Liu Chongrong, who was originally dancing in the center of Weiyang Palace, looked at a loss. It seemed that he did not expect that the clothes he paid a lot of money to have made by an embroiderer would fall apart.

She stopped, at a loss, almost crying with embarrassment and shame, and wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground immediately.

Her maid not far away reacted quickly and immediately picked up the robe on Liu Chongrong's chair and put it on her.

It was just that the good singing and dancing was interrupted by this accident. The girl who was so dazzling in the center of the hall suddenly became so depressed, and others couldn't help but talk about it.

Some of the concubines who were at odds with Liu Chongrong concealed their words and inserted needles into Liu Chongrong's heart with a smile: "Sister Liu, if you want to go up and show yourself, why don't you find someone to get a better dance costume before you come over?

If this happens, you won't be able to show off your face, and it will also be an eyesore to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother sitting at the top also shook her head and disapproved of her casually getting some clothes. Probably because of her gentle personality, she did not blame Liu Chongrong. She just asked: "Who did you get these clothes for?"

? This dress can’t be made well.”

However, out of consideration, the Queen Mother let Liu Chongrong sit back in her seat first.

Liu Chongrong walked back to her seat in despair and sat down. With tears in her eyes and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she cried so hard that she explained with sobs: "The Queen Mother, I spent a lot of money to find someone to take care of my concubines."

My clothes were fine just now."

She paused, raised her head and glanced at some of the concubines watching the excitement around her. She sobbed softly, as if she suddenly remembered something. She pointed at many people next to her and said excitedly: "Yes! I was clearly in front of them just now.

I have seen it! The clothes were still intact at that time! They all saw it!"

Some of the concubines who were close to her hesitated and said: "...Yes, the Queen Mother and the concubines can also testify. Just now in front of Weiyang Palace, many people saw Liu Chongrong's clothes, and they were all intact."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother realized that something was wrong, frowned in thought, and said in an old and powerful voice: "Liu Chongrong, you mean... someone deliberately ruined your clothes?"

"Empress, Empress Dowager... you must make the decision for me!" Liu Chongrong wrapped the robe tightly around himself, as if this way he could deceive himself that the humiliation just now had not happened.

"Empress Dowager, if this were normal times, my concubine would definitely not bother you. But now, this is about my reputation. How can I have the dignity to hang around in this harem?"

Liu Chongrong's miserable and plaintive look could not help but move the Queen Mother. She sighed in her heart. If something like this happened in the harem, she didn't know how long she would be laughed at.

No wonder Liu Chongrong looks like this.

"Don't worry, the Ai family will not let you be wronged." The Queen Mother sighed and raised her hand, and the maid beside her immediately came forward and gently rubbed her temples.

The Queen Mother said softly: "Have you ever given your clothes to anyone else?"

At that time, people who watched the whole farce at the scene subconsciously recalled it, and they all remembered it, and all their eyes fell on Sui Minghuan.

Liu Chongrong had obviously remembered. He looked at Sui Minghuan fiercely, sneered, and gritted his teeth as if he wanted to tear off all her flesh and bones. "It's you! Sui Minghuan, this is my last time.

I gave the clothes to you to look at, and you let me look at you like this?"

"Okay, you will take this opportunity to make me look embarrassed. I just want to give you some experience as a person who has been through it. You'd better do it, ha!"

Sui Minghuan, who was suddenly looked at by many people, became confused and opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start his defense.

But contrary to all expectations, the Queen Mother did not look at Sui Minghuan. Instead, she asked in confusion: "How come you gave Minghuan your clothes?"

Liu Chongrong was startled, a subtle look flashed in his eyes, and then he said unnaturally: "I just thought that since the palace banquet was organized by Sui Zhaoyi, the clothes for dancing at the palace banquet should still be

It would be more appropriate to hand it over to Sui Zhaoyi first."

How could the Queen Mother, who had been crawling around in the harem for decades, still not understand Liu Chongrong's little thoughts? Her eyes fell lightly on Liu Chongrong, with a bit of warning, and her tone of voice was not serious: "Liu Chongrong,

If there is still such a thing, you can handle it yourself."

Liu Chongrong immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Seeing that Liu Chongrong seemed to have calmed down, the Queen Mother said nothing and finally looked at Sui Minghuan.

She frowned and said seriously: "Ming Huan, if you accidentally ruined your clothes, since it is your first offense, the Ai family will not punish you severely. Just tell the truth."

However, Sui Minghuan shook his head, gritted his teeth, and his eyes flashed with a bit of grievance at being slandered. He glanced at Liu Chongrong and said to the Queen Mother: "But the Queen Mother, it was the concubine who held the clothes well in the beginning.

.But later, because I didn’t understand anything, I gave it to someone else.”

Liu Chongrong's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated what she would say.

She asked calmly: "How do I know whether what you said is true or false? Who is the person you are talking about?"

Sui Minghuan quickly glanced at Wei Huai'an, who was sitting next to Jun Zeci, and saw that Wei Huaian was still lazily leaning on the back of the chair and watching the excitement, and then whispered: "It's... the Queen."

"The Queen?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Wei Huaian.

Even the Queen Mother was shocked.

She knew the Queen's personality. Although she was not harmless, she would not take the initiative to cause trouble.

Moreover, Wei Huai'an has been in the palace for so many years. I don't know if he has some luck, but he has always avoided many conspiracies and tricks.

Wei Huai'an, who was sitting on it, no longer looked flustered, but even looked calm and smiling.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her answer, Wei Huai'an raised his eyebrows and admitted very simply: "Yes, that's right, I held it for her."

Seeing her calm and calm look, the Queen Mother was not sure whether she was real or pretending, so she could only ask directly: "Queen, did you tell the Yi family that you did it?"

"Of course not. But I know who did this." Wei Huaian took a sip of the orange tea in his hand, and then continued with a calm expression and a firm tone: "Empress Dowager, please leave it to me. Concubine

It only takes a few questions to find out who it is.”

They didn't realize during their conversation that when Liu Chongrong, who was still crying, saw Wei Huai'an admit it straightforwardly, the expression on her face disappeared and she clenched her fists invisible to others.

This is bad.

How could it be Wei Huaian?

As long as someone else shows up to help Sui Minghuan get clothes, Liu Chongrong has the ability to guarantee that the other person can cooperate with him to complete the rest of the plan.

But this person is Wei Huaian.

Anyone who has been around the harem for a long time knows that the person that the harem cannot afford to offend, apart from the emperor, is their queen, Wei Huai'an.

Although it may be a bit metaphysical to say this, it is a fact.

Since Wei Huaian entered the palace, any plot that tries to involve Wei Huaian will eventually be revealed by Wei Huaian.
