Chapter 219: Cardamom and Luo
Ying Chunchun said with a smile: "Sister is not afraid, the queen mother has always been a wise person who knows everything, and she will naturally make the palace clear." ”
I can't help but secretly praise in my heart: What a beautiful and well-behaved beauty!
Wu Shanghua listened and reprimanded: "Irrelevant people, shut up for me!" Ying Chunchun immediately lowered his head with a frightened look.
Wu Shanghua said: "Even if the other stolen goods have not been found, Ruan Shuoren's henchmen and maidservants have confessed in full and confessed to it, what else is there to say about the punishment of self-theft!"
I said unhurriedly: "There is only one person for the so-called witness, and there is no one in the Ruan Mansion to corroborate it; the so-called stolen goods are also in the wrong amount, and the possibility of taking advantage of the chaos to get involved in an attempt to plant stolen goods cannot be ruled out." The crown princess really wants me to be convinced, but I'm afraid that I can't be so hasty. ”
Ruan Liangdi said: "Xiaoguan, you are wrong, you don't need evidence to add to the crime." It's just a matter of the crown princess's likes and dislikes!"
Yuan Qian looked up at the faces of Wu Shanghua, Wu Shangxian and Jin Mama, and suddenly said: "All the faults are the fault of the servant, and it has nothing to do with my family Liangdi." ”
Wu Shangxian immediately said: "Yes, this maid is Ruan Liangdi's confidant, and she has committed such a serious crime, does her master not have any responsibility? At least one crime of negligence is inevitable!"
I saw that he no longer insisted on biting the Ruan Mansion to take out the stolen goods, and did not continue to climb Ruan Shilang and General Ruan, and I knew that it was Shicai who said that Ruan Shilang escorted grain and grass for General Huben gradually played a role. At the moment, my heart was relieved.
There is only one Yuan Qian left, which is much easier.
looked at Yuan Qian with a smile and said, "Yuan Qian, have you waited for your family in the inner hall of the Ying Palace today?"
Yuan Qian looked up at me, lowered her head and said affirmatively, "Yes." ”
"What incense is burning in the temple today?"
Yuan Qian's body trembled, and her head lowered even more.
The queen reprimanded: "Say!"
Yuan Qian couldn't, and hesitated: "The maid is not good at incense, I don't know what kind of incense it is." However, Ruan Liangdi has always been elegant, and the incense she uses today smells like Suhexiang and sandalwood. ”
I glanced at Ruan Liangdi and said with a smile: "Yuan Qian, you are very bold, and when you come here, you dare to make a bet." I might as well tell you that the incense burning in Sister Ruan's hall today is cardamom and Luo. Sweet and greasy, where is the kind of sandalwood that is pure-hearted! Even if you don't know the way of incense, you will never smell these two types of incense wrong. ”
Su Su said: "She has never entered Sister Ruan's inner hall at all, so naturally she doesn't know what type of incense it is!"
Ruan Liangdi said: "She has always been just a third-class maid who listens to rumors outside the palace, not my confidant, so naturally she can't enter the inner hall of the Ying Palace to serve." As I said before, I told her to violate the palace rules and steal treasures, but it was also nothing! It's just that she was bribed and wanted to frame me!"
He turned around and kowtowed to the queen and said: "Queen Mother, ask the queen mother to uphold justice for Shuoren! Donggong Liangdi, how can you let people move and frame, and if you want to be wronged, you will be wronged! This matter must not be settled here." ”
Seeing that the queen had bowed slightly, Mama Jin knelt down busily and said, "Wait." Yuan Qian has already said that she is not good at incense, and she has a cold these days, so what if she smells the wrong incense. There are still 20 pieces of this treasure in the East Palace that are still missing! Why is there no problem with other people's furnishings, but only the ones in the Ying Palace have been lost?"
I let out a sullen breath, this Diao slave is really hateful. Turning to the queen, he said: "Queen Mother, in the palace today, the palace officials are all here, and the ministers of the inner province are also here." Why don't you ask her to argue and see if this Yuan Qian, who claims to be serving in the inner temple today, has the smell of cardamom and Luo! At the same time, ask someone to go to the incense burner of the Ying Hall to see what kind of incense the embers of the incense burned, and whether the incense records of the East Palace Jialing Temple today are also cardamom and Luo. ”
The queen bowed her head and called: "Deng Si, you are good at making incense and walking alone in the palace." And according to what Liangyuan said, you will report it after careful argumentation. ”
A female official over half a hundred years old walked out of the seat of the head of the Kunning Palace, the chamberlain, and the female historians, bowed to the palace, and turned her head to lead people to the Ying Palace.
Yuan Qian fell to the ground with a completely collapsed appearance at this time, and said, "The maid is wrong. Please spare your life, please atone for your sins, and ask the princess to save her life!"
Wu Shanghua's eyes flashed, and Mama Jin immediately stepped forward, and she didn't know what to gag Yuan Qian. Yuan Qian was still struggling to herself, her pleading eyes staring straight at Wu Shanghua, and her mouth let out a vague whimpering cry for help.
When Wu Shanghua saw it, he immediately turned his head away and didn't look at her eyes.
Ruan Liangdi was still kneeling in the center of the hall, and began to rub her knees at this time.
The others, fearing to provoke the fire, all bowed their heads and drank their tea, avoiding each other's gaze and tentative scrutiny.
After a cup of tea, Deng Si came back. Lang Sheng said: "Queen Mother, the servant has already checked, and the incense used in the inner hall of the Ying Hall today is indeed cardamom and Luo. She stepped forward and sniffed twice beside Yuan Qian, and said, "There is no cardamom and Luo Zhixiang on this maid. ”
The queen nodded and said, "It's hard work." Give a seat next to the main palace. Deng Si thanked Yili and sat down under the queen half-sideways.
Wu Shanghua sneered: "What kind of cardamom incense, most of them are stained, and they are scattered again at this time." Deng Si can't smell it, and it's normal. ”
I smiled and walked to the queen's seat, "Deng Si, do you have any fragrance on me?"
Deng Si already smiled and said: "What Liangyuan has on her body is Cardamom and Luo." The aftertaste of this incense is rich and unique, and the servant officer does not need to distinguish it vigorously, but can already smell it. ”
I turned around and smiled quietly at Wu Shanghua.
The queen has spoken: "Shuoren, don't you get up yet?"
Ruan Liangdi said: "The grievances of the courtiers and daughters-in-law have been cleared, and the daughter-in-law has seen it after thanking her mother. But this framed person reverses black and white, creates something out of nothing, and disturbs the palace rules. What kind of crime should I be guilty of?" he said and prostrated to the ground, and when he got up, his forehead was already bruised.
The queen was silent.
Mama Jin knelt down and said: "The old slave just remembered that this Yuan Qian had complained to others, Ruan Liangdi was strict, she had a grudge, and she would definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so that she knew that slaves and maids could not be cheap." ”
Wu Shanghua and Wu Shangxian also knelt down in front of the queen's seat, and said: "The two of us were deceived by the traitor and the maid, and we almost blamed the good people, and we should take this as a warning in the future." Don't be angry. ”
What a trick Li Dai Tao stiff, golden cicada shell!
I was about to speak, when a gradual salute came from outside the hall: "Prince Jin'an!"
Sheng Yao is here.
Wearing the prince's bright yellow clothes, wearing a white jade crown, his handsome face was joyful and angry, and he walked in. The queen smiled: "Yao'er is here." It just so happened that something big and small happened in the East Palace today. Do you think it's safer to deal with it?" then ordered Ye Shangyi to briefly explain the matter to Sheng Yao.
Sheng Yao sat down under the queen, and after Ye Shangyi finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes stopped on the Wu Shanghua brothers and sisters. He said in a light tone: "Today's matter, the Lone King heard about it before he came to Kunning Palace. After listening carefully, I realized that it was so exciting. The crown princess has worked hard all day. ”
