169. Chapter 169: Difficult to Argue
"Where do I think I've seen you?" He Hua looked at Aoyagi, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are the dowry of the crown princess." As he spoke, he looked at Ru Xi, who was dressed in black, and said uncertainly, "Could it be that you are ...... The Crown Princess? ”
Ru Xi pulled down the face towel and said with a smile: "That's right, it's me." ”
He didn't understand, "Why do you know that someone is going to kill me?" And why save me? ”
Ru Xi said: "Can you send a drawing of a phoenix robe to the Shangyi Bureau?" ”
As soon as the lotus painting heard Ru Xi's words, his eyes dodged, and his face showed fear, and Ru Xi asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes!" He nodded with his eyes closed.
"That drawing really was sent by the Jade Concubine?" Ru Xi asked again, and the lotus painting stopped talking, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Nonsense." Ru Xi shouted, so frightened that Hehua lowered his head and trembled, but still insisted: "The slave didn't talk nonsense, the drawings ...... It was indeed the Jade Concubine Niangniang who asked the slave to send it over. ”
"If I hadn't saved you tonight, you would have become a soul under the knife, and I saved you because I wanted you to tell the truth, since you didn't want to say it, then your life is meaningless to me." Ru Xi said, picking up the sword placed on the table.
He Hua was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The princess spares her life, it's not that the slave doesn't want to say it, but she can't say it." ”
After listening to the words of the lotus painting, Aoyagi said: "Miss, I really let you say it, this matter is really not simple." ”
Ru Xi said: "Although I don't have much contact with the Jade Concubine Niangniang, but I know very well what kind of person the Jade Concubine Niangniang is, how could she do such a thing?" ”
He Hua nodded while crying: "The crown princess is right, the drawings are indeed not sent to the Shangyi Bureau by the jade concubine." ”
"Who told you to send it?"
Hehua shook his head: "The slave doesn't dare to say it." ”
Ru Xi said: "Do you know who wants to kill you tonight?" It refers to the person who asked you to send the drawings to the Shangyi Bureau. ”
"Impossible." Hehua shook her head, "Concubine Yan promised the slave maid that as long as the slave maid does what she says, she will not kill me, nor will she kill my mother and younger brother." ”
"Concubine Yan." Ru Xi said, and the lotus painting realized that he was in a hurry for a while, and said everything that should not be said.
Now that she has said it, the lotus painting did not hide it anymore, nodded and said: "It was Concubine Yan Niangniang who asked the slave to do this, Concubine Yu Niangniang treated the slave and maid very well, and the slave and maid did not want to harm her even if she was broken to pieces, but Concubine Yan threatened each other with the lives of her mother and younger brother, and the slave and maid could not ignore the life and death of her mother and younger brother, so ...... That's why ......"
"Get up!" Ru Xi put the sword back on the table and let the lotus painting get up.
The lotus painting still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, grabbed Ru Xi's legs and cried: "Crown Princess, please save the Jade Concubine." ”
"You get up first." Ru Xi pulled her up, "You said that you still have a mother and younger brother at home, where is your home?" ”
"Wanhua Village on the outskirts of the capital."
Ru Xi nodded and promised: "Don't worry, not only will Concubine Yu be fine, but your mother and younger brother will also be safe." ”
"Really?" He Hua looked at Ru Xi with wide eyes, and Ru Xi nodded reassuringly.
The lotus painting knelt on the ground again: "Crown Princess Xie." ”
Ru Xi looked at her and shook her head helplessly, Aoyagi helped her up, and said, "My young lady doesn't like people kneeling around the most, so you can sit down!" As he spoke, he pressed the lotus painting to a chair and sat down.
He wiped a handful of tears, cried and smiled, and said: "I often hear people in the palace say that the crown princess is the most kind to her subordinates. ”
Ru Xi smiled: "People are actually equal, but they are in this position, if they are not in this position one day, they are no different from ordinary people, so why let yourself be high?" ”
"The crown princess has said this, and the jade concubine has also said it." Lotus painting road.
"It seems that this jade concubine is really indisputable with the world."
He said: "The Jade Concubine treats us very well and never treats us as human beings." As he spoke, he began to cry again, "And I failed her, and I did her harm." ”
"If you want to save the Jade Concubine, you have to listen to me, no matter what happens to the Jade Concubine, you have to calm down, remember not to come nonsense, otherwise, once things get worse, no one will be able to save her."
Looking at Ru Xiyan's expression, Hehua nodded and said, "The slave has written it down." ”
Early the next morning, the matter of the jade concubine's private phoenix robe was exposed, and the whole palace was in an uproar, after Bailiyan knew about it, he immediately asked people to go to the Shangyi Bureau to investigate, and after asking, it was really the jade concubine who asked the personal palace maid to send the drawings to make the phoenix robe, and then the jade concubine was passed to the queen mother.
In the Yongning Palace, the Queen Mother and Bailiyan sat in the center, and the Queen and Concubine Yan sat on the left and right sides.
Concubine Yu was only in a white shirt and was taken to Yongning Palace, and then pushed to the ground by the guards.
Looking up at the disappointed expression of the Queen Mother, and then looking at Bailiyan's angry appearance, Concubine Yu asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what crime did the concubine commit?" The concubine is dead, and she must die to understand. ”
Bailiyan listened to Concubine Yu's words and glanced at Gonggong Lu, who took the phoenix robe and put it in front of Concubine Yu.
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Concubine Yu, Concubine Jade, the mourning family has always thought that you are a very desireless person, but I didn't expect that your ambition is really big enough, this is just in charge of the harem, so you want to be the queen?" ”
Concubine Yu listened and thought about it, and finally understood what was going on, and asked, "What does the queen mother mean is that this phoenix robe was made by the concubine privately?" ”
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Concubine Yan preemptively said, "Who else would it be if it weren't you?" The palace maids of the Shangyi Bureau all admitted that you asked the palace maids to send the drawings to do it, is it still fake? ”
"No!" Concubine Yu shook her head in panic, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, the princess didn't let the palace maid send the drawings over. ”
"You still don't admit it!" Bailiyan was furious, and asked Lu Xiang and the other palace maids of the Shangyi Bureau to come in, and asked, "This phoenix robe was made by Concubine Yu?" ”
The palace maids were silent, Bailiyan glanced at them a few times, and then pointed at Lu Xiang and said, "You come on." ”
Lu Xiang said: "Back to the emperor, this dress is the Jade Concubine's personal palace maid lotus painting sent to the drawing for the Shangyi Bureau to make." ”
"Lotus painting?" Concubine Yu was even more at a loss, Hehua had always been loyal to her, how could she betray her?
"Lotus painting!" Bailiyan glared at the Jade Concubine, as if she was looking at a person who annoyed her more or less, the kindness of the sunset was exhausted at this moment, and the Jade Concubine looked at Bailiyan, except for a bitter smile, she couldn't find any expression.
