Chapter 204
"Ling'er, what happened to you, you have to see the mourning family today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xu Qiushui saw that Tian Ling'er's knees were already **, Xu Qiushui, who was originally a royal person, didn't know that this was a bitter trick, but he also followed her bridge.
Tian Ling'er got up suddenly, left her seat, bowed slightly to the emperor and the queen mother, and then knelt on her knees, tears actually flowed down, and her voice trembled a little, and said: "The queen mother, the emperor, please be the master of the concubine!" Her words surprised everyone, what the hell was going on.
Yao Meier looked at her, she was really good at acting, but she came to see the play today, after all, Liu Qingqiu's palace maid Mai Xiang was injured by the people of Tianlan Palace, and now her life and death are uncertain, according to Liu Qingqiu's temper, I am afraid that the queen mother will have to call the shots.
Xu Qiushui glanced at Tian Ling'er, and then glanced at the palace maid who was scouting on the side, only to see the palace maid Yingying stepped forward, helped Tian Ling'er up, and comforted: "Concubine Lingniang, what is there that the Queen Mother can't do for you, you don't have to be so sad, take care of yourself." ā
Tian Ling'er also got up, but the tears still kept flowing, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "Queen Mother, Ling'er's palace doesn't know what disaster has suffered, and suddenly broke into several thieves, wounded Ling'er's guards, and some have been killed, General Chu also knows about this matter, after Ling'er found out, he ordered someone to check if there was any loss of money in the palace, but after an investigation, except for a few dead and injured guards, no one found it, but it was written on the wall of the Tianlan Palace, A few blood words to avenge the generals of the Wei State, I am afraid that this was done by the people who followed my father against me before, they secretly lurked in Ling'er's palace, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge, but I don't know if these people are still in other palaces? I'm afraid of framing Ling'er. In fact, it is light to frame Ling'er, after all, Ling'er's personality, the queen mother and the emperor both know, but let the sisters of other palaces be harmed, Ling'er can't make up for it even if she dies. ā
Although Mu Changqing had doubts in his heart, he still persuaded him and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, why did you kneel outside the Queen Mother's palace for so long?" ā
Tian Ling'er was still teary-eyed, and said: "Your Majesty, although Ling'er was able to save her life, after all, it was because of Ling'er that the thieves were attracted to the palace to assassinate, and Ling'er was ashamed of the emperor's grace." She said every word, but there was no trace of a handle that people could grasp.
Yao Mei'er saw such a scene happening, and immediately said: "Sister Ling'er said this, is it really that the remnants of the Wei State and Sister Ling'er were dissatisfied, so to speak, the palace guards of the Mu Kingdom are so light on the enemy, and they actually let the remnants of the previous dynasty break into the palace and act recklessly, the guards in the backyard are really sweating." She said this deliberately, but she wanted more people to be aware of it, and she couldn't rely on the words of one person alone.
Xu Qiushui said lightly: "Pass on General Chuyan." ā
Soon I saw Chu Yan dressed in a military uniform, the armor on his body was still glowing with the cold air that he had just returned from patrolling outside, and there was also a trace of melted water on the armor, after he came in, he knelt down and said, "I've seen the emperor, the queen mother!" ā
Xu Qiushui said straight to the point: "General Chu, you are the victorious general of our country, and the general in charge of security in the palace, but just now Concubine Ling said that there were thieves in her palace, but is there such a thing?" ā
Chu Yan glanced at Tian Ling'er, thought for a long time, and finally spoke, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, it is exactly, Weichen is also in full swing in the investigation, and the real backyard has strictly sent more guards to protect it, which will inevitably make the mothers of each palace safe and sound." ā
"Oh? Has the thief already been punished? Xu Qiushui seemed to care about what happened to these thieves.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister has not found any clues about them, just followed along the unknown bloodstains all the way, and suddenly cut off the clues in the direction of Jing Fei Niangniang's Jing Yi Pavilion, Wei Chen has ordered someone to investigate, but no suspicious people were found in Jing Fei Niangniang's palace, presumably this thief must not be able to run far, it seems that this thief is still injured." Chu Yan said so many words, so he didn't say any more.
At this time, Fang Kerou said lightly: "In this way, our sisters are still scared, this thief has also eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and he is really not afraid of death when he does a crime in the backyard!" ā
Suddenly, a guard came in to tell him, but he said to Chu Yan: "General, the body of one of the thieves has been found." ā
Chu Yan hurriedly looked back at him and said, "Oh? Where did you find it? ā
The guard seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, so he looked at Su Ruohan, who was quietly drinking tea on the side, and then said: "It was found in Jingyi Pavilion, and the palace maids in Jingyi Pavilion also pointed out that this guard was killed by Concubine Jing." He said at the end, his voice became quieter and quieter, and he seemed to be afraid that the most favored concubine in the backyard would be unfavorable to him, after all, he could kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, but in the backyard, they could kill people invisibly as long as they moved their mouths, where could he be afraid.
Although Chu Yan didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Concubine Jing, after all, he told the whereabouts of the thief in front of everyone, but it was in Concubine Jing's palace, and this matter must not be hastily ended, and he looked at Su Ruohan and said, "I don't know, Concubine Jing has something to say." ā
Su Ruohan didn't want Tian Ling'er to get off the horse today, she came here to let the sisters of the palace know what kind of person she Tian Ling'er was, so there was a scene where she had to see the Queen Mother today, but she didn't expect this Tian Ling'er to make a correct judgment at the first time, and also made enough alibi evidence, so that her secret guard instantly became a remnant of the previous dynasty, it seems that this Tian Ling'er is really not to be underestimated, he was really underestimated before.
Mu Changqing saw everyone looking at Su Ruohan, so he said, "It seems that there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, how can it have anything to do with Qingqiu." ā
Xu Qiushui glanced at Mu Changqing, but he didn't expect that he would still excuse this Liu Qingqiu, so he said coldly: "What the hell is going on, I haven't heard what Concubine Jing said, how can the emperor know that this matter is a misunderstanding?" That's too much of an assertion. ā
Su Ruohan got up, moved to the middle of the main hall, and said in a voice as warm as jade: "Back to the Queen Mother, back to the Emperor, Qingqiu has indeed seen these guards, and they are also the people who were taken away from the palace of Sister Lingfei, at that time, my palace maid Mai Xiang was carried out of the palace by them, so Qingqiu didn't know what their identity was, but Qingqiu's palace maid scolded her mother for her life and death unknown, and she was covered with scars, which seemed to be caused by continuous whipping all night, this naturally had Wang Taiyi testifying, and now Mai Xiang is not out of danger, So Qingqiu tortured and asked who they were, but unexpectedly, they didn't say anything, but one of the guards actually bit his tongue and committed suicide, Qingqiu wanted the other two to tell who they were, whether there was an accomplice, but they didn't say a word, so Qingqiu used the dead person to coerce and lure them, but still couldn't say a word, Qingqiu thought, since they came out of the palace of Sister Lingfei generously, presumably the identity must not be simple, so to speak, But it was the remnants of the previous dynasty that Sister Lingfei thought was so, since this was the case, Qingqiu brought them over, hoping that the Queen Mother and the Emperor could take strict care of them, and it was best to investigate what their identities were. Su Ruohan cleverly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and also said how she saw these guards, and also explained that Mai Xiang was caused by being whipped overnight.
Su Ruohan said lightly: "It's just that Qingqiu doesn't know, this Mai Xiang is just a little palace maid in Qingqiu, the palace maids of the entire palace yesterday can testify, Sister Lingfei called Mai Xiang over, but the people from Sister Lingfei's palace, oh, by the way, it was Xiqiao who said, Mai Xiang did not appear in the Tianlan Palace, and the inconsistency of such a speech was too big, Qingqiu really doubted that this Xiqiao had something to do with these remnants of the previous dynasty, otherwise, how could they be killed and not say it, and Xiqiao actually opened his eyes and said nonsense, Isn't this an excuse for their remnants? ā
When Xi Qiao heard this, she immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, plopped, her face turned pale with fright, and she said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the slave maid is wronged, the slave maid doesn't know why Concubine Jing said this." ā
Mu Changqing just wanted to speak, but was glared at by Xu Qiushui, and then Xu Qiushui said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, I like you to explain what is going on." Xu Qiushui said this, but she was not talking for Xiqiao, but for Tian Ling'er to exonerate, she was simply too blatantly partial.
Su Ruohan just smiled coldly, today Xu Qiushui didn't dare to favor Tian Ling'er in any way, it was useless, after all, her purpose today was not to let Tian Ling'er step down, but to let the sisters in each palace see clearly how Xu Qiushui controlled the center of power in the backyard, it was really stupid to pull Tian Ling'er down, and it was a wise move to pull down the water together with Xu Qiushui, and all this was Su Ruohan's purpose today.
Xiqiao hurriedly stepped forward on her knees, but she cried as if she had never seen such a big formation, but she also shrunk and trembled, as if she was too scared.
Su Ruohan glanced at her inadvertently, and smiled coldly, now Xu Qiushui is coming forward for this little palace maid, no matter what she says, the fact that the queen mother favors her has been confirmed, so she just needs to wait and see what happens, and the rest will not be explained.
Tian Ling'er knew that she couldn't blindly let Xiqiao cry non-stop, after all, the Queen Mother had already shown an upset look, she walked over, stood next to Xiqiao, and said: "Xiqiao, just tell the truth, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are here, and they will definitely uphold justice, you don't have to be afraid." ā
This Tian Ling'er is very smart, she pointed the finger at Su Ruohan in a few words, and Xiqiao did it very well, and she was afraid, and she was worried about offending the powerful, no matter what she said later, it would definitely make everyone think that this Xiqiao must be afraid of offending some people.
Xiqiao hurriedly understood something, so she said: "Back to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Xiqiao did see Mai Xiang in the palace of Concubine Lingniang yesterday, but Mai Xiang begged the slave to help her hide the secret. ā
Everyone was shocked by the words, and they all looked at Su Ruohan, and suddenly the style of painting changed abruptly, this spearhead has been pointed at Su Ruohan, but Yao Meier is even more strange, obviously Su Ruohan came with an assassin to seek justice, why did the palace maid of her palace hide that she went to Tianlan Palace, what is going on? It's getting deeper and deeper.
Su Ruohan just stood next to her tightly, not excusing herself without saying a word, in such a state of mind, as if she was not afraid at all, but Xiqiao's words could easily make Su Ruohan fall into the charge of slandering the concubine, is she really not afraid?
Xu Qiushui seemed to hear something, so he said, "Xiqiao, you go on." ā
Xiqiao nodded, as if she had mustered up her courage, and said: "Mai Xiang said that since she entered the palace, she has seen my family's Lingfei Niangniang's dress very distinctive, and the last time she saw Niangniang's gorgeous dress was very beautiful, she wanted to hide it from Concubine Jing, and came to ask, what is that material made of, and who is the embroidery on it, she also wants to make one for Concubine Jing." Xiqiao simply took the matter over in a few words, without mentioning why Mai Xiang had not come out of the Tianlan Palace for a day and a night, and she was still injured.
Xu Qiushui smiled coldly and said, "It seems that this Mai Xiang is still a heartfelt slave, and he actually deceived the mothers of the two palaces for a piece of clothing, and also caused today's misunderstanding." ā
Su Ruohan didn't speak, just quietly, at this time Yao Mei'er got up and stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, Mei'er thinks that since this matter is a misunderstanding, after all, it was also caused by the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the remnants of the former dynasty were also arrested by Concubine Jing's sister, why not interrogate them on the spot, it just so happens that General Chu is also there, so that the concubines in the palaces can rest assured." ā
As soon as Xu Qiushui wanted to say something to stop it, he heard Chu Yan bow his head and say, "Queen Mother, what Concubine Yao said is true, after all, this remnant of the previous dynasty is not a trivial matter, and if it is interrogated in front of everyone, it can also be returned to the backyard for peace." ā
At this time, Mu Changqing also said: "Yes, this matter is really strange, Chu Yan, I will order you to interrogate on the spot now, and you must interrogate the people behind the scenes." ā
Tian Ling'er's face was pale at this time, but she didn't have such a domineering posture before, and Xiqiao also looked at Tian Ling'er quietly, hoping to detect her next use, but she was very disappointed, because she didn't see anything, and she also bowed her head again, waiting quietly, but this kind of waiting was extremely tormenting.
Soon, two guards appeared in the palace of the Queen Mother, but Chu Yan asked, "Who are you?" ā
The two guards glanced at Tian Ling'er, but suddenly committed suicide by biting their tongues in the court, no one expected such a scene, Mu Changqing took the lead and said: "Hurry up, stop them." "But it's too late.
Yao Mei'er and Fang Kerou showed extremely disappointed expressions on their faces, but Su Ruohan was just quiet, because she never thought that they would be able to testify against Tian Ling'er's crimes on the spot, so she expected such a scene in advance, since she already knew that there would be such and such a thing, how could she be disappointed.
Xu Qiushui rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The mourning family is tired, you go down." She said this obviously to draw a sentence for this matter, and glanced at Tian Ling'er with a little meaning, and then got up and walked towards the inner hall.
Mu Changqing glanced at everyone seated, so he said, "Let's all go back." There was also a hint of exhaustion in his voice. After everyone left, Tian Ling'er smiled coldly, and then pulled Xiqiao, who was kneeling on the side, and said, "Very good, the Queen Mother is really smart." ā
