famous eldest daughter

Chapter 21 Instigating words
Gu Yuqing could see it, and the queen could see it too. While Concubine Shu was weeping and crying, the queen seemed to glance at her with contempt.

But at this moment, Concubine Hui, the victim Dong Ce's aunt, who should speak in front of the emperor the most, stood calmly without saying a word.

Even Xiao Yu, who was always a bastard, chose to remain silent under Concubine Hui's look, silently watching Concubine Shu kneel on the ground crying alone.

Suddenly the atmosphere in Yangxin Hall became weird.

No one spoke, Concubine Shu in the silent Hall of Mental Cultivation was crying and suddenly realized this, she shrugged her shoulders, looked up at the emperor, just happened to meet the emperor's eyes on her, and saw the emperor's eyes full of anger and anger. Annoyed, Concubine Shu was so frightened that she dared not speak out.

When she knelt down just now, in order to make the emperor feel distressed, she deliberately knelt harder. She only remembered to cry and didn't pay attention to it. At this moment, she realized that her knee hit the marble floor tiles of Yangxin Hall, which made her gasp in pain. .

But it happened that she took the initiative to kneel down. The emperor didn't say anything and she couldn't get up.

Concubine Shu felt hurt and regretful, and her face turned ugly for a moment. She knelt on the ground and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, wanting to reach out and rub her knees, but when she thought of the emperor's look just now, her heart shrank, and she didn't dare.

Glancing at Concubine Shu, the emperor finally turned his attention to Dong Ce, "Is this the brocade shed that the second prince invited you to leave? When you left the brocade shed, did you only eat the plums that the second prince gave you?" His tone was harsh, and his momentum was like a thousand soldiers. Thousands of horses are pressing down on one's body, making one breathless.

Dong Ce was okay, but Gu Yuhe, who was standing next to Gu Yuqing, was so frightened by the emperor's aura that he shivered twice in a row.

When the emperor asked, Dong Ce's eyes briefly contacted Concubine Hui, and he said firmly: "Yes."

The emperor frowned and stared at Dong Ce for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Duo, "What's going on?"

When he was finally asked, Xiao Duo's brows trembled for a while, then he took a few deep breaths and exhaled quietly, forcing himself to calm down and said: "Father, it is indeed the son who invited Dong Ce to go to the imperial garden for some fresh air. It was quiet inside the brocade shed. The cat ate the porridge given to the eldest daughter of the Gu family by Concubine Hui, and died suddenly. I couldn’t get used to such a scene, and felt very depressed, so I invited Dong Ce, who was closer to me, to go out."

Xiao Duo only said why he invited Dong Ce and didn't mention anything about Mei Zi.

Xiao Duo knew in his heart that he was the one who instigated Xiao Jingyu to poison Concubine Hui. The crimson in Hehuan Hall was simply a shield for the queen to take the opportunity to take the blame for Xiao Jingyu.

If the emperor can be made suspicious of the poisoned porridge incident and conduct a thorough investigation again, the emperor's anger on Dong Ce may be diverted. By then, even if he is found guilty, Xiao Jingyu's poisoning incident will block it. Then, the emperor would scold him angrily at most.

With his mind turning, Xiao Duo tried his best to remain calm and said with a calm face: "My son not only invited Dong Ce, but also asked several other young men from aristocratic families around him, but only Dong Ce felt bored."

When Dong Ce heard what Xiao Duo said, he immediately said: "I'm afraid that His Highness the Second Prince remembered it wrong. At that time, His Highness said that he had something important to talk to me about. It was inconvenient to talk in the brocade shed with so many people, so I agreed. I went out with His Highness, otherwise, the scene at that time was closely related to Concubine Hui, how could I feel bored and leave!"

The emperor originally believed Xiao Duo's words, but now Dong Ce opened his mouth to refute, and the emperor felt that what Dong Ce said was reasonable.

Concubine Hui was his biological aunt, and she always treated him very well. He and Xiao Yu were as close as biological brothers. Seeing Concubine Hui's porridge being poisoned, he was both emotional and rational. You shouldn't have left.

The emperor's eyes fell back on Xiao Duo.

Xiao Duo glanced at the emperor and looked at Dong Ce with confusion on his face, "Why do you say that? It's obvious that you agreed to go out with me because you felt bored. After leaving the brocade shed, you still said that you dared to lay for Concubine Hui. I'm afraid the identity of a poisonous person is not simple, but this kind of thing happens in the palace, so what's the point of checking it over and over again? If we don't just find some palace maid to convict him, the real culprit will naturally not be found."

What Xiao Duo said is very meaningful.

Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Duo calmly. In this situation, it is reasonable for him to try his best to excuse himself, but at the same time, he can still try his best to drag others into the water. He really carried forward his sinister spirit. too!
Xiao Duo is like this at this time. Wait for him for six years. In six years, he will definitely grow into a figure like a tiger and a wolf.

Gu Yuqing felt more and more sad for herself in the previous life. How blind and blind was she, and she couldn't see through him for six years.

The hands in his sleeves clenched into fists. In this life, he would never be able to get what he wished for.

If you want to be an emperor, just dream!Looking past Xiao Duo, Gu Yuqing looked at the queen that Xiao Duo was referring to in his words, and couldn't help but sweat for her.

Xiao Duo's move can be described as insidious. He clearly took advantage of the emperor's dislike of the queen and the emperor's suspicious temperament, and used Dong Ce's mouth to say what he wanted to incite.

Once the emperor became suspicious and investigated the poisoned porridge case, it was not Xiao Duo who offended the queen, but Dong Ce.

Even if the emperor was not suspicious, Dong Ce was still a black record in the queen's mind. Dong Ce was hated by the queen, which meant that Concubine Hui was hated by the queen.

This is one, and the second is to the queen.

The case was traced to Hehuan Palace, but the palace attendant of Hehuan Palace committed suicide, interrupting the trace. The case was handled by the Queen. At this time, if the Queen said one more thing in front of the Emperor, it would be because the Queen was guilty of committing a crime. Not to argue would be the worst. OK

If you don't argue, you have a clear conscience.

Although Gu Yuqing was worried about the queen's situation, she did not intend to help. After all, her target was very clear, Xiao Duo.

Moreover, in the last life, the queen treated her very badly from beginning to end.

However, what surprised Gu Yuqing was that after listening to Xiao Duo's words, the queen's face changed. Everything she wanted to say had already rolled into her throat, but she swallowed it in an instant. Her red lips moved slightly, but in the end there was no word. explain.

The emperor glanced at the queen and saw that she was looking straight and dignified, and her face clearly showed a magnanimous expression that did not care about Xiao Duo. The suspicion that had arisen was suppressed again, and inexplicably, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Duo's words, but if he really suspected that Xiao Jingyu instigated the palace servants to poison Concubine Hui, he really didn't want to think that way.

Who wants to take the initiative to think that the eldest daughter they love is a vicious and vicious person?

"But is it like what he said?" The emperor looked at Dong Ce.

The emperor didn't question the queen but instead asked Dong Ce. Xiao Duo knew that what he had just said hadn't had the desired effect, and the instigation failed, so he couldn't help showing a look of unwillingness on his face.

Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Duo's expression change with cold eyes, the light in his eyes moved slightly, and there was a mocking smile.

It is not terrible that the expected effect is not achieved, but what is terrible is shooting yourself in the foot.
