429 confronted
Duchess Rongguo sat with E, and when she saw her gaze, she couldn't tell who she was looking at. Because the matter of her framing Shen Yan has already come to fruition, she is more and more unwilling to see such a girl in her heart, and when she sees her like this, she condenses her eyebrows and says, "Miss Song looks at us, do you have something to say?" β
Shen Yan saw her staring directly at them, and she was also suspicious in her heart.
But her thinking is clearer, the Duchess of Rongguo will definitely not have anything to do with this matter, if Song Ping really means something, then the target can only be the E, is she trying to say that the Eshi has been close to her?!
Thinking of this possibility, she suddenly sank in her heart, if it was the E family, then all the doubts would be explained, the E family didn't want her to marry Han Ji, so she made someone secretly attack her, no matter whether she was blind or not blind in the end, if the Shen family knew that this matter was done by the Han family, they would never marry her to the Han family again!
Judging from Song Ping's expression, it can only be the E family, although she didn't say anything, could it be that she, the daughter of a lower official, would still accuse a dignified duchess of not doing it? !
However, if it's really E's, then things are in trouble!
She is still nominally Han Ji's mother now, and there is an assassin who has secretly intruded in Biling Palace, and now the emperor and his ministers have already linked the person who attacked Rouge with the assassin, if he picks up the skin of the E, it is equivalent to leading the emperor's suspicion to the Han family! In this way, wouldn't it cause trouble for Han Ji at the same time?
Her heart tightened involuntarily, and even sweat broke out on her back.
In order to prevent the emperor from linking the matter of secretly breaking into the cold palace with the Han family, now he can only prevent Song Ping from speaking out about the E. family. But even if she doesn't say it, Dali Temple has already sent someone to investigate, I believe that it won't be long before there will be results, and now the arrow is on the bow, what can I do to stop it without a trace?
She stared at her eyebrows and was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Shen Guanyu, who was sitting opposite.
Shen Guanyu looked at her, and there was no fluctuation on his face.
Even though he wouldn't hold her back, he couldn't ask for his help in such a matter. Can she explain clearly in a few words why she is covering up this matter for the Han family? At this time, obviously no one can ask for help, the pit was dug by herself, and how to fill it back can only rely on herself!
She gritted her teeth. Turned his head to look at Song Ping again.
At this time, Song Huan had already urged: "Say it quickly!" Who the hell instigated you! β
Song Huan is not stupid. Although the previous crime of trampling on the queen's peony could not escape, if Song Ping was clever and pushed this matter to someone else, then the crime would inevitably be much lighter. He wouldn't worry about whether he could sit firmly in the seat of Honglu Temple Zhengqing.
Song Ping was urged by him. Biting your lip. also let it out: "It's the maid of the Duke of Wei!" β
Shen Yan's heart jumped to his throat, and he was about to open his mouth to divert his attention, but suddenly there was a voice at the door behind him:
"The prince of Wei has arrivedβ"
Song Ping just said it. E's heart was also almost stopping, and there was an announcement from under the door of Changxuan, and her heart was stuck in her throat. I saw two or three people coming up, led by a purple cloth and a golden crown, a silver belt wrapped around the waist, and the rest of the two people, both of whom had excellent temperament, and it turned out that Han Ji came up with Xin Yihe Qun.
When the people in the room heard Song Ping identify the Han family, they were in an uproar, and now because of Han Ji's sudden arrival, they suppressed this exclamation a little.
Shen Yan didn't know what Han Ji happened to be coming over at this time, but when he received a silent glance from him passing by, his heart suddenly settled again.
Han Ji greeted the emperor and said: "I heard that the case of the attack on Miss Shen's master and servant is being tried here, and when the minister just walked to the door, he heard that Miss Song pointed out that it was the Han family who instigated her to act. β
"Quasi-play." The emperor raised his hands with a tense face.
This kind of selfishness has been successively involved in the imperial concubines in the palace and the meritorious heroes in the court, and his face as an emperor is not good-looking.
Han Ji thanked him, then turned his head to look at Song Ping, "I came from the Imperial Garden just now, and I happened to meet a few palace people who were talking in private, and it sounded interesting to me, so I called them over and asked, it turned out that what they were talking about was also here in the West Garden, and they said that Miss Song had also met the people in our house after she had a dispute with Miss Shen?" β
Song Ping's face was flushed with a strange flush, and he stood three steps away from him, as if he had lost his mind.
And when the Eshi saw Han Ji suddenly coming, a heart also beat a drum in his chest. She didn't know what Han Ji meant, but she knew that the meeting at the bottom of the slope just now must have caught him something, and now he would rather drag her out regardless of the safety of the Han family?
She clutched the silk tightly, and her nails had already been picked into the palms of her hands. But the last thing it was appropriate at this time was to panic, she tried to be as calm as possible, and tried to look at Wei Guogong, who was sitting opposite. But Wei Guogong obviously didn't know anything about this matter, and his attention fell on Gu Yan and Han Ji.
Shen Yan didn't know what Han Ji meant, but she was sure that he would never do something that would be a big loss, so even if Song Ping didn't respond, she also considered it and said: "I have nothing to do with the Wei State Mansion, I believe that Miss Song has been in contact with the people in the Wei State Mansion, and she will not be affected, but I don't know what Miss Song said to the people of the Han family?" Why did you suddenly target the Han family? β
Song Ping raised her head, glanced at Han Ji and pursed her lips again.
Han Ji said: "The minister asked the emperor to allow those palace people to come up and explain what happened. β
With permission, he raised his hand outside, and He Qun, who was standing outside the door, walked up with three little eunuchs.
When he knelt down in the middle of the house, the white-faced little eunuch on the left said: "Slave Fugui, it is the sprinkler eunuch of the West Garden, I have seen the maid sister beside the Duchess of Wei Guo at the gate of the West Garden and talk to Miss Song. β
The emperor frowned when he heard this, "So, this matter does have something to do with the Han family?" β
E's heart almost jumped out of his throat. She stood up and looked at Fugui: "You can see clearly, our Han family has no grudges or hatreds against the Shen family, we can't go and attack Miss Shen!" β
Fugui shrunk.
Han Ji shook his head and said: "Mother doesn't have to worry, and the emperor doesn't have to rush to make a conclusion, and listen to what he says." β
The emperor glanced at Wei Guogong's face and hummed.
Fugui continued: "Miss Song seemed to be very angry with Miss Shen after she left, and that maid sister was blocked by Miss Song when she passed by, so she saluted with Miss Song.
Miss Song reprimanded her for bumping into her, and after angrily reprimanding her, she heard that she was a person from the Duke of Wei's mansion, and immediately changed her face, and she also made compensation. The maid sister seemed unwilling to be rude, so she asked her a few reasons and left. It's less than half a quarter before and after. At that time, many people around me saw it. β
Most of the palace people at Changxuan Outer Station were on duty in the garden, and many people did see it from afar when Xiuqin was talking to Song Ping before. When the queen heard this, she raised her voice and said, "Can someone come in and testify on behalf of Fugui?" β
The palace people didn't move at first, and then they saw more eyes coming over, and then thought about it, although they didn't hear what Xiuqin and Song Ping said clearly, but the previous appearance was indeed what Fugui said, so people walked in one after another.
replied: "What the slaves and maids saw before was indeed as Fugui said, Miss Song first raised her eyebrows at the maid of the Han family, and then turned her face to smile, and she didn't say anything for long, chatted a few words and left." β
The queen looked at Song Ping coldly.
"That's not it!" When Song Ping heard this, she hurriedly raised her head and argued: "That's not the case at all!" It was the one named Xiuqin who sued me Shen Yan for offending Concubine Shu, and said that Shen Yan offended people everywhere! I didn't wronged anyone, that bowl of chili water must have been splashed by her, if you don't believe it, you can let people find her to confront her! β
The emperor and empress all sank their faces, and the Eshi side held their breath for a long time, glanced at Han Ji, and then exhaled.
At this time, the people sent by Dali Temple also came back, Bu Xingzhe listened to the report, walked to the emperor and said a few words, and the emperor opened his mouth again: "The people from Dali Temple have checked and returned, and they have locked several targets." One of them has the maid embroidered the piano beside the Duchess of Wei, and the embroidered piano is passed on to the palace, and the footprints are right. β
Eshi swallowed his saliva tightly, his clenched hands already cold.
Duchess Rongguo only thought she was angry, and reached out to pat her as a sign of comfort.
Soon, someone found the embroidered qin coming out of the clean room in the opera garden, and took her to Changxuan with a pale and frightened face.
The people of Dali Temple ordered her to step on a drawn footprint with two feet, and she stepped on it tremblingly, Bu Xingzhe personally saw it, and said: "The foot of the embroidered girl is at least a finger thick distance from the footprints behind the wisteria. β
There was another round of low sighs in the middle of the room, and E's body shook, almost falling headlong to the ground.
The emperor was silent for a moment, his left elbow was on his knee, and said, "Could it be because he is wearing small shoes?" Remove the shoes and compare again. β
Not only the E's were stunned at this moment, but even Wei Guogong and Rong Guogong and others frowned.
The palace people stepped forward to hold Xiuqin's arms, and one of them removed her shoes and stepped on the paper with only silk stockings. The Emperor himself walked over and saw that he had loosened more than a finger's width.
The footprints are not matched, there is no motive and there is evidence to prove that Xiuqin did not intend to approach Song Ping, so naturally there is no suspicion. Although she is a maid, she is also a woman in the end, so she will never take off her socks in public and test them again. What's more, even if the emperor wants to do this, with the faces of Wei Guogong and others, he can't afford to fight with them.
The Emperor stared at the feet for a moment, then waved his hand to stand down.
Xiuqin's legs fell to the ground as soon as she softened, her face became as white as paper on the ground, and her forehead was full of sweat. (To be continued......)
