. At this point, I can only carry it all the way to the end by myself, which can be regarded as fulfilling the love of master and servant.
Hua Jue trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Hua Jue... Hua Jue and my father-in-law really love each other!"
Lan Lin almost stopped being laughed at by Hua Jue. He pointed to Lin Xie who was kneeling on the ground and asked Hua Jue: "Do you know what you are talking about? He is a eunuch! Do you like him?"
Hua Jue wondered what happened to the eunuch? Doesn't Your Majesty like him very much?
Of course, she didn't dare to say such bold words, otherwise she would be so angry that Lan Lin would roll his eyes on the spot.
She just said: "Although Eunuch Lin is a eunuch, he is as handsome as a jade tree and makes people's hearts move. I don't mind him being a eunuch! I want to follow him for the rest of my life!"
"Ahahaha! Ahahaha!" Lan Lin was probably so angry at the couple in front of him that he threw his head back and laughed wildly.
Ye Nong sneered and said: "The parties involved have admitted it, and there is this mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, but it is their token of love! There are both witnesses and physical evidence, your majesty still doesn't believe it?"
Lan Lin turned around and saw the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief handed over by Ye Nong. He held it in his hand and narrowed his eyes coldly.
He seemed to have seen this mandarin duck brocade handkerchief somewhere. Even though it was only a quick glance, he already recognized that this mandarin duck brocade handkerchief seemed to be something Qingyi used during the day.
Lan Lin looked at Lin Xie with cold eyes, and Lin Xie raised his head and accidentally looked at each other. Lin Xie couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart when he saw Lan Lin's expression after reading the brocade handkerchief.
If he recognized that the Jinpa belonged to Qingyi, then there would be a loophole in the lie he told Hua Jue tonight.
However, Lan Lin didn't dare to completely confirm who the Yuanyang Jinpa belonged to at this time, and he was only half-convinced about Lin Xie and Hua Jue's words. He refused to believe that all this was true, so he was more inclined to believe that the Jinpa was from Qing Dynasty. clothes.
But if the brocade handkerchief belongs to Qingyi, why does it appear on Lin Xie? Who are Lin Xie and Hua Jue trying to protect by lying? Is it Qingyi? So what is the relationship between Lin Xie and Qingyi?
Lan Lin held the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief tightly, feeling that the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He did not dare to think deeply, and just wanted to end all conflicts on the surface. He waved his hand and said: "Take Lin Xie and Hua Jue to be imprisoned, Gu, The trial will be held tomorrow!”
He just felt a splitting headache and didn't want to think about it anymore. I just want to be out of sight and out of mind, and put this matter off until one night.
Ye Nong's plan failed. She thought Lan Lin would punish Lin Xie in anger, but she didn't expect that he would dote on a man so much.
"Your Majesty—" Ye Nong was unconvinced and wanted to say something else.
Lan Lin turned around and said, "Lin Xie belongs to Gu, and Gu has his own plans! Thank you for your hard work, Queen, please step back!"
Ye Nong was unwilling to give in, stared and thought to himself, this bitch has really pissed me off, it seems - he can't keep it!
It was a stormy night, and it was estimated that no one in Zhuilan Palace slept well.
Qingyi returned to Chenxi Palace, always worried about Lin Xie's safety, but she didn't dare to go and inquire rashly.
She was not a fool. Knowing that Queen Ye Nong suddenly brought people to the Royal Garden to block her, someone must have seen her secretly going to see Lin Xie.
She immediately understood that there was Queen Ye Nong's spy in Chenxi Palace, and she did not dare to act rashly for fear of harming Lin Xie.
She sat on the bed and waited until dawn, but she didn't see Hua Jue coming back. She knew that the matter must be quite troublesome, and she was afraid that it would spread throughout the whole Zhuilan Palace tomorrow morning.
No one came to Chenxi Palace to look for her that night. It seemed that she had escaped. As long as Lin Xie was around, he would try his best to protect her and not let anything happen to her. She was afraid that he would protect her so desperately. , which will eventually implicate him.
Qingyi had been worried all night and had no intention of sleeping. Unknowingly, it was daylight.
I heard the maid's knock on the door: "Mother, my servant has brought you some washing water!"
Qingyi was startled. Unknowingly, she had been sitting until dawn. She looked at her haggard face after staying up all night and the headdress that had not been taken off, and said, "You guys wait outside the door for a while!"
"Yes - empress!"
Qingyi hurriedly took off the hair accessories on her head one by one, put on the clothes she wore when sleeping, loosened her long hair, put down the curtains hanging on both sides of the bed, and lay down on the bed. Then he said: "Come in!"
Two maids walked in from the door, one of them was Yuwei, Queen Ye Nong's spy who had been placed beside her.
Qingyi opened the bed curtain and looked at the two people busy at the side, thinking deeply in her heart. Since she regained the favor of King Zhui Lan, Lan Lin has added new maids to her Chenxi Palace.
The two people in front of me entered Chenxi Palace at that time, and there were many like them. However, Qingyi still liked Hua Jue to serve her, so there was no room for them to interfere.
She asked deliberately: "Why isn't Hua Jue here to serve me today?"
"Back to you, Madam, something happened to Hua Jue last night. He was captured by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" The person who answered her was Yu Wei. She said this deliberately because she actually wanted to test Qing Yi.
Qingyi frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly did she commit? Why was she arrested?"
Yuwei put down the washbasin and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know? Last night, Hua Jue and Eunuch Lin Xie had a tryst in the Imperial Garden, and they were caught on the spot by the Queen. Later, the matter was brought to His Majesty's side, and His Majesty ordered The two of them are imprisoned in the sky prison, waiting to be punished!"
"What?" Qingyi was shocked.
Yuwei's eyes widened and she looked at her as if she was gloating about her misfortune. Qingyi lowered her head and her eyebrows trembled. She clenched the sheets with her hands, feeling uneasy.
But then she thought about it, she still didn't know who the spy sent by the queen was. Maybe there was someone from the queen in front of her. She must not mess up her position. The queen was waiting to grab her pigtails.
She calmed down and said, "Is this true?"
Yuwei didn't see the scene she wanted. She thought Qingyi would go crazy on the spot, but she didn't expect that she was very calm. She seemed to be a difficult empress to deal with!
Yuwei replied: "There is no result yet, we need to wait for His Majesty's decision!"
Qingyi reached out to take the towel and wiped her face, and said in a cold voice: "If that damn girl Hua Jue really dares to do such a thing that violates the palace rules, it's really abominable!"
After Qingyi finished speaking, she slammed the towel in her hand into the golden basin. Yuwei, who was holding the golden basin, was immediately splashed with water.
Seeing this, Yuwei hurriedly knelt down and said, "My queen, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Tianchen Palace.
Mu Cang handed the June Snow Fragrance Powder bought from Tianxiang Pavilion to Fu An. Fu An looked at the delicate porcelain white box, then curled his red lips and said with a smile: "Mu Cang, you did a good job! By the way. Where is the herring jade pendant I asked you to redeem?"
Mu Cang hurriedly took out an emerald-carved herring jade pendant from his arms and handed it to him. Before leaving the palace, Mu Cang wanted to see Hua Jue first and ask her about the herring jade pendant, but later he heard that Hua Jue was imprisoned. After entering the prison, there is no chance to meet him.
Mu Cang didn't dare to give the real herring jade pendant to Eunuch Fu before he understood the matter. After buying the fragrant powder, he stood outside the Tianxiang Pavilion and wandered around. Suddenly he saw the jade shop opposite and suddenly thought of an idea. .
He used the money Fu'an gave him to buy a good-quality herring jade pendant from a jade shop. Of course, although this herring jade pendant was finely made, it was different from the one Qingyi had.
Mu Cang thought to himself, Fu'an didn't know what the herring jade pendant he picked up looked like anyway, so he just bought one and went back to fool him, assuming that this was the one he picked up that day.
Fu'an took the herring jade pendant that Mu Cang handed over and looked at it carefully. He couldn't see any clues. He just pretended to appreciate it and said: "Well! Not bad, you wait here, I will send Liuyue Xue to the Queen. See if she gives any sign."
"Yes!" Mu Cang nodded and stood waiting outside the door.
Fu'an walked into Queen Ye Nong's palace. Ye Nong was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the phoenix hairpin that the palace maid had inserted for her. She felt that it was not what she wanted. When she thought about it, this phoenix hairpin was given to her by Lan Lin on her birthday. , immediately got angry, tore it off and threw it on the ground, frightening the two palace ladies to kneel down and kowtow.
"Queen, this slave deserves to die for his crime! He deserves to die for his crime!"
Ye Nong said in a cold voice: "What are you guilty of? The innocent ones keep saying that they deserve to die, but the guilty ones are all locked up in the sky jail and are fine! It's really abominable! You go down -"
"Yes - the Queen!" The two maids turned around and left in fear.
Fu'an came over with a box of exquisite fragrant powder, knelt in front of Ye Nong, and whispered softly: "The Queen, please calm down. I heard the Queen chatting with Madam Warring States before, and Madam Warring States said something about Tianxiang Pavilion." The Queen seems to be interested in the newly-born June Snow, so I bought a box for you. Although the vulgar powder outside is not as good as the ones in the palace, it is still fresh and interesting, and I asked the Queen to take a look at it. !”
