Concubine Jin's words shocked everyone present.
Shen Qingyi's body "trembled" slightly, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "To the Queen, I just happened to pass by the Imperial Garden and saw the eldest prince falling into the water. I rushed to save him. I had no intention of harming the second prince!"
"You bitch! How dare you make sophistry!" Concubine Jin seemed to have decided that Shen Qingyi was "conspired to murder the emperor's heir" and said firmly: "Besides you, who else would hate me?!"
Shen Qingyi endured the pain and kowtowed repeatedly: "I am unjustly accused, I am unjustly accused..."
However, while Shen Qingyi kowtowed, she secretly kept time in her heart.
three……
two……
one! !
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The moment Shen Qingyi raised his head, he glanced at Lu Luo who was following Eunuch Xia, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Came just in time!
"I heard that the second prince fell into the water. How is he doing now?"
As soon as Jamel Xiao arrived, the queen immediately gave up her position.
Concubine Jin also seemed to suddenly have a backbone. She pointed at Shen Qingyi and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the second prince fell into the water. When I hurried to Qianli Pond, I found Shen Meiren lying beside the second prince. This must have something to do with it. She has nothing to do with it!"
Jamel Xiao frowned and looked at Shen Qingyi who was kneeling in the center of the hall.
Shen Qingyi, who had just fallen into the water, seemed to be infected by the wind and cold. Her pale cheeks became more delicate, especially the red mark on her forehead, which made her look even more fragile, making people feel pity for her.
This was the first time that Jamel Xiao saw Shen Qingyi. It was not in line with the rumored "looks like no salt". For a moment, he was a little curious: "Shen Meiren, does Concubine Jin really mean what she said?"
Shen Qingyi forced a smile: "I dare to ask Concubine Jin, I only met you once this morning when I paid my respects. There is no grievance or enmity. Why did you want to murder the second prince?"
When Concubine Jin was questioned in this way, she immediately wanted to tell her about her scolding of Shen Qingyi that morning, but she thought that Jamel Xiao was sitting next to her. She was afraid of leaving the impression of "humiliating the concubine" to Jamel Xiao, so she immediately stopped talking.
"Reporting to the Emperor, concubine and Luluo accidentally came to the Imperial Garden to admire the plum blossoms. They heard the cry of the second prince coming from Qianli Pond, so they went into the water to save the second prince. Luluo was also at the scene at that time. She could help concubine Testify!" Shen Qingyi's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, not evasive, but quite convincing.
Concubine Jin secretly gritted her teeth, secretly hating Shen Qingyi's "clever words and seductiveness".
Jamel Xiao looked at Shen Qingyi's light, watery eyes, which seemed to be full of trust in him. For some reason, he felt a different kind of tenderness in his heart: "So, Concubine Jin has wronged you?"
Shen Qingyi said: "My dear concubine is very protective of her son, I can be considerate of this."
Seeing that the matter was about to come to an end, Qiao Guibi could not sit still anymore and sarcastically said softly: "Ms. Shen's words are wrong. There was no one else by Qianli Pond at that time, and Luluo is your maid, so of course she will help you testify." !”
When Shen Qingyi heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up without any trace.
Very good, the hook that has been buried in the bait can finally be thrown out.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, I have a piece of evidence in my hands that can help me find the murderer who pushed the second prince into the water!"
Hearing this, Concubine Qiao suddenly grabbed her sleeves.
The queen was shocked: "Is this beautiful Shen serious?"
Shen Qingyi said: "The incident happened suddenly, and the concubine was also panicked. The more she thought about it afterwards, the more wrong she became, so she asked Luluo to investigate. Only then did she find out that the two young eunuchs who had been with the second prince earlier were killed when the second prince fell into the water. An angry palace maid was called away, but Lu Luo checked and found that the palace maid had drowned in the well."
Hearing this, Concubine Qiao felt relieved and sneered, "If that's the case, does that mean there's no proof?"
Shen Qingyi glanced at Concubine Qiao and continued: "Concubine Qiao asked Luluo to investigate the footprints beside Qianli Pond. She found that the footprints of the second prince were followed by the footprints of a woman, so she invited someone from the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to After identifying it, I found out that the style of this shoe belongs to Duckweed, the first-class palace maid next to Concubine Qiao of Jingyue Zhai!"
As soon as the words fell, the grass and trees were shocked.
Concubine Qiao's face turned pale instantly, and she stood up with a slap on the table: "Beauty Shen, how dare you slander me!"
Shen Qingyi straightened her chest and said without any fear: "Your Majesty is here, right and wrong can be known by just asking!"
At the right time, Jamel Xiao shouted angrily: "Qiao Guifei, what else do you have to say!"

The three talents in the purple level: [Hands like catkins], [Collar like a caterpillar], and [Slender waist] respectively correspond to the three parts of the body: the hands, neck, and waist. For women, each part is They are all equivalent to a second face.
Shen Qingyi glanced at the situation, her eyes fell on Jamel Xiao, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a determination to win.
[Exchange talent - slim waist! 】
[Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for spending *3 palace points and successfully redeeming the purple talent—Slim Waist! 】
Every promotion in the [Gongdou Development System] is backward compatible.
For example, Shen Qingyi has now been promoted to purple, so naturally the talents contained in the previous white and gray levels are still there.
"Come here! Kill the palace maid Duckweed with a cane, and send all the servants serving the second prince today to the Sentence Department! As for Concubine Qiao..."
Looking at Jamel Xiao's frosty face, Qiao Guibi trembled.
Just when Xiao Jingyan was about to punish him severely, the maid Ducky immediately kowtowed to stop him and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me! It's all my fault that I was so fascinated by the scenery of Qianli Pond that I didn't notice that the Second Prince was by the river. No. I accidentally knocked down the second prince. I know that my sin is serious, so I will die today to apologize and ask the emperor to forgive me!"
After Duckweed finished speaking, he slammed into the pillar and died after touching the pillar.
Seeing the blood stains remaining on the ground, all the concubines turned their heads away.
Jamel Xiao glanced at Concubine Qiao who was lying limply on the ground in disgust: "Concubine Qiao is not good at disciplining her servants, so she has been demoted to the rank of Xiaoyi. From now on, she will move to the side hall of Jingyue Zhai, and she will sit behind closed doors and reflect on her mistakes. No edicts will be issued!"
As Jamel Xiao finished his last words, the matter of the second prince falling into the water was finally settled.
Jamel Xiao stood up and helped Shen Qingyi up.
At this moment, Jamel Xiao discovered that the girl's slender waist, measured with two palms, was not even enough to hold in one hand, and she was unparalleled in beauty.
"Shen Meiren has made great achievements in rescuing the second prince, and also found the murderer of the 'murder of the emperor's heir'. She will give a Chishui ruby as a reward." Xiao Jamyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Qingyi: "You have suffered great injustice this time. , but what else do you want?”
Shen Qingyi's eyes flashed sharply, and she shook her head softly: "I can share the worries of the Emperor and the Queen, and I have nothing else to ask for."
Hearing this, Jamel Xiao indeed showed a satisfied look on his face.
[Ding dong! I hope the host escapes from "Testing Ambition" and gains Palace Fighting Points*1! 】
Concubine Jin on the side grabbed her handkerchief and glared at Shen Qingyi fiercely.
Another coward!
Seeing that Jamel Xiao was about to take Shen Qingyi away, Concubine Yu suddenly grabbed Jamel Xiao's sleeve and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are only looking after Sister Shen, and you have almost forgotten about my concubine."
Jamel Xiao smiled softly and tapped the tip of Concubine Yu's nose: "How could I forget you? Let's go to Fengluan Palace for dinner today."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone left, the sound of cracking porcelain was heard in Yong'an Palace.
Concubine Jin slammed the vase on the table against the wall and cursed angrily: "You concubine Yu! How dare you intercept someone in my Yong'an Palace!"
The maid Yingchun also had an angry look on her face: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu is too presumptuous. The second prince is already sick, yet she dares to drag the emperor away. However, according to maid Yinu, the one who is even more hateful is this Beauty Shen." , actually won the emperor's attention by stepping on the second prince and falling into the water."
Concubine Jin looked sinister and snorted coldly: "Concubine Qiao deserves to die! I won't let Shen Qingyi off! No matter who dares to step on my honor and favor, I will let her know what it means." Life is worse than death'!"
…
Outside Yong'an Palace.
Luluo supported Shen Qingyi and walked slowly towards the door. Hearing the noise coming from behind, she couldn't help but turn around frequently: "Little Master, just now..."
Shen Qingyi brushed a strand of hair behind her ears and smiled faintly: "I relied on the 'murder of the emperor's heir' to win the emperor's favor; while Concubine Yu ignored the fact that the second prince was still ill and took him away. Having lost the emperor's favor, Concubine Jin must be furious now!"
First, he made things difficult for himself on the way to greet him, and then after the second prince fell into the water, he slapped himself indiscriminately.
Concubine Jin, it’s not that I won’t repay it, it’s that the time has not come yet!
Hearing this, Luluo became even more worried: "The noble concubine is arrogant and the concubine Jin is domineering. I'm afraid they won't let the young master off easily."
"What are you afraid of?" Shen Qingyi pursed her lips: "If nothing else happens, it will be my turn to sleep with you tonight."
"Little Master!!" Luluo covered her mouth in surprise.
Shen Qingyi tapped Lu Luo's forehead: "I have to thank you this time for helping me notify Eunuch Xia in time."
Lu Luo smiled sweetly: "Eunuch Xia once received a meal from my wife, he will definitely not die without saving her..."
After Shen Qingyi and Lu Luo left, Miao Meiren supported the queen and walked out of the alley of Yong'an Palace.
Watching Shen Qingyi's walking back, the queen stroked the begonia flowers on her temples and looked at Miao Meiren beside her: "You know why I chose you instead of Shen Qingyi, do you know?"
The Miao beauty said solemnly: "I don't know."
The queen smiled slightly and said: "Because you are different from Shen Qingyi. Although you have scheming intentions, you are willing to obey me, but I cannot see through Shen Qingyi's scheming."
Hearing this, Meiren Miao looked at the Queen in surprise: "Meimei Shen has a plan? Queen, are you wrong? At the beginning, Meiren Shen was bullied by the young eunuch and almost couldn't even return to the palace. I really didn't notice it... …”
The queen turned around, with a trace of contempt flashing in her eyes, and said meaningfully: "You can't just look at people by their appearance."
…
There are eight new beautiful ladies in the palace.
However, Shen Qingyi, as the poorest-looking among the beautiful women, actually came out on top and became the first beautiful woman to serve in bed.
Simply jaw-dropping!
