Chapter 285 Pei

Pei Qi was banned and imprisoned for several days. At this time, her diet could not be compared with when she was a talented person, and she was worried about her own situation. In just a few days, she lost a circle of weight. Because she was guilty, she only wore plain clothes, and her face was whiter than the clothes exposed in the middle clothes. The summer was hot and her clothes were thin. It looks like a sense of weakness.

Yuanxiu thought of her elegant demeanor in Penglai Hall when she entered the palace. The admonition of the eldest son under the Cuihua Mountain seemed to ring in her ear again. Her face sank, and she angrily held it down. She passed by Pei's side, sat down at the top, and looked carefully, but she saw that Pei was born beautiful. The bone standing did not damage the appearance. Instead, there was another sad and touching posture, but when he saw that it was not Fengchun but Yuanxiu's eyes, there was a trace of disappointment. Then he knelt down, and his voice also contained a trace of sobs and pleading: "Please beg the A family to be my concubine. It's really wronged!"

It seems that the palace guard also told her the current situation in the palace. At this time, Fengchun and the queen have actually half determined that Pei was the culprit who led to Zheng Mei's misfortune. After all, the bowl of black plum drink with ice was presented by Pei's close maid, but it was not sure whether she was intentional or unintentional.

In addition, Zheng Mei's miscacia is the same as Zhao Fangyi's original miscacia, it would be strange if Zhao Fangyi did not take the opportunity to make a scene. In this case, the queen may be more inclined to Pei's intentional so as to wash herself. Of course, Pei's only way out now is Yuan Xiu, who was ordered to investigate this matter - although she In the past, she had a good relationship with the queen, but the two children of the child are her own nephews. They are related by blood, but they are less likely to be biased than the imperial concubine.

It can also be said that if Yuanxiu doesn't think she has been wronged, then her career as a palace concubine is almost the same.

"You get up and talk first." Yuan Xiu gently brushed his robe sleeves and nodded slightly.

Pei looked at her face when she got up, but saw that Yuan Xiu's expression was calm and she could not see joy or anger. She was also completely bottomless. She stood up and couldn't wait to argue, "A Jia Mingjian, my concubine asked Shanyin to drink the bowl of black plums to Zheng Meiren at that time, because she really saw a lot of sweat. , thinking that Zheng Meiren felt hot, she gave her the black plum drink she had originally drunk, and because she didn't like the Fufang drink that Zheng Meiren originally planned to drink, she asked Shanyin to take another black plum to drink. What Zheng Meiren drank was cooked in the same pot, even if the ice was added, and if the concubine was intentional If you want to harm Zheng Meiren, why do you want to let Shanyin pass? Shanyin served my concubine when she was a girl in the Pei family. What did she do? How could she get out? Although my concubine is stupid, I still understand this truth.

Yuan Xiu listened to her urgent words and said indifferently, "You said that you don't like Zheng Meiren's Fufang drink. Where did that Fufang drink come from?"

"On that day, my concubine invited Zheng Meiren and Cao Cairen and Qin Cairen to get together. Later, Cao Cairen and Qin Cairen were unable to go because of things, so only Zheng Meiren arrived." Pei recalled, "But my concubine ordered me to prepare all the snacks and drinks that the three of them loved. Beauty Zheng was happy to help her drink, which was only known when she entered the palace."

"Zheng's position is a beauty, and you are also a talented person before your position is taken away, one grade lower than her. Moreover, the place of the game was in your place at that time. You are the master and she is a guest. When the drink for you come up, you should first present it to Zheng Meiren." Yuan Xiu glanced at her and said with a smile, "Why does Zheng Meimei still want you to let Fufang drink?"

Pei was stunned and said, "When I went back to A's home, it was like this. Before the game began, there was tea in front of my concubine and Zheng Meiren. Later, I saw Zheng Meiren sweating like pulp, which made people serve frozen drinks. Because of Wumei drinking to quench her thirst, my concubine saw Zheng Meiren's appearance at that time and asked her if she wanted to improve Wumei drinking. Zheng Meiren Yun Then, the concubine made people give up the black plum drink and asked someone to drink another cup.

So, Zheng Meiren's own possibility of a small birth is becoming more and more solid?

Yuan Xiu frowned and said, "Why didn't Cao Cairen and Qin Cairen go that day?"

"Because King Wei ate too much snacks at noon, Cao Cairen suddenly felt uncomfortable when he took His Royal Highness Wei Wang out. Cao Cairen was busy asking the imperial doctor to treat King Wei. Naturally, he could not go to his concubine. Qin Cairen lived close to Cao Cairen and had always been familiar with him, so he also went to help take care of His Royal Highness the King Wei." Pei Shi said sly, "My concubine really doesn't know that Zheng Meiren is pregnant. Otherwise, how dare she bring cold things to the beauty?"

Yuan Xiu frowned: "I heard that you won five games in a row with Zheng Meiren that day, which made Zheng Meiren impetuous because of losing chess?"

"..." Yuan Xiu asked so bluntly, but Pei had no words, but when she saw Yuan Xiu looking directly at herself, she opened her mouth for a long time and whispered, "It's my concubine who is frivolous!"

"Oh?" Yuan Xiu was not satisfied with this vague answer and asked lightly, "What is the frivolous method?"

Pei's swell: "Concubine...Concubine..."

Seeing that she still hesitated, Yuanxiu sneered and said, "Beauty Zheng is the direct girl of the Zheng family. With the voice of the Zheng family, you don't need to ask me to know that she must be involved in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Maybe she is not very smart, but if a beginner in only three or two months can kill her, I don't know. Dao Pei Cairen turned out to be a game genius?

"...I also learned game skills when I was at home!" When Pei saw what she said, she had to admit helplessly, "It's just that the teacher invited at home is not as good as your majesty. After entering the palace, I learned from your majesty a few times. This... chess skills are even more advanced. When I played against Zheng Meiren, my concubine was also forgotten for a moment..."

"I will believe it if you win one or two games, but if you win five games in a row, you will still win the beauty who is above you!" Yuan Xiu shook his head and obviously did not believe her forgetful explanation. He said lightly, "Mr. Pei, you are the lowest among the newcomers, but before you make up with the queen today, you are the most satisfactory, even the beautiful and elegant Wei Huafei! Such a delicate-hearted person can coax the fifth brother of my palace to love you. At the beginning, Zhao Fangyi took you to visit her when she had a miscarriage... Why did she come to Zheng Meiren but her eyes were as naive as if she didn't know anything about the world? Or do you want to say that Zheng Meiren's chess skills are really terrible? Unbearable to the point where you tried your best to make concessions and won five games?

Yuan Xiu pressed step by step, and Pei couldn't help but be speechless.

"No one was found in Wumei's drink, because the imperial doctor had been immersed in the water to be washed." Yuanxiu continued, "I have asked the close maids of honor with Zheng Meiren around you, and they all said that Zheng Meiren began to have a stomachache soon after drinking that cup of black plum drink. Thinking about the origin and position of Zheng Meiren, it is impossible to be a cow drink. I'm afraid that Liulizhan should still be next to the chess game at that time, right? But when the imperial doctor arrived, Liulizhan went into the water... At that time, Zheng Meiren had abdominal pain and heard that the scene was in a mess. Pei's family, you can remember that Chenghui Hall went to ask Cui Fangyi to ask the imperial doctor on her behalf, but she did not forget to let people take down the glass cup and wash it, which was calm.

Yuan Xiu turned his head and thought for a moment, and said leisurely, "Are you calm enough to know that it would happen for a long time?"

After her words, Pei Shi shouted fiercely: "I am wronged!"

"Call injustice, everyone can." Yuanxiu looked directly at her, shook her head, and said leisurely, "But why do I believe you?"

Pei bit her lips, and her face was complex. Yuan Xiu did not urge her. She lowered her eyes and carefully appreciated the exquisite embroidery on the fan in her hand.
