Chapter 50
Wen Rao tripped over the hem of her skirt and fell to the ground with a wolf.
The guards did not dare to touch her, but stood guard around her and blocked her way.
Qi Yao was like an ornament from the beginning, silence was the greatest freedom he gave to this banquet, no one would like to listen to his orders and drink freely, if a person like him opened his mouth, they would only tremble and break the cup.
It's a pity that he gave them the opportunity to show their faces, but they brought a miasma of black smoke.
He is still an emperor after all, not an ornament.
"Where do you want to go?" Qi Yao asked.
"IāI don't feel well......," Wen Rao said in a humble voice.
"Oh." Qi Yao raised his hand and said to the nearest guard, "Bring the sword." ā
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then without hesitation, he unloaded the long sword at his waist and handed it to Qi Yao.
Qi Yao turned his hand and pointed his sword at Wen Rao.
Jiang Qiyu took two steps forward but was grabbed tightly by Ask, "Childe, don't ......"
At this moment, Qi Yao's sword had already fallen, nailed to her leg, and blood spread from her leg.
Wen Rao's eyes widened, and she looked at Qi Yao in disbelief, but she didn't even cry out in pain.
Someone had sharp eyes and saw something squirming under the skirt, Qi Yao then just picked up the tip of the sword, and a small golden snake with the thickness of an index finger flew out, the snake broke into two, and the blood that flowed out was exactly the same color as the color on Wen Rao's skirt.
"If you dare to go to the door today, your life will be gone." Qi Yao looked at her, his eyes mixed with complicated feelings and disappointment.
"IāI don't know what this is, I just don't dare to lose my honor in front of the palace......" Wen Rao's lips gradually lost their blood.
Her thoughts seem to be very simple, there is something strange under her skirt, no matter what it is, she can't let people look at the bottom of her skirt in public, so that no matter what she has done before, she will only fall short.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xuanyi carried a person and threw it on the ground, and everyone was surprised. This is one of the few times that Xuanyi has appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the Gu snake refined by the Gu people, and she is the one who controls it." Xuanyi explained it succinctly.
When others saw the man on the ground, they might not know him, but when Ning Xiurong saw that person, he was so shocked that he almost fainted.
"Mingwei, that's Liang Xuan!"
"Yes, Niangniang, what did she do...... Mingwei was also nervous in her heart, Liang Xuan was Ning Xiu's person to the outside, they were all grasshoppers on a rope, if one of them suffered, the others should not think about it.
"The slave maid is just playing a tune in one person, the slave maid has nothing to do, and I ask the emperor to be gracious...... Liang Xuan begged for mercy vigorously, but she didn't know that begging for mercy was still a glimmer of life for anyone, but for Qi Yao, it was just a redundant step.
Xuanyi knew Qi Yao's thoughts best, and as soon as Qi Yao's brows twisted, Xuanyi pressed Liang Xuan's arm and clicked and removed her arm.
Liang Xuan screamed miserably, seeing Qi Yao's indifferent and ruthless face, thinking of the pain of Wen Rao's wasted hands, she didn't dare to play any tricks anymore, but hurriedly screamed before Xuanyi twisted her other arm: "It's Yingxiu, she asked me to do this!" ā
Wen Wan looked at this chaos and was very happy in her heart, and what was even more surprising was that this fire could still burn on Wen Ru's body, and she immediately turned her head to look at Wen Ru's expression.
It's just that Wen Ru's face is very indifferent, looking at her face, others will even consciously excuse her in their hearts, suing herself, it is her maid who is suspicious, then she must be an uninformed person.
Yingxiu had already been woken up by someone with a cup of cold tea, and she had been uneasy since Liang Xuan was pulled out, until Liang Xuan mentioned her, she had to speak, "Liang Xuan, do you know what you said yourself?!" ā
"Yingxiu, it was you who instructed me to frame Wen Rao." Liang Xuan's face turned white, and she held her arm and said with difficulty.
"Nonsense, I didn't!" Yingxiu flatly denied it.
"Heh, in order to defend your master, you naturally won't admit it." Liang Xuan sneered.
Yingxiu turned pale and lowered her head to avoid the inquiring gazes of the others around her.
Liang Xuan said it so clearly that Wen Ru couldn't avoid it no matter what.
She bit her lower lip, knelt aggrievedly to Qi Yao, and said, "The concubine will not do such a thing to her own sister, the concubine has a clear conscience, and please ask the emperor to learn clearly." ā
Qi Yao glanced at her, without any expression on his face.
While everyone was pondering each other, someone else stood up.
"Your Majesty, the slave just saw with his own eyes that she was the one who made trouble!" Changsheng walked out of the crowd, still pushing a person in his hand.
Wen Rao didn't feel any surprise when she saw Changsheng, but when she saw the person who Changsheng pushed out, her face showed a bit of astonishment.
Changsheng grabbed the man and knelt down, and said, "The minion saw with her own eyes that she deliberately opened the bolt of the window, and then the lights went out, and the minion was afraid that she would take advantage of the chaos to escape, so the minion grabbed her all the time." ā
"Who is this?" Qi Yao looked at Wen Ru.
Wen Ru's face suddenly became ugly, and Qi Yao asked her like this, which meant that he didn't trust her at all.
"I don't know." Wen Ru shook her head.
Wen Rao smiled secretly when she heard this.
Wen Ru's flaws were exposed here, and it was blamed on her for answering too cautiously.
Since she prides herself on her innocence and treats Wen Rao with sincerity, how can she not even know the only two maids around Wen Rao, this person is none other than Lin'er.
Le Niang, who had been injured earlier, looked at Lin'er carefully, hesitated again and again, and finally stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the slave and maid are not a momentary mistake. Rather, someone pushed the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid broke the strings...... Now that I think about it, before the lights went out, it was this girl who stood behind the slave. ā
Her words undoubtedly added strong evidence to Changsheng's words.
What they did was pointed at Wen Rao, and they didn't hesitate to make such a big move in order to frame her, how could such a maid dare to have such guts.
According to Liang Xuan's confession, it was Wen Ru who made Yingxiu bad, and Yingxiu found Liang Xuan and asked her to frame Wen Rao.
"Wen Xiang, what do you think?" Qi Yao was not in a hurry to listen to their conclusions, but only looked at Wen Houde slowly and asked.
It seems that this basket of things is all surnamed Wen, and it is understandable to ask him.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that everything must be evidenced." Wen Houde stepped forward unhurriedly, and swept his eyes over Wen Rao on the ground.
Qi Yao didn't speak, motioning for him to continue.
"Today's thought is that someone has been planning for a long time, Liang Xuan, let me ask you, which palace are you from?" Wen Houde has always been very calm, and he has not been flustered because of his daughter's affairs.
"Slave maid, slave maid is Ning Xiu's maidservant." Liang Xuan's voice gradually became quieter.
Ning Xiurong almost rolled her eyes and fainted when she heard this, she pushed Ming Wei away, pointed at Liang Xuan and said, "Liang Xuan, you don't do it yourself, don't want to frame me!" ā
Liang Xuan lowered her head and said: "Contouring, the slave and maid don't dare, this matter has nothing to do with contouring, it is the slave and maid who are tempted by the interests of others for a while, so they do such things." ā
Ning Xiurong heard this, and his expression eased, fortunately, this Liang Xuan is a good-eyed person.
"Your Majesty, you also heard it, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine." Ning Xiurong turned around to prove his innocence to Qi Yao.
Seeing that continuing to ask would only lead to an increasingly bad topic, Wen Houde had to turn around and ask Lin'er, "Which palace are you from?" ā
"The slave maid used to be Wen Rao's maidservant, and since Wen Rao was demoted, the slave and maid have no master." Lin'er said in a low voice, as if she was frightened.
"Since you are Wen Rao's person, why do you want to frame her? Whom are you instructed to? Wen Houde can ignore the word "once".
"The slave and maid are not instructed by anyone......" Lin'er was yelled at by him, and immediately cried, looking as if she was about to hold on.
Yingxiu shrank to the side, looking a little scared, and smoothed out her messy hair.
Wen Houde's sharp eyes saw that something was exposed at the mouth of Lin'er's sleeve, and with a flick of her wrist, a golden hairpin fell out and rolled to Qi Yao's feet.
Gao Lu bent over to pick it up, looked at it and felt a little familiar, and handed it to Qi Yao.
Qi Yao took it, only glanced at it, and then looked at Wen Rao.
Others don't know this Jin Hai, but Wen Rao can't help but know it.
This is the golden hairpin that Qi Yao gave her at the beginning.
"Ah......" Lin'er's face suddenly turned gray when she saw that the matter was revealed, and she looked at Wen Rao's eyes with apologies, "I'm sorry, the slave can't help you." ā
"Shut up!" Changsheng interrupted her angrily, "You are clearly in the same group as Yingxiu!" ā
Wen Houde narrowed his eyes carefully, and looked at Changsheng's gaze as if there was a warning: "Who are you, with a red mouth and white teeth, you have to be responsible for what you say." ā
"A slave is an immortal, and he is doing things in the Qianxin Palace at the moment." Changsheng replied, he struggled, glanced at Wen Rao, and decided to tell the story: "The slave once saw this person talking to Yingxiu in the woods. ā
"Yingxiu? Why is it Yingxiu again, isn't it really related to Concubine Mei? Ming Wei helped Ning Xiurong and said in a low voice.
"This kind of thing, who knows, but if there is no Wen Rao today, the person who wins must be Wen Ru, and now Wen Rao wins, but he pulls out this bunch of bad things, is it important whether it is true or false, it doesn't depend on who the emperor believes." Ning Xiurong snorted lightly.
"I know you, Changsheng, don't think that you can talk nonsense if you have a good relationship with Wen Rao, don't say whether I have spoken to Lin'er, even if I have said it, who stipulates that slaves and maids are not allowed to talk to each other, Niangniang has a good relationship with her sister, and if you treat Lin'er, why can't we talk?" Yingxiu was anxious to defend herself, but she couldn't prevent Wen Ru's previous words.
Wen Ru said that she didn't know Lin'er, if she didn't know her, how could she "treat Lin'er well"?
"But what I clearly heard was that you were plotting to frame Wen Rao, about her...... False pregnancy thing. As soon as Changsheng's words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Shut up!" Wen Houde rebuked him angrily.
Wen Ru's face was a little paler than Wen Rao's, and she seemed to be shaky.
Wen Wan moved, and Mrs. Ning hurriedly pressed her hand, "What are you going to do?" ā
"Mother, don't stop me, my sister can't support it anymore, how can we let that slut turn over." She raised an eyebrow.
"What can you do, don't make a mess, it's not child's play." Mrs. Ning said.
"Mother, what do you know, I'm just going to show my face." Wen Wan impatiently pushed Mrs. Ning away.
