She looked at the queen with a solemn face, opened her mouth, but the words changed to her mouth, and said, "The Empress is wise and powerful, so she is not afraid of these villains. She is fortunate to be sheltered with the Empress. This is a blessing for the civilian women to cultivate in their three lives. She is afraid that the civilian women will miss the great affairs of the Empress here, and she also misses the elders and children in the family. She dares to ask the Empress to agree, and just let the woman go back."

The queen's face changed, then raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay. Since you were brought into the palace by the emperor, I will be a good care of you. You can stay in the palace with peace of mind and wait until everything is settled before going back."

Pei Xiner heard that she refused so neatly and knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so she had to shut up and responded silly: "Then... I'll trouble the Empress."

The queen smiled, turned around and said to the people around her, "Mrs. Pei lives in the greenhouse in the West Pian Hall. You are very happy to serve and do not neglect."

The palace maid immediately responded and came forward to take Pei Xiner down. Pei Xiner could not do so, so she had to bow and retreat with the palace maid.

She was left in the palace like this, and after three days of ignorance, there was no news about what happened outside. She invited the queen several times but failed. The palace people only said that the queen was busy with palace affairs and had no time to see her. She did not dare to break into the palace without authorization, so she could only hold it in depression.

The queen did not restrict her actions, but how could she dare to go out for herself? Not to mention that the palace rules were strict and she might violate a certain rule at any time, just say that the women in the harem were all scheming and superb. What if someone had any bad intentions, she could still compete with the empresses in the palace?

What's more, the palace is afraid of a panic in the current palace. Just look at the palace maids who were ordered to serve her. The expression on her face became more and more serious, and her eyes revealed a panic that day. It can be seen that the queen did not say nonsense that day, and the palace was really cleaning. At this time, she almost wanted to lock herself in the house and not go out at all. How could she run out foolishly and make people doubt or throw dirty water?

So after she stayed in the small warmhouse for three days, at noon on the fourth day, the queen finally sent someone to invite her out.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the palace people around her did not have too many ominous expressions on their faces, she thought that the matter of cleaning the harem was still under control and did not develop any immeasurable consequences, which made her feel a little more at ease. The palace maid who was ordered to announce her took her and did not walk to the main hall, but quietly walked into the side hall from the back door. She couldn't help but be stunned.

Before he could ask what was going on, the voice suddenly floated over from the main hall, mixed with a few stern shouts and a whimpering cry. He was shocked and looked at the palace maid ahead.

The palace maid just smiled and invited her to a stool to sit down. There was a screen in front of the stool. From the gap in the screen, you could see the situation in the main hall, and then bowed and turned around and retreated.

Pei Xiner understood a little, so she didn't ask again, but looked out through the gap, and immediately felt tighter in her heart.

I saw that there were many people gathered in the main hall now. There were several empresses in the main position who had seen them before, and many other women in palace clothes. Their temperaments were different from those of the palace maids. I think it was the concubines who were not qualified to appear in front of others on weekdays.

Judging from this attitude, could the queen gather all the concubines in the harem together?

She became more and more sure of the guess in her heart, and her heart beat faster, and she became more and more focused on watching what was happening ahead from behind the screen.

The concubines sat or stood according to their own rank, with their faces calmed down. The atmosphere in the main hall was very depressing, and it felt like they were breathless. In front of the queen, in the center of the main hall, a woman in gorgeous palace dress knelt on the ground, her whole body was trembling, and her makeup was crying. She was filled with unstoppable fear, and the whimpering crying sound came from her mouth, and she said tremblingly: "Empress... Empress, I am wronged! I am the emperor's woman, why, how dare I reveal the emperor's affairs to others? Someone must be framed by me behind my back. Empress is very careful and must be the master of me!"

The queen sat high above the phoenix throne. Although she was not angry, her calm appearance even more majestic. A trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes from time to time, making people feel chill when they see it and dare not look at her.

She said slowly and calmly: "Concubine Rong, you are also an old man in the palace. After ten years of entering the palace, it is no less than this. After so long, don't you know that there is no airtight wall in the palace? Do you really think that your eyeliners are all people who are devoted to the earth? No matter how comprehensive the arrangement is, as long as you can touch the tip of the iceberg, I will have my own way to follow the clues and involve everything. After so many years, I should also be clear about my methods. Tell you straight, no one frames you, all the evidence is found by me, and you still want me to uphold justice for you?"

Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, and for a while, the fear on her face gradually deepened, and a look of despair came out, squirming her lips, but she couldn't say anything.

Under the queen, some of the other high-ranking concubines were shocked, some of them looked calm, with a gloating light in their eyes, and some of them looked indifferent, as if they were not in charge of their own affairs and were hanging high.

The queen said, "Molan, let me hear what Concubine Rong did to the empresses in each palace, so as not to say that our palace is unfair and frame and accusation."

As soon as these words came out, a palace maid next to her had just stepped forward and heard a low-ranking concubine say anxiously: "I dare not take this from the Empress. Who in the world knows that the Empress always enforces the law impartially and is never biased, let alone your mother is in charge of the six palaces. How can you frame whom you? Although I don't know what Concubine Rong did, she must have done something unforgivable that the Empress would punish her like this. I will never question the Empress's decision."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong suddenly turned her head, stared at the concubine, squeezed out a sound from her teeth, and said hatefully: "Guy Su, you..."

She obviously had a great reputation all day long, or there was some unknown relationship between Concubine Su and her. Concubine Su suddenly shrank, immediately lowered her head, looking very scared, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Pei Xiner was surprised to see this scene in the side palace. She naturally knew about Concubine Rong and had seen it many times. She entered the palace in the same year as the queen, and was one of the earliest concubines of the emperor. After a long palace struggle, now, there are only three women who entered the palace that year. Apart from the queen and her, there is only one Wan Zhaoyi. The others either died or were invaded to the cold palace. It can be seen that the struggle in the palace is cruel. These three people are in high positions, and each has a prince or a prince, so each has a group of forces.

The gang formations in the harem were no less serious than those in the previous dynasty. Women who had no faction at all would not live long in the palace. Then Concubine Su must have defected to a certain force. Judging from Concubine Rong and her performance just now, it would not be impossible to say that she was a vassal of Concubine Rong before.

Concubine Rong had a daughter, which was quite favored by the emperor, so she was considered a real power figure in the harem, and her status was only below the queen. When Pei Xiner saw her, she couldn't help but take a breath. She knew that 80% of the spies in the harem were Concubine Rong, but she couldn't figure out why she had to betray the emperor with her current status? Whoever didn't even have a prince, wouldn't she know that once the emperor collapsed, she would be in trouble?

Pei Xiner couldn't help but guess. At this time, when the queen heard the words of Concubine Su, she glanced at her with a smile and said lightly: "It's rare that Concubine Su trusts me so much, but I know that not everyone is like this. For the sake of fairness, it's better to say it."

As soon as these words were said, the other concubines couldn't sit still and hurriedly spoke. All kinds of flattering and pleasing words came out, which was nothing more than praising the queen for being fair and selfless, and saying that she would never believe that the queen would make trouble and frame others. Pei Xiner couldn't help but sigh slightly when she saw this, knowing that Concubine Rong was finished.

After all, the queen is the lord of the Six Palaces, and she is very authoritative, and it forces everyone to express her opinions. Now even if she is wrong, she can only be right. Everyone can only agree with her words and cannot question her. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a slap in his mouth? Those who go back on their word will not be able to get any place.

Pei Xiner didn't think that the queen would frame Concubine Rong, and deliberately let her get over the tank. After all, the liquidation was the emperor's intention, and maybe the emperor's power was in the process. If the queen was smart, she should know that she could not do anything clever, otherwise she would be discovered by the emperor and she would not even have any good results. Therefore, the matter of Concubine Rong in the palace should be unquestionable, but Pei Xiner still didn't understand why Concubine Rong wanted to do such a brainless thing and dig her own grave?

The queen was naturally very satisfied with everyone's statement, while Concubine Rong, who looked like paper, looked desperate, and was almost dull. However, although the concubines all expressed that they would not doubt the queen, she still ordered Molan to tell them all the things found. This was not really to show that she was selfless, but to shock the concubines.
