The Legend of Zhen Huan: An Lingrong

Jian Qiu stretched out his hand to pick up the silver makeup box on the ground, a mocking and disdainful smile flashed across his face, the smile flashed by even Ling Ling couldn't see it clearly.

The little maid fell to her knees on the ground with a puff, her face was full of panic, she trembled and dared not move.

Jian Qiu sent the things in her hands to the Queen, and the Queen opened the box, scraped off a little powder with her fingernails and smelled it, her complexion instantly turned pale and colorless, "Where did you get this thing from? "

The body of the little palace maid trembled even more, almost trembling violently, "Slaves, servants, servants don't know!"

"Say! Where did this thing come from?" The queen's tone became extremely severe in an instant, and she slapped the table hard.

The queen mother lowered her eyebrows and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, ignoring the farce. Ling Rong looked at the extremely poor girl with complete indifference in her eyes.

"My lord, the reason why you are lying here is because someone framed you. Concubine Zhao, what kind of enmity do you have with my lord, that you want to kill my lord so painfully!" Fucha nobleman Furong, the big palace maid who was waiting by her side, looked at Concubine Zhao viciously, knelt on the ground and tightly grasped Concubine Zhao's skirt, crying.

Ling Rong looked down at the woman kneeling at his feet, her expression didn't change at all, she just frowned, as if listening to a big lie, but Furong saw a faint disregard in her puzzled eyes, this person She didn't pay attention to her at all, her eyes seemed to be looking at an ant.

"If you haven't helped her up yet, I will naturally review the grievances your master suffered!" There was a trace of pity on the queen's face, and at the end she glanced at Concubine Zhao indifferently, as if everything was over. In her insight, and she has already determined that she must be the murderer.

"Hurry up, the empress will be the master of your family! No matter who it is, the empress will not let him go!" Jian Qiu carefully lifted Furong up with a look of reassurance.

Her words were very heart-rending, exactly the same as what her master said. She was sure that Concubine Zhao was the murderer. Not only did Furong hear her allusion, but even Zhuhan, who had been standing behind Concubine Zhao and suppressed her anger, also Hearing this, she clenched her hands, trying hard to hold back her anger, and now she finally realized that today's flower viewing feast was just a grand feast for her little master.

"Concubine Zhao, what do you have to say?" The queen said with a serious face, Ling Rong looked up and stared at her eyes, and suddenly showed a mocking smile, "Hongmen Banquet!"

"What are you talking about?" A look of panic flashed across the Queen's face, but she quickly covered it up, "Concubine Zhao, have you been frightened into talking nonsense?"

Ling Rong raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "People who talk nonsense are not concubines, but slaves kneeling on the ground, and..." She didn't finish her sentence, but the look in her eyes She had already said what she wanted.

Mei Zhuang looked at the back in front of her in disbelief. She couldn't believe that such a sentence was actually spoken by the taciturn Ling Rong in the past. Didn't she know that everyone in the palace now regarded her as a thorn in their side?

Such an arrogant sentence will not only fail to save herself, but may even drag her into a predicament. It is impossible for her not to know, but why is she so reckless at this time? The emperor is not in the palace now. Once the queen mother does not believe her words , that can only bring disaster.

"Concubine Zhao, do you know that I am a queen, do you still see me as a queen in your eyes?" The queen was already furious, but the flickering in her eyes made Concubine Zhao, who had been watching her all the time, see a trace.

Seeing that the queen was already angry, Mei Zhuang had no time to think about it, so he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said earnestly, "Empress, Concubine Zhao just made a mistake in her words for a while, and didn't mean to offend you!  … ..”

Mei Zhuang wanted to say something, but Concubine Zhao interrupted her, she knelt down on the ground, the sound of knocking on the ground was very heavy, but she didn't show any expression of pain, "Queen Mother, my concubine please You uphold justice for me!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone was looking at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother slowly raised her head and looked at her deeply. Her eyes were firm and did not flicker at all. The Queen Mother knew that what she asked for was not what she wanted. It's as simple as that, what she's asking for is justice without involving her personal interests.

The Empress Dowager glanced at the anxious Empress next to her, and the beads in her hands were spinning quickly, before she said after a long time, "Do whatever you want! The Ai family will uphold justice for you!"

She could see the disbelief in the queen's eyes, but she had to do this. There are too many royal descendants who died in these years. If there is no handwriting of the queen, she would not believe it.

"Emperor's mother..." The queen stared at the queen mother with a look of disbelief.

"Thank you Queen Mother!" Ling Rong finally showed a gentle smile on her face. She respectfully gave the Queen Mother a big gift, stood up with Lin Xi's support, turned around and looked at the little maid who was kneeling on the ground, "Who gave it to you?"

The little maid trembled, trying to shrink herself tightly, her voice was thin and thin, "Servant, servant..."

"Say it! I want to know!" Ling Rong looked at it with a hint of coercion, and said in a bad tone.

"Your Majesty, it's you...you ordered it!" The little maid suddenly stopped trembling and said in a broken jar. After hearing this answer, Ling Rong suddenly smiled.

"I ordered it, then when did I order it, were there other people around at that time, and what reward did I give you?" Her tone was aggressive, without the gentleness of the past, only sharp.

The little maid's tone suddenly became smoother, "Your Majesty ordered it. A few days before the flower viewing banquet, you let the servants take advantage of the opportunity on that day to do it. No one was present at that time, and you picked the flowers from the head. Give me a hosta."

"Is anyone not there?" "Yes!"

"Where is the jade hairpin I took off?" Ling Rong asked softly, pointing at her bun, but the little maid couldn't answer, so she could only look up and point to a place, "There!"

Ling Rong reached out and took off the hairpin on his head and said, "Did you see this hairpin that day?" The little maid was a little taken aback by her question, she couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she said casually, "No!"

Hearing this answer, Ling Rong didn't give any response, and glanced at the queen lightly, it was this glance that made the queen feel uneasy, she said anxiously, "Concubine Zhao, what exactly do you want to ask? Does the question have anything to do with this?"

"The concubine is just curious, why did the concubine entrust this small box of spices to a third-class court lady, who has never met me before, so why should I trust her?" Ling Ling She said with a slight smile on her face, as if she was watching a farce.

"Didn't she say she met you? Why are you saying that you have never seen her?" Seeing her being so arrogant, Concubine Qi felt a little uneasy. She couldn't let Concubine Zhao turn over. trifle.

"Concubine Qi is right, I have never met her before, and nothing she said is true!" Ling Rong clapped his hands and smiled lightly. The queen looked at Concubine Zhao's confident eyes, and she knew the plan this time It was too hasty, but she never expected that the seemingly weak Concubine Zhao could find a way out under her calculations.

She sighed, then remained silent and did not speak again.

"What are you talking about? Do you still want to tell lies in front of the Queen and the Queen Mother?" Concubine Qi said sternly, Concubine Zhao's eyes frightened her, the woman in front of her seemed to have seen everything very clearly.

"Xingui, you see me every day, have you ever seen me wearing other jade hairpins?" "Never!"

Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief when she asked Mrs. Xingui. She knew that if she was not [-]% sure, Concubine Zhao would not ask such a question. Although Mei Zhuang looked at the witty mausoleum in front of him, he still couldn't believe it, but The boulder weighing on my heart was also much lighter.

"Lin Xi told Concubine Qi, did I ever let you leave me for half a foot?" "Never!"

"So what? One of them is your close friend, and the other is your servant who is serving you. It is inevitable that they will tell lies because they are partial to you!" Concubine Qi was already panicked and could only refute with all her strength.

"Since Concubine Qi doesn't believe me, she should trust Imperial Physician Zhang! He has served the emperor for so many years, it is impossible for him to tell lies!" Ling Rong said with a slight smile, pointing at Imperial Physician Zhang.

"Physician Zhang, please tell Concubine Qi, what is the reason for Mrs. Fucha's miscarriage? And what is the effect of the medicine added in this box of incense powder?"

"Back to Concubine Qi, nobleman Fucha fell down, was frightened and became pregnant, so he had a miscarriage!" He paused, and said, "And the musk in this fragrance powder is very strong, As long as pregnant women apply this substance on the face for more than an hour, it will make the fetus unstable, and in severe cases, miscarriage!"

"Have you ever used this scent on the nobleman of Fucha?" "Never!"

"The concubine dared to ask the concubine Qi, why didn't the concubine give this thing to her to replace it, why did she give it to a third-class sprinkler maid? With her status, she may not even be a step closer to the nobleman of Fucha, It has already been stopped! And the musk smell in this thing is very strong, as long as you have a little understanding of medicine, you can smell it, and the concubine asked the maid in his palace to replace it, wouldn't it be deceitful?"

Now Concubine Zhao's indifference has become the last straw that overwhelms Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi squirmed her lips slightly, but couldn't say a word.

"Queen Dowager, the concubines have finished asking questions, please make a decision!" Ling Rong turned around and respectfully blessed the Queen Mother.

The queen mother lowered her eyes, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were fiddled with quickly. She sighed and said, "What does the queen think should be?"

Seeing that the general situation was over, the queen didn't dare to say anything more, lest she would attract suspicion. After thinking for a while, she said, "The concubine is stupid, but the emperor's mother is the master!"

"Zhuxi, take her down and take good care of her until the emperor comes back!" The queen mother gave the queen a cold look and said, "It's a troubled time now, so please be quiet!" After speaking, she got up and left.

The queen lowered her eyebrows in response, and everyone in the hall also responded in unison.

Concubine Hua and the empress said some words of apology, and followed the empress dowager out the door. When she walked to Lingrong, she lowered her voice and said, "As expected of Concubine Zhao, I have underestimated you!" Her tone was faint Without any emotion, it seemed that she was really admiring her performance today, but Ling Rong couldn't see through this person, nor could she guess her real intentions, so she kept silent.

Zhen Huan also walked out of the hall slowly holding Jinxi's hand. Before leaving the door, she turned her head and glanced at Ling Rong, and left without saying a word. I left sadly.

After everyone left, Xin Gui and Mei Zhuang walked up to accompany Ling Rong to leave.

The author has something to say: Ling Rong did the right thing this time with his dangerous move

This is the first time I write a conspiracy, and the writing is not very thorough, please bear with me, and be merciful.

Finally, the issue of the flower viewing banquet was resolved, and the emperor could be called back.
