Chapter 18 Planting Blame VI
"Niangniang, where did you go?"
Zuo Chunqiu had already come to Yonghe Palace, but he didn't see Concubine Zhuang, and when he asked his subordinates, the subordinates couldn't speak. He simply saved herself in this palace and waited for her to come back, so that he could ask about the process of their trip to Taichang Temple that day.
"Left, left, left guard? Why are you here? ”
Concubine Zhuang was very surprised, she first looked at Zuo Chunqiu with wide eyes, and then at Xiangxuan who was standing next to her. She was really resentful of Xiangxuan for why she didn't tell her about Zuo Chunqiu's coming here earlier, so she wasn't prepared at all. What she was most worried about was that Xiangxuan, the dead girl, would expose the matter, and then all this would be in vain.
"Why don't you welcome me?"
Zuo Chunqiu looked righteous and awe-inspiring, obviously not being threatened by Concubine Zhuang. However, if you want to say that the threat is still a big threat from Jinyiwei, Concubine Zhuang also knows this, so she began to be nervous as soon as she saw Zuo Chunqiu.
"Welcome, of course welcome, the left guard is also a celebrity in the palace, why do you still run in person?"
Concubine Zhuang spoke extremely carefully, she changed her arrogant and domineering style in the past, and suddenly became well-behaved. However, there was a mixture of perverseness and disdain in her tone.
"I'm here today for the theft of the Niangniang pendant."
"What? Does the left guard feel that something is wrong? ”
Concubine Zhuang's heart suddenly pinched, she was worried and scared, it was not unreasonable for her to be afraid, if Zuo Chunqiu found out the truth, it would really be unimaginable.
Although Xiangxuan didn't say a word, her palms were already sweating. She silently prayed in her heart that Zuo Chunqiu would not delve into it, this paper could not contain the fire, but the truth would be broken as soon as it was stabbed.
"Mother, after my investigation, I found that something is not quite right. The pendant was lost after you came to Taichang Temple, right? ”
Zuo Chunqiu's gaze was aggressive, he knew that Concubine Zhuang was the mastermind behind the scenes.
"What does this mean?"
Concubine Zhuang's heart began to be nervous, and she even began to tremble with a teacup in her hand. Needless to say, before the matter was revealed, she looked like a thief with a weak heart and a catastrophe was coming.
"Also, according to Taichang Siqing, he saw a servant girl appear in front of Wanjun's room with his own eyes, and the maid was sneaky and suspicious, I don't know if Concubine Zhuang can know her?"
Zuo Chunqiu's words were pressing step by step, and the two opportunities to breathe were not given to Concubine Zhuang.
"I, I ......"
"I don't have to answer first, I haven't finished my words yet. While you were chatting, Xiangxuan suddenly called you back, and where did Xiangxuan go before this? ”
Zuo Chunqiu suddenly turned to look at Xiangxuan, who was trembling, and he circled around her twice without saying a word.
Xiangxuan's legs no longer obeyed, she was trembling too much, and the beads of sweat on her forehead kept dripping down.
"Xiangxuan, where did you go that day? Why did you suddenly call Concubine Zhuang away again? ”
Zuo Chunqiu put his hand on Xiangxuan's shoulder, he squeezed hard, Xiangxuan was pinched and hurt, and tears flowed out.
"Left guard, what is this doing? Do you doubt us? ”
Concubine Zhuang was a little weak-hearted, her tone was very weak, she looked up at Zuo Chunqiu, still looking aggrieved.
"Mother, how dare I doubt you, I just want to ask some questions, but your reaction is too big, right?"
Zuo Chunqiu let go of Xiangxuan, Xiangxuan was pushed to the ground, she pressed her shoulder with one hand, and climbed to Concubine Zhuang with one hand on the ground. Although Concubine Zhuang was very distressed, she could only watch the bullying of Zuo Chunqiu in her hand.
"Left guard, the clear self-purifying, are you going to bend into a move? I'm telling you, we don't eat this set. ”
Concubine Zhuang stood up, walked in front of Zuo Chunqiu, widened her eyes and began to shout with him.
"Yes, Niangniang is right, how dare I bend into a move? Now as long as Xiangxuan can prove her alibi. ”
Xiangxuan lay on the ground, looking at Concubine Zhuang with teary eyes, she just hoped that Concubine Zhuang could help her say "fair words".
"Zuo Chunqiu, you are really lawless, dare to be presumptuous in this Yonghe Palace?"
Concubine Zhuang immediately took out her posture as the emperor's concubine.
"Niangniang, if Xiangxuan can't say it, then I'll take her away."
Zuo Chunqiu's purpose is very clear, he is going to take Xiangxuan for interrogation today.
"You dare?"
Concubine Zhuang pointed to Zuo Chunqiu's nose, she really didn't want this Zuo Chunqiu to have such a big boldness, and she dared to mention people in her Yonghe Palace.
"Niangniang, I came to investigate the case at the behest of the emperor, if I don't give Niangniang an explanation, the emperor will also blame me."
Zuo Chunqiu grabbed Xiangxuan's arm.
Xiangxuan grabbed Concubine Zhuang's leg and refused to leave, her tears bursting like the Yellow River bursting its banks.
"Mother, mother, save me! Mother, save me! ”
Xiangxuan's cry was like a dagger, slashing herself one by one.
......
Xiangxuan was still taken away, and she was locked up with Wanjun. It's really a narrow road, and they actually met here.
"Isn't this Miss Xiangxuan? Why are you here too? ”
Wanjun asked this deliberately, and when he saw Xiangxuan's tears and messy hair, he knew that she was pulled out by Brother Zuo.
Xiangxuan wiped away her tears, smoothed the bangs scattered on her forehead, rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be happy too early, this matter is over!" ”
"I said Xiangxuan, are you still working so hard for your master at this time? It's really touching! But I'm not worth it for you, I'm afraid I'm afraid you'll be a scapegoat. ”
Wanjun's smug laughter echoed in the cell, compared to Xiangxuan standing next to him, he was really confident and strategic.
"Shut up, I haven't had your turn yet, let me tell you, Niang Niang is much better than you think, don't stir up our feelings here."
Xiangxuan is a good slave who is loyal to her master, and her world may have long since disappeared from what she needs and where her future is. But then again, no matter how much she thinks about it, she's just a minion.
"Xiangxuan, come out, the adults have something to ask you."
Xiangxuan was called out for interrogation by Zuo Chunqiu, she may not know what her interrogation means, but she may never be able to get out of here again. No one can know what this servant girl has been through in her life, and perhaps even she herself will not understand.
Wanjun looked at Xiangxuan's back, he actually thought of himself, he thought of himself back then, even at the moment of death, he never understood how he died.
Who cares how a slave died, so many slaves died in history, do historians still have to record them one by one? Your death will only be known if you are not a minion.
