179. Chapter 179: Delaying Tactics
If the eyes can kill, Bai Liyi's gaze has already killed Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan was taken aback, calmed down, and said confidently: "I'm not talking nonsense, but there is evidence." ”
Baili Yi chuckled, "What evidence?" ”
Concubine Yan looked at Bailiyan, and Bailiyan then asked, "Where is your jade pendant?" ”
Hearing this, Baili Yi looked over, caught a glimpse of the jade pendant next to the handrail, and quickly retracted his gaze, how could this jade pendant that was obviously placed in his dormitory appear in Concubine Yan's hands?
Seeing that he didn't reply, Bailiyan said, "Can't you remember?" ”
"Erchen's jade pendant is in Xi'er." When the words fell, Bai Li Yi was terrified, if Ru Xi said that the jade pendant was not in her hands, then he would have committed the great crime of bullying the king at this moment.
"Oh?" Bailiyan was surprised, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it again, the word "interpretation" on it, it was impossible for him not to recognize it, this jade pendant was obviously Baili interpretation, why did he say that the jade pendant was in Ru Xi's hands?
Concubine Yan sneered: "If your jade pendant is in the hands of the crown princess, then whose jade pendant is in the emperor's hand?" ”
Baili Yi pretended to be surprised, "The father also has the jade pendant of his son?" ”
"Is this jade pendant yours?" Bailiyan carried the silk rope and handed the jade pendant to Baili Yi to see, Baili Yan took the jade pendant, did not affirm or deny, but asked: "Where did this jade pendant come from?" ”
"I found it in Kowako's room, Kowako was killed by you, what else do you have to say." Concubine Yan said aggressively.
Baili Yi said calmly: "Father, Erchen's jade pendant is indeed in Xi'er's place, and Erchen doesn't know why it is in the hands of Concubine Yan." ”
Concubine Yan asked, "So, do you admit that this jade pendant is yours?" ”
This jade pendant is unique, it can't be denied at all, Bai Li Yi nodded and said: "This jade pendant is indeed mine, but I don't know why it appears in your hands." Saying that, Bai Li Yi raised his head and glared at Concubine Yan, Concubine Yan coughed lightly, pretended to turn her head, and said to Bai Liyan: "Your Majesty, he has admitted it." ”
Without being reminded by Concubine Yan, Bailiyan also heard Bailiyan's words clearly, and said, "You said that the jade pendant is in Xi'er's hands, so this jade pendant was not dropped by you?" ”
If it wasn't him, it was Ru Xi.
Thinking of what Ru Xi said before coming, Bai Li Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It wasn't the son who fell off." ”
Baili Yi shirked like this, even if Concubine Yan's plan was in vain, when she thought of Ru Xi's power, Concubine Yan suddenly changed her mind, if she pushed the blame on Ru Xi, it would be very beneficial to her.
"It wasn't you who fell it, then, it was the crown princess who fell it, and she killed Xiao Hezi." Concubine Yan made up her mind and said to Bailiyan, "Your Majesty, if the crown princess kills someone, how should this crime be counted?" ”
As early as Baili Yi said that the jade pendant was in Ru Xi's hands, Yuxiang couldn't listen to it anymore, and when she heard Concubine Yan's words again, she really couldn't bear it, and snorted coldly: "You just insisted that the person was killed by the crown prince, and at this time you said that it was killed by the crown princess, and after a while, do you want to say that the person was killed by Su Liangdi or Shi Liangyuan?" Anyway, they are all from the Garter Palace, so let's just say it all over again. ”
Yuxiang and Baili Yu are very close, and they have always been at odds with Concubine Yan, she doesn't like Concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan also doesn't like her.
After listening to Yuxiang's words, Concubine Yan smiled and said, "It's better for the princess to look at it, so as not to make more and more mistakes." ”
"You say I'm wrong?" Yuxiang got up unhappily, the queen mother hurriedly grabbed her and signaled her not to be impulsive, Yuxiang sat down again, and said in an unhappy tone, "I don't know who is talking nonsense, be careful of the trouble coming out of the mouth." ”
"Since you don't believe it, you can let the crown princess come over and confront you to see if the jade pendant is in her hands and how she lost it." Concubine Yan said with schadenfreude.
As soon as Concubine Yan's voice fell, she heard the palace maid running in and saying, "Your Majesty, the crown princess asks to see you." ”
"As he spoke, he came." Concubine Yan smiled, Bailiyan had no expression on her face, and said, "Xuan." ”
Ru Xi walked to Bailiyi's side and stood still, and stood aside without saying a word, Bailiyan thought that she had something important to say when she asked to see, but she didn't expect her to say a word, and couldn't help asking, "What are you here to see me for?" ”
Ru Xi replied: "The courtier heard that the palace maid said that the prince came to the queen mother, so he came to take a look and see what happened. ”
"Do you recognize the jade pendant in the prince's hand?" Bailiyan pointed to the jade pendant in Bailiyan's hand and asked, Ru Xi glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "I recognize, this jade pendant has always been in the hands of Erchen, and it was placed in the palace yesterday, but it is missing today, it turned out to be here in the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother said: "Not here in the mourning family, but in the hands of Concubine Yan." ”
Ru Xi exclaimed: "How can it be in the hands of Concubine Yan?" ”
"Then I have to ask you, where did you go last night? Xiao Hezi was killed last night, and this jade pendant was found at the scene. Concubine Yan looked at Ru Xi inquiringly, trying to find some clues from her face,
When Ru Xi heard this, he said calmly: "I have been with Su Liangdi last night, and the prince is also there, and everyone in the Jiade Palace can testify." ”
The Queen Mother and Bai Liyan glanced at each other, and when Concubine Yan saw this, she preemptively said: "Your Majesty, the people in the Jiade Palace are their own people, how can they testify?" ”
Ru Xi said: "Concubine Yan suspects that Xiao Hezi is the prince or I killed her, right?" ”
"Who else but you?" Concubine Yan said angrily.
Ru Xi walked to the hall and said to Bailiyan: "Father, please give your son half a month, and after half a month, your son will definitely give his father a satisfactory answer." After speaking, Ru Xi turned her head to look at Concubine Yan, with a hint of a smile in her slightly squinted eyes, and the smile made Concubine Yan creepy.
Concubine Yan came back to her senses and said to Bailiyan: "Your Majesty, she is delaying time. ”
Generally speaking, the time to ask for is three days, and Ru Xi is half a month when he opens his mouth, and the variables of three days will not be very large, and the variables of half a month can not be predicted.
Concubine Yan was worried, and Bailiyan also had a hint of hesitation.
Half a month is indeed a bit longer, and it is not surprising that Bailiyan did not agree immediately.
Baili Yi saw that Ru Xi was confident, so he decided to believe her once, and promised Bailiyan: "Father, if Xi'er does not give a satisfactory answer after half a month, the son will be at the disposal of his father." ”
Half a month! Concubine Yan weighed this number, and then looked at Ru Xi, and suddenly felt a little hairy in her heart, now she has the upper hand, but Baili Yan is still the prince, as long as Baili Yan does not abolish the prince for a day, then her son will not be able to become the emperor, if Bai Li Yan becomes the emperor, he will definitely not let go of their mother and son and hundreds of people in the Mu family.
At this time, Ru Xi delayed the matter for half a month, what did she want to do? The more Concubine Yan thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can't promise her." ”
