Chapter 67: Gathering and confronting
Xiao Qianyu rubbed Huang Yining's fragrant shoulder with his palm, and after listening to her words, he didn't immediately say anything, but just groaned silently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Doesn't the emperor believe in his concubines?" Huang Yining hurriedly raised his head, sat up, and looked at him nervously.
Xiao Qianyu smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"How could I not believe Ning'er. I will summon Concubine Xian and Su Baolin to interrogate tomorrow, as for Fang Yayue...... After all, he is a foreign minister, so he doesn't need to be alarmed first. ”
"Yes." Huang Yining's heart began to feel apprehensive.
On the second day, after a group of people gathered in the Yangxin Palace, Xiao Qianyu asked straight to the point: "Concubine Xian, have you been to Zhengyang Palace yesterday?" ”
Before being called, Tong Jinghe knew that the emperor summoned him today, and he was afraid that Huang Yining would play right and wrong in front of the emperor again.
"Back to the emperor, yesterday's concubine was invited by the queen's mother, and Su Baolin, Fang Guogong and Fang Gongzi were invited to Zhengyang Palace."
"Invite?" Xiao Qianyu looked at Huang Yining in confusion, but saw that the latter looked slightly uneasy, as if he was in the middle of the matter.
"Exactly." Tong Jinghe replied with a smile. She didn't believe it, Huang Yining even had to deny this, obviously she invited the three of them over, if she denied it now, it means that when she invited them at that time, she had a ghost in her heart.
Fortunately, Huang Yining has no objection to this.
"Then later, in Zhengyang Palace, what happened?" Xiao Qianyu asked.
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang invited the concubines to come over yesterday, for a finch. Niangniang said that it was her favorite finches, but she was depressed for days, so she wanted to ask Fang Gongzi, who was good at ventriloquism, to learn the sound of its chirping, so that she could go to the deep mountains, where this kind of finch haunts, and use her cry to attract another one back. He also asked Su Baolin, who was good at depiction, to depict the appearance of the finch, so that Fang Gongzi could take it with him for reference. Tong Jinghe told Xiao Qianyu what happened in Zhengyang Palace yesterday in one breath.
Xiao Qianyu has been hearing it until now, but she has not heard any changes from Tong Jinghe and them.
If Ning Er invited them to Zhengyang Palace by herself, everything here should have been prepared by the people of Zhengyang Palace, so it would be impossible to say that Concubine Xian wanted to be unfavorable to the queen. If you want to say that the queen wants to be unfavorable to the virtuous concubines, Xiao Qianyu still believes it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianyu turned to ask Huang Yining: "Ning'er, what Concubine Xian said, is it true?" ”
Huang Yining thought about it for a while, and then nodded reluctantly: "That's the case." ”
"Since that's the case, all the people in Zhengyang Palace are yours, and then you were drugged, how could it be that the virtuous concubines did it?" Xiao Qianyu directly asked the doubts in his heart.
Tong Jinghe was taken aback: "The queen mother was drugged?" When did the concubine not know? ”
Su Qiaotong was also surprised: "We don't know about this at all." ”
"Humph! You don't know? The only one who came to this Zhengyang Palace yesterday was you. Who else did it if it wasn't you? Huang Yining's anger increased sharply.
"Wronged, mother." Tong Jinghe hurriedly knelt down and shouted grievances. Su Qiaotong also followed her and knelt down, but the look on her face was uncertain.
Yesterday's incident, she was also present, obviously there was nothing abnormal, when they left, Huang Yining was also decent, why did she suddenly say that she was drugged today? Could it be that she was just cleverly framing herself and Concubine Xian in front of the emperor?
"I was also here yesterday, as Concubine Xian said, we were invited by the queen to come here to see the melancholy finch. It didn't take long to stay, because the jade ornaments in the palace of Concubine Xian were damaged by wild cats, so we hurriedly left. Before leaving, we didn't find Niangniang...... What's so unusual. Su Qiaotong spoke softly and expressed her doubts, and her eyes glanced at Huang Yining from time to time.
I saw that Huang Yining was getting more and more angry in the process of listening to her, and when she finished speaking, she couldn't help but be angry: "What do you mean by this? Do you suspect that this palace is making something out of nothing and deliberately falsely accusing you? ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Su Qiaotong hurriedly lowered her head.
"Ning'er, don't be impatient." Xiao Qianyu's palm pressed lightly, signaling her not to be so angry.
"Since you all refuse to admit it, then you can only summon Cheng Feng and Fang Yayue into the palace and confront them face to face." Xiao Qianyu looked at everyone majestically and said loudly.
Tong Jinghe looked indifferent and shrugged her shoulders.
Su Qiaotong couldn't wait for the emperor's order, everyone confronted each other, and they knew who was lying and who was framing others.
Soon, Fang Yayue and Cheng Feng were summoned.
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor."
"Let's be flat."
"Emperor Xie!"
Cheng Feng and Fang Yayue stood up and stood on either side of each other, naturally standing on both sides of Huang Yining and Tong Jinghe respectively.
"Fang Qing, Cheng Qing, I summoned you today because I want to ask you something." Xiao Qianyu looked at the expressions of the two of them, and saw that they all looked as usual, and they couldn't see anything unusual, so they began to ask.
"Yes." The two of them hurriedly replied in unison.
"Did you two come to Zhengyang Palace yesterday?"
Fang Yayue and Cheng Feng's answers were no different from what Tong Jinghe and Huang Yining said before. Fang Yayue was indeed summoned by Huang Yining to enter the Zhengyang Palace, and with her superb ventriloquism, she learned the chirping of the finch. If the emperor hadn't summoned him to the palace again today, he would have already set off to look for the traces of the finch in the mountains.
As for Chengfeng, it was because the eunuchs of Zhengyang Palace sent a message that asked him to rush to Zhengyang Palace, and he came.
Then, at this time, it seems that the breakthrough of the problem is the little eunuch.
"Chengfeng, do you remember what the little eunuch looked like?" Xiao Qianyu asked Chengfeng.
"Back to the emperor, I remember, that little eunuch has a delicate appearance and a round face, which is really unforgettable at first sight." Cheng Feng replied.
"Okay, in that case, Ning'er, call all the eunuchs in this Zhengyang Palace to the front yard, and let Cheng Feng look through them one by one to see who is the one who went to Wangxian Pavilion yesterday to spread the word." Xiao Qianyu said.
Huang Yining was overjoyed in his heart, nodded his head busily, and ordered Min Feng to call all the eunuchs to the front yard. She wants to see who is the dog slave who eats inside and out and cheats his master!
After a while, dozens of little eunuchs in Zhengyang Palace were all called to the front yard and stood in several rows, all of them standing with their hands down, respectful and solemn.
"Keep your head up!" Xiao Qianyu said loudly, and the eunuchs hurriedly raised their heads and showed their faces.
Xiao Qianyu turned around and signaled to Cheng Feng next to him: "Cheng Feng, please, let's see who is the little eunuch who passed the word yesterday?" ”
