Chapter 497: The Unfolding of the Case (Part II)

"Why is Concubine Jing so excited, what this palace knows from Mama Wu is naturally what you have done, what it is, I'm afraid no one knows better than yourself! I've only killed people once, and now I want to repeat my old tricks in front of the emperor? ”

Ling Suxin raised her eyebrows, sneered, and asked without letting go,

Bai Jingyin's face was expressionless,

Squinting slightly, he looked at Ling Suxin coldly and spoke

"If you want to say anything, you don't have to lay the groundwork for so long, and everyone is not interested in seeing you 'laugh at yourself' like a clown."

Yuan Ruiming also urged at this time, not wanting to continue to spend too much time.

"Imperial concubine, what did Mama Wu say?"

Ling Suxin took care of her appearance,

Take a deep breath,

Looking up at Yuan Ruiming.

"When she returned to the emperor, Mama Wu told her concubine that in the process of following Concubine Jing every day, she found that Concubine Jing would go to a remote hot spring palace in the western corner of the palace every fixed day."

Yuan Ruiming immediately reacted to where she was talking about,

Subconsciously glanced at Bai Jingyin,

Some images of unfortunate memories surfaced, and he quickly shook his head, now is not the time to think about that.

"The concubine and Mama Wu feel very suspicious, after all, there is no special scenery there, and it is very far away from Qionghua Palace, if it is just for bathing, there is really no need to spend this effort, what is even more suspicious is that Concubine Jing has not brought anyone except her personal maid Chengying, and Chengying only stands outside the hall every time, and does not go in to serve, but as if she is guarding to avoid anyone approaching, Mama Wu has no way to find out, and the concubine only let Mama Wu continue to follow after learning about it, and pay more attention to the situation in the Hot Spring Palace. Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, the clues were finally found. ”

"What did you find?"

The emperor may not believe it when he says it, and the concubines don't believe their ears at first. But Mama Wu clearly told the concubine that she stayed for a while after Concubine Jing left, thinking if she could find anything, but this extra stay actually made her see a man walking out of the hot spring palace, wearing the clothes of a guard, it was the chief of the guard personally promoted by the emperor, Zhang Huaiyi! ”

Hearing the name,

Yuan Ruiming's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was very complicated.

News always spreads fast in the palace,

Especially today's case involving murder and two high-ranking concubines, some people may deliberately want to spread the news to completely discredit Bai Jingyin, what happened in the Linlang Palace, what was said, spread throughout the palace, word of mouth.

"What did you say?"

Inside the Drinking Jade Pavilion,

Song Yuxue stood up suddenly,

His eyes widened in disbelief.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the imperial concubine said so, saying that Lord Zhang and the concubine Niangniang would have a tryst in a secluded hot spring courtyard in the palace every once in a while, which was what Mama Wu saw with her own eyes when she sent Mama Wu to follow Concubine Jing."

As early as when Bai Jingyin was taken to Linlang Hall by Dali Siqing for questioning,

Song Yuxue was relieved and worried, and sent Yuan'er out to find out the news. Yuan'er had just come back from outside, and she was still out of breath, holding her chest, and when she calmed down a little, she hurriedly relayed to Song Yuxue what she had heard, such as Bai Jingyin and Zhang Huaiyi had personal affairs.

"Niangniang, you said this can't be true, Concubine Jing and Master Zhang...... This...... The slave couldn't believe it, but it was all spread outside. ”

Song Yuxue bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes wandering,

Two hands clasped together,

I still made some tangled trade-offs in my heart,

When you look up,

His eyes have become firm,

Sure:

"No, it's impossible. After getting along for a while, I know how the concubine is doing, and I shouldn't doubt Brother Zhang's feelings for me anymore, it will definitely not be true, this matter must be deliberately framed by the imperial concubine! ”

Fortunately, Song Yuxue was not deceived by rumors at this moment,

"The noble concubine Niangniang must be in danger in the Linlang Palace now, by the way, what about Brother Zhang's side, fornicating with the palace concubine is a felony, what happened to him?"

Song Yuxue grabbed Yuan'er's arm and asked anxiously:

"When the slave maid got the news and returned to the palace, she went to the guard house on a special trip, and after inquiring, she learned that the people of Dali Temple arrested Master Zhang yesterday, and the Zhou guards were nowhere to be seen, I am afraid that they were taken together for interrogation."

"If you are taken away like this, I don't know if you will be tortured."

Song Yuxue's eyes were red anxiously,

"No, I can't stay like this anymore, I'm going to Linlang Palace." After that, Song Yuxue was about to go out, but was stopped by Yuan'er, "Niangniang, now the emperor and the people of Dali Temple are in the Linlang Palace, it is already chaotic enough, even if you go, you can't get in, the slave will continue to inquire about the news, and you must tell Niangniang as soon as you find out." ”

"I don't know how many things have changed back and forth, even if I can't get in and stand at the door, it's better than here."

Song Yuxue ignored the obstacles,

I still have to pass.

And in the Linlang Palace, Ling Suxin's accusation was also like throwing a boulder into the lake, which instantly set off huge waves.

"What does Imperial Concubine mean is that Concubine Jing has repeatedly gone to the hot spring courtyard to have a tryst with Zhang Huaiyi, the chief of the guard." Yuan Ruiming said this sentence in a calm voice, suppressing his emotions. "The fornication of the palace concubine is a felony, and the crime of framing and slandering is the same, the imperial concubine can think clearly before talking."

"The concubine naturally knows, but the concubine also believes that Mama Wu will not lie to the concubine, and it is indeed a matter for Concubine Jing and Zhang Huaiyi to meet in the Hot Spring Palace!"

Ling Suxin did not hesitate at all,

I insisted that I was telling the truth.

"Moreover, the concubine also told Lord Li the truth about this matter yesterday, thanks to the search of Dali Temple, now the concubine has a witness to prove that what the concubine said is true, and there is no half-word falsehood."

Witnesses?

She will actually have a witness,

Bai Jingyin quickly calmed down after being taken aback for a moment when he first heard it, isn't this for sure, he was making a fuss. Ling Suxin was completely prepared this time, so it was strange that she could come up with a witness.

"Li Qing's family, there is such a thing."

Li Dian bowed,

"Back to the emperor, after the imperial concubine mentioned this hot spring courtyard, Wechen immediately sent someone to block and search, and after some inquiries and evidence collection, Wechen did find some clues."

After that, he summoned:

"Someone, bring the palace maid up."

As soon as the words fell,

The two guards entered the palace with a petite little palace maid who looked weak.

The palace maid knelt on the ground, thinking that she had never seen such a formation, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
