Listening to the screams outside the door, the expressions on Concubine Yuwen and Concubine Dong Xian's faces remained unchanged, and they all lowered their eyes to drink tea.
Yun Jingchu seemed to lower his head, hiding the true expression in his eyes.
For a moment, there was only the sound of the board and the screams.
About half a cup of tea later, Xiao Qingzi's cry came from outside the door: "I'll move! I'll move..."
Xiao Qingzi was quickly dragged in. His back was bloody and his clothes were soaked. His face was filled with tears and tears. He lay on the ground with a dying breath. He kept repeating in a trembling voice: "I'll move... I'll move...
…”
Concubine Yuwen smiled coldly, put down the tea cup, and looked at the miserable little Qingzi on the ground, "Okay, now you can tell me, who gave you those blood-sucking insects?"
A flash of hesitation flashed in Xiao Qingzi's eyes, and then he gritted his teeth. A flash of determination and despair flashed in his eyes, and he gasped and said, "It's... the Queen's side... Princess Bingling..."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene gasped and looked at Xiao Qingzi in shock.
"Are you sure?!" Concubine Yuwen opened her eyes in shock and said, "If you dare to make false accusations, I'm warning you, be careful with your head!"
Xiao Qingzi nodded repeatedly, "Empress, I don't dare to deceive you even a little bit about what happened now. It was indeed given to me by Bingling, the female officer next to the Empress. This morning, I went to deliver breakfast to the Empress. From the house
When she came out, she was stopped by Lady Bing Ling, who asked her to help her keep something. The slave didn't dare to refuse, so he followed her to the room and took the jar out. Before leaving, Lady Bing Ling also ordered the slave to avoid it.
People's eyes and ears must not be discovered by others. Before I was discovered by the empress, I didn't know what was there... Your Majesty, please spare me. Everything I say is true and I don't dare to lie to you."
Xiao Qingzi explained everything intermittently.
Xiao Qingzi is the young eunuch in the imperial kitchen. Although Yun Xiyao is banned, someone still needs to deliver the meals. Xiao Qingzi is one of the young eunuchs responsible for delivering meals to Fengxiang Palace.
After listening, Concubine Yuwen lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something. The hall returned to silence and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Concubine Dong Xian rolled her eyes, turned to Concubine Yuwen, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, if this matter involves the Queen, it would be better to report it to the Emperor."
Concubine Yuwen's eyes flickered, and a look of embarrassment flashed across her face. Then she sighed helplessly and said, "Here, take Xiao Qingzi and me to see the emperor."
"Yes." The two eunuchs came in again, dragged Xiao Qingzi and walked out.
Concubine Dong Xian stood up and said with a hint of solemnity: "Sister Concubine Xian, Jingchu, you two should also go with me to see the emperor."
Half an hour later, the imperial study room and the side hall.
Dongfang Chen looked gloomy and looked at Xiao Qingzi lying on the ground. Xiao Qingzi stammered and explained what he had just said in Yuyu Palace again. Concubine Yuwen, Concubine Dong Xian and Yun Jingchu stood aside quietly with their heads lowered.
.
"...That's it, Your Majesty, please go around this servant. I don't know what harm is there." After explaining everything, Xiao Qingzi kowtowed again.
Dongfang Chen's expression was gloomy. After staring at Xiao Qingzi for a while, he slapped the handrail hard and said sternly: "An Fuhai, go and send the message to the Queen and Princess Bingling to see me here immediately!"
