"It's true that it's not the silver ticket used by the queen mother to distribute the moon", Yun Concubine nodded, took out a silver ticket from her body, put the two silver tickets together and compared them carefully, and said: "The silver tickets used by the queen mother to distribute the moon are stamped with wind seals, and the words are also the hairpin flowers that the queen is accustomed to, but the silver tickets that can be collected from this palace maid have neither wind marks, nor hairpins, but official books." Concubine Yun took a closer look and made a decision.

The queen nodded with an ugly face, as soon as she got the silver ticket, she found out that something was wrong, and Concubine Yun's words made her convinced that the silver ticket found from this palace maid was not issued by the harem, an ordinary little palace maid actually carried a silver ticket worth two thousand taels on her body, where did this silver ticket come from? It's thought-provoking.

In the palace, there are only two possibilities for a situation like this. One is that the palace maid stole the master's jewelry and beads without permission, and sold them outside the palace through a specific person, so she has the silver ticket outside the palace, and there is also a possibility that the palace maid accepted bribes and did things for others, and the things entrusted by the entrusted person are definitely not something that can be put on the surface. Either way, it's enough for the queen to be anxious.

Thinking of the second scenario, the queen's complexion was even worse. Governing the six palaces is her business, but she has been shirking to Yue'er these days, if the queen mother didn't bump into it today, it's good, but the queen mother just left, and also saw this palace maid, if she really asked something unspeakable today, even she would be guilty of negligence.

"What's your name? Which palace is it? Why do you have so many silver tickets on you? Let's be honest! The queen snorted coldly, with an indescribable sternness on her face.

Yuechan trembled all over, and her heart was numb.

Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?" Do you think you can't find out if you don't say it? The queen is giving you a chance, and you have to weigh it yourself. The threat in the words is even more meaningful.

Yuechan was silent for a long time, looked at the queen with a cold face, gritted her teeth, and slowly spoke.

"The slave maid Yuechan is the third-class palace maid of Yuxiu Pavilion, this silver ticket, this silver ticket is Ling Guifei's, and it was sent by Ling Guifei's father." Yuechan swallowed her saliva, mixing the truth and the fake, trying to get by.

"Really? Since this silver ticket is for Concubine Ling, how can it appear in your hands? The queen continued.

Yuechan held her body strongly.

"If you go back to the queen's mother, this silver ticket was transferred by the slave to Ling Guifei Niangniang, so it appeared on the slave and maid." Yuechan explained.

The queen frowned: "How does the palace know that you won't steal the silver ticket?" Can this silver ticket finally reach Concubine Ling's hands? The queen had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Yuechan's expression was relieved, and then she swore a promise.

"Niangniang rest assured, the slave maid has always sent the silver ticket to Concubine Ling as it is", worried that the queen would not believe her, Yuechan added: "Queen Niangniang, you can go and ask my mother, what the slave and maid said, there is absolutely no half a lie!" Yuechan looked anxious, for fear that the queen would not believe it.

In a place that everyone can't see, Concubine Ji hooked a slightly invisible angle because of her red lips, the water is full, and if she says too much, she will lose, but the poor horse's feet are exposed but she doesn't know it.

Everyone was silent for a while, and before the queen could speak, Concubine Yun was already the first to ask.

"You said this silver ticket belongs to Concubine Ling? But Concubine Ling was born in the people, and her parents have no proper occupation, and all the concubines know that Concubine Ling has secretly sent silver outside the palace to help her family over the years, and how can she ever receive half a tael of silver sent from outside the palace? ! You framed Concubine Ling and splashed the dirty water of the silver ticket on Concubine Ling, but you committed a big crime, even if you are executed by Ling Chi, it is not too much! ”

Yuechan shook it, she actually forgot about the affairs of the concubine's family!

The queen sneered: "Still not from the truth?!" Do you really want this palace to send you into the Punishment Division before you can let go? ”

At this point, the queen understood that I was afraid that things were not so simple. Since this palace maid said that the silver ticket was given to Ling Guifei by her family outside the palace, she knew that the matter was inseparable from Yuxiu Pavilion, so she sang and harmonized with Yun Concubine, and Yue Chan thought that she believed that the silver ticket was sent by Ling Guifei's family, and she also swore that the silver ticket was delivered to Ling Guifei's hands, and she could confront her face to face, Yuechan was so sure that Ling Guifei would hide it for her, it can be seen that Ling Guifei also plays an important role in this matter, if she doesn't ask the ins and outs clearly, her crime of negligence will be completely confirmed, not to mention, The queen's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of danger, which made the concubine arrogant for so long, and it was time to pay a price......

Yuechan's face hesitated, and she struggled between continuing to conceal and betraying her master, and in the end, Yuechan closed her eyes and made a decision.

"The queen mother, the slave maid is recruited from the truth, please let the slave and maid have a way out." Yuechan kowtowed solemnly, the Shen Penal Division is not a place for people to stay, once you enter the Shen Penal Division, you have to take off a layer of skin if you don't die, although she is a palace maid, she has not suffered anything since she was a child, she must not be able to bear it, and she still has relatives waiting for her at home, if something happens to her, they have no hope, the queen has always been gentle, maybe she will forgive herself. After thinking about it again, Yuechan decided to tell the truth.

Concubine Yun comforted at the right time: "Although you tell the truth, the queen mother is kind, and I believe that she will not punish you heavily." ”

After listening to Concubine Yun's words, Yuechan seemed to have a bottom in her heart, and her face was no longer so pale.

"Back to the queen mother, this silver ticket is not Concubine Ling's, but", Yuechan glanced at Concubine Ji and said slowly: "It's the pity of the concubine." ”

"What? You say this is my mother's silver ticket?! Concubine Ji's eyes widened in surprise.

The queen was puzzled: "This is the silver ticket for the concubine?" ”

Yuechan nodded: "The fifth princess can go to the queen mother to take a look, it is indeed a silver ticket commonly used by the concubine to reward her subordinates." ”

When the queen heard this, she motioned to Ziqing to hand the silver ticket to Concubine Ji.

Concubine Ji took the silver ticket suspiciously, looked at it carefully, and everyone was silent with bated breath, waiting for Concubine Ji's confirmation.

Concubine Ji was shocked: "This word, this stamp, is indeed the silver ticket of the mother concubine!" Although the unloved Jimo Shu has never seen the silver ticket of the concubine, this does not prevent Concubine Ji from talking nonsense.

The queen nodded with a heavy face, it was originally just a trivial matter, but now not only did she pull out Concubine Ling, but also implicated Concubine Pian, and all of a sudden the only two concubines in this palace were involved, and the pressure in the queen's heart was even greater.

Concubine Yun thoughtfully: "It seems that this silver ticket is really pitiful for the concubine." ”

"Shu'er, you give the silver ticket to Ziqing first, although this is your mother's silver ticket, it is also evidence, and I can't give it to you for the time being." The queen explained to Ji Feiyin.

Concubine Ji hurriedly handed the silver ticket to Ziqing: "Queen Mother, Shu'er knows that this is evidence, and she doesn't have the intention of getting it back, it's just", Concubine Ji frowned slightly, as if she had some great sorrow: "Although this silver ticket belongs to my mother's, Shu'er's mother has always abided by the palace rules and dare not take half a step over, Shu'er dares to guarantee that this matter must have nothing to do with the mother's concubine!" When it came to her mother, Concubine Ji's eyes were red, as if she was trying her best to justify her mother's name.

The queen was slightly moved and comforted Concubine Ji.

"Good boy, don't worry, this palace will definitely find out." Even if you don't say it, most of this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, but it is Concubine Ling who is the most suspicious person.

"Thank you, Queen!" Concubine Ji was overjoyed.

"It's really a good boy with filial piety, if you are the daughter of this palace, how good it would be." Concubine Yun looked at Concubine Ji and sighed. In the deep palace, don't say that the master and servant, sisters, and even their own children can turn against each other in an instant because of interests, but the fifth princess can stand up and vouch for her mother and concubine when everyone is busy clearing up suspicions, which cannot be described as her filial piety, not to mention that the public knows that the concubine does not love her only daughter, and the daughter who is not favored but does not have jealousy and helps to speak, how enviable it is.

"Niangniang praised it falsely, Shu'er didn't dare to be it." Concubine Ji buried her head in embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, this palace won't talk about you", Concubine Yun covered her lips and smiled: "It's better to deal with business first." Then he looked at the queen mother.

"Queen Mother, the concubine saw that this palace maid told the truth this time."

The queen nodded and continued to ask: "Why is the silver ticket of the concubine in the hands of you, a third-class palace maid who makes the concubine?" Why did you say before that this was Concubine Ling's silver ticket? Bring the cause and effect of the matter from the truth! ”

Yue Chan shrank her body and told the story all the time.

"Since I knew that the family of the poor concubine sent some items from outside the palace to the poor concubine every other day, the concubine sent the slave maid to the internal affairs office to secretly intercept a part of the silver taels, and finally the silver taels in the hands of the poor concubine were generally only a small part of the sent, and usually, the silver taels sent by the poor concubine's family were easy to carry silver tickets, and the slaves and maids had never been discovered."

Yuechan gritted her teeth and continued: "The slave maid has the intention of deceiving, so she said that this silver ticket is Ling Guifei's, even if the ladies ask about Ling Guifei, Ling Guifei will lie for the slave and maid, but it ......."

Concubine Yun sneered and received: "But I ignored that Concubine Ling's family couldn't have sent so many silver tickets, right?" ”

Yuechan lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

The queen's face was as pale as ice, and it was really Ling Guifei who was secretly playing ghosts, but the monthly money she gave her was strictly compared with the concubines in the palace, and because she had one more title "Order" than the concubine, the emperor loved her, and every time she sent treasures after her luck, not to mention that there were ten boxes and five boxes, her behavior was really surprising and unbelievable.

Ziqing frowned.

"Queen Mother, I'm afraid things are more than what this palace maid said."
