Chapter 60: Self-Confession is More Dignified
In the horror of everyone, a night pearl illuminated the hall, and the palace people lit the lights, and everyone sat in their places.
"Queen Mother, the five phoenix steps on your head are gone." Mama Su exclaimed.
The Queen Mother sat beside the emperor, and there were palace people waiting around her, and if she wanted to approach the Queen Mother and steal the five phoenixes and gold on the Queen Mother's head, it was impossible, unless it was the hands of the people around her, seeing that the people around the Queen Mother were already old people, there was no reason to offend the Queen Mother for a step.
Who doesn't know in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty that the emperor is the most filial, and someone is looking for death if someone attacks the queen mother under his nose.
At the same time, Yue Xin also said softly: "Madam, why is the step shake on your head gone......"
"Really?" Gu Zhanshi reached out to touch the step shake on his head suspiciously, and it was indeed disappeared as Yue Xin said, this was a gift made by Gu Yunxin himself, and this gift was much more precious than anything else.
"In this palace, there are still people who can steal the step shake of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Gu in such a short period of time, and this step shake is still given by the county lord of Xiyue, is this a provocation with the royal family?" The Emperor said angrily.
"As my father said, this lost step shake is made by the county lord of Xiyue himself, although it is not worth a lot of money, but it represents the respect and affection of the county lord of Xiyue to the imperial grandmother, I am afraid that some people are worried that the imperial grandmother likes the county lord of Xiyue too much, so they have this move." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Fifth brother, I don't think so, I think someone is trying to engage in a conspiracy behind it, do you think, why do you want to lose these two steps? If someone harmed the county lord of Xiyue and threw the imperial grandmother's step in the vicinity, wouldn't that frame the imperial grandmother? Or, if someone steals something, and then pretends to lose Mrs. Gu's steps at the scene, then wouldn't the Gu family be unlucky? King Huai said with a solemn expression.
It was as if he had seen someone really do this, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor couldn't help but bow their heads slightly when they heard King Huai like this, indeed, these two things were lost at the same time, it was definitely not as simple as an accident, but someone had carefully planned it for a long time.
"Come on, block the main hall, don't allow anyone to enter or leave, search for me, and find two steps today no matter what." The emperor said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yunxin looked in the direction of Xiao Sirui, and the maid Yun Pendant behind her changed her face slightly, and it was obvious that Gu's mother's step was on her.
Thinking of the dark time just now, Xiao Sirui ordered someone to get it out, in order to make Gu's mother's step shake disappear, but what she probably didn't expect was that the queen mother's step shake was also lost at the same time.
I'm afraid that the person who is most afraid now is the cloud fall, if Mrs. Gu's steps are searched out on her body, she is covered with mouths, and she can't tell. According to Gu Yunxin's understanding of Xiao Sirui, at that time, Xiao Sirui will definitely push Yun Fall out to take the blame.
Because, Xiao Sirui is a person who wants to be the queen, the queen of a country, and the courtiers do not allow any stain on her body at all.
"Presumptuous, you dare to search Miss Ben, Miss Ben is very far away from Mrs. Degu and the Queen Mother, besides, isn't it just two steps? Do you lack this bit of silver in my Anle Hou Mansion? The woman scolded coldly.
Hearing this, the few grandmothers led by Mama Su were slightly blessed, "Miss Lou, the slave knows that you are the young lady of the Anle Hou Mansion, not to mention, whether the Anle Hou Mansion is short of money, but now the emperor has ordered a search to find the Queen Mother's step, if this matter has nothing to do with the young lady, what does the young lady have to worry about?" ”
"Lan Meng, don't mess around, several grandmothers are all serving by the Queen Mother's side, you have to understand the rules." Lou Lanmeng's mother said in a deep voice.
"Mother......" Lou Lanmeng still wanted to be coquettish, but in the end she was stopped by An Lehou's gaze.
Most of the women of many official eunuchs in the Great Zhou Dynasty were pampered, and there were not a few like Xiao Sirui and Lou Lanmeng. Gu Yunxin has always been different among them, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, she will not be the same as these people.
"Miss Lou, you'd better cooperate with the slave maid to go to the nearby Nuan to be checked, and don't cause trouble to your family." Mama Su said coldly.
This Lou Lanmeng really can't see the facts, most of what is lost today is only Mrs. Gu's step, perhaps, there will not be such a large-scale search, but now the queen mother's step is gone, if it is not checked, then where is the royal prestige.
Su Mama naturally can't find anything on the side of Anle Hou's Mansion, she has checked all the mansions, and soon found Ningguohou's Mansion, how could Xiao Yuanshan let people check his own home, just now King Huai said that his daughter had robbed Gu Yunxin's Bu Shao, now don't lose it, if she finds Bu Shao on Xiao Sirui or the people around her, then his daughter's life will be ruined.
"Mama Su, although you are serving the Queen Mother, but not everyone in my family can search her body, if you have to search, please also ask Mama Yang beside the Queen Mother to search." Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile.
Today's Xiao family is in full swing, and the power in the court is also intertwined, even the emperor will not treat him well, Mama Su naturally knows this. Mama Yang is a person next to the queen, even if she finds something on Xiao Sirui's body, she will pretend not to find it.
This Xiao Yuanshan made it clear that he knew something, so he would have such an arrangement, "Ning Guohou's proposal is indeed good, but since this matter is the responsibility of the slave maid, the slave maid should have a beginning and an end." ”
"Mama Su, this official respects you for following the Queen Mother, but don't be uplifted." Ning Guohou said angrily.
"Ning Guohou, if this king is you, in order to clear up the suspicion, you naturally choose to let Mama Su investigate, Mama Yang is the person next to the queen, the queen is from the Xiao family, if this matter is done by Mama Yang, wouldn't it be suspected of partiality?" King Rui smiled lightly.
"Yes, what my fifth brother said is correct, Marquis Ning, no matter how powerful your Xiao family is, you are just a minister, don't want to distinguish between good and bad." King Huai shook his folding fan and said.
"King Huai...... You ......" Ning Guohou glared at King Huai angrily, he really wanted to strangle him immediately, how could there be this King Huai at any time.
"What, does Ning Guohou think that King Huai is wrong? Hou Ye is a second grade, Wang Ye is a first grade, Xiao Hou Ye is going to commit the following crimes? ”
"His Royal Highness King Rui, Ben Hou didn't mean this, it's just that King Huai is aggressive, and Ben Hou is also in a hurry, please forgive King Rui."
"Hou Ye is wrong, the first thing Hou Ye wants to ask for forgiveness is his father, and the second is the ninth brother of this king, what does this have to do with this king?" King Rui sneered.
"Mama Su, don't continue to investigate soon, the mourning family must find Wufeng Jin Buyao today, otherwise no one will want to leave the palace." The Queen Mother said angrily.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the courtiers have a way to make Bu Shao find it faster." Gu Yunxin slowly got up and saluted.
"Oh? Yunxin girl, what can you do? ”
"All the people present today are the ministers of the court, although Mama Su is on the order of the Queen Mother to search, it is inevitable that there will be some high-ranking and powerful people who do not cooperate, and want to let Bu Shao find it as soon as possible, so Yun Xin suggested that they all stand in the center of the hall, dance hard, and do a few more dance moves, if that person really has a step shake hidden on his body, then the step shake will definitely fall out."
This method is actually the most appropriate method, women dance, many movements are relatively large, so, when dancing, they have to change into dancing clothes.
"Well, the mourning family thinks this method is very good, so let's do it." The Queen Mother said lightly.
Gu Yunxin's proposal actually greatly resolved the contradiction between Mama Su and those courtiers, Mama Su is the queen mother's person, and this matter can be regarded as a solution for the queen mother.
Gu Yunxin knew that this queen mother was the smartest, with her in the harem, Queen Xiao would not dare to make a move on her easily, she canceled the marriage contract with Xiao Ziming, and then designed to lose Xiao Sirui's identity as the county lord.
"Gu Yunxin, what do you mean by this, do you want to embarrass us like this?" Xiao Sirui said coldly.
"Miss Xiao, what you say, Yun Xin doesn't understand, if you let Mama Su go to search one by one, waste time and don't say anything, and make it unconvincing, if the person who stole the step shake stands up, everyone will be fine, in the end, it is because of the greed of some people that it has affected everyone. Yun Xin just didn't want everyone to be searched like a thief, so he thought of this method, if Miss Xiao had a good way, Yun Xin was willing to obey Miss Xiao. ”
"Miss Yun Xin is right, the princess of this world is willing to demonstrate first." Zhan Xinyue said lightly.
After finishing speaking, Zhan Xinyue slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and simply danced a few Hu Xuan dances, but still nothing fell from her body.
Zhan Xinyue is the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion and the princess of the Xiangyang Palace, she has already set an example, and the other young ladies of the Guifu will naturally not be rejected anymore.
"Since Princess Xiangyang has said so, then our Shen family must also find a way to prove our innocence." After finishing speaking, Shen Xiang and Shen Han made a few movements as Zhan Xinyue did just now, and similarly, nothing fell out of her body.
The Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion and the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo are both second-grade Marquis Mansions, and there is a precedent, if Xiao Sirui does not do the same, then she will be tantamount to acquiescing that she is a thief.
Xiao Sirui came to the center of the hall and saluted to the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress slightly, "Since the young ladies of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion have all proven their innocence, if our Marquis of Ningguo Mansion does not prove it, I am afraid that we will be wrongfully killed." After speaking, Xiao Sirui danced, she danced a dance called Ta Ge, it was very joyful to sing and dance, and it was also very suitable to perform on the birthday of the Queen Mother.
It's just that the dance was only halfway through when something slipped out of her arms, and Mama Su stepped forward to take a look, and it turned out to be the Queen Mother's five phoenixes.
Xiao Sirui was also frightened, she just went to steal Mrs. Gu's step, when did the queen mother's step run to herself? Raising her eyes to look at Gu Yunxin, she saw that the corners of Gu Yunxin's mouth were slightly raised, and she knew that all of this was Gu Yunxin's hands and feet.
"The Queen Mother, Si Rui is wronged, this step is not stolen by Si Rui, this is someone who wants to frame Si Rui, and please ask the emperor and the Queen Mother to find out." After that, Xiao Sirui fell to the ground and cried......
