On the second day, although I was reading in the Bibo Pavilion of Chenghui Palace as usual, my heart was still restless.

I raised my eyes and saw an uninvited guest, I calmly closed the book, stood up and saluted him, "Fan Gui, don't come here without any harm."

That's right, it was Fan Jianbin who I happened to run into doing messy things that night.

The other man's voice was too soft to hear clearly, and he couldn't be sure.

Fan Jianbin is the son of General Fan of the current dynasty, his father is highly regarded in the court, and he is also favored by the emperor in the harem, I absolutely cannot afford to take the blame.

He stood still, raised his eyes to look at me, and said slowly, "If I guess correctly, it was you that night."

The one who should have come is still here. It is really helpless to find out that it is me so quickly.

If it wasn't for that palace card, even if Fan Jianbin searched through the harem, he wouldn't be able to find me.

I nodded calmly and said, "So, how does Fan Guijun plan to deal with Ling Xi?"

There was a hint of surprise in your eyes, "Your composure is beyond my expectation."

I smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is absurd."

Fan Jianbin sighed, "I can only blame you for your bad luck. I would never allow someone who knows about this kind of thing to live in this palace."

"Although you and I have no enmity, but for the sake of entering the palace together, if you have a last wish, I can consider helping you realize it."

I laughed back, "Your Majesty's words are too arrogant, and you, Fan Jianbin, are not the only ones who have the final say in this harem."

He darkened his face slightly, and said unhappily, "Given the disparity in our status today, it is not difficult to take your life."

I smiled lightly and said, "Although Xie's family is far behind Fan's family, they still have a certain status in the court. Xie Lingxi died in the palace for no reason, my father will never let it go."

"Ha, do you think I don't know your status in Xie's family?" Fan Jianbin smiled recklessly, "I have already checked your details, believe me, even if you die now, no one in Xie's family will care. Except for your dying mother."

My right hand was tightly clenched into a fist in my sleeve, and I breathed out a turbid breath, "I, Xie Lingxi, act openly and aboveboard. I have been cautious in the palace for three years and have never neglected. Even if Fan Guijun wants my life, he must be famous Otherwise, Cui Guijun will definitely seek justice for me."

"That way, you don't have to worry about it." Fan Jianbin clapped his hands, and two familiar figures quickly walked out from behind him. They were Zheng Xuanshi and Zhao Xuanshi who entered the palace in the same session as me.

When the two of them saw me, they pointed at me and said, "Mr. Fan Gui, this is the man. We saw him having a private meeting with a man in the Imperial Garden day and night before the University."

The other took out a palace card from his pocket and said, "This is the palace card that they left behind when they did dirty things, please take a look, Mr. Fan Gui."

I was so angry that it was the villain who filed the complaint first, and there were "personal evidence" and "physical evidence".

The filthy palace should be punished with capital punishment, this is to put me to death!

But the more I have to calm down at this time, I forced myself to suppress the anger surging in my heart, and said calmly, "It's good that there are personal evidence and physical evidence, I don't know how much benefits Zheng Xuanshi and Zhao Xuanshi have received from you, Fan Guijun. Helping you wantonly slander? Or is it that Zheng and Zhao are not innocent at all, so how about letting the other servants of Chenghui Hall prove it together?"

"You..." Zheng and Zhao looked at each other guiltily, their faces turning red and white.

Although I am withdrawn, I am not ignorant of worldly affairs. I understand every word and deed of this person in the palace, but I just don't want to pay attention to it on weekdays.

Zheng and Zhao knew each other long before they entered the palace, and it was already a tacit agreement among the people to pass the song secretly in the harem, but now they come to frame me. Is it true that I am weak and can be deceived so much?

Fan Jianbin took a few steps slowly, turned his head and said, "You don't have to attack them, you can't evade this palace card."

"Weichen lost a palace card, but it was in Cui Guijun's Green Bamboo Pavilion, not the Imperial Garden. If Fan Guijun doesn't believe it, you can ask Cui Guijun."

"Hmph, don't you know your petty actions these days? Let me tell you, Cui Minglang can't cover you, and no one in the harem can cover you."

Fan Jianbin waved his sleeve robe and shouted, "Come here, send servant Xie Xuan to the Disciplinary Department and torture him severely. I believe he will tell the truth."

"Fan Jianbin." I stopped him, "My father is a member of Dangchaozhongshushe, my elder brother is an editor of the Imperial Academy, and I am a seventh-rank male concubine. If you want to kill me in the punishment department, I will Let your Fan family army be impeached in the court, and at the same time let you walk on thin ice in this harem, full of loopholes, and finally reap the consequences."

"I thank Lingxi's life, it's not something you can have if you want it."

Fan Jianbin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a side of me, who is usually docile, but soon he regained his momentum.

"Xie Lingxi, I didn't expect you to be so self-righteous when you are about to die. What about the mere fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren and the seventh-rank Imperial Academy editor Nengnai and our Fan family? Besides, even if they complain about you, you are dead, no Any evidence, who would doubt me?"

He glanced at Zheng and Zhao, who were kneeling on the side, and said with a deep smile, "This noble lord is just a male concubine who was identified by Zheng Xuanshi and Zhao Xuanshi to punish unruly concubines. will blame."

I raised my eyes and looked at him calmly, "So you think I was really just playing piano and chess at Cui Guijun's place yesterday?"

"What? What did you do?" Fan Jianbin's expression changed, and he stepped forward and asked.

Seeing his reaction, I breathed a sigh of relief, but still said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that Cui Guijun takes great care of me and invites me to chat with him every day. Today's time is up, and he must be waiting for me." .”

With fire in his eyes, Fan Jianbin looked at me angrily, "Do you really think I'm afraid of Cui Minglang? It's just to show Mrs. Cui a little face."

Seeing that his tone was slightly loose, I smiled lightly and said, "Fan Guijun knows the general situation, Ling Xi has just offended you in a hurry, and I hope you will forgive me. But in the current situation, I don't know if Lingxi should go to the Green Bamboo Pavilion It is still the Department of Punishment, please show me your honor."

Fan Jianbin lowered his face, stared at me for a long time and said, "Xie Lingxi, today is your fate. Watch your mouth from now on, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

Fan Jianbin kicked Zheng and Zhao, who were kneeling beside him, and growled, "Get lost."

The two men trembled in fright, and quickly got up and fled.

He gave me one last warning look and finally left.

I got up calmly, wiped the sweat off my forehead, tidied up my clothes, and then walked towards the Green Bamboo Pavilion calmly.

Fan Jianbin had his own scruples about leaving at this time.

Firstly, his personal evidence was tainted, and secondly, his physical evidence was also flawed.At the same time, he was afraid of Cui Minglang's meddling in sabotage. If he couldn't put me to death, it would make him steal money. In addition, I used the name of father and elder brother, so he had to consider changes in the court.After careful calculation, I know that I can't please at this moment, so I have to find another opportunity in the future.

But I know that Fan Jianbin will never let me go easily. Although I tricked him into leaving today, it will not be easy in the future.

I am very aware of my current situation, just now I was just stern, if he was more determined to kill me, I would not be alive today.

In this West Palace, Monarch Beichen has the highest status, but he hardly cares about world affairs, instead Cui Guijun, Fan Guijun and Fang Guijun stand alone.

Although the three of them have high status, Cui Minglang is less decisive in his actions, and Fang Shengze is not close to me, so there is no one who can completely suppress Fan Jianbin.

And the female concubine can't interfere with the male concubine's affairs, and my father's official rank is really not high... Thinking about it carefully, there is no one in the harem or court who can protect my life.

Except today.

But if I really want to take that step, it is extremely difficult for me.

Because of this step, what I gave up was the freedom I had pursued all my life.

I laughed at myself helplessly, thinking of how calm and calm I was when guiding Su Jinyue back then, but now I am hesitant when it comes to me.

Xie Lingxi, this is the best policy, isn't it?And you have no choice.
