"May I ask what Concubine Hui means by this? Neither the slaves and maids are allowed to inspect the palace people, nor the slaves and maids are allowed to leave, and even the slaves and maids are not allowed to report to the queen, is Concubine Hui going to make the decision for the queen?" Xun Ying asked, secretly anxious in her heart, if Guo Hui annihilated the evidence, she would be helpless at that time, even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew that she was embarrassed by Ma Xiuying, at most she would just blame a few words without pain, could she still let the master admit her mistake to the slave?

Guo Hui was more anxious than Xunying, no matter what, she must destroy all the illegal items before Ma Xiuying found out, she ordered the guards to take all the palace people in Jingyang Palace down, wanting to avoid the eyes and ears of Xunying and others and then check whether there were any private items on these people.

Xun Ying was willing to let her purpose succeed, and scolded the guards, "If the palace people commit the crime of stealing, they should be punished by the queen, and no one is allowed to punish them privately, do you want to ignore the existence of the queen?"

The guards hesitated.

Guo Hui roared: "This is Jingyang Palace, you are the servants of Jingyang Palace, dare not listen to the orders of this palace?"

The palace people of Jingyang Palace also knew the seriousness of the matter, and they surrounded Xun Ying and the others one after another, so that those who had hidden their belongings quietly retreated.

Xun Ying was in a hurry, and couldn't think about it anymore, while grabbing a palace maid with a panicked face, and pulled hard. I only heard the screams of the palace maid, many jewels fell out of her arms, the huge Dongzhu rolled around on the ground, and a yellow golden hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Everyone's pupils constricted suddenly, not because the golden hairpin was precious, but because it was a dragon hairpin with a gem, which was an ornament that only the queen could wear, how could it be on a palace maid. Everyone thought of Xun Ying saying that the palace people of Jingyang Palace stole Concubine Hui's valuables, and their eyes suddenly became wrong.

"Cheap maid, when did you steal the queen's hairpin? Come on, beat her to death for me!" Guo Hui took the lead and ordered the guards to quickly take the palace maid down.

Xun Ying knew that she wanted to kill people and kill her mouth, and then blame the palace maid, so she stopped: "Concubine Hui, since she stole the queen's belongings, the queen should deal with it." ”

"The queen's side of the palace has its own explanation, you still don't drag people down? You cheap maid has repeatedly blocked the decision of the palace, and if you dare to commit the next offense, the palace will deal with you together!" Guo Hui's face was about to be hung up, Xunying repeatedly ruined her things, and if necessary, she even killed Xunying together, I don't believe that Ma Xiuying can still ask her to pay for Xunying's life.

Xun Ying still insisted, and a report came from outside: "The concubine has arrived!"

Xun Ying's face was overjoyed, Concubine Cheng Mu came too timely, but Guo Hui's face turned dead in an instant.

The Sun family walked in one by one, "What's wrong with Concubine Hui's sister here?" and angrily scolded the prison attendant, "Let you count the palace and the palace people, why did you make Jingyang Palace like this?"

The warden commander who had been a shrunken turtle hurriedly knelt down, "Qiqi Guifei Niangniang, that's it when the minions come." ”

Xun Ying also knelt down and said: "Ask the noble concubine to be the master, please inform the queen, Concubine Hui is not allowed to leave the palace, and the slave and maid are not allowed to check." ”

Sun asked softly, "Is this the case with Concubine Hui?"

Guo Hui turned his face coldly, turning a blind eye and hearing nothing.

Sun frowned and called a prison attendant to invite Ma Xiuying. She knew that it was not a good thing for Ma Xiuying to suddenly take inventory of the palace, especially when she heard that Xunying and Fushun went straight to Jingyang Palace, probably to deal with Guo Hui. To be honest, she didn't want to get involved, but Xun Ying and the others didn't come out for a long time, so she had to come to Jingyang Palace to see the situation.

In the harem, except for Ma Xiuying, she has the highest status, so she goes anywhere except the queen's bedroom. The guards of Jingyang Palace dared not let Xun Ying and the others out, but they didn't dare not let her in, so this farce fell into her eyes without concealment.

Sun was very smart, she didn't ask Jingyang Palace why this was like this, once she asked, the matter would fall on her. Even if Guo Hui was rude to her, she was not annoyed, and sat down quietly and waited for Ma Xiuying with everyone.

"The queen has arrived!"

The loud communication was like Hong Zhong Da Lu knocking on everyone's heart, everyone knelt down to greet them, even Guo Hui, who was indifferent just now, also knelt down, she dared to ignore Sun, but she didn't dare to ignore Ma Xiuying, countless experiences told her that Ma Xiuying did not move, and a move must be a thunderous means, just like this time, it is obvious that she is planted in Ma Xiuying's hands again, but I don't know how Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang will deal with her.

Ma Xiuying walked in expressionlessly, swept around everyone, and said lightly: "Give Concubine Cheng Mu and Concubine Hui a seat." ”

She didn't say to tell everyone to get up, and everyone had to kneel all the time, even if there was debris in their knees. It seems that she really doesn't like the people of Jingyang Palace.

Guo Hui, who usually supports her palace people, doesn't say a word, she is too busy to take care of herself, how can she be in the mood to care about others.

Ma Xiuying called Xunying, Fushun and the guards to get up and talk back.

Xun Ying can finally raise his eyebrows and go through the matter one by one. Every time she said a word, the commander of the prison hurriedly echoed, he had previously succumbed to Guo Hui's forces and did not dare to speak out, which met Ma Xiuying's attitude suddenly changed.

Ma Xiuying smiled faintly, and asked Guo Hui repeatedly, "This palace thinks that it is a good thing for them to be so messy in Jingyang Palace, it turns out that it has nothing to do with them, isn't that so, Concubine Hui?"

"Yes. In front of everyone's eyes, Guo Hui could only admit this fact.

"Did the people in your palace steal?"

"Yes. ”

"Xun Ying suspects that there are other people who have valuables hidden privately, why don't you check them too, what do you think?"

"Let the queen decide. Guo Hui lowered his head and silently prayed that there would be no more over-the-top ornaments in the arms of these damned palace people.

However, contrary to expectations, almost half of the palace people in Jingren Palace had private items on their bodies, some were gold and silver, some were jewelry, some were small ornaments, and even a pair of gold earrings that Guo Hui had lost earlier were found from a palace maid. When these items were placed on the table one by one, everyone couldn't help but inhale secretly.

Among the large and small items, the bright yellow silk robe, the seal carved with the phoenix, the lifelike nine phoenix hairpins and the previous dragon title bead hairpin are the most eye-catching, these are all items that can only be used by the queen, but they appear in places where they should not appear.

If Guo Hui began to quibble that the dragon title bead hairpin was stolen by the palace maid Ma Xiuying, she couldn't quibble with these things, it was impossible for everyone to go to Ma Xiuying to steal something, and Ma Xiuying herself was at the scene, how could she not tell if she had these things.

"Concubine Hui, are these things yours?" Ma Xiuying sneered, this is only a small part of the over-controlled items that were privately hidden by the palace people, if Guo Hui doesn't destroy the evidence, I'm afraid there will be more over-controlled items.

Guo Hui couldn't quibble, he could only play tricks, "The concubine doesn't remember." ”

"You don't remember, they do. Ma Xiuying sneered, and asked the palace people who searched for things, "Where did these things come from?" Tell the truth, this palace only disposes of you, and if you don't tell the truth, your family will not be guilty!"

Most of the palace people secretly hid their belongings to exchange money to help their families, and when they heard that their families were going to be unlucky, they hurriedly said: "It was Concubine Hui Niangniang who asked the slave to dispose of it, and the slave and maid were reluctant to stay secretly, and the slave and maid did not steal anything......"

"Nonsense, you dog minions dare to slander this palace!" Guo Hui is still struggling to the death, she must not admit that these things are hers, otherwise she will be convicted of the following crimes of arrogating the queen.

However, no one is a fool, and they all know that the palace people are not capable of getting these things, Ma Xiuying asked the prisoners of the palace to draw a charge on the confession one by one, and happily announced: "Give the confession to the emperor, Concubine Hui misbehaved, demoted her rank to a concubine, moved out of Jingyang Palace, moved into the Gujian Palace, and the rest were put in prison and sentenced according to the law." ”

Guo Hui's eyes darkened and he fainted.
