Chapter 69: Proving Innocence

'P'*WXC'P''P'*WXC'P' sixty-nine

The hour is approaching, the women inside and outside the palace gathered in the main hall, just waiting for the nurse to bring out the little prince, Zhou Baolu noticed that when she entered the hall, Concubine Qing's eyes stopped on her head, obviously satisfied.

In order to cooperate with Concubine Qing's plan, Zhou Baolu asked Cherry to keep an eye on Zheng Meiren: "If she comes over, you move to cover me, don't let her see my hairpin." ”

I'm so cooperative, don't disappoint me.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Qing was more breathless than she imagined, and as soon as Zhou Baolu sat down, the third princess came over with a carefree look and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou came here so late?" Could it be that someone is stumbling? ”

Zhou Baolu just smiled, and the eldest princess was upset: "Going to my palace to talk, it's also in your way?" ”

The third princess ignored the eldest princess's provocation very bluntly, and said as if reciting lines: "The hairpin on the head of the sister of the Zhou family."

It's so beautiful, it doesn't look like a new fight, which elder gave it to you, right? ”

The voice was so high that it seemed like I was afraid that others wouldn't hear it.

Zhou Baolu is not as easy-going as in the past, just like a hedgehog covered with thorns, in the face of danger, he began to stand upright: "Although it is not given by the elders, it is also very important, so this time I can't give it to the third princess, and I ask the third princess to forgive me." ”

The third princess was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she just thought: When did you give it to me?

The people around were really attracted, turned their heads, and focused their eyes on the brilliant hairpin on Zhou Baolu's head.

Immediately, a woman said in a gossipy and uncertain tone: "Hey, I seem to have seen this hairpin somewhere, who has one, right?" ”

Zhou Baolu couldn't hold back and wanted to sneer.

Sure enough, someone next to him said: "When you say that, I seem to have seen it, ah, by the way, when I entered the door before, I walked with Zheng Meiren face to face, she seems to be wearing this, I don't know if Lu Dao is the same." ”

Then everyone's eyes went to Zheng Meiren again.

When Zheng Meiren heard the third princess speak, she had already seen the hairpin on Zhou Baolu's head, and her heart was already shocked, and when she saw someone turn the conversation to herself, she was not stupid, and immediately knew that she was on someone's blood, but at this time, everyone's eyes had moved to her head, and she felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't be spared today.

Zheng Meiren's eyes turned unconsciously, but she saw Zhou Baolu blinking at her, holding up an index finger to press her lips, as if it was a 'silence' action.

It's like the last straw grasped by a desperate person, Zheng Meiren, who is already cold, can only pin all her hopes on Zhou Baolu, and subconsciously follow her actions.

Sure enough, everyone was talking: "It looks like a couple, it's exactly the same." ”

"Could it really be a couple?"

"But it doesn't look like it's what it looks like today, is it an old thing? Maybe a pair of hairpins flowed out, and it is not surprising that the family bought one. ”

"That's right, it looks good, maybe it's made by a famous teacher, so look at it, compare these on the market, it's really outstanding."

Zhou Baolu smiled and said: "This is my grandmother's reward, and I am also the first time to go up." ”

At this time, an old lady serving beside Concubine Qing said in a tone of uncertain hesitation: "This hairpin...... In this way, the slave seems to have seen Empress Jingxian wear ......"

The discussion in the hall stopped abruptly, most of the women present were killed in various backhouse struggles, and they knew the elegance when they heard the string songs, and they didn't understand that this matter was not simple at this time, so it was really deserving of death.

Concubine Qing was surprised: "No, there are a number of things left by Empress Jingxian back then, and the Holy Lord personally ordered them to be stored in the library of His Royal Highness, and he has set up a special file, and he has people in His Royal Highness's palace to take care of them, how could it fall into the hands of Miss Zhou and Zheng Meiren?" ”

The old lady flinched and said, "Xu is a slave and maid, and she can't remember clearly, but she just looks like it." ”

Concubine Qing said solemnly: "Nonsense, yes, yes, no, no, how can this kind of thing be said at will!" Let people hear it, wouldn't it make people misunderstand that His Royal Highness actually gave the relics of the former queen to Miss Zhou and Zheng Meiren? ”

As soon as these words fell, the silence in the hall could be heard even by a needle.

The grandmother gritted her teeth: "Because those jewelry are all made by Master Hua himself, the appearance is very unique, it is difficult to find the second one, this looks like it is indeed one of the pairs of hairpins!" ”

Zhou Baolu stood up and asked, "Have you seen clearly?" ”

The grandmother obviously let go: "It's clear, it's true, the first queen's jewelry is engraved with the word 'Qing', Miss Zhou will know when she takes it down and takes a look!" ”

"Ahh The third princess exclaimed at this time, with an unbelievable look: "Could it be ...... Could it be that last time in Jinshan, I saw the younger sister of the Zhou family talking to the eldest brother under the orange tree from a distance, because I didn't get closer, I didn't dare to confirm it, was it really sent by the eldest brother? ”

Zhou Baolu said angrily: "Third princess, please be careful." ”

The third princess said, "If not, why will the relics of the former queen be worn on your head?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Baolu's rebuttal was extremely weak, she couldn't help but take advantage of the victory to pursue more and more, and her words became more aggressive.

Zhou Baolu smiled: "A slave said yes, right?" Then my slave said that the jewelry brought by the third princess is mine, are you willing to admit it? It's a joke, I've already said that this is a gift from my grandmother, why did the third princess say that this is a relic of the former queen? ”

She raised her eyes to look at Zheng Meiren, and saw Cherry standing behind her, her expression had calmed down, so she asked with a smile: "My hairpin was rewarded by my grandmother, Zheng Meiren's hairpin is quite similar to mine, but I don't know how I got it?" ”

Zheng Meiren said with a frightened face at this time: "This is the concubine Niangniang's reward for me!" ”

Zhou Baolu said angrily: "Third princess, look, this is all a way forward, Concubine Qing and the third princess stained my innocence because of the words of a slave, what is the reason?" ”

Concubine Qing said: "Nonsense, how valuable this hairpin is, where did the concubine come from!" Even if it's a reward, there are also records in the palace, people come and pass on files! ”

Zheng Meiren became more and more frightened: "This is the concubine Niangniang's private reward for me." ”

Concubine Qing said: "There is no file, the origin is unknown, how can I believe you, since the relics of the first queen are engraved with marks, Miss Zhou and Zheng Meiren only need to take down the hairpin and take a look, and they can prove their innocence." ”

Zhou Baolu sneered: "This is the lobby of the Zongren Mansion, what is wrong with me, and I have to prove myself?" ”

Concubine Qing said: "Someone has already said just now that it is indeed the relics of the first queen, and the relics of the first queen are now in the hands of His Royal Highness, how can they be worn on the heads of you and Zheng Meiren?" If it wasn't sent by His Highness, what else could it be? ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar!

Concubine Qing pointed out that His Royal Highness had an affair with the palace concubine, and had a private relationship with the boudoir lady.

Who doesn't know the battle between His Royal Highness and His Second Highness? Now it seems that His Royal Highness has such a private matter, even if the shirk is stolen out by the palace people to be sold, and the sewage is on the body, it is already indefensible.

The eldest princess Jinghe finally said at this time: "A slave just looks at it?" One is a girl, the other is a palace concubine, the name is so important, can you talk nonsense like this? Concubine Qing presided over the harem affairs, is it like this when the slave says a word, he has to judge the master? Your servants in Deqing Palace are even more noble than their masters? It's ridiculous! Come on, drag that slave who is climbing and biting indiscriminately out of the cane and kill him! ”

Seeing Jing and the eldest princess showing such a weak heart, Concubine Qing sneered more and more in her heart, and Huo stood up: "Who dares?" Mama Guo once served Empress Jingxian, and since she recognized it as the relic of the former queen, if she didn't check it out clearly, how could she be worthy of the spirit of the former queen in the sky? The eldest princess wants to protect her own girl, so I have to offend, come and immediately pull out the hairpins of Miss Zhou and Zheng Meiren for me! ”

Zhou Baolu suddenly pounced on the eldest princess Jinghe, and cried bitterly: "My innocent girl's family has been humiliated like this, and I have been told how to see people in the future, it is better to die." ”

Zheng Meiren did the same, and also cried to find scissors to seek death: "Although my position is low, I am also respectful and courteous in serving the saint, and now I ask someone to frame my innocence like this, that is, if you want to argue, you must go to the saint to argue!" ”

Concubine Qing sneered: "After you have seen the hairpin, it will naturally be your time to argue." ”

Four or five stout grandmothers stepped forward, Zheng Meiren was delicate and weak, and the maids did not dare to step forward, of course, the hairpin was pulled out smoothly, and Zhou Baolu pretended to resist it, and the hairpin was also pulled away, Concubine Qing's personal palace maid took the hairpin down the steps and handed it to Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing sneered and took it, turned it over to check, and said in her mouth: "I see what else you have to say......"

Before he finished speaking, the sneer was already on his face.

The back of the hairpin is smooth, and there is not half a word.

The people in the hall stretched their necks to look, and saw that Concubine Qing seemed to be solidified, and there was no movement for a long time, and the alert people had already reacted that Concubine Qing's bureau had been broken, and only the third princess heard Concubine Qing's words and sneered: "I see that you are still hard-mouthed." ”

A few of them couldn't help but show pity.

The eldest princess Jinghe said coldly: "Did Concubine Qing find the mark, do you want to call a few more people to help you find it?" ”

Zhou Baolu is a girl's family, she can't go into battle in person, she can only cry quietly and weakly, that Zheng Meiren called Cherry to push, hit her head on Concubine Qing, stretched out her hand and ripped off the jewelry on her head and fell on Concubine Qing: "There is no one, is there any of this?" What about this one? You see clearly, I'll give it to you myself! lest you call the minions to pull me! What are the relics of the former queen and where are the relics...... Where did I offend you, just frame me, my God, the golden branches and jade leaves like His Royal Highness, just ask you to climb like this, and there is the law of the king of heaven, I am a cheap life, it is not a pity to die, why doesn't God strike a thunderbolt to kill me, such an eyesore, pity the innocent girl in the princess's mansion, just give people no face in front of people......"

and thoughtlessly dragged Concubine Qing to see the emperor: "Go to the emperor to argue, go, since you want to harm me, you simply ask the emperor to give me death, my God, how can you tell me to live......"

Those grandmothers were busy holding up Zheng Meiren again, Concubine Qing's face became extremely embarrassed and disgraced at this time, Princess Jing and the eldest princess hugged Zhou Baolu and sneered: "Concubine Qing keeps saying that this is the relic of the former queen, and it has its own mark, where is the mark?" Because of the slave's words, without verification, it means that my granddaughter is not innocent, and I must go to the court to seek justice! ”

At this time, the eldest princess probed her brain and looked at it, as if she had just woken up, and said with a smile: "Ouch, I also have a pair of hairpins on Xiaolu's head, but they are really similar." ”

As he spoke, he slowly took out a box from his arms and opened it, and for a moment the treasure was bright, and the hall couldn't help but think of several faint laughter, only Concubine Qing's eyes stared at the box, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
