The Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui were both startled. Didn't the Empress Dowager stay in Cizao Palace all the time? In the past few days, they heard that she was not feeling well and should not move around. Why did she appear in the Imperial Garden today?

The Empress and Concubine Hui looked at each other and hurriedly stood up to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. The other palace officials also paid their respects in unison when they saw the Queen Mother.

Feng Feixue was also surprised. What surprised her was not that the Queen Mother came here, because she just gave the little eunuch the hairpin in order to go to Cizao Palace to invite the Queen Mother here, but why did he appear here?

?

This him - not Tuoba Tian, ​​but Tuoba Yan, the remaining thirteenth prince from the same concubine as Tuoba Tian.

After Tuoba Yan paid his respects to the Empress and Concubine Hui, his eyes fell on Feng Feixue's pretty little face. He first smiled at Feng Feixue, which seemed very friendly, but when he thought of her behavior that day

With a brave and fierce appearance, his smile instantly collapsed, and he lowered his eyebrows in a hurry, not daring to look directly into Feng Feixue's eyes as dark as a lake.

Although Empress Hui was surprised, she did not forget why she screamed in fear just now. She stretched out her slender jade fingers, trembling slightly, pointed at the nine-day golden hairpin with phoenix dance on the empress's bun, and said angrily: "Phoenix weeps blood.

...Phoenix weeps blood."

Everyone present screamed and uproared again. Even a profound person like the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and shouted: "What's going on? How can the Phoenix Hairpin cry blood?"

The empress was so shocked that she quickly took off the Nine Heavens Hairpin from her bun. When she took a closer look, she saw that the blue crystal stones were dotted into phoenix eyes and she was weeping red tears of blood. This was simply too unlucky and terrifying.

She hurriedly threw the hairpin on the stone ground, and one of the blue crystal gem phoenix eyes on the golden hairpin of Phoenix Dance was knocked off. Inside the empty phoenix eyes were bright red blood and tears, which was quite dazzling and shocking.

The queen with peach eyes and red cheeks, her dark eyes full of anger, pointed at Feng Feixue and said coldly: "Drag this woman who doesn't know whether to live or die out of the house."

Several eunuchs in gray robes took orders and were about to capture Feng Feixue, but Feng Feixue shook her hand away and sneered: "Queen, my daughter is not wrong, you can't treat me without reason."

Sin, the Queen Mother is still here, don’t you want to hear what the Queen Mother has to say?”

The Queen Mother's heart trembled. She could hear the deep meaning of Feng Feixue's words. In this harem, apart from being in charge of the Phoenix Seal, the Queen Mother was also the one who made the decision in the Sixth Palace. Even if

Even without a seal, the weight of what he said was only equal to that of the emperor, and even higher than his own status.

Originally, the Queen Mother didn't like her monopolizing power, but today she gave the order without any scruples in front of the Queen Mother. In other words, she didn't even pay attention to the Queen Mother's appreciation of the fourth young lady of the Lin family. She just said a word.

Wanting to kill this woman with whom the Queen Mother was quite proud must have made the Queen Mother suspicious, thinking that the Queen was targeting her to kill this woman.

What Feng Feixue just said was the finishing touch and successfully provoked the conflict between the Queen and the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was indeed unhappy. She narrowed her sharp eyes slightly and sat on a chair under the pavilion. Looking at the Queen, Concubine Hui and Feng Feixue with different expressions, she slowly asked: "What is going on?

?I want the Aijia to explain it clearly."

Concubine Hui first glanced at the Empress, knowing that the Queen Mother and the Empress were secretly fighting again, so it was most appropriate for her to speak out now.

She said calmly: "The Queen Mother, I originally ordered the treasure house to make this Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Golden Hairpin specifically for the Queen Mother. It took a full half a year, and it is exquisitely crafted and priceless. Today I have an appointment with the Queen Mother.

Playing chess here, I suddenly remembered that the Nine-Sky Golden Hairpin with Phoenix Dance had just been completed. Originally, Qingman, the personal maid next to the Queen, was asked to go to the concubine's hall to retrieve it. Unexpectedly, Qingman met Prime Minister Lin's daughter on the way.

Lin Ruoxi, seeing that she had just left Concubine Xiao Shu's palace and lost her way, was kind enough to guide her."

When Empress Hui said this, she paused deliberately, and saw the palace maid named Qing Man who was leading Feng Feixue's way kneeling on the ground. She said in fear: "Empress Dowager, every word of Empress Hui is true!"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Qingman, please shut up first. The Ai family wants to hear what Concubine Hui has to say."

Concubine Hui knew that her plan was half successful, so she continued: Lin Ruoxi saw the exquisite golden brocade box in Qingman's hand, and asked curiously. When she knew that it was a hairpin given to the Queen, she hurriedly took it from Qingman.

He snatched it from his hand and wanted to send it to the Empress in person to ask for a reward. He also personally put the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Golden Hairpin on the Queen’s head. Unexpectedly, this hairpin would actually make the phoenix cry blood. This hairpin was taken from the treasure room.

It was confirmed that there was nothing wrong when it was taken away, so why did it look like this when it came to the Queen's bun? I think that Lin Ruoxi must have done something to curse the Queen and the entire calendar."

When Feng Feixue heard this, she couldn't help but smile inwardly. This Concubine Hui looked so elegant and noble. She thought she would be somewhat different from the Seventh Prince Tuoba Chen. Unexpectedly, she was also covered in tenderness and warmth.

She looks kind on the outside, but is actually a vicious woman on the inside.

Feng Feixue had to admire this Empress Hui for making this lie so realistic, as if she were the palace maid named Qing Man, and describing what happened between her and Qing Man, and even the conversation, so realistically?

The queen's red lips parted, her eyes were dark, and her eyebrows raised: "Lin Ruoxi, do you have anything else to say?" Then she turned to the Queen Mother and said: "Empress Dowager, I won't bother you to deal with this little matter.

It’s better to leave it to me to judge!”

The Queen Mother directly ignored her eyes, looked at Feng Feixue and said: "The Ai family would like to hear your explanation."

Feng Fei

After being summoned to the palace of the empress, I originally wanted to leave the palace, but unexpectedly I bumped into the Qingman palace maid next to the empress. She was very enthusiastic and said that she would lead the way for the maid. The maid originally felt that something was wrong, but she came and went.

We didn't have much time in the palace, so I was afraid of going in the wrong direction, so I listened to Qingman's words and followed her. Unexpectedly, I brought my daughter to the side of the Empress and Concubine Hui, and inexplicably said that my daughter was holding it in her own hands.

A golden brocade box containing only hairpins? When I walked side by side with her, I didn't see the box at all, so there must be some misunderstanding, and I really was wronged."

Upon hearing this, Empress Hui Fei's face darkened slightly: "Lin Ruoxi, do you mean to say that I and the Empress have wronged you?"

The Queen also narrowed her peach blossom eyes and stared at Feng Feixue coldly, as if a knife was about to pierce her: "Lin Ruoxi, you are slandering me, saying that I conspired with Concubine Hui,

Are we planning to kill you together? You are just a concubine, and I and Concubine Hui will not harm a meaningless woman like you."

Feng Feixue was neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled lightly: "But the Queen and Hui Fei, have you just misunderstood me?" Feng Feixue knew very well in her heart that if she used the word 'framed' to describe what they did to her,

Because it would only make the Empress more angry and bear the grudge on herself. She had no need to confront this big rock head-on, so she used the clever word "misunderstanding" to describe what the Empress and Concubine Hui are doing now.14967626

Of course the Queen could hear her clever words. Yes, she and Concubine Hui had discussed how to deal with this wild girl who was born as a concubine, because she had withdrawn from two marriages, the marriage between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Seventh Prince.

This is the palace, so what they want is the supreme authority, and they cannot be discredited. However, this concubine girl rejected the marriages one by one, making everyone in the harem feel that their son was looked down upon and rejected.

After getting married, she and Concubine Hui were so angry that she was locked in the hall for several days. Isn't she just a wild girl born in a concubine? There is nothing to be proud of.

It happened that she heard someone report that she saw the female official Mu who was beside Concubine Xiao Shu recruiting the fourth lady of the Lin family into the palace, so she and Concubine Hui made a temporary discussion and staged this play.

"If you want to explain that this is a misunderstanding, then how do you explain that this phoenix dancing in the nine heavens golden hairpin will make the phoenix cry blood, which is very unlucky?"

Feng Feixue did not directly answer the Empress's words. Instead, she walked towards the golden hairpin that the Empress had thrown on the ground, leaned over to pick it up, and looked at it carefully.

Tuoba Yan has been standing beside the Queen Mother, listening to the verbal disputes between the Queen, Concubine Hui and Feng Feixue. Although he is just a bystander, he can clearly see that the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui are the same.

Regarding Feng Feixue's conspiracy to harm her.

He also stared at the golden hairpin held in Feng Feixue's slender fingers from a distance, tilting his little head curiously: "Hey, how come the red blood on this hairpin looks like paraffin?"

His words surprised the Queen Mother. She looked at it carefully and couldn't help but nod her head: "It does look like paraffin dripping onto the phoenix's eyes."

The Queen and Concubine Hui looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became a little ugly.

The empress came to the door. Feng Feixue looked back and smiled. She held the Feng Wu Nine Heavens Hairpin in her hand and blocked it with her long sleeves for a moment before taking it out and handing it to the Queen Mother, explaining: "This Feng Wu

The phoenix eyes of the Nine Heaven Hairpin are indeed made of paraffin, which means that the blue crystal stone is dropped on the phoenix eyes using red candle liquid, and then inlaid and solidified to become the phoenix eyes."

The Queen Mother was a little puzzled and asked: "But how do you know that it is indeed made of red paraffin? This treasure house never makes mistakes, let alone such a clumsy gold hairpin."

Feng Feixue smiled slightly and saw two palace maids standing behind the queen, holding a copper pole in their hands. Hanging from the pole was a delicate hollowed-out stove the size of a palm. It was originally used for heating in winter, but today it should be used elsewhere.

Up.

She took the Fengwu Jiutian golden hairpin to the stove and roasted it. The other phoenix eye of the Fengwu Jiutian hairpin, the blue crystal stone eye, oozed red liquid, as ghastly as blood and tears, followed by blue

The crystal stone fell off from Feng Mu, and Feng Feixue quickly caught it with her hands and held it in her palm.

Everyone had different expressions when they saw this scene. The Queen Mother and Tuoba Yan were both sure this time that the red paraffin in the phoenix eyes of this hairpin was indeed inlaid with blue crystal stones.

The empress and Concubine Hui's expressions changed drastically. Their conspiracy was revealed, and they felt their bodies and minds trembling unconsciously.

The Queen Mother sneered and said coldly to the Empress and Concubine Hui behind her: "The Ai family doesn't want to pursue the case any further, but this matter is indeed not Lin Ruoxi's fault. If you are trying to embarrass her, the Ai family will report this matter.

Give it to the Emperor, and let the Emperor administer justice."

The Queen Mother is a sensible person. She knew that the Queen and Concubine Hui must be narrow-minded because her prince was rejected by the fourth lady of the Lin family. For the sake of face, they wanted to punish Lin Ruoxi severely to teach her a lesson, but they all calculated wrongly.

, this Lin Ruoxi is not ordinary smart. If they cannot plan carefully, it is inevitable that they will fall into Lin Ruoxi's hands.

Feng Feixue thanked the Queen Mother with a gentle smile: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for clearing my daughter's grievances and upholding justice!"

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with a sneer and said: "The Ai family is the most honest and impartial person in the harem, so it is the Ai family's duty to uphold justice, Yan'er..." She turned to look at Tuoba Yan and said

: "It's up to you to escort Lin Ruoxi out of the palace, lest anyone wants to plot against her and she is maimed/killed before she leaves the palace!"

Tuoba Yan smiled very delicately and nodded: "Yan'er obeys your order!"

He had delicate features and a delicate smile: "Fourth Miss, come with His Highness!"

Feng Feixue gently brushed her body: "Well, Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince!"

She saw that the faces of the Queen and Concubine Hui were very stiff, and there was an undetectable evil intention in their smiles. She placed the Nine Heavenly Golden Hairpin of Phoenix Dance on the vermilion jade table and sighed softly: "I heard that this Phoenix

The Wujiutian Golden Hairpin is a gift from Concubine Hui to the Empress, but this hairpin is obviously not made for you, the Empress. Look at the tail of this phoenix. It is made of eight feathers. It is very similar to the status of the high-ranking Empress.

No, the Queen is the mother of a country, so how can she wear a phoenix hairpin with eight tails? It should be a phoenix with nine tails... But" she meaningfully saw the white jade phoenix inserted diagonally on the head of Empress Hui.

Regarding the hairpin, I exclaimed: "The phoenixes carved on the white jade phoenix hairpin on the head of Empress Hui Fei are all with nine tails, but the empress has eight tails? This is a bit unreasonable."

After saying that, she walked towards the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Concubine Hui to retreat. Before leaving, she saw the Queen's angry black eyes staring at the silent concubine Hui Concubine, who had lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

After the empress also left the pavilion, she heard the fierce roar of a woman coming from under the pavilion.

"Hui Fei, you are so brave."

"Sister Queen, sister, I really don't have the guts to go beyond the rules as you think, and I don't take you seriously, Sister Queen!"

Feng Feixue had long expected that the Queen would question and hold grudges about Concubine Hui's actions, so she ignored her and followed Tuoba Yan towards the entrance of the palace. 10nlk.

Tuoba Yan's bright black eyes blinked, and he dismissed the maids and eunuchs who were serving him. Then he shouted to Feng Feixue with a smile: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be so smart just now, you don't know

It scared me just now.”

Feng Feixue raised her eyes and glanced at Tuoba Yan, as if joking: "But, why can't I see that you look worried and scared?"
