Chapter 14: Innocence

Hearing the news, Hua Ying instinctively felt that those two people were likely to be Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu.

And Zhang Guifei, who heard the news, was a little annoyed.

Annoyed that this eunuch was so imprudent, he shook out the matter of a concubine falling into the water in front of the public.

Seeing the gloating eyes of some concubines, Zhang Guifei forcibly endured her displeasure and asked, "Someone is drowning?" Saved? ”

This eunuch, because he was honestly arranged to be a steward on the island, had never encountered such a thing, so he panicked for a while, so he hurriedly rushed in to pray.

At this time, he saw the many curious eyes around him, and he felt that there was something wrong with what he was doing.

He replied with some chagrin: "The person has been rescued, but it is a little late, so that both of them are unconscious."

"So what are you waiting for? Go and get a doctor. After speaking, Zhang Guifei stood up in a hurry.

This event was organized by her, and if anything went wrong, she would definitely be the one in charge. Therefore, Zhang Guifei also wanted to find out the cause and effect of this incident as soon as possible.

"Where are these two placed? Take me to see it. ”

After taking two steps and thinking for a while, he said, "There was an accident just now, your sisters wait here for a while, don't leave." ”

When such a big event happens, she wants to appease the people sitting down first, and then go and see how this matter is.

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Hua said: "Sister Zhang, for no reason, how can there be a concubine falling into the water?" It's no small feat, so we'd better go together. ”

Hua Guifei didn't want to be pressed by Zhang Guifei, listened to her arrangement, and also wanted to see what was going on, so it was best to catch Zhang Guifei's mistakes.

"What's the deal with something this big happening and trapping us here? Can't we be treated as prisoners? Lin Xiurong also shouted in a dissatisfied voice.

Lin Xiurong was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, as if she didn't realize that her subordinates Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu had not returned.

Zhang Guifei looked around at the muttering concubines, and saw that there were many people who were dissatisfied with her arrangement, and she secretly hated it in her heart.

"Since all the sisters want to go, let's go together."

It was difficult to disobey the will, so Zhang Guifei took a group of people to Binhu Xiaozhu.

This lakeside building, with reference to the allusion, a few dynasties ago there was a hermit who liked strange mountains and different waters, and after discovering a cold pool, he loved it even more, and then simply settled on the side of the pond and lived.

Not far from Hantan, there are several exquisite farmhouses built on the edge of the forest.

The two are not far apart, but there are many trees in between.

At that time, because the people who swept here heard someone crying for help, they ran over to find them overboard.

The palace maids on this island are by the lake all the year round, and most of them are familiar with water, and after the two of them were rescued, they were placed here after a simple rescue.

When they arrived, both men were unconscious.

took a closer look, and found that the two were Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu as expected.

Then he left the small room and went to the hall of the lakeside building.

Zhang Guifei immediately summoned the relevant eunuchs to come in and ask, "When will the imperial doctor arrive?" ”

"There is no imperial doctor on the island, so I have to send someone to the imperial hospital to ask for it, and I can't come for a while, but when the two nobles were rescued, the palace maid gave them a simple first aid." The eunuch in charge returned.

"Who found the two overboard?"

A maid of the palace came out and saluted, and said, "It's a slave."

"The slave maid was cleaning here, and then I faintly heard the sound of a quarrel, but at first the slave and maid thought that they had heard it wrong, and they didn't care. It wasn't until I heard someone shouting for help that I realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ran over. ”

Then she said, "After discovering that someone really fell into the water, the slave and maid hurriedly called someone to save her." ”

At this point, Zhang Guifei immediately became keenly acutely aware:

"Do you hear why these two are arguing?"

After carefully contemplating her eyebrows and thinking for a while, the palace maid shook her head, "The two nobles didn't argue loudly at first, and they didn't hear it clearly, but then they only heard the voice shouting for help. ”

Zhang Guifei didn't believe that two good people would run here without any trouble, and then accidentally fell into the water, there must be a cat in it.

"Were there palace maids waiting for the two of them at that time?"

"Back to Niangniang, when the two of them went ashore, there was no palace maid with them."

After a few questions, everyone present understood that these two people definitely did not fall into the water, but why did they come here? And because of what happened, there was a dispute? Everyone was puzzled.

In order to find out the truth, Zhang Guifei ordered: "Go to the Hantan again to see if there are any clues." ”

"Let's find out which way Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu went to Hantan? Who did you meet? Zhang Guifei added.

Thinking that she had met them, Hua Ying immediately came out to prove her innocence:

"Tell Niangniang, the two slave sisters once met Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu."

Hearing this, Concubine Zhang's expression was quite a bit of a throne.

"Oh, is it? Was there anything unusual about the two of them at that time? ”

Hua Ying pondered for a moment how the two of them behaved at the time, and replied, "There is nothing abnormal. ”

The person sent out to investigate will not come back for a while, Zhang Guifei said sarcastically. ：

"Then it seems that the truth can only be revealed when the imperial doctor comes to wake up the two of them."

I don't know how long later, the person sent by Zhang Guifei's subordinates to investigate came back, ignoring everyone's complicated gazes, and whispered in her ear.

After listening to the Chinese words of her subordinates, Zhang Guifei said with willow eyebrows, and asked Hua Ying angrily with an angry face:

"Gorgeous people!"

"The palace maids under this palace have already asked the palace people on the island, and some people said that they saw Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu talking to you, and then they never saw you again."

"Moreover, the silk threads on the clothes were found on the branches of the trees on the edge of the cold pool where the two fell into the water, and these silk threads seem to have been inadvertently hung by the branches during the murder."

"The palace has also ordered someone to check, these silk threads are special, soaked in peach tree sap, and in the palace, except for this Taoist robe on your body, who would use such a special silk thread."

Unlike other garments, the materials and ornaments on them often have special meanings. In particular, Wuwei Dao, who believes in ghosts and gods, often soaks it in peach tree sap when making Taoist robes in order to ward off evil spirits.

Zhang Guifei's stormy questioning did not frighten Hua Ying.

She realized that it might be a conspiracy, a conspiracy against her.

She was talking to the two of them at the time, and the sixth girl and Bizhu were next to her, and she could explain.

Regarding the silk threads on her clothes, Hua Ying immediately thought that Wu Baolin almost bumped into her at that time, and she must have succeeded at that time.

After thinking quickly, Hua Ying was about to defend herself.

The imperial doctor, who arrived not long ago, came with the news that Wu Baolin and the imperial heir in his stomach were not saved.

And Zhang Cainu woke up......
