When she shouted, everyone felt something was wrong and hurriedly quickened their pace. In a blink of an eye, everyone crowded to the door of Lanxiangju and looked inside.

I saw Liu Ningyan standing by the table, holding the lid of the incense burner in one hand and looking in. When she heard the footsteps, she immediately raised her head, only to see so many people suddenly appearing at the door. She was also

I was frightened, my face suddenly turned pale, and the lid of the incense burner in my hand fell to the ground with a clang, making a harsh sound.

As soon as Chang Qing saw her, she immediately frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Liu Ningyan's legs softened and she knelt down with a plop: "The Emperor...the Queen..."

"What are you doing here?"

She turned pale with fright and could not say anything. Seeing this, Yuwen next to her took a step forward and said, "I just saw Miss Liu putting something into Cai Ren's incense burner. I didn't know for a moment, so

Called out."

"Put something? What did you put there?"

Chang Qing frowned slightly and was about to walk over when the palace maid next to her sniffed the air and suddenly said: "My Lady, this - it seems to smell like musk."

"Musk?"

"That - that will cause pregnant women to miscarry!"

When Chang Qing heard this, a look of anger suddenly appeared on her face. She looked down at the trembling Liu Ningyan and said, "You dare to put musk into Xu Cairen's incense burner. What crime do you deserve!"

"No, Queen, I don't have this slave." Liu Ningyan's face turned pale with anxiety, and she hurriedly walked over on her knees, kowtowing repeatedly: "This slave is not here to harm Xu Cairen, this slave—"

Before she finished her words, Yuwen suddenly said loudly: "Oh, Talent, I remembered, haven't you been saying that your stomach is uncomfortable and cramping these days? Is it because of the smell of musk?

”

"What?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately remembered what Xu Cairen looked uncomfortable and what I said just now by the lake. They all understood what was going on. Looking at Liu Ningyan who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, Chang Qing's face darkened and she said first:

"There is musk in the house. Let's go out first. Xu Cairen can't smell this stuff anymore."

When she said this, everyone left the room. Xu Cairen looked at Liu Ningyan walking out tremblingly, pointed at her angrily and said: "Ms. Liu, have I ever offended you? Why do you want to harm me like this?"

The child in my belly?!"

When Liu Ningyan heard this, she hurriedly knelt down again: "I don't, talented person. I don't want to harm your child!"

"How dare you deny it? Yuwen just saw you putting something in the incense burner. When the emperor comes these days, he always asks you to deliver the message. If it weren't for you, who else could enter my house and do such an evil thing!"

Xu Cai's lips trembled in anger, he turned around and knelt down towards the queen and said: "Queen, you have to make the decision for me!"

Chang Qing's beautiful face suddenly became frosty, and she looked at Liu Ningyan coldly.

Liu Ningyan was so frightened that she shouted: "I didn't, I didn't!"

Perhaps because she was too scared, her voice changed its tone and sounded a little hoarse. Chang Qing frowned and said nothing. She first raised her hand towards Xu Cairen. As soon as I saw this scene, I immediately took a step forward.

He helped Xu Cairen up and said softly: "Cairen, please don't hurt the fetus. If someone dares to harm you like this, the Queen will definitely make the decision for you."

As soon as Liu Ningyan saw me, her eyes turned red. She knelt and took two steps forward, grabbed the corner of the queen's clothes, and hissed: "Queen, this slave has been wrongly accused. This slave has been -

Being -"

Her voice suddenly became hoarse and she couldn't say anything.

Liu Ningyan was taken aback. She coughed twice and wanted to say something, but her voice became hoarse. She opened her eyes wide and suddenly understood something. She looked up and saw me holding Xu Cairen standing aside. She immediately looked at her like crazy.

I rushed over.

"Be careful, she's going to hurt Talent!"

I shouted and immediately spread my arms. Xu Cairen was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind me. Liu Ningyan grabbed me like a crazy lion and beat me hard. I gritted my teeth and endured it, saying loudly:

"Get out of the way, I don't want to hurt you!"

Everyone suddenly panicked, some avoided it, and some pulled Xu Cairen to protect her. Chang Qing stood there without moving and said angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and pull her away!"

"Yes!"

Kuan'er and several other palace maids rushed forward, grabbed Liu Ningyan and pushed her to the ground. She struggled and fluttered desperately, letting out a hoarse roar. Yuwen took the opportunity to step forward and use a broken piece of

The cloth blocked her mouth.

Just like that, Liu Ningyan was pinned to the ground in a state of embarrassment, breathing heavily and staring at us.

Just when everyone was in panic, Shen Rou's voice came from behind: "What happened?"

Turning around, he saw that she was slowly walking over. When she saw Chang Qing, she immediately knelt down and saluted. The palace maid on the side told her that Lady Liu had planned to poison the fetus in Xu Cairen's belly, and everyone got the spoils.

When Shen Rou heard this, she glanced at me and Xu Cairen with her autumn-like eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she slowly walked up to Liu Ningyan, pointed at her and said: "

I have long watched her seduce the emperor with her charming face, but I didn’t expect that she would come up with the idea here. I am still in the Chonghua Palace, how can I allow you to do such evil?"

After saying that, she turned to the queen and said: "Queen, this matter happened in Chonghua Palace. Please ask me to investigate this matter thoroughly. I must give Xu Cairen justice!"

As soon as I heard that she was going to investigate this matter, I felt uneasy.

The Queen has always been on good terms with her, but I am afraid that she will really have to hand over this case to her for investigation.

Unexpectedly, Chang Qing glanced at her coldly and said, "Leave it to you to investigate? The emperor asked Xu Cairen to move to Chonghua Hall for you to take care of him. Someone used a poisonous trick to harm Xu Cairen, and you are just now

You know, how can I trust you again if you are so careless!"

Chang Qing had always been gentle and kind, but suddenly she had an attack. Shen Rou couldn't react for a moment and looked at her with wide eyes. The concubines around her had already turned pale with fear and immediately knelt on the ground: "Queen, please calm down.

Shen Rou also slowly knelt down and said: "I know I was wrong, I am my concubine."

"Huh, you know your mistake? Then you can stay in Chonghua Hall with me and think about your mistakes!" Chang Qing finished her hair, then turned to look at Liu Ningyan who was pressed to the ground with her hair disheveled and tears streaming down her face, and said: "

Take me under custody and seal up everything she has touched in Lan Xiangju. I will personally investigate this matter!"

"Yes!"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, Chang Qing turned around and walked out. The remaining two strong nuns grabbed Ningyan and walked out. Her hands were clasped behind her back and she was escorted out, but she kept looking back.

The red eyes looked at me through the messy hair, and the hatred bursting out of them seemed to tear me into pieces.

I stood there in silence, my whole body trembling, as if my soul was trembling.

When I met her eyes, I silently mouthed something to her——

"We are settled."

I regard you as a good sister and give you advice. Even if you are in the cold palace and unable to stand up, I have never abandoned you. And you, actually betrayed me, hurt me, and plotted against me. I, Yue Qingying, have no harmful intentions, but I also

The grudges are clear.

Now, we are clear!

The female attendant was imprisoned, Lanxiangju was sealed, and the imperial concubine closed her door to reflect on her past. These three incidents caused an uproar in the harem. Especially when the queen was furious for the first time, everyone was in danger, and the atmosphere in the harem suddenly became tense.

It seemed that he had also sensed this atmosphere. Several autumn rains came down one after another, and the autumn rain and coolness made the palace fall into a state of desolation.

In the eyes of everyone, the only ones who are relaxed are probably Xu Cairen and me beside her.

After this incident, the queen asked Xu Cairen to move out of Chonghua Hall and return to Fangcaotang, where she lived before. Although it was a little more deserted than Chonghua Hall, it was convenient for raising a baby. Xu Cairen also gave advice to the queen.

, saying that it was rare for me to loyally protect the Lord and fall in love with me, so he asked the queen for me.

Compared to the unpredictable Shen Rou, I was really relieved to be with Xu Cairen.

As soon as I entered Fangcaotang, I knelt down and thanked her: "Thank you so much for promoting such talented people."

"You talk about promotion." Xu Cairen hurriedly helped me up and said, "If you hadn't stopped in front of me that day, I would have been killed by that bitch."

I smiled lightly and said nothing.

Yuwen on the side came over and said: "That woman is really vicious. I heard that before the emperor ascended the throne, he used to be the wife of Shangyang Palace, and was later relegated to the cold palace. It seems that she has always held a grudge, so she treated the empress.

Drugging."

Xu Cairen nodded, held my hand again, and said: "Fortunately, you set up this plan and caught her, otherwise the child in my belly would not be safe."

"Cai Ren, don't say that." I helped her sit down on the couch and said softly: "Cai Ren said that if you save the child, you will save the talent. You should do your best."

Xu Cairen smiled, then suddenly thought of something, and said: "The Queen personally investigated this matter, and I don't know how the investigation went."

"..."

She thought for a while and said to me: "Qingying, go to Jingren Palace to help me say hello to the empress. If you can find out, please ask me by the way. I want to know what happened to that vicious woman."

This is also what I care about.

In the past two days, I have not been as calm and content as I seemed on the surface. Although Liu Ningyan has become mute and cannot write, I will not be able to rest assured until the matter is resolved.

So, I nodded in agreement, turned around and left Fangcaotang, and walked towards Jingren Palace.

When we arrived at Jingren Palace, we saw Kuo'er and the others coming out. They knew me because of Xu Cairen's affairs, so they smiled from afar and said, "Are you here to pay my respects? The emperor is also here, please wait for a while.

Come in. Let’s prepare tea for the emperor.”

Is Pei Yuanhao there?

My heart suddenly sank, but I still said with a smile on my face: "Thank you for your hard work, sisters."

I was a little hesitant to avoid it first. At this moment, I heard Pei Yuanhao's deep voice coming from the window: "Then how did she suddenly become mute?"

I immediately held my breath and listened carefully.

Chang Qing's gentle voice said: "Because there are other spices in the incense burner, I asked the imperial doctor to check it out. The spices were added with scopolamine, belladonna, and other medicinal materials, and after being smoked with musk, she

I just lost my voice."
