51. The truth is gradually revealed
() The eldest maid behind the concubine, Baoyu, saw the face of the little eunuch and collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Excellent! You've already recognized it, haven't you? Emperor Hui's voice sounded coldly in Baoyu's ears.
Concubine Ru's face changed, she thought of a possibility, looked at Baoyu with a cruel gaze, and said coldly, "What's the matter?" What are you still hiding from me? Kindness? ”
Baoyu listened to Concubine Ru's gloomy voice, and then thought of Concubine Ru's words last time, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"Tell me what's going on." Emperor Hui looked at Concubine Ru's appearance, very dissatisfied, frowned and said: "Concubine Ru is a little restless, why be so anxious!" ”
"Your Majesty! I don't know anything! Baoyu came back to his senses and shouted.
"Humph! You dare to deceive the emperor, I didn't know that you would be paralyzed on the ground in fright just now! When Gonggong Guo saw Emperor Hui's unhappy face, he immediately jumped out and pointed at Baoyu and shouted.
Baoyu hurriedly knelt up straight and shouted, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged!" This little eunuch was so bold that he once wanted to forcibly insult the slave and maid, so he was afraid when he saw him. After Baoyu finished speaking, he made a panicked look.
"Nonsense!" Emperor Hui was furious, and glanced at Gonggong Guo with one eye.
The cold sweat on Guo's father-in-law's face immediately broke out, but he didn't bother to wipe it, and shouted to the little eunuch on the stretcher: "Xiao Shunzi, tell me what is going on." ”
Xiao Shunzi struggled to get up, kowtowed, lay on the ground and said: "That was half a month ago, Sister Baoyu took 10 taels of silver to me, and asked the slave to secretly spread the news that Imperial Doctor Wenxing and Concubine Hua had an affair while gambling."
Before Xiao Shunzi finished speaking, Baoyu pounced on Xiao Shunzi.
But it was separated by two guards carrying stretchers.
Baoyu screamed: "I don't even know you, when did you give you the silver, why did you slander me so much!" ”
After speaking, Baoyu cried and said to Emperor Hui: "Your Majesty, don't believe him, it's just that he is rude and slanders slaves!" ”
Xiao Shunzi was pounced on by her and was speechless for a moment.
Gonggong Guo saw that the emperor's face was not good-looking, so he made a face, and suddenly two eunuchs stepped forward and sealed Baoyu's mouth with a cloth.
"Xiao Shunzi, don't be afraid, you go on!" Guo Gonggong said pleasantly.
Xiao Shunzi settled down and continued: "At first, the slave was unwilling, but later Sister Baoyu said that as long as the slave can handle this matter well, she will form a pair with the slave. The minions did not resist the temptation, and secretly spread the news that night while gambling money. ”
Xiao Shunzi took a breath and continued: "Later, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, but I also gave it up for the sake of Baoyu. Fortunately, although the matter spread in the palace, no one found out about the minion. ”
In the afternoon of the next day, Baoyu suddenly asked the servants to meet in the small garden. The minion was both nervous and excited, but as soon as he arrived in the small garden, Baoyu actually wanted to kill the minion, and when the minion was defenseless, he plunged a knife into the minion's heart! After saying that, Xiao Shunzi untied his clothes, and sure enough, he could see a deep knife cut.
It's a pity that she doesn't know that the position of the minion's heart has been different from someone else's since she was a child. only to let the minions escape. Xiao Shunzi gasped and coughed.
There was a sudden burst of discussion in the court.
Emperor Hui nodded, motioned to remove the cloth from Baoyu's mouth, and asked lightly, "Baoyu, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Baoyu knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is just Xiao Shunzi's one-sided words, and the slave and maid are not convinced!" The slave maid has never done such a thing, if the emperor thinks that the slave maid is wrong, just kill the slave maid, don't splash dirty water on the slave maid! After saying that, Baoyu lay his head on the ground and did not speak again.
"Haha!" Hui Di suddenly laughed, patted the armrest of the dragon chair with his hand, and said, "Okay! All right! I don't want to be a loyal martyr, Xiao Shunzi, do you have anything else to say? ”
Xiao Shunzi looked at Baoyu's appearance, took out a handkerchief and 10 taels of silver from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Baoyu who bought my silver, and please ask the emperor to see it!" ”
Emperor Hui nodded, and the Guo Gong Guild willingly stepped forward to accept the handkerchief and silver, took it and took a closer look, and immediately pointed to the corner of the handkerchief, and said softly to Emperor Hui, "Your Majesty, look! ”
Emperor Hui nodded, looked at Baoyu, and shouted, "Bold Baoyu, what else do you have to say?" ”
Baoyu saw Xiao Shunzi take out a handkerchief, and his face was as dead as ashes, and he trembled and said, "The slave confesses!" Speechless! ”
