"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Come and see me, my concubine is innocent!" Concubine An in death row cried out heartbreakingly, but no one paid any attention to her. The evidence is convincing that the brocade box was given to Huo Jie by her The request to hand over to Pan Ran, although the suspicion of Huo Jie's attack was not ruled out, but because of the tightness of the cloth bag, it was wrapped in many layers, and because of this caution, the possibility of Huo Jie's attack was ruled out.

"Stop yelling, stop yelling, I'm so annoying." The jailer angrily knocked on the cell door with a knife, calming Concubine An smoothly.

Concubine An who was frightened did not make any more noise, she only dared to whisper, "Your Majesty, I am really innocent, I did not lay down the poisonous powder, it was not me." There is a Dripping Avalokitesvara plant inside. In order to keep it alive, Concubine An specially placed the Dripping Avalokitesvara in an exquisite jade-colored flower bed. The flower beds are all water, and it is because of this that they are wrapped in layers of cloth. .

As an ornamental plant, the dripping Avalokitesvara is very poisonous. Touching it or eating it by mistake can cause suffocation or even death. Concubine An admits that she is uneasy and kind. She wants Pan Ran to die, and has always been, but the poisonous powder is not hers. Yes, she doesn't want to be someone else's scapegoat.

Concubine An was sent to death row, and Pan Ran was the first to know about it, but he still felt that the matter was not that simple, as if there was a pair of hands behind to push everything forward.

"What are you thinking?" Long Hui stretched out his hand to caress between Pan Ran's frowning brows.

"Your Majesty, there is something strange about this matter." Pan Ran's intuition told herself that Concubine An was not the real mastermind behind the scenes.

"Guess it? Indeed, it wasn't Concubine An who did it, and the murderer was someone else, but she couldn't escape it." Long Hui seemed to be very clear about how this happened, and who was innocent and who was guilty .

Pan Ran didn't understand why she still wanted An Fei to die even though she knew who the murderer was. The nature of the two crimes of attempted murder is completely different from that of attempted murder. You can directly ground her feet or lower her status, and there is no need to destroy her.

"She hurt you, even if she doesn't succeed, she will definitely die." Long Hui's power spread all over the palace, not to mention such a small matter, what happened around Pan Ran would be reported to Long Hui on a regular basis every day, so he naturally Knowing who spread the poisonous powder on the brocade box, it was precisely because of knowing that she was suspicious of Mei Qing's identity and became wary.

"..." Long Hui really knew that Concubine An was not guilty of death, but Pan Ran didn't have that much sympathy for a person who wanted to harm him, he was more suspicious.

Holding the boy in gray in his arms, Long Hui felt that it was not enough. He wished to integrate the boy into his body, feel his every move, every breath, everything was ready, and he just waited for the time to come.

Concubine An was sent to death row, which Pan Yuanrou was happy to see happen. Now her status is increasing day by day, no one in the harem can be more glorious than her, but these honors are just superficial, Long Hui has never been in her palace , if you want to consolidate your position, you must have children.

I don’t know how many innocent lives were killed in this palace for the sake of favor and wealth, but some lives were born here, but not many survived. Children are a great weapon for concubines who are being favored or falling out of favor, and Pan Yuanrou is also in need of a child to fight for more favors for her, but Concubine An, who is in death row, has no chance. She will eventually die in that dirty prison as a sinner.

in death row

"This way, please." The jailer respectfully led Mei Qing to the cell where Concubine An was.

After arriving at the cell where Concubine An was, the jailer wisely left, leaving behind Mei Qing and Concubine An.

"Mei Qing, hmph, you did that thing, right?" Concubine An looked at Mei Qing outside the door with resentment, she looked like she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"Aren't you stupid? It's true that I posted the poisonous powder, but you are not innocent. It is only a matter of time before you are found out. I just help you solve it sooner." Mei Qing played with her hands leisurely. Beads in the middle, turning a blind eye to An Fei's terrifying eyes.

"You bitch, ah!" Mei Qing violently threw An Fei on the cell door, her hands crazily grabbed Mei Qing, but she couldn't hurt Mei Qing with all her strength, she was desperate again. Grief and indignation, my whole life will be spent in this prison, all because of Mei Qing, if not for him, I might still be able to sit safely in the garden and enjoy the flowers now.

"Heh, this is also your own fault. If you want to avoid being harmed by others, you must restrain yourself first, otherwise you will suffer retribution sooner or later... My retribution will come, but you will not have the chance to see it." Mei Qing left after leaving these words. His sins have already been planted, and he will taste his evil fruits, but that is also something after he goes back, and he will succeed.

"Ah! Mei Qing, you will die badly, I curse you, I curse you! Your Majesty, my concubine is innocent, Your Majesty!" Concubine An's spirit was already on the verge of collapse, and she never believed that her actions were sinful , the guilt is that Mei Qing is just a scapegoat.

After leaving the death cell, Mei Qing was very silent. Looking at the different sky, he felt that his feeling of home was getting colder and colder. Going home seemed to have become his obsession. In fact, he didn't have to do it at all. You can choose a world to live your ordinary life.

"Thirteen, will I suffer retribution?"

"Hey, according to the reincarnation of cause and effect, yes." Everyone has his own life, and it is inevitable to pay the price for killing lives, and they can't change anything.

"...Really? Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes." Mei Qing twitched the corner of her mouth, smiled, even if she had to pay a price, he still wanted to go on, just for an answer in his heart.

Concubine An died. On the second day after Mei Qing left the death row, her body was discovered by the jailer. The cause of death was suicide by biting her tongue. Her death was silent and did not bring much impact. Even remembering her There are very few people, the palace is a place to kill people, countless people die here silently, after death they can only turn into a pile of bones, there is not even a place for burial, this is why grace is so important in the palace , everyone tends to be attached to it, and does not hesitate to exhaust all scheming.

Concubine An's death is the happiest thing for Pan Yuanrou. Although Concubine An's status is not as good as that of Pan Yuanrou, she is too arrogant, so she offended her many times. Now that Concubine An is dead, Pan Yuanrou is naturally very happy. Few concubines can go against her.

"There are hundreds of women in this harem, and the only way to gain a firm foothold is to have children."

"Your Majesty, isn't it easy to want a child? Let's let the emperor come here." The one who proposed the idea was Pan Yuanrou's new maid Cui'er. She is a little clever and also has ideas, so she was chosen by Pan Yuanrou.

"But the emperor doesn't come here at all, so what can I do?" Pan Yuanrou was very anxious. The number of times the emperor came to her was very few, and the last time was last year. If she suddenly said that she was pregnant, she would definitely It would be suspicious, and too stupid.

"Your Majesty, there is a way that you can try, although it's a bit disgraceful." Cui'er rolled her eyes and thought of an idea that she thought was very good.

"Oh? Say."

Hearing Tweety'er's words in her ear, Pan Yuanrou raised her brows with joy. Although this method was not very clever, it was still useful. As long as the emperor came, she would have her own way.

And Pan Yuanrou's little trick was naturally noticed by Long Hui, so he wanted to see what she wanted to do?

Long Hui had a deep understanding of Pan Yuanrou's ambitions. From the first time she entered the palace, Long Hui could see that Pan Yuanrou was calm and dignified on the surface, but in fact she had too many things buried in her heart. Jealousy that she didn't know was the reason for Pan Yuanrou's change.

"Your Majesty, everything has been finished." A man dressed as a blacksmith said to Long Hui.

"Well, very good, let's go and receive the reward." Long Hui said softly, stroking the formed iron chain in his hand.

For some reason, in recent days, Pan Ran has always felt a little tired, as if she had lost strength, but the imperial doctor said that it was just physical weakness. Go out and move around less.

"Concubine Rou." Jinxiu lowered her head and did not look at the eldest lady.

"Well, is little brother there?" Pan Yuanrou didn't care what a servant girl thought, she was only thinking about whether her plan would be successful.

"The young master is playing chess with the second young master in the inner room."

"Xiang Hua is here too? Got it, go report it." Pan Yuanrou worried about whether the plan would be changed because of Pan Xianghua's arrival, so she walked in after thinking about it.

"Second brother is here too? It's been a long time." Pan Yuanrou walked in happily. The joy on Pan Ran's face faded a lot after her arrival, but Pan Xianghua still stood up and saluted. Pan Yuanrou's feigned joy was completely shattered.

"The minister joins the Concubine Rou."

"Second brother, what's the matter with you, elder sister is very sad because of such birthright." Pan Yuanrou also saw that although Pan Xianghua didn't agree with her, he was her family anyway, and Pan Yuanrou also hoped that he would come to the palace to visit. But the current situation made her feel a little chilled.

"Could it be that the older sister entered the palace and became a concubine, and the younger brother doesn't recognize the older sister?" She said with some discomfort, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Pan Yuanrou's sad appearance made Pan Xianghua a little unbearable. After all, there was no need for a family to have a rift because of a past event. Pan Xianghua still couldn't bear to treat his sister like this.

After coming and going, the atmosphere among the three gradually improved, but Pan Ran still looked uneasy, not only because of his guard against Pan Yuanrou and heartache, but also because of his own problems, his illness seemed to have worsened.

"Little brother, what's wrong? His face is so ugly." Pan Xianghua on the side asked worriedly. He had noticed that something was wrong with Pan Ran's face early in the morning, but now it seemed that it was really serious.

"Yes, little brother, did you invite the imperial physician to come and see? Doesn't the emperor come to care about it?" Pan Yuanrou was also very surprised by Pan Ran's expression, she was happy to see it but also asked symbolically.

"It's okay. The imperial doctor came to see and said nothing happened. The emperor also sent a lot of things, and he often came to visit, but he always didn't get better, and his appetite was not as good as before." Pan Ran smiled reassuringly, and he In fact, it was just a little weak, and I didn't feel too uncomfortable, just a little dizzy.
