Chapter 105: A thousand-year-old grandmother

When Wu Zhaoyi heard this, her eyes squinted, and she glared at Song Yun next to her, and Song Yun knelt down and said, "The slave just asked a few words What happened to the little palace maid?" Because when she took the little palace maid out, the little palace maid's mouth was full of white sugar cakes, and her eyes were full of grievances, and the eunuch who took the little palace maid out also looked a little raw, so the slave maid asked more. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

White sugar cake, grievance, this is a novel sentence.

Ying Baolin said disapprerovingly: "What if the little palace maid sings well and rewards her with white sugar cakes?" ”

"Sugar cake?" Although Wu Zhaoyi did not explicitly protect Song Yun, since Song Yun was her person, she naturally would not let Song Yun suffer, "It's funny, people who sing songs are the most taboo to eat sweets, Ying Baolin actually deliberately rewarded her with white sugar cakes, it's really incomprehensible." ”

"Sister Wu Zhaoyi is making too much of a fuss," Ying Baolin raised her willow eyebrows and said, "It's okay to eat a little bit or two, besides, that Ying'er loves to eat, what's wrong with eating two more pieces?" ”

When Zhao Meiren heard this, she immediately covered her veil and said: "Before Ying'er, I was there, but I never ate sweet, how did I get to Ying Baolin, but it was ......." Zhao Meiren left a blank slate and didn't tell the whole story.

Mu Chenghuang saw that the situation was very unfavorable to Ying Baolin, Zhao Meiren and Wu Zhaoyi obviously wanted to force Ying Baolin to a dead end, but I don't know what Ying Baolin thought, he would actually ask the emperor to prove his innocence before, it seems that there should be some hole cards.

At this time, there was a palace maid outside, saying that it was the Imperial Doctor Zhang Mizhang of the Tai Hospital who came to ask for a pulse, Mu Yuanan valued the child in Ying Baolin's womb, so the person who asked for Ying Baolin's pulse was the chief Zhang Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital, Ying Baolin looked around, especially Mu Yuanan's eyes, and ordered: "Let him wait in the side hall first." ”

Mu Yuanan listened to a group of women chattering for a while before, and his ears were almost deaf, so he just waved his hand slightly, and said, "On the night of Ying'er's accident, who were the palace people guarding the door of Xiuying Pavilion?" The people who disciplined Ying'er in the Court Bureau, and the people who selected Ying'er to come over in the Inner Government Bureau, all called me over. ”

After a while, the people Mu Yuanan wanted to summon were all there, but the confessions of these people had no reference value, and the aunt in the court bureau just said that Ying'er was very diligent and sang well, but she went to Xiuying Pavilion later, and she never came back, and the confession of the Inner Government Bureau was similar, but the palace people who guarded the door insisted that they had seen Ying'er walk out of Xiuying Pavilion safely and unscathed.

But in the cold palace, there were very few guards on patrol, and they couldn't find the witness of the person at that time to prove whether Ying'er walked by herself or was taken captive at that time.

Zhao Meiren and Ying Baolin were still accusing each other of prevarication, Mu Yuanan couldn't hear the woman's words like this, he knocked on the corner of the table with the jade wrench on his thumb, and glanced around, but saw that the only one who didn't speak was Mu Chenghuang, Xu pointed at heart and said to Mu Chenghuang: "What does Chenghuang think about this?" ”

Mu Chenghuang was still thinking in his heart, why didn't this eldest princess come yet, she was suddenly named, pondered for a moment, lowered her head and said: "The evidence is insufficient now, judging from the existing circumstances, it really can't be said that Ying'er's death is related to Xiuyingge." ”

Ying Baolin raised her eyebrows when she heard this, Zhao Meiren seemed to be in a hurry, and saw that Mu Yuanan was also listening and nodded: "Indeed, after Ying'er left Xiuying Pavilion, where did she go, and who she saw, no one can prove." ”

Zhao Meiren suddenly raised her eyebrows, and her originally angry face slowly showed a smug and confident smile, she blessed her body slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine understands, as long as you can find a witness to prove Ying'er's whereabouts after leaving Xiuying Pavilion, is it okay?" ”

Mu Yuanan straightened up and didn't answer, Zhao Meiren grinned and said, "Then please ask the concubine to find a witness this morning." ”

While speaking, Zhao Meiren asked Feng Ying to invite a hunchbacked old woman with cloth clothes and shoes, white hair, and a rickety body, she walked staggeringly, as if her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she was also a little trembling when she saw Mu Yuanan, her legs were weak, and before she came to him, she knelt down towards Mu Yuanan, and her hand like an old tree root was on the ground, and she kowtowed to Mu Yuanan three times: "Old slave, old slave has seen the emperor." Fu kowtowed to Wu Zhaoyi, Zhao Meiren and Ying Baolin who were present in the same difficult posture, which was regarded as a salute.

I just saw the youngest fifth princess, a little rusty, and didn't seem to recognize it, until Feng Ying reminded me next to her, saying that this was the fifth princess of Dashun. This old lady kowtowed three times, feeling that she didn't recognize Mu Chenghuang just now, which was quite rude, and kowtowed two more in apology, and wanted to kowtow again, but she was busy being supported by Mu Chenghuang: "The old man can't afford such a big gift." ”

Ying Baolin saw that Zhao Meiren invited such an old and unhelpful old man, and he was a little disdainful at first, but when the old man opened his mouth and said that he was an old palace maid who served in the cold palace all the year round, Ying Baolin's face was a little bad.

"This is Mama Hong, who has been serving Concubine Jing." Zhao Meiren introduced the identity of this old lady, "The ancient well where Ying'er had an accident is the closest to the palace where Concubine Jing lives, Mama, what did you see that afternoon, just say it?" There is the emperor here, there is Wu Zhaoyi Niangniang, and me, no matter what you say, no one will dare to harm you. ”

Seeing this, Ying Baolin just said: "This grandmother is so old, if she is dizzy and misunderstood, or if she has a bad brain and remembers wrongly, how can she count it?" ”

Zhao Meiren smiled: "Mama hasn't started to speak yet, Ying Baolin is starting to worry first." ”

"Do I need to worry?" Ying Baolin looked confident, "Since I sit upright, I don't have to worry." ”

"Don't worry, Mama, just say it." Zhao Meiren's eyes stretched out to exude a cold light as sharp as a blade, but when she looked up, it was the kind of gentleness and tenderness like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Mu Chenghuang saw it, but she felt a chill in her heart, she just thought that Zhao Meiren would play some tricks before, but today she felt more and more that Zhao Meiren was terrifying.

Mama Hong opened her mouth tremblingly and said: "Yesterday afternoon, the concubine felt that the weather was stuffy, and there was no ice in the palace, so she asked the old slave to fetch some well water to cool off, and the old slave felt that the well water in the south had been drying for a day, and it was not very cool, so she took a long detour to an abandoned well to see if it was out of the water. I heard a woman crying and saying something sparing, and the old slave believed in Buddhism and didn't dare to approach, and then I heard a muffled sound, and the woman's voice was gone, only the footsteps of someone leaving. ”

"The old slave also ate the leopard's gall, thinking that since there is a foot, it must not be a ghost, risking death to stretch out his head and take a look, ouch hey, did not scare the old slave to death, there is a six-foot-tall strong man, fierce and vicious, is carrying several arm-square stones to the well, threw several pieces, is to use a bluestone slab, the well mouth to be sealed, the old slave is scared half to death, think about it, it is the big man who pushed the woman into the well, and then destroy the corpse, when I think of this is a matter of human life, the old slave's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, Trembling at the base of the wall for a long time, the man did not come to the old slave, about the evening did not dare to get up and come back, the next day, is to know that there was really a murder case in the well, the old slave was afraid that the man would find trouble with the old slave, has not dared to say, until this morning, Zhao Meiren sent someone to ask one by one, the old slave thought, can not let the girl die in vain, is to muster up the courage to come. ”

Mu Chenghuang listened all the way, this Mama Hong's words were really leaky, and Zhao Meiren asked again: "Mama, do you still remember the appearance of that man?" ”

"Remember, remember, if he were standing in front of me now, I would recognize him at once." Mama Hong swore solemnly, and nodded affirmatively as she spoke, and the hunchbacked flesh and ball on her body also rose and fell.

Zhao Meiren glanced at Mu Yuanan meaningfully, looked at Mu Yuanan and listened slowly, and said, "That grandma may say some of the most obvious characteristics of that man?" Let's help Mama find someone. ”

Ying Baolin had already pinched his sweat at this time, waiting for this Mama Hong to slow down and explain the height, body shape, and face shape of the man clearly one by one, it can be said that this man is a tall eunuch, Ying Baolin feels more and more unsteady in his heart.

Mu Yuanan also listened carefully, and after listening, he leaned over and said: "But even so, there are many eunuchs in this palace who meet this condition, if you want to check them one by one, I am afraid that you will already be startled." ”

"And also," Mama Hong said busily as if she had thought of some particularly key feature, "The old slave remembers that this eunuch has an Adam's apple. ”

"It's a joke, since you're a eunuch, how can you have an Adam's apple?" Ying Baolin smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid Mama remembered it wrong." ”

"Not necessarily," Mu Chenghuang added, "If you enter the palace after the age of sixteen, you will have an Adam's apple." ”

Zhao Meiren nodded and said: "That's fine, there are not many eunuchs who enter the palace after the age of sixteen, as long as you check it from the Inner Servant Province, it will be easy to find out." She glanced at Mu Yuanan affectionately again, "Your Majesty, did you say yes?" ”

Mu Yuanan didn't say anything, but just looked at Ying Baolin, who had been chattering before and now didn't talk much, although Ying Baolin looked calm on his face, but secretly he had already clenched the handkerchief in his hand and was about to crack, Mu Yuanan said to her leisurely: "What are you nervous about?" ”...
