Chapter 3: Calling Her Alone

The two of them spent half a day before they came to the result, and it was already dark at this time.

And Qiao Niannian also formed a year-old friendship with Jishitang's doctor, Dr. Qin, and Qiao Niannian was very happy.

On the way home, Qiao Niannian was hit by another person.

"Oops......" Before Qiao Niannian could call for help, he was hugged by someone.

"Lady." The man who hugged her had a bewitching face and was very beautiful.

"Dengzi!" Qiao Niannian hurriedly stood up and tidied up her dress, "If you bump into a girl casually on the road, you will call someone a lady, so you are not ashamed." ”

"You saved my life, look at my body, aren't you my lady?" The man's eyes crooked with a smile.

"What nonsense!" Xiao Ran hurriedly rushed over, "If you want to bully our young lady like this, we will report to the official!" ”

"I might as well tell you, I'm the one you saved in Linzhou," the man suddenly approached Qiao Niannian's ear and said, "Gongzhijin." After saying that, he turned around and left," Renault said, preparing a sedan chair for the princess and sending it back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Yes, master." Renault answered, but Lei Yan beside him was silent.

On the second day, Qiao Niannian was summoned into the palace again, but this time it was very strange, only she was called, and she did not go to the Queen Mother's bedroom, but to the Zhongcui Palace where Concubine Jing was located.

Entering the palace, Qiao Niannian witnessed Concubine Jing lying in a pool of eye-catching blood on the ground.

What's so ...... Qiao Niannian scolded wildly in his heart. While scolding, I went to check the situation, and I was as careful as possible, but I still couldn't prevent blood stains on my shoes.

The palace door was suddenly opened again, and a palace maid walked in.

"Miss Qiao Er, this time you can't wash it when you jump into the Yellow River!" Qiao'er's words were not only firm, but also a little gloating.

"I have no grievances with you...... "Before Qiao Niannian finished reading his lines, there was another big movement outside the door.

"The queen--drive-to--" After the announcement, everyone knelt down to greet them.

"How could this happen?!" Du Ranmo, who came in a hurry, asked with a calm face, "Concubine Jing...... How did you pass away? ”

"Back to Niangniang's words," Qiao'er hurriedly said, "The slave maid found that Concubine Jing's house was too quiet, so she thought about asking Niangniang what she needed, but as soon as she entered the door, she found Niangniang lying in a pool of blood......"

Concubine Jing was just like her title, quietly closing her eyes, lying in the shocking blood, and there was still some weird beauty.

"When you found Concubine Jing, was someone else present?!" Du Ran Mo didn't look surprised or scared, and asked.

"Queen Mother!" Qiao'er hurriedly said, "The slave maid saw Miss Qiao Er standing next to that pool of blood!" ”

"Qiao Niannian, can you plead guilty?" Du Ran Mo couldn't wait to let this murder case have a coffin conclusion immediately.

"The courtiers cannot confess their sins." Although Qiao Niannian was kneeling, his tone did not back down at all.

The atmosphere in Zhong Cui's palace suddenly froze.

After a stalemate of about half a pillar of incense, Qiao Qianzhong and Concubine Jing's parents, Chen Shangshu and his wife, were summoned as quickly as possible.

"Queen Mother, although the little girl is stubborn on weekdays, she will never be able to do such a life-threatening thing," Qiao Duzhong knelt on the ground and said sullenly, "What's more, this is a harem nobleman!" Although Qiao Quanzhong was pleading for Qiao Niannian with this, Qiao Niannian just lowered his head, and he couldn't feel his father's love for him at all.

He's just afraid that he's being affected by his own concubine.

"My daughter...... Oh my daughter! - "Mrs. Chen couldn't care about the presence of the queen and the others, and was stopped by Chen Shangshu and a maid not to touch Concubine Jing and wept bitterly, "Why were you killed!" ——”

"Emperor-up-on-car-to-to-" As soon as this announcement sounded, Chen Shangshu hurriedly covered his wife's mouth, and then, Gongzhicheng rushed over.

"See Your Majesty!" All bowed and bowed.

Gongzhicheng couldn't say anything when he saw Concubine Jing who was in a miserable state of death, and the people kneeling in this room.

Witnessing the people of the Tai Hospital carrying Concubine Jing out, Gongzhi clenched his fists, trembling all over, and his most beloved concubine died in the palace, how could this not make him sad and angry?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing has many scars all over her body, some of the wounds cut into the blood, and she lost too much blood. But the real fatal cause of death is this hairpin, "The judge of the Tai Hospital solemnly presented a slightly old hairpin in front of Gongzhicheng, "The hairpin itself is not long, but it is pierced in the vital acupuncture point, and it kills with one needle." ”

"Got it, you take the person back to the Tai Hospital first, so that the students can check it." When Gongzhicheng said this, he gritted his teeth.

The palace returned to silence.

"What the hell is going on!" It was not easy for Gongzhicheng to calm down his emotions and ask with a calm face.

"Back to the emperor," the fierce-looking grandmother saluted and said, "Concubine Jing died tragically in the palace, and the murderer is Miss Qiao Er, Qiao Niannian!" ”

"How do you determine?" Du Ran Mo asked before Gong Zhicheng could speak.

"Back to the queen, the palace maid Lin'er is an eyewitness," Mama's expression was really a little indescribable, and she said in a sharp voice, "Please also ask the emperor and queen to see." ”

"On what basis did you identify Qiao Niannian?" Du Ran Mo asked pretendedly.

"It's the murder weapon, that hairpin!" Lin'er knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "This hairpin is Miss Qiao Er's!" As he spoke, he gestured to Qiao Niannian on the side with his eyes.

"Since this hairpin is confirmed to be Qiao Niannian's, the evidence is conclusive!" Du Ranmo was really a little anxious when he said this, "Come on!" Nian Qiao ......"

"Wait," Gong Zhicheng suddenly interrupted the queen's words, and said, "It is too hasty to convict murder with just one hairpin." ”

"Your Majesty, can you let the courtiers take a look at the hairpin?" Qiao Niannian, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally spoke.

She had been observing who wanted to blame her before, and through the actions of the others, she already understood a thing or two in her heart, and she only needed to look at the evidence.

This sound made everyone present look at her one after another, with different expressions, watching the play, hateful, and wanting to kill her.

Gong Zhicheng turned around and glanced at him, he knew that this matter was definitely not something that this little girl could do, and he who had always demanded himself with Mingjun, for this concubine of the Qiao family, his fairness and justice would not be less than half a point.

Hearing that this little girl was bold, careful and intelligent at a young age, he wanted to see her reaction this time.

"Let's show her," his eyes motioned to the imperial doctor beside him to hand her the hairpin.

The queen and Lin'er's eyes flickered, and when she was told to do this, she told her to be neat with her hands and feet, so that people could not see the mistakes, and now they just waited to see this girl fall into the net.

Qiao Niannian looked at this hairpin carefully, for fear that others would not know, the hairpin was engraved with an obvious "Nian" word, although the style is a little old, but in terms of this luxurious pattern and the fineness of the workmanship, with her as an unfavored concubine, this kind of finished good thing could not be sent to her at all, so it was taken away by the eldest lady and Qiao Yuyan.

But she didn't understand, whose interests did she touch and wanted to put her to death?

"Back to the emperor, this hairpin is not a people's girl." Qiao Niannian's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, echoing in Zhong Cui Palace.

"Oh?" Gongzhi raised his eyebrows, obviously looking at the little girl's composure, "You can tell me about it." ”

"First, this hairpin is slightly old, but the reading on it is newly engraved, obviously someone has made full preparations in order to marry the people's daughter, and second, the people's girl is just a concubine of the prime minister's house, according to the rules, the style of this hairpin should be worn by a person of higher rank."

"Your Majesty!" Qiao Niannian knelt down and bowed, and slammed his head on the floor, "Today's thing is that someone sincerely harmed the people's daughter, and I also ask the emperor to investigate and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and the dead Concubine Jing and the people's daughter have a justice!" ”

"The prisoner is going to talk nonsense!" Du Ran was anxious, and pointed at Qiao Nian who was about to have a seizure, but was interrupted by a sound outside the hall.

"What are you doing sneakily running out of this little palace maid!" Outside Zhong Cui Palace, Gong Zhijin walked in with a little palace maid, it was the same Lin'er just now.

Lin'er was thrown to the ground by Renault like a chicken, not daring to look up, and there was also a little eunuch who was also thrown in.

Gongzhijin swaggered in and threw a wink at Qiao Niannian, who had just raised his head, Qiao Niannian immediately shivered, it was that disciple again! What is he doing here, could it be that he is also a person in the palace.

"It's quite lively," Gongzhi Jin looked around before saluting Gongzhicheng, "Your Majesty, this little palace maid sneakily ran out of Zhongcui Palace just now, just to see this little eunuch, and the two of them happened to be met by Renault when they were about to run away." ”

Gongzhijin was not born by the emperor, but he was raised by the queen mother since he was a child, and the queen mother treated him like a grandson, and he didn't like to be restrained and often played outside, so he also went with him, so he developed this arbitrary temperament.

Now that everything is clear, Qiao Niannian also breathed a sigh of relief, "Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look!" ”

"You get up first!" Gongzhicheng said to Qiao Niannian.

stepped forward and kicked Lin'er's body, with irrepressible anger in his eyes, "Say!" What the hell is going on! ”

Lin'er was stumbling, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she glanced at the queen with squinted eyes, and found that the queen had no intention of saving her.

"Lin'er, this palace treats you well, why do you want to do such a big rebellious thing, it really makes this palace feel cold!" After the queen finished speaking, she hid her face with a handkerchief and shook her shoulders in makeup

Lin'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Return, return to the emperor...... It was the slave and the maid who wanted to harm Miss Qiao, and it was all the slave's fault. ”

"Pull it out! Rod! The Emperor brushed his sleeves away.

"Huh" Qiao Niannian breathed a long sigh of relief, after everyone left, only her and Gongzhijin were left at this time.

"Lady~" Gongzhijin regained the appearance of the hippie smile, and stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Niannian.

This disciple is a pervert! Qiao Niannian dodged with amazing bounce power.

"Why are you so ruthless, people obviously saved you, but you don't recognize people when you turn your face!" Gongzhi Jin is coquettish.

That's it, Qiao Niannian endured the disgust and walked back, "Thank you Gongzi for breaking the siege." ”

"Niannian, do you want to have a face and have a cup of tea together."

couldn't stand Gongzhijin's stalking, Qiao Niannian also accompanied her, and the two of them could be regarded as having talked and laughed for an afternoon, but I didn't expect this disciple to be quite humorous.

After a day's tossing, it was already evening when I returned to the house.

"Rebel girl! As soon as he entered the palace, he caused such a disaster! also hooked up with men indiscriminately and lost our prime minister's mansion! ”

As soon as she entered the door, she was scolded by Liu, but she was used to it for a long time, Liu saw that she didn't react, so she asked her grandmother to press her, beat her twenty boards, and threw her in the firewood room.

Qiao Niannian curled up in the firewood room and fell asleep, she had a dream, in the dream there was a very rich woman, who looked very much like her mother, but no matter how she called, that person just refused to turn around.

"Niannian, help me find my mother." A female voice kept echoing in my ears.

"Mother, Mother!" Qiao Niannian woke up with a shout, and the voice in the dream told her that her biological father had died a long time ago, only her mother was still in the world, anyway, there was nothing to be nostalgic for in this place now, she slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and ran to the door of a family with the memory in the dream.

But the janitor saw that she was dressed shabby, and regarded her as a flower child who came to ask for food, and drove her out without saying anything.
