Chapter 17

The rhyme of the copper spring is crisp and cold, and the new sound moves slowly.The eyes are darkly hooked, and the glances are eager to flow.

Rain clouds are deeply embroidered households, and they are harmonious and sincere when they come.After the banquet, it becomes empty again, and the soul is fascinated by the spring dream.

Check out what's written here!Wan Chengxiao crumpled the flower paper and threw it down.After thinking about it, he quickly picked it up, lit it and burned it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

She took a deep breath, and decided not to rely on those irrelevant guards and eunuchs and maids, but to do it herself.

At noon on the sixth day, when most of the court ladies and eunuchs went to have lunch, the defense in the middle palace was only reduced by half.During the transition between the two inspection teams, a pair of black cloth boots landed firmly on the door of Wan Chengxiao's bedroom.The visitor took out the flower paper in his arms, bent down and put it respectfully at the door, then stood up and was about to leave, when the door of the room suddenly opened.

Wan Chengxiao sat on the imperial concubine chair facing him, looking at him coldly.

The visitor didn't feel flustered, and generously clasped his fists at Wan Qixiao: "Empress Empress."

Wan Chengxiao looked at him with an ordinary face, and at first glance he was the kind who could never be found in the crowd, but his expression was calm and courteous, and he couldn't help but look at this person differently in his heart, knowing that this person's background must not be simple. "Who are you? Who ordered you to tease Yu Bengong? What is your intention?"

In the distance came the voice of the next patrolling maid.The visitor flew up to the eaves with a "swish" and left a sentence: "My master has an explanation. If you want to know, you can meet at the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden at midnight tonight."

"The Octagonal Pavilion in the Imperial Garden at three o'clock tonight?" Wan Qixiao repeated loudly.

The team of palace ladies in the distance approached: "See empress! What can empress tell you?"

"It's okay, let's go down." Wan Chengxiao waved his hand.He quietly held the flower note in his hand.

After dismissing the patrol team of maids, Wan Qixiao glanced at the paper and almost cursed.

Open the window for the autumn moonlight, put out the candles and untie the skirt, smile inside the curtain, and hold the fragrance of orchids.

It's outrageous!It's just obscene poetry!Even the modern Wan Qixiao couldn't accept that someone said such unrestrained words to her.What is the difference between this erotic poem and directly telling her "I want to sleep with you"?If it weren't for such a powerful subordinate, she would definitely think that this master is a silver bug!

Wan Qixiao sneered, the Octagonal Pavilion in the Imperial Garden at midnight, right?Well, she's waiting!

It's night, the moon moves and the flowers and shadows move, and it's suspected that the jade man has come.

In the imperial garden, a graceful figure jumped down from the eaves of the promenade, wearing white clothes, white trousers and white boots ostentatiously, it was undoubtedly Xiang Caobao, the envoy of Chu State. With a "crash", the folding fan opened, and Xiang Caobao walked towards the octagonal pavilion with the steps of a young man who thought he was romantic.

In the octagonal pavilion, the stone table has already prepared wine and dishes, and the woman beside the table is a slim figure, thinly dressed, with a curvy figure, which is charming.She was sitting upright, with her back to Xiang Caobao, and she didn't seem to notice his arrival.

Xiang Caobao smiled, beautiful empress, this prince is here!
Xiang Caobao was so excited that his eyes glowed green, he rushed forward and hugged the beauty from behind, pursing his lips and screaming wildly to kiss his "sweet baby", and fumbled around with his hands.

The woman was obviously taken aback by the sudden appearance of Deng Tuzi, she was stunned for a moment, then struggled and shouted.

As a result, before she could break free from Deng Tuzi's entanglement, the surroundings suddenly lit up, and there were bright torches everywhere.Among the flowers, Qin Xian with a gloomy face came out, followed by the stern-faced Imperial Concubine Yuchi, and the chattering Yan Zhaorong.

"Your Majesty, you have seen it too! This is simply a promiscuous harem! How can such a woman stay in the harem, she must be abolished... Uh? Why are you? Zuo Zhaoyi?" Yan Zhaorong stared like a goldfish like.Even if she was beaten to death, she couldn't imagine that it was the queen who said she wanted a man in the Royal Garden night party, so why did she suddenly become Zuo Zhaoyi, her cousin?

In the octagonal pavilion, Xiang Caobao, the envoy of Chu State, was still hugging Zuo Zhaoyi, who was disheveled.With tears in the corners of Zuo Zhaoyi's still-shocked eyes, he pushed Xiang Caobao away forcefully, pounced on him and knelt in front of Qin Xian, raised his head to look at Qin Xian and Imperial Concubine Yuchi standing in front, and shook his head anxiously: "No Me, not me, not..."

"Yeah, it's definitely not Zuo Zhaoyi..." Yan Zhaorong immediately changed his words.

"Who told me just now that if there is adultery here, you must come and catch it with me?" Qin Xian's usual gloomy look became even more gloomy, and his voice was chilly, colder than the night.Yan Zhaorong immediately shut up.

"Concubine Yuchi, Concubine Yuchi, save me! I was wronged!" Seeing that Qin Xian had no intention of forgiving, Zuo Zhaoyi hurriedly turned to Concubine Yuchi, and hurriedly explained, "I, I received a note in the afternoon, asking I'm here to talk about something!" At tea time today, her personal maid Peiru went to make tea, and when she was sitting at the window watching the sunset, a ball of laughing paper was thrown in and hit her right in the face.Open it, and the small note reads: Assassin of the Yehua Banquet, the Octagonal Pavilion in the Imperial Garden at midnight tonight.She was nervous and guilty, and didn't want to go, but before going to bed at night, she found a note under her pillow: If I can't see you, it's fine to see the emperor.She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and after careful consideration, she decided to check out the other party's words.As a result, this investigation turned into adultery out of nowhere!

"Where is the note?" Royal Concubine Yuchi was worthy of being a veteran in solving cases, and asked the key evidence all at once.

"In..." Zuo Zhaoyi suddenly got stuck.She can't say it!If the note is found, it can indeed prove that she did not have an affair with the envoy of the Chu Kingdom, but it reveals that she colluded with the assassin, and assassinating the emperor is a crime of extermination!
Zuo Zhaoyi slumped to the ground all of a sudden, she finally realized that she had been tricked by others.At this moment, she confessed to having an affair and died alone; she pleaded not guilty, found the note, and her entire Zuo family was buried with her.

The most hateful thing is that until she died, she didn't even know who designed her!
Tears flowed from Zuo Zhaoyi's eyes, and his internal organs were burned with hatred.She hates it!But she had to choose to die wronged!For the sake of the Zuo family, she could only choose to die with a stigma on her back, and let those assassinations disappear into the wind with her death.

"Sinful concubine...plead guilty!" Zuo Zhaoyi prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed. "Please be kind to the emperor and let the concubine go back to the palace to tidy up." At least destroy the note!

"Give the sinful daughter Zuo Chenlan a three-foot white silk, and send her on the road after she packs it up." Qin Xian's face was gloomy, and his voice calmly decided a person's life or death.His dark eyes melted into the night, and no one could see what he was thinking.

"Hold on, Your Majesty! The concubine sees this as strange." Imperial Concubine Yuchi suddenly stopped her. "Zuo Zhaoyi just said that someone wrote a paper contract for her to come here, so, can it be assumed that there is actually another person here deliberately setting up a frame to frame her?"
