At this moment, all the eyes of the whole hall fell on the maid.

The emperor is majestic, pressing down from above.

For these people who have known since entering the palace that the emperor holds life and death in their hands, it is really a powerful deterrent and terror. Everyone could see that her face lost the color quickly, but her palms that were pressed tightly on the ground were tightly clenched, as if she was caught in a huge struggle.

She kowtowed to the ground anxiously: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, there is no one to instigate this servant, but I just saw the second girl Jiang as a mere companion, but after entering the palace, she slandered and instigated the eldest princess to deceive His Highness, and she must be different from other companions in every way." The servants and servants were serving with all their heart, but His Royal Highness the eldest princess came out of her room to say that the servants and servants were not well served, and that the Ministry of Internal Affairs treated them harshly. Then I came up with this frame-up plan. I also ask the Holy One and the Empress Dowager to forgive me..."

"Bang!"

All the decorations on the red sandalwood carved lacquer table were swept to the ground!

Shen Lang is also a person who has experienced court disputes. How can he fail to see that the maid is lying, and suddenly became angry, saying: "Nonsense, at this time, you still have a wicked heart! Wang Xinyi, ask someone to drag her outside the palace gate Ting Zhang, hit her until she tells the truth!"

Wang Xinyi will take orders.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, glanced at the maid below, gently raised her hand, pressed her temple, and sighed faintly.

Wang Xinyi stopped immediately.

Shen Lang also looked at her: "Mother, is there something wrong?"

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Back in the night openly fighting and killing outside the palace gate, can't everyone in the six palaces come to listen to her calls? Are the concubines, palace people and eunuchs still sleeping? It's a headache to think about. Originally, I didn't find out what happened. Who is responsible? Now that such a clue has been found out, it will be a matter of time to follow the clues. Even if you want to interrogate, don't stay at the gate of the palace. It's better to take someone to the Department of Punishment."

When Jiang Xuening heard this sentence, she felt sarcasm: Does this suddenly cause people to fight and kill? Not long ago, the old hag waved her hand back and shouted at others, and wanted to take her down to the court for interrogation, and what she said was the same as Shen Lang. How long has it been since you forgot?

Zhang Zhe frowned slightly, and glanced at the queen mother.

But Shen Lang came to his senses and said: "It's my son's negligence. I forgot my mother's illness to get better. She should rest in peace. Wang Xinyi, instead, throw this court lady to the Punishment Department and tell them not to sleep tonight. Ask me clearly."

"yes."

Wang Xinyi counted Zheng Bao as half a master, he could get into the position of **** in the hands of the supervisor of ceremonies, and he had already become an old fox, with a few folded eyelids, and he looked at the little maid with a bit of pity. Then he waved his hand.

Left and right immediately came up and escorted the maid away.

A ball of cloth was immediately stuffed into his mouth, and he didn't even make a sound when he was dragged out, only staring at a pair of terrified eyes in vain.

Shen Lang looked down at Jiang Xuening, and said: "Jiang Shilang devoted himself to the country and the court in the previous dynasty. Although today's incident happened for a reason, it also caused the second girl Jiang to suffer a lot of grievances. Wang Xinyi, will you kiss me tomorrow?" Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask someone to allocate a reward to ease your heart. When the result of the torture at the Punishment Department is over, you will definitely be given justice."

Jiang Xuening said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

But she had a vague premonition in her heart, this matter ended here, this "justice" probably could not be recovered.

He was escorted to the Punishment Department for interrogation, but the result could not be reached for a while.

The Compassionate Ning Palace is the residence of Empress Dowager Xiao, she wants to rest.

At this moment, one has eunuchs and maids, the other has foreign ministers who have been called into the palace to investigate the case, and the third has companions from Yang Zhizhai. The staff is chaotic, Shen Lang said: "Today's affairs are temporarily closed, everyone should step down."

Everyone then retreated in unison.

The outermost eunuchs and maids retreated first, followed by a group of companions in Yang Zhi Zhai, and finally Chen Ying and Zhang Zhe.

As soon as they left the Compassionate Ning Palace, everyone surrounded Jiang Xuening.

Fang Miao kept patting her chest: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!"

Zhou Baoying admired her eyes: "Sister Ning is too good in the palace!"

Even You Yue couldn't hold back and said, "I really don't want my life..."

Chen Shuyi was cold: "Everyone else is fine, but you are the only one who suffered for no reason. It can be seen that you are not good at being a human being. Otherwise, who would hate you for teasing you like this?"

Yao Rongrong looked at this and that, but didn't dare to speak.

Yao Xi, on the other hand, looked sleepy.

Xiao Shu glanced at her, frowned slightly, and only reminded everyone: "If you have something to say, let's go back to Yangzhizhai, and you can't control your mouth after such a big thing, how do you know that it won't come out of your mouth in the future?" ?”

Everyone fell silent.

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Hearing this, she just raised her head and looked at Xiao Shu one more time.

She has something on her mind.

He had only taken two steps forward, and unexpectedly bumped into Shen Jie and Shen Zhiyi who were hurriedly walking towards the Compassion Ning Palace from outside at this moment.

Shen Zhiyi was a little flustered. Seeing them from a distance, she quickened her pace, walked in front of everyone, and looked at Jiang Xuening: "Is Ningning okay?"

This is obviously heard the news.

Shen Jie also followed behind, looking at Jiang Xuening with some worry: "Is Miss Jiang Er okay?"

The two brothers and sisters spoke almost in unison.

Jiang Xuening originally wanted to say something comforting, but now she didn't know what to say, so she could only reply dryly: "There is no danger, nothing happened, everything is fine."

Only then did Shen Zhiyi heave a sigh of relief.

Shen Jie looked at her eyes with a deep worry, thinking of all the things that happened outside the palace tonight, and remembering Yan Lin's entrustment, he wanted to explain to Jiang Xuening alone, but seeing how many people were looking at him at the moment, he had no choice but to give up.

However, Shen Zhiyi turned to Xiao Shu and asked, "Is Brother Huang there?"

Xiao Shu looked at the hurried looks of his brother and sister, as if they had sneaked out of the palace, and only returned now, she only said: "The Holy One came more than half an hour ago, and he hasn't left yet, it should be here Talk to the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Mercy Ning."

As soon as Shen Zhiyi heard this, she lifted the corner of her skirt and walked quickly to the Palace of Compassion.

Shen Jie sighed heavily, after all, she still didn't speak to Jiang Xuening, and quickly caught up with Shen Zhiyi.

Jiang Xuening looked back, and saw that the two brothers and sisters, one tall and one short, walked along the long palace road, and happened to meet Chen Ying and Zhang Zhe who came out from behind.

The two stopped to greet each other.

Shen Zhiyi and Shen Jie hurriedly returned the gift and left.

Yangzhizhai is located in the south, and its location is closer to the outer court, so Chen Ying and Zhang Zhe went out of the palace in the same direction as the companions read back to Yangzhizhai. A slightly longer road.

Jiang Xuening looked at the road and stood still.

Fang Miao asked strangely, "Miss Jiang Er?"

However, Jiang Xuening was listening to the voice in her heart that was constantly clear and echoing. When it disturbed her heart and caused waves, she suddenly made a decision and said: "If there are no Mrs. Chen and Zhang today, I Jiang Xuening I'm afraid I'm decapitated, I should thank you for your kindness, I'll go and thank you, you go first."

Fang Miao widened her eyes.

Everyone was also shocked.

Yao Xi was even more startled, and suddenly looked up at her!

But Jiang Xuening didn't look at anyone's expressions, and didn't intend to explain anything for herself. After speaking, she turned around and went directly to the road that Chen Ying and Zhang Zhe were going to.

Leave the crowd looking at each other.

Chen and Zhang came out later, they were right behind them, and they didn't walk fast, but she quickly caught up.

The little **** who was holding a lantern to light the way for the two of them at night saw her first.

Then came Chen Ying and Zhang Zhe.

Standing behind the two of them, Jiang Xuening bowed and bowed, then raised her head and said, "Thank you two adults for saving your life. My daughter came here to express her gratitude to Master Zhang."

When Chen Ying heard this, his eyebrows twitched: "Thank you Mr. Zhang, that's nothing to do with me."

He is used to being shrewd.

Having received Xie Wei's reminder before, he knew that the second girl Jiang in front of him had something special about him, and he was going to go paddling, so he was not at all dissatisfied with Jiang Xuening's words, and turned to Jiang Xuening with a smile on his lips. Zhang Zhe said: "Master Zhang stay and talk first, and Mr. Chen goes ahead and waits."

Zhang Zhe was speechless.

However, Chen Ying had already turned around and left with the little eunuch.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening felt very much like her previous life.

It's just that Xie Wei was the one who walked away very sensibly and actively at that time.

Zhang Zhe was dressed in official uniform, with a wide robe and long sleeves, with his hands folded in front of him, looking at her.

It was dark around him, and so was his figure.

Jiang Xuening saw that Chen Ying was gone, so she took a step forward in his direction, unexpectedly, this palace road was seldom traveled by people on weekdays, and a corner of the originally evenly paved stone bricks stuck out of the ground, just tripping over her toes.

How can I react in a hurry?

The body suddenly lost its balance and fell forward.

At this moment, Zhang Zhe heard his heart say to himself, don't provoke her; however, his hand was so naturally against his will, he reached out completely subconsciously, and helped her.

The five fingers with distinct joints are a little calloused because of writing all the year round.

It was strong when he held her arm.

The faint temperature of the palm penetrated through the fabric, as if it could be felt by her skin.

Jiang Xuening almost threw herself into his arms.

The forehead also accidentally knocked against his thin and angular jaw, hard and painful.

Zhang Zhe doesn't use incense, and there is only a very faint scent of saponins in his sleeves.

But she clutched her forehead in a daze, and when she raised her head to meet his pair of black eyes, she felt a strong breath surrounding and infecting her, making her face burn. It took a while for him to react, and he quickly stepped back and stood still, opening a proper distance.

——In her previous life, she acted recklessly. When she first met Zhang Zhe, she always took the opportunity to tease him, wanting to embarrass him; later, she respected and loved him, so she didn't dare to touch him again. In this life, she really didn't want to leave a bad impression on Zhang Zhe, and make him think that she was a frivolous person who flirts with her body and flirts easily.

She was thankful that the little **** took the lantern away, and the light was not good, otherwise she might not be able to hide the embarrassment of blushing at this moment, so she calmed down secretly, and said: "I was distracted today and didn't pay attention to my feet, thank you Mr. Zhang."

A bosom of sweet, soft and fragrant suddenly left.

The gap between Zhang Zhe's five fingers was empty, and a cold wind passed through his fingers. He slowly curled his hands, lowered his palms, and said slowly: "It's all a matter of effort, it's just a job, no need to say thank you."

This is also very familiar.

He really looks the same as his previous life.

But it's not the last life after all.

She hadn't hurt him yet, nor had she hurt him, nor had he been imprisoned, or his widowed mother had died, everything could be a new beginning, and she didn't marry Shen Jie, and she didn't want to be a queen anymore.

Jiang Xuening carefully hid all the secrets deep in her eyes, not letting them slip out quietly, she just looked at his figure and said: "The palace is dangerous and full of tricks, even Chen Shilang's entry into the palace today is just a perfunctory excuse, but Mr. Zhang is willing Finding out the truth and returning Xue Ning's innocence is much better than the world's vegetarians."

Zhang Zhe was silent.

After a long time, he said: "The lower official is just an outsider. The second girl Jiang is in the middle of the situation. Be careful in the future."

To her at this moment, do you also call him "Xiaguan"?

Jiang Xuening felt that this man was really humble.

She said: "That's natural. I will stay in this palace for a while. I'm afraid of dying. How can I let them kill me so easily?"

"..."

Zhang Zhe's fingers hanging by his side quietly clenched.

She is afraid of death and pain.

Then when he was surrounded by the palace at that moment, the former queen standing in front of him must have had such courage to give up his life to change his life?

She was defenseless against him.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhe was afraid that standing here looking at her for too long would shake his original determination, so he lowered his eyes and said, "Miss Jiang Er, it is good to be prepared. It's late at night, and it's not good for the lower officials to stay in the inner palace, so I will take my leave first." .”

Jiang Xuening felt empty in her heart.

But after thinking about it, it was already good to see him, and I shouldn't expect more.

So she bent the corners of her lips and watched him off.

I just didn't think about it, after two steps out, Zhang Zhe paused and stopped.

Jiang Xuening blinked: "Master Zhang?"

Zhang Zhe turned around to look at her, he seemed to be hesitant to ask, but finally he said: "Miss Jiang and Miss Yao accompanied Her Royal Highness to read together, and I heard that there was a dispute over the matter of your majesty. Miss Yao Have you ever thought of all sorts of means for retiring, but you don’t know if it’s true or not?”

"..."

The quarrel between her and Yao Xi and You Yue in Yang Zhi Zhai has been spread, Zhang Zhe knows all about it?

Jiang Xuening was taken aback.

Then I thought, there is indeed no impenetrable wall in the world, and it is not uncommon to spread the word. It's just that Zhang Zhe asked now, should she answer it?

Yao Xi once thought of various methods and even wanted to throw dirty water on people, it was true.

But she had selfish intentions after all, if she told him, it would be like making a small report.

What if it is concealed?

The person who asked her this question in front of her was none other than Zhang Zhe.

After all, Jiang Xuening couldn't lie to him, but she couldn't say the word "it's true" for some reason. Or maybe it was a certain guess and expectation in her heart at that moment that weighed on her, making her heart beat wildly, and she forgot what to say.

Seeing her appearance, Zhang Zhe said, "I see."

Jiang Xuening was taken aback: "But Ms. Yao doesn't think so anymore. If Mr. Zhang has read the letter she replied, he should know. Why do you still ask?"

Zhang Zhe lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Retire."
