At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside and stopped at the door. I could faintly hear Eunuch Yu approaching and saying something. After a while, Eunuch Yu walked to the door and said softly: "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"We are rushing three hundred miles from Yangzhou. We have arrived at the Imperial Study Room. Please invite the Emperor..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanhao's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly walked outside. The concubines around him all stood up and knelt down, and I turned around and looked at the sachet in his hand. I was about to say something,

But when he walked to the door, he stopped, turned around and looked at me.

Chang Qing walked quickly to his side, saying nothing but waiting for his instructions. Pei Yuanhao pondered for a while and then said: "You all go back first." After saying that, he looked at me again and whispered to Chang Qing.

After saying something, Chang Qing nodded and said, "I understand."

"Yeah."

After he explained everything, he looked at me again and left without looking back.

The door opened and a gust of cold wind came in, making me tremble slightly. After Chang Qing knelt down at his back, she stood up and walked in, saying: "That's all for tonight, everyone should go back first." After that, she turned around again.

After saying a few words to Kuan'er, Kuan'er agreed and ran out.

The surrounding concubines suddenly started talking: "Go back? How can we settle this matter?"

"Seeing as how she can't make any excuses."

"I don't know what happened over there in Yangzhou. Your Majesty has been there for several days..."

I stood silent in the middle of the room. Chang Qing walked up to me again and said, "Yue Cairen, please don't go back to Fangcaotang tonight. I have ordered Rong Jingzhai to be cleaned out. You can stay there first. Your

People will also come to serve you.”

Of course I know what it means to ask me to go to Rongjingzhai instead of returning to Fangcaotang.

"Yes."

I gave her a blessing and turned around to leave. Shuixiu was kneeling aside and although she was frightened, she immediately stood up and helped me. When I was going out, a gust of fragrant wind passed by me. As soon as I raised my eyes,

I saw Shen Rou’s soft eyes.

I thought she was going to say something, but she didn't say anything. She just glanced at me and walked past.

After leaving Jingren Palace, the sedan was still waiting outside. When I sat on it, I felt that my whole body was almost exhausted, and I was covered in cold sweat on my back. The sedan was swaying all the way, and I was a little dizzy. Fortunately,

The road from Jingren Palace to Rongjingzhai is not long, and we will arrive in a short time.

As soon as I got off the sedan, I saw a group of guards standing at the door, saluting me.

When I walked into Rongjingzhai, the place was clean and tidy. As soon as I sat down, Nanny Wu and Xiaoyu rushed over anxiously. As soon as I entered the door, they asked me anxiously: "Cairen, what happened? Why did you let me

Are we here?"

I was very tired, so I waved my hands and didn't want to talk. Shuixiu knelt down in front of me with a plop: "Talent, I know I was wrong."

Grandma Wu felt something was wrong as soon as she heard this and asked: "What on earth did you do?"

While Shuixiu was crying, she told what had just happened. When she mentioned that she was going to let the mice go, Nanny Wu was so angry that she twisted her arm and cursed: "I knew you were going to get into trouble, you little hooves, how could you?"

You don’t do good things!”

Xiaoyu also knelt down and cried for mercy: "Mom, please spare Shuixiu, she just wants to vent her anger on Cai Ren."

Although Aunt Wu was angry, she couldn't hit her hard. I gave her a few words of advice, but Shuixiu and Xiaoyu were crying and didn't dare to get up. Aunt Wu turned around and said to me: "Talent, your Majesty, he

——Does he believe you?"

Does he believe me?

Hearing this sentence, I frowned slightly.

I know that all along, even when we were the most intimate, Pei Yuanhao only had 70% trust in me. Suspicion is the nature of a person like him. He will not and cannot completely trust anyone, especially me.

Such a woman.

However, his behavior today, neither happy nor angry, neither cold nor indifferent, made me a little bit unpredictable - I have no idea how much he listened to what I said or what others said, and how much he believed.

Thinking of this, I just feel exhausted.

Seeing me looking a little sleepy, Grandma Wu said: "Cai Ren, Cai Ren, you are also tired. Why not rest first? We can talk about anything tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she asked Shuixiu and the others to fetch hot water. After helping me wash up again, she asked Shuixiu and Xiaoyu to go out and keep watch for me. I waved my hand and said, "There is no need to keep anyone here tonight, you all."

Go down."

"Talent, what should we do?"

"I told you, it's okay."

Although I always speak calmly, Mother Wu and the others also know that as soon as I open my mouth, they will do it, and they no longer try to persuade me. After a few words of advice, they walked out with the two girls, closed the door, and looked far away.

I also heard her unwilling scolding and Shuixiu's aggrieved cry.

Sitting at the table, I went over everything tonight in my mind. Obviously, this matter was started a long time ago and was not hastily formed. And I don't know what else is in the hands of others.

Blame me for being too relaxed in the past.

An hour passed, and it was already over. I just felt exhausted physically and mentally, and my heartbeat was erratic. I should go to bed immediately, but I just sat at the table and used a silver hairpin to light the candle on the table.

I slightly highlighted it a little more.

The hissing sound of the hourglass seemed particularly clear in this quiet night.

What is clearer is the sound of footsteps coming from afar.

The closer it is to late at night, the more sensitive people's ears are. I am even more sensitive than ordinary people. As long as I am willing, I can hold my breath and hear distant sounds. The footsteps are very light. I heard them when a person walked outside the gate.

After a while, he seemed to say something in a low voice, and then he heard the guard also lower his voice: "... Madam, please don't worry, we have all received great kindness from you, of course this is a small matter..."

Then, the door opened.

The sound of footsteps was still very light, so light that it didn't even startle the wind. Naturally, it wouldn't startle anyone in Rong Jingzhai. However, they paused when the other party came to the door.

The candle burned quietly beside me, but because the door suddenly opened, it swayed vigorously.

Under the flickering candlelight, that charming face is right in front of you.

"It's really you..."

The dark figure standing in front of me was Shen Rou. She was wearing a black cloak to cover her graceful figure. Her whole body seemed to have blended into the night. Only in front of me, slowly

Revealed.

She gently lifted the cloak on her head, closed the door behind her, and smiled at me: "You seem to have known that I would come."

"Because others would never have imagined that the person who framed me would come to me immediately after I left Jingren Palace. So, I am waiting."

Her eyes flashed: "You know it's me?"

I said calmly: "I didn't put that medicine bag, of course it was only placed by others. The only one who could get so close to Xu Youling was Yuwen beside her, and Yuwen would not harm her master for no reason. It must be because someone promised

Only with heavy profits will she eat the Lord."

"Then how did you know it was me?"

"Because when I had a miscarriage last time, Xu Youling brought Yuwen to see me. At that time, I found that Yuwen was wearing a piece of jade jade. She couldn't afford such a thing with her salary, and it happened that-"

I raised my head and looked at her: "I served you in Chonghua Palace for a while."

Shen Rou raised a pair of catkins as if she wanted to pat them, but she smiled and lowered her hands again: "You are really smart, no wonder - you can kill Liu Ningyan so easily."

When Liu Ningyan was mentioned, my face suddenly froze.

The person who framed me will come tonight. I did calculate it, but I can’t figure out what she is going to do.

Although I can guess the ins and outs of Xu Youling's case, there is no evidence. As long as she doesn't come, I will still be at a disadvantage, but why does she come again?

I lowered my face and said, "What on earth are you doing here?"

She smiled slightly: "I just came to show you something."

As she spoke, she put one hand into the sleeve of the other hand and slowly took out something. When I looked up, all the blood in my body suddenly froze.

What she holds in her hand is exactly the famous brand Liu Ningyan held when she threatened me.

That famous brand was stolen, which has always been a thorn in my heart, but I never imagined that it would be in her hands!

As soon as she saw my expression change, Shen Rou's smile became even sweeter.

"I know as well as you what kind of person Liu Ningyan is. She dares to seduce the emperor, but she is not that capable of murdering Xu Youling, and she can't do those things. So the night before she was beaten to death with a stick.

, I will go to the prison to see

I killed her." At this point, the smile on her face was a bit cold and cruel: "You must have never imagined that before Liu Ningyan died unjustly, I interrogated her word by word. If she was right, she would nod, if not.

Yes, let her shake her head."

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Although I know that the emperor's decision to kill Liu Ningyan with a stick was clean and tidy, but if Shen Rou can come to see me tonight, then she will not be unable to see Liu Ningyan at that time.

Shen Rou sneered and said, "I spent the whole night interrogating her!"

"..."

"At the end of the trial, I found out something interesting."

"..."

"You, Yue Qingqing, harmed her."

"..."

"You not only harmed her, you also killed someone!"

Under the light, my face was as pale as a piece of paper, because all the blood in my body had condensed into ice, and even my hands that had been placed steadily on the table kept shaking.

"Yes, there have been no unexplained disappearances of maids in the palace over the years, and there have been no cases of deaths without evidence. Therefore, I sent people to search her things to see if there were any clues, but I discovered this."<

As she spoke, she slowly picked up the name tag, opened and closed her cherry-red lips, and read out the name on it——
