Looking at Wu'er's retreating figure, Xin Bin couldn't help but burst into tears. In her heart, she indeed treated Wu'er as a sister. But now in order to protect herself, she had to take advantage of the people closest to her. Her heart really

It hurts, she cheated on Wuer.【 | 】

"Wu'er, I'm sorry, but only in this way can we have a chance to survive." Xin Bin's heart couldn't calm down at the moment. She stood quietly in front of the window and looked at the crescent moon outside the window. It took a long time before she turned around.

"Your Majesty, Sister Wu'er has sent a servant to serve your Majesty." The little palace maid stepped forward and said.

Xin Bin looked at her for a moment, then smiled and said: "Dong'er, I want to have fun with you, come here."

The little palace maid Dong'er was a little surprised when she heard this, and the next moment she stepped forward with a smile. Xin Bin whispered a few words in her ear, and then pulled her behind the screen.

It was late at night, but Concubine Shu was not sleepy at all. She was walking back and forth in the palace, feeling more and more irritable. Things were beyond her control. Now she was a little passive, especially after hearing the secret report from the slave that the fifth elder brother had gone to Xin in the evening.

After arriving at the concubine's place, I felt even more panicked.

"Empress, the maid next to Empress Xinbin asked to see you. She said she was ordered by Xinbin." Luoying reported next to Concubine Shu.

"Announce her to come in." Concubine Shu had long expected that Xin Bin would lose her temper, but now even she was a little panicked. She expected Xin Bin to be like this.

Luoying took the little palace maid into the palace, and then exited at Concubine Shu's signal.

"Tell me what your master told me!" Concubine Shu was in a bad mood. She didn't even raise her head to look at the little palace maid standing below.

"Sister!" The little palace maid raised her head and said softly.

"Xin Bin!" Concubine Shu was surprised and couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Why are you dressed like this?" She didn't expect Xin Bin to come like this.

"I have to do this in order to cover up others' eyes and ears. Sister, now the fifth elder brother has found clues, but there is no conclusive evidence. It's just... I am a little worried. Is the maid who identified Concubine Yu reliable? What if she can't bear it?

If the imperial concubine is tortured and confessed, then..." Xin Bin felt extremely worried when she said this.

"Don't worry, I placed her in the Yonghe Palace ten years ago. Although she is just an inconspicuous maid, she can kill people at critical moments. She is my sworn warrior, and she will be there when necessary.

She will make a choice." Concubine Shu was not worried about the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, I have made arrangements, please rest assured." Xin Bin said softly.

"Okay, you and I will both be prosperous and devastated. Xin Bin, I can't admit it no matter what, and I have to hold on to it no matter what, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Concubine Shu warned in a deep voice.

"I understand." Xin Bin nodded fiercely. By now, she had already prepared for the worst.

Early the next morning, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs broke into Xinbin's palace with an imperial edict.

"What are you doing here?" Xin Bin asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, my servants and others have been ordered to take the maids in your palace to the Punishment Department. Please make it convenient for your Majesty."

"Who to take?" Although Xin Bin was confident, she still wanted to ask clearly.

"Wu'er." The leading eunuch said, and then ordered the young eunuchs to rush forward: "Take them away!"

"Empress!" Wu'er shouted with red eyes.

"Wu'er" Xin Bin was so heartbroken that she couldn't help but step forward to pull Wu'er back.

"Don't worry, Madam." A flash of determination flashed across Wu'er's face, and Xin Bin couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wu'er, I won't let anything happen to you!" Xin Bin clenched her fists and shouted in her heart.

The news that the slaves in the Xin concubine palace were taken away soon spread throughout the harem and aroused everyone's discussion.

"Empress, Concubine Qing is here." Bingruo whispered in Wei Ning'er's ear.

"Please come quickly!" Wei Ning'er nodded.

"Ning'er, have you heard? Yongqi has found out about Concubine Xin. She is the most suspect. She is the only one who comes in and out of Concubine Yu's palace every day. She has such a chance. Yongqi has already informed the emperor.

The personal maid next to the concubine has been taken to the Criminal Punishment Department, and I think there will be news soon." Lu Yunxi also didn't want to see anything happen to Concubine Yu, and this news was very satisfying to her.

"Xin Bin!" Wei Ning'er frowned slightly: "I have already warned her, but she is still so stubborn, so let's just wait and see what happens now!" After saying this, Wei Ning'er turned around and said: "Xiao Yizi, go tell Wu

Brother, be careful when interrogating. Don’t let those slaves lose their lives. The master has a life, and the slaves must obey. It is best to be moved by emotion and understand by reason. Outside of the order, keep an eye on them and don’t give them anything.

opportunity to commit suicide.”

Everyone is well aware of the affairs in the palace, but sometimes it is inevitable to neglect them.

"Yes, I will go to Yonghe Palace now!" Xiao Yizi responded and went out of the palace.

"Xin Bin is really worried that the world will not be in chaos!" Lu Yunxi sighed.

"We don't have to make a conclusion prematurely, just wait and see!" At this point, Wei Ning'er doesn't want to ask more about this matter. Concubine Yu is smart, and with the help of her fifth elder brother, she thinks she will be able to get through the difficulty!

In the evening, the Yongxuan brothers returned to Yanxi Palace. Wei Ning'er came up and said with a smile: "You are back. E Niang specially asked the small kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

"Mother, I just went to the Imperial Grandmother to pay my respects. Sister Bishuang is also in Cining Palace. Before leaving, Sister Bishuang told me that my aunt wants to see you!" Yongxuan said respectfully.

"Your aunt!" Wei Ning'er became a little solemn when she heard this. She remembered that Ruoyan had wanted to invite her to Fucha during the New Year's Eve family dinner. She really took it to heart at that time and was planning to take her children with her when the weather warmed up.

It's just that the warmth turned cold in the early spring, so it was delayed. Now Ruoyan asked the fourth princess to take the opportunity of entering the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother to send a message. There must be something urgent.

Early the next morning, Wei Ning'er ordered a group of servants to ask for the emperor's order and wanted to take Yongxuan to the Fucha Mansion. Unexpectedly, a servant came forward to report that the wife of a great scholar wanted to see him.

"Bingruo, go and invite her in quickly," Wei Ning'er said urgently."

"My slave, go right away." Bingruo responded repeatedly.

"Ning'er." Ruoyan looked at Wei Ning'er with an anxious look on his face.

"Go to the inner hall!" Wei Ning'er pulled Ruoyan and walked inside.

"What urgent matter do you have for me?" After sending all the servants out, Wei Ning'er asked in a low voice.

"At the end of last year, Ruolin went back to Yehenala's house to visit her relatives. I didn't know about it. I only heard about it later when I went back to my parents' house to pay her New Year's greetings. You know, due to various reasons in the palace, her sisters and I

The relationship between us is no longer what it was before. Over the years, one has been in the palace and the other has been outside the palace. The relationship between sisters has become even weaker, but she must be my sister. I have to take care of anything that happens to her!" Ruoyan was really worried in her heart.

"What happened to her? Don't be impatient. Speak slowly!" Wei Ning'er held her hand and said softly.

"She hasn't been back to visit relatives for many years. She was a little happy when she saw E Niang, so she drank a few more drinks and clamored to accompany E Niang. How could the servants dare to stop her? She has suffered a lot in these years and was slightly drunk.

So I said something I shouldn't have said in front of E Niang." Ruoyan's hands trembled slightly when she said this, and she said in a trembling voice: "Is Ruolin's tenth prince really killed by the queen?"

Wei Ning'er frowned slightly when she heard this and said: "I heard Concubine Shu say this at first. It was the queen who ordered Yibin to do it. Yibin is already dead and no one mentioned it anymore. When the tenth prince died, I

I'm not in the palace, so I don't know about this matter, and I don't know if Concubine Shu has misunderstood, but in those years the queen was the only one in power, so it was possible that she could do something so cruel."

"No matter what the facts are, Ruo Lin has determined that the original culprit is the Queen, and she said she wants revenge." Ruo Yan felt frightened when she thought about it!

"It makes sense." Wei Ning'er nodded.

"But yesterday I heard from Fu Heng that the little clay figurine that cursed Brother Twelve was found in Concubine Yu's palace, and later got involved with Concubine Xin, right?" Ruoyan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the three-day period is coming soon. I think there will be results tomorrow." Wei Ning'er said softly.

"Ning'er, I'm very worried. Do you know? Ruolin once asked the servants in the mansion to bake three identical little clay figurines for her. They were the old servants in the mansion and were the most loyal. As soon as Ruolin left, he

Then I told my mother about this. She just thought it was strange and told me. I was also wondering what she was going to do. I heard Fu Hengyi say it yesterday and I was so frightened that I couldn't help but go to the palace to see you.

." When she learned everything yesterday, Ruoyan couldn't rest for a moment.

"It's actually like this!" Wei Ning'er was shocked when she heard this, and said after a while: "So, this matter was done by Concubine Shu and Xin Bin together."

"Ning'er, I didn't expect her to be so confused, but it has already happened. I can't ignore it, otherwise my mother and the others will be implicated." Ruoyan had no choice.

"Leave this matter to me!" Wei Ning'er said after thinking for a moment.

"Are you sure?" Ruoyan asked hurriedly.

"I'm not completely sure, but I have to give it a try." Wei Ning'er finished speaking and went to the outer hall and said to Bing Ruo: "Go and invite Concubine Yu, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin to Yanxi Palace, and tell them that I will invite them to tea.

.”

"Yes, empress." Bingruo immediately went down and ordered.

About half an hour later, Concubine Yu and three others arrived at Yanxi Palace one after another.

"I wonder what you mean by calling me here?" After a while, Concubine Shu finally couldn't help it anymore and asked with a smile.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wei Ning'er finally smiling. It was strange for them that Wei Ning'er invited them to drink tea, but when they arrived at Tingxi Palace, Wei Ning'er didn't say a word, which really made them uneasy.

Even Concubine Yu, who was close to Wei Ning'er, was a little uneasy.

"How does my tea taste?" Wei Ning'er asked with a smile.

"The fragrance is pleasant!" Xin Bin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's tea is naturally good." Concubine Shu also smiled.

Concubine Yu didn't say much. Based on her understanding of Wei Ning'er, she had already noticed something unusual about this matter.

"Really? Since the two sisters like it, drink more. In the future, remember how good I am to you, and don't cause any more trouble to me." Wei Ning'er said with a solemn face.

When Concubine Shu and Concubine Xin heard this, their expressions changed greatly.

"I am foolish and stupid, please make it clear." Concubine Shu took a deep breath and asked.

"I ask you, why did you use that little clay figurine to curse the twelfth prince and put the blame on Concubine Yu? I am also curious, Xinbin, why did you cooperate with her to get the eighth princess back?" Wei Ningren said in a deep voice.
