Concubine Wanshu had been in a high position in the palace for many years, and she had long since mastered the ability to survive the collapse of a mountain without changing her appearance. However, at this time, her expression was frightened, her face was pale, and she no longer had the funny and charming look she once had.

This is because that red hairpin was her beloved thing. It was given to her as a handkerchief when she was a girl. Later, when the handkerchief was given to her, she kept it as a treasure.

Not many of the younger generation knew about this matter, but most of her acquaintances knew about it.

The princes did not expect that Xiao Yao would reveal such a shocking secret. It was too late to escape at this time, so they had to lower their heads and pretend not to hear.

Only Li Wei and Yun Yi subconsciously looked at the thin Xiao Yao who was kneeling on the ground, with worry and pity that they had never noticed flashed in their eyes.

She was afraid that she would never be able to have any more children in her life.

The fifth prince's expression was different from the others, because he had a good relationship with Concubine Wanshu, so naturally he was worried that he would be implicated.

The emperor's face was livid, he glanced at the golden hairpin, his eyes darkened, and he immediately looked at Concubine Wan Shu: "Concubine Shu, what's your explanation?"

Concubine Wanshu cried so hard: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have no enmity with the Crown Prince, and there is no prince to compete for the throne, so why bother to frame His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Mrs. Cheng'en's cold voice sounded: "Concubine Wan Shu has a good memory. Maybe when His Highness the Crown Prince offended Concubine Wan Shu, His Highness the Crown Prince did not remember it, but Concubine Wan Shu always remembered it. Furthermore, it does not mean that there is no injustice.

Qiu, when you violated the palace rules, the queen punished you, so you do have a grudge against the queen."

Duke Chengen knelt down directly to the emperor and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, A Xiu only left a drop of blood of His Highness the Crown Prince, but now he has been killed and his knees are desolate. Please punish the murderer and return His Highness's favor."

It’s fair!”

The emperor quickly helped Duke Chengen up and said: "Don't worry, Duke Chengen. Once everything is found to be true, I will give the prince justice."

The prince was so angry that he suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood when he heard this: "Father, isn't the evidence presented by the princess enough? Do you still intend to favor Concubine Wan Shu and not care about the orphans and the empress?"

He was seriously injured and could only speak intermittently. Because of the serious injury, his anger and resentment were also very obvious.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately put on a serious face: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I favor Concubine Shu?" After speaking, he looked at Concubine Shu and said, "Concubine Shu, how do you explain this red hairpin? If I remember correctly,

This was given to you by your friend in girlhood. You took it out and showed it to me more than once, and repeatedly said that it was your favorite thing."

Concubine Wanshu said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged... I don't know when I lost that red hairpin."

Xiao Yao looked at her: "May I ask Concubine Shu, where was the Zhu Chai originally placed? How could she have lost it so easily?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Concubine Wanshu.

Yes, Concubine Wanshu lives in the deep palace, and her beloved things are naturally placed in the boxes in the deep palace, so they will not be lost easily.

Concubine Wanshu arrived: "It was originally placed in a brocade box inside the dowry, but I haven't seen it for a long time. Now that I see it in the hands of the Crown Princess, I think it was lost."

Xiao Yao immediately lowered her pretty face: "Concubine Shu, do you mean that I deliberately stole this Zhu Chai to frame you? Concubine Wan Shu, why don't you tell me that we have no grievances?

Why do I want to frame you?"

There is a reason why she only targeted Concubine Wanshu this time and did not touch Princess An Ning.

Only for Concubine Wanshu, the emperor might be able to deal with it if all forces force her. But for two people whom the emperor trusts, the emperor would probably find ways to save them out of reluctance.

Concubine Wan Shu shook her head: "I don't mean this, but I really can't figure it out. The red hairpin was lost." After saying this, she looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Please believe me.

.”

Duke Cheng'en and his wife kowtowed and shouted in unison: "Please, Your Majesty, please give justice to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Their snow-white heads were knocked heavily on the ground, which made people look at them and make them feel extremely uncomfortable.

The prince who was lying on the bed also tried hard to sit up, but unfortunately he couldn't sit up, so he had to shout: "Father, do you want to see your children and grandchildren left alone?"

When Xiao Yao saw the three of them looking like this, he knew that he could not remain indifferent, so he had no choice but to kowtow and say the same thing.

Her skin was so tender that after just two bumps, her forehead turned red and faintly green.

Li Wei and Yun Yi subconsciously raised their feet and wanted to take a step forward.

Concubine Zhao had been paying attention to Li Wei. When she saw this, she secretly stretched out her hand and firmly grabbed the corner of Li Wei's shirt, preventing him from going out.

Then he remembered that Yun Yi was Li Wei's good friend, but if Li Wei didn't step up, Yun Yi would step up, and I was afraid that Li Wei and himself would also be blamed, so he hurriedly started to pull the corner of Yun Yi's shirt.

Li Wei and Yun Yi were pulled away, but their eyes were still looking at Xiao Yao. Seeing her continuing to kowtow along with Cheng'en Gong and his wife, their foreheads became even redder. They couldn't bear it any longer. They both broke free from Concubine Zhao's pull and knelt down.

In front of the emperor.

Li Wei said: "Father, Duke Chengen and his wife are already old and it is not appropriate to cause any harm. Why not ask Guan Liangdi, who is involved in the matter, to come and testify?"

Yun Yi also quickly said: "Your Majesty, since there are witnesses, it is best to confront them face to face. Why not let Guan Liangdi and Concubine Wanshu face to face?"

The emperor's secret thoughts were unknown. If his true thoughts were true, he would have wished that Duke Cheng'en, his wife, and the princess would have their foreheads smashed together so that they would no longer be an eyesore in front of him. Unfortunately, this would not work, and both Li Wei and Yun Yi heard this.

It was persuasion that he stepped forward to help Chengen Gong and his wife up again, told Xiao Yao not to kowtow anymore, and immediately called Guan Liangdi.

When he summoned Guan Liangdi, he glanced at Jia Li without leaving any trace.

When Jia Li saw it, he went out personally and ordered the young eunuch to take care of Guan Liangdi.

Cheng'engong and his wife were helped up to sit on the chairs. Although there was a maid supporting them, they were still leaning on the chairs. It was obvious that they were kowtowing very hard.

Xiao Yao was helped up by Qian Xiu. Her head was still red, but she seemed unconscious. She stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Father, Mr. Cheng'en and Mrs. Cheng'en seem to be unwell. Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?

?”

The emperor nodded: "Okay, go and ask for the imperial doctor."

Yun Yi glanced at Xiao Yao and wanted to speak again, but for fear of attracting other people's attention and having a bad impact on Xiao Yao, he could only purse his lips and said nothing.

Although the Crown Princess looked as if nothing had happened, it was not because nothing had happened, but because she was good at being patient. Just like on that cold night, she was a weak woman carrying three people on her back, but she was so tired that she could hardly walk.

But he didn't say a word and still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Levi lowered his eyelids and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

When Xiao Yao saw that the emperor was sure, he ordered someone to ask for the imperial doctor. He walked to the prince's bed, supported by pink clothes, and lowered his head to look at the prince's expression.

Seeing that the prince's lips were chapped, Fenyi hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao took it and sat beside the prince's bed, feeding the prince water little by little.

While the prince was drinking water, he looked at Xiao Yao, who had a red forehead but a gentle face. His throat suddenly felt sore, and his heart felt warm and sour at the same time. He whispered: "It's okay to be alone. Princess, don't worry."

Xiao Yao said: "His Highness finally woke up, he should take good care of his injuries."

The prince nodded seriously: "I know. But if there is no rules for handling such a big matter, how can I sit still and recuperate in peace of mind?"

Xiao Yao said hurriedly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. My father is wise and will definitely give justice to the East Palace."

When the emperor heard Xiao Yao getting involved with him, he felt murderous intent in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. He just nodded and said: "Prince, don't worry, I will not tolerate it."

The prince said to the emperor in a sick voice: "Thank you, father. I was so excited that I made a speech before. Please forgive me."

The emperor waved his hand: "How can I blame you? What happened to the East Palace is because I don't care enough about you."

At this time, the palace maid brought the stewed bird's nest, and Xiao Yao reached out to take it and fed it to the prince bit by bit.

Seeing this, Concubine Zhao said softly: "Although the Crown Prince has been through many hardships, with such a caring person as the Crown Princess, blessings lie ahead." After speaking, she covered her handkerchief and looked at the Emperor with a smile, and said, "I saw the Crown Princess feeding the Crown Prince.

Your Highness used bird's nests, and I remembered that once, when the Emperor was infected with cold, the Queen fed him bird's nests."

After hearing this, the emperor slowly showed a nostalgic smile on his face: "The queen is excellent."

At this time, Li Wei suddenly said: "Father, mother, concubine, and Guan Liangdi are still in the future. Why don't you go out and take a look?"

Yun Yi also nodded: "I'll go too."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a lot of noise outside.

After hearing this, Yun Yi hurriedly said: "Maybe something happened." After saying that, he was about to go out.

Xiao Yao whispered to the man in pink beside him, "Just go out and take a look." He then said to Li Wei and Yun Yi, "Your Highness, Mr. Yun, the Sixth Highness, there is a chaos outside, I'm afraid you may collide with each other, so why don't you two stay here?"

Here?"

At this time, a little eunuch with an ugly face hurried in. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and said, "There is an assassin. An assassin has stabbed Aunt Fangyue."

Emperor Long Yan was furious: "This is the East Palace, why are there assassins? What do you do for food?" He asked again, "Who is Fang Yue?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yao stepped forward and said, "Back to the emperor, Fang Yue is an aunt in charge of the East Palace."

The emperor was very puzzled: "Since she is a steward and an aunt, why was she attacked?"

Xiao Yao shook his head and said he didn't know.

At this time, the footsteps of several people were heard outside. Soon, the curtain was opened, and several people walked in with Guan Liangdi.

The little eunuch glanced at Guan Liangdi and immediately took a breath.

The emperor looked at the young eunuch with a gloomy face: "What did you find?"

The young eunuch kowtowed hurriedly, and while kowtowing, he said: "To inform Your Majesty, Guan Liangdi's body shape and the color of her clothes are similar to Aunt Fangyue."

After hearing this, Duke Chengen immediately said in a deep voice: "Someone must want to kill people and silence them."

Emperor Long Yan was furious and shouted: "Check, investigate thoroughly immediately!"

The leader of the guards waiting outside heard this and quickly followed the order and went out.

The emperor looked at Guan Liangdi who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face, then quickly glanced at Concubine Wanshu, and said: "Guan Liangdi, why did you poison the heirs of the East Palace?"

The prince hated Guan Liangdi so much that he wanted to scold her when he saw her. He heard that the young eunuch behaved unusually, so he endured it. When the emperor asked, he quickly said: "Bitch, who ordered you to poison the heirs of the East Palace?

You'd better recruit from the real situation!"

Guan Liangdi glanced at the prince, her expression pale, and then looked at the emperor: "Back to the emperor, I have no such intention. It was Concubine Wanshu who threatened the lives of my family, so I had to obey orders." Then she said where.

The story of how he met Concubine Wanshu and was stopped and threatened by Concubine Wanshu was explained clearly.

Concubine Wanshu's face was paler than Guan Liangyuan's. After hearing Guan Liangdi's words, she immediately shouted: "Bitch, who asked you to frame me? Your Majesty is wise and will never be fooled by you!"
