Chapter 31: Who's Instructing

"Miss, she just secretly put it on my hand. Yes, Miss, you also saw it, she moved so fast, she must have been annoyed and angry after we saw through it, so she planted it for me. ”

These words can also deceive the brainless Gao Yiyan, Xie Ning had no intention of carrying this black cauldron for Diancui, and immediately said loudly: "Your Highness, cousin Yan, is there a sentence that this girl said is true?" Leaving aside what she's wearing, she'll say first that I broke the jade braceletβ€”"

Without giving Diancui time to react, Xie Ning picked up the bracelet on the ground that had been knocked off, and said very quickly: "Look at this bracelet, it was obviously accidentally broken, how could it be that it was thrown to the ground?" ”

"Miss Xie is right," Gu Qingyun looked at Gao Yiyan thoughtfully, "If it is really a heavy fall, it should be broken into several petals." ”

"Miss, you have given me so many rewards on weekdays, do I still care about this bracelet?"

Since he had the guts to frame her, Dian Cui would make quibbles at this time, which naturally did not surprise Xie Ning.

"Cousin Yan, I remember you once told me that this jade bracelet is a birthday gift from the concubine Niangniang, not to mention crystal clear, there is a faint red line in it, right?"

Gao Yiyan's face turned pale, she didn't respond, and she staggered the eyes of the three people in the room with a weak heart.

"Yes, Sister Yan's bracelet is indeed worth a lot of money, but I'm afraid that I can't find the same jade bracelet in the capital."

"That's it," Xie Ning handed the bracelet in his hand to Gu Qingyun and smiled, "Miss Gu, can you help take a look, this bracelet is Cousin Yan's unusual jade bracelet?" ”

Gu Qingyun bowed slightly, "Exactly." Then he passed the things in his hand to Gao Yiyan.

"Diancui," Gao Yiyan took the bracelet and didn't look at it, so she slammed it on the ground, causing it to shatter in an instant, "What else do you have to say!" ”

"Miss, miss, you have to believe me." Diancui knelt on the ground, her body was spread out because she was frightened, and her voice was crying, "Miss, I am your personal maid, how can I not know what the jade bracelet looks like, and how dare I steal the things that the concubine gave me?" I'm not stupidβ€”"

After Diancui's words were paused, Xie Ning immediately reacted and mocked very quickly: "Yes, Miss Diancui is not a fool, but she clearly treats us all as fools." ”

As soon as the words landed, Gao Yiyan's face sank for a moment, and her eyes fell on Qin Feng and looked carefully.

Xie Ning saw the change in her eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how much she went to pains to clear herself.

"If I am the one who steals, why is there a jade bracelet on the ground? Could it be that I could have predicted that my cousin would invite me to come, and that you would not be able to play with me with the jade bracelet? Moreover, my father is also a court official who eats the king's fortune. Shainin is not good, and he will not steal other people's things. I don't know why you insist on doubting me. ”

"This time, I was not strict in discipline, which frightened my cousin." Due to Qin Feng's presence, Gao Yiyan's stiff face squeezed out a smile, and said dryly: "Yiyan is here to make amends, cousin don't mind." ”

Xie Ning should not mention it, but he inevitably felt some emotion in his heart.

Swapping the fake for the true, blaming others, Diancui's methods have obviously been seen through by her, if Gao Yiyan's ears are not so soft, and she can have even half a little trust in her, there will be no such many twists and turns.

Dian Cui, who was pierced with the thoughts in his heart, seemed to see Shainin's difficulty, so he no longer tried to climb, but tried his best to clear his name.

"Miss, Miss, this is all a misunderstanding. The slave didn't do it... The slave knows that she is wrong, Miss, for the sake of Diancui's loyalty...... Woo-"

Ignoring Dian Cui's cry of mercy, Gao Yiyan called a few servants, took off the jade bracelet in her hand, blocked her mouth, and was about to order someone to tie out the struggling Dian Cui, Qin Feng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "This king has something to ask her." ”

"Your Highness," Gao Yiyan suddenly reversed her previous arrogance, and said softly, "The evidence of Dian Cui's intention to steal the jade bracelet is already conclusive, why do you need to talk to such a lowly person?" ”

Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and he said pointedly: "Is the evidence conclusive, I'm afraid it may not be." ”

"Your Highnessβ€”"

"Sister Yan!" The hurried voice interrupted Gao Yiyan's words about to speak, Gu Qingyun glanced at her disapprovingly, turned around and commanded: "Your Highness has something to inquire about, why don't you untie her soon!" ”

"This king asks you, whose idea is this jade bracelet?"

As soon as Qin Feng's voice fell, the faces of several people in the room changed. Xie Ning knew that he would not ask for no reason, his heart sank, and he suddenly looked at Gao Yiyan in disbelief, his eyes were full of disappointment.

"Back to the prince," hurriedly glanced at Gao Yiyan, and Diancui replied stubbornly: "This matter is all the idea of the slave and maid. The slave coveted the jade bracelet of the young lady, and it happened that Miss Biao arrived today, and my young lady went out of the room again, so I pushed the boat down the river, slandered, slandered Miss Table. β€œ

Dian Cui's answer made Xie Ning suspicious, and she couldn't help but secretly guess that the other party might really be as Qin Feng implied in his words, and it was because he was instructed by others to frame her.

"Cousin Yan," Xie Ning said tentatively with an expressionless face, "Diancui wants to steal this bracelet, did you know beforehand?" I was framed for nothing, what are you going to do with her? ”

Gao Yiyan smiled on her face, "My cousin is really good at laughing." Diancui's thoughts, how can I know. As for what to do, it's up to me to wait for my mother to decide. ”

Qin Feng's eyes moved, and he was about to speak, but Xie Ning's clear voice came from his ears, "Cousin Yan is so protective of Diancui, could it be that what she did was instructed by you?" ”

Xie Ning is not a person who detours, she doesn't want to guess Gao Yiyan out of thin air, so she asks directly, hoping to get a frank response from the other party. After all, she took the risk of going against King Xuan yesterday to save this cousin.

didn't want Gao Yiyan to avoid Xie Ning's sight, and hurriedly defended: "I didn't." She is a maid in the house, and it is appropriate to leave her mother to deal with her mistakes, so how can she cover up? ”

"Heh," Xie Ning sneered to himself, a chill in his heart.

"If I am not mistaken, this bracelet should have been given by my father, cough, the concubine transferred it, it is a well-deserved royal gift, and now someone dares to steal this thing, cough cough, it should be severely punished."

Diancui's face turned pale, his hands and feet were spread on the ground weakly, and he whispered to forgive: "Please ask the prince to be merciful...... Slaves and maids don't. ”

Feeling Gu Qingyun's gaze, Qin Feng frowned slightly, and gently moved the gaze that fell on Xie Ning away without a trace.

"It's just a trivial matter, why do you bother asking, Your Highness, let Mrs. Jingyang Marquis decide."

"Miss Gu's words are wrong," Xie Ning shook his head with a straight face, and seeing that Qin Feng had no intention of answering, he took the opportunity to continue: "This girl not only stole the jade bracelet, but also reversed black and white, intending to tarnish my reputation. How can we make a big deal small? ”

Gu Qingyun sighed slightly in her heart, glanced at Gao Yiyan meaninglessly, and turned to Xie Ning and said, "Qingyun took the liberty to ask, I don't know what Miss Xie thinks?" ”

"Gao Jian can't talk about it, as His Royal Highness said, what Diancui stole is a gift from the emperor, and it should be reported to the palace and then disposed of."
