My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

"The maidservant just came to Ningshou Palace on business, and happened to meet Miss Shuangshu when she was going out. We talked for a while before we parted. Then Miss Shuangshu went into Ningshou Palace, but the maidservant was caught by a familiar friend. The servant chatted with that friend for about a quarter of an hour before leaving, and during this period, the servant did not hear any sound."

Tan Su stared closely at Sui'er, who was kneeling on the ground with flustered eyes and extremely pale face. The corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she sneered, and said, "But Miss Sui'er said, she saw Miss Shuangshu enter Ningshou Palace with her own eyes, and then Soon after less than a cup of tea, I heard a crisp sound of 'bang'. May I ask, the servant girl was at the entrance of the side hall of Ningshou Palace at that time. If there was a noise in the room, the servant girl could definitely hear it, but why did the servant girl hear it? But it is not consistent with what Miss Sui Er said."

"This, this..." Sui'er's eyes were loose, her expression panicked, and she seemed to be on the verge of being driven crazy, "I, I..."

Suddenly, when she thought of something, her eyes lit up instantly, "Maybe, maybe I misremembered, it wasn't a cup of tea, it might be after a quarter of an hour."

Tan Su withdrew his gaze lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Miss Sui'er has a really long memory, so if I said that I left after half an hour, would you change your story and say it was half an hour later?"

"I..." Sui'er looked at Xia Conglin in panic and despair.

Xia Conglin pursed her lips, and just about to stand up and say a few words, she saw Shuang Shu, who had been listening quietly since Tan Su appeared, suddenly raised her head and said, "That's not the case, this servant clearly remembers that when I entered, I found the birthday gift Broken was taken aback and then wanted to call someone in to ask about the situation. The whole delay was less than a cup of tea. Afterwards, Sui'er broke in and screamed when she saw Broken's birthday gift. He insisted that the slaves are the chief culprits."

The Empress Dowager finally slowly turned her gaze to Sui Er, who was kneeling on the ground in the center, her eyes sank, and she said in a concentrated voice: "Sui Er, what else do you want to say?"

Sui'er limply collapsed to the ground, her complexion had already lost color, and her whole body trembled like a sieve.

So far, the play has finally come to an end.

The empress dowager's complexion changed again and again, and she couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward, slapped her hard, and gritted her teeth, "Bitch, tell me, why did you destroy the birthday gift that the Ai family gave to the ancestors?" ?”

Sui'er was suddenly thrown aside, a bright red five-palm print was printed on one side of her face, the corner of her mouth was swollen immediately, and with a "poof", a mouthful of blood-stained teeth protruded.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "In my opinion, there must be someone behind her."

Xia Conglin couldn't control the panic in her eyes. Noticing the emperor's gaze, she forced her head down calmly, clutching the handkerchief tightly with one hand, her nails about to break.

The empress dowager stared at her with dull eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Say, who is the person behind you?"

Sui'er's lips were pale, trembling slightly, "Servant..."

"Say!" The Empress Dowager asked sharply, her voice suddenly raised.

Sui'er trembled with fright, and couldn't help but look towards the corner. However, she didn't know what she saw, she hurriedly looked away in panic, her face became more gray and desperate, she closed her eyes, and tears rolled down for a long time , finally, bit his lip and said, "Slave, it was smashed by the slave."

"What?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, straightened up, and looked at her with an unpredictable expression.

Sui'er kowtowed her head, and her voice echoed in the hall, "The empress dowager knew clearly that she was a servant girl, and the servant girl accidentally broke the birthday gift, lest she would blame her, and just happened to see Miss Shuangshu coming, so she thought of it on a whim. With this method, no one will instigate behind the servants' backs."

There was silence in the hall for a long time, the Empress Dowager said calmly, "So, this is just a coincidence."

"Back to the ancestors, the servants dare not lie any more."

Her mournful voice did not hide her grief, and the fragmentary whimpers seemed to be scattered by the cold wind. She lingered and hesitated in the empty hall for a long time. Chen Yizhen sighed secretly, looked up at the emperor and empress dowager, but Seeing the former's eyelids drooping slightly, his expression was calm, making people unable to see his inner thoughts, while the latter struggled and hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say when he wanted to say something.

After a long while, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, stepped forward, and reported to the Empress Dowager, "Queen Mother, look, since this girl has confessed, shouldn't she be dealt with according to palace rules?"

The Empress Dowager didn't say a word for a while, instead she glanced at Xia Conglin who was in the corner with her head down and her palm tightly clenched, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Since your birthday gift was broken, you are the one to decide. "

The empress dowager let out a long breath, and couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, empress."

From the corner of Chen Yizhen's eyes, Xia Conglin's tense shoulders in the corner also unknowingly relaxed.

She withdrew her gaze, remained silent for a while, and said to Shuangshu who was still kneeling: "Thank you, ancestor and emperor, if it weren't for them, how could you stand here completely and innocently."

Shuangshu's natural bosom friend bowed his head and kowtowed, "Thank you ancestor, thank you empress dowager, thank you emperor, and thank you Miss Tan Su."

In this way, everyone knows that the matter of Ningshou Palace is temporarily over.

Only Sui'er lay limp on the ground, her eyes were loose, and her face had long since lost the breath of life.

Late autumn is vast and endless, the cool breath passes through the chest from far to near, and walking staggeringly on the way back to Yongchang Palace, Xia Conglin suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, for a long time, she clenched her teeth tightly , the eye sockets are red, and the tears in the corners of the eyes will not fall.

Zhu'er next to her was also dazed and absent-minded, swaying and following her like a wandering ghost, seeing her stop, she had to stop silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Conglin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, glanced at the silent Zhu'er beside her, "Are you blaming me in your heart?"

Zhu'er lowered her face, her lips/petals trembled slightly, and said softly: "Girl, slaves don't dare."

Xia Conglin smiled sarcastically, "Don't dare? That's a flattering way to say it."

"However," her expression turned sharp suddenly, "the future will be long, don't worry, I will definitely avenge Sui Er."

However, at this time, Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager did not leave, and sat restlessly at the head of the Empress Dowager.

Leaning on the soft bed, after a long silence, the empress dowager said lightly, "The empress is benevolent, the emperor is pure and filial, this bad guy has to be Aijia."

The empress dowager smiled uneasily, twisted her handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Why don't the concubines understand what the empress mother is talking about."

The Empress Dowager let out a "heh", "You don't understand? Your head is contracted by paste, so you naturally don't understand."

The Empress Dowager suddenly changed color, stood up, and panicked, "Mother Empress..."

The Empress Dowager glanced over and said sternly, "You want to bring good luck to your mother's family. It's human nature. Ai's family can't obstruct you. But since the matter has reached Ai's family, Ai's family can't just sit idly by. It's up to you to deceive the upper and lower, to act recklessly. The Ai family has controlled the harem for more than ten years. I have never seen such a big storm, but now it is being used by the younger generation, pushing the nose on the face, and stepping on the face of the royal family. Seriously, Xia Shi How courageous!"

The empress dowager swayed, her face turned pale, she knelt down with a "plop", and she was about to cry, "The empress..."

"If you really want the Xia family to keep their face and honor, then you know the truth of letting go."

The empress dowager pursed her lips, and after a long time, said in deep pain, "The concubine knows."

She stood up and staggered out.

Behind her, the voice of the Empress Dowager came again, "Even if you don't care about the queen, you should still take good care of your own son."
