Chapter 143: Wronged (6)
"What's your name and what palace do you work in?" Situ asked the maidservant.
The little palace maid trembled with fright, and replied intermittently: "Return, go back to Your Highness...... Slave maid, slave maid name is lotus rong, yes, is the maid of the East Palace. โ
"The maid of the flower palace?" Situ Mu's suspicion became thicker and thicker, and he turned his head to Huang Ying and asked, "So, what did you find out that Lotus Rong was sneaky, and how did you find out?" โ
"Returning to His Royal Highness," compared to Lianrong's cowardice, Huang Ying's demeanor was respectful and her manners were appropriate, and she was worthy of the people around her. She said word by word, "The crown princess ordered the slaves and maids to guard the Yanqiu Hall to see if there would be any suspicious real people." The slave maid was guarding under the small main window of Liangdi, and saw that Lian Rong took advantage of the fact that His Royal Highness and Niangniang went back to rest, and when the imperial doctor and the guards discussed countermeasures, they avoided everyone's eyes and wanted to sneak over. Lotus Rong approached the pots of white chrysanthemums in front of the hall, and behaved very suspiciously, as if she was planning to remove the flowers. The slave maid thought of the mother's order and immediately took her down. โ
Situ Mu glanced at the lotus seed and asked, "So, what do you want to do when you stay near those white chrysanthemums?" โ
"Slave, slave, slave ......" Lianrong stood for a long time, and didn't say why.
And Han continued: "The concubine is also strange, if you say that this maid of the flower palace moves flowers, it is not unusual." The strange thing is that now that something has happened in the Yanqiu Palace, most people can't avoid it, how can they have a lotus paste to move flowers at this time. The concubine just wanted to detain her for interrogation. It wasn't until Liu Yuanzheng smelled the musk and found out the incense pills in the soil that the concubine knew that the lotus seed was trying to destroy the miรจ evidence at that time! โ
"Bold minion!" Situ Mu shouted angrily and asked, "It's not from the truth!" โ
Seeing that Situ Mu was angry, Lian Rong fell to her knees with a thud and shouted loudly towards the cold tide: "Shang Yi, Shang Yi save me!" โ
When Hanxi heard this, he knew that something was wrong! This "witness" who suddenly appeared, she had never seen it, but she actually asked herself for help! Hanxi asked, "You and I have never known each other, why do you expect me to save you?" โ
"Han Shangyi, how can you say such a thing?" Lian Rong looked at Han Xi with wide eyes, looking incredulous, "The slave maid was born and died for you, and now that the matter is revealed, are you going to clear up the relationship and abandon the slave and maid?" โ
"I have no grievances with you, but you are here to talk about it!" Hanxi knew that he had fallen into someone else's trap, and his heart was on fire, and his mouth became tough.
Lian Rong couldn't stop crying, walked all the way to Situ Mu, kowtowed, and choked up: "Your Highness, the slaves and maids all say, the slaves and maids say everything!" It was Han Shangyi who instructed the slave to put musk into the Xiangxue Sea flower pot, and the incense pill was given to the slave by her! โ
"You!" Situ Mu listened to Lianrong's cry and couldn't help but be stunned. He turned his head to look at Han Xi and muttered in disbelief, "Han Shangyi? No, it can't be ......."
So far, Han Xi can only smile bitterly. It's just that he was kind enough to persuade Situ Mu to send a few pots of flowers. I didn't expect it to be used by people with a heart to use this kind of process. Han Xi slowly knelt in front of Situ Mu and said seriously: "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't. โ
Situ Mu was silent for a moment, and nodded heavily: "Shang Yi, this palace believes in you!" โ
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The cold tide was moved. Although she didn't know why she trusted her to do it, she was very grateful. It seems that Pastor Situ is a man who can be relied upon. He and Situ Bi have very different temperaments, no wonder father and son are not in harmony.
Situ Bi listened quietly for a while, and then asked Lian Rong: "You said that Han Shangyi instructed you to murder Liangdi, how did she find you?" โ
"Hui, Hui Your Majesty xiร ......" Lotus Rong shrunk back, her voice as low as a mosquito, "Soon after the little lord Liangdi became pregnant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciated these flowers. The little lord is very attentive to these flowers, and the slave maid is the maid of the Flower Palace, and is often summoned by the little master to the Yanqiu Hall to take care of the flowers. Shang Yi noticed the slave and found the slave and the maid. She asked the slave to put some incense pills and bury them in the soil......"
"Han Shangyi asked you to put incense pills in the soil, and you did it?" After Si Yao heard this, she said hatefully, "Bold slave, you dare to do such things as aiding and abusive!" Do you think she's your master? โ
"Little master, little master spare your life!" Lian Rong was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, "The slave maid is a ghost for a while, and she listened to Shang Yi's words. Shang Yi said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats her very well, and she will enter the East Palace sooner or later. As long as the slave maid helps her do this, she will become the master in the future, and she will give the slave and maid a bright future! It's been almost five years since the slave maid entered the palace, and she's just an obscure low-level palace maid who can only take care of flowers and plants......"
Si Yao trembled with anger, and said to Hehan: "Listen to the crown princess, this is really an ambitious master!" Taking advantage of people's selfish desires to harm others. Not only does she want to murder her concubine's child, but she wants to replace you! โ
And Han was silent, and did not answer Si Yao's words. It's just that she looks a little at a loss, which makes people think that she has nothing to do with the matter, but like a gentle and harmless person.
"Your Majesty," Han Xi suddenly spoke, asking, "I wonder if Wei Chen can ask Lianrong two questions?" โ
Situ Bi stroked the beard on his chin and said, "Yes." โ
Han Xi got Situ Bi's permission, turned to Lotus Rong, and said, "Lotus Rong, I have two questions for you. You can listen to it, think about it, and then answer me. โ
Lian Rong still crouched timidly on the ground, not daring to raise her eyes to look at the cold tide, but nodded slightly.
Han Xi asked, "As we all know, musk is a very valuable spice, and ordinary people can't afford to use it at all. Even in the palace, not everyone can get it. If I ask you to bury the musk pills in the soil of the 'Fragrant Snow Sea', if you want to make the aroma volatilize well, the amount must be not small. I'm just a little female officer, where can I get so much musk? โ
"This, this ......" Lian Rong never thought that Hanxi would have such a question, and was a little blindsided by the question, and was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Han Xi smiled, and continued to ask: "Then the second question, not long after I first entered the East Palace, I only served in the Xuanhe Hall on weekdays. Most of the palace people I have come into contact with are people close to His Highness, so I am not familiar with you, and I don't even have a trace of impression. As for such a big thing as murdering the emperor's heir, how could I find you so easily, believe you, and ask you to do it boldly? Am I not afraid of being bitten back by you? โ
"I ......" Lianrong's eyes widened, and there was a look of horror in them. The two questions that Hanxi asked, she really couldn't answer.
Situ Mu saw that Hanxi gradually pulled back a sentence for himself, and secretly sighed in his heart that this woman was extraordinarily smart. He was deeply impressed by her witty thoughts and well-thought-to-heart demeanor. Situ Mu struck while the iron was hot, and immediately helped Hanxi and said, "That's right, this palace is also very curious about these two questions. Lianrong, didn't Shang Yi ask you to think about it to answer? Why don't you reply? โR1152
