After hearing this, Li Cairen also knew that what she said was out of decency, so she didn't dare to say anything more.But Concubine Xian didn't want to let her go, but continued: "Li Cairen, I would like to advise you that from now on, no matter whether you are in front of people or behind people, you must know how to speak properly, otherwise, not everyone will forgive you." yours."

Li Cairen rolled her eyes, and said reluctantly: "Huixian Concubine, the concubine knows about it, and will pay attention to it in the future."

At this time, the palace people brought a few more dishes.It is a peach blossom plate crisp, and there is a Hangzhou pepper beef tongue.And a bowl of Jiusi soup.Song Qingjin asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to try this soup?"

Concubine Xian nodded.Song Qingjin scooped up a bowl, and just handed it to Concubine Xian, she took two sips when a cat meowed next to her.Concubine Xian was always afraid of dogs, but now seeing a live one, she was so frightened that she even dropped the spoon she was holding.He also stood up from the ground in a panic.Song Qingjin came back to her senses, immediately protected Concubine Xian behind her, raised her eyebrows, and kicked the cat aside.

The others didn't say anything, but Li Cairen screamed first: "Yuan Bao! Yuan Bao, are you okay!"

It turned out that this cat was raised by Li Cairen, and its name was Yuan Bao.Li Cairen left the table in a panic and got up, hugged the dog in her arms, and scolded Song Qing, saying, "What's wrong with you! You hurt my ingot, what should you do? Do you think you are better than mine?" Are ingots still precious?"

Song Qingjin was not afraid of her, and replied coldly: "Then do you think the cat in your arms is more precious than your empress?"

The imperial concubine also hurriedly sat up straight, and just about to speak, Li Cairen spoke again before her: "Okay you! You hurt my dog, and you are still quibbling here, talking nonsense! Look at me... "

Li Cairen actually wanted to reach out and hit her!At this time, the imperial concubine finally stood up and said sharply: "Li Cairen, don't go too far! You are still here in this palace, and you dare to hit someone!"

After hearing this, Li Cairen realized that she had indeed lost her composure.Withdrew his hand resentfully.He lowered his head too.

The noble concubine sat down and saw that Li Cairen had returned to her seat and finished, she couldn't say anything else, so she smiled again and said, "Okay, don't worry about it because of a small Animals have hurt our harmony, sisters and sisters, please continue to eat."

Everyone began to eat in silence.Ladies and gentlemen, after admiring the flowers and eating, it is already past noon.Because the imperial concubine still had to entertain a few empresses for tea, she followed their other servants to rest in the side room, and didn't need to come in for the time being.Song Qingjin went to the side room to rest after asking Concubine Xian.For some reason, besides her, there was only one other maidservant in that room. Concubine Song Qing didn't have a good rest these days, so she fell asleep on the brocade couch.

About an hour later.Song Qingjin just woke up, and Concubine Xian was already planning to leave.Song Qingjin followed her to the door.The imperial concubine smiled and said to everyone: "Sisters, I was in a hurry today and didn't entertain them well. After a few days, the mother country will send good wine. I will entertain you sisters at that time."

Everyone agreed.Song Qingjin watched secretly from the crowd, but she didn't seem to see Li Cairen.She felt a little worried.A bad premonition arose spontaneously. Who knew that after a while, Li Cairen's voice sounded from behind, accompanied by a voice mixed with crying: "Yuanbao! What's wrong with you, Yuanbao!"

Song Qingjin's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Concubine Xian.Concubine Xian also turned her head and looked at her.After a while, Guo saw Li Cairen running over in a hurry.When she arrived in front of the crowd, she surprised them all. She was actually holding a dead cat in her arms, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.Several timid concubines hid behind, only Concubine Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian and Concubine Song Qing stood in place without moving at all.

The imperial concubine frowned and asked, "Li Cairen, what's wrong with you?"

Li Cai said with tears: "Imperial concubine, look, look, my dog ​​was thrown to death! My ingot..."

The imperial concubine asked: "It was fine just now, why did it die all of a sudden? Li Cairen, how did it die?"

Li Cairen cried and said: "I don't know, and I don't know. I just drank tea for a while, and when I went back to look, I saw that Yuanbao had died on the ground!"

Concubine Xian sneered, and said: "Li Cairen, you are making too much of a fuss. It's just a dog. It's okay for you to cry and show up in front of everyone. I advise you to take care of yourself and bury it quickly." , save everyone from worrying."

Li Cai raised her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like concubines, so it's fine if you want to target them. However, this cat was given to me by His Majesty because he was afraid that I would be lonely. If you kill it now, don't you want to kill it?" Humiliate me and then humiliate His Majesty?"

At this time, Xue Baolin, who had been sitting next to Li Cairen at the banquet just now, came out and said: "The imperial concubine, the virtuous concubine, ladies and gentlemen, since this cat is so important to sister Li, it is the one who is here anyway. There are so many people, why not interrogate them one by one to see how many people can't testify against each other after lunch."

Song Qingjin became a little flustered.These words were clearly intended to frame her.Just now, when the master and his wife were drinking tea in the main hall, he was resting in the side room, and there were not many people there at that time, so it was probably planned to frame her.Concubine Xian was obviously aware of this, and stepped forward and said, "Such a trivial matter, are the younger sisters too concerned or too idle? According to this palace, this matter can be resolved as nothing. Why bother?" What about working hard?"

Li Cairen cried and said: "Concubine Xian, what do you mean by this? This cat was given to my concubine by His Majesty. Now it has died for no reason. How do you ask your concubine to explain to Your Majesty?"

Concubine Xian sneered, and said: "Sister, you think too much. It's just a cat. It's just something that His Majesty gave you as a reward. You remember it clearly, but Your Majesty may have forgotten that there is such a thing. It exists. Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to care about these trivial matters?"

Li Cairen also immediately retorted: "Ms. Xianfei said this? Do you think His Majesty is not sincere in treating us? Or is it because this is not in your palace, even if there are other things, you can't doubt it. Did you say that?"

At this time, the expression on the imperial concubine's face also changed significantly.Song Qingjin also realized that if this continues, the concubine Xian may also be implicated.Absolutely not.She whispered: "Your Majesty, don't persuade them, they can do whatever they want, it's just a cat."

The imperial concubine thought about it, and seemed to feel that this matter could not be let go so lightly.He said: "Then please go to the main hall, let's ask and talk about it."

Everyone came to the main hall.At this time, Xue Baolin, who had just made a suggestion, spoke again: "All the masters were drinking tea in the main hall just now, so naturally they don't have time to harm this cat. We should first ask these servants about this matter." .”

At this time, several young maids said that they were with each other.After asking and asking, only one Song Qingjin was resting alone, and no one was with her.At this time, Li Cairen also seized the opportunity, ran up to Song Qingjin, pushed her directly, slapped her across the face, and shouted sharply: "You bitch, you hated my Yuanbao just now, Later, while we were drinking tea, he directly killed it, right? Right?"

Song Qingjin covered her swollen cheeks and said, "I don't have any servants. Just now, when the masters and ladies were drinking tea, I was resting in the side room, and I didn't have time to harm your cat."

Su Yueyun snorted coldly, and said: "Sister, are you too ignorant of propriety? I still don't know who killed this cat, and Song Qingmei is a seventh-rank female official. In terms of position, little sister, you are not much taller than her, why do you hit someone as soon as you stretch out your hand, and you don't even have any rules."

At this time, Xue Zhaoyi, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Yes, Li Cairen, you are too inappropriate."

Li Cairen said: "The imperial concubine, the virtuous concubine, all sisters and sisters, isn't the truth now clearly revealed? She is the only one present and there is no one to testify. Who is she?"

Song Qingjin said: "Li Cairen, do you think that your slave must have killed your cat because there is no one to testify for your slave? Li Cai, are you being too arbitrary when you say this, or are you just I want to intentionally plant this sword thing on the servant, so these things are not important!"

Li Cairen couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "You bitch, how dare you make such sophistry and talk nonsense!"

Seeing that the situation was about to turn around, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The empress is here!"

Everyone stood up.Song Qingjin groaned inwardly, but she still knelt down along with the servants.After a while, the queen walked in slowly, scanned the room, and asked, "What's the matter? A servant came to the palace to pass on the news just now, what happened?"

Li Cairen knelt down, and brought the dead cat in her arms to the Queen's eyes for her to see.The queen turned her eyes away in disgust, and said, "Don't you hurry up and take this dead cat away? Is it still here?"

The servants took the dead cat away.Li Cai told the queen exactly how her cat died.

After listening to Li Cairen's words, the queen asked again: "So who do you doubt now?"
