Chapter 31: Slander
Su Yingtong was dripping sweat, it turned out that the palace mirror domain was not generous, and he was always afraid that he would embarrass him, "Just ...... I've seen it for a while. "I didn't react until I finished speaking, why did she want to analyze it for him?" I said Xiangyuan Prince, this doesn't seem to be your business, right? Is it interrogating me now? ”
Seeing her little hedgehog erecting her full of protective thorns, her big eyes were also indignant, and she suddenly became cheerful, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised: "It's the king's mistake, and the princess shouldn't ask more about it." ”
"Count you enlightened."
Although I don't know how the Palace Mirror Domain was suddenly so easy to deal with, Su Yingtong didn't think too much, now is an extraordinary time, the royal family will take it very seriously when they encounter these things that dare to commit crimes to murder their masters, she only hopes that it will end sooner, and staying in this palace for one more minute will be a torment for her.
Turning his head and no longer raising the bar with Gong Jingyu, Su Yingtong pulled Xiao Zhao over and moved closer to her, she could still feel the child's fear, and it was inconvenient to speak now, so it was good to sit quietly beside him.
Xiao Zhao sat down next to Su Yingtong, in fact, he rarely saw the imperial uncle so angry, and he didn't understand what was going on, but he had his father and mother by his side, so it was okay.
"Say, who sent you?" At this time, Prince Jian stood up to interrogate the criminal, and there was silence in the hall, and the echo formed by his magnificent voice made the atmosphere even more tense, and the father-in-law lying on his stomach couldn't stop shaking, and he couldn't even say words begging for mercy.
When the first emperor was alive, Prince Jian was a general, and later Gong Yilin succeeded to the throne and slowly cut his power, but his fiery temper was as always, and now seeing that this old slave actually ignored his question, he couldn't control it anymore, and he was about to kick it when he raised his foot.
Now the father-in-law trembled even more, the brute strength of this former general is known to everyone, he is an old bone, if he really suffers this kick...... "The slave said, the slave said!" Be...... It's Miss Su! After speaking, he looked at Su Yingtong apologetically.
Su Yingtong can't keep up with the rhythm a little, is this a Shenma situation? Why did you get involved with her? Who does she know about him?!
Subconsciously looked at Gong Jingyu, Gong Jingyu was also looking at her, what was rare was that there was just boundless calm in his eyes, mixed with some other complicated feelings, she couldn't see it, but he didn't question her, she was a little comforted.
Anyway, they're in the same boat now.
Gong Jingyu didn't say anything, just took the handkerchief prepared on the desk and dried the sake that Su Yingtong accidentally knocked down on the table, so as not to sink down the table and stain her clothes, and whispered: "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”
Su Yingtong watched him slowly help her clean up the case, at this time he was still cold-faced, and he was not looking at her, but Su Yingtong looked at his side face that was more handsome in the light of the glass candlelight, and his heart really calmed down.
To outsiders, their appearance at this time is a bit out of place, but in all fairness, it is indeed a very harmonious picture.
"Princess Xiangyuan, how do you analyze it?"
Gong Yilin's low and angry question woke up Su Yingtong, Su Yingtong subconsciously stood up, saw that the emperor's face was really dark, and he was nervous again, and glanced at the so-called "witness", Su Yingtong forced himself to calm down, he was framed, but no matter how perfect the game is, there will be flaws, as long as you calm down, you will definitely be able to find out.
At this time, Su Yingtong was a little flustered, but more angry, what she was most unaccustomed to was bullying, these people really thought she was easy to bully? Relying on her power to design herself to death, she actually played in the palace, which really lifted her.
"Your Majesty, since it is related to the Xiangyuan Palace, I implore the criminal to explain the ins and outs, so that he can find out the truth as much as possible."
Gong Jingyu stood up and blocked in front of Su Yingtong to reply to the emperor's words, Su Yingtong looked at his back, he would actually help her? Aren't you afraid that you will disagree with his royal brother?
In fact, she is not a fool, the palace has always been heavily guarded, not to mention that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the dishes in the imperial dining room are prepared for the royal family and the ministers of civil and military affairs, so how can they be poisoned? The people in the palace are all vegetarians! Then there is only one analysis, this person who wants to harm her behind the scenes must not be an idle person, and his power in the palace is not small.
But who could this person be?
Su Yingrou used to offend a lot of people, but she was not so strict that she risked being discovered to make herself stumbling at the royal banquet.
Speaking of this, she, the daughter of the Su family, just has this kind of interest relationship with the royal family, and it just so happens that Su Zhihui is not here tonight, how can the emperor tolerate this kind of blatant contempt for the royal family? So...... Her eyes cooled, Su Yingtong looked at the palace mirror domain standing in front of her, her thoughts were sluggish for a moment, and her heart seemed to have collapsed, and her sullen breathing became difficult.
I didn't have any expectations from the beginning, so why did I feel uncomfortable?
Biting her lip tightly, Su Yingtong forced herself to come to her senses, since she was going to operate on herself, no matter whether she knew whether she was involved or not, she still had to rely on herself for everything, and she Su Yingtong would never be able to let others rub it round and flatten.
"Yes, if there is anything, you have to wait for it to be found out before making a conclusion, and the courtiers are willing to cooperate," Su Yingtong stood up from behind the palace mirror domain and responded, without looking at him, only said to the emperor, "In this case, the emperor doesn't mind the courtiers interrogating the criminals, right?" What is the result after that, obey the emperor's handling. It takes courage to say these words, Su Yingtong knew that if he hadn't said this, he might not even have a chance to defend himself, and now that he had said it to death, he could only gamble.
"In that case, Princess Xiangyuan, I hope you don't let me down," I didn't think that Su Yingtong really had the courage to bear it alone, Gong Yilin looked at her for a moment, and the smile on his lips became more and more unpredictable, "Then Princess Xiangyuan, I'll wait and see." ”
After saluting, Su Yingtong walked to the center of the main hall, and the criminal knelt there, looking at her intentionally or unintentionally just now, misleading everyone to think that she was the main culprit behind the scenes, but now it was as if her heart was empty, and she only knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look at her again. Su Yingtong's steps are extremely slow, approaching the criminal step by step, others only seem to know that she is dignified and temperamental at this time, but they don't know that she just wants to delay time.
With his mind spinning rapidly, Su Yingtong went through all the details in his mind, he really couldn't think of anything wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and then thought about the way the police interrogated the prisoners in the police movies he had seen in his previous life, organized a few sentences in his mind, and asked, "You say, what's your name?" ”
"Big ...... Miss, don't be kidding, you don't remember Xiaofuzi so soon? ”
Su Yingtong clenched his fists, this old eunuch is too cunning, his language is cautious, and he is really an old fritter mixed in the palace. "It turned out to be Xiaofuzi, then according to your meaning, when and where did I ask you to poison? Do you have any certificates? Think about it clearly, you know, bullying is a capital crime! ”
Xiaofuzi was frightened by Su Yingtong's last sentence, trembled even more, and didn't dare to raise his head, and said intermittently for a long time: "The emperor is wise, the villain did not deceive the king, half a month ago, the slave went out of the palace to buy vegetables and fruits for the imperial kitchen, but that day Miss Su was alone on the street for some reason, and there was not even a servant by her side...... It's the slave greed! Slaves deserve death! ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly and kowtowed, and tremblingly took out the golden hairpin in his arms, which was said to be a bribe, and handed it to the emperor's personal father-in-law, Su Yingtong glanced at it and saw that the golden hairpin was indeed expensive, and there was a word "soft" engraved on it, which seemed to be Su Yingrou's thing.
Su Yingtong was furious, and the evidence was all there, this play was so well arranged, she couldn't help but clap her palms.
But who would bribe someone with their personal belongings, or would they have their own name engraved? Rao is no matter how stupid Su Yingrou is, she won't be so brainless! But since it was Su Yingrou's thing, how could she explain that it would be in the hands of this eunuch? Isn't it someone close to you...... Feeling cold in his heart, Su Yingtong forced himself to put this matter down first, and the most important thing now is how to defend himself.
Her mind cleared, and she thought carefully about what the old eunuch said, half a month ago...... I didn't go out in women's clothes at all, but this father-in-law insisted that she looked for him during that time and gave him any instructions, even if the rhetoric was half-true, but if he couldn't come up with any evidence, what he said was the truth, and the royal family would really obey the public opinion in order to calm things down.
Don't say that he is already an enemy, and the emperor has always looked at himself unpleasantly, today is his home field, and it is not his word to deal with himself?
"Princess Xiangyuan, is this your thing, just check the roster records in the house, what is the explanation?"
Gong Yilin looked at her with a smile with a golden hairpin, but the smile was very gloomy, and Su Yingtong felt furious in his heart, and he unconsciously scolded Gong Yilin eight hundred times in his heart, the dead feudal stinky emperor really wanted to take the opportunity to convict her!
In such a bad situation, he put on a look of "no need to interrogate again, this is the truth", isn't it taking the opportunity to retaliate?
"The emperor laughed, can he convict his courtiers with just a hairpin? Isn't it too hasty? "Alluding to the fact that the stinky emperor has a head and no brains.
Gong Yilin smiled. He had never been robbed like this, especially in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice: "Then I have to take a good look and see what you can give me Princess Xiangyuan." ”
"Naturally, the courtiers will not disappoint the emperor." Turning his head to look at the old eunuch, Su Yingtong was very angry in his heart, why did this old eunuch do this? is so old, to say that it doesn't sound good, he is almost stretched out of his legs, and he is still working so hard to pit himself, what benefits can he receive to be so attractive?
"Xiaofuzi, did you really poison the dishes?"
"Yes, according to Miss Su's instructions......"
There was a gasp all around.
Su Yingtong glanced at it, some people were happy and some were worried, looking at Xiao Zhao's anxious eyes, Su Yingtong felt a little uncomfortable, he was the little son of Xiangyuan Palace, this kind of thing will be more in the future, now she is his mother, it should be very uncomfortable to see his mother being interrogated in front of so many people, and his father, I don't know if he is involved.
Without looking at the palace mirror domain, Su Yingtong retracted her thoughts and sorted out the current situation, there are all human and material evidence, her "crime" seems to be confirmed, although there are many loopholes, but this is the palace, how the situation develops, she can't do anything at all.
"Princess Xiangyuan, do you have any evidence to prove that this was not instructed by you? Or do you simply not know what these drugs are? ”
Gong Yilin's question was very sarcastic, and he looked at Su Yingtong with the same eyes
looked at the prey in the iron cage, watched the prey struggle and went crazy, while he was watching the show comfortably.
For the first time, Su Yingtong hated the evil feudal society so much.
Trying her best to control her good feelings, her eyes glanced at the physical evidence on the table, all wrapped in paper, she didn't know what was inside, but she couldn't just say that she didn't know anything, didn't such a pale language make others laugh to death?
Organizing all kinds of details in his mind, Su Yingtong thought about it and felt that he couldn't start from the details of things, unless-
It seemed that something flashed through his mind, but Su Yingtong couldn't catch it, his mind was still blank, Su Yingtong couldn't help but be a little anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more messy his mind became.
"Princess Xiangyuan, what is the emperor asking you?"
Gong Yilin's father-in-law reminded Su Yingtong, but Su Yingtong still stood still as if he hadn't heard it, as if his thoughts had not returned.
Gong Jingyu's eyes darkened.
Rationally told him that he should do something as her nominal husband, but when Su Yingtong interrupted him just now and took this responsibility alone, her attitude was already very clear.
She didn't want him to make a move at all.
"Princess Xiangyuan?"
"What?"
Su Yingtong finally came back to her senses, looking at her father-in-law who was looking at her with "concern", no, what did Gong Yilin say just now? Su Yingtong's eyes lit up: "What did you say?" ”
"The emperor asked you."
"No, last sentence."
"Uh...... The emperor asked you if you had any evidence to prove your innocence, or did you not know what these drugs were? "My father-in-law was asked by Su Yingtong for some reason.
Su Yingtong patted her head, yes, she was too preconceived, she didn't know what those were at all, how could she think that she was directing the "poisoning".
Seizing the last glimmer of hope, Su Yingtong asked rhetorically: "What my father-in-law said is so good, this concubine also wants to know what those are, and I ask my father-in-law to explain it in detail." ”
"What did the princess say, how could you not know?" Gong Yilin said. Su Yingtong's struggle was too weak, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it turned out that this was Princess Xiangyuan, he thought there would be any surprises, and it seemed that it was nothing more than that.
"The emperor decided that it was the courtier's order? No, as the king of a country, he made a conclusion without a conclusion, and the courtiers believed that the emperor would not mislead the civil and military officials so much. ”
Seeing that Gong Yilin's face darkened, Su Yingtong snorted coldly, I will never let you succeed if you kill the stinky emperor with a thousand knives.
"Didn't you say that there is evidence, and you should always let someone test it, otherwise the emperor himself has the final say, and it doesn't seem to be convincing enough."
Gong Yilin's face darkened, how could he have the feeling of being led by Su Yingtong's nose?
