Chapter 723 - Admit or Not Recognize
"But the slave maid really saw that palace maid! It was a little dark at that time, although she didn't see her face clearly, but the slave maid remembered her voice, it must be someone from Cuiwei Palace!"
"The slave was behind Cuiwei Palace yesterday, and the princess Niangniang I saw when the sun was about to set in the afternoon, Niangniang was veiled, by the way, the little plum in the imperial study was still passing by, and he also saluted with Niangniang!"
The two of them were a little scrambling, no one would let anyone, it seemed that if they were too late, Concubine De would be able to send them down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Jinyu stood behind, looking at their expressions, and didn't feel that they were lying. So what went wrong?
Concubine Li was always quietly on the side, listening to the words of these two people, and then said softly to Concubine De: "Sister Concubine De, it is better to call the minions of Cuiwei Palace to come over, let this palace maid recognize it, and then find the little plum in the imperial dining room." ”
Concubine De nodded, now it can only be like this.
The little eunuch was still kneeling on the ground, trembling and repeating: "Concubine De Niangniang, the slave is just a raccoon sweeper, and I can't see the master a few times throughout the year, in fact, you asked the princess why she found the slave, and the slave didn't know...... But the mother gave the slave token, you see......"
As he spoke, he took out a small package from his sleeve, and when he opened it, it turned out to be an earring. This earring is simply too easy to recognize, Yuan Jinyu now has obsidian on his ear, and this no earring is made of jade, which looks priceless.
As soon as the palace maid saw this earring, her body trembled suddenly.
Concubine Li's eyes were sharp, and she immediately asked, "What are you shaking?"
"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "The palace maid was pale and a little incoherent.
"Hurry up and tell the truth, do you still want to avenge your master?" Now that Qing Guiren is still lying on the bed, not getting a drop of water, and if he continues like this, it is a different thing to survive tonight.
As if she had made up her mind, the palace maid turned over her body for a long time, and also took out another earring from her purse and handed it to Concubine Li: "Concubine Li, this earring ...... It was the one who saw the slave and the maid who left and fell, and the slave and maid saw that it was good, so they stayed......"
Concubine Li put the two earrings together, and it was indeed a pair. didn't scold the palace maid, Concubine Li said: "Although it is true that you have misbehaved if you don't return other people's things, this time it can be regarded as an unintentional willow." ”
Concubine Li glanced at Yuan Jinyu pointedly, although her face was gentle, but the flickering in the depths of her eyes was the same cold light as Concubine De: "It is precisely because of this earring that you will help your master find the murderer quickly." ”
Seeing that Concubine Li did not embarrass herself, the palace maid's eyes lit up excitedly.
Concubine De's people had already called all the people from Cuiwei Palace, and Concubine Shu was on the side, her face was blue with anger. But she can't say anything, who made Yuan Jinyu not give in to her at all?
You know, yesterday afternoon, she knew in advance that someone was going to frame Yuan Jinyu and deliberately left her in her room, as long as she was willing to stand up and testify for Yuan Jinyu, the little eunuch's remarks would naturally be self-defeating.
He also swore that he had seen Yuan Jinyu, but he really didn't know if he saw a person or a ghost.
The process of the palace maid's identification was very smooth, because after she heard Fan Dai's voice, her eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed at Fan Dai and said quickly: "It's me she came to find!"
Fan Dai was also stunned, but at this moment she had calmed down, and said to the palace maid: "At the time you said, I was serving with Princess Ning, how can I go to see you? ”
The little palace maid obviously didn't believe it: "But I remember that it was this voice! It was you who met me in the first place!" The little palace maid's eyes were red: "You say, why do you want to harm my master!"
Fan Dai was really a little speechless now, looked at Yuan Jinyu, and found that Yuan Jinyu had been standing behind, looking as calm as before.
Xiao Lizi in the imperial dining room also came over quickly, he didn't know what was going on, and he was also interrogated separately, and after the interrogation, someone brought Xiao Lizi over, saying that Xiao Lizi did see Yuan Jinyu at the time and place that the little eunuch said yesterday.
After everything was asked clearly, Concubine De finally turned her head and looked at Yuan Jinyu, her eyes were jealous and mocking: "What else do you have to say now?"
Lin Qingyu didn't expect that this matter would be cleaned up, and it was for Yuan Jinyu. Although she was shocked in her heart how many people Yuan Jinyu had offended in the palace, at this juncture, Concubine Shu was unwilling to help her speak, but she still stood up and said to Concubine De: "Sister Concubine De, there must be some misunderstanding in the concubine's body. Princess Ning had no reason to attack the Qing nobles. ”
Concubine De waved her hand at Lin Qingyu and motioned for her to come to her side. Lin Qingyu walked over, and his hand was affectionately held by Concubine De, Lin Qingyu's body was stunned, and goosebumps rose.
This is the first time that Concubine De has expressed kindness to her after she entered the palace.
Concubine De is many years older than Lin Qingyu, so she said that her son Mu Que is older than Lin Qingyu, so when Concubine De taught Lin Qingyu, it was not like an elder teaching a younger sister, but like an elder teaching a child.
At this moment, Concubine De didn't believe Yuan Jinyu's words now, but what she said to Lin Qingyu was quite soft: "Zhaorong, you don't understand this, some people, on the surface, are bare and beautiful, but in fact, they don't know what to think in their hearts." Why do you say that Princess Ning wants to attack the Qing nobles? This palace actually doesn't know, but this Qing nobles had an accident in your bedroom, and this palace was not the first to suspect you?"
Lin Qingyu showed a shocked look, looked at Yuan Jinyu, and his lips trembled twice: "No...... Princess Ning has always been very good to her concubines......"
"That's what you think is good, but now that the evidence is conclusive, do you really think she's innocent?"
Lin Qingyu was asked by Concubine De like this, so she couldn't speak anymore, glanced at Yuan Jinyu apologetically, and then stood by Concubine De's side.
But Concubine Yuan stood up and said: "Sister Concubine De, this matter, according to the concubine, let's check it again, maybe something really went wrong." ”
Concubine Shu still didn't speak, but she just stared at Yuan Jinyu hard, as if she wanted to see how long she could beg herself.
Finally, Concubine De asked Yuan Jinyu again: "Princess Ning, do you recognize it now?"
Yuan Jinyu raised his head, his gaze calm and distant. Her aunt doubted herself, her maid was framed, and now she is at a loss for words, and even Lin Qingyu, who has always trusted her, stands by Concubine De's side.
Yuan Jinyu seemed to be really about to be abandoned, but she still stood in place so tenaciously and replied to Concubine De's words: "If you want to add to the crime, why do you have no excuse? If the concubine said that she didn't assign Fan Dai to meet this palace maid, and she didn't go to see the eunuch in person, will you believe it?"
"This is no longer a question of whether the palace believes it or not!, but the evidence is already here, if you refuse to admit your guilt, the palace will deal with you!" Concubine De suddenly looked at Yuan Jinyu, and her majestic eyes made several people in the room dare not even come out.
Even though Concubine Li has been with Concubine De for a long time, it is the first time she has seen her so majestic. Shen Guifei was already powerful enough before, right? But that's because the Shen family is one of the four major families, and she is the woman with the highest rank besides the queen. Concubine De's family background is not much worse than Shen Guifei, but she is more low-key than Shen Guifei and has skills.
If the palace talks about the ability of the emperor, Concubine De dares to call it second, and no one dares to call it first.
So now that Concubine De has recognized Yuan Jinyu as the murderer, it means that she believes the evidence from the investigation.
Yuan Jinyu intuitively knew that there were several layers of black hands behind this matter. is like those things that happened in Jiangnan, who would have thought that it would be Mu Ling who has been fueling the troubles behind the scenes?
So who is harming her now? Concubine Li, Concubine Yuan, or, is it Concubine De?
As for Concubine Shu, Yuan Jinyu doesn't overestimate her, can she get along with such a series of schemes? And Yuan Jinyu is now very curious about who this palace maid and eunuch saw before.
If someone disguises themselves as the two of them, it means that people from the rivers and lakes are involved in this matter. The person who can appoint the rivers and lakes must be one of the several princes. But Yuan Jinyu intuitively felt that these princes would not play this kind of scheming trick to fight with women.
So what's going on?
Yuan Jinyu is still neither humble nor arrogant: "But this matter, the concubine really hasn't done it." ”
Concubine De was really angry this time: "Come on, put Princess Ning in the Zongren Mansion for the palace, and when the palace explains this matter to the emperor, it will be strictly tried!"
Concubine De looked at Fan Dai again: "As for this palace maid of Cuiwei Palace, she will be killed directly!"
Yuan Jinyu's pupils tightened suddenly, and he immediately said: "Concubine De Niangniang! This matter has not been investigated clearly, how can you say that killing people kills people? At the beginning, Fan Dai was always with her concubine, and she didn't go out to see anyone!"
Concubine De was unforgiving: "You are obviously lying, why are you still feeling sorry for your dog slave?" Concubine De looked at Concubine Shu: "How did you rule this Cuiwei Palace? If it weren't for the fact that this palace trusted you and felt that you couldn't do anything to harm the concubines of other palaces, you would definitely feel that you deliberately appointed your eldest palace maid to help Princess Ning do things! Now you still want to connive at your daughter-in-law!"
Concubine Shu always looked at Yuan Jinyu again, but Yuan Jinyu just didn't respond to her at all.
Concubine Shu is about to get angry, what the hell is Yuan Jinyu thinking? Isn't she usually very smart? Now she can't even give herself a soft face? As long as she is willing to obey herself, she will definitely be able to help her!
Concubine De saw that Concubine Shu didn't speak, and only cared about making eyes with Yuan Jinyu, she was also a little impatient, and said coldly: "Come on, drag Fan Dai out and kill him!"
Yuan Jinyu took a step forward suddenly: "The people of this palace, who dares to move?"
