Chapter 60: Ye's Fall
Sixi soon brought Cailan with him.
Yun tilted his gaze at Cailan and asked coldly, "Cailan, who instructed you to take the palace to the river to see the fireflies?" ”
Cailan's face was a little dodgy, and she barely calmed down: "No one instructed the slave maid, the slave maid saw that there were fireflies by the river, and thought that the mother would like it, so she took the mother to see it!" ”
"Oh, is that so?" Yun Tian asked rhetorically, "Don't you know that there are bees by the river?" ”
Cailan hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know! ”
"You're lying!" Yun Tian's brows furrowed deeply, in the face of such a betrayer, Yun Tian had no mercy in her heart, she said sharply, "If you don't know that there are bees by the river, why did you disappear when the bee colony came?" Where did you go then? ”
Cailan looked left and right, and said: "When the slave heard Niangniang's call for help, she knew that there was a bee swarm, so she went to call someone to save Niangniang!" ”
This is a clear lie!
At this moment, Xi Ze asked rhetorically, "Then why didn't I see you here asking for help?" ”
Cailan's face was flushed and she couldn't answer.
Xi Ze was furious and roared: "You obviously know that there is a bee colony by the river, why don't you say it quickly, who instructed you to bring the imperial concubine to the river?" ”
Cailan still had a stiff mouth, and only said: "No one instructed the slave maid, and the slave didn't know that there was a bee colony by the river!" The slave and maid are wronged, please let the emperor know! The slave is really wronged......"
Still shouting injustice? Things have developed to this point, Xi Ze saw that she refused to recruit, and he was impatient, so he turned his head and said to Sixi: "Serve with a cane, and beat him until he tells the truth!" ”
Sixi immediately received the order. Waving to the bottom, the executive attendant was soon in place, and the cane was executed in an orderly manner. This Cailan was very stubborn, tears overflowed her eyes, but she didn't shout. There was just a faint sound of whimpering. After a while, he lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.
The executive chamberlain stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help but be shocked, and reported to Xi Zeyu: "Your Majesty, she bit her tongue and committed suicide!" ”
Xi Ze was furious when he heard this. This damn slave would rather die than recruit, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "A bunch of waste! ”
The executive chamberlain was taken aback, and knelt down to ask for the sin: "The emperor forgives the sin!" ”
Xi Ze gasped coldly. Didn't say a word for a long time.
Yun tilted his eyes at the scene, angry and hateful, and said, "Who is trying to harm me?" ”
Xi Ze turned his head to look at Yun Tian, frowned, and said, "This is a method of using a swarm of bees." It's like Hsieh's technique! This is the only place where there is a trace! ”
"Xie?" Yun tilted his face in shock. Ask, "Is the bee venom in me the same as the poison you were in before?" ”
Xi Ze shook his head and said, "It's different, you're just ordinary bee venom!" So I also have doubts in my heart, and I can't be sure that it must be Xie! ”
Yun Tian quickly turned his mind, thinking back to the scenes that happened today, and finally said categorically: "It's not Xie's!" The bees raised by the Xie family are specially poisoned, and the purpose is to kill people. But the bees that came to attack me today are just ordinary swarms, and there are not many swarms that come today. I guess their purpose is just to ruin my appearance, not my life, this is a harem dispute, this Cailan is my maid, she committed suicide so suddenly, some things are too late to clean up, you send someone to search her house to see if you can find some clues! ”
What Yun Tian said was very reasonable, Xi Ze ordered Sixi to take someone to search Cailan's house.
Sixi led the order to execute it immediately, the waiting time was always very anxious, and the hall was quiet only to hear the faint and unchanging monotonous sound quality of the copper kettle dripping, and there was a sense of urgency dripping into ice around the surroundings, which made people tremble slightly.
Sixi soon brought something to Xi Ze, which was a letter.
Xi Ze picked up the letter and looked at it carefully, it contained all the matters concerning the secret order Cailan to murder the imperial concubine. This trace is very familiar, Xi Ze thought for a while, and suddenly threw the letter in front of Ye Jing'an very angrily, and asked sharply: "Concubine Yi, what do you explain to this letter?" ”
Ye Jing'an was shocked, she picked up the letter and saw that the notes on the letter were exactly the same as what she had written, and she couldn't help but sweat coldly behind her back, and immediately knelt down and argued: "The emperor Mingjian, the concubine is wronged, this letter was not written by the concubine!" The concubine is wronged! ”
"Wronged?!" Xi Ze asked rhetorically, "The handwriting on this is exactly the same as what you wrote, can I still admit my mistake?" ”
"This is forged by someone else's handwriting in imitation of the concubine's handwriting!" Ye Jing'an immediately replied, "The concubine has never written such a letter, and today's matter of the imperial concubine has nothing to do with the concubine!" ”
"Copied?" Xi Ze coldly recalled this sentence, when it came to imitating other people's handwriting, the first thing that came to Xi Ze's mind was Liu Manyu, but Liu Manyu is now grounded in Siyiju, and she has never had any holidays with Yun Tian, could it be her? Xi Ze summoned Sixi again and asked, "Recently, has the Liu family had any dealings with anyone other than Siyiju?" ”
Sixi thought for a while and replied, "No, the Liu family has always been very peaceful!" ”
Hearing this, Xi Ze turned his eyes to look at Ye Jing'an again, and said coldly: "The Liu family has no contact with anyone, so this letter can't be written by her!" Concubine Yi, you said this letter was forged? Who are you referring to to forge it? You're going to have to show the evidence! ”
Evidence? Now where is she going to find evidence! Ye Jing'an was a little dazed, and in the end, she could only try her best to remain calm and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, this letter is really not written by a concubine!" The imperial concubine's affairs today really have nothing to do with the concubines, the concubines are innocent, please believe in the concubines! ”
"Trust you? How to believe? Xi Ze said coldly, "You planted spies in the Chengguang Temple to monitor me, and brought the Manu from the hunting ground to Cangzhou, trying to blackmail the divine doctor into submission, interfere in the government, and almost cause turmoil in Cangzhou, do you think I don't know anything about these things?" ”
Ye Jing'an was like an electric shock when she heard this, but she didn't expect that Xi Ze knew so many things, cold sweat was not only oozing out from behind her, but it was already all over Ye Jing'an's forehead and temples at this time, which was particularly obvious, Ye Jing'an tried her best to stay calm, and said: "These are villains framing concubines, this is slander, concubines have never done these things, please believe in the concubines!" ”
Seeing that she refused to admit her guilt, Xi Ze was even more angry, and said angrily: "I have already found out all these things, who else do you want to blame?" I have repeatedly tolerated you, but for the sake of you having an heir, I didn't expect you to be unrepentant, and even worse, jealous of the imperial concubine, today you have harmed the imperial concubine, the evidence is conclusive, how can you deny it? Spread my will, go to the Ye family's title, be demoted to a nobleman, and be confined in the Guiyan Palace, and cannot be released for life! No one is allowed to visit at will! Execute it now!
