Chapter Seventy-Nine: Searching for Rumors

Shen Luyi also sighed when he heard this, and said: "Why do you work so hard for Niangniang, then Shu's has no background, and the emperor has only seen it once, if there is no special advice, Niangniang is perfunctory, you don't really have to find out the real murderer, even if you find it out, you can't be convicted of capital crimes, offend people in vain, Niangniang offends people for Shu's family, it's really not worth it!" It's already very hard for Niangniang to take care of the harem every day, now, let's rest first! ”

Wang Ningxuan shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not that this palace wants to stand up for the Shu clan and provoke the person who caused trouble, it's just that ...... This palace wholeheartedly hopes that the harem will be peaceful and the concubines can get along harmoniously, but now that there is such a person, if this palace does not check, it will be difficult to feel at ease after all! You can't have the heart of harming people, but you can't have the heart of defending people! ”

"That's what the mother said! Such a person must be guarded against, and he must be carefully guarded! Hearing this, the dark green clothes continued: "But it was dark at that time, and everyone didn't see it clearly, and there was no way to start, so did Niangniang know what was wrong with the water in the small river?" ”

Wang Ningxuan still shook his head: "The imperial doctor has seen it, and he can't tell what kind of poison it is!" ”

Shen Luyi was a little deflated: "I don't know any of this, so how can this matter be investigated?" ”

Wang Ningxuan frowned and said: "This matter was thought about all night yesterday, since the situation at the time of the incident cannot be verified, then it can only be investigated from the source!" ”

"Niangniang is talking about the so-called rumor that you can get the emperor's luck by putting a wishing lamp by the river?" Shen Luyi asked.

Wang Ningxuan nodded: "Exactly!" This rumor came from a bit strange, there is no such rumor. The show girls won't go to the river! This palace suspects that this is a pre-set bureau, and the person who released this rumor is likely to be the one who stretched out his hand to push Shu's that night! ”

Shen Luyi nodded when she heard this: "Niangniang's analysis is very reasonable!" ”

That's when it happened. Ling Wei walked into the Chaofeng Palace, followed by another slave.

Wang Ningxuan looked at Ling Wei and said to Shen Luyi, "There's news back!" ”

Ling Wei reported to Wang Ningxuanyu: "Qi Yu Niangniang, after the slave and maid's investigation, that rumor came out of the mouth of this slave named Hui Tao!" ”

Wang Ningxuan looked at Hui Tao, only to see her kneeling on the ground, neither humble nor silent.

Wang Ningxuan raised his eyebrows slightly. asked: "Painted Tao, that rumor about the magic of the river outside Yuxiu Palace was deliberately released by you?" ”

Etao replied: "Hui Niangniang's words, it wasn't the slave maid who said it on purpose. But there was such a rumor in the palace, and there were many slaves and maids in Yuxiu Palace who knew about this rumor, and it was not only the slaves and maids who were saying it, everyone said so! ”

This answer is very suspicious. Wang Ningxuan looked at this painted peach carefully. He asked again: "You don't want to interrupt, this palace only asks you, is the rumor you put it on the show girls?" ”

Ei Tao immediately shouted wronged: "Niang Niang Mingjian, the slave maid has no courage to spread any rumors, just chatting with the palace people casually in his spare time, and the slave and maid don't know how the show girls know!" Please Niangniang, the slave is innocent! ”

When Ling Wei heard this, she frowned and said angrily: "How can you be presumptuous in front of Niangniang!" Empress. The slave asked the palace people who were waiting for the little masters in Yuxiu Palace, and they all said that this rumor was first told to them by this painted peach. If she didn't say it, how could the show girls know! ”

However, before Wang Ningxuan had time to ask, Hui Tao hurriedly exclaimed: "Niangniang Mingjian, the slave is really wronged!" The slave and maid have been wronged......"

Wang Ningxuan had a headache when he heard this, and shouted: "Enough! ”

Painted peach stopped at this time!

Wang Ningxuan looked at Painted Tao very seriously, and said, "This palace has been investigated, what are you still shouting about injustice?" Hongu asks you, who instructed you to release that rumor? Now to be honest, this palace can still treat you lightly, if you still want to hide it, don't blame this palace for being unkind to you! ”

Painted Tao trembled in fright, and said for a while: "Niangniang Mingjian, no one instructed the slave to release that rumor, the slave and the maid are really just chatting, casually, Niangniang Mingjian, the slave and maid are wronged......"

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily to Wang Ningxuan.

Wang Ningxuan was very depressed when he saw this, gasping heavily, and did not say a word.

At this moment, Shen Luyi said: "Niangniang, now the slaves and maids are very tight, and they won't tell the truth without some punishment!" Niangniang really doesn't have to be polite to them! ”

She said coldly, but Hui Tao was cold behind her back, and began to shout again: "Niangniang, spare your life, the slave and maid are really wronged, and the slave and maid are innocent!" Mother, mother, mother, ......"

Wang Ningxuan had a headache when he heard this, and interrupted sharply: "Enough!" If you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, bring it to this palace! Let's be honest yet! ”

But Eitao's rhetoric still hasn't changed: "Niang Niang Mingjian, there is really no one to instruct the slave and maid, every qiē is an accident, it has nothing to do with the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are wronged, and the mother spares her life......"

Wang Ningxuan had a headache when he saw this, Shen Luyi still wanted to speak, but Wang Ningxuan raised his hand to stop him: "Forget it, since no one instructed it, it was an accident, you can go back, carefully your words and deeds in the future, don't make trouble, otherwise this palace will never be spared!" ”

Painted peach was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you Niangniang!" Then he left the Chaofeng Palace.

Looking at Painted Peach's back, Shen Luyi had a trace of doubt and asked, "Why did Niangniang let her go!" This slave is very problematic! ”

Wang Ningxuan was very sure, she instructed Ling Wei: "Ling Wei, you immediately send someone to keep an eye on this painted peach, and then release the news that she has come to the middle palace for trial today, and see if there is any change!" ”

Only then did Shen Luyi come to his senses and praised: "Niangniang's trick to lure the snake out of the hole is really wonderful!" Now wait for the man to show his fox tail on his own! ”

Wang Ningxuan smiled slightly and said, "To survive in this harem, everyone likes to commit the same disease, that is, suspicion!" This is the weakness of human nature, and it is also the foundation of living in this deep palace, in this palace, there is no feeling of faith, and the feelings between people are more fragile than a hair, and they will be broken when they are pulled! So, no one can rest assured of anyone! ”

There was a feeling of desolation, and a trace of compassion surged into Shen Luyi's heart, she looked at Wang Ningxuan, and said with great sincerity: "What about others, the concubine can't control it, the concubine only follows her own heart, and the concubine's heart is always involved with Niangniang, and she advances and retreats together with Niangniang!" ”

Wang Ningxuan looked back at Shen Luyi and smiled with satisfaction: "Your mind is naturally understood by this palace, in this harem, this palace is lucky, no one else can be trusted, but this palace can believe you, and only you can make this palace convinced!" ”

When their eyes met, they smiled at each other, and they were all silent. (To be continued.) )
