Xun Ying and Zhao Cheng walked out of the dormitory one after the other, and the execution had begun in the courtyard, and the sound of crackling boards was endless, and several old palace ladies screamed the most, begging for mercy while crying and shouting that they were willing to report and expose Concubine Hui's killing of Li Meiren.

Xun Ying immediately asked the guards to stop the execution, and let people record the confessions of these palace people.

In order to protect themselves, the palace people shook out all the things Guo Hui had done before. Especially Guo Xia said the most, from Guo Hui harming Sun's miscarriage to Guo Hui colluding with Li Shanchang to frame the queen, all kinds of crimes were recorded on two large sheets of paper.

Xun Ying carefully collected the testimony, these are all evidence that proves that Guo Hui is innocent of death.

Guo Xia climbed to the feet of Xun Ying and begged bitterly, "Sister Ying, please save the slave and maid." These things were all done by Concubine Hui, and the slave maid once persuaded her, but she couldn't listen to them at all. In order to prove her innocence, she also pointed to Ping'er and said: "In addition to Li Shanchang, this palace maid also helped Concubine Hui contact other ministers, but the slave maid was not involved in this matter, so the slave maid didn't know who she was contacting." ”

Zhao Cheng's expression changed greatly, and he scolded loudly, "Guo Xia, you are going to frame others when you are dying?

"Wait, this matter is very important, and it must be handed over to the emperor or the queen's mother. Xunying stopped the guards from executing and looked at Ping'er. Guo Hui got nothing there, maybe this palace maid could bring unexpected results.

A trace of panic flashed across Ping'er's face, and she quickly lowered her head and said: "The slave maid is the maid who entered the palace with Li Meiren, and after entering the palace, Han Gong asked the slave maid about Li Meiren's situation, and he did not contact anyone else. ”

Guo Xia shouted: "Nonsense! Mrs. Li will meet Li Meiren every time she enters the palace, why do you need to tell me, you must help Concubine Hui contact other ministers, otherwise how can Concubine Hui reuse you?"

"The slave and maid can't explain it, and she is willing to prove her innocence by death. Ping'er smiled sadly and slammed headlong into the nearest rockery.

Everyone was begging for mercy, and no one expected that Ping'er would kill herself. By the time everyone reacted, Ping'er had collapsed on the ground in a languishing state, blood gushing out of her head, and she couldn't survive.

Zhao Chengxin said: No wonder Hu Weiyong asked to keep Ping'er as much as possible, this Ping'er is really loyal to him. Dead or dead, no one knows about their connection with Guo Hui anymore.

Xun Ying twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that he would be able to find out the foreign ministers who were in contact with Guo Hui, but it turned out that the bamboo basket was empty. Thinking that Ma Xiuying still had something to order, she casually pointed to the four palace people and said, "Escort these people to Kunning Palace, so that the queen can ask Concubine Hui about the crimes committed by Concubine Hui in person." ”

These four palace people are Guo Xia, the old palace lady who gave Li Meiren medicine at the beginning, a small prison attendant and a guard of Jingyang Palace. Among them, the little eunuch was to help Ma Xiuying put the witch puppet into the inner hall of the side hall, and the selection of the other three was just a foil to cover the little eunuch leaving Jingyang Palace.

That's right, the witch Gu incident is actually a play directed and acted by Ma Xiuying. When she and Xunying discussed using this method to deal with Guo Hui, Xunying did not agree, how could anyone curse herself.

Ma Xiuying said: "If you believe in these things, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe in them, you will not be spiritual, and I have never believed in these, if there are really ghosts and gods in the world, why are there so many wicked people in the world? Although it is inappropriate to fight violence with violence, it can deter people's hearts as quickly as possible. In the same way, although I use this method to deal with Guo Hui is not bright enough, it is the fastest way to get rid of her, otherwise she will rely on the emperor's favor to cause trouble in the harem, and I don't know how many people will die in her hands. Especially if she dares to touch my son and my closest friend, I will not let her go this time no matter what!"

Ma Xiuying has always laughed at the jealousy of harem women, as long as she doesn't touch her bottom line, she doesn't bother to care.

However, Guo Hui is no longer as simple as being jealous, so many things have happened in the harem almost inseparable from her manipulation, she has harmed countless people, Ma Xiuying has long been unbearable to her, especially when she hit the idea on the prince, the crown princess, Daoyan and Shen Wansan, which made Ma Xiuying angry and decided to hit her backhand.

There is no woman in this world who knows Zhu Yuanzhang better than Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang can tolerate women being jealous, and even regard these behaviors as fun, but he must not tolerate someone who shakes his country and troubles his harem. So Ma Xiuying chose a sensitive political event like witch Gu, she didn't have the patience to toss for a long time like Guo Hui to no avail, if she wanted to move, Guo Hui would never have a place to turn over, and there was no need to pay attention to any fair and honest means to deal with evil people like Guo Hui.

Guo Hui installed Bai Ling as a spy by her side, and she also asked Xun Ying to go to Jingyang Palace to find Neiying. It just so happened that there was a little eunuch who was not reused by Guo Hui complaining to people about how harsh Guo Hui was to the palace people, so Xun Ying promised this little eunuch a heavy profit, and asked him to put the box containing the puppet into the side hall where Li Meiren died while people were not paying attention.

Because of the death of the side hall, the palace people are unlucky, and they rarely go to the side hall, and no one notices that the box is hidden in the side hall for a long time.

The latter things are even more logical, Ma Xiuying has been ill for a long time, Xun Ying spread rumors to make people believe that Ma Xiuying's illness was cursed with witchcraft, and the helpless imperial doctors took the initiative to deepen the credibility of the witchcraft incident in order to shirk their responsibilities, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to thoroughly investigate the harem.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent his most trusted Gongwei Division's pro-army lieutenant to inspect the harem, but he forgot one thing, the earliest predecessor of Gongwei was the Shadow Guard Organization, Ma Xiuying didn't dare to say that he could completely command the people of Gongwei Division, but it was not difficult to find one or two old men of Shadow Guard from among them. The round-faced guard who was responsible for searching Jingyang Palace was an old man of the shadow guard, and when he received Xun Ying's order, he deliberately guided Zhang Normal to go to the side hall for inspection.

Ma Xiuying knew that Zhang Normal and the host of Jiming Temple, who were involved in the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, would definitely use this opportunity to compete for the limelight and consolidate the status of their sect. What these people are best at is chasing after the wind and shadows, exaggerating the theory of ghosts and gods, and they don't need to threaten and lure them, they just need to let them see the opportunity to prosper their sect from this matter, and they will definitely take the initiative to take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss.

The later result was as Ma Xiuying expected, Zhang Normal deliberately exaggerated how he fought hard to defeat the ghost in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and searched for Gu things, and his description was immersive and colorful......

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Concubine Hui, who had been with him for many years, was actually a woman who dealt with ghosts, how could she still sit still, she was disgusted and panicked in her heart, and she didn't bother to ask, so she quickly sent someone to execute this woman.
