Chapter 52
Royal study.

This palace is not as prosperous as the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Jiuzhong Hall, but it is full of scholarly fragrance and royal majesty.

The rosewood furnishings, the bright yellow upholstery with exquisite embroidered patterns, the pillars carved with dragons, and a pot of asparagus bamboo beside the desk, and two eunuchs stand aside, their heads tightened around their necks.

Xuanyuan Zhai's complexion looked very bad, his brows were tightly frowned, his breathing was disordered, and he was very angry.

And on the soft cushion next to him, there was a quiet Xuanyuan Oak, with a calm expression, as motionless as a mountain, looking at his nose and nose with joy.

In fact, only he himself knew, and he was very flustered.

This was the first time he came to the imperial study, so close to this so-called father, he was at a loss, so he couldn't help pinching his palms.

Xuanyuan Zhai hardly looked at Xuanyuan Ranli next to him. He rubbed the center of his brows, thinking of Xuanyuan Ranli's mother and concubine.

Concubine Mei, that stunningly beautiful woman.

This was the woman he loved very much, but it was a pity that Xuanyuan Ranli died of dystocia. He was extremely sad, so he didn't care about the fifth son.

who knows……

Meier, I am sorry to our flesh and blood for making him suffer for so long.

As long as Xuanyuan Di thought of the scar on Xuanyuan Ranli's arm, he would feel pain in his heart, and he hated that poisonous woman Su Jinhui in his heart!

Outside the imperial study room, where the atmosphere was extremely tense and depressing, a voice was finally heard: "All the concubines have arrived, and the emperor has arrived."

Eunuch Mu walked in cautiously and glanced at Xuanyuan Zhai.

"Let them all come in." Xuanyuan Di's face was gloomy, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

Eunuch Mu went out and said to them, "Your Majesty announced."

Su Jinhui was the first to bear the brunt, and walked in in a daze. She suppressed the panic in her heart and tried her best to make her look look the same as usual.

But as soon as he entered, Xuanyuan Zhai roared angrily: "Bitch, kneel down to me!"

Su Jinhui's face turned pale with fright, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, looking at Xuanyuan Zhai in panic.

She was still thinking about how to escape this catastrophe!
The other concubines and princesses also felt insecure and knelt down.

Li Yunqing walked slowly to Xuanyuan Ranli's side, her cold snowy eyes met his panicked ones, her plain hands gently supported his shoulders, and patted him lightly.

Xuanyuan Ranli suddenly calmed down, nodded to Li Yunqing, and told her that he was fine.

The corners of Li Yunqing's lips curled up into a stunning smile, and she turned her head to look at Su Jinhui, with a hint of mockery in her bottomless eyes.

It should not be Xuanyuan Ranli who is panicking today, but Su Jinhui.

Seeing the concubines kneeling on the ground, Xuanyuan Zhai took a deep breath and let it out after a long time, still looking at Su Jinhui gloomyly: "I handed Ranli to you, is this how you treat him? I know, you cover up the sky with one hand in the harem, and you can even kill my emperor's heir!"

Su Jinhui's face was pale, she looked at Xuanyuan Zhai in panic, and denied it categorically: "Your Majesty, this concubine did not harm the emperor's heir, and this concubine treated Ran Li as her own, and absolutely did not treat him harshly!"

"You still want to argue?" Xuanyuan Zhai slapped the desk with a loud slap!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The concubines shouted.

"Call Mammy up." Xuanyuan Zhai said to Mu Gonggong.

Eunuch Mu nodded, and after a while, the trembling old mother was brought in.

As soon as the nanny came in, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, and pressed her forehead to the ground, making a piercing sound: "Your Majesty! It's the servant who treated the Fifth Highness harshly, it's the servant, and the servant bullied him when he saw that the Fifth Highness had no mother. It has nothing to do with the empress." !"

"You lowly servant girl, how can you treat the emperor's heir harshly?!"

Su Jinhui roared angrily, and slapped her across the face!

"Snapped!"

The old nanny slapped her firmly, she gritted her teeth and shouted with a ferocious face: "This servant knows that he is guilty of death, so he can no longer live in this world!"

After finishing speaking, she rushed towards the pillar desperately, wanting to bump her head to death!
Everyone else turned pale with shock, especially Xuanyuan Zhai, this nanny died, but there is no proof of death!

Li Yunqing's snowy eyes froze, and she gestured to the shadow in the dark.

The shadow quickly understood, and a stone popped out from the fingertips, and it hit Mammy's knee precisely!
"Ouch!" There was a sharp pain, and the old mammy screamed, and fell to the ground!

"Catch her!" Eunuch Mu immediately said.

Immediately, two guards rushed in from outside and controlled the old mama so that she could no longer seek death!
The old nanny's face was hideously distorted, and her eyes were bloodshot!
Su Jinhui gave her a cold look.

Despair flashed in the eyes of the old nanny, without even thinking about it, she stuck out her tongue and bit down!

Before the guards could react, the old mama had already spit blood, rolled her eyes, twitched all over, and fell limply, resting on the guard's hands.

A large pool of blood spurted out, staining the bright yellow carpet underground!

"Ahh-!"

Some timid concubines have already turned pale with fright!
Li Yunqing's fingers moved slightly, her small face was covered with a layer of frost, and her snowy eyes were extremely cold!
hateful.

I didn't expect Su Jinhui to let the old mother commit suicide so quickly, and now there is no proof of death!
Xuanyuan Zhai's eyes flashed a trace of killing, he glanced at Su Jinhui coldly, and said to the guard: "Hurry up and drag her out!"

"Yes Yes."

The guards are suffering too, they also want to drag down such a bloody corpse as soon as possible!
There was a strong smell of blood in the imperial study.

Su Jinhui raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and looked at Xuanyuan Zhai with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter, it's all done by this old woman."

Xuanyuan Zhai looked at Su Jinhui coldly, and slowly clenched his fingers, full of anger.

As an emperor, how could he be ignorant of some dirty things in the harem? How could a servant, without the benefit of his master, commit the crime of beheading the emperor's heir?

But now that there are no witnesses, what else can he say?
Just when Xuanyuan Zhai didn't know what to do, he saw Yu Jinzhi standing up with a terrified face, kneeling on the ground tremblingly, with pear blossoms on his face: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty!"

Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly, suddenly thought of something.

That's right, it was all the harem concubines and palace servants who allowed Su Jinhui to be domineering in the palace and bullied Xuanyuan Ranli.

If one of them stood up and confessed to the crime, Su Jinhui would not be able to escape the guilt!
So what if the mastermind doesn't fall on her head?
She is still bleeding profusely!

Xuanyuan Zhai narrowed his eyes, although he didn't want to pay attention to this crying woman, but seeing that she looked so similar to his dead wife, he still said, "Say it."

Yu Jinzhi's face turned pale slightly, and tears filled his eyes: "Your Majesty, my concubine often sees people in the palace bullying His Highness Fifth, denying him enough food and clothing, and not allowing him to study, but my concubine dare not intervene." Ah... let the emperor's heir suffer some damage, the concubine is guilty!"

Su Jinhui, who was still complacent just now, suddenly widened her eyes, and cast a vicious glance at Yu Jinzhi.

This troublesome bitch!

Hearing that people often bullied Xuanyuan Ranli, Xuanyuan Zhai narrowed his eyes heavily, and asked again: "Why don't you dare to intervene?"

"Because..." Yu Jinzhi glanced at Su Jinhui cautiously. Anyone with a discerning eye would know the reason for her appearance. She lowered her eyes timidly, "Because they said that everyone in the palace is like this, and they told me not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise It will get you into trouble..."

"Sister, are you slandering me by what you said?" Su Jinhui looked at Yu Jinzhi coldly, her eyes almost made Yu Jinzhi Ling Chi.

Yu Jinzhi seemed to be terrified, she took a step back, and kowtowed to Xuanyuan Di desperately: "Your Majesty, this concubine really can't stand the condemnation of conscience, and she doesn't mean to slander the empress..."

"You!" Su Jinhui pointed at Yu Jinzhi with trembling fingers.

At this time, Xia Hanyu also stood up, kneeling softly on the ground: "Your Majesty, my concubine is also guilty, I have seen this concubine before, but my concubine's status is low, I really dare not care..."

Xia Hanyu saw clearly that the emperor wanted to seek justice for His Highness the Fifth Highness, and if this was the case, she would help the emperor.

Seeing that Xia Hanyu, who had always been humble, came out to accuse her, Su Jinhui couldn't help trembling angrily: "You...you...slandered me!"

"Empress, Yu Meiren and Yu Jieyu are just saying that they don't want to take care of it. Why are you so nervous?" Li Yunqing smiled like a flower, and a dark light flashed in her clear snow-like eyes, like a sharp blade, bursting out. Extremely cold and frightening brilliance.

Su Jinhui suddenly realized that under Li Yunqing's gaze, she seemed to have nowhere to hide, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, her face pale, and her heart burst into panic.

Lin Meier, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile smugly, with a look of gloating. This time, Su Jinhui can't escape the guilt, which is really satisfying.

Xuanyuan Zhai was furious, and with a sudden flick of his sleeves, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table spilled all over the floor, and the ink even spilled on the face of the nearest Su Jinhui!
Su Jinhui didn't dare to wipe it, she panicked and argued: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, listen to the concubine's explanation! They say they don't dare to control it, and the concubine has the most rights in the harem. This must be to slander the concubine!"

"You also know that you have great power!" Xuanyuan Di glared at Su Jinhui with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty..." Su Jinhui knelt down on the ground in despair, staring at Xuanyuan Zhai with her eyes wide open, her heart sank.

Brother... brother... why haven't you come yet!
Xuanyuan Zhai covered his heart angrily, gasping for breath, pointing at Su Jinhui: "Pull this poisonous woman down to me, and take her phoenix seal. From now on, I will be confined to Kunning Palace!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Su Jinhui turned pale with shock, and crawled over desperately, trying to grab Xuanyuan Zhai's clothes, "Your Majesty, listen to my concubine!"

But no one listened to her explanation.

Two guards rushed in again, setting up Su Jinhui to drag her down.

Is the queen without the phoenix seal still a queen?

They don't need to treat her politely!
Su Jinhui struggled violently, the gold-plated phoenix crown on her head was scattered and fell to the ground, her hair was messed up, and her long nails were tearing bloodstains on the guard's arm!
"Your Majesty! You can't abolish me, my brother is the prime minister! My brother is the prime minister...!"

Su Jinhui's sharp voice resounded through the entire palace!
