"You said you were wronged! I'm going to call all the slaves in your Ruide Palace. I want to hear what your Concubine De was doing in my harem during this period?" Han Qilu gave an order and was sent outside.

The person who wrote the note took small steps into Fengyi Palace.

The person who appeared at this time was beyond everyone's expectations. This woman, Su Zimo, had been seen three or four times. She must be one of Concubine De's personal maids and she often accompanied Concubine De.

"Slave Zuiying pays homage to the Emperor, the Queen and all the masters." Zuiying walked straight forward without leaving her eyes at the ground.

"Tell me, where did you get this note?"

Zuiying knelt on the ground and raised her head to look at the Emperor and the Empress, with a frightened look in her eyes: "A few days ago, I saw Concubine De coming out in a hurry in the middle of the night, but I didn't know what she was doing. After a few days, I felt very sad.

I was curious, so I couldn't help but secretly follow the Queen out a few days ago, and found that the Queen was exchanging something with a man dressed as a guard. Later, when I saw that the Queen was going back, I hurried back to Red Palace before the Queen. Last night

, the slave girl followed the queen again. Just after the queen exchanged things with the guard, she heard a movement in the imperial garden and left in a hurry. In a hurry, the slave girl saw that the guard had dropped something. When the queen and the guard left, the slave girl stepped forward to pick it up.

When I got up, I discovered that it was a list of buying and selling officials! The servant was frightened, so he came to hand this thing to the Queen."

"You are such a mouthful! Zuiying, I treat you well, why did you do this to wrong me!" Concubine De's eyes were filled with fire and her heart was furious. She would never have thought that the person who betrayed her was actually her usual self.

The most trustworthy Drunken Warbler!

"Your Majesty, what I have said is true. Moreover, the imperial concubine's seal has always been kept by the empress herself. None of our maids know where the imperial concubine's seal was placed. This seal must have been printed by the empress herself!"

When Zuiying heard what Concubine De said, she shrunk and hurriedly bowed her head to the emperor.

This maid is obviously talking nonsense, buying and selling officials! What a heinous crime!

Last night, Concubine De obviously went to Xin Xueyuan to discuss Concubine Hao's matter with her, so how could she go to the imperial garden to meet the guards? Su Zimo looked at the maidservant and frowned. She wanted to help Concubine De.

, but she lied to the emperor last night. She went to the Imperial Garden with Jin Shu, and she never mentioned Concubine De from the beginning to the end. Now if she said that Concubine De was at Xin Xueyuan last night, the emperor would immediately understand her.

lied.

Su Zimo turned around and looked at Yang Jinshu. Seeing that Yang Jinshu was also frowning, he secretly took Yang Jinshu's little hand and wrote the four words "Be safe and don't be impatient" on Yang Jinshu's palm.

Yang Jinshu understood and nodded slightly to Su Zimo, but his brows could not open.

"Concubine De, do you usually keep the imperial concubine's seal by yourself?" the queen asked in a gentle voice and carefully.

Hearing this, Concubine De's face suddenly turned ugly. She hesitated for a moment and then said belatedly: "Your Majesty, to be honest, my concubine's seal was stolen a few days ago!"

"Concubine De, I see you are so smart and alert on weekdays, how could you be so confused! The imperial concubine's seal is such an important thing, how could you lose it!" The queen's eyebrows were full of worry, and she added: "Even if my sister has lost the imperial concubine's seal, she should tell her

The Emperor and I are the ones!"

"I made a mistake. I just want to find it on my own first. If I really can't find it, I will report it to the Queen." Concubine De lowered her head and clenched her fists in her big orange sleeves.

"Zhou Yunfu, bring up the servants from Ruide Palace and strictly inspect all the guards who inspected the Imperial Garden last night. Search Ruide Palace and look for the imperial concubine's seal." Han Qilu glanced at Concubine De coldly, then turned to look at Concubine De on the side.

Zhou Yunfu said.

Afterwards, several other maids and servants around De Concubine were brought into Fengyi Palace. As soon as they entered the door, they saw De Concubine kneeling on the ground, all looking nervous.

"Have you ever seen the imperial concubine's seal?" Han Qilu asked coldly, sitting on the golden seat in the middle.

"Back to the emperor, my concubine's seal has always been collected by me. The slaves will only see it when the concubine takes out the phoenix seal for use." Zuili, who was wearing the same palace uniform as Zuiying, replied, and the other servants agreed one after another.

"Do you know about the loss of Concubine De's imperial seal?"

As soon as the emperor said these words, several people immediately looked at each other with surprise in their eyes and replied: "I don't know."

"Your Majesty, the father-in-law of Zhaoyang Palace, Ren Baiyuan, has asked to see you, saying that he has something important to report to the Emperor!" Xi Qing suddenly walked in from outside and said to the Emperor.

Han Qilu frowned, remained silent for a moment and said, "Xuan."

Su Zimo was stunned when she heard that Concubine Wei's people were here! How could it be such a coincidence! Concubine De's frame-up was obviously set up by Concubine Wei, but she didn't know that Concubine Wei was going to be there at this time.

Add a large piece of firewood to the fire.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Queen! Thousands of years live the Queen! Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you." Ren Baiyuan's movements were extremely respectful, with a hint of asking for credit in his eyebrows.

"Say." Han Qilu said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the little gold that poisoned Concubine Hao yesterday was caught by a servant!" Ren Baiyuan said this with great joy.

"Oh?" Han Qilu lowered his eyes for a moment and said, "Hand him over to the Criminal Department for interrogation."

When Ren Baiyuan heard this, he hesitated slightly and said: "Your Majesty, that little Jinzi said that it was Hao Bin who was sent by Concubine De to poison her. Hao Bin said before she died... said..."

"What did you say?" Han Qilu frowned and said loudly.

"Hao Bin knew that Xiao Jinzi was sent by Concubine De, and was very angry, so she told the scandal about Concubine De, saying that Concubine De was colluding with her father, General Shang, to secretly buy and sell officials..." Ren Baiyuan said no more at this point.

Yan waited for the emperor to speak.

Han Qilu's face suddenly turned black, and his voice was cold and bone-chilling: "Bring that slave up!"

Su Zimo knew that the emperor was very strict in governing the country. He resented those who were corrupt, bending the law, and engaging in buying and selling officials. He also hated those in the harem for colluding with the former dynasty. If such a serious crime was really committed against Concubine De, Concubine De's family would be punished.

But seeing Concubine De being framed by Concubine Wei, she could do nothing to help her!

As soon as Xiao Jinzi entered Fengyi Palace, he trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowing continuously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was the slaves who were ordered to do it by Concubine De! The slaves were forced!"

"You are Rong Xiuyi's slave. How could Concubine De instruct you to do such a dangerous thing?" Han Qilu asked with raised eyebrows.

"Back to the emperor, it was because the slave was caught by Concubine De after stealing things from Red Palace. Concubine De was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious after her slave was discovered, so she threatened the slave with that matter. If the slave didn't help,

When the empress does something, the empress will tell the slave about the theft, so that the slave will die badly!" Xiao Jinzi said tremblingly.

Su Zimo stared at Xiao Jinzi closely. When he met this slave last night, the way he fought with her was completely different from the way he is now. Where is the timid, timid person like a mouse now? Su Zimo could already conclude that this

Xiao Jinzi was sent by Concubine Wei to kill Concubine Hao and frame Concubine De!

"Your Majesty, I have only met this slave a few times. I have never spoken to him at all, and I have never seen him steal! He is lying!" Concubine De said hurriedly. There were both witnesses and physical evidence. The numerous accusations made it difficult for Concubine De to deal with.
