Xiao Junwan stood aside after saluting and listened quietly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Sister Huifei said that this maid was poisoned, does my sister have evidence?"

"That day, the palace maid of the main palace saw her walking very close to the slave who escorted the congratulatory gift, wasn't it deliberately poisoned?"

Su Shengxue hurriedly said: "Hui Niangniang relied on the words of a palace maid, and said that it was done by someone from the East Palace, I'm afraid it can't be justified." ”

Su Shengxue is still protecting this servant, just because she is afraid that she will implicate the entire East Palace.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui mentioned this matter to the slave maid before, and the slave didn't dare to say it rashly, so the slave and maid specially checked the details of this maid, and there was really something strange."

"Bottom?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this maid is called Ruyi, she was not the palace maid of the princess in the past, but the maid of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, or the personal maid of Qu Duhuan, which must have some impressions of several maids."

Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "The palace said that looking at how this maid is so familiar, it turns out to be the person next to Qu Duhuan." ”

Qin Ming was puzzled, and asked Qin He in a low voice: "How could my sister-in-law take in Miss Qu's maid?" ”

"Sheng Xue said that she was pitiful for Ruyi."

The corners of Qin Ming's mouth raised: "With the grievances of sister-in-law and Miss Qu, take in Miss Qu's maid, eldest brother?" ”

"What does the second brother mean by this?"

Qin Ming was silent, looking at Ruyi kneeling in the hall with empty eyes.

"This maid is Qu Duhuan's maid, but she is willing to stay with the princess, what does she want?"

Concubine Hui said lightly: "Everyone knows that if it weren't for Qu Duanhuan, the current crown princess should be her, this maid is afraid that she wants to avenge Qu Duanhuan, so she poisoned the eagle and wanted to blame the prince and the princess." ”

Ruyi hurriedly defended: "The slave maid is not, the slave maid is loyal to the princess and the princess, how can she harm the maid." ”

Xiao Junwan hooked the corners of her lips: "You are a maid who is full of joy, will you be loyal to the crown princess?" ”

"The crown princess and the princess took in the slave and maid regardless of the previous suspicions, and the slave and maid were too late to be grateful, how could they seek revenge for the old master, and Qu Duhuan deserved to die, she was innocent of death, and the slave and maid would not avenge her."

"Do you believe what you say?" Xiao Junwan looked at Su Shengxue with a smile.

"Hongu ......"

"Shengxue, you are confused, how can you keep the maid of Qufu by your side, and now you almost hurt the prince." Concubine Shu scolded lightly and glanced at Su Shengxue.

Xiao Junwan knew that Concubine Shu was now going down the steps she gave.

It doesn't matter whether Ruyi was wronged or not, as long as Concubine Shu and Su Shengxue insisted that Ruyi did it to seek revenge, then Qin He and Su Shengxue were wronged, so that the East Palace could be cleaned up.

It's just sacrificing a little palace maid, why not.

Su Shengxue understood, and no longer helped Ruyi to defend herself, but pretended to be angry: "Good for you, this palace is kind enough to take you in, you dare to take revenge." ”

"Mother, the slave is wronged......"

"What kind of injustice are you shouting, if you collude with the inner prison to poison the eagle, this princess can hear it clearly, and she can still wronged you?" Qin Jiarou walked in and said bluntly.

"Princess ......"

"Shut up! You eat things inside and out, and you dare to argue with this princess. ”

"Your Majesty, now that the evidence is conclusive, this servant is so bold that she dares to frame the prince, and she almost provokes a war with Qi Yan, which cannot be spared."

Emperor Taihong waved his hand: "Pull it down." ”

Ruyi struggled and cried: "Your Majesty spares your life...... Slaves and maids are wronged......"

Concubine Shu said sharply to the guards: "Don't take it away quickly." ”

Xiao Junwan indifferently watched the guards drag Ruyi out, and glanced at Su Shengxue and Qin He coldly, this is just the beginning!

The people in the hall dispersed, Xiao Junwan was the last to walk out of the hall, the spring was deep, the sun was scorching, and there was only a trace of freedom in his heart, but except for Ruyi, it was nothing.

"Xiao Junwan." Qin Jiarou waited outside and called out to her.

"Princess."

"Princess Ben helped you panic, shouldn't you also ......?"

"He went to Binzhou."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"The princess will find out when she goes to Binzhou to inquire."

"I'll believe you once, if you dare to lie to me, my father-in-law will not be able to eat and walk around."

After sending Qin Jiarou away, Xiao Junwan couldn't help but groan, she didn't expect that someone like Qin Jiarou would be very affectionate.

"Xiao Shangyi stays."

Xiao Junwan had just taken two steps, and when he heard someone shouting, he turned around and saw that it was Qin Ming.

Xiao Junwan owed: "His Royal Highness King Rui." ”

"Borrow a step to speak." After Qin Ming finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side.

Xiao Junwan followed him to a secluded place, and without waiting for her to ask Qin Ming's intention, Qin Ming said: "Xiao Shangyi's trick of killing people with a knife is a wonderful one." ”

A smile appeared on Xiao Junwan's lips: "The slave doesn't understand what His Highness means. ”

"Do you know anything?"

"What can a slave know?"

"The reason why the crown princess took Ruyi in."

Xiao Junwan smiled: "The crown princess is just taking in a palace maid, what other reasons can there be worthy of the care of His Royal Highness and the slaves." ”

"This king knows that you are a smart man, but you don't want to perfunctory this king."

"In this way, His Highness is also a smart person, so you might as well guess for yourself." Xiao Jun left without saying anything.

Qin Ming is suspicious and scheming by nature, even if he has different intentions for the East Palace, she can't easily get along with him.

The cell was still so dark and claustrophobic, Xiao Junwan instructed Concubine Hui's palace maid to wait outside the prison, she walked into the prison alone, and took Concubine Hui's token and sent away the guards in the prison.

Xiao Junwan opened the door, entered the prison, looked at the female prisoner sitting in the corner, and shouted softly: "Ruyi." ”

Ruyi looked up and saw Xiao Junwan, climbed up to Xiao Junwan, grabbed the corner of her skirt and begged: "Lord Shangyi, the slave and maid are wronged, save the slave and maid." ”

"You don't know who I am?"

Ruyi looked at Xiao Junwan, remembered her family background, and said busily: "The slave maid is the maid of Qufu, and Miss Biao wants to save the slave maid." ”

"Didn't you say that the people of the Qu family are innocent of death?"

"Slave maid...... The slave maid wanted to get away with the crime, and she panicked for a while, so she ......"

Xiao Junwan interrupted her words and asked coldly, "Where is Qu Duanyu?" ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Second Miss, Second Miss was taken out of the palace by the princess, and the slave didn't know where the second miss was, the princess said that she would not kill the second miss, but she wanted to let her live more uncomfortable than death." ”

Xiao Junwan frowned for a moment.

"Miss Cousin, save the slaves."

"Why don't you go and ask the crown princess? If you turn your back on the old Lord and take refuge in her, she should give you glory and wealth, right? How did I make you a scapegoat? ”

"Miss Table......"

Xiao Junwan leaned down, pulled Ruyi's hand holding the corner of her skirt, and pushed the sleeve up, revealing a scar on Ruyi's arm, which was already old.

"All these years have passed, and if you hadn't suffered this injury then, you wouldn't have ended up like this now." Xiao Junwan sighed lightly.

Hearing this, Ruyi looked at Xiao Junwan in dismay.
