The people arranged by Wang Jinyun at the door quickly brought Xiao Qizi up. That little seventh son also heard about the follow-up of the rumors, and from then on, his heart was full of uneasiness and trepidation. Although he knew that there would be such a day when he was doing this, he was still very scared when the moment came.

"The little seventh son of the slave laundry bureau has seen the emperor and all the mothers." Xiao Qizi's voice trembled a little.

"Yan'er, you can come to trial." Li Yiqian ignored him, opened his eyes and said to Wu Yuyan.

"The concubine obeys the order." Wu Yuyan agreed with a smile.

"Do you know why this palace called you here today?" When the trial began, Wu Yuyan's face no longer had the smile she had just now, and her voice became cold.

"This ...... The slave didn't know, and asked the mother to make it clear. Li Yiqian didn't shout, so Xiao Qizi could only kneel there to answer, in this room everyone was sitting, and he was the only one kneeling, Xiao Qizi felt a strong sense of oppression.

"Have you heard of the rumors about Yun Guifei and Xin Zhaoyi in the palace before?" Wu Yuyan didn't care at all about his non-cooperation, once this matter was investigated, as long as it was involved, they would definitely be severely punished. This little eunuch looks like the kind of ambitious but incapable, he is naturally afraid of death, but since he has reached this point, then this matter must be solved, otherwise they will be in trouble in the end. Wu Yuyan's eyes crossed a ruthless color.

"The minions have heard. Niang Niang Mingjian, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the minion, and the minion has not spread rumors with others. ”

"Hehe, isn't this slave empty-hearted, Concubine Xian never said that this matter has anything to do with you, you are so anxious to deny it, there are really no three hundred taels of silver here." Wang Jinyun said with a smile.

"There are no slaves, don't wronged the slaves! The slave just watched Concubine Xian Niangniang call the slave over to ask about it, and wondered if someone had said bad things about the slave that made Niangniang have a misunderstanding about the slave. So...... That's why I'm in a hurry to argue. Xiao Qizi didn't expect that his first reaction would be to grab the handle for Wang Jinyun, but it was too late to regret it at this time, so he could only forcibly refute it.

Wang Jinyun didn't answer his words, and Wu Yuyan didn't continue to say this, but asked, "Where were you the night before the rumors came out?" Do what? Where were you the morning the rumors broke? ”

"The minions, of course, are in the laundry bureau. The weather is still a little hot now, and there are a lot of clothes piled up every day, so I have to get up early in the morning to do things, and the slaves will not come out if there is nothing to do on weekdays. "Xiao Qizi said justifiably, this is the work he has to do every day, every day is basically the same, only those days are different, so this answer is the safest.

"Oh? But Xiao Qiuzi didn't say that, he said that you were in Lanxi Palace on the morning when the rumors were spread. Is that right? Blue Beauty. Wu Yuyan's words were unhurried, and finally turned to Lan Yu.

"Impossible! The concubine has never seen any little Qiuzi, and she doesn't know this little seventh son! When Lan Yu heard Wu Yuyan's words, she immediately stood up and retorted loudly.

"The slave has never been to Lanxi Palace, the emperor should not listen to Xiao Qiuzi's words!" Xiao Qizi also knew the seriousness of this matter, so he followed up to refute it.

"Who is this little Qiuzi?" At this time, Li Yiqian asked.

"Back to the emperor, Xiao Qiuzi is Xiao Qizi's apprentice, and he is also on an errand in the laundry bureau. Now others are waiting outside the temple. Since Wu Yuyan is preparing to try the case today, she naturally has made a plan and brought all the people who should be invited over.

"Bring it in."

"Yes."

Xiao Qiuzi looks younger than Xiao Qizi, only twelve or thirteen years old. In the end, he is young, and when he sees so many masters sitting here, he can't even speak. A word of greeting is also stumbling.

"Xiao Qiuzi, repeat what you said to Hongu before." Wu Yuyan had already asked this Xiao Qiuzi when he was investigating, and he didn't want to do it that night, but Xiao Qizi insisted that he could only agree to do it. Now that he saw that Wang Jinyun and Lin Yaxin had nothing to do, Li Yiqian still had to investigate the matter strictly, and he was already scared. So when Wu Yuyan's people asked him for questioning, they had already told him everything he knew.

As soon as Xiao Qizi saw him come in, he knew that something bad might happen today, and his apprentice was good at everything else, but he was too timid. So he secretly glared at Xiao Qiuzi fiercely and warned him not to say it. Xiao Qiuzi saw Master's warning and shrank for a moment. Unexpectedly, this action was seen by many people sitting there.

"It doesn't matter what you said to Concubine Xian's sister before, but now in front of the emperor, if you dare to tell a lie, it will be a big crime to be beheaded." Zhao Qinyue reminded softly.

She can see that this matter must have nothing to do with Lan Yu. As long as this little eunuch tells the truth, then in the end, Lan Yu will definitely not be able to escape punishment. This slut has been playing prestige in front of her for so long, and now she is going to be unlucky, how can she not give her a ride?

Originally, seeing the master's fierce eyes, Xiao Qiuzi planned to change his words, but after Zhao Qinyue said this, he realized what he was thinking just now. The four big words of bullying entered his mind, and he suddenly became a little paralyzed.

"What the slave said to Concubine Xian Niangniang is true, Your Majesty, there was indeed a palace maid named Qing'er who ran to the laundry bureau that night, and she also gave the master benefits and asked the master to spread those messages. After the master arranged for us, he went to Lanxi Palace the next day, saying that he was waiting to receive the reward. I also hope that the emperor will see clearly. Xiao Qiuzi said these words almost with a crying tone, and her face was covered with snot and tears.

"You talk nonsense! Xiao Qiuzi, who did you accept to frame me like this! You wolf-hearted thing, have you forgotten that I saved you? Xiao Qizi panicked when he heard Xiao Qiuzi's words, and he didn't care that he was in front of the emperor, so he scolded Xiao Qiuzi directly.

Maybe he was used to being beaten, Xiao Qiuzi just covered his head with his hands and didn't dare to resist.

"Presumptuous! Don't pull them away yet! Wu Yuyan looked at Xiao Qizi's actions and was unhappy in her heart. Hearing her order, the people standing at the door hurriedly came in and dragged Xiao Qizi away. "In front of the palace and the emperor, do you still want to conspire to collude?"

"The slave didn't dare, the slave heard Xiao Qiuzi slandering the slave and acted impulsively, and asked the emperor to forgive him." Xiao Qizi also understood that his actions just now were indeed suspected of forcing people to collude with each other, so he also explained repeatedly.

"I don't think Xiao Qiuzi is lying, and I remember that Sister Lan's personal palace maid is called Qing'er." Zhao Qinyue said with a smile, but the meaning of the words was to implement the fact that Lan Yu was the person behind the scenes.

"My sister cares about the concubine very much, and she even knows what the palace maid next to me is called." Listening to Zhao Qinyue's words, Lan Yu couldn't wait to peel her skin and bones, gritting her teeth and mocking her.

"My sister is being pampered, and it's normal for us people to care about it." Zhao Qinyue didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lan Yu's words, and smiled generously, as if she was really a person who cared about her.

"Since Xiao Qiuzi mentioned Qing'er, she should be passed over for questioning. Sister Lan, it's Qing'er who follows you today? "According to the rules, the people who are waiting around the concubines are waiting outside the hall, if it is Qing'er who comes today, then she should also be there.

"It's Qing'er."

Soon, at Wu Yuyan's signal, Qing'er was brought in, and she looked at Lan Yu with some confusion.

"Xiao Qiuzi, what did you see that day, but the person in front of you?" Wu Yuyan didn't ask Qing'er first, but looked at Xiao Qiuzi who was kneeling on the side, obviously, he was easier to tell the truth than these two people.

Xiao Qiuzi glanced up, and then nodded quickly. "Yes, it was her that night."

"Qing'er! Besides, where did you go and what did you do the night before the rumors spread? Lan Yu gave Qing'er a hint one step ahead.

Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "That night was not the night of the slave maid, so the slave maid went back to the room early in the morning to rest, Niangniang, but what happened?" Although her expression is as natural as possible, which of these women in the palace is a fuel-efficient lamp, they are all masters of acting, and Qing'er's acting skills are not enough.

"Someone saw you go to the laundry bureau that night, I don't know how you explain it?"

Seeing the two people next to her, Qing'er already understood what was going on. Seeing today's situation, I'm afraid that Concubine Xian Niangniang should have enough evidence. At this time, her heart was struggling, and she didn't know whether she should tell the truth of the matter. For Lan Yu, she also has a lot of complaints in her heart, she didn't look down on her means of taking the position, plus some of her actions on weekdays, which made Qing'er's heart full of disdain for her. She knew that if she told the truth, then Lan Yu's fate would definitely not be good, but she would definitely be punished.

It's just that if he doesn't tell the truth but helps Lan Yu, then once the truth is investigated, he, the person who gave false testimony, will definitely be executed. Whether to help Lan Yu lie or tell the truth, her heart fell into a fierce pros and cons analysis.

Seeing that Qing'er was silent, Wu Yuyan seemed to know what she was struggling with, and said a sentence that made her let go of the big stone in her heart. "As long as you tell the truth, this palace guarantees that no one will touch you, and you will not be held accountable for the deception you just had."

When Qing'er heard this reassurance, she looked up at Li Yiqian, as if she wanted to get his confirmation.

"Say it. To lie again is to deceive the king. Li Yiqian didn't say anything directly, just used this sentence as an answer.

As soon as this sentence came out, Qing'er seemed to have received a gold medal for avoiding death, and she told everything that Lan Yu had explained to her.
