Chapter 69: The suicide note defeats the queen mother's intention to frame her
69
Xu Shutong was caught on the spot, and immediately held his forehead and pretended to be dizzy, "Yinong, I'm dizzy, I must have frozen in the water just now." β
Xue Yinong stared at her and asked her not to change direction. Xu Shutong kept his eyes open, peeked twice, and saw that Xue Yinong didn't have the slightest intention of letting her go, so he had to say: "Don't stare at it, what's the point of touching it, it's a big deal to touch it back, touch it casually, everyone is the same, really, people are so weak, you can't let others order." β
It's called weakness, and this voice is too neutral.
Seeing that Xue Yinong didn't move, she grabbed her hand and covered it on her chest, "Let you take a big head." Xue Yinong only felt soft and warm, half of his face was red with water, and half of him was shy.
She turned her face and said, "Who wants to touch it, it's really inexplicable, if you are good, hurry up." I asked Cun Xi to call the imperial doctor......" She was talking here, when she heard a 'poof', Xu Shutong fell directly and fell into her arms, thinking: "What's the matter?" Looking back, through the dense water vapor, there was a vague figure, like a falling goose. She said, "Falling geese." β
Luo Yan's face was flushed, where was he willing to come out to meet, and he didn't even dare to answer. What she saw just now, it must be her illusion, this is really an illusion, because the angle is misleading, but Luo Yan didn't dare to ask directly, she just went back to change her clothes, and by the way, she found Xu Shutong and Xue Yinong's clothes, and saw this scene.
Then she thought that something was wrong, how could that kind of thing happen to these two people, she was clearly wrong. Therefore, he said: "Yes, the emperor, it is a slave." The clothes have been brought to you, and Imperial Doctor Lin has been invited to the Splendid Palace, and you can go back at any time. β
Xue Yinong calmed his nerves and said slowly: "I know, if the clothes are there, I will wear them myself." Did you bring it over? If not, I'll have to make a trip. The heat in the water made her a little dizzy, and what made her even more embarrassed was that Xu Shutong fell into her arms, and the clumps of breath were sprayed on her skin, itching, like 10,000 ants scratching their calves.
Xu Shutong's hands were still restless, drawing circles on her legs. She glared at Xu Shutong and asked her not to be weird, Xu Shutong gave her a naughty look back, and her movements never stopped! The opportunity is rare, and whoever misses it is a fool. She doesn't want to do anything too much now, she is afraid that Xue Yinong will be frightened, but she doesn't mind charging a little interest, and the little emperor is very fun.
Luo Yan said: "I also brought it over, and I put it with you." The slave and maid went to the door first, and guarded it. "Although I still want to see more clearly, it's just that what is it, Luo Yan went to the door to replace his father-in-law's class, and there is a group of henchmen, and there is also a guard outside the Royal Forest Army.
Knowing that Luoyan was going away, Xue Yinong said: "If you don't get up yet, when will you have to rely on it?" β
"Is it good for a lifetime?"
"Then we will wait until you are well." She looked serious, Xu Shutong was in love, and after standing up, she held Xue Yinong's face and kissed her fiercely, so that she asked Xue Yinong to help her.
"My leg is weak, maybe I was frozen just now."
Xue Yi said in his heart: "Ghost letter." Still picked up the person, went to the edge of the pool, wiped it with a dry cloth, and then put on the clothes, Xu Shutong naturally took the opportunity to play tricks again, and asked Xue Yinong to put them on one by one, wrapped up with a silkworm baby, revealing a cheek that was pink by the hot spring water. After the two of them dressed, Xu Shutong still looked like 'I'm so strict', and after Xue Yinong took the person out, he got on the sedan chair, feeling that the whole person was weak.
Luo Yan also followed on the sedan chair and told Xue Yinong what he heard from Ren's father-in-law. "Your Majesty, since you left, another corpse has been salvaged in Quchi, it seems to be Mama Mei from the queen's side, the queen mother ordered to wait for you to try the case, after all, it happened in the palace, and it involved the queen's side......"
Xue Yinong said: "Got it." Without further ado, she closed her eyes and sorted out all kinds of thoughts in her heart, from Xu Shutong's falling into the water to Mama Mei's death, whether there would be any connection between them.
The three of them returned to the Splendid Palace.
Cun Xi has been waiting at the door, and his little face is red from the cold. Seeing that Xu Shutong was fine, he was relieved. "Madam, the slave has boiled brown sugar and ginger water, you can drink a little." glanced at Luo Yan, and added, "You too." β
Although it was a play, how cold the ice water was, when I thought about it, I felt that my teeth were shivering, and Xu Shutong jumped down and made a bitter plan. And the falling geese, an unrelated person also jumped down, but it was to save people.
Lin Honglian had already been invited over, and she was grabbing the melons and fruits on the table to eat at this time. She had just eaten a roast suckling pig at the banquet when she was called over by Cunxi. When I asked, it was the former favorite concubine who had an accident, and after she came, she was really 'very busy'. It is indispensable to complain a few words in my heart.
Xu Shutong drank it, and while lying on the bed as requested, let Lin Honglian take the pulse, Xue Yinong stood aside, rubbing his hands nervously.
Cun Xi brought ginger brown sugar water to Luo Yan, "You have also worked hard, drink it." β
"Thank you!" Luo Yan drank it in one gulp and returned the bowl to pity.
Several people were waiting for Lin Honglian's diagnosis, and when they saw her, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, the emperor saved me in time, and there was no problem at all." β
She took the medicine box and prepared to kill it again, and finish the uneaten roast suckling pig again. There was a little pink thing beside her, arching around her feet.
Xue Yinong looked at it strangely, and saw that the dog was like a pig, round and timid, hiding behind Lin Honglian, secretly looking at her, and then suddenly got into Lin Honglian's skirt and hid. "Hehe, Imperial Doctor Lin's pig is so cute."
Lin Honglian: "......" is clearly a dog.
"But don't be in a hurry to leave yet, I still have a task for you, and it was found that Mama Mei fell into the water, saying that she was dead, you go to check it out."
"Ahh Lin Honglian reluctantly dragged out the old man's voice, and in the end she didn't let her celebrate the holiday.
"After that's done, I'll give you a few days off."
"Really? Don't cheat again this time. β
"Don't worry, I will always give you a chance to get off the list, and when you have time to walk around the streets, you may be able to meet your thousand-mile marriage."
Lin Honglian's eyes lit up, and she hugged her fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." "I threw my sleeves away in a dashing way, and then fell down with a 'bang', and tripped over the dog in my skirt." Dead piggy, you did this to me, you don't have your share of the bones today. β
Her dog was wilting and listless. Let's have fun.
Lin Honglian clamped it under her armpit, ignored its pitiful whine, and left.
Xue Yinong watched her leave, and also collected the smile on his face. Mama Mei's case is a bit difficult to handle, she pulled a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, "Shutong, you are the party, do you want to tell me what happened." β
"No problem. Your Majesty, here's how it happened...... "Xu Shutong sent Mama Mei a note and handed her a message, to how she wanted to assassinate her, how she escaped, and then how Mama Mei was unwilling, and finally pushed her out of the pool, fortunately she had a big life, and she didn't die, waiting for Yunyun to say angrily, "If it weren't for the rescue of Miss Luoyan this time, I would never see you again this time." She said with tears rolling down her eyes, and took the handkerchief and wiped it.
Cun Xi also added: "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid were also by the side at the time, and I was almost stupid by this sudden move, if it wasn't for the slave and maid being landlubbers, I would have jumped down to save my wife, why let her suffer so much." β
Both of them said this way, Xue Yinong was willing to believe Xu Shutong in his heart, but one-sided words were not advisable. She has to ask Yu Shiyou again, whether it is the person next to the queen, she can't do it without checking it out.
Xue Yinong got up and said, "Shutong, you have a good rest first." I went to find out what happened, so that I could avenge you. β
Xu Shutong thanked him again and again. She asked Cun Xi to go with Xue Yinong, so that it would be easy to testify, although there was also an element of polishing in Cun Xi's words, Xue Yinong still agreed.
The group marched towards the charity venue, and the originally lively auction suddenly became very quiet. Some palace people had already held chairs and asked everyone to sit down, while waiting for Xue Yinong's arrival.
Everyone looked at each other, or whispered to each other, exchanging opinions with each other. With people around the left and right, Lin Honglian was taking her assistant to conduct an autopsy on the spot, and Mama Mei's body was placed on a thin stretcher.
Yu Shiyou looked at her, his eyes were red, but he couldn't cry, such a good day, in front of everyone, it is really not appropriate to be presumptuous.
But in her heart she was very bitter and reproachful. If she could send Mama Mei back to the Prime Minister's Mansion last time, maybe Mama Mei wouldn't have to die, if she didn't agree to her stay this time, she would be fine, and she wouldn't have the mentality of fighting to the death with Xu Shutong.
In the final analysis, it was her soft-heartedness that killed Mama Mei.
The Queen Mother looked at Yu Shiyou, who was heartbroken but forbearing, and said in her heart: "The play of the master and servant is quite the same thing, this is stealing chickens and rice, at least I finally learned to be smarter, and in the end I will use my life to fight Xu Shutong, but how can ordinary people deal with Xu Shutong, they are still too young, so they underestimate the enemy." "There is no saying in this world to do it all over again, this time to admit defeat, next time you come. It's just that she lost one of her subordinates, the Queen Mother sighed, and it was a pity that she didn't kill Xu Shutong this time, that woman's life was really tough, and it was the most difficult thing she had ever met in her life, so she was a little annoying, and people always looked down on people who were similar to herself.
Father-in-law Ren had been guarding outside the door, and when he saw that Xue Yinong had come in a hurry, his face was gloomy, as if he was hiding his anger, and he reported inside.
Many people had left their seats early to stand up and wait for her to come in. As soon as Xue Yinong entered, the room full of people knelt down and shouted long live.
"Excuse me." She sat down in the vacant seat next to the Queen Mother, while waiting for Lin Honglian's autopsy results. "Red Lotus, how's it going?"
Lin Honglian got up and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, you will drown and have no other injuries." β
"Got it, you can step back first."
Lin Honglian hugged her fists and saluted, took her dog, and turned away, neatly and cleanly, with a cool breeze.
Xue Yinong was silent, but the Queen Mother next to her was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, hurry up and find out, everyone is waiting, what about Xu Shutong?" If you wake up, bring it over for questioning. β
"Yes, I have already asked, I regret that you will repeat it in front of everyone."
"Yes." Starting from handing over the note, when it comes to assassination, falling into the water and other things, "I took advantage of my wife's unpreparedness and pushed her into the water, who knew that I also fell." The Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the royal relatives and nobles, the old ladies and gentlemen, this is how things are going on. β
The Queen Mother patted the handrail and said, "Full of nonsense." If she pushes Xu Shutong, Xu Shutong is fine, why is she dead, are you an idiot when you mourn, or when the rest of the people are fools, how can it be okay to fall first, but the one who falls down later will die, it can be seen that you are lying, you should be beaten! Xiaodouzi, don't give the mourning family a slap. β
Xiaodouzi rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up, but was stopped by Xue Yinong. "Stop!" Little Bean stood still.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Could it be that the emperor wants to protect Xu Shutong in front of so many people?" The mourning family knows that you have always had a friendship, but this time it is a human life, and the emperor must treat everyone equally. β
Xue Yinong said: "Don't worry." I have something to say, after I finish speaking, if what I say is not right, it will still be too late for the Queen Mother to punish again. β
"Okay, the mourning family will listen to you."
The Queen Mother only knows one thing, but I don't know the other. I think there are loopholes in the Queen Mother's words. Although Xu Shutong fell into it first, she was young, and Mama Mei was very old, and she couldn't bear the cold. β
Everyone whispered below, some of this one was right, and some of those were unexpected.
The Queen Mother refuted her face because of Xue Yinong's face-to-face refutation, her face was a little ugly, but she didn't give up, "Then you can't just listen to this girl's words, it's not fair to the deceased." β
Xue Yinong said: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, I plan to thoroughly investigate Kunyuan Palace, and I have already sent Luo Yan to find a female official to interrogate all the people in Kunyuan Palace, and the results will come soon." β
"Andβ" said the Queen Mother, "didn't you say that there was a little note, a note?" "The Queen Mother expected that if this was an instigation case, every detail would be very detailed, and there would be no mistakes.
Cun Xi presented, the little bean next to the Queen Mother immediately took it and handed it to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother glanced at it and asked Cun Xi, "Are you sure this is written by Mama Mei?" β
"No, she sent it."
"That's uncertain."
Sorry for herself, she found that the Queen Mother seemed to be intent on planting, afraid that what she said would be too much would be unfavorable to Xu Shutong, and it would be better for the emperor to adjudicate anything. Saving his eyes to ask for help, Xue Yinong opened his mouth, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Dowager. β
"There's no problem, the mourning family just wants to find out the problem, give everyone the truth, and give justice to the deceased. If someone forged the note, it is not impossible to plant the, right, right? β
Xue Yinong said: "Since the Queen Mother has doubts, it is just right, and I also have doubts." Why don't you just take a look at it. β
Xue Yinong's words hit the heart of the Queen Mother, she named Yu Shiyou on the spot, and she had been sad and couldn't wait to wrap the quilt up, and Yu Shiyou, who had a sense of zΓ i, was named.
Yu Shiyou got up and said, "Yes, the concubine is here." β
The Queen Mother said kindly: "Good boy, don't be afraid, you can say whatever you want, no one dares to do anything to you?" Come and see if this is your mother's word. β
At this time, everyone's eyes in the audience were focused on Yu Shiyou, and now she can change the overall direction of this case with just one word, so what will she say? What is the truth?
Yu Shiyou walked over very uncomfortably, she could feel how dazzling everyone's eyes were, like a knife poking at her. She took it respectfully and glanced at the words on it.
The Queen Mother asked urgently, "How?" Do you see it? Did she write it? The Queen Mother asked three times, Yu Shiyou raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, and saw her eyes burning at herself, where there was some kind of longing. Yu Shiyou knew the Queen Mother's intentions, but she didn't want to involve herself in this matter, neither the Queen Mother nor Xu Shutong were people she could offend, but if she had to offend one?
She said slowly: "Back to the Queen Mother, Mama Mei is illiterate, let alone writing." β
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, thinking that Yu Shiyou had really opened up, okay! This time, let's see what else the emperor has to say. She said, "Your Majesty, what do you see? β
Xue Yinong found that the queen mother was happy, and suddenly understood that the queen mother planned to use this matter to pull Xu Shutong into the water, and it didn't matter what the truth was, thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning.
Xue Yinong didn't speak, and he was already so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet. She didn't care about any etiquette or etiquette for the time being, and said immediately: "Queen Mother, but it wasn't written by my wife!" β
The Queen Mother glared at her fiercely, "In front of everyone, is it your turn for a little girl to interject?" Your Majesty, you said. β
Xue Yinong said: "What she said is right, it wasn't written by Mama Mei and can't prove that it was written by Xu Shutong?" It's useless for us to argue about this matter, let's let the female official find out and see if anyone knows about this matter, and even check it together with the Splendid Palace, so that people will not feel that I am partial. β
The Queen Mother was speechless.
The crowd just waited to see the excitement. It's rare to come to the palace, and there is a good show to watch, and after going out, it's a lot of talk.
Xue Qingqiu carried the hem of his clothes, no matter how Xue Yinong investigated the case this time, the dead man in the palace was a scandal after all.
In comparison, he is the big winner today, so he is very satisfied, and seeing the conflict between the queen mother and the emperor, he is also quite happy. is a good show, and he has all the benefits, so his expression is exceptionally relaxed and happy, which is so inconsistent with the tense atmosphere in the field.
There was silence for a long time, and they were all waiting for the results of the female officer's investigation. After waiting for a long time, Gonggong Ren brought in a female official, and everyone who was like stagnant water cheered up again.
The female official, dressed in red, walked in quickly, and saluted everyone before saying: "Weichen Sangyu, on the orders of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, has investigated everyone in the two palaces, and the matter has been concluded. She first submitted the physical evidence, which was the note, "This thing has been proved not to be written by the deceased, nor is it Xu Shutong's handwriting, and Weichen has ordered Xu Shutong's handwriting to be submitted here." Sang Yu took out another piece of paper from his sleeve and put it in the tray, letting Xiaodouzi show it to the Queen Mother and Xue Yinong.
The Queen Mother asked, "Who wrote that?" β
"Back to the Queen Mother, this was written by a palace maid, and Weichen has asked someone to bring her over."
The Queen Mother said: "Let her come in and speak." β
The palace maid came in, gave her name, and told everything in front of everyone. started from Mama Mei sending money to buy her ghostwriter, and also wrote a suicide note.
The Queen Mother said: "Where is the suicide note?" β
The female officer presented it again, and the queen mother's face turned green. Xue Yinong said: "Queen Mother, is it better for me to take a look?" β
The Queen Mother was reluctant to let go, but in front of so many people, it was not easy to do anything, and with a little anger, she said, "Here you go!" "This Mama Mei is really stupid, she can die, she will die, and she will write a suicide note, so she is also very passive. The Queen Mother glanced at Yu Shiyou, could this not be what she ordered!
Yu Shiyou was horrified by the Queen Mother, and he wanted to know what Mama Mei had written.
Xue Yinong read it, knew it in his heart, and didn't read it out on the spot, the dead people in the palace were already ugly, and he just wanted to close the case quickly and end this paragraph, so that everyone could continue the auction, and announced: "Mama Mei had a plan to kill Xu Shutong first, but now she has lost her life." It can be seen that Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, all of it is done by her alone, and it has nothing to do with others, so be it! Well, the dead man was carried down and buried. β
That's it, this seemingly lively overboard case has come to an end, and everyone is a little disappointed, but they can't say anything, and there is no huge shady involvement, but is this really the case?
The result of this incident obviously made the Queen Mother not very satisfied, at least far from her expectations, and after staying for a while, she temporarily retired on the grounds of fatigue.
Xue Yinong did not stop him, but said: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Soon after, the Emperor Taishang, Empress Dowager He, Yu Shiyou and others retired again and returned to the palace. The charity banquet was handled by Xue Yinong alone, and the excitement was dispersed.
Here it is only said that the Queen Mother returned to the Palace of Recuperation and called He Sixian away. He Sixian accompanied him wholeheartedly and worked hard to accept, seeing that the Queen Mother's love seemed to be not good, he inevitably pretended to be relieved, "Is there anything worrying about the Queen Mother?" β
"You've seen it, hey! It's really embarrassing to say it, the mourning family was originally quite optimistic about the queen, who knew that she would act so recklessly. One good thing, let her mess it up. The Queen Mother patted the coffee table angrily, this is a rare good opportunity to get rid of Xu Shutong, why don't you know how to do things well and leave a suicide note, it's really inexplicable.
It's okay now, Xu Shutong didn't suspect it at all, she was picked cleanly, but she was a slandered bad person, really, she couldn't do anything, and she made a lot of mistakes, and she was stupid.
He Sixian had already guessed the queen mother's intentions, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the queen mother is not worth it, you have seen a big battle, the world, who is what is it, you know best, some people just look smart on the surface, this is called a smart girl with a stupid belly, where can you understand the deep meaning of the queen mother." β
