Everyone's eyes became clear: So it turns out that the main messenger behind the scenes is the Queen. Otherwise, the little palace maid would have called the Queen for help instead of calling out to others. Some of the concubines gradually felt a little gloating in their eyes. But Dongfang Chen's
His eyes suddenly tightened, and the look he stared at Yun Xiyao felt a little cold.
Yun Xiyao's face suddenly turned pale, and she opened her mouth to explain, but she didn't know how to explain it, and she understood that if she spoke now, it would only get darker and darker.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this little palace maid will not be so bold. There must be someone behind this." Concubine Dong Xian's soft voice sounded.
Dongfang Chen looked at Yun Xiyao's expression that became colder and colder.
On the side, Concubine Yuwen was anxious and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I think sister Xianfei is a little too worried. Sister Zhaoyi has just entered the palace. She is very close to us sisters and has never had any bad feelings. How could someone instruct a slave to do it to her?"
Poison, there must be some misunderstanding here."
Concubine Yuwen was the legitimate daughter of the Yuwen family and Yun Xiyao's cousin, so she naturally wanted to help Yun Xiyao get out of trouble. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had done something bad. Her explanation seemed like a cover-up.
Sure enough, Dongfang Chen glanced over coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Really?" Everyone could hear the ridicule and coldness in Dongfang Chen's tone.
"I think...that's it." Concubine Yuwen lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
Except for the former Yun Jingshu, no one can face the emperor's anger, including Yun Xiyao, who is now the queen.
Dongfang Chen sneered and turned to Yun Xiyao, "Queen, take care of these minions, I don't want this to happen again. As a queen, you don't need to teach you what you should and shouldn't do? If this happens again, do you?
I'm asking you about something! Let's end the banquet here today!" After saying that, Dongfang Chen became stern. As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Everyone bowed and said goodbye to Yun Xiyao, who was sitting in the back seat. Yun Xiyao, with a white face and a big belly, was sitting high on the phoenix chair, looking shaky. When everyone left, she didn't say a word, just sitting.
The inviolable and noble face is like an ice floe slowly breaking.
Yun Shangren and Yu Wenshi wanted to step forward and say something, but due to being in full view of everyone, they could only sigh secretly and leave with everyone.
Among the crowd, Yun Jingchu lowered his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slowly: Does it hurt? Yun Xiyao. You must hold on, this is just the beginning.
Yun Jingchu quietly followed the others outside. Suddenly, she stopped and whispered: "Oh, that's bad."
"What's wrong?" Zhu, Yun Jingxi, and Yun Jingteng all looked at her in surprise.
"I lost my jade earrings. They were given by my sister. Third brother, please go back with me. Fifth brother, please go with your mother first and wait for us in the carriage."
"Let Jingteng and I go back with you to find it." Zhu was a little worried.
"No, mother, I know where you threw it. I'll be back soon. Third brother, let's go." After Yun Jingchu finished speaking, he pulled Yun Jingxi and ran away.
"Jingteng, please accompany your mother out of the palace first." Yun Jingxi turned around and hurriedly confessed, then strode away with Yun Jingchu.
Yun Jingteng was told by Yun Jingyan not to run around before Yun Jingteng came here. He listened to Yun Jingxi's words, so he didn't dare to catch up and helped Zhu to walk out of the palace, turning back three times at a step.
Yun Jingchu took Yun Jingxi and ran into a woods. This place was not far from the banquet venue just now. The trees were dense and extremely dark. Suddenly, hoarse screams from women came one after another, very close at hand.
Pulling Yun Jingxi to hide behind a tree, Yun Jingchu looked at the open space. Four eunuchs waved wooden sticks as thick as their arms and hit a palace maid hard one after another. The palace maid had just been pulled down.
