Wen Nianruan took a sip of tea, stared intently, and made the final negotiation: "Your Majesty, I can stand on your side and help you deal with the Queen Mother's party. This is my final concession."
Xiao Jinran suddenly turned to look at her and paused: "Okay, I promise you."
Wen Nian smiled softly, brushed off his skirt, stood up, and bent down: "After the Queen Mother's party is eliminated, please ask the emperor to fulfill today's promise and send the concubine out of the palace."
"I will do what I say."
Xiao Jinran frowned, seemingly upset.
Wen Nianruan said: "I need to put on a show with the emperor later. Through this show, I can settle the matter of Concubine Shu. At the same time, the emperor will also send me to the cold palace, so that I can
Now that she has become an abandoned child in the hands of the Queen Mother, she will never use her concubines to harm the Emperor again."
This is truly the best of both worlds.
But at the thought of banishing Wen Nianruan to the cold palace, Xiao Jinran hesitated, and then one word escaped from his throat: "Yeah."
Wen Nianruan was happy in her heart. If she was thrown into the cold palace, Xiao Jinran would not go to her palace again, and the Queen Mother would not go to her in the future. She would not hold any large or small banquets in the palace.
No need to attend anymore.
Isn't it a wonderful little life to just be a salted fish in the palace and climb over the wall at night to find the imperial master?
When I can leave the palace in the future, I will stay and fly with the Imperial Master.
Through this incident, it can not only help Su Wanyan escape, but also allow herself to be free in the future, killing two birds with one stone.
Wen Nianruan hid her excitement and kept her expression calm: "However, I still need to go see the maid who testified against Concubine Shu."
Xiao Jinran frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and asked Eunuch Fang to take Wen Nianruan to see the maid.
When going to see the maid, Wen Nianruan picked a leaf by the roadside and twisted it in his hands.
The maid was locked in a room. Eunuch Fang opened the door and exited. When the maid saw Wen Nianruan, she shivered and huddled in the corner: "Wen, Concubine Wen."
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to send you on your way."
Wen Nianruan spoke softly, squatting in front of the maid, and whispered softly: "Tell me, who caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry?"
Her soft voice wiped away some of the panic in the maid's heart, but the maid still avoided looking at her and said hesitantly: "Yes, it's Concubine Shu."
Wen Nian's soft and delicate fingertips lifted the maid's chin, and a faint light flashed in his fox eyes: "No, it's me."
"Wha, what?" The maid was stunned.
"Remember, it was me who caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry."
Wen Nianruan was still whispering, and he put the leaf in his hand to his mouth and blew slowly. The soft melody was like hypnosis, and the maid's pupils slowly dilated until they were dull and lifeless.
Wen Nianruan threw the leaves into his hands and asked the maid again: "Who caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry?"
"It's Concubine Wen."
The maid's eyes were empty and dull, and her words had no emotion at all.
"Good boy, you are so obedient."
Wen Nianruan stood up, her head was spinning, and she almost fell to the ground. Thousands of sweat broke out on her pale face. Wen Nianruan wiped it with her sleeve, and took a few deep breaths to stabilize her breathing.
Her body is too weak to support her using the Sound Control Technique.
Half an hour later, Chaoyang Palace.
The Queen Mother was wearing pajamas and sitting in front of a bronze mirror inlaid with diamonds and gold. She looked at her still charming appearance in the bronze mirror. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed to be in a very happy mood.
She slowly took off the armor on her hands and prepared to rest. Aunt Gui ran over with a pale face and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good. The emperor found out that Concubine Wen was the murderer who caused Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage and said that she would be beaten.
Into the cold palace."
"What?!"
The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Change clothes for the Ai family."
"."
When the Queen Mother hurried to the royal study, Wen Nianruan was kneeling outside the door crying with pear blossoms in the rain, her soft crying voice made people feel heartbroken.
Xiao Jinran stood in front of her, looking at her with indifference, but there was an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
Even though he knew Wen Nianruan was acting now, seeing her crying, tender and pitiful, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
Suppressing the feeling in his heart, Xiao Jinran looked away from Wen Nianruan in annoyance.
Seeing the Queen Mother, Wen Nianruan cried even harder, her red fox eyes filled with tears, and she was out of breath crying: "Mother, the Queen Mother, you have to save my concubine, my concubine, my concubine
It's unjust, Chen. I didn't harm the child in Zhao Xiuyi's belly at all."
When it comes to acting and crying scenes, she is at the top of her game.
The Queen Mother naturally knew that she was wronged, and she knew better than anyone the person who caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry.
The Queen Mother turned to look at Xiao Jinran and asked angrily: "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? The person who caused Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage was obviously Concubine Shu, so what does it have to do with Nian Ruan?"
Xiao Jinran snorted coldly: "The Queen Mother is afraid that she doesn't know something. I just found out the reason. The real person who caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry was Concubine Wen."
"Nonsense! The emperor is talking nonsense. Is there any evidence that can accuse Zheng Nianruan of being the murderer?"
The Queen Mother argued hard and wanted to keep Wen Nianruan, not because she loved Wen Nianruan so much, but because she didn't want to give up this chess piece yet.
More importantly, Wen Nianruan was simply wronged. She couldn't let Wen Nianruan take the blame on Su Wanyan's behalf. All her plans were aimed at Su Wanyan. If Su Wanyan escaped, Wen Nianruan would
If she was accused, wouldn't she lose her wife and lose her troops?
Xiao Jinran sneered: "Since the Queen Mother wants evidence, I will bring the evidence to you." Turning his eyes, he ordered Eunuch Fang: "Go and bring the maid here."
"Old slave, I obey."
When Eunuch Fang came over with the maid who had testified against Su Wanyan, the Queen Mother's pupils shrank and her expression tightened.
The maid was kneeling on the ground, with a stiff expression on her face and dull eyes, as if she was being manipulated.
Xiao Jinran looked at the maid, then turned to look at Wen Nianruan. When she saw Wen Nianruan raising an eyebrow at him, she thought that it would be fine if he just asked, so she was ready.
Xiao Jinran turned his eyes and stared at the maid with cold eyes: "Tell the Queen Mother that you caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry."
"Back to the Emperor, it was Concubine Wen who caused Zhao Xiuyi to miscarry." As she said that, the maid took out a sachet. The Queen Mother gave one to everyone at the banquet, including Su Wanyan and Wen Nianruan.
The Queen Mother's eyes twitched when she saw that the sachet in the maid's hand was the one she gave to Su Wanyan.
The maid said: "This is the sachet that the Queen Mother gave to everyone at the banquet. After the banquet, Concubine Shu and Concubine Wen went together to deliver scented tea and sachets to Zhao Xiuyi. On the way, Concubine Wen and Concubine Shu
The sachets were changed, and the sachet contained by Concubine Wen was not floral, but musk."
The maid's tone of voice was emotionless, stiff and cold, as if she was being controlled by someone.
