In jingfangzhai, Chen kneels quietly in the main hall. She has been holding this posture for two hours. Behind her is the servant of jingfangzhai. The candle flickers and reflects the pale faces.

Mrs. Wei sat on her head, holding a cup of biruochun and sipping it slowly. The fragrance of tea slowly dispersed from the cup and disappeared into the stagnant air.

With the sound of the tea cup falling, Empress Dowager Wei said in a voice: "still not willing to say?"

"I have told the Empress Dowager what I know. I really don't know what else to say." Chen's eyes drooped and his face was as obedient as ever.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at her silently. For a long time, she suddenly said, "Congyu, how long have you known me?"

Chen thought for a moment and said, "when I first followed the emperor, it was 17 years since Wenjing. It's 26 years since I met the empress dowager, and it's also 26 years since I met her."

Empress Dowager Wei nodded, "how have you been treated by AI Jia in the past 26 years?"

Chen said in a respectful voice: "the Empress Dowager's kindness to her courtiers and concubines is as heavy as a mountain. She has never forgotten all the things she used to care for her courtiers and concubines."

"A good word is in my heart." When she spoke, Empress Dowager Wei's face was covered with a smile that seemed calm and peaceful, but it made Dongmei, who was peeping at her, cold all over, and could not help lowering her head.

"Among all the concubines in the harem, the AI family was the most congenial to you. For many years, they were as close as sisters and never separated from each other. They asked themselves that there was nothing wrong with you, but what happened?" Empress Dowager Wei shook her head with regret. "For so many years, you have been deceiving the mourning family, but you have not been trusted. Now you want to seize the throne of the emperor. Chen Congyu, you really disappoint the mourning family."

Chen's head fell down, and the hairpin ring collided with the ground. There was a clear sound: "when the former Emperor was seriously ill, my concubine was really there to take care of him, but from the beginning to the end, the former Emperor never mentioned the Shenji camp. Moreover, su'er's intelligence was so dull that he couldn't bear the responsibility. How could she give it to him first? I don't know who told the Empress Dowager about this, but he must have a bad heart, and the Empress Dowager should never forget it He was pawned

Zhou Ning said with a sneer, "Princess Chen is really eloquent. Unfortunately, the purple story is so hard to prove. Even if it's a lotus flower, it's useless. I'd like to advise you to tell the truth. Maybe there's still a ray of life."

Chen Shi raised his eyes to look at Zhou Ning and said calmly, "you say that the iron evidence is like a mountain. Where is the evidence?"

Zhou Ning opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. What he said just now was to scare Chen into telling the truth. What evidence is there.

"From jade." Empress Dowager Wei was so cold in her eyes that she said every word: "if you tell me the truth now, I can still remember the friendship of the past. I will forgive you and su'er for not dying, otherwise You are forcing the mourners to do it

Dongmei recognized the meaning of killing in her words. She hurriedly knelt forward and said, "tell the Empress Dowager that when the Empress Dowager was waiting on the former Emperor in Chengde hall, the maidservant was also there. The maidservant can prove it. The former Emperor really didn't mention Shenji camp. Please check it out!"

Empress Dowager Wei didn't pay attention to her. She just looked at Chen's family silently for a long time. A sigh came out from her lips. "She's stubborn. It seems that this painstaking effort of mourning for her family is in vain, let alone Yin Qiu."

Yin Qiu looks a Lin, bow a body way: "maidservant is in."

Empress Dowager Wei collected the last trace of temperature from her eyes and said indifferently, "search jingfangzhai carefully for AI family. Don't miss any of them." She has been with Chengde for nearly 30 years. She can't understand the mind of Chengde any more. The inheritance of Shenji camp means that in Chengde's mind, dongfangsu is the one who should sit in Chengde hall. It's just because of the situation that she has to change to dongfanghui. In this case, Chengde may have left something to restrict their mother and son, such as Send an imperial edict.

She has endured for so many years, and it is not easy for her to possess the supreme honor of today. No one can take it away from her!

In the past, I only thought that she knew how to handle things properly, did not fight for things, and thought carefully that I had never really seen through her. If emperor Cheng really left the imperial edict, it must be in the hands of Chen.

"I will abide by the Empress Dowager's order." Yin qiusu promised and led the seven or eight people brought by ningshou palace to search Jingfang Zhai inside and outside, even the servants' room.

Yin Qiu came in with a gloomy face and said in a low voice, "I haven't found anything from the Empress Dowager."

When she heard this, Dongmei's eyes flitted a little slack. Although it was only for a moment, she was watched by Empress Dowager Wei, who said quietly: "is xiaodezi back?"

Before she came to jingfangzhai, Empress Dowager Wei sent people to Rui palace. Although it's unlikely that things will be in dongfangsu's hands, even if it's only one in ten thousand, you can't let it go.

"Not yet. Time should be fast." Before the words were heard, an internal supervisor saluted at the door. It was xiaodezi, who was just mentioned by Empress Dowager Wei. He went to empress dowager Wei and whispered a few words.

"I see." After waving to xiaodezi to withdraw, Empress Dowager Wei stared at Dongmei for a moment and said in a cool voice, "take her to ningshou palace."

Chen was surprised, even busy way: "empress dowager, Dongmei do not know anything, please do not embarrass her."

Empress Dowager Wei's lips are slightly raised, with fine wrinkles looming on her lips. No matter how to maintain them, they are still in their fifties, no less than when they were young. "As long as she answers truthfully, it will not be difficult for her to grieve."No matter how worried Chen was, she could only watch empress dowager Wei take Dongmei away.

In the boundless night, the skirt brushed on the hot stone slab, occasionally touched the grass nearby, alerted the summer insects hiding in the grass and ran away in a hurry.

Ningshou palace is made of smokeless and tasteless hard candles. Although dozens of candles are lit in the palace, they are as bright as day, but there is no smoke.

After the Empress Dowager Fu Wei took her seat, Yin Qiu went to the red sandalwood and put a spoonful of heavy sandalwood into the incense burner that never died day and night. Soon, wisps of light smoke rose from the elliptical holes on the cover of the incense burner and scattered into the air.

Empress Dowager Wei took the tea from xiaodezi, but she didn't drink it. She just looked down at Dongmei, who knelt on the ground motionless. For a long time, she said, "do you know why the AI family brought you to ningshou palace?"

Dongmei stares at her reflection on the BRICs and says, "I dare not guess the Empress Dowager's holy intention."

"Dare not?" Empress Dowager Wei gave a low smile and said, "you dare to help Chen deceive the family. What else dare you do?"

"Both the imperial concubine and the maidservant respect the Empress Dowager as if they were gods. They dare not deceive her. The Empress Dowager must not be deceived by those villains who are not good at heart."

Empress Dowager Wei helped the white jade double phoenix hairpin on the bun and said with a smile, "who was the one who blinded the mourning family? The mourning family knows very well."
