(24) The truth

Rou Guiji, who was originally reclining on the circle chair because of her frailty, sat up straight, leaned forward, staring at Qian Guiji in the middle of the main hall, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she muttered to herself: "Impossible, how can it be you?" ”

He turned his head to look at the emperor and queen on the seat, especially Shen Zhan, "Didn't you say that the murderer had something to do with the person who changed my prescription?" How could it be Rosie? Rougui Ji Wen Qingwan looked at Liu Shuxing again, "Guifei Niangniang, what is going on?" Rosie and I have always been friends, and she will never change my prescription. ”

"What's going on? Then you'll have to ask your good sister. Liu Shuxing sat down in the first position below, and slowly brushed the armor of his ring finger, "Qian Guiji, for the sake of me still calling you Guiji, you can do it." ”

The concubine openly commented on the grade of the concubine! His Majesty was still sitting on the top, and he didn't say anything, but the concubine Niangniang openly trespassed and made a judgment for His Majesty!

When the concubines sitting below heard Liu Shuxing's words, their expressions were all dazed, and they all borrowed the action to look at Shen Zhan who was at the top, but saw that Shen Zhan's expression did not change, as if they heard Liu Shuxing saying that the weather was good today. The concubines silently overestimated Liu Shuxing's status in Shen Zhan's heart.

Song Mi'er's expression next to him did not change, just because his hand was still holding in Shen Zhan's hand. It's a lot more reassuring.

Luo Xi, who was escorted by the palace people and knelt, cried so much that her makeup was spent, and when she heard Liu Shuxing's words, she suddenly got together, and before she could stand up straight, she was pressed down by the chief waiter again, so she had to look up at Rou Guiji with her neck stalked: "Qingwan, you know me best, how can I change the medicine for you?" It's even more impossible to kill the queen's palace people! ”

He turned his head sideways and looked at Shen Zhan and Song Mi'er again, "Your Majesty, the queen mother!" You have to make decisions for me and for my concubine! The concubine is wronged! I had no idea what was going on! The concubine has never done anything! ”

Rosie cried with tears, her face was mottled, Jiang Fangyi Jiang Yuexi had already covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned and looked at Rosie who was not far from her, Concubine Zhuang Chi Yanran was also embarrassed to look away, but Qin Fanghua looked calm, as if she hadn't seen anything, which caused Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xian to look at her twice.

"What the hell is going on, concubine, you can tell me clearly." Shen Zhan, who was at the top, opened his mouth.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is also simple." Liu Shuxing stood up from his seat and slowly bowed to Shen Zhan with a full demeanor, "A few days ago, His Majesty handed over the investigation of the murderer of the palace people in the Empress Mother's Palace to the concubine and the concubine. In order to avoid people who are interested in getting in the way, the concubine discussed with the concubine, and we listed several parts that needed to be checked, and checked each other alternately, so as to avoid omissions. This verification also proves that what the concubine said next was evidence obtained at the same time as the concubine and the concubine, and it was not the words of the concubine's family. ”

Yuan Wanyou, the concubine who was originally sitting, waited for Liu Shuxing's words to fall, and then took the initiative to stand up and give blessings to Shen Zhan and Song Mier, "Your Majesty, the queen mother, this is indeed the case, this matter was found out by the concubine and the concubine Niangniang, but Your Majesty Queen Niangniang, you also know that the concubine has always been unaccustomed to these twists and turns, so the concubine Niangniang will take care of it alone." ”

"Well," Shen Zhan glanced at Liu Shuxing, "So, concubine, you can tell me what you and Concubine Shu have investigated." ”

Liu Shuxing was just about to speak, but Rosie, who was kneeling on the ground and had been crying, opened her mouth and howled again, "Your Majesty, you are wronged!" Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of the concubine, the concubine has never done anything, since entering the palace, the concubines have been in peace, abide by the palace rules, the concubine body is not harmful, and the concubine body does not know why the concubine Niangniang sent someone to tie up the concubine body! ”

"Hmph, you have always been ruthless, do you dare to say that I and Duan Miao were not punished by you? How did Duan Miao and I offend you again? Didn't you just say the wrong word, you punished us to kneel outside for an hour, that was when you just entered the palace, you were so ruthless, who knows if the people in the small palace will offend you again, you still close your mouth and listen to what the concubine Niangniang said, if you really haven't done anything, Your Majesty and the queen will never wronged you. He Mengjie shook the handle of the fan, and her words were full of dissatisfaction with Qian Guiji's punishment for kneeling and the pleasure of Qian Guiji kneeling and letting it fall.

"Shut her mouth up for me, and you'll have to defend it later." Liu Shuxing's eyes rolled, his slender hand was raised, and he instructed the powerful waiter to take out a cloth towel and block Qian Guiji's mouth.

"Your Majesty, this matter has to start with Qian Guiji's corporal punishment of He Zhaoyi," Liu Shuxing glanced at He Mengjie unhurriedly, and was so shocked that He Mengjie's hand shaking the handle of the fan stiffened, and involuntarily eased the look of gritting her teeth at Qian Guiji just now, she looked at Duan Miao, but saw Duan Miao's expression calm, her beautiful eyes were half-closed, and she was actually out of the way, and she couldn't help but feel a little unexplained chagrin in her heart, and remembered the wind that Liu Guifei swept just now, bit her lip, sat up straight, and listened respectfully.

Liu Shuxing saw that He Mengjie'an sat up straight, smiled slightly, and then said, "The concubine and the concubine sister have checked a lot of palace people in private recently, which people in this palace have done something in private, we are very clear," Speaking of this, Liu Shuxing suddenly raised his voice slightly, and many of the concubines sitting below were shocked, and many of the concubines and concubines looked at each other, slightly uneasy, Song Mier, who was sitting above, frowned, held Shen Zhan's hand tightly, and snorted lightly, Shen Zhan also looked at Liu Shuxing, Liu Shuxing noticed Shen Zhan and Song Mier's eyes, and smiled generously at Shen Zhan, and then said, "Because the sisters have not been in the palace for a long time, the people under their hands are also honest, and the queen mother is well governed, and our palace is very harmonious." Only the matter of Rou Guiji and the palace maid Ah Ran is considered a big deal. Because the palace maid Ah Ran seems to be inextricably linked to Rou Guiji's matter, we will start with the matter of Rou Guiji, on weekdays, Rou Guiji is not in constant contact with people because of her frailty, and only has a very good relationship with Qian Guiji. And it was before she fell into a coma that day that Rou Guiji followed Qian Guiji to punish the two concubines. ”

Liu Shuxing looked at He Zhaoyi and Duan Miao with a smile, at first the concubine and the concubine thought that this matter might have something to do with He Zhaoyi and them, until they found this palace person. After saying that, Liu Shuxing clapped his hands again, only to see two more attendants pressing a long attendant with a cloth towel in his mouth to come in.

The long waiter who was pressed was a little old, his temples were gray, and he didn't struggle when he was pressed to the front of the temple, he took the strip of cloth from his mouth, and he didn't yell and scream, just knelt there without saying a word, but he was a little calm.

"This chief attendant, when the concubine and the concubine investigated the murder of the palace people in Xuande Palace, tried to bribe the concubine and the palace people under the concubine many times to listen to the progress of the case. But I don't want to, when we found out about Rou Guiji, we found out about the head of this palace person, according to many palace people, on the day Rou Guiji fell into a coma, many people saw him wandering around Rou Guiji's bedroom! The concubine and the concubine immediately wondered why a small elder attendant could be related to two cases at the same time. So he took advantage of his unpreparedness and sent someone to search his residence, but he didn't want to, and found a bloody handkerchief in his residence, with a small word 'ran' on it. So he took this palace person to interrogate, this palace person is also cowardly, and he made all the moves in two or three strokes, killing Ah Ran, and changing the medicine for Rou Guiji, all of which came from the hands of this palace person, and the mastermind behind this scene is this Qian Guiji Rosie! Liu Shuxing turned to the kneeling palace man and said sharply, "Say what you said in front of the palace and the concubine, and then tell your majesty and the queen mother." ”

"Yes." The palace man responded in a low voice, kowtowed to Shen Zhan and Song Mi'er, completely ignoring Qian Guiji, who was stuffed with strips of cloth beside him, glared angrily at the side, and said calmly, "Slaves are guilty, and slaves deserve death." The palace maid Ah Ran was killed by a minion, and Rou Guiji's medicine was also exchanged by a minion. This qiē was all instructed by Master Qian! Saying that, he kowtowed to Shen Zhan and Song Mi'er again, "The slave is the palace man of the Huanyi Bureau, because he tried to eat with the palace maid next to Qian Guiji, and was discovered by Qian Guiji, so he grabbed the handle of the slave and asked the slave to do things for her." His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and the palace was a happy scene, and the servants were afraid that the vain attempt to eat would be poked out and affect the family, so they had to help Qian Guiji do things. It didn't take long for Qian Guiji to find a slave to help her do the first thing, which was to secretly change the dressing for Rou Guiji. Because the slave is the person of the Huanyi Bureau, the slave took the initiative to take the task of delivering the washed clothes for Rou Gui Ji Niangniang, and took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy in the morning and did not have time to pick up the clothes, so they sold them and sent them directly to the outside of Rou Guiji's dormitory. ”

Rou Guiji turned her head to look at Yang Xi behind her, and Yang Xi was about to kneel down as soon as her knees were weak: "Master forgive me, that day the slave maid followed the master to the queen mother to ask for peace, and sent a little palace maid to guard the door, the slave and maid really don't know about it!" ”

The kneeling palace man opened his mouth again, "Gui Ji Niangniang, don't blame your palace people, the slave has been in the palace for many years, if you have the intention to commit a crime, even if you send two more small palace people, you can't stop it." ”

"What Qian Guiji said to the slave that day is just a medicine that makes Rou Guiji's body weaker and unable to sleep, and it is not a big problem for people, but I don't want Rou Guiji to faint, His Majesty Xià strictly investigated this matter, and the slave was worried for a few days, and finally couldn't help but find Qian Guiji to inquire about it, but he didn't want to be heard by the palace maid Ah Ran who was playing nearby, and the slave wanted to threaten a few words, but Qian Guiji Niangniang said that she would not do anything, forcing the slave to kill that Ah Ran."

This palace person looked blank when he spoke, and his words were clearly organized, looking like he didn't care at all when the matter was revealed, and he didn't throw it all on Qian Guiji to say that he was threatened by her, nor did he confess all the charges and just want to die quickly, but everyone couldn't help but believe him a little more.

"You fart!" Na Qian Guiji didn't know when he had already spit out the strip of cloth in his mouth, and as soon as the words of the palace people fell, they couldn't wait to open their mouths and curse him, their eyes were torn, and their mouths were foul words, and the concubines who were sitting frowned.

Jiang Fangyi and Jiang Yuexi whispered to Qin Fanghua and Qin Shuya, who were sitting next to him, "Look at Qian Guiji like this, it seems that she has a weak heart." ”

Qin Fanghua and Qin Shuya smiled at Jiang Yuexi, gently bowed their chins, and didn't comment much, Jiang Yuexi raised her chin slightly, glanced at Qin Shuya again, and then raised her cheeks and looked at Qian Guiji with relish.

That Qian Guiji has completely disregarded her manners, her hair is scattered, her dress is wrinkled, if it weren't for the fact that Her Majesty and the queen are still sitting on the top, and she is being pressed by the palace people, I am afraid that she would have to cross her waist and scold.

"I haven't seen you before, so why tell me about it?! Besides, Qingwan and I are good friends, if she sleeps with me, I will be honored, why should I let you change Qingwan's recipe? What's more, go and kill that palace maid Ah Ran! ”

"The slave doesn't know why you want the slave to change the prescription of Rougui Ji Niangniang, the slave only remembers that Niangniang said that day, Rougui Ji Niangniang gave the word as soon as she entered the palace, and where she is, she will inevitably not be able to see you, and she has to stick to you every day, so you have to make this decision, let her rest for a few days, and wait for Her Majesty to forget her, or Niangniang, you yourself are favored first, and then discuss the future."

"Rosie! Are you pestering me or am I pestering you! It's in vain that I treat you sincerely, you actually, you actually ......! When Wen Qingwan heard what the palace people said, her face was as white as paper, her body was shaky, and Yang Xi behind her stroked her back again and again.

"Qinghe, change the cup of tea for Rou Guiji," Song Mi'er glanced at Wen Qingwan, "You are not in good health, don't be angry with yourself," and looked at the palace people, "Tell me, how did Ah Ran die?" ”

The palace people kowtowed to Song Mier again, "The **** found Qian Guiji to discuss the matter of Rou Gui Ji Niangniang under the Eight Eyes Bridge, Qian Gui Ji Niangniang turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, saying that if the matter is revealed, she will push me out to take the blame, anyway, I want to eat with her palace people, as long as the matter of food is taken out, I am not afraid that someone will not believe that it is Rou Gui Ji Niangniang who I took the initiative to harm, and also said that even if everyone doesn't believe it, she has the ability to make everyone believe what she said." The slave was not angry, and argued with Qian Guiji Niangniang for a few words, but he didn't want to attract the little palace maid Ah Ran, and I don't know how much she listened, Qian Guiji saw that she was discovered, so she arrested that Ah Ran, and forced the slave to strangle her, because it was daytime, the body of the little palace maid was not easy to deal with, so the slave put her in the grass deep next to the path under the Eight Eyes Bridge, and took stones and grass to cover, thinking about dealing with it at night, but did not want to wait until evening, but heard that the body of the little palace maid was found in the Xuande Palace. As for the strip of cloth that Ah Ran was holding in his hand, the slave didn't know. ”

When the palace people told about Ah Ran, when they talked about killing Ah Ran, their left hand trembled slightly, and their pupils seemed to be a little unable to concentrate, and when the body was found, his expression was a little depressed, as if he was annoyed that he had not handled the corpse well, and when he said that he didn't know the source of the cloth, it was very natural, and it was indeed not like he was instructed by anyone to frame the queen.

When Liu Shuxing heard the last sentence of the palace man, "I don't know where the cloth came from", he quietly loosened the hand clenched in his sleeve, and turned his phoenix eyes slightly to look at Shen Zhan, and saw that he had no doubts, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that when Liu Shuxing grabbed the strip of cloth that day, he also grabbed a few half-cut silk silks, and the weaving technique seemed to be used by that person. But I didn't want to find out this palace person so smoothly, and after checking it, that Ah Ran was really killed by him, as for the person behind him, he didn't say anything, Liu Shuxing couldn't confirm whether it was the person who instigated it, so he had to push the person out first, coerced and lured him a few times to let him instruct Qian Guiji to settle down, as for who stuffed the cloth strip that framed the queen in the fist that Ah Ran was holding, Liu Shuxing said that it was none of her business.
