Chapter 257 Xia Jinyan's today is her tomorrow

"Liu Ruxue, where do you think you can be smart? Isn't it still the same to go to prison, besides, the assassin was captured in your Xuesong Palace, and you are more suspicious than me, right? Xia Jinyan replied without showing weakness.

This time, Liu Ruxue over there didn't reply to her words, after all, the goal has been achieved, isn't it?

Longao Palace.

"Your Majesty, the servant took someone to Concubine Xia according to your instructions, and sure enough, I found something!"

The tip of the ear said and presented the thing he found in his hand, Qingyuan's look flashed in disgust, and he only picked up the soft white thing with only two fingers, wrinkled his brows and looked at it for a while, and then threw it back into the tip of his ear, "Find someone to put it on for me!" ”

The tip of the ear hurriedly caught the human skin mask, and when he heard Qingyuan's order, he immediately trotted to find a palace maid to come in, and put the human skin mask on the face of the palace maid in three or two clicks, sure enough, after the mask was put on, the moment the palace maid raised her head, even the tips of her ears were silenced, isn't this the appearance of Concubine Xu?

He subconsciously looked at the emperor sitting there, who was squinting at the face of the palace maid, and suddenly sneered and stood up: "Prepare for the dragon, I want to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!" ”

After sitting on the dragon chariot, the tip of his ears was beckoning to get up, and he heard Qingyuan whispering to him, "Cover the face of that palace maid and take it with you!" ”

The sharp ears didn't dare to pause longer, and hurriedly did what the emperor ordered, and then went to the prison of the criminal department in a mighty way.

Xia Jin sat in his cell angrily, with a lot of hay spread under his buttocks, and still felt cold and hard, especially when it was freezing outside. The walls of the cell were open again, and the cold wind blew in and swished, making her shiver even more.

But Liu Ruxue, who was on the other side of the fence, sat there calmly, completely different from the way she jumped to her feet in anger just now, as if the woman who was arguing with her just now was not her.

The more she looked at her like this, the more angry she became, and she made up her mind to push everything to Xu Lingfeng and Liu Ruxue, so that these two splashers would never end well!

Just thinking about it. Then he saw a jailer approaching. Carrying the keychain, he first went to the door of Liu Ruxue's cell and opened the door, "Concubine Liu, you can go out!" With that, he took Liu Ruxue away. She was in a hurry, so she hurriedly stood up and walked to the door of the cell, shouting, "Why can she get out, I can't?!! ”

The jailer squinted at her and scolded, "What are you yelling about?" Isn't that your turn? ”

said that she really found the key and came over to open the door for her, Xia Jinyan didn't expect her to go out. I thought I was going to let her go, but it wasn't like this, as soon as the cell opened, she was about to stride out. Then the jailer beckoned to the two jailers standing not far away, "You two bring her over!" ”

Xia Jinyan, who was dragged in the other direction with her arms on her arms, realized that things were far from what she thought, and she struggled anxiously: "What are you going to do!" Hongu is wronged. You can't lynch this palace! ”

But the two jailers who were holding her paid no attention to her struggles and screams, and the hands that held her arms clasped her arms like eagle talons. Let her only show her energy on the lips, but she can't get out of the struggle at all.

So she was dragged to her destination, and in that place, Qingyuan was sitting there comfortably waiting for her.

As soon as he saw Qingyuan appear there, Xia Jinyan's eyes immediately lit up, and almost instantly his eyes were hazy and tears flowed, "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of your concubines!" The concubine is wronged! ”

Qingyuan didn't pay attention to what she meant, but turned his head to take the teacup from a jailer who was serving tea next to him, slowly and methodically took the lid of the cup, and then handed it to the eartip who was standing on the other side, and whispered a few words to the eartip, and saw the eartip beckoning a woman to come forward, and the veil covering her face was removed, Xia Jinyan couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Xu Lingfeng!" You hurt me! ”

Then he turned his gaze back to Qingyuan, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, and she wants to frame the concubine!" She said that she wanted to deal with Liu Ruxue, so she asked for a lot of silver from the concubine, and the concubine really didn't know about it, Your Majesty! ”

Qingyuan was not in a hurry to answer her, but handed a look to the tip of the ear, and the tip of the ear immediately tore off the human skin mask from the palace maid's face and threw it on the ground in front of Xia Jinyan, and Qingyuan replied unhurriedly at this moment: "Isn't it familiar to see this?" Xia Concubine, I don't treat you badly, how much hatred do you have for me, so that you pretend to be Xu Concubine to lead the killer to attack me? ”

Xia Jin shook her head at a loss, "Your Majesty, the concubines don't have it!" It was Liu Ruxue who asked the concubine to find someone for her to pretend to be an assassin, so that she could take the opportunity to save the driver to win the emperor's favor, but the concubine really didn't have it! ”

"Concubine Liu has this meaning, she has already asked me for guilt, as for you, at this time you still don't tell the truth, this thing was found in your dormitory, although it was buried in the flower garden, but you forgot one thing, that is, it has snowed in the past few days, the snow in the flower garden is thinner, and the soil is looser, as long as the minions with better eyesight can see it, how safe can you hide this thing?"

Listening to Qingyuan's words, Xia Jinyan's face turned pale, and she burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is guilty, but if she really talks about the crime, Xu Lingfeng will not be able to escape, the concubine has paid for this matter, and the matter of finding someone is done by Xu Lingfeng and Lord Xu, the concubine is just obeying Xu Lingfeng's will to answer that person, the concubine knows that it is wrong to pretend to be Xu Lingfeng, but the concubine is also for self-protection!" ”

Qingyuan clapped his hands, and at the same time said: "Xia Concubine is really a good idea, advocating that Concubine Xu is the first, framing Concubine Liu is the last, and my life can also be counted by you, you are really smart!" ”

Xia Jinyan sobbed and choked, and found that the emperor didn't mean to listen to her defense at all, so she knew that she was really planted in Liu Ruxue's hands this time.

But even this is not counted, at that time, he accepted a bribe from Xia Jinyan...... The jailer who bribed also stepped forward at this time, presented the golden beans that Xia Jianyan had stuffed to him before in front of everyone, and replied respectfully to Qingyuan: "Your Majesty, this is Xia Concubine Niangniang's subordinates, please take a look!" ”

Qingyuan flicked the golden beans in the jailer's hand with his hand, and then moved his gaze to Xia Jinyan: "It seems that Xia Concubine's family background is very thick!" You can casually reward a jailer with a golden bean, so you should give a lot to Concubine Xu, right? ”

Xia Jinyan's heart was suddenly alert, when would he wait if he didn't pull Xu Lingfeng into the water at this time! So he immediately changed his previous attitude and honestly recruited: "Your Majesty, the concubines have given Concubine Xu a total of 1,000 taels of silver tickets, and Concubine Xu has always passed on news and money to her maid Chunfang before, but Chunfang has not been out of the palace many times, so the concubine can conclude that Concubine Xu must have left some letters and money for contact in her bedroom, please let the emperor know!" ”

Qing Yuan smiled and commanded the jailer to pull Xia Jinyan up, and then said: "This is not to worry about Xia Concubine, I will go to investigate, as for Xia Concubine, who is suspected of hiring a murderer to assassinate me, she will be sent to death row from now on, and I will deal with it after all the things are clarified!" ”

In Xia Jinyan's incredulous eyes, the jailer dragged her in another direction, she knew that it was death row, and the prisoners who arrived there might not have a chance to live.

After Xia Jinyan was taken away, Qing Yuan glanced at the jailer who was still holding the golden bean, "You have done a good job in this matter, just keep this golden bean, with sharp ears, and reward him with another grain, which will be counted as my reward for you!" ”

In the gratitude of the jailer, Qingyuan stepped out of the prison of the Criminal Department first.

After Yaosu was taken out, she was sent back to the Xuesong Palace, and Qingyuan really lifted her grounding order according to the previous agreement, but she hadn't eased up, and Qingyuan appeared in the Xuesong Hall again.

"The concubines welcome the emperor!"

Yao Su, who had changed into clothes, didn't have time to have a full meal, when he heard the rumor outside that the emperor had arrived, and immediately came out to greet Qingyuan.

"Get up!" Qingyuan glanced at her faintly, walked past her, and entered the inner room.

The tip of the ear stopped the palace eunuch and the palace maid who wanted to follow up, and Yao Su also understood in her heart, so she let Chunhua and Dongyu also stay outside, and she went in reflexively.

Once again, it became two people alone in the room, and Qingyuan explained his intention straightforwardly: "Concubine Liu did a good job, and I will not pursue this matter as promised before, but I am not here for this matter, but to remind Concubine Liu that this stomach should be dealt with!" ”

Qing Yuan glanced at Yao Su's slightly bulging belly meaningfully, and then said without a trace of affection: "I have never done anything before, I know very well in my heart, so if Concubine Liu doesn't want me to announce the truth to the public, she will give this belly away, it is best to do it logically, don't be caught by anyone, otherwise I will be punished for both new and old crimes!" ”

Yao Su listened to his tone, thinking that he found out that his stomach was fake, but after listening to it all, he felt that Qingyuan might not know, otherwise he would not have said that it was for her to deal with it logically, so as not to make others suspicious, and it just so happened that she did not plan to continue to round this lie, after all, she originally claimed that she was pregnant just to save this stubble, and she didn't use it, so there was no need to save this fake belly, and she had to think about how to tie this belly with Xu Lingfeng or Liu Zhi. After all, these two people are very hostile to her, and if she doesn't take the opportunity to suppress them now, Xia Jinyan's today may become her tomorrow!

"The concubine understands!" Thinking like this, Yao Su immediately blessed her body and responded. (To be continued)
