The Devious First-Daughter

This time when entering the palace, Ning Xueyan accompanied Ao Chenyi to the emperor's study room, there were quite a lot of people in the study room, not only the emperor was there, but also the queen, Concubine Yagui and Concubine Shu were there.

Ning Xueyan went in behind Ao Chenyi, and Ao Chenyi didn't kneel down, so she knelt down to make a big gift, because the hand was always in Ao Chenyi's hand, but fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to care about it, his On the right side are the Queen, Concubine Ya and Concubine Shu.

Ao Chenyi sat down on the left side of the emperor, and Ning Xueyan sat on his lower head, looking at his nose and mouth, looking like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law with her head down.

"Your Majesty, King Yi has already arrived, so please ask King Yi to interrogate us. This matter can't just be delayed like this. If a person dies like this, he must give an explanation to the other people in the palace. .”

Now the matters in the inner palace are mainly about the empress, Concubine Yagui and Concubine Shu, so it is normal for the three of them to come together when something happened this time.

Concubine Yagui's expression didn't look good, her face was slightly pale, but Concubine Shu was very refreshed. What happened in the palace didn't affect her at all, it should be because of things outside the palace and Xiang Wang got involved, that's how Ya Guifei looked like.

Ning Xueyan looked at the crowd calmly, her eyes still lowered, but her ears were always listening.

"Nonsense, how can you leave this matter to King Yi, it's always a matter of the inner palace, and the empress is the main one." The emperor shook his head and directly vetoed it.

"The concubine is the main one? Your majesty, the problem is that I haven't seen Concubine Xia now, so I can't ask about it. The concubine doesn't even know whether the maid came out under the order of Concubine Xia, or not? How to deal with this matter!" The queen showed a bit of aggrieved look on her face, as if she was really helpless.

"That's right, Your Majesty, sister Concubine Xia has not come forward to clarify, but she really can't explain clearly. Now the other sisters in the palace are saying that there is no need to investigate this, because there is no investigation at all!"

Concubine Shu helped a little on the side.

"Your Majesty, no matter who comes to investigate this matter, the Empress and His Royal Highness Yi Wang are fine, but the most important thing is that Sister Concubine Xia can come out, testify, and say a few words so that everyone knows where this maid is going. Go, what do you want to do, this matter can only be investigated, and many people knew about it that day, and they all said that you must be careful when entering the palace from now on."

Concubine Ya Gui also raised her head, frowned, and said worriedly, the three of them unexpectedly spoke in unison, they wanted Concubine Xia to come forward and make it clear, the words were originally nothing, not that she was the murderer, but just to ask However, the mystery of Concubine Xia turned what was originally a trivial matter into something that the entire palace paid attention to.

It made the three women in the palace stand together.

"Your majesty, look at this matter..." This matter finally returned to the queen.

"I'll send people to Concubine Xia's palace in a while and bring Concubine Xia's maid of honor. If you have any questions, just ask her. Regarding Concubine Xia's affairs, as Concubine Xia's All the maids in the palace know that that maid should have been sent out by her, and it would be better to ask Concubine Xia than to ask her."

The emperor frowned, and didn't want to investigate further on such a question, so he just ended the matter.

"Your majesty, but..." The queen wanted to speak, but was interrupted impatiently by the emperor: "This matter, that's it. The queen doesn't need to be too anxious. It's just the murder of a court lady. When a foreign assassin came in, he happened to meet him and killed him, so the palaces should be more careful from now on."

Whether it was the look or the complexion of the emperor, there was a hint that he didn't want the queen to ask further questions.

"Yes, my concubine complies." Although the Queen's face was stiff, she nodded her head. As for Concubine Yagui and Concubine Shu, they lowered their heads at the same time. The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff. It made the empresses in power displeased.

"Your Majesty, this is actually not a difficult matter. Although Concubine Xia doesn't want to see other people, it should be fine if the Empress summons her. Besides, it doesn't matter how much the Emperor loves Concubine Xia. But now that something happened, she has to go to the Empress to see her." Complain in front of you, otherwise the emperor will let the queen convince the public."

Ao Chenyi smiled slightly on the side, and said.

Indeed, it is up to the emperor how he wants to favor Concubine Xia. It is fine for Concubine Xia to not attend any palace banquets if she is unwell, but the problem is that something has happened now, and she must come forward. Even if you don't want to, you have to give the empress some face. Only the empress is always in charge of the sixth palace and the first wife of the middle palace.

What you said is reasonable, and when will things in the palace be a trivial matter, not to mention this kind of assassination, if you can kill a palace lady today, you can kill a concubine or empress tomorrow, maybe you can touch it directly the day after tomorrow The dragon bed, no matter how you look at it, is not a trivial matter, not as insignificant as the emperor meant.

"But Concubine Xia is timid by nature..." The emperor frowned, but this was said by Ao Chenyi, so he had no choice but to continue.

"Emperor brother, so what? Is the emperor afraid that the queen will be unfair to Concubine Xia?" Ao Chenyi looked at the emperor and said lazily.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine will definitely report to the Duke. If the emperor doesn't believe that the concubine is alone, let the concubine and the concubine sit in on the sidelines together." The queen said firmly, this is related to her ranking in the middle palace, is it right? It is not a big issue of justice, and it must not be sloppy.

She has no heirs, and she needs to establish a fair image in front of everyone.

"Wish to be with the empress." Concubine Yagui and Concubine Shu said in unison, they stood on the empress's side unquestionably, not at all fighting openly and secretly in the usual way, not because they stopped fighting, but because they sensed the danger of this Concubine Xia At this time, the emperor actually still protects Concubine Xia, which shows how much Concubine Xia is favored.

If Concubine Xia blows some pillow wind in the emperor's ear, it will cause a big disturbance in the palace.

Both of them have heirs. They didn't care whether Concubine Xia was favored. Anyway, there is a son, so what about a concubine who has no heirs? At most, the emperor cares a little bit. It's only two or three times a month. The reason why people in the palace think that Concubine Xia has always been the favorite concubine is mainly because she has been like this every month since she entered the palace.

It's not about the length of time the emperor has been there, it's because the emperor has been there for so many years. If at a certain stage, there are even a few favorite concubines who far surpassed Concubine Xia, but Concubine Xia has been like this for so many years, then is truly enduring.

These, the queens can bear it, the most unbearable thing now is that the emperor can even say such an assassination for the sake of Concubine Xia, which makes the queens feel dangerous, so next time it will be Xia The concubine wanted to assassinate them, even if the matter failed, the emperor would not punish them.

That's why this meeting will unify the caliber and deal with Concubine Xia first.

"Well, since you all have to ask Concubine Xia directly, I will let Concubine Xia enter the Queen's Palace soon, but there are still fewer people in the Queen's Palace. Concubine Xia is timid and not in good health!" On this matter, the emperor couldn't say anything more, shook his sleeves and said, this matter must be a matter of the inner palace. Originally, this kind of matter didn't need to be told to him, and the queen could decide.

Concubine Xia is timid and in poor health? Ning Xueyan's watery eyes under her long eyelashes moved, she didn't think Concubine Xia was timid, what's so small? What's more, although Concubine Xia speaks softly, she doesn't seem to be in poor health, at least she looks much better than her complexion. The emperor really dotes on her to such an extent, almost for her and the emperor, Concubine Yagui Fight with the three of Concubine Shu!

Inexplicably felt that there seemed to be something wrong, the long eyelashes fluttered twice, I always felt that this was very weird, but I couldn't remember it for a while, the emperor seemed to be so kind to this Concubine Xia, so good that even my own life Don't you care about safety?

Now that the matter has been discussed, the Queen, Concubine Yagui and Concubine Shu also stood up: "The concubine waits to leave!"

"Go down!" The emperor said coldly.

"Princess Yi, why don't you follow me to the palace?" The queen said politely to Ning Xueyan.

"The queen takes care of herself. You still have something to do here. What is Princess Yi doing here?" The emperor's face darkened, and he glanced at her coldly, "The queen doesn't need to worry about Princess Yi's affairs!"

These words actually contained some anger, the empress was baffled, she glanced at the emperor, then at Ao Chenyi who was sitting on the side, met his treacherous, cold and unfathomable eyes, and involuntarily lowered her eyes He didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated respectfully.

The queen still remembers that the concubine who was executed by Ao Chenyi pleaded bitterly to herself and the emperor, and Ao Chenyi ordered someone to beat her in front of the emperor and herself. She saw the twisted smile on the emperor's face , but he couldn't do anything to him, and then he had to say that he fought well and killed well!

For this reason, I also imitate all the concubines, whoever dares to disrespect King Yi will be punished.

Therefore, everyone in the palace, including the queen, is deeply jealous of Ao Chenyi, and no one dares to show off in front of Ao Chenyi. Said that Ao Chenyi was coming over, the reason why he hurriedly rescued him.

"Your Majesty, Yan'er is boring sitting here. She is quiet by nature. Why don't you let her go to Little Jing'an Temple to worship Buddha, and then I will talk to the Emperor about the case in the Xia Mansion." After the queens left, Ao Chen Yi smiled lightly, the emperor didn't want Ning Xueyan to go to the trial with the queens, and he didn't want Ning Xueyan to get mixed up in this matter.

"Okay, come here, take Princess Yi to Little Jing'an Temple." As long as Ning Xueyan doesn't follow the queen, the emperor doesn't think there is anything wrong with going to Little Jing'an Temple. He looked at it and sat quietly on the side, lowering his eyebrows and bowing his head. At first glance, Ning Xueyan seemed to be a law-abiding, self-conscious Ning Xueyan, but she really didn't see any danger.

Or letting her be Princess Yi is more reassuring than Xianyun!

A concubine Yi who is weak like this is much easier to deal with than the ambitious Xianyun.
