Seeing that Bai Jingyin rarely has such a bad expression,

The worry in Yuan Ruiming's heart was even heavier.

But Ling Suxin's accusations are just about to begin.

"Guard Zhou is the person who is the best friend of Zhang Huaiyi, how can this palace and Lord Li turn a blind eye to such a key witness, and naturally they must be strictly protected as soon as possible, so as not to repeat the mistakes of Mama Wu."

Ling Suxin raised her voice and commanded,

"Come on, bring Zhou guards."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Bai Jingyin with provocative eyes

As if to say,

You're going to die.

Bai Jingyin turned her head and looked in the direction of the palace gate, she hoped in her heart that it would be another Zhou guard who would walk in later. But it backfired, and it was brought in by the people of Dali Temple, even if he kept his head down, Bai Jingyin could recognize it at a glance, it was Zhang Huaiyi's close friend, and he was also the Zhou guard who came to beg him to save people that day.

"Knock on the emperor, knock on the imperial concubine, and concubine."

Guard Zhou knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Concubine Jing, you have always said that Guard Zhou can prove your innocence, and now that the person has been brought up, I will hand it over to you for interrogation."

"Your Majesty."

Bai Jingyin raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Ruiming deeply, Yuan Ruiming bowed slightly to her, it was really not easy to give her trust at such a time.

She turned to Guard Zhou and began to inquire.

"You came to Qionghua Palace a few days ago, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, I have indeed been to Qionghua Palace."

Guard Zhou still lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice.

"When you came to Qionghua Palace, you told me that you told me about a hundred thousand urgent events, saying that the imperial concubine sent someone to arrest Zhang Huaiyi on the charge of 'fornication', and if you go late, I am afraid that my life will be in danger, so I must go to save Zhang Huaiyi, is this so?"

Bai Jingyin retold the words of the Zhou guards that day almost identically,

also asked about the most critical place,

Who is lying, it can be seen from Zhou Guard's answer.

The palace was silent for a moment,

They were all waiting to hear that crucial answer.

Ling Suxin snorted softly, rolled her eyes with disdain, calm, and did not panic.

Sure enough, Zhou Guard didn't answer as simply as before,

After a moment of silence,

"No, the lowly has never said such a thing."

Although she expected that there would be problems, when she heard this answer with her own ears, Bai Jingyin's heart sank, and sure enough, she still had a premonition.

Just as she wanted to continue questioning,

Just after Zhou Guard finished saying that, he raised his head, which had been lowering all his might.

Suddenly, the sound of exclamation and gasping for air came out in the still silent hall.

"Your face?!"

Bai Jingyin was taken aback,

I saw that Zhou Guard's face was bruised and purple, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, which was very terrifying.

"Who did it to you? Were you tortured into confessions before you said such reversible words? Bai Jingyin has no intention of giving up, and plans to try again one last time, "If you confess now that it's too late, no matter who does it, the emperor will not dare to do anything to you." But if you still make mistakes, I can't help you. ”

"That humble position really needs more kindness from the concubine."

When Zhou Guards said this,

Obvious with a sneer and hatred.

"The current appearance of the humble position, isn't it all due to the mother's gift, and the humble position should be thanked by the mother's subordinates for showing mercy, for the sake of Zhang Huaiyi's face, the great kindness and virtue, no tooth unforgettable."

He would have said this,

Bai Jingyin stared at Zhou Guards tightly,

As if they wanted to see him through.

After listening to him say this,

Gradually, clenching his fists.

"You have denied what you have said and done, and now you are slandering. But don't forget, you won't see no one on the way to Qionghua Palace, even if you are interrogated one by one, you can always find witnesses, but it will be self-defeating. ”

"The lowly position is to go to Qionghua Palace, but what has been said and what has not been said, and who is making mistakes again and again, the lowly position and the mother are clear. Now, seeing the tragic death of Mama Wu, who knows if the next person to be killed will be a humble position, so no matter what, even if it is death, the truth must be made public to the world! ”

Zhou Guards looked like they were at home and said loudly.

Then he turned around and kowtowed three times,

"Your Majesty, I will tell you everything you know." In the silence of the palace and the bated breath of everyone, Zhou Guards told the 'truth' of the matter:

"Here's the thing, I have always been good friends with Zhou Guards, like brothers. But I don't know when it started, but I felt that this 'brother' seemed to have something to hide, and it became mysterious. In the past, when he was not on duty, he would be with the lowly position, but now he often can't find anyone, and he won't say anything when asked, and if he continues to ask, he will be directly annoyed. In addition to this change, the Chengying girl next to Jing Guifei in Qionghua Palace has gradually increased the number of times she has come to the guard, from time to time to bring some pastries and wine, sometimes it is the concubine Niangniang who comes in person, at first she felt that she was glad to be stained, but gradually she felt that something was wrong, this is not a parent, why should the concubine Niangniang treat Zhang Huaiyi differently, if it is said to be sympathetic to her subordinates, the guards serve the emperor and the emperor, and the concubine Niangniang should not be sympathetic and caring. The most recent time was a few days ago, the concubine Niangniang brought a box of hand-made pastries, which contained white orchid glutinous rice cakes, cloud cakes and jujube paste osmanthus cakes. ”

“…… Yes, that's right. ”

Bai Jingyin raised his eyebrows.

She didn't think about denying it, and the dim sum was taken directly from the imperial dining room, and there was no way to deny it. And although the number of times was not as frequent as Zhou Weiwei said, it did ask Chengying to help Song Yuxue transfer a few times of snacks.

But I didn't expect to be seen by Zhou guards,

It was also presented as evidence against her at this time.

"If these pastries alone represent a personal relationship, then the eunuchs and palace maids in this palace who have personal affairs with me may not be able to count them on one hand. And the reason why I went to the guard house many times is only because I fell in love with Zhang Huaiyi and could learn and exchange martial arts, in order to avoid misunderstanding under the melon field and Li Xia, the door was also deliberately opened. ”

"Zhao Yan happened to pass by the guard house that day, and also reported this matter to me, as Concubine Jing said, it was a frank conversation. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but what you've said really isn't enough to explain what happened between the two of them. ”

Between the words,

Yuan Ruiming was still talking to Bai Jingyin, and his trust had not had the slightest impact.
