Zhao Xu washed up, put on his clothes, and took Empress Meng and Meiren Liu to Cining Hall.

Tangerine peel is on the road, but she wants to speak but stops.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and didn't let him say anything.

Queen Meng followed Zhao Xu, for some reason, and she always felt a special sense of peace of mind, no longer had the anxiety and panic she had before coming.

However, Meiren Liu had already woken up and bit her lip secretly.

After being warned by Zhao Xu last time, she was very honest, especially since she didn't dare to contact the court officials outside.

Her not contact does not mean that others will be quiet.

Empress Dowager Gao withdrew the curtain and returned to power. Meng Yuan was dead. The court officials outside asked to abolish the queen. The harem was full of human intelligence. It can be seen that Empress Meng's position as the queen was already unstable!

How important is the position of the queen? Just look at Empress Gao!

Queen Mother Xiang wants to be the second, and more of the third!

The relationships in the harem are subtle, complex and changeable, but as a woman, she can feel something that is hard to explain.

Meiren Liu quietly looked at Zhao Xu's side face, feeling a little scared.

Zhao Xu came to Cining Hall. The gate was sealed, but he could not stop Zhao Xu.

When he entered the main hall, he saw a palace maid kneeling on the ground tremblingly. Empress Gao looked ugly, and when Zhao Xu came in, his expression became worse and worse.

Zhao Xu glanced at the palace maid on the ground, then smiled, came to Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "The troubles my grandmother in the early morning have made my grandmother worry."

Yesterday Zhao Hao died, and now this time comes again. How could Empress Dowager Gao be happy? She looked at Zhao Xu with a look of indifferent expression, but her voice became louder: "The official family, Meng is gentle and can hold a polite manners. Not to mention the palace, even the entire Song Dynasty cannot find a second one. Don't be blinded by some people or some things..."

In the words of Empress Dowager Gao, she was obviously dissatisfied.

Zhao Xu was stunned and immediately understood that Empress Dowager Gao was suspicious that he wanted to depose the queen?

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, sat down on the stool beside Empress Dowager Gao, and smiled and said, "I was still sleeping just now, and I don't know what happened."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Xu, looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and said, "It's in Renming Palace."

The palace maid trembled and she fell deeply on the ground.

Zhou He looked at Zhao Xu carefully and lowered his head without saying a word.

Meiren Liu tried her best to hide. She was not stupid and didn't want to be implicated.

Empress Meng stood beside Zhao Xu and looked down at the palace maid. She was very familiar with her. After all, there were not many people in her palace.

Zhao Xu glanced at Empress Meng, turned to the palace maid, and said, "Tell me."

The palace maid trembled even more violently and said quickly: "When I returned to the official family, I accidentally noticed that the Queen was in the room and used witchcraft to harm the official family. I dared not hide it. I came to sue."

Zhao Xu's brows moved, and then a sneer was drawn from the corner of his mouth.

This "witchcraft" is common in all dynasties, especially in the palace, and it appears frequently.

This kind of behavior is equivalent to the rebellion of powerful officials outside the palace, and it is a great crime that is unforgivable!

Empress Meng's expression was calm, without a trace of turmoil.

After the palace maid finished speaking, Chen Pi took a villain and handed it to Zhao Xu. There was paper sticking on it, and it was covered with silver needles.

Zhao Xu held it in his hand, it was very rough, wrapped in a cloth, with a nose and eyes, and the beautiful words "Zhao Xu" were written on the paper on it.

Zhao Xu looked at the paper, looked at the doll over and over again, looked up at the palace maid, and said, "How long has it been?"

The palace maid leaned on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "One injection a day will take at least two months."

Zhao Xu listened, his heart moved slightly and looked at the villain in his hand again.

No one dared to speak in the hall, even Empress Dowager Gao held her breath and concentrated.

Empress Meng’s deposed or not is entirely in Zhao Xu’s thoughts.

Queen Meng didn't explain, her pretty face was quiet, with a hint of coldness.

Zhao Xu felt the depression in the hall and looked at Chenpi.

Tangerine peel understood and walked closer.

Zhao Xu whispered a few words in his ear, and Chen Pi looked excited and whispered: "Yes."

Everyone watched Chenpi leave in a hurry, with different expressions.

However, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly reacted and said, "The government has such a big deal in the palace. You can't hide it from your husband outside. Please ask them to enter the palace."

Zhao Xu glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thoughts turned to his mind. He looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and said with a calm expression: "Come here, please invite four ministers to enter the palace."

"Yes." A yellow door responded and quickly turned around and went out.

When Empress Dowager Gao saw it, she felt relaxed. With foreign ministers involved, it would not be so easy for Zhao Xu to depose the queen.

Zhao Xu looked at the palace maid and said, "I will explain it clearly from beginning to end."

The palace maid lay on the ground, never dared to look up from beginning to end, and said, "Yes. At noon that day, the servants were cleaning the bedroom, but the empress suddenly came back hurriedly and drove the servants and others out. Half an hour later, the servants came back to get things. When they heard a strange sound in the bedroom, they looked over and saw the empress stabbing the villain with a needle, chanting a spell, and talking about grandfather and other things..."

Empress Gao's expression was ugly. She had been in the palace for decades and couldn't hear it. This was obviously a malicious frame-up!

She was most unwilling tolerated such things, and even murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

Queen Meng pursed her lips, her eyes were a little red, and she didn't move. She lowered her head and looked at Zhao Xu in front of her.

Zhao Xu could naturally hear it and said lightly: "It is a big rebellion to sue the master with a slave. No matter whether you sue it, you will not be able to escape the punishment of being killed by a stick."

The palace maid who was lying on the ground trembled, her face was pale, but she gritted her teeth secretly and said, "I am dedicated to the government and I am not afraid of death."

Zhao Xu took the teacup handed over by the yellow gate, looked at the palace maid, laughed, and said, "It is indeed not an ordinary determination to make up your mind to sue the queen."

The palace maid lies on the ground, biting her lips tightly.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and didn't say anything again.

Empress Dowager Gao seemed to be waiting for several husbands outside the palace, and she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

No one else dared to move around, all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe.

The queen used witchcraft to harm the official family. This is a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan. Who dares to talk too much?

Not many, Su Song, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao came. They didn't know what happened in the palace. Seeing this scene, they all secretly concentrated their minds and said, "I have seen the official family and the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Gao listened to the order of the title, her eyelids twitched, and her eyes closed and she didn't move.

Zhao Xu held the teacup and looked at the four people, saying, "The palace maid told the saint to use witchcraft to harm me, and the couple of their husbands will witness it together."

Su Song's expression suddenly changed. He looked at the villain with silver needles beside Zhao Xu, then looked at Empress Meng, then at Empress Gao, with a calm face and no words.

If this matter is true, there will be a major change in the palace!

Zhang Dun's eyes flashed sharply, and he glanced at Meiren Liu, but he didn't say anything.

When Han Zongdao saw that Su Song was silent, he naturally would not speak first.

Cai Bian hesitated and raised his hand and said, "Official family, what evidence is there?"

Zhao Xu looked at the palace maid kneeling in the hall and said, "She is the plaintiff, this puppet is evidence, and there are all personal and physical evidence."

Su Song couldn't help it and said, "Is this the only one in the official family?"

Zhao Xu said: "Isn't these enough?"

Queen Meng pursed her lips gently, and her eyes became redder.

Su Song took a deep breath and said, "The official family is related to the reputation of the Empress, and must not be arbitrary. He also asked the official family to order the eunuch to investigate in detail."

Zhao Xu looked motionless, glanced at a yellow gate not far away and said, "Liang Congzheng, if it were you, how would you investigate?"

This was promoted by Tong Guan and was in charge of the Yeting Bureau.

Liang Congzheng carefully stepped out, bowed and said, "Go back to the official family, this matter is of great importance. On the prudence, the villain will check the people of Renming Palace one by one."

If Liang entered the politics, he was basically heading towards Empress Meng's "crime".

At this time, Chen Pi came in from outside, came behind Zhao Xu, and whispered: "Official family, people are here." As he said that, he handed Zhao Xu two pieces of paper and a booklet.

After Chenpi's words fell, three women walked in outside.

Zhao Xu took the handed over by Chenpi, looked at the three people coming in, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The three women seemed to be shocked by the situation in the hall, and hurriedly lowered their heads and went forward to salute, saying, "I have met the Empress Dowager and the Official Family."

Empress Dowager Gao then opened her eyes, glanced at the three of them, turned to Zhao Xu, and said, "Officials, what's the point of asking them to come?"

The women in Zhao Xu's harem were all chosen by Empress Dowager Gao, and these people were very familiar to Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao is familiar with him, but Zhao Xu is not familiar with him at all. It is because these women will report to Empress Dowager Gao in every detail, including bed affairs! Therefore, they were alienated by Zhao Xu, and there were only three people who have been serving in bed for half a year.

Zhao Xu said casually: "It's also a witness. When everyone comes, let's try."

Zhao Xu said, looking down at the things in his hand.

Chenpi responded and waved his hand immediately. Four yellow doors with sticks came in. They pressed the palace maid kneeling on the ground to the ground, preparing to torture.

The palace maid was shocked and said anxiously: "Everything said by the official, the Empress Dowager, the servant said is true, every sentence is true..."

Empress Dowager Gao frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
