Chapter 32: The Man Behind the Scenes

A long time has passed in the hall.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from outside the window, causing a panic, and I saw that it was two heavenly guards who came in with a person dressed as a palace maid.

After a closer look, Qin Yuanxi saw that the maid was Qinglan, a personal maid next to his mother's concubine.

Qinglan came after the crown princess entered the palace, and it has been more than six years now.

Qin Yuanxi was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his mother, and he was surprised to see her face.

Looking at my grandmother again, her face was calm and calm, faintly showing her strategy.

Thinking that a palace maid like Qinglan should be the middle executor, the mastermind behind the scenes still needs to dig deeper.

Qin Yuanxi didn't accidentally catch a palace maid, after all, it would be difficult to find something if there was no confidant palace maid to find something for those things.

In the blink of an eye, Qinglan, who looked terrified, was already crushed to the ground.

One of the Tianwei said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, it was this palace maid who called Qinglan who was eavesdropping outside, her face was anxious, and she thought that she should have framed the crown princess." ”

was pressed in front of the public, Qinglan was naturally panicked, and knelt on the ground and leaned on the ground.

"Your Majesty... His Majesty clearly investigated that the slave maid had not framed the crown princess, and the slave maid was outside...... Just curious. ”

Hearing the cowering begging for mercy, Wen Qingyun withdrew the stunned gaze on Qinglan in front of him at this moment.

looked at Emperor Yuanqing beside him, and then looked at the maid in front of him, and for a while he didn't know whether to believe her six-year battle Keke or the thunderous means of the Son of Heaven.

"Your matter, Tianwei has already investigated clearly," Emperor Yuanqing's eyes were indifferent, and his majesty was awe-inspiring.

Qinglan was so frightened by this majestic momentum that she trembled, and she still pursed her lips and kowtowed.

Her voice was vaguely choked, "Slave... The maid is not, the slave and maid are loyal to the princess......"

The prince's eyes were gloomy, as if he was sighing, and he did not deny Qinglan's words, "You are heartfelt." ”

This seemed to be exculpable, and before Qinglan could thank him in a hurry, the crown prince Qin Qichuan snorted coldly, "But you do have something to do, this is already understood by Tianwei's investigation." ”

"There are some things that cannot be completed without a letter, and the news of the arrest of the thief has just been released, and you are the one who is most busy covering up everything in the entire Qingning Palace, and there is no one outside the Ningsheng Palace, except that you were attached to the windowsill just now and eavesdropping, you are obviously suspicious."

Qinglan City Mansion is really not deep, and when these few words came out, the whole person trembled with fear.

It's just that she is still shaking her head, "The slave maid is not, the slave maid just cares about the crown princess, and I ask His Royal Highness to check ......"

"Qinglan," Emperor Yuanqing said at this time, "You have a younger brother who disappeared five months ago. ”

The speed of her speech was light and slow, but it was a heavy blow to Qinglan, and she raised her head suddenly, not even caring about anything.

To be honest, although she is not scheming in the city government, she is a careful master and has never left any clues in Qingning Palace.

Fortunately, Tianwei has a lot of people, and they investigated one by one, and they happened to secretly find such a news.

The news is reliable and ordinary, but it is enough to lock Qinglan.

Qin Yuanxi didn't care about anything else, he just felt that he interjected, and his voice immediately became cold, "It's really you, I never thought that you would be such a human-faced beast, and even the mother concubine who had been with you for six years was framed." ”

Qinglan was not persecuted in her spare time, so naturally she would not go crazy and frame the crown princess, but this does not mean that she will not be coerced.

And dear ones, this is the biggest handle.

Emperor Yuanqing took the tantrum Qin Yuanxi in front of him and took a sip of tea.

"Qinglan, your brother has been rescued, but it's just ...... Missing the right ......"

The voice was flat, but it made Qinglan's face look overjoyed, and then she hid her face and said sadly.

"Your Majesty, slave... Slave maid, slave maid is a family member who was coerced, and the slave maid refused at first, but the man cut off the palm of the slave maid's younger brother......" Qinglan sobbed in a low voice.

Maybe it's self-blame in my heart, and I don't forcibly cover it up when I talk about the wrong things I did.

Emperor Yuanqing was satisfied, and then said, "Yu Yun really entered Qingning Palace before?" ”

Qinglan weakly denied, "No, the thief just entered the day before yesterday,"

"That's no problem, after investigation, the palace gate has never let outsiders in." Qin Qichuan groaned.

"Who's behind this?" Emperor Yuanqing questioned and waved his hand.

The coiling dragon between the black sleeves waved, opening its teeth like fluttering, causing Qinglan to bow her head trembling again.

Seeing her like this, Qin Qichuan couldn't help but feel a little pity, "If you tell what you know, maybe you can deal with it lightly." ”

"The slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid has only seen that person once, only knows that it is a man, the slave maid didn't dare to frame the princess at first, but the slave maid's brother is in their hands, and they don't dare to report it to the official......" Qinglan sobbed and explained, and turned her eyes to look at the princess, as if she was pleading.

Hearing this, everyone was disappointed, but most of them didn't expect her to have much explanation as a palace maid.

"The slave just secretly copied some calligraphy and paintings of the crown princess and provided them, pinched the ministers, and then chose that night."

Qinglan trembled and finished explaining the matter. The miserable white expression revealed a resolute expression, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid know that the sin is deep, and I ask Your Majesty to spare the slave and maid's family." ”

Although there has not been any bad situation in framing the royal family, it is a capital crime to damage the dignity of the royal family in the end.

Qinglan didn't expect things to be hidden, but for the sake of her brother, she had countless entanglements in her mind, and in the end she had to go against the sky.

Just as he was about to give an order, Emperor Yuanqing thought of something, "The filth at the bedside that day was your handiwork?" ”

Qinglan didn't understand what filth was, and when she remembered that day, she only felt humiliated to the extreme.

She didn't dare to hide it now, leaned down and admitted, "... Be...... It was the thief who demanded ......, and he persecuted, and the slave and the maid ......"

Everyone had never seen the bed, but they just looked at Emperor Ning with embarrassed expressions, not knowing what this meant.

Even Wen Qingyun saw that Emperor Ning was so light and breezy, and his cheeks were a slight redness that was difficult to maintain.

Only Qin Yuanxi looked stunned.

Filth?

What?

"Okay," Emperor Yuan Qing finally got up, "Since the matter is purely a false accusation, then I will announce the results, and Qingyun will be lifted." ”

"But whether it is the people of the palace or the hostility of the Wen Mansion behind the scenes, I have to investigate thoroughly."

Qinglan knelt on the ground, her despair overflowing, only caring about her own sadness, quietly waiting for her execution.

"Qinglan framed the crown princess, the crime is extremely heinous, it is a capital crime, but think about it, I still can't bear it, after all, Qinglan is from Qingning Palace, and the crown princess should also be in charge of the harem, so it will be handed over to the crown princess to deal with."

Emperor Yuanqing ordered to play, and then hurriedly walked out of the hall, I don't know if he was worried about the disposal of Qinglan, a sad palace maid, or if there was a political matter.

The matter seemed to be resolved easily, and most of the emperors and grandsons and the two side concubines congratulated Wen Qingyun and left after a few words.

In the end, Wen Qingyun looked at the maid kneeling on the ground with some disappointment,

"Qinglan ......"
