"Nuansi, what did you say?" The emperor asked again to make sure he heard correctly.
"I said that I wanted to drag Qing'er out and behead him. Do you understand? He just cracked his neck with a knife." Nuan Si raised his hand in a funny manner and imitated it.
"Why?" The emperor didn't understand, and everyone didn't understand either. Even the person involved, Qing'er, didn't understand. What happened to the empress, who had always been kind and compassionate?
"Why? Your Majesty shouldn't ask this question about my concubine. Didn't you just find out through interrogation that Qing'er poisoned my concubine? Poisoning the queen was meant to kill the nine tribes, but I have always treated people with compassion, so I simply
Just kill Qing'er alone." Nuan Si explained with his big eyes blinking.
The emperor suddenly realized: "Nuan Si, I know that Qing'er must be killed, but it's too early now. I haven't yet interrogated whether the person behind the scenes is Mrs. Lan?"
Nuan Si smiled slyly: "This is easy to handle, leave it to me. As long as I drag Qing'er out and behead her now, I will know who is behind the scenes tomorrow."
"Oh? Is there such a strange thing? Can Nuan Si tell me how to make you so confident?" The emperor had never seen Nuan Si like this before, so he immediately became curious.
Nuan Si smiled mysteriously: "Is this it? The secret must not be leaked."
"Okay, then as you said, I'll kill Qing'er first and then talk about it." Since Nuan Si's finger healed, the emperor has been doubly gentle. He may have also realized some truth, he must cherish the people in front of him, otherwise he will not
One day, she is no longer there, and she will regret it.
"Why are you still standing there, why don't you drag him out?" the emperor yelled.
Qing'er came back to her senses and was in great pain. She knew she was finished, but she didn't expect that she would die so quickly. Moreover, it was the always kind Queen who ordered her to be dragged out. When Qing'er was dragged out, Qing'er couldn't help but look at Xue Bin.
I saw Snow Concubine pretending to drink tea, but not looking at herself. Qing'er didn't want to die, ten thousand people didn't want to die, but there was no way. If Snow Concubine was betrayed at this time, then her parents, brothers, sister-in-law, and elderly grandmother in her hometown would probably all be killed.
There was no way to escape death, so she chose to remain silent.
Snow Concubine did not expect that the Empress would do this. With Bai Ruolan as the scapegoat, she could sit back and relax, but after hearing what the little empress said just now, she couldn't help but feel uneasy and faintly uneasy.
Is she worried too much? Or is she worried too much?
There was no shouting, no tears. With just one strike, Qing'er's head fell to the ground, as easily as killing a cow or a sheep.
"Put away Qing'er's hair for me to use tomorrow night." Nuan Si said these horrifying words in front of all the concubines.
People are dead, why do they still need hair? Everyone thought that the little queen was mentally disturbed after her hand healed. The emperor also looked at Nuan Si with trepidation.
Nuan Si smiled and left like a normal person... Everyone looked at the pink figure and saw that she was still the little queen who loved to jump and dance before, but why did they feel that something was different? Where exactly was it?
late next day
Nuan Si brightly lit the lights in the front hall, and all the concubines in the harem were present again except the late concubine.
Nuan Si holds an incense burner in his hand, which is covered with black cloth. It looks very strange...
The emperor was sitting on the throne, and all the concubines were lined up in two rows below, waiting for the little queen's arrangements...
Taking a deep breath, Nuan Si looked up at the full moon in the sky and said strangely: "Tonight is the night of the full moon. Legend has it that the ghosts will come out of the underworld one after another. The incense burner in my hand is a soul-gathering furnace, which can gather ghosts."
Qing'er's hair is in the resentment, and Qing'er will definitely come back looking for her hair after a while."
A gust of dark wind blew by, and everyone shuddered unconsciously, and saw Xue Bin's face became even paler...
"I have cast a set of forbidden spells from my hometown here. You will put your hands in one by one and touch the incense burner. Qing'er's soul is inside. If she feels it, her master will definitely leave a mark on this person's hand.
If there are obvious marks, then the answer will be revealed naturally.”
"Okay, don't do anything wrong and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. I will come first." Concubine Qiu stood at the front. She was actually an atheist and did not believe in ghosts and gods at all. Moreover, she had nothing to do with this matter.
relationship, so she was the first to take the lead.
Nuan Si smiled and said, "Everyone, remember, if you touch the incense burner, hold it tightly after taking it out to prevent the marks from leaking out."
Shangguan Qiushui nodded, walked over, put his hand in, then clenched his fist and took it out, and walked aside...
Continuing in this order, all the concubines began to touch this strange incense burner. Although some were timid, they did not dare to disobey the order, because at this sensitive moment, if anyone did not want to touch it, then he was a suspect, and no one wanted to touch it.
The water is muddy, so no matter whether you dare or not, you must do it. If you are timid, you will close your eyes when you reach out. If you are bold, you can walk over and touch it and come out.
After a while, the concubines had finished their work. Nuan Si put the incense burner aside and said, "Everyone can spread their hands."
The two rows of concubines opened their palms one after another, and saw countless green lights shining in the dark night...
Some were so frightened that they screamed, what is going on? Why are the palms of their hands glowing with a green light?
Nuan Si took a quick look and walked up to Xue Bin. She saw her palms were flat and not shiny at all, so she smiled slightly and said, "It's you."
Snow Concubine was shocked: "Did you make a mistake, my concubine's hands are very clean, there is no that strange light."
Nuan Si smiled: "That's it, that's why I believe it's you."
"I don't understand." Xue Bin was stunned for a moment, obviously dissatisfied.
The emperor also frowned slightly: "Nuansi, what's going on?"
"Actually, this incense burner is not a soul-gathering burner. I said this on purpose, just to scare the interested person. I have sprinkled luminous powder on the incense burner in advance, so anyone who touches the incense burner will have luminous powder on their hands.
There is green light, which is the function of luminous powder." Nuansi explained.
The emperor suddenly realized, so he continued: "So, the real person behind the scenes did not dare to touch the incense burner because of a guilty conscience. He just pretended to reach under the black cloth, but did not actually touch the black cloth. Therefore, that person's hands are clean."
of."
"Yes, that's it. Your Majesty is wise." Nuan Si said.
"No, no, I'm not a concubine. Your Majesty has wronged me, so I'm not a concubine." Snow Concubine denied it until she died.
"Xuebi, I admire you very much. You can watch your confidant die and Qing'er die without you feeling sad at all?" Nuansi asked.
"I don't understand what the empress means. I have never done anything before, and I don't know Qing'er in the first place." Xue Bin said sternly.
"Xue Concubine, now that the evidence is conclusive, you still want to deny it?" The emperor was furious.
"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I dare to assume that all this is the Queen's plan. It was planned by the Queen in advance to lure us sisters into the bait. Maybe Qing'er is the Queen's person." Xue Bin said calmly.
analyze.
Nuan Si looked at her coldly: "At this time, do you still want to bite back?"
Snow Concubine sneered, "It's not a backlash, it's the truth. Please tell me, Your Majesty."
"What kind of clear identification method?" the emperor asked back.
"I have a witness, and it is an absolutely credible witness." Snow Concubine said confidently, sighing in her heart that it was lucky that she had been prepared for today, otherwise she would have been killed by the little queen.
"Witness? Oh? Then pass it on." The emperor eagerly wanted to know what tricks Xue Bin was playing.
"Bring witnesses to the palace." Xue Bin shouted loudly.
At this time, through the light of the lamp, I saw a woman approaching from a distance. That figure and face seemed very familiar...
she is……
When the woman approached, Nuan Si was shocked. No matter what, she never dreamed that this so-called witness was actually her?
"Bao'er? Why is it you?" Nuansi exclaimed subconsciously.
Bao'er applied for a complicated look at Nuan Si, then knelt down softly: "My wife, Bao'er, pays homage to the emperor, pays homage to the empress, and pays homage to all the masters."
Since Bao'er married Yan Yu as a concubine, she no longer had to call herself a slave in front of the emperor, but instead became a minister's wife, which means the wife and concubine of a minister.
"Ping Shen." The emperor was really shocked when he saw Bao'er.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bao'er's tone was calm, without any disturbance.
"Bao'er, are you a witness for Concubine Xue?" The emperor couldn't help but ask.
"Replying to the emperor, my wife is exactly the same."
"Oh? Then what do you want to prove?" the emperor asked.
After pondering for a while, Bao'er raised his head and looked at Nuan Si not far away and said word by word: "Prove that all this is a trap set by the Queen herself."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar. Who didn't know that Bao'er was the Queen's dowry concubine. She had followed her all the way from Xiliang for several years. Today, she actually said that all this was set up by the Queen. In fact,
It's incredible.
"Bao'er, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I think I treat you well, why do you want to slander me?" From the moment Bao'er came up, Nuan Si knew that she had to face
What, it’s nothing more than betrayal and betrayal, she sneered. Can people’s hearts be a little more ugly? No one can explain things clearly in this world.
"I'm sorry, empress, I really can't bear to see you frame the kind and innocent concubine Xue, so I want to announce your plan to the world." Bao'er said calmly.
"My crime? Announce it to the world? Ha, why don't I know it? Tell me." Nuan Si asked with a sneer.
Bao'er's face was ugly. He turned away from Nuan Si and said to the emperor: "The empress has always regarded the concubines in the harem as a thorn in her flesh, so she set up this situation to get rid of Ru Meiren, Mrs. Lan, and Xue in one fell swoop.
The plan of the three concubines and the empress was originally perfect, and only the courtier and Belle knew about it. However, Belle had already been in an affair with the empress, so she would never tell the truth. The slave girl was already married, so she felt that she wanted to stop the concubine's conspiracy.
So stand up and tell the truth."
Having said that, all the concubines in the room turned their murderous eyes towards Nuan Si...
Nuan Si squinted her eyes and looked at Bao'er: "Bao'er, it's enough to harm me. Don't ask Bei'er to support you."
"My wife didn't pull anyone to support her, and what she said was all the truth." Bao'er said coldly.
"Your Majesty, you have really wronged my concubine." Snow Concubine said with tears in her eyes.
The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "I didn't expect that the queen would be such a scheming person. Now that things have happened, queen, do you have anything else to say?"
Nuan Si shook her head and said with a smile, "I have nothing to say, I am concubine."
"Well, okay then. Let's take the queen to the prison first, and then she will tell you what happened." The emperor ordered, and two guards quickly came over and took Nuan Si away.
"Wait a minute, I will take off the phoenix crown first." After Nuan Si said this, he raised his hand and pulled off the golden phoenix crown. His beautiful long hair instantly spread out, making the emperor lose his mind for a moment. No woman in the world can be as good as Nuan Si.
So stunning...but the beauty is helplessly guilty at this time.
The emperor sighed: "When the queen is away, Concubine Yu will temporarily take over the harem."
"My concubine obeys the decree." Concubine Yu said with a smile on her face.
Nuan Si took a deep look at Bao'er before leaving...
Bao'er clasped his hands tightly, looking slightly nervous...
"Bao'er, I'm giving you a chance to tell the truth." Nuan Si looked at Bao'er disappointedly.
"Everything my wife said is true." Bao'er seemed to have made up his mind.
