Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The finger is going to fall.

Cui Hao's eyes widened and he kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, empress, this matter has nothing to do with me. I really don't know anything and would never have the guts to do such a thing——"

Although no one knew what Concubine Shu said just now, now Cui Hao is shouting that he is innocent and he understands in his heart.

Liang Huan kicked him over: "You bitch, you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you. If it's not you, could it be this palace and the queen?"

Zhou Yun looked unhappy and hesitated to speak.

The people watching next to me couldn't stand it: "I think it is really inappropriate for Concubine Shu to handle it this way."

Liang Huan did not refute, and only whispered to Gao Qian: "Your Majesty, it is not inappropriate to conduct a detailed investigation after the banquet. I am not suggesting this to hide the truth. A detailed investigation will take time, and I don't know when it will happen." Secondly, if there is no conclusion on this matter before the banquet is over, I am afraid that after today, everything will be said, and even if the truth is found out in the end, it will inevitably be affected by the rumors."

Everyone was silent, it was undeniable that this was the case.

The Queen Mother gently raised her eyes without saying a word.

Gao Qian glanced at the expressions of several people and said, "Just do as Concubine Shu said."

Cui Hao fell to the ground. After hearing this, he got up and continued to kneel and beg for mercy, begging for this and that.

Liang Huan knelt down, grabbed him, and said softly: "As a chamberlain, it is only right to die for your master."

After saying that, he glanced at Cao Ruomi and said, "If it turns out that you were really wronged later, I and the Queen will remember your goodness!"

Cui Hao looked around as if asking for help, but no one interceded for him. He climbed straight to Cao Ruomi's feet and tried his best to defend himself:

"Empress, I am unjustly accused. I have never touched the jade statue from beginning to end. You have seen it. Everyone says that you are the most kind-hearted in this palace. I am really unjustly accused..."

The courtiers of the past are now the chamberlains, and their voices of complaint are harsh.

The palace servants looked at it with sadness and couldn't help but secretly glance at the queen.

Everyone knows that the Queen has soft ears and an even softer heart. She usually cannot even hear a loud voice. In all the years she has been in the palace, she has never been seen down and out.

Everyone knows that in Zhaoyang Palace, they are not afraid of angering the queen, but they are afraid of angering Aunt Wenjin.

Cao Ruomi couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to help him up: "This is really -"

Liang Huan rushed to the palace servants standing aside and said angrily: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you drag this sinful slave down and beat him to death! Is it possible that he is bullying the Queen to talk easily?"

The palace servant looked away, lowered his head and stepped forward to drag the person. Cui Hao hugged Cao Ruomi's feet with both hands as if grasping a life-saving straw. No matter how hard he dragged, Cui Hao never let go.

Liang Huan had a cold face and a cold heart, completely unmoved.

Cao Luyun never raised his head from beginning to end.

"Wait!"

Cao Danqing couldn't bear it any longer and took a step to stop him.

Liang Huan raised an eyebrow and looked over: "Why does Mrs. Taiwei have other high opinions?"

Cao Danqing looked at Liang Huan very puzzled and didn't understand why he seemed to be a different person.

She thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, I have boldly made false claims. Since we need to investigate carefully, after the whole story is found out, if it is really the servant who did it, it will not be too late to execute him! Why pay for one in vain now?" life?"

When Cui Hao saw someone speaking out to defend him, he gathered all his strength and continued to cry out for injustice.

Liang Huan sighed softly and felt helpless: "Madam Taiwei, this is related to the reputation of the queen and the royal family. How can we wait until the truth is found out?"

"Besides, if the jade statue passed through his hands, how could he know that it was not his fault?"

She glanced at the palace man coldly: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you drag it on quickly!"

Cao Danqing stared at her in surprise, in disbelief. He had no choice but to place his hope on Cao Ruomi.

"Empress, we all can see clearly that he was just holding the box and didn't touch the jade statue at all. How could it be him? What is the difference between executing him so unclearly and killing innocent people indiscriminately? "

No one present knew this, but both the emperor and the queen mother agreed, so who could say anything?

"Sister!" Cao Danqing frowned anxiously, that's all. She didn't believe that her sister could be so cold-hearted.

When the surrounding eyes fell on his face, Cao Ruomi hesitated.

Even if she knew it had nothing to do with Cui Hao, she could not let him take the blame and be put to death at this time, waiting for a detailed investigation. Who knows how long the investigation would take. One more day of waiting and one more day of rumors would not do her any good.

But if someone is put to death like this, even if the truth is found out, won't she be charged with killing an innocent person in vain? It doesn't match her reputation as a virtuous person, and it will also make people talk about her.

Cao Ruomi was in a dilemma and gritted his teeth with hatred.

On the other side, Liang Huan was very calm and said lightly: "Your Majesty, the Queen's birthday banquet is only halfway through. We really shouldn't continue to make trouble like this. It's too ugly-"

Are you still thinking about having fun at this time?

Looking at her with a strange look, Liang Han didn't realize it. Anyway, she was a person with a bad reputation. No matter how bad she was, how bad could she be?

When Zhou Yun's words reached his lips, he took them back and said to Gao Qian: "Your Majesty, I also think that this matter should not be handled so hastily."

He took a stand, and the people next to him agreed.

Seeing this, Cao Ruomi could only say: "Your Majesty, I would rather let the world misunderstand me than die in vain."

Cao Danqing was overjoyed and held the queen's hand.

Liang Huan glanced briefly, shook his head and sighed: "That's all, you all have a Bodhisattva heart, I am the evil one, check it out, check it out slowly, check it carefully later."

She turned her head and said angrily: "Yuan Zhi, collect all the broken jade and give it to Zhou Taiwei. Not even a piece is missing. I also want to know who wants to harm me!"

Yuan Zhi lowered her head and responded, leading the palace maids to pick them up everywhere, fearing that they might be left behind.

Cui Hao burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.

Liang Huan snorted softly: "Don't be too happy too early, maybe it's you who did it!"

Cui Hao trembled and lowered his head.

Gao Qian waved his hand tiredly: "Zhou Yun, I'll leave this matter to you."

The Queen Mother hugged the Prince and solemnly emphasized: "We must find out clearly."

They both responded in unison.

Gao Qian's eyes were cold: "There should be no unreasonable discussion before this matter is concluded."

After a little cleaning, the interrupted banquet continued.

Although the Lord forbids discussion, people have mouths, and there are so many mouths open at once, so there is no way to control them.

Cao Ruomi was still sitting at the same table with Gao Qian. He glanced at Liang Han who looked calm and he really didn't believe that it had nothing to do with her.

Look at the situation below and the banquet. No matter how calm you look on the face, who can control what you are thinking in your heart?

Her heart was filled with anger, and she sat down on her knees with her eyelids lowered in annoyance, completely losing her mind about celebrating her birthday.

Liang Han pursed her lips slightly.

Isn't it just rumors?

As the saying goes, hearing with the ears is false, but seeing with the eyes is true.

Isn't this more convincing?

Most of the people were immersed in their meals, and some of them were clever and cute. They came out at the right time to toast and congratulate each other. After deliberately forgetting, the lively atmosphere was restored.

Gao Qian glanced at the calm man and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"This bowl of yokan I have given to Concubine Shu."

Just two words about yokan, Liang Han is about to vomit.

Want to disgust her again?

Liang Huan raised her lips: "I don't dare to enjoy His Majesty's reward to myself. I just said that I want to take good care of Mrs. Anding Hou, why not give her half of it?"

Gao Qian snorted coldly and agreed.

Yuan Zhi stepped forward to share the food.

Cao Luyun thanked him for tasting it.

Liang Huan stared at half of the yokan, feeling nausea welling up. He gritted his teeth and picked up the small bowl to pour it down.

With a bang, the soup cup was knocked over.

I was out of town and my laptop ran out of battery. I'm really sorry that it was later than expected.
