CHAPTER XV

Chapter 15 Escape

After waiting for a long time, the imperial doctor who finally arrived belatedly treated Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu.

In the suspicious, speculative, and curious eyes of the women, they hesitated to tell Zhang Guifei the thunderous news.

Wu Baolin is pregnant!

Imperial bloodline, which makes the already complicated things even more complicated.

Everyone also vaguely guessed the reason why the people behind the scenes did it:

Get rid of the royal heir.

As soon as the imperial doctor's words fell, Lin Xiurong couldn't wait to say to Hua Ying on the side: "You actually dare to murder the emperor's heir!" ”

Originally, Zhang Guifei's words made everyone suspicious of Hua Ying, and this time Lin Xiurong jumped out in a vain attempt to condemn her "crime" to death.

Now everyone's suspicion of her deepened.

Hua Ying didn't actually take Lin Xiurong's words to heart because she hadn't done it! On the contrary, she was a little suspicious of Lin Xiurong's attitude:

At the beginning, Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu, who were his subordinates, did not appear at the banquet, but Lin Xiurong ignored them and didn't care at all.

When a eunuch came in to report that someone had fallen into the water, Lin Xiurong not only did not think of the two people under him, but looked like he had nothing to do with himself and had to join in the fun.

Although Lin Xiurong has always shown a big face, in this case, Hua Ying does not believe that a person can have such a big heart.

Besides, now he can't wait to jump out, trying in vain to prove that he is the murderer.

Hua Ying felt that she either fell into the well and wanted to step on herself, or she was eager to cover up the truth.

Although Lin Xiurong always has so many suspicious things, Hua Ying will not say it at this time, if she says it now, everyone will only think that she is "jumping over the wall in a hurry and climbing and biting indiscriminately".

In this regard, Hua Ying did not look at Lin Xiurong, but solemnly gave a big gift to Zhang Guifei:

"Look at the concubine Niangniang Mingjian!"

"Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu fell into the water and really have nothing to do with me, for three reasons."

After spitting out these powerful words, she continued:

"First, the slave did meet Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu on the way to play, and talked with them."

"But at that time, the slave's sister and the palace maid were both on the side, and there was nothing wrong with our conversation."

Zhang Guifei has not yet expressed her position, and Lin Xiurong eagerly jumped out to grab the words:

"Who knows if you're in the same group?"

Lin Xiurong said cautiously! The matter has not been investigated clearly, and there is no conclusion, do you want to pour dirty water on my Hua family? In the face of Lin Xiurong's several provocations, Concubine Hua couldn't hold back any longer.

can't write two Chinese characters in one stroke, and these doubts about the Hua family are slapping her in the face.

It's just a small cosmetic appearance, and he dares to step on the Hua family.

"Okay, Lin Xiurong don't make any more trouble!" In the face of Lin Xiurong's repeated overstepping, Zhang Guifei was also a little bored.

"Second, Niangniang, please take a look."

After speaking, Hua Ying took off her outer robe and unfolded the fabric on the inside of her right elbow, on which there were indeed a few imperceptible traces

"After talking, the two of them saluted me and said goodbye, Zhang Cainu almost bumped into me, I helped her"

"At that time, she also helped my hand in order to stand firm, and the silk thread should have been scraped off at that time."

"That doesn't mean anything, it's easy to forge this trace!" Zhang Guifei said lightly.

Hua Ying knew that this was not strong evidence, it did not mean anything, and others did not necessarily believe it.

But she also found something.

Something that can completely clear oneself of suspicion.

"Third, and most importantly, the point."

"If it was really me who pushed Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu off the cold pool, not to mention how could I push the two of them alone?"

Before she finished her words, Lin Xiurong, who couldn't wait, interrupted.

"Didn't you say that you and your sister still have the palace maid all the way? Then the two of them happen to be your accomplices. ”

Originally, she was still a little suspicious, but seeing Lin Xiurong wanting to kill her like this, Hua Ying was sure that Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu falling into the water must have nothing to do with Lin Xiurong.

That's why she was so eager to draw suspicion to others.

The corners of Hua Ying's mouth hooked slightly, and she said sarcastically: "Lin Xiurong said it well!" ”

"If, it's really the three of us who pushed Wu Baolin and Zhang Cainu into the water!"

"Binhu Xiaozhu is so close to Hantan, why didn't the palace maid who ran out when she heard the call for help, didn't even see a trace of a person?"

After saying this, Hua Ying's words suddenly changed and became a little aggressive

"Don't say anything, we left too fast, we are all weak women who have lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can we run so fast."

After saying this, Hua Ying opened the window and pointed to the trees by the cold pool outside the house.

"There are few people here in the cold pool, the water vapor is heavy, and the leaves that usually fall have turned into thick silt."

Hua Ying has lived in the mountains since she was a child, and she knows the decay of the plants and trees in the mountains well.

"Although there is a lot of grass and trees growing on the edge of the cold pool in summer, it is shallow and covered, but there is still a thick layer of silt underneath."

Most of the concubines in the palace were born wealthy, and few knew that there was a muddy field under the seemingly lush grass and trees.

"If the three of us really left the pool, why didn't there be a trace of mud on our shoes?"

Zhang Guifei gestured to the palace maids beside her with her eyes and asked her to check the shoes of several of them.

For this framing full of loopholes, Hua Ying easily relied on her own strength to clear the suspicion.

She felt that no matter who the real culprit was behind the scenes, Lin Xiurong must have played a role in fueling the trouble.

After all, who is most likely to know in advance that Wu Baolin is pregnant? It must be someone who is usually close to her. As for who is most beneficial for Wu Baolin to get rid of the imperial heir?

After all, Lin Xiurong is not a person who is willing to let people climb on his head.

There was no clue when she came to check, and Zhang Guifei felt a little annoyed.

Because she presided over this banquet, before the banquet began, two concubines fell into the water, and one of them did not save a lot of the imperial heir, and he was still unconscious.

If the real murderer can't be found, it's not as simple as being seen as a joke, if His Majesty knows about it, the first person to be reprimanded will definitely be her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guifei couldn't help but be ruthless.

"Isn't there one who's already awake? Doesn't she know everything? ”

As soon as she heard Zhang Guifei say this, someone immediately echoed. :

"That's right! went to inquire about Zhang Cainu, and naturally everything was revealed. ”

When everyone walked into the room together, Zhang Cainu, who was huddled in the corner of the bed, trembled when she saw everyone.

Especially when he turned his gaze to Hua Ying, he screamed loudly: "No! No...... No...... Don't push me ......"
