There are people coming and going in Chuxiu Palace, even if something is found in her house, it can't be directly identified as hers, right?

"Mama Li, are you mistaken?"

Empress Yang spoke lightly.

With a soft color in his eyes, he glanced at Lin Jue standing in the hall by the way.

"Hui Niangniang, this is not the slave maid who found it alone, nor is it the slave maid who is telling the truth, these things were found in Miss Lin's house today, but there are many people present."

Mama Li is imposing, but she is a little aggrieved in the face of Queen Yang. It's as if she's just stating the facts, but she's still being slandered. And that person is Lin Jue.

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes with everyone, even if you gave the slave and maid hundreds of dares, the slave wouldn't dare to talk nonsense."

"Did you all see that?"

Empress Yang asked the palace maids and eunuchs standing next to her.

As soon as these people heard the questioning, they knelt down one after another, nodded directly and admitted it, and several of them also described the process of discovering the laxative in great detail.

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted to Lin Jue again.

Lin Jue was speechless.

Anyway, her words are still the same as just now, even if they are found in her house, Chu Xiu Palace is full of people on weekdays, the door of the house has never been closed, and the house is not lived by her alone, can it be determined that it is hers just by finding these things under her bed and in the cabinet?

"I'm still the same as I just said." , Lin Jue looked up at everyone, "It's true that these things were found in my house, but how do you prove that this thing is mine?" And how can I prove that I am the one who drugged the food? ”

"Yes, the things in this palace, sometimes I can't say a word or two, even if I find these in Yun Shu's house, I can't just assume that it's hers......"

Empress Dowager Xiao spoke.

These people are really annoying, the show girl eats a bad stomach, and the draft will be rescheduled. also Xingshi moved the crowd to Chuxiu Palace, so "there are no silver three hundred taels here", at first glance, there is a problem.

"Yes, Mama Li, if you don't have other evidence, you just talk nonsense here, confuse the public and slander Miss Lin, this palace will not spare you!"

Empress Yang also spoke.

But when she heard Lin Jue's words, she felt inexplicably weird.

Hasn't this Mama Li always been her confidant, in this scene, if she hadn't supported her behind her back, would this Mama Li dare to be so arrogant as a subordinate?

Sure enough, being scolded by Queen Yang like this, Mama Li began to look at the Queen Mother with some pity and said, "The Queen Mother, you don't know, just by looking at these things you found, it really can't be said that Miss Lin did it, but someone saw Miss Lin sneakily running to the kitchen in the middle of the night last night......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly looked at Lin Jue with a strange look in their eyes. Lin Jue was also a little helpless.

It seems that she ran to the kitchen last night, and sure enough, she was discovered.

However, if that's the case, isn't Nangong Yi also discovered? But why didn't the other party directly identify it on the spot? If it was really discovered, and that person didn't come out to identify him, was he afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with Nangong Yi? Still is...... Is this in itself a huge conspiracy?

"Mama Li, you have to have a credential to speak, what is Yun Shu going to the kitchen to do this big night?"

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help frowning.

These people know how to stir up trouble all day long, so can't they be more peaceful?

"Yes, Mama Li, don't talk nonsense, how could Miss Lin run over there for no reason this big night?"

Empress Yang looked at Mama Li and asked, her voice full of disbelief.

"Queen Mother, Niangniang, the slave really didn't talk nonsense, last night, someone did see Miss Lin running to the kitchen when everyone was asleep, and more than one person saw ......"

Mama Li is full of confidence.

When Empress Yang heard this, she looked at her and asked, "Oh? Several people saw it, but what about those people? Everything has to have a basis, but you can't just say it casually! ”

As if it had been agreed in advance, as soon as Empress Yang's voice fell, several people walked in from outside, two palace maids and two eunuchs, who seemed to be keeping vigil in Chuxiu Palace.

"Did you see Miss Lin last night?"

Empress Yang asked sharply.

"If there is half a lie, it is a capital offense!"

"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is true, the slave maid was on duty in Chuxiu Palace last night, about a few hours ago, I saw someone come out of the No. 4 wing next to it, and walked in the direction of the kitchen......

After this palace maid finished speaking, another eunuch also spoke, "Niangniang, the slave was also on duty in Chuxiu Palace last night, and the slave didn't see Miss Lin come out of the wing, but the slave saw Miss Lin walk into the kitchen......"

"Niangniang, the slave was on patrol last night, and when I passed by the kitchen, I heard someone talking, a man and a woman, as if they were discussing something......"

The four people went down one after another, basically describing the picture of Lin Jue going to the kitchen in the dark to do bad things during the third watch in the middle of the night.

Hearing this, Lin Jue was a little bitter.

That's right, she did go to the kitchen in the middle of the night last night, but she was hungry and went to find something to eat, what does it have to do with drugs?

But now, it seems a little unclear. If the truth is that it was because they were hungry and looking for something to eat, would anyone believe it?

"The queen mother, the mother, the slave maid has another evidence-"

Mama Li is now full of spring breeze, and the more she talks, the more proud she becomes.

"If there is any evidence, let's say it together, what are you doing in the east and west?!"

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her.

Seeing it like this, Mama Li's original high interest was half gone, and her arrogance was half shorter, so she hurriedly let another so-called "witness" walk in.

When Lin Jue saw this witness clearly, he couldn't help but be startled.

Well, she's a tree down now, and anyone who is going to step forward and kick her into a well, right?

"You're the show girl this time?"

Empress Dowager Xiao watched Ying Ying walk in, and Hua Wu, whose face was still a little pale, asked.

She really doesn't like people who are not upset about their duties, there have always been many things in the palace, but there is no need to intervene in everything, otherwise, you are busy all day long, and you can't take care of it. The most important thing for people is to be content with their duties, especially in the harem where there are many things, and they must be more cautious in what they say and do.

And like the person in front of her, no matter whether what she said this time is true or not, she can't pass this level in the first place.

"Yes." Hua Wu replied very obediently.

This is the first time she has spoken to Empress Dowager Xiao since she entered the palace, and she can't help but be a little nervous. However, thinking that Lin Jue could get Empress Dowager Xiao's blue eyes inexplicably, this made her heart feel sour.

"What do you want to say when you come here?"

Empress Dowager Xiao asked with a smile.

The competition between show girls has always been fierce, and it is understandable that there are some small movements with each other. But if you choose to attack Lin Jue, it will be too unwise, it can be said to be stupid.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the folk girl lived in the same room with Lin Xiu, last night, the folk girl slept until the middle of the night and woke up, and found that the girl Lin who was on the other side of the bed was no longer there. Until she went out this morning, the folk girl still didn't see Miss Lin come back......"

After Hua Wu finished speaking, she stood cautiously to the side.

Lin Jue stood in place, listening quietly, she didn't deny that she went to the kitchen last night, but it was because she was hungry to find food. Who would have thought that Huang Que was behind, he had already been targeted by others, went to the kitchen, and became the mastermind behind the drug of Xiu Nu with conclusive evidence!

"Second Miss Lin, you also heard it just now, so many people all said that they saw you go to the kitchen last night, do you need to explain this?"

Empress Yang looked at her lovingly and asked.

Such a look reminded Lin Jue of a certain time many years ago, when Empress Yang called her to Xingde Palace, and knocked on her seriously, telling her not to expect to marry the sixth prince.

The past was vivid, and she was suddenly a little curious, she didn't know how the six princes felt when she was such a strong mother.

"Yun Shu, don't be afraid, just tell the truth."

Empress Dowager Xiao saw Lin Jue stunned there with some hesitation, thinking that she was worried, so she opened her mouth to comfort her.

The more she was like this, the more embarrassed Lin Jue became. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would disappoint Empress Dowager Xiao, who had always believed in her.

God, she did go to the kitchen last night, but she really didn't do any other actions in the kitchen, which is obviously a very clear thing, but now that so many people say it, it seems that as long as she admits that she went to the kitchen, she can be determined to be the murderer......

"Queen Mother, Niangniang, don't hide it from everyone, I did go to the kitchen last night-"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere around him instantly dropped to freezing.

It seems that Lin Jue doesn't need to say anything anymore, and even if it is true, it seems to be explaining and quibbling.

"Niangniang, you see, the slave maid did not slander Miss Lin."

The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and Mama Li's arrogance rose again.

She tilted her head, looked at Lin Jue, and said in a very annoying tone, "Miss Lin, just tell the truth, right?" There are so many show girls, who have no grievances with you, what kind of intentions do you have to bear to attack them?! ”

In the midst of his arrogance, he suddenly felt a cold light pass through his body, and then Empress Dowager Xiao's voice sounded, "It's not your turn to question here, right?!" ”

No matter how much the queen is in power, she is not as big as the queen mother, and it is not a good thing to offend the queen mother. When Mama Li heard this, she almost softened at the moment, and knelt directly in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao, begging for mercy with a panicked face, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the slave is guilty, begging the Queen Mother to spare her life-"

"Even if you are a minion, you must know your duty!"

Empress Dowager Xiao said lightly, and then stopped paying attention to her. Mama Li is Queen Yang's confidant, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, since the master is here, she doesn't have to waste time taking care of this idle matter. If Empress Yang is interested, next, she knows what to do.

Sure enough, I heard Queen Yang speak, "Bold minion, so rude, don't hurry up and slap your mouth!" Retire! ”

Mama Li was stunned for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and slapped her mouth. The voice is very loud, the speed is not slow, and in the blink of an eye, both sides of the face are already red.

"Alright, stand down—"

Empress Dowager Xiao spoke.

Mama Li seemed to be relieved, fell to the ground and kowtowed to thank her, and then walked away with her tail between her legs.

But she is gone, but this matter still has to be investigated.

Lin Jue is still on the cusp.

"Lin Xiu, in the middle of the night last night, what did you do in the kitchen? Is it because you are hungry and looking for something to eat? ”

After punishing Mama Li, Queen Yang was actually very unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't make a seizure on her face, so she had to continue to target Lin Jue with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

Lin Jue was speechless and choked.

God, she just went to find food because she was hungry, but now that she says it, will anyone believe it? Whatever, she's telling the truth anyway, and whether anyone believes it or not, she has to say it.

"Hui Niangniang, when I had dinner yesterday, I ate relatively little, and in the middle of the night, I was woken up by hunger, and I really couldn't sleep, so I got up and went to the kitchen, trying to find some leftover things to eat......"

Lin Jue answered honestly.

Empress Dowager Xiao listened from above, and she couldn't laugh out loud.

Although it is a bit inconsistent with everyone's demeanor to run to the kitchen in the middle of the night to find something, if the other party is Lin Jue, she still believes it.

"Oh?" When Empress Yang heard her answer, she laughed, "Is it really because I'm hungry?" ”

Other people, although they didn't dare to whisper openly because of the presence of Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Yang, the gaze projected over them really revealed their disdain, did bad things, and wouldn't find a good reason to lie? Really hungry? How could it be so coincidental that I wasn't hungry in the morning, I wasn't hungry in the evening, but I was hungry last night?

"It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but it's really because I'm hungry."

Lin Jue was a little helpless.

This time, maybe even Nangong Yi didn't expect that the two of them would fall directly into the trap designed by others.

"Hungry, looking for something to eat all night?"

Empress Yang raised her eyebrows, and the expression on her face was still smiling.

Lin Jue was shocked!

This one is over.

How could she have forgotten about this more strict matter? Last night, she followed Nangong Yi to the small courtyard behind the palace, and didn't come back until this morning. During this time, it is even more unclear than going to the kitchen to find food hungry.

How do you say that?

Lin Jue is not good at answering casually. Because it also involves the issue of Nangong Yi, she can't tell whether Empress Yang has discovered Nangong Yi now, or rather, she has already discovered Nangong Yi, but what to do next Lin Jue is not clear, if she answers so rashly, maybe she will fall for her plan again.

After thinking about it like this, on the surface, it seemed that Lin Jue was stunned there, and he hadn't answered Queen Yang's question for a long time.

"Miss Lin, what's wrong? Need to give you some time to reminisce? ”

Empress Yang saw that Lin Jue didn't answer for a long time, so she asked with a smile.

Lin Jue was a little embarrassed.

How should she answer this time gap?

It's not that it's hard to answer, but after the answer comes out, it is a little difficult to let Queen Yang find out the flaws. (To be continued.) )
