Chapter 45: Connection
Rong Xi looked at him angrily, if she hadn't taken care of her image, she was afraid that she would have jumped up, scratched his cheeks, and let him know how good she was.
"No need, this king has always made a clear distinction between public and private."
Raising the volume, Mu Guichen said slowly, and said all his thoughts, so that all the people present could hear clearly.
"The Lord Regent is right!"
When he saw Mu Guichen say this, not to mention how satisfied King Qingjiang was.
"Mu Guichen, do you call the distinction between public and private?"
Rong Xi couldn't continue to calm down, and directly refuted his words, if he really made a clear distinction between public and private, he should give her a little time to investigate clearly.
Looking at her bulging cheeks, Mu Guichen looked at Qian Yu on the side.
"Qianyu, come on."
After he finished speaking, Rong Xi looked at Qian Yu suspiciously, only to see that Qian Yu's subordinates had captured a palace maid and led it directly to Rong Xi.
I thought that the matter of the two guards had ended, but I didn't expect that there would be additional scenes!
The officials looked at the situation and couldn't walk anymore.
"What is this?"
Rong Xi looked at the palace maid in front of him and felt a little familiar.
Lu Qi on the side had already recognized it, looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling in surprise, and said to Rong Xi: "Queen Mother, this is the palace maid of our Jiaofang Palace, named Xiao Si!" ”
As soon as Lu Qi's words came out, Rong Xi had a little impression.
"It turned out to be you."
Looking at Xiao Si, Rong Xi looked at Qian Yu in confusion.
"The Empress Dowager, Qianyu investigated the jewelry in the name of the prince, originally wanted to confirm the authenticity of these jewelry, but I didn't expect to catch the palace maid who stole the queen mother's jewelry."
Qianyu saluted and slowly told all the truth.
"Steal?"
The officials on the side looked at the palace maid sitting on the ground, she didn't dare to look at people at all, but she was trembling, looking like she wanted to escape.
"That's right, I accidentally saw this palace maid holding the jewelry handed over to the Ministry of Punishment that day, and hurriedly followed, I knew that the jewelry was in the hands of the prince and would not be stolen by others, so I checked it out by the way. This palace maid is named Xiao Si, serving in the Jiaofang Palace, a few days ago, when the Queen Mother was not paying attention, she stole the Queen Mother's jewelry, and then, she took fake jewelry to fill the loopholes, trying not to let the Queen Mother notice. ”
Qian Yu told all the truth, which can also explain why there are palace maids in the Jiaofang Palace who have found out the previous jewelry.
"No, it's not like that."
Xiao Si heard Qian Yu's words, and quickly raised his head and defended himself.
just touched Rong Xi's gaze, and he was frightened back again, lowered his head, and was no longer so reckless.
"What's going on?"
Rong Xi looked at Xiao Si, and was extremely reluctant to be the person in the Jiaofang Palace.
She usually treats the palace maids well, and the treatment in other palaces is not as good as that of Jiaofang Palace, but if Xiao Sizhen does this, it will really disappoint Rong Xi too much.
Although he is not from here, Rong Xi also understands the hard work of the palace maids, so he treats them well.
"I didn't mean it, I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me, I ask the Queen Mother to forgive me!" Xiao Si hurriedly kowtowed.
A red mark was added to her forehead, and every time she snapped her head, Rong Xi felt as if her forehead was about to be broken, and she couldn't bear it in her heart.
Her heart was still extremely soft, and she hurriedly squatted down and supported Xiao Si.
"Okay, if you tell all the truth, the mourning family will never let you suffer too much."
At this point, Xiao Si knew that she could only catch Rong Xi, and only Rong Xi could help her.
"That day, I accidentally broke the Queen Mother's jewelry, I was careless, and then I was afraid of being scolded by the Queen Mother, so I thought about sending things out of the palace for repair, and then secretly returned them, I was really wronged! I didn't do anything! ”
Xiao Si finished explaining, and hurriedly buckled his head again to prove his innocence.
Hearing Xiao Si's explanation, Rong Xi hurriedly grabbed her and didn't let her continue to kowtow, she looked at Mu Guichen with pleading eyes.
"She didn't mean to, so she really spared her."
Rong Xi said softly, and Xiao Si looked at her gratefully.
"If the Queen Mother lets her go, then what about these jewelry?"
Qian Yu took out a brocade box from the inner lining, and it was full of those jewelry, but one of them was broken.
After receiving those jewelry, Rong Xi hurriedly called Lu Qi to take a good look.
"Midori!"
Lu Qi took the brocade box, looked at it, and nodded.
"These are indeed the dowries of the Queen Mother, but, what are those?"
Looking at the dowry collected on the side in a daze, Lu Qi paced over and carefully examined it, only to find that all the dowry collected was not real.
She just saw the jewelry and found it back, Rong Xi didn't say it, she didn't think about checking it, but now when she looks at it, she can see that it's all fake, only the one in Qianyu's hand is real.
"What's going on?"
Rong Xi sank his face and looked at Xiao Si. What went wrong in this link, only Xiao Si knows.
Xiao Si heard Lu Qi's words, and hurriedly said with a face full of wrongs: "Aunt Lu Qi, you have to see clearly, I didn't steal anything, I was innocent, I really gave away all the jewelry, and I obediently took it back!" ”
"Wronged?"
Hearing Xiao Si quibbling, Rong Xi looked at Qian Yu, Qian Yu was so confident, it could only be that Xiao Si really stole something and did something else!
Qian Yu is the most powerful person beside Mu Guichen, and he will never make any mistakes.
"If you obediently tell all the truth, I can ignore what happened before, if you don't say it, I'm afraid that your relatives will also suffer more because of you."
Rong Xi threatened that she would not be powerful, and everyone would treat her as a sick cat.
"I was wronged! I was really wronged! Dowager! ”
hugged Rong Xi's thigh, Xiao Si cried, every sound was very aggrieved.
"What? Do you think Qianyu has wronged you? Qianyu is the regent's person, the most powerful person, what you mean by this is nothing more than that the regent wronged you, you are not wrong, can the mourning family understand it like this? ”
Gently kicked Xiao Si away, Rong Xi looked at her, there was no trace of warmth for a long time, she believed in everyone in the Jiaofang Hall so much, but there was such a thing, which made her realize that she was good to others, but others did not necessarily return the same good, she was really stupid, she even believed Xiao Si's words just now!
